this kind of commentary is fit for bd phorum.

dhoop meh saare sdre pighal jayenge. there is no chance of victory after losing this toss. Loss is ours.

TI struggled to chase against the likes of Ireland .

Time for anti jinx mantra

Jor se bolo we will loose onlee

yess time for jinxing..

Ganguly said the pitch is good for spin later on.
Must restrict them below 270 and then take the chase. Munna should finish his quota before 42 overs.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 24 Mar 2011 13:54

with Oz batting first our last hope is gone.

We will be crushed

JE Menon · Post by **JE Menon** » 24 Mar 2011 13:56

i've stayed at home for the day to watch... and by that fact alone I fear I have already jinxed TI but I will not say how, from dread superstition, until Dilbuddin confirms it ... after the match begins (before doesn't cut it).

Pissed off already in anticipation

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 13:57

I don't like the rendition of our national anthem. It is rather weird sounding.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 24 Mar 2011 13:59

raina, kohli and yuvi in inner ring, i suppose our fielding will be good today with one weak link... munna, others being safe.

Just like JE Mennon I have also taken leave to watch this match... hope it pays otherwise weekend will be lost in giving competition to devdas

Vipin_Upadhyay · Post by **Vipin_Upadhyay** » 24 Mar 2011 14:00

The passion with which Gawd was singing national anthem is thrilling to watch. He & Sree were the most devoted.

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 14:03

Using my son's Ti-184 calculator, the current rate puts Australia with a score of 150 runs at the end of 50 overs onlee. India will win.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 24 Mar 2011 14:07

2 overs gone and still no wkt

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 14:18

For the last 3 overs, they have been conceding boundaries off the last ball. Zaheer's straying on the leg stump was especially wasteful. You've got a rhythm going, why not concentrate harder and cripple the run scoring?

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 14:20

They bowl the 5 balls tight, and then finally one boundary. Rips the heart out.
We need a wicket now.

Aditya_V · Post by **Aditya_V** » 24 Mar 2011 14:23

White Pacquis are off to a flyer 24/0 in 6 overs, Watson and Haddin are eyeing Hundreds

amdavadi · Post by **amdavadi** » 24 Mar 2011 14:25

wicket in 9th over.....

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 24 Mar 2011 14:26

nothing happening for zak. they should get munna in and save zak for a spell around 30th over and the death.

anything over 250 against lee/tait/johnson under lights is well nigh impossible on this track. expect clarke to take out a couple as well. ashwin should try a few doosras IMO.

Pratyush · Post by **Pratyush** » 24 Mar 2011 14:28

32/0 in 7.1 overs

We will loose onlee

Hari Seldon · Post by **Hari Seldon** » 24 Mar 2011 14:28

I agree. Lost cause happening. Get that sinking feeling only. Still, continuing to watch hoping TI gives decent competition rather than fold up like WI did or like the WC2003 finals.

:((

both hussey brothers in today.
They will rape TI onlee

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 24 Mar 2011 14:29

he is starting to look very dangerous and methodical. need him back in pavillion quickly.

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 14:34

Again, bhajji bowls 5 tight balls and the last one is on the leg, gives away 2. Nothing like a maiden to send worries up the batsman's mind.

Pratyush · Post by **Pratyush** » 24 Mar 2011 14:36

TI

Bliss take two wikits or we will loose onlee......

Neela · Post by **Neela** » 24 Mar 2011 14:36

Looks like Aus have an approach here. Not too many risks and punishing the bad ones.

Lilo · Post by **Lilo** » 24 Mar 2011 14:38

watson gone

Neela · Post by **Neela** » 24 Mar 2011 14:38

THE CONCH SHELL BLOWS!

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 14:38

Tight first 5 balls result in Watson having to swing. Great bowling Ashwin.

amdavadi · Post by **amdavadi** » 24 Mar 2011 14:39

what i said wicket in 9th over.....Bingo

Neela · Post by **Neela** » 24 Mar 2011 14:45

Ponting very very nervous onlee. That captaincy thing must be a devil inside his head now.

amdavadi · Post by **amdavadi** » 24 Mar 2011 14:45
