Group F (Super 8) - Sri Lanka, Australia, India, West Indies

I don't want to have any last word what so ever. If the guy keeps on talking rubbish i won't tolerate. I know this guy from other cricket forums such as PLANET CRICKET and INDIANCRICKETFANS.COM

And only thing he writes on those forum is anti-Sachin. He made a list of most over-rated players on other forums and made Tendulkar captain of it. I know this guy better than you.
Thanks

Then accept the warning and move on.

I'll bring this thread back on topic by sticking my neck out.




India will not lose to the West Indies tonight. Just think there's enough quality in there to get over the line and keep themselves alive.


And like a douchebag, I will be putting money on it if I can get odds of $1.8 or better.

How about a Gayle storm coming India's way?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Could be a cracker. Backing India but if Roach and Taylor are on their games and the wicket plays like it did on Friday it could be interesting.

Rain. Rain . Delay by an hour

 

[Jono]

Pitch is wet. Can't be bouncy then

 

[BoyBrumby]

Jeez. We're getting Glos v Essex in the Pro40 up here during the delay.

Pretty bloody turgid stuff after the T20; Essex 33/2 off ten. Ball seaming miles.

This is stupid scheduling!

Why are the West Indies playing the first match of the double-header? This is the Caribbean, and most fans there would be interested in seeing this match. So, common sense dictates that this match should be second....

India won toss and will field

 

[Arjun]

And India keep the same XI. And they refuse to learn.

Lord that was awful from the West Indies from start to finish. Awful fielding, awful bowling from everyone apart from Roach and a non-sensical batting order meant that we were simply never in it. Seriously, having Fletcher and Bravo, who love pace bowling, behind Sarwan who loves spin bowling, is ridiculous in this format and Pollard cannot be expected to produce miracles at the end of every innings whenh facing bowlers of that class. Fletchers keeping cost us a good 30 runs or so. It's really annoying, why can't somebody just do his job behind the stumps and punish Ramdin for his slackness? At this rate Ramdin and his average of 20 will be wicket keeper for life!

Also Sri Lanka played unbelievably well IMHO, Malinga was sensational with the ball, the fielding was solid and Sanga and Mahela punished the West Indies for their generousity in the early exchanges. If they play like that they are in with a shout of winning it.

Good to see Fletcher has been replaced by Ramdin for this match....

Its late evening in India...
Whatever keeps India happy is when the games are scheduled.

Watchful stuff from yer Windies. 4/0 from the first two. Good overs from Zaheer and Harbhajan tho, tbf.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lol. & 8 from the first two balls of the third over.

 

[Arjun]

I have to ask- is Harbhajan the right choice for T20? Looking at his overall T20 stats, he's played more matches than he has taken wickets. He's tried to stifle the batsmen as against slice through batting sides. His economy isn't too bad, but the lack of wickets is a huge downside, as a specialist bowler- in contrast to the likes of Mendis, Murali, Tait, Nannes or even Afridi. Mishra's a far better option, as also Ashwin and that bloke Jakati from Goa/CSK.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gayle v Nehra looks a total mismatch. On this surface Gayle can smack straight across the line. Nehra's just bowling naked nuts as far as I can see and no great pace either.

 

[GraemeSmith]

Chanderpaul is playing a test match

 

[Arjun]

I wonder what Dhoni sees in Jadeja that he's trying to protect him so much. Utter rubbish in T20, often a liability, and needs the whole team to play around him. Going by this repeated selection, Dhoni seems more keen on helping him develop, than winning a match. Vinay Kumar should have played- at least he has IPL form on his side.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Chanders playing a crucial innings for India here. Bizarre stuff. Not hitting out or trying to nudge the 1s and 2s.

Can't catch either.
