Tontey Tontey final

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 1:36 pm

After having been reduced to a 20 over affair India is 113/6, Kohli just got out after a good knock.

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 1:49 pm

England needs 130 to win, I guess very much doable.

by Marathadi-Saamiyaar Sun Jun 23, 2013 1:55 pm

If only they can remove Cook, Trott, Bell, Morgan, Root, early within the first 10... Razz

Expect this match to become a 10 over match...

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 2:14 pm

Cook did go early but still this is ENG's match to lose.

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 2:20 pm

Ashwin removes Trott, nice glove work by Dhoni; that's a big break.

I am working hard to remove Morgan and Bell...and then it is easy for the rest of the bowlers to finish off.

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 2:36 pm

Wow! 3rd umpire gives Bell out, that was a difficult call. Things are going India's way.

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 2:49 pm

Lack of quality bowling options hurting India. Pissant Sharma dished up some nice hit me balls and part timer Raina did no better. Dhobi is trying to save Jaddu for the end but will it be too late?

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 2:55 pm

That was a good over by Raina. The pitch is helping spin. Why not give the ball to Kohli or even Rohit? The seamers are looking harmless.

raina is not bad. much better than yuvaraja singhan ever was.

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:01 pm

Great work there by Pissant helping the opponents whenever they are in need.

Yuvan did well in WC 2011 as an allrounder. At one time even Bishen Bedi was impressed by his bowling and offered him help.

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:09 pm

Even Jaddu served up a dozen runs. 28 in 3 is very much England's game now. And pissant is about to bowl the next over. Dhobi trying to finish things off quickly?

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:11 pm

And pissant promptly gives up a six. Never fails to deliver - for the opposition.

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:13 pm

phew, Morgan is gone

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:17 pm

2 brilliant catches by ashwin

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:20 pm

You hit, I miss - great work by Jaddu!

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:20 pm

Who has the nerves? 7 down

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:22 pm

harakari England

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:22 pm

England outdoing India in pressing the self destruct button.

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:25 pm

England are redefining the single - bhogle Wink

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:29 pm

Unbelievable - juicy full toss served by Ashwin

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:32 pm

Wow, what a win!

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:33 pm

England implode

by Marathadi-Saamiyaar Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:33 pm

india wins 20/20 championship.

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:34 pm

can't believe england lost this one. wow!

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:36 pm

The other teams can now petition for being cheated, to play like a 50 over tournament after this 20/20 final.

by nevada Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:37 pm

Nice choke job from limited overs weakling England. It would have been a travesty for them to win this rain abbreviated game.

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:38 pm

good to see india win under very english conditions. although the pitch looked like a fourth day krumbler from delhi.

by southindian Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:41 pm

Ashwin, my Man of Match. 2 Wickets and 2 good catches

by confuzzled dude Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:43 pm

Jadeja for my money. He batted well to set up 129 target and got 2 wickets?

by MaxEntropy_Man Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:44 pm

why not ishant with the crucial match turning wkts? jadeja is also deserving. player of the tournament no doubt at all -- shikar dhawan. what a talent! this team will also do well in the long format i think.

Agree. Jadeja was good too and a good choice for MoM.

by truthbetold Sun Jun 23, 2013 3:54 pm

Dhoni should be the mom. he is super lucky or super brilliant. he calls ishant after a lousy over and the pacer responds with two wickets.
great tournament for India. good batting, effective bowling and top notch fielding.
dhoni got his touch back in limited over formats.
let us see if he can deliver in overseas test series.

sami,
you called it nearly perfect (Morgan was a miss).
what is the secret?

finally it came down to one over.

indeed. yuvraj singh was the star of that WC win. dhobi selfishly promoted himself up the order and stole the limelight from yuvraj singh in the final but it was yuvraj singh who contributed in nearly every game and took us to the final. dhobi, until the finals, was a sitting duck. and even in the final game, kohli and gambhir's knocks mattered more than dhobi after sehwag and SRT's exit. people only recall dhobi's six but the real stars of that WC win were others.

I remember some bowling decisions by SL seemed rather strange. I think Murali was held back for too long even as the game slipped away from the Lankans. And when India was 2 wickets down, the Lankans didn't go on the attack to get one or 2 more wickets.
