Lol Sri lanka.

Feel bad for the fans though, get windies in the final, get them 22/2 off 8 and they still cant win.

From pre-match interview with Marlon Samuels (paraphrase): "We had a little controversy with three women in one of the player's rooms, some people were wondering why I wasn't involved. If i was, there would have been ten."

SL handled the pressure very badly. They were far too conservative at the start of their innings and that put extra pressure on them. I feel sorry for their star batsmen who might not get another chance as they are thirty-five now.

I wish I could give a **** about the champions league but I can't bring myself to.

The level of play in the avg. game is just so bad (it's mostly the bowling).

If delhi field their full side they're gonna be tough to beat.

Yoo hoo Pietersen is in the England test squad for India. Suddenly the batting and the spin departments look better.

What. Does Pietersen returning somehow make Panesar a test level bowler?

It gives England another option. Pietersen was on fire in his last test (4-78).

Excellent article by Paddy Upton

The seven habits summarised:
1. Feel the feeling – find it in your body, acknowledge it, and watch it subside
2. Accept the result – it‘s part of sport and life. Assess the processes later
3. Gain perspective – it’s just a game. Losing hardly ever impacts the meaningful things in life
4. Support others – self-focus sinks, helping others uplifts
5. Reflect on preparation – what did you do well, what can you do better next time?
6. Reflect on the event – what did you do well, what will you do differently next time?
7. Commit to action – write it down, commit to action, ask for support

Well done Sehwag. Having cricket in India is the absolute worst for my current sleeping habits so unfortunately I didn't see any of it.

WOAT timezone for India is the WI, games start at 8:30 pm IST lol.

Decent start for us, game's probably headed for a draw though unless pitch detoriates alot or we score 500+. Ahmedabad is one of the flattest tracks here.
