I don't think that really matters a lot to be honest. It happened in the 30th over and the game had a long way to go after that. India still had 10 overs to plan the remainder of their chase.

[awp]

true.

I'm just very glad it didn't happen to India (or SL for that matter) in a game against Australia! The fans & Indian press would go nuts with accusations!

in any event, unacceptable umpiring, i can understand 1 umpire making an error, but 2 on field umpires, the 3rd umpire and a match referee - surely one of them can count to 6!

It's still our fault somehow, hahahah

i think India were ripped off given they only faced 49.5 overs! that said, who knows, the missing delivery may have been a dot.....Dhoni was most gracious in his comments, a class act.

Could also have been a wicket....

You know there were 299 other deliveries to score the runs,,, 1 missed delivery and that too in the 30th over and not the 49th or 50th is worth nothing most times...

it was good exciting game that ended in a tie..end of story...

Good start for the Aussies at the Woolloong.

I prefer the first few letters only as they are perennially neglected. The entire name has a sonorous tune to it.

Kholi doing his best again to be awarded ass of the year.  Love his batting (oddly, his technique is almost 'Australian') but no way this guy can be a future captain of India.  Going from someone who is all class like Dhoni to Virat would be a disaster.

Is this in regards to the catch he took? I saw that and I just thought to my self, what a complete and utter (No Swearing Please).

more his reaction to (clearly) being caught.  Hussey said out, 3rd umpire said out.....he lingered looking for someone to argue with.  I recon its unfair to hang a guy by his facial expressions as he walks off as the tv camera zooms right in.....but it didn't make for positive viewing. his carry on when he took a catch was poor.....not as bad as the guy who caught M Hussey - the young indians do field better for sure but collectively seem a complete bunch of over paid, over rated (No Swearing Please)

[kaustav]

Yeah--- Kohli is quite the loveable figure isn't he?

Luckily missed the majority of the game as the CO was in mood for back to back movies so the rant is a bit controlled. Was following the scores on my laptop and it was enough.....

Interesting conclusion if someone can stay with Dhoni. Stranger things have happened in the IPL but it's a huge ask to go at 11 an over for the last 12.

Also 'if your happy and you know it clap your hands'......

Seriously!?!?

India are never out of it with Dhoni at the crease

tendulkar took one flush on the helmet, and it done its job..good to see. Those forma helmets could seriously take off, ,dont know why they are reluctant to start selling big
