Having got up at 3:30 AM in London to watch India England match, it was a tasteless victory. It would have been great to watch the complete match, and not get into D/L charade. It is time, independent regulation is introduced in cricket.
Having said that, there is one point I would like to make. In the last 3-4 overs that Dhoni/Pathan faced, India scored at a rate 2-3 runs an over. Clearly, India was playing with D/L in mind (which would qualify as a tactic, however controversial.)
Why was Pieterson not attacking with all his strength. The bowlers were bowling a magnificent spell, and all they needed were 2 wickets to turn the game around. A friendly advice - Pieterson should stop standing in awe of Yuvraj/Indian team, and give us spectators something to be able to watch all 7 games - rather than making it a one-sided victory. Sure, he will do better next time.
