Suddenly I am thinking about Ishant Sharma. Can he come back born again with a clean shave and haircut?

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 26 Mar 2011 00:33

All mullahs, mujs and nanhas are requested to follow these instructions strictly.
1) All haircuts, change of hairstyle, shaving off moustaches etc are to be avoided till WC final is over and India wins the cup.
2) At any time during the game if India is doing well, please DO NOT change your seats, go to the toilet or even better shift your position in the seat.
3) Keep chanting 'India will lose onlee' at every available opportunity.
4) Wear a dhoti (preferably soiled) and shiver profusely in dark, narrow places.
Violators are quadianis who are liable to be wahji-bull-cattle. Salams.

G Hadi inbred Afridi has started the war of words, mouthing something along the lines of " We will not allow any Indian to score big runs and we will win" etc. The inbreeder team's bowling is bound to fail at some point and I hope it is in the semi-final.

Afridi and Gul are the main threats with the ball, our top order can deal with Afridi but the lower order will struggle against his mix of flippers, in dipping medium pace chucks and conventional leg breaks.

Joo Kaffir, that record needs to change and it will only happen if God scores a ton in the SF and the others do not commit hara kiri.

"Hoping" that God does not score a ton is Blasphemy of the worst sort that calls for instant Qadrification. Bliss to keep this in mind.

among this hoo hala about big choker i see that kirkits experts here seems to have overlooked one fact
after Dmunni fell Kiwis went for the juglar vien there were at least 2 around the bat at all times and never more than 2 outside
the ring this methinks TI failed to do get an Inch do not stop till the end.

this similar poaki attack and including jijjaji was smashed by TI few months ago in SL pacy bouncier that team had no Veeru or Gawd or Yuvi,
fear not folks we will win this cup. A0A

can say if God scores more than 50, winning percentage is 63%. personally want God to silence Afraid i, how come in God's own country(not kerela) he can make a statement like that.

Chinmayanand · Post by **Chinmayanand** » 26 Mar 2011 11:21

I left this comment on Dawn forum -India Vs Pak : You have to have your say
Let us see if it gets published.

-------------------------------

Indo-Pak semi-final is going to be a walkover for India. Let us look at history first. Pakistan has always lost to India in World Cup matches. Always. So, this is a big burden this team is going to carry on its shoulders.To put it simply, Pakistan CHOKES when it plays against India in World Cup.

Now, let me come to the Pakistani bowling line up. Many of the Pakistani fans are upbeat about their bowling lineup. Is it really better than Waqar,Wasim and Shoaib combo? Come on, think about it . When the likes of Wasim and Waqar failed against India , it is foolish to pin your hopes on Gul and Akhtar.

I do agree that Pakistani bowling is a bit better than Indian bowling. But it has always been like that. Pakistan's current bowling is nowhere close to its ancient glory. When those bowling maestros could not take Pakistan over the line, i have no reason to believe that this current lineup can do that. Do not forget that the current Indian batting lineup is miles ahead of those who beat Pakistan in the past.

So, to sum it up,Pakistan's bowling is nowhere as good as it used to be BUT Indian batting is way better than the past.So, it's a point to ponder whether this current Pakistan team can really make it. I have my doubt.

Now, let us talk about pressure. Pakistan had an easy win over West Indies while India had to keep its nerves under control against the Aussies in a tight match. India has prevailed in a battle of nerves against the Aussies. So, when the Indo-Pak match gets into those nervous moments, i am confident that India will prevail. All it takes to derail the "Pindi Express" is an "Upar Cut" from Sehwag. A few consecutive boundaries and Pakistan will give in.

I still remember the 1996 Qaurter final . Sohail was going all guns blazing against India but guess what the moment he pointed his bat towards boundary and indicated to Venkatesh what he is going to do to the next ball , Sohail lost his off stump. Pakistan goes from emphatic self-confidence to abject surrender in just a single ball.

Pakistan team is a like a pendulum whose emotions swing from extremes to extremes. Mark my words, when the battle of nerves begin , India will prevail.They have been there, done that ,that too in grand style.

An Indo-Pak match in a World Cup , that too , in a semifinal is not just a match. It's more than that. It's a WAR. A war of nerves,in which one side has always prevailed over the other . History has this habit of repeating itself from time to time.

My advice to the Pakistani fans, do not get emotionally charged up. Do not ask "WIN" from your team that they cannot deliver. Odds are stacked against you. May GOD give you the courage to accept the loss gracefully when it comes. Please please do not throw stones at the homes of your players , do not threaten them with death. After all, they are just human.

Martenmullah - what I did was show gawd's specific century performances against Pakis and our winning rate which is 1 out of 5 - around 20%. You have shown century performances against all teams and the winning rate which is 69%.

Just to put things in perspective, I compared matching winning centuries of gawd with that of Ricky Integrity Ponting (I know its blasphemy) - it is 33/48 -69% of gawd versus 25/30 -83% of RIP. If gawd makes a century in a game, statistically speaking, we have 31% chance (~1 in 3) of losing a game vs 17% chance (~1 in 4/5) in case of RIP.

RIP's ODI batting statistics

PS: Gawd saved his 100th century for the final which we are going to win onlee.
