Yeah, a tie was probably a fair result, but I'm sure both teams will be disappointed as both pretty much had the game won at some point.

Still one of best matches, 2 great tons, especially Strauss, has to be one of the best tons in English cricket history.

However, I am disappointed for India, the bowlers and fielders have to show some urgency, can't be lackadaisical in your approach, this isn't some meaningless tournament.

At 280-2, we had it won.

At 290-6 we had it lost

It was going so easy but we took a daft powerplay at a daft time when all they needed to do was carry on the same way and give bell a runner. We decided to just go for it and it almost turned into a disaster.

Nobody deserved to lose tho so glad we got a point. We'll both go through anyway tho.

500 balls bowled + the extra balls for like wides, NBs etc and both teams get 338.... that just shouldn't happen.

Shahzad's 6 was the biggest shot in the match. I watched the whole game, fuck the CC final, i watched the best of the CC Final anyway

Great game wasn't it ... I had given up when Strauss and Bell were going hammer and tongs ... but I should've known better - this Indian side can make a comeback at any point in the game. Yes the bowling and fielding were atrocious but a tie is a good feeling after what was looking to be a pretty easy walkover for England.

Marvellous innings from Strauss and Sachin .... haven't had such a good sport Sunday in a while.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Ireland were superb! Hats off to them, deserved win!

England now have to beat South Africa, the Windies and Bangladesh - in other words, they're out.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I just hope Ireland don't do that to India on Sunday!

[BlueLion. 21,491]
