im guessing 260ish

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 17:10

Raina out. we will be luck to make 260 at this rate. Yuvraj is exhausted and fading fast...he will lash a few blows but could get out any moment.

niran · Post by **niran** » 20 Mar 2011 17:18

yuvi is back and still 250 is far away where is that dhoti to shiver in?

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 17:19

So I guess we will meet SL and then out of the WC ...

Bhograj gone

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 17:20

hoping and praying for 30 more runs in 5 overs. i.e. 275.

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 20 Mar 2011 17:20

Gavaskar bravely batted for Yuvraj in the commentary box. MSD did slow things down, Yuvraj's cramps did not help much either. It is all upto Yusuf now. WI bowling is not that impressive.

280 is eminently chaseable on this pitch with our strength (or lack of it) of bowling and fielding.

The other day mother was arguing with father on SRT's 100s; according to her whenever SRT makes a hundred we loose so as per her logic we will win today. Btw her favorite batsman is Kevin O'Brien.

Yususf Pathan out. Once again, we will waste our batting power play

archan · Post by **archan** » 20 Mar 2011 17:26

251/7. I am now rethinking the utility of Pathan.

niran · Post by **niran** » 20 Mar 2011 17:27

Yusuf is walking back as i type this
251 on board

armenon · Post by **armenon** » 20 Mar 2011 17:27

Pathan is gone too. At least he didnt waste balls like Dhoni.

archan · Post by **archan** » 20 Mar 2011 17:28

Ashwin could have been gone first ball. What a poorly judged run.

Indians are clueless against Ravi.

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 17:28

Jiyo Jiyo TI
This WC has Paki written all over it

Forget wasting. Think about playing out the entire 50 overs.

niran · Post by **niran** » 20 Mar 2011 17:29

18 more balls left TI 252/7

negi · Post by **negi** » 20 Mar 2011 17:30

Hope someone pulls off a cameo.

Whether Pakistan or somebody else, it certainly does not have India. It would be a travesty of truth if we make it.

Bhajji bhi gaya

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 17:34

what a miserable team.....seriously!
and that too at home...

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 20 Mar 2011 17:35

So who are we going to blame now?

habal · Post by **habal** » 20 Mar 2011 17:35

these scooping in the air, and hitting airy shots is another way to play a limited innings or limit scoring to a preset target. These fellows are sticking to a plan. MS Tawny came and delayed things down with a definite purpose. Integrity & character is something that has flown out of the window as far as Tawny is concerned.

this team doesn't deserve our support.

anishns · Post by **anishns** » 20 Mar 2011 17:36

Gavaskar and Shastri

Both are major panvati....

archan · Post by **archan** » 20 Mar 2011 17:36

wow they reached 260 with TWO overs remaining? I can go to sleep again a satisfied man.

SSridhar · Post by **SSridhar** » 20 Mar 2011 17:36

Our hope lies in Pollard not being able to bat. But, the worry is simple dislocation is easy to set right.

praksam · Post by **praksam** » 20 Mar 2011 17:37

lets go TI. WE are with you only,sigh

niran · Post by **niran** » 20 Mar 2011 17:37

keep the faith gentlemen, firmer the faith bitterer the disappointment, no?

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 20 Mar 2011 17:37

Anish: They say 270 is good score on the pitch.

SSridhar · Post by **SSridhar** » 20 Mar 2011 17:38

Our 'famed' batting lineup is now exposed on our very own home turf. The WI bowling is modest.

i am sorry, but would you please go easy on your conspiracy theories? I mean, people come here without an inkling of a proof whatsoever and then stitch their "theories" around what happens. What if TI scores an unlikely win? you'll come and post, "well it was fixed, but in the other way, TI got paid to win as the satta was on WI winning.."

Making heroes out of Zeroes

Thats the motto of TI

hahahaha

SwamyG well niether yours or mine....TI folds at 268

armenon · Post by **armenon** » 20 Mar 2011 17:41

Game over!! 268 all out.

niran · Post by **niran** » 20 Mar 2011 17:41

it must be a record of some sort not able to bat out full quota of overs.

Having got up early, in spite of SHQ protests, and streaming on a iMac I have the Dell for all browsing and loitering on the internet. So I googled about this panvati.

I again say , Viru for Kaptaan. Replace Dhoni with Dinesh Kartik and Yusuf with Raina.This team is going nowhere ...
Yusuf has failed in 5 out of 6matches. How many more does he deserve?

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 20 Mar 2011 17:46

just proves that without SRT and/or VS scoring big, the rest of the pack cannot even get to 270 forget 300.

+1,000,000,000..........000 onlee. I would not mind using Marten or Shaardula for bowling as well.
