Nehra should be bowling those leg cutters on the off and not on leg stump; an uppish drive would yield a catch.

considering the activities of Pakistan in India, why do we keep sporting relations with them anyway? this just gives them a chance to play ==

cuba and venezuela have not done 1% of that but resolutely treated like a pariah by the sher khan - thats consistent atleast.

Bchod bkais lost early wickets against almost all other teams it is their middle order that saved them, today fckn we can't even get these sheep shaggers out.

Hari Seldon · Post by **Hari Seldon** » 30 Mar 2011 18:45

India will lose onlee.

And might as well lose bigtime (like by 10 wickets or something). That will force BCCI's fatarse into allegedly radical but perhaps overdue changes - like dropping Dhoni.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 30 Mar 2011 18:46

its distasteful to badly against pak but think about it - if we cannot manage the pak batting lineup, the bowlers are not good enough - as simple as that.

Vipin_Upadhyay · Post by **Vipin_Upadhyay** » 30 Mar 2011 18:46

With Zak out of touch today, we will find it difficult to get wickets. May be our best spinner Yuvi can be tried for a few overs.

If any dew comes down later in the game then we really are screwed - spinners will become useless.

Nehra bowls in a vaccum no seam no swing. Fck

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 30 Mar 2011 18:50

I don't understand whu Dhoni had to alter the winning combination from last match. If it was because of the pitch then Munaf & Nehra are not really making use of it. Aswin & SS would have won this game for us. Phack MSD.

VikramS · Post by **VikramS** » 30 Mar 2011 18:51

Only Munna seems to be bothering. Nehra has the line but no speed. TI needs some magic. They are about 30 runs short and the TSP batsmen seem to be under no pressure.

He is actually close watch on our enemy at close quarters no? What more do you bhant?

Our bowlers are bowling short of length ; the ones pitched up were too full.

mraghu · Post by **mraghu** » 30 Mar 2011 18:52

Dhoni is reaching a stage in captaincy where he feels he is the only the correct guy. His faith in people like Munaf, Piyush and Yusuf is too much.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 30 Mar 2011 18:52

But.. believe people believe.. anti-jinx has won us many a match. India will lose onlee.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 30 Mar 2011 18:53

in a way maybe its good - a look at Dhoni's track record as batsman in the last one year is long overdue.

to be fair to australia they give people a long rope but in the end do act decisively - we do not like to talk of unpleasant topics. ganguly's ouster was not graceful.

why are you even watching this now ? I haven't watched a ball since dhoni and raina were showing copybook forward defence in the 40+ overs. looks like I made a very good decision.
a loss can be understood but this approach and team selection cannot.

Zaheer to Kamran Akmal, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Yes... keep your chants coming. India will lose onlee

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 30 Mar 2011 18:55

I am going to knock it off shortly, have a tray of ice forming in freezer and a bottle of black label to dig into.

a heavy loss - atleast I will too "out" to care

Why our SDREs fielders so afraid of diving. At least they should have tried to stop that.

negi · Post by **negi** » 30 Mar 2011 18:58

Munna is the best bowler today; he might be wicketless but is bowling with heart and with a plan.

negi · Post by **negi** » 30 Mar 2011 18:58

2 more quick wickets, we are back into the match.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 30 Mar 2011 19:00

Daymn thats good liquid sire. i suggest you knock back 4 pegs immediately. you will be on the edge and happy.
if india loses, keep going for 3 more and into the dont-care zone.
if india wins, ofcourse you need to celebrate with 2-3 more...

either way, that fine whisky will be used.

Bhajji's first over and all I can think is Ashwin.

Vipin_Upadhyay · Post by **Vipin_Upadhyay** » 30 Mar 2011 19:09

Ashwin could have easily bowled in Power Plays, leaving Zaks over for older ball. Dhoni previously fell in love with Jaddu and now Chawala & Nehra.

negi · Post by **negi** » 30 Mar 2011 19:09

Bhajji needs a silly point.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 30 Mar 2011 19:10

SM and RS are real bad omens . knew we were in trouble when I saw him on field.
SM has many a axe to grind incl against SRT.
