So hilarious how against Modi people are everywhere. From the e-mails posted on cricinfo, it's a shame that he didn't succeed in what he was trying to pull off. A league that would have made tons of money for the players - outside of India and Australia some of the lowest paid in any major sport...

I'm going to guess here that they went with some new company to run the speed guns that doesn't really know what they were doing. It's practically taken for granted nowadays, almost every televised cricket match of any type that I have ever seen has had them, yet here they haven't worked at any...

3 off 19 is so bad that I suspect match fixing. In fairness though he hit several hard shots straight at fielders. If you could somehow know that a player on SL was going to score 3 off 19 during the power play, you could make a fortune betting on NZ, far more than if you just knew he was...

Cheaper to go to the game than pay to watch it on TV.

In fairness Malinga has been injured all the time and has hardly bowled other than in the IPL and a few odd games for a couple of years. Also, while his action is legal by the rules, I wouldn't say his elbow is perfectly straight.

That left-armer they had looked like he had some potential.

I dunno, I miss the karbonn kamaal catch, the citi moment of success, the maxx mobile ad break, the ads in the middle of the over with gambhir and sehwag fighting over the cell phone, the useless bollywood celebs and modi getting all the camera time instead of the cricket. I mean, who wouldn't?

I would believe 38 over 18. That dude looks OLD.

Can't believe the guys who get picked for India, four spinners + zaheer would suit them well. Most of the time their "fast" bowlers get knocked out of the attack anyway and they go with part-timers, certainly they'd do better with an actual bowler? Anyway spin always does well in T20, don't see...

This is not a corporate tournament, it is similar to the deodhar trophy in India. The standard is probably higher than standard FC cricket in pakistan, the best performers were picked into 5 one day sides. For example today's opposition features 5 players with Pakistan international caps...

lol this game looks like rubbish. actually "rubbish" is not quite true as AC09 did have some merits.

The sub rule would be better if teams could have named two subs and used one per game. Then it would have the desired effect of both teams having an extra batsman in place of a bowler. Personally I think this would be good for both forms of the limited overs game. We'd see more aggression in...

I think he is one of the best ever for Sri Lanka, but some way short of the elite batsmen of his time. For one he has not been very successful in limited overs formats. For tests, the best statistic I can give is that SL have drawn 29 of the 110 tests he has played in. In these games he has...

I used to think Hauritz was terrible and going with all pace would be the way to go. But you have to respect the guy, his figures are great and a lot of them were compiled in unfavorable conditions. He will always be the guy where the selectors will be on the lookout for something better, but it...

Didn't know Lalit Modi was into the blow. Makes sense I guess. Anyway disappointing, one of the only england cricketers I liked.

That was a good decision. If they show the frame before, look closely at the bail on the far side. There's a clear color change - the bail has moved (but probably not fully dislodged) before the bat has crossed. Given that the bat is still a few inches away there's no way he's actually in in...

Can't believe Shakib wasn't even worth an IPL contract. The way I see it he would be the best player on about half the teams and an automatic selection on the others. T20 is a game of holding down the runs and aggressive hitting, the two things he's good at. Instead these rubbish all-rounders...

ugh...was the right strategy though I think, at least they got ten runs out of that last wicket. shirazu added 3 Minutes and 8 Seconds later... Nah, rubel hossain averages like 4 in first class cricket and that's after his best innings which was in this match. It's not like he was going to...

If they could pick up another 20 runs or bat about ten overs they'd probably just be safe. I would recommend they take their time though. This should be a good finish.
