Oh well, good luck.

I would imagine some Indian fans after they get home today and also tomorrow will put their tickets back up for sale.
When I looked, I thought it said that a few and a few with restricted view were available.

But that was on the initial info, there was no point in me registering.

Been plenty on today for the semi final tomorrow but nothing for the final yet



Managed to get one in the basket earlier but want to focus on trying for the final (money wise)

Disagree entirely. He's got a very strong ODI record but he's not in the top 20 Indian test players of all-time IMO.

Hmmm. He's one of the best wicket keepers to have played test cricket, the stats back that up. I'm also pretty sure he took India to world #1 in Test cricket as captain? He also won the World T20 and ODI world cups as captain of India. He's also been one of the biggest names in T20 cricket to play the game since its inception in the IPL and put in more outstanding performances than you can shake a stick at.

I know it's fashionable to be critical of him at the moment by the media but his status in the game as one of the great players is undeniable for me.

Of course he will, over the last few years, has been a shadow of himself at his peak.

But Dhoni will go down without a shadow of doubt as a great player.

Absolutely, he's just got old and the commentators haven't realised. No need to be accusing him of protecting his average or worse.
 
What came across today was the commentators kissing his arse at every opportunity due to his past success rather than admitting he was struggling.

At one point when they needed all most 2 a ball the Indian commentator claimed it was marvelous game management so he could spank the next bowler
 
Met office and BBC seem to offer completely different forecasts these days with the Met office generally more pessimistic usually. They were right on Tuesday mind...:(
