*Official* Group A Discussion - Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, India

[Uppercut]

Don't agree, most batsmen would hit them straight to the fielder. Not important though.

 

[Pratters]

yes but he can be the third seamer.. I still think we can try using Mishy or Harbhajan INSIDE the powerplays too. Need to be aggressive to win this now, coz we have lost 3 of our best players already.

It will depend largely on the kind of pitch, which bowler India finally decides to go with. It is a close call IMO.

 

[Pratters]

Love to watch Fergusson bat in ODIs. Such a good ODI player. He will rotate the strike if he can't get the fours and he rotates the strike like the best in the business.

Also, another top notch inning from Ponting although he offered a chance and a half chance (debateable). He gritted it out there when the going was tough. What a great player.

But it is the side I would pick... Because I don't see us beating Pakistan with 3 seamers and a spinner...

Century gone begging...

Ya fair enough. (y) I do see us beating them with 3 seamers, so would go for that option if the pitch has nothing special to offer but obviously a lot of people disagree with me on this and that's perfectly fine.

That was a really sharp stumping by Walton.

Drop him for David Hussey, lol!

Surely you have been saved by faith.

Haha, Miller did the Usain Bolt pose. Fantastic stuff.

 

[inbox24]

Nice milling by Miller.

My predictions are coming true again!

 

[inbox24]

lol!

 

[straw man]

I know it's been said but it can be said again - looks like Australia might struggle against India and Pakistan's spin bowlers.

 

[Pratters]

Three quick wickets!

 

[Johnners]

Meh, will still win this.

If we're in this situation against Pakistan/India, that's when we should start to get worried.

You've got to be joking.

If we were in this hell hole against any first XI we'd get rolled.

 

[Johnners]

Talking about this match/group, not the whole tournament.

Sorry though, I understand you don't quite get optimism.

 

[inbox24]

You don't quite get common sense. Or weight loss, or healthy living.

Might watch this till the end above India-Pakistan if Australia get rolled for below 200.
