CRICKET: India wins thriller to level series

    Robin Uthappa paved way for INdia to chase an astonishing total of 317 to level the series. But Tendulkar is once again victim of his "90+phobia". Any how Hats off to Indian Cricketers...

    Yes...They behave like that only. Hope they'll come up like anything with a new coach. The new coach have given practice to throw the ball correctly to the stumps for a whole day prior to this match, which helped to send Peterson to pavilion.:)

    A whole day to throw the ball........another day to catch the ball.........and another to run between wickets..........it should work though. :)

    What a game that was! What was Pietersen DOING when he ran himself out? Shah's call of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" was the loudest I've ever heard.

    As a Sussex fan I was delighted but not surprised at Luke Wright's performance (got to 50 in 38 balls), but even then I thought we were going to be a bit light. The days when 250 was a good score in a 50 over game are long gone, but until Wright and Shah (and then Bopara) came in you got the feeling that England still thought it would be a good target and anything above 300 would be a bonus. Once Tendulkar got going I feared the worst.

    All to play for in the decider! Is it on Saturday? If so we've got international cricket, Rugby and football all on the same day!

    Makes for an exciting finale at Lords.

    Seagull, yes the match is indeed on Saturday- 9.15 GMT

    I wonder how Yuvraj Singh would have felt had India lost the match ;)

    What a match it was!!!! Special credit to Robin. By the way, I don't understand why English players try to use second grade methods to win matches.

    Could we be celebrating three English victories on the same day? Somehow I doubt it. I reckon we'll:

    Lose the cricket (India are on a roll)

    Draw the football. (Dominate the game but miss too many chances)

    Win the Rugby. (But a moral victory to the plucky U.S. underdogs)

    And I could be celebrating four wins if all three national teams win and Grimsby beat Accrington (Who are they?) Stanley!
    Shame I'll miss all three games as i'll be in Accrington :(

    We've got Millwall on Friday night. I might miss the televised sport as well as I've been invited to the County Ground at Hove on Saturday - assuming Yorkshire last that long!

    Sachin Tendulkar is my favorite player He is a Master Blaster always lot of people criticisms him while he out one digit score but India win lot of matches while he scored more runs, I think Tendulkar get over 50+ Man of the matches out of His 390+ matches , He maked 40+ 100Runs & 80+ 50Runs ,The records are very Great while compare it with others...
    I hope He will Play up to Next world cup...
