Noooo 

They didn't deserve a decent score! With the exception of Miller, they batted poorly.
If England had of done the same when batting, then I would be saying that they were lucky to even make 175.

No, they didn't, but if Peterson had stayed in there may have been a chance annoys me though, I hope we come out firing !

Sam got to many. Cook to scared to go for the jugular,


Root will see us home though.

It was great listening to the TMS team telling tales of trott as a pup in the nets bowling long hops thinking he was white lightening!
Still, not as sweet as watching Trott stick one over the Saffers!

Thought Buttler kept well and tredwell bowled very well.

Trott should be called eveready

Wasn't really much to say.

Batted like clowns.

AB's dismissal, for Proteas joint best player along with Amla(Kallis and Smith absent) was downright stupidity.

Mclaren was clearly so happy to see his pal Tredwell again, the ran out of his crease and let Trott run him out.

And as I said before you can keep Trott.

Nah, we'll trade you for AB or Amla

No deal!!!

Out of interest, can anyone explain why this Dhawan chap was behind Gambhir for so long?

Dhawan looks a great find and unlike Gambhir has shown in the CT13 he can play in foreign conditions.

Dhawan was behind Kohli as well. He did have an opportunity few years ago but didn't do as well and then had a bad run with injuries etc. In the mean time Kohli, Raina, Rahane, Pujara made it even more difficult to secure a place. I hope he continues his form and run, I still think it is early days.

Was at Edgbaston watching India vs Pakistan and never seen so much excitement for a dead rubber of a match. The whole atmosphere was electrifying for most of the day.

No deal!!!

You can have Broad too... #nextfreedieflintoffapparantly

Waiting for tomorrow  Expecting an exciting match between India and England. Both equally talented teams in for the battle.

Definately the right teams in the final for me, home team vs the form team. The conditions will play a part as will the toss. If Jimmy knocks over the top 3 then India will be tested. Dhawan is the most exciting opening batsmen ive seen since Viru and Gilly and doesnt to care who he is facing. Bowlers will suss him out eventually but not before he has hammered most teams and laid a good platform. England have been searching for years for a destructive opener and anyone and everyone has had a bash. Trescothick came closest to fitting this and its a damm shame he cant play.

I think that Trott and Cook have and should always play ODIs as they have the best tempraments of any top class batsmen playing today. Nodody will win a 50over tournament without 2 highly dependable batsmen that can bat all the way through IMO.

Looking forward to a cracking final tommorow and I wish I wasnt playing myself.
