They need to sort this 2.5 metre rule out. Don't understand how they reversed Cusack's decision but not Bell's.

They need to abandon it. The best rules are the simplest to understand and execute, they're overcomplicating it. Personally I would simply have three replays judged by human eye and if it isn't clearly a wrong decision after that then who is likely to argue? Dorkeye and other gimmicks make it seem like decisions can be definitively given out or not out, why not accept that on-field umpires have ONE look at it and after three looks if it isn't seen to be clearly wrong then move on.

As said before, it depends on Umpire. On this situation 3rd umpire tells umpire that all conditions are red but it is 2.5m distance. That's why you can see how umpire chatted a long to 3rd umpire after he told him about 2.5m.

Indian bowling banged Irish team too too too hard.

not really. 207 is still competitive if not challenging. we still need to remember this btw. its only half way through.

"Banged" would be more appropriate to what Windies did to Bangladesh.

Poor shot by Gambhir. Had he left it, it would have been a wide delivery.

Still think we have enough power in our lineup to win this. Hope India dont give any heartbreaks here.

Didn't watch the bowling today, how was Chawla? His stats are disappointing, yet again.

He was as poor as he was against England. After the warmups, he was highly over rated. His true colors have been revealed. He doesnt have much turn to cause trouble, and he over uses his googly a lil' too much.

Time to give Ashwin a chance (eso, against SA and WI). No problem if we have too many offies. With Yuvraj as a left armer, we can use that variety. Having a better bowler even though he doesnt add to the variety is not a bad thing.

Edit: Holy...... Sachin is GONE!!! Why are these guys creating pressure here? We are not out of danger here, I would dare say!

Harbhajan has been pretty poor in this WC as well. Ashwin should defo get in against the Netherlands. I would consider bringing back Sree or Nehra too.
