Group B - Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda

[marc71178]

its good now tht india r ahead of SL in terms of net run rate! Now we just have to wait 4 friday!

Erm, how exactly is 2.507 ahead of 4.860?

 

[Dasa]

Hahaha, you forgot one thing.

IMO Tendulkar choked as usual. He clearly should have broken Afridi's record for the fastest ODI century. He is never there when his team needs him. His S/R was 196. Why not 250?

DROP TENDULKAR!!!

so if india wins against sri lanka what are the chances of bangladesh making it to the super 8?

 

[Sanz]

Oh..So we won against Bermuda, what an achievement by Chappell/Dravid, Time to celebrate.

We really outclassed a super team like Bermuda today, I am so proud of this team. Let's give them the WC now.

come on, leave something for Pakistan as well.

Great win for Indians yesterday beating Bermuda by a record margin,but a hopeless batting unit like Bermuda ended up scoring 156 against India which ain't a good thing.

 

[jeevan]

Not to take anything away from Bangladesh or Bermuda, but..

There does seem to be some swing for the bowlers in the first 10 overs or so at the Trinidad oval, later becoming more and more of a flat track. And in both it's matches so far, India have had the worse end of the bargain.

Not an excuse, any serious contender has to be able to live with and prevail these odds. (Indeed India's own facile warmup win over West Indies may owe a bit to this). Merely pointing out that on Friday, should India get to bowl first - beating SL may be made easier.

DROP TENDULKAR!!!

 

[honestbharani]

That was a drop. Bad bad sportsmanship from the fielder there. You can't claim that catch...you shouldn't do that. Can't they refer this to the third umpire? This is just a minnow, why resort to something like this?

which fielder was it?

 

[Jono]

Agarkar should be replaced for the SL game with someone, whether its Sree or Pathan I have no idea. He's bowling absolute crud.

 

[pup11]

But the problem for India is that Sreesanth or Pathan would toss pies at the Lankans if they get a chance to play.

TBH all the Indian bowlers bowl pies...

 

[Jono]

Munaf most certainly does not bowl pies, and would walk into the SL team.

And maybe Irfan and Sree will bowl their usual ODI crap to SL, but AA's bowling has been very poor lately.

Give him time he'll start to bowl pies, his Indian and a fast bowler, its in their blood.

IMO, Lankan batting is weak compared to Indian batting line-up and Lankan bowling is far better than Indian bowling.

Lankans have a problem with their lower-middle order and Mahela's form (barring his performance against Bermuda).

Indian bowling is really dire atm, can't imagine how a team like Bermuda scored 150 odd against them.

Any game against Bermuda is gonna be a feel good exercise...bash the crap out of them and pretend you've struck some form. Let's face it, India have absolutely no idea whether they got anything out of that game till they face up to Sri Lanka.

that it actually true.....but as indian fans, we have to be optimistic!

 

[silentstriker]

which fielder was it?

I believe it was Uthappa.

Who exactly is saying that? In fact, most on here even said Sehwag should be dropped regardless of how he does against Bermuda.
