Holy crap, Zimbabwe is laying some smackdown on the Black caps .. 177/2 in 17.2 overs o_O

SL is pretty close to now being the most boring side to watch.

Loving the ODI matches this summer and no surprise that they have been regularly close. Past few years they were complete bores, and I guess a lot of that had to do with the tri-series format being demolished.

Quite glad it is back.

Wow what a game. Pretty good series so far. Dhoni getting his beast mode on...shame it's a few weeks after the real stuff.

It really shows what a skill the yorker is at the death. So many can't do it. McKay couldn't execute the other night, Angelo couldn't tonight. Tough ask on him though.

What the fuck?

29.1 Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, 137.5 kph, opens the face of the bat and runs it down to third man
29.2 Malinga to Gambhir, FOUR, 135.8 kph, nicely controlled! Short delivery rising on the shoulder and Gambhir moved across and controlled the pull well down to fine leg on one leg
29.3 Malinga to Gambhir, 1 run, 138.2 kph, straight on the pads and he clips it away down to square leg
29.4 Malinga to Dhoni, 2 runs, 140.8 kph, low full toss on the pads and he clips it down towards deep square leg
29.5 Malinga to Dhoni, 1 run, 129.5 kph, short and wide and he slashes it down to square third man, the fielder does really well to sprint across and fire in the throw, limits it to just a single

Just a 5-ball over?

Going back to the 30th over, it was scored as a five-ball over. Did the umpires miss out that one ball? It still is a mystery.

Surely this has to be reviewed and if so, India should be awarded the win?

Missed the game due to Valentine's Day related obligations. Sounds like it was a cracker.

Didn't think Sri Lanka's score was defendable at Adelaide. Looks like they did well.

DRS, which in it's current state is a joke IMO. I've got nothing against playing within preset, agreed rules.

India don't want to create controversy about the five-ball 30th over that may or may not have made a difference to the final result of a tight game, a tie. However, it gave MS Dhoni an opportunity to raise the question that, with so much technology available, why couldn't the officials ensure the proper counting of balls, and why blindly follow the DRS?

The essence of Dhoni's comments, though, was that this could easily be turned into a controversy but he didn't want to do so. "Duncan [Fletcher, the coach] told me about it," Dhoni said. "There have been five-ball overs in the past, but we have seen the third umpire interfere and you have to come back and bowl that ball. Usually that's what has happened to us also. It didn't happen in this game, fair enough. Nothing much can be done now.

"I don't know [if a full over might have broken the tie] because you could have had a dot ball. It happens in cricket, so maybe it would have been a dot."

Dhoni said India were not going to lodge an official complaint. "Well because it's done and dusted," he said. "That's what is important. We can create a big fuss out of it but what's the point? It's like a controversy standing right at the edge, just about to happen, because we have seen in the past that we have bowled an over and they have almost changed ends. But then the third umpire interferes and says, 'Okay you have to bowl one more ball in this particular over". It didn't happen in this game. I don't know why. We don't really want to create a controversy."

As an afterthought, Dhoni took a dig at DRS. "If this can happen then I don't know why people back DRS so much," Dhoni said. "We have seen people happy with DRS in one series as long as it goes in their favour. Once it doesn't go in their favour, they are quite unhappy about it so. I am quite happy with three individuals. If I am not wrong, two umpires in the middle and the match referee and the scorer [are there], and it has still happened. Better off accepting it because we humans are bound to make mistakes."

The said over was, at that time, the second best of India's innings. Gautam Gambhir and Dhoni had taken nine off Malinga when over was called after five balls. Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lanka's captain, said he didn't know of the error. "I am not complaining," he joked.

If the third umpire doesn't catch it in time you are out of luck, it's in the preset agreed rules. No reviews sorry.

Whenever possible, it was obviously missed at the time which means that as soon as the next over starts the over stands as was counted according to the main rules. No reviews sorry.

Which main rules? I dont see the main rules mentioning the use of two new balls? /zing sorry your ass :D

Obviously this was a huge miss, in such a tight game. The fact that India isnt making a fuss about it doesnt mean its a-okay.

What's the point as it's a controversy which is right there and we don't really want to get into anything like that...Hopefully, it won't be repeated, not only with us but not even with any other side.

I didn't say it was OK. I was saying that it was part of the rules that it cannot be reviewed, which you were calling for as part of the rules.

I dont see any of it from ICC. Anyway, I think your straw-man argument to my question has gone more distance than it should have. Feel free to PM me if you want to take it further.

Cook is something else.

Sri Lanka to get their first win today?

If we play as bad as we have in the last 2 games they should...... not taking away from Sri Lanka and India's performance.

Holy shit. Forgot we were playing today then I logged on and saw the score. LOL, pretty bad.

AFL pre-season cup kicks off tonight so my attention will be elsewhere. So take this as my pre-emptive "showing up when Australia lose" post to stop irfan's knickers getting all twisted.
