Singha · Post by **Singha** » 27 Feb 2011 19:34

we need 2 wkts - strauss, collingwood.

england have a long tail consisting of around 6 players who can be tied down.

tally ho boys, bandits on 8'o'clock low, affirm you are cleared to engage. repeat cleared to engage.

phalcon to jaguar vein group - EW path to karachi is clear, go silent and skim treetops.

Bell is no pushover . . esp Bell & Collingwood i.e.

SaiK · Post by **SaiK** » 27 Feb 2011 19:36

time to do some precision strike, and then carpet bombing for the tail.

archan · Post by **archan** » 27 Feb 2011 19:42

Imagine what will happen to the 5th bowler.

<Dhoti-shivering on> With this bowling attack, how on earth are we going to win the WC2011 ?????

the same way how your thought first came for winning... majick was all that we had earlier.

James B · Post by **James B** » 27 Feb 2011 20:09

Strauss will not make 100

Even Bell thought he was out

At least we now have an excuse for some poor bowling and fielding; and appealing.

ROFLMAO..now it's sixes now

Manu · Post by **Manu** » 27 Feb 2011 20:30

Andrew Strauss is playing the innings of a lifetime....our bowling/fielding/luck sucks though....

I can't believe 338 is not defendable .....

sunilUpa · Post by **sunilUpa** » 27 Feb 2011 20:31

Bring Munna back!

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 27 Feb 2011 20:33

This is phucking embarrassing.

Dilbu · Post by **Dilbu** » 27 Feb 2011 20:36

India will lose onlee

sunilUpa · Post by **sunilUpa** » 27 Feb 2011 20:36

we never win in Bangalore..all fault of Shiv.

SandeepA · Post by **SandeepA** » 27 Feb 2011 20:40

This is 370 pitch...Yuvi/Dhoni/Sachin wasted too many overs. There have been no maiden overs in the English innings and this cant be just bad bowling.

Gus · Post by **Gus** » 27 Feb 2011 20:40

pathetic..if we can't defend 340, then we might as well just chase each match and if we are put in first, we should just bat and then concede the match.

With the pads and gloves on..

A damn mockery is what this is...Ian Botham will never shut up about this....

But better to lose now then in a crucial match like the QF...

Yes, no wicket keeper, just have a short 3rd man - to protect byes more than 2 runs, and TI gets extra bowler and fielder to save the 4s.

sunilUpa · Post by **sunilUpa** » 27 Feb 2011 20:43

Now that Team India has come back to Earth, hopefully they will do a better job in the next match!

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 27 Feb 2011 20:51

as I said, I had no hopes of defending this target with our attack.

sum · Post by **sum** » 27 Feb 2011 21:02

^^ Indian bowling is getting pwned big time ere..

Hopefully this is the wake up call like in 2003 WC Holland match ( and subsequent vandalizing of cricketers homes etc) which will lead to socks being pulled up and better bowling on display.

Chinmayanand · Post by **Chinmayanand** » 27 Feb 2011 21:03

With this bowling attack, TI won't make it to the semis even.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 27 Feb 2011 21:04

bowling attack??? even local clubs have better one

KJo · Post by **KJo** » 27 Feb 2011 21:06

Wow this game is a goner...

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 27 Feb 2011 21:09

looks like engi will win without even taking the powerplay. too embarrasing

KJo · Post by **KJo** » 27 Feb 2011 21:09

Ayyoo... cuccus... even Pakis will thrash us at this rate.

rvishwak · Post by **rvishwak** » 27 Feb 2011 21:14

looking at the positive side this loss won't really hurt TI chances of QF but should give them an early warnings regarding their weakness in bowling and fielding department

sum · Post by **sum** » 27 Feb 2011 21:14

Switched off the TV and heading off to sleep( couldnt resist BR before sleeping though).
too embarrassing to see TI get thumped with overs to spare after setting 340..

sum · Post by **sum** » 27 Feb 2011 21:17

41.1
Chawla to Bell, no run, dropped by Kohli at slip! Bell sliced hard at the ball and the ball flew fast, but that was a regulation chance. It goes begging, and India are really deflated now

Sigh...

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 27 Feb 2011 21:19

don't worry.....India will win.

SandeepA · Post by **SandeepA** » 27 Feb 2011 21:23
