Group B (Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda)

He's in the covers at the moment.

Sehwag racing away, 106-1.

Is it looking bad rain-wise????

India have flexed their muscles against the minnows of Bermuda by amassing 413 for 5 including Sehwag's century, 57* off 29 balls by Sachin and a majestic onslaught by Yuvraj who hit 83 off 46 balls.

To their great credit Bermuda kept chasing every ball, diving stops on the boundary even in the final over. There was also a lovely moment when big Leverock completed his spell, having been blazed to all parts he was still man enough to share a smile and joke with Tendulkar as he took his cap.

413 runs is a new world cup record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Massive win - lots of records went today.

Nicely played by India. Well done to Sehwag, just hope he doesn't score single figures for 30 odd more innings. And Sachin, as always, sheer brilliance, lovely majestic knock and credit to the other batsman as well. 

  Fine response by the Indians after the disappointment against the Bangladeshis.  Fascinating to see the 6's bludgeoned by both Yuvraj and Sachin - hit to the same area !!  The left hander blazing over midwicket and the righthander hitting inside-out over cover/extracover.

   As Clobs said , the Bermudans never gave up under the onslaught and that moment after the 49th over between Leverock and Tendulkar was heartwarming - that's what sportmanship and the great game is all about!

   Congratulations to India , you've given yourselves a good chance to progress now and the SL game could even put the SA/Aus clash in the shade.

   I just wish there was an award for the most sporting side in the competition - Bermuda would win it , hands down!

Bermuda maybe getting slaughtered all the time but there always giving it their all espeically in their field some of there fielding has been amazing this tournament there's been atleast 5-8 great catches by the Bermudans. David Hemp was impressive with this 75*.

If you haven't seen it, this is wonderful

Originally posted by scuudz The Ind vs. SL is going to be the biggest game of the tournament in the group stages so far.  As for the sl-bd game, I hope one or the other has a big win.  It would be bad for India if that was a close game.  I cant see bd beating sl comprehensively.  So, I will be rooting for SL to cream bd.

It would be difficult to cream BD at this stage.

It's going to be a close match.

It's going to be overcast tomorrow. Toss will be an important decider.

Well 3 days ago i was shock when a bunch of schoolboy beated up a team full of superstars like dravid, gan, sachin. Well yesterday watch a great day of cricket if you are an indian fan.

I was impressed with Sehwag, the feet are moving now.

Getting our butts kicked alil, 102/1 :( Jay just might turn this into a massacre!!

BD are considerably behind on D/L

Ok, it didn't say that later on cricinfo so the guy must have made a typing error.  A 198-run win for SL.  That will suit India just fine.
