in D/N matches in SA, team bowling 2nd will have an advantage.... the ball starts swinging and moving around under lights... so toss will be very important
What is the big deal? It is just a game popular in some 7-8 countries. Except in some 2-3 third world countries, cricket takes backseat even in the remaining 4-5 developed countries. It does not even figure in Asiad, forget about Olympics. I find it so funny that we include or rather compel countries like Canada, Netherlands to play in the World Cup, just to make it look like a World Cup, when hardly 10-15 NRIs play cricket in these countries. Can anything be more farcial than this? We can only be competitive when we face the world, and not by celebrating World Cups, Aisa Cups, Africa Cups etc played amongst these 7-8 countries. Instead of wasting our time on commenting how many runs sachin made, and other such silly statistics, let us start discussing, questioning, arguing what our preparations are for the next Olympics and what Sports Authority of India is doing about it, instead of just waking up a month before Olympics. A country of billion people getting one individual gold medal, that too after a century of Olympics in existence, is a real SHAME.

Justin,
good to see you posting some sense ful comments but again why would we not love and talk about cricket? India has got Global Recognition because of Cricket only.
