Looks lets face with the Tornament Format and Minnows Kenya, Zim and Canada a being soo weak, Porkis are going to get into the QF, so I would rather they win all thier League games, get overhyped and let the law of averages catch up with them in the QF.

SL bowled pretty decently at the death. Some of our "slow-medium" bowlers should have been watching.

Dilbu, SL 96/4 - better repeat the Mantra and above and state unequivocally that that it is impossible for the POrkis, White Pakis not to win the World CUp.

Pakis are doing well. Sanga will get out soon.

I don't see how they can't get into the finals at least.

Sorry for the initial misfire onree. Reverse jinx was introduced too late. Lost it by a whisker.

India will lose onree.

Everone in Manchester seem pretty confident that England CAN win. The main strem British Media think If Peterson and Swann are key to England Success.

If our bowling is DISCIPLINED we will win ...*********** kneels down and prays******************

Hate to say this but Tellolistan have got a pretty good team and they will not be facing OZ land in the QF. If they make it to the semis then who knows?
Afridi has been in top bowling form lately. Throwaib and Gul are good at the death. The key to beating them is Sehwag. Sehwag needs to be at the crease when the Paki spinners come on to bowl. SRT has got good scores/decent starts in all the WC matches played against Pakroachistan, the law of averages is bound to catch up with him at some point.

OZ land is looking hot too. Lee is bowling good lengths, Johnson has tightened up his lengths and Tait will always get you wickets if you let him bowl long enough.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 26 Feb 2011 23:53

OZ batting looks brittle compared to SA, IND and other biggies. TSP is unpredictable. SL will take a long time to recover from this defeat.

In ODI, Chasing is always hard and especially in Indian Subcontinent where in order to hit to spinners you need to make an effort (as oppose to medium pacers where all you need is angling the bat).

The highest ever chase to win at Colombo is 271 runs by India.

Let me try to predict
I have dog food treat in my hands. Same food same smell same size. Left -India win and right England.
My dog (we call her Heera) chooses left.........India wins.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 27 Feb 2011 05:35

If we play first, then we must get a respectable 350 odd runs at the bare minimum. Or, we have to bundle them out within 250 if they bat first. Call of the spinners, and mighty hitting batsmen. Sewag-Kholi-Pathan-Raina-Dhoni, and not to forget bhaji.

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 27 Feb 2011 07:49

the Pak team looks well rested , united and controlled - ie in good shape after a long time. even Akhtar is firing in yorkers with accuracy for the first time in many a year. they look as good as they did for the T20 world championship masha-allah.

about India - I suppose we might squeak into semis , but our bowling attack will give away too many runs in general so if we bat second against a strong bowling attack like Aus or SA our chances are bleak.

we need a "shock" bowler in the mould of Steyn or Johnson who can take 3 quick wickets and change a match. sadly The Mahdi (Munna) is the only one bowling in a decent way these days.

my picks are Aus, SA or Pak to take home the cup.

nachiket · Post by **nachiket** » 27 Feb 2011 08:04

You echo my fears GD. It looks like our bowling is going to be our downfall this time. Their performance against BD really scared me. As for our batting they'll have their first real test today, especially since its been raining in Bengaluru. It won't be a docile pitch like Mirpur, that's for sure.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 27 Feb 2011 08:09

>> my picks are Aus, SA or Pak to take home the cup.

add SL if they can get their heads out of their musharrafs and select a proper team.

I don't see a chance for us frankly.

The inglees have loudly promised 'chin music' claiming to have figured out how to produce short pitched chin level beamers on desi pitches.

TI's total bewilderment in the face of such bowling in Caribbean pitches previously exposed more than we'd care to tell ourselves, for sure.
