Sanjay - yes, the solution of adding individual game NRRs separately is problematic too, but I had said that the plus-side RR may be capped at 8 to avoid unrealistic plus-side RR in a match side that bats second (OK, now I suggest increasing it to 413/50 = 8.26, the largest first inning run rate, o...

Yeah, had we not batted frist yesterday, we were pretty much OUT of this (barring a Bangladeshi collapse against Bermuda later).  That is why we were staying up and sweating Sunday night, thinking of the NRR issue.  Now, the same problem has shifted to Bangladesh.  If they lose to SL and we beat SL...

I am late in posting the WGC field.  I plan to do it tonight; if Ajay or Sandeep or Jaydeep (our two source of lights - deeps) can posit it before then, it would be great.  You could also post your picks from the field listing without waiting for the list to appear on the thread.

Yeah I have a 14 yr old boy and an eight year old girl - the younger one still likes to act like a 3 year old and sing that song ... "The babies on the bus go, wee wee wee, wee wee wee, wee wee wee; The mommies on the bus go, shhh shhh shh, shhh shhh shhh, shhh shhh shhh" (Replace "babies" with the...

Nice analysis, kujo. After reading the posts of various members, I have come to the conclusion that despite the vast popularity of cricket in India, we do not have enough decent batsmen to replace Uthappa .   :kookoo: I will include the safety and good health of the Indian batsmen in the WC squad i...

Shocking performance by our bowlers today. Bermuda 135/8 -- an absolutely shameful score! And, yes prasen9, perilous for us too! We can count on Team India to find a way to humilitate themselves and us fans.  No matter what they do in this match, in my books they are failing.  Sad day; unfortunatel...

Ganguly lets a ball drop in front of him instead of going for the catch. I am not surprised (though ecstatic) at our batting performance.  But, I am perplexed at our bowlers' inability to get this team out.  They can't have a better situation than this to assert their dominance.  If they are unable...

Dominant win by Sandeep! Congratulations!! Having all five players making the cut, sort of predicted your win on the second day itself. :) It will be interesting to see what the money list will bring. Probably Jaydeep would have topped that list again!! -kujo This is not even close; Jaydeep is the ...

He helped more than that by winning and getting you 20 extra bonus points.  See the post below for the final tally.

After reading all the posts after the debacle of losing to Bangladesh (not that Bangladesh isn't good, but India is still better team than Bangladesh), I think we need to revert to a proven but stable lineup: Ganguly Tendulkar Uthappa Dravid Yuvraj Dhoni Pathan Singh Kumble Khan Patel Note that my t...

I am saddended by his death.  Wish his family peace and my sincere condolences.

On a day when only nine golfers broke par, Vijay Singh was three under par at 67 and moved up to third place.   :D What's with this golf course!  The early morning results from top players are dismal again.  These pros are scoring like amateurs.  I can't recall a worse performance in PGA for a long...

I cant believe that someone here is blaming Ganguly.  Come on!!  That is the most stupidest thing I've read or heard!!  Dravid should be blamed entirely for losing this match. Why does he keep picking Sehwag?  Sehwag's loss put tremendous pressure on the team.  The team is just not responding to hi...
