They'll go by the NRR in our group stages. Or if they go by points, we lose.

Yes, we are doing good....go slow. Steady. Then accelerate after 40 overs. Preserving wickets is important. Score singles and doubles. No risky shots. Patience is key.

We will win.

fck man out on fulltoss!

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 20:36

unnecessary shot. okay we need two 50-run partnership at the minimum to clinch this deal. play on the ground guys for another 10 overs.

kittoo · Post by **kittoo** » 24 Mar 2011 20:36

If we loose, I will feel bad mostly for Sachin. He has done everything, but his team never did their best.

Mahendra · Post by **Mahendra** » 24 Mar 2011 20:36

The idiot threw it away, it seems tough from now on

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 24 Mar 2011 20:36

you need to score at run a ball or more when the part timers are bowling. if you keep it for the end it won't be easy to accelerate against lee and co.

oh and for f' sake take the batting PP at 34ovs if we have 2 set batsmen.

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 20:36

DJ Hussey to Kohli, OUT, Kohli has thrown it away totally against the run of play, full toss on the stumps, he threw his bat wildly at it, but only found the man at midwicket, David cannot believe it, he is smiling wildly

Such a composed batsman. Nerves getting the better of him?

Sri · Post by **Sri** » 24 Mar 2011 20:39

Exactly. We are surfing smoothly towards a win. In these tracks, the key is to play conservatively, scoring singles and doubles without losing wickets.

Muruga....if we win I will go on a self-imposed vanavas from BRF until the SF. Promise.

If we do not lose a wicket, say by 225, then we will surely win.

Rahul M · Post by **Rahul M** » 24 Mar 2011 20:47

dang ! we can't afford to give 2 run overs to part timers like hussey !

Second that. What happens if that is indeed true?

Sri · Post by **Sri** » 24 Mar 2011 20:55

Did you believe that ??? Gambhir was absolute Paki

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 20:55

my heart was in my mouth for the two run outs Gambhir survived but the third time he just wanted to get out I guess.
Hara kiri, Indian style.
I don't understand, how can you run over half the pitch when your partner is firmly grounded in his crease?

mraghu · Post by **mraghu** » 24 Mar 2011 20:55

Oh Boy, Gambhir gone

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 20:56

I blame Kohli for this debacle. End of Story.

WHy are they committing hara-kiri??

CRamS · Post by **CRamS** » 24 Mar 2011 20:56

Still looks close to me. Kohli must be kickig his musharaff. He could have seen India through. Ponting does the right thing by bringing the pacers on. Both Yuvi and Gambir are more comfortable against spin. Until India reaches 230 odd with sevetral wkts in hand, I say this is anybody's game at this stage. Could be a humdinger.

As I submit this, Gambir run out after 2 lucky breaks. Does India deserve to win after Virat and Gambir throw it away like this? What a shame.

Sri · Post by **Sri** » 24 Mar 2011 20:58

I can't believe this... if Paki player would have done that ... Scotlandyard would be investigating it ...

archan · Post by **archan** » 24 Mar 2011 20:58

Less than a hundred needed, I hope they don't panic any more. Singles and two will do it.

Chinmayanand · Post by **Chinmayanand** » 24 Mar 2011 20:58

Gambhir reminds me of Inzmam. You just have to wait for him to get himself out. Pathetic.

SwamyG · Post by **SwamyG** » 24 Mar 2011 20:59

All these paawar plays, part-time bowlers ityadi makes sense when one does not lose wickets. Anyone remember Mudassar Nazar?

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 24 Mar 2011 21:02

How is the dew scene at Motera now ? Wet ball = hard to grip = no reverse swing.

did someone add fevicol to yuvi's shoes or what ?
