Tendulkar better get some notes quickly from KP before they start their 2nd innings.

Missed that wicket to. Lol@dravid on 94 and two wickets left, would love it if he got to 99 and they were all out! (mainly cause of the honours list thing there at lords)

Nobody seems to have pointed out that England are the best in the world right now.
Anybody who watched them before the 2005 Ashes series just think about that. England. The cricket team. Best in the world. World. Best. |

Obsessively tried to follow the final on a train along the infamously-bad-for-mobile-access Poacher Line. Phoned my grandparents and got commentary for the final ball to confirm Leicestershire had won the trophy. Absolutely fantastic having three wins in one day (LCCC, LCFC, LCCC). One mad superfan on Radio Leicester dashed up and down the M69 to attend all three! |

The Champions League dream is most likely over. Still could beat Ruhuna, but no chance of qualifying as the best second-placed team. Fantastic season though, as far as t20 goes.

CL 20/20 Doesn't even compare to the sheer utter devastation and disappointment it must've felt being an Indian fan during the England series.

The Foxes already punched way above our weight this year. Not like we've been knocked off top spot or anything.

ICC rejects Tendulkar’s ODI format change proposal
Story Dated: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 14:38 hrs IST
Colombo: The ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat here Wednesday shot down Sachin Tendulkar's proposed changes in the ODI format making it a four innings 25-over-affair rather than current 50-over format. "There is no need to change the format," Lorgat told reporters here at a breakfast interaction. Tendulkar, a prolific run-scorer in ODIs with over 18,000 runs, 48 centuries and 95 half centuries had written a letter to Lorgat, seeking a radical switch from two 50-over innings to four phased out innings of 25 overs each – method tried in Australian domestic cricket. "We did receive a written proposal from Sachin, but that was a long time back. I myself have spoken to him many times about it, the last one as recent as during the World Cup in April. The success of the tournament showed that the 50-over format was sound in health and there was no need for dramatic changes," Lorgat added. He further added," The executive board meeting after the World Cup decided that the present format was doing well. That has not changed," Lorgat stressed. The senior batsman had argued that four alternate innings of 25 overs would be a fair way to balance the advantage gained by the team which won the toss in conditions such as bad weather, sub-quality pitches which historically had proven that a match can virtually be decided by the toss of a coin. Lorgat also commented on another point of contention with India –the DRS. He thought the system was working well despite Indian dislike towards it. "Even the best of umpires have a success rate of 95 per cent. We see a five per cent improvement because of the UDRS while there can be 1 per cent margin for error. The question is if we want to sacrifice 5 per cent for 1 per cent?," Lorgat questioned. |

The four innings idea would take too long in one day. Even if its just 25 overs. Its stupid anyway.

I agree, one day matches work fine as they are, no need to turn 50 over games into "test lite".
