What a tragic waste of a promising - and what was likely to be - a record-breaking career. Cricketing hero alongside Sir Viv.
And for people (especially the uninformed kids that spout whatever garbage the Telegraph and the 'Barmy Army' are shouting) - this is why I am not full of respect for the English cricketing traditions. I love Test Cricket because I think it's a fantastic sport. The history that goes with it is massively significant but not of all it deserves respect. In fact, a lot of it doesn't deserve respect. People say 'It would be wonderful to get a ton and get your name on the Lord's honours board'...if I ever played a Test match at Lord's (and don't write me off just yet), I wouldn't be trilled at having my name listed alongside the names of some absolute twats. MCC was a shameful, pathetic boys club and so were many of the twats that played for England. Gubby Allen...twat. Colin Cowdrey...fat twat. Doug Insole...fat twat. John Arlott...legend. Fair play to England though for letting at least one deserving South African play for them.
WI 211-9 in their 50 overs
India 102-5 off 22 overs
Sachin isnt playing so interest in the game is low
India won. Just. Rohit Sharma hit 72.
Close game - poor cricket by both sides though.
Kohli's playing well today if anyone wants to see some beautiful tekkers. India chasing a competitive 270, and are 84-3 atm.
Sehwag, after being dropped twice, gets caught on the boundary. What a failure.
India won by 5
Kohli got a century
Sharma in the 90s
WI 260-5 off their 50 overs
India 43-3 off 9 overs
Sehwag and Gambhir both out first ball
Kohli also gone for 20 odd
India are getting utterly robbed in the 3rd ODI today. Umpire gave Kohli out for absolutely no reason - no chance in hell that was an lbw...Kohli went mental, started swearing at him and he might well get a ban for the next few games (should be ok to play in Australia, hopefully). Then an off-form Raina was given caught down leg-side when the ball was nowhere near the bat. Jadeja was just given out as well off a clear no ball but thankfully the umpires reversed the decision.
105-6
Jadeja run out
WI win by 16 runs
