    There needs to be more investment from the ICC. Some players are playing at this tournament and then will go back to their country and do a 9-5 job.

    It is a massive moment in the game because if India had lost Rohit early it would have put them under some pressure.

    Oh, he should have caught that.

    The fielder is really annoyed because he did get there.

  10. dropped catch

    Rohit dropped on zeropublished at 0.3 overs

    Rohit Sharma whips Ruben Trumplemann round the corner, straight to Michael van Lingen at short fine leg.

    It carries as Van Lingen dives forward but the ball ricochets off his wrist and away four.

    Tough, but takeable.

    More from Ravi Shastri: "They need rest now. I am mentally drained, but I expect that at my age, but these guys are physically and mentally drained. They have spent six months in the bubble and we would have ideally liked a bigger gap between the IPL and the World Cup. It is when the big games come and the pressure hits you, you are not as switched on as you should be. It is not an excuse because we take defeat. We're not scared of losing. In trying to win you will lose games, but here we didn't try to win because the x-factor was missing."

    Namibia did finish strongly to give themselves something to bowl to.

    Outgoing India coach Ravi Shastri: "It has been a fantastic journey. When i took the job I said in my mind that I wanted to make a difference and I think that I have. In life it isn't always about what you've accomplished, it is about what you've overcome and what these guys have overcome over the last five years, the way they have travelled around the globe and performed in all corners of the globe, in all formats, will make this, irrespective of what has happened here, one of the great teams in the history of the game. We are out of this tournament but it takes nothing away from a great side.

    "Winning in red-ball cricket across the globe and to beat all the sides in white-ball cricket, we've beaten them in their den and that was my and the teams endeavour. We were labelled as bullies at home but this team has shown they can win abroad.

    "Rahul Dravid has inherited a great team and with his experience and stature he can only raise the bar. There is guys with a lot of experience and they will be around for another three or four years."

    Bumrah's yorker, fast or slow, is just so good.

    India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin: "There was a nice bounce to the piece and that was a good cross-breeze today and that was useful for the spinner.

    "Changes of pace is important to get the dot balls in and whenever you slowed it down a bit it held a little bit. You always want to bowl first on this pitch because you never know what is going to happen with the dew.

    "Every team would find it hard playing today but every time you wear the India shirt there is pride."

    Namibia have ended well enough to make up for the stutter in the middle. They have managed to put some of the India bowlers under pressure and I think that is what they would have been trying to do.

    Namibia can keep their heads held high.

    That was a brilliant stop. It was flying towards him and went the opposite way on the bounce.

  20. Nam 132-8published at 20 overs

    Ruben Trumpelmann flays the last ball round the corner and Suryakumar Yadav makes a terrific stop to prevent the boundary and keep that to a single.

    The ball deviated sharply as it bounced in front of him.

    So India need 133 to end a disappointing tournament with a win.
