Man, Ganguly does not like Siddhu

To be fair Sardar sahib should relax, he is confrontational most of the time with his co-experts. Makes it good for the audience. But Ganguly is left to vent his facial expressions at the side cameras

For some reason today I still have faith in our team, something tells me we are gonna win. If that's not the case have the pitch forks ready for Dilbu and Marten.

According to Siddhu, WI wants to lose onlee

Man, Ganguly vs Siddhu, is so entertaining. phul paisa vasool. I like Dada's cricketing mind. Remarkable.

Anyway they are wearing the tricolour. So here it ij: India will lose onlee

Negi saar it is not about winning this game. They may very well win this one comfortably against the depleted WI team. But what happens to us in the KO stages?

Bhajji and Yusuf must be the biggest failures at this World Cup

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 18:48

We should have got a quickie in as soon as the wckt fell, MSD as usual is sleeping. The ball is new and hard when will Zak bowl, when it softens up in the middle overs ?

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 19:07

I guess the strategy is use zaheer when the ball starts to reverse swing after 25 overs. rampaul got that today consistently. hence the unusual start primarily with spinners.

as it is, zaheer was not getting early wickets ... nobody in our team was ! so start with raina or munna its all same.

either way MSD cant lose - if it works, will be hailed as out-of-box chankian plan; if it doesnt will be hailed as unconventional thinking and trying to shake things up. thats precisely how Itvity directors and CxOs make hay even with a contunuing run of failures

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:11

damn keeping away from this thread I thought is a jinx mantra... not good score at all defend, but it is disappointing bat from supposedly labeled the strongest batting team.

again back to disco!

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:19

Definitely I agree this unorthodox instinctive brain is lacking the correct logic. He is consistent in his kaptaanship pattern, and it is busted now!.. duh

btw:

"What is Munaf doing in this match ? He cannot bat, he is not been given the ball...aah, he is in for his fielding!!:

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 19:27

looks like both Munna and Zaheer are being kept back for after the 25th over and will bowl on till the 50th over for sure.
Munna for stump to stump and steep bounch; zaheer for reverse swing.

operation uranus is on, gen eremenko and rokosowsky to drive a pincer behind the 6th army.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:32

oh shiT! saw what munna did now!.. fielding!!!.. stopped the ball, and he fell.. now they can run as many runs they want..

what an ahole

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 19:47

so far WI is on track to polish off this game with around 5 overs to spare. pacing themselves perfectly @ 5.5x

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:49

can get too close to comfort.. just like what happened in the last match. it doesn't matter which team we play, we are repeating the same thing again and again.

.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 19:50

this one will not be close. WI is holding steady to polish it off.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:51

perhaps messing up the bowling order as he has finished messing up the batting order. struggling to contain with wrong set of bowlers in hand. instinct!!!

we have to wait for WI to commit mistake. period

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 19:54

What a gutless....toothless bowling attack
Ack thoo....

Fire them all....let the india A team play instead

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 20 Mar 2011 19:56

I am shutting down my live streaming.. just can't watch this guy bowling.

What a messed up team!

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 20 Mar 2011 19:58

If munna is not good enough to bowl then why the phucking hell did MSD not pick SS? This is utter bull$hit. :

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 19:59

munaf did not make any impression so far atleast.

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 20:03

Munna is total 'Thakela' as they say in bambaiya

Before exams we used to say 'Ganda fat raha hai' (feeling miserable) I am now getting the same feeling.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 20:08

we will soon know if zaheer is injured or playable. 30th over is coming. if he is to bowl 10 overs until 50th over will need to start.

but given the levels of fitness in our team, not too sure any pacer is up for a full 10 over spell on the trot. in test matches thats about the longest a pacer bowls in one spell.

Chinmayanand · Post by **Chinmayanand** » 20 Mar 2011 20:11

With Sachin and Sehwag blasting on all cylinders, TI make 290+ . Without them it's 260+ . So, these geniuses are making a difference of only 30 odd runs. What's the catch ?

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 20:14

See Zak strikes in his first over of his second spell.

mraghu · Post by **mraghu** » 20 Mar 2011 20:18

Munaf and Yusuf should give away for Sehwag and Nehra,

Chinmayanand · Post by **Chinmayanand** » 20 Mar 2011 20:18

Pollard gone.

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 20:19

Bhajji takes out Pollard

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 20:19

I hope he fires in the next one and gets a bowled/lbw

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 20:21

Time to get the fielders in the circle and choke the runs, wickets are our only hope.

mraghu · Post by **mraghu** » 20 Mar 2011 20:24

Munaf looks as if he only wants to touch the ball when he is bowling... I don't think he is fit nor his energtic. Still too many singles being given easily
