Madkal: Feb 11, 2008; Fallen Rib

Going to watch the game in some Aussie bar in the middle of downtown Vancouver. I predict that SA will be the first team to break the 5 hundred run barriar and India will be the first team to lose by 500 runs.

Afghanistan have a better batting lineup than England: discuss.

Stop picking on the minnows, England are trying their best.

Jayawardene is scared to face these men. He knows this track is not flat enough for him to bully these men.

Is there a reason other than he's an absolute fraud that they've sent out some dude instead of Jayawardene?

Maybe he likes to run at appropriate times. No place for that here.

Mathews and Jayawardene will probably finish this, but gently caress, it�s been good so far

Mercy is the cry and it's never heard.

And Shane Warne is commentating on the SA/India match.

Stopped the timer at 4mins without mention of the Australian team or Clarke - a new PB!

Perfect chance for Jayawardene to plunder some runs against amateurs on a flat deck and a tiny ground
