I guessed that. cricbuzz.com usually updates their scores quicker than ever lethargic cricinfo.

I saw that but cricinfo looks more clear to me.
Also I like the site because I find very interesting the cricketers profiles, it's helping me to get in the game!
About that, as some users were criticizing India, let us not forget that players like Tendulkar, Laxman and Kumble were missing this ODI.
About Bond, if he doesn't get injured again he could be very helpful for New Zealand team in next WC!

Laxman and Kumble are not regular in ODI squad. And even without Tendulkar, their batting line-up is good enough to chase 215.

i wonder what makes indian selectors choose ganguli, the guy is in seriously poor form. raina batted well but was rewarded with being dropped by gangu who prompty scored a 100 ball 50 and made india lose to SL and then keep giving sehwag his valuable company in the final and india lost duly also why is agarkar there, both balaji and khan are better than him.
india should just play wth their best 11 instead of thinking complex history and who should be captain etc.

What a way to come back in intl arena by Bond. He was a favorite of mine and so glad to see him back with a bang. World cricket needs more impact pacers like him. Great for cricket. As for Ganguly, no matter how much he denies it, his dislike for chin-music is noted and used widely as a ploy to bother him. It will continue.

Not surprised at all. India has only won two ODIs in the last 10 they played. Those two wins were against a West Indies B eleven, which should have been scratched anyways.
If we estend that search to 20 matches, India has a total of 8 wins. Two each against Bangladesh (we fielded Shanto and Mushfiq in one of them) , West Indies (B), and Pakistan. One each against England (without some of the current players) and Kenya. I wouldn't really brag about the wins against BD, Kenya and the West Indies B sides.
There's a reason they are ranked seventh among the ODI teams. ( http://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/lg.html).
The only reason for this post - IT BOTHERS ME TO NO END that some of the Indian journalists always go after easy targets like Bangladesh (not Zimbabwe though) even when it has nothing to do with INdian cricket. My advise to them would be to focus on the recent poor results of the Indian team. In paper (mostly Indian) they are supposed to the the second or third most 'talented' side in the world, so why the poor ranking/results?
