Ayyo it wasn't my fault. Pliss to wait before you pull out that pitchfork of yours.
Viru did his job. One of the best opening stands in WC history.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 12 Mar 2011 16:13

never lucky to see TI hitting, they always do this when I am not online. just woke up to only see gambhir is slowing things down after an excellent see whack start.

gg <- raina is watching you man!

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 16:26

need to score more than 375 considering our bowling and possibility of due in the evening

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 16:31

from cricinfo:

Using Richie Benaud's formula of: Double the score after 32 overs and subtract 10 for every wicket lost - Gives a par score for India of 410 after 50 overs. Anything less than 400 for India would be a disappointment after this rollicking start," says John.

never heard of this faarmoola before

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 12 Mar 2011 16:31

run rate matters for that!

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 12 Mar 2011 16:36

nearly everyone uses a variation of this one. my formula is
final score = 2Xscore at 30overs if everything plays out 'normally'.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 12 Mar 2011 16:39

but all formula are baselined off dhoti shiver whine one.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 16:42

god gets the century

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 16:44

yeah generally the formula presented by Rahul is used but it is named after Richie Benaud is new to me or I was in cave with osama?

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 12 Mar 2011 16:49

SRT gets century -> India will fine some way to lose the match!

*shiver cower*

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 12 Mar 2011 17:04

111

dhoti shiver begins!

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 12 Mar 2011 17:07

This is what happens if you guys expect 400 or 600 runs.

Pratyush · Post by **Pratyush** » 12 Mar 2011 17:08

2 down in quick succession

We will loose onlee

krishnan · Post by **krishnan** » 12 Mar 2011 17:09

Blame it on Dilbu

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 12 Mar 2011 17:09

TI should have a policy to never lose two wickets within the space of 25 runs.

now 3rd one falls two.

Gambhir should have played steady, rotated the strike and allowed the other batsmen to pound. Now we are going to pray to score 325.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 12 Mar 2011 17:10

as expected things are falling apart

we will be lucky to get 310 and you know what that means.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 12 Mar 2011 17:11

India will lose onlee.

SandeepA · Post by **SandeepA** » 12 Mar 2011 17:12

Yuvi/Dhoni partnership...expect scrappy runs...target will end up less than 310

manish.rastogi · Post by **manish.rastogi** » 12 Mar 2011 17:12

damn...god got out just as i woke up...probably should go back to sleep...still india will loose only...

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 17:14

this is the case i mentioned in some previous posts regarding place for Raina in place of Kohli in the playing eleven. In the subcontinent most of the times he will be pushed down the order once we get a good start and batting down the order he will struggle. Moreover, Raina can bowl some offspinners

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 12 Mar 2011 17:24

yuvraj out.

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 12 Mar 2011 17:25

Choke

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 17:27

dhoni and kohli should bat sensibly and get to 330

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 12 Mar 2011 17:27

kohli joins the procession

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 17:28

ohhh kohli gone

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 12 Mar 2011 17:29

time to pull shutters and aim for say around 6 rpo. finish up around 330 by using all overs and start praying our bowlers can do some damage. afterall england bowled out this same batting for 170 the other day.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 12 Mar 2011 17:30

TI doesn't know how to use power play!?

again futhan coming early is a bad idea. raina again missed! dhoni will rue if TI doesn't get this game.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 17:33

yes singha is right, looks like pitch is slowing down, getting difficult to score once the ball gets older

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 12 Mar 2011 17:33

We only have one full time spinner in this match....

Thats going to hurt further

Dmurphy · Post by **Dmurphy** » 12 Mar 2011 17:35

Raina being sorely missed

And we're gonna miss Ashwin when we come out to bowl.

While South Africa may miss Chawla.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 12 Mar 2011 17:37

what has happened to dhoni? doesn't look like he can hit a boundary,even singles is looking difficult for him

Dmurphy · Post by **Dmurphy** » 12 Mar 2011 17:37

Last few overs:

1 . 1 1 1 W | 1 1 . 1 . W | . 1 . . . 1 | . 1 . 1 1 1

WTF!

Bhajji gone!!! Bhajji's tingli has passed on to his feet...no wonder he keeps getting taken out bowled.
