****the official CRICKET thread*****

I didn't see it but according to Cricinfo, Cook received a very poor decision:

Error of the day
If India were feeling aggrieved at the not out decision to Trott, their mood was quickly improved by the lbw decision against Alastair Cook in Sharma's next over. Cook, the most prolific batsman on either side in this series, was struck on the front pad as he prodded forward, with replays suggesting the ball would have missed the off stump by some way. It was a surprising error from Dharmasena, who was named the ICC's umpire of the year in September, and another reminder of the value of the DRS.

nah we ain't know what we talking about..

Johnson left stranded on 92...Aussies maul Sri Lanka for 103!... 3 batsmen injured hurt!

[Dizzy28]

Good showing by the Aussies. Dunno how sold I am on the rotation policy which means Johnson may miss the next test. They giving their fast bowlers no more than 2 consecutive tests but it robs a player of momentum and the fans of seeing ppl they may want to see. Guess you can do that though with the riches in fast bowling stock the Aussies have.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

tru^,but first time in a while I see so many players retired hurt and a score card saying (absent hurt) d rass is this.

[trent]

Blistering innings from Yuvraj 2day...Hafeez played a good knock as well

[trent]

Mike Hussey to retire from International cricket, the New Year's test vs Sri Lanka will be his last.
WTF... I know he's 37 but WHY?!!!!!!!!! He's such a great cricketer, in all forms of the game...Mr. Cricket, u will b missed!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

yuh noe,it's not like he's out of form,he coda wait till the ashes,cause it and then retire.

[equipped2ripp]

So Hussey soon to be out now, either Bailey or Khawaja should take his place... too bad Mr. Cricket wasn't given a chance to play at the international level when he was in his 20s, he made his test debut at age 30


Anyway, India v Pakistan ODI... India 20/4

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[speedmelter]

India came back well to post a decent score but pakistan licks them.. nice to see them winning games again
