*Official* Asia Cup Thread

At office right now so not getting to watch much.. What happened? One minute they were cruising along, the next they're all out.. :s

Sehwag must have been tossing up some unplayable stuff..

2.5-0-6-4 Sehwag, WAG.

Haha, that's just wrong.

Good to see the regulation ODI team get back to business, batting collapse pending. The pace unit still looks weak though. I reckon we should look to give Dinda a good look in, in this series. However, he really needs to stop overusing the slower ball and bowl at the start, as well as he does at the death.

May be Sehwag's statement was not that politically correct at the time he said it....but clearly Bang far from threatening opposition.

 

[Xuhaib]

Dhoni WAG.

Virender Sehwag will blow away the Pakistani's with a mesmerizing spell of 7/23. I believe new ball duties should now be transferred over to him. If he can open the batting why not the bowling?

 

[G.I.Joe]

Sehwag = Kim Jong Il imo.

 

[Jono]

Raina looking decidedly evil too

 

[Xuhaib]

getting in to India vs Pakistan spirit.

C'mon Shoaib destroy the flat track bully Sehwag.

 

[Xuhaib]

Sachin is so afraid of Shoaib that is why he is quits for Asia cup.

Dambulla will be an acid test for Sehwag, Raina and Dhoni who generally do not enjoy movement off the seam. They are going to use a different pitch, and it will be fresher and will offer movement. 250 will be a good score on typical Dambulla pitch.

As long as Tamim is there, anything can happen. He's the go-to guy for 300+ chases. (heh sounded so weird typing that)

pretty selfish of Murali to be playing this should have followed on Sachin footsteps Randiv would have got good exposure.

I would be surprised if SL play Randiv against India at all. They might play him in the finals otherwise they will save him for the tests.
India has a tendency to fall over against new bowlers recently.

india has faced Randiv before and he is not a mystery bowler that you have to hide him as much as possible.

I am not even a Bangladesh fan but Ashraful innings and dismissal made me boil.
Most incompetent batsmen ever, guy has no skill or a brain.
Every 4 yrs manages to pull a blinder and then reverts back to being garbage.
His shot today deserves an immediate dropping for the next 6 months.

Murali actually wanted to retire before WC. It was SLC that persuaded him to stay on.

 

[Faisal1985]

Butt to score big tomorrow...and unless Amir and Akhtar get it right tomorrow Sehwag and Gambhir will own the Pak fast bowlers...

 

[Migara]

If the pitch is watered, it will be some task for Sehwag to go on his merry ways. Dambulla is known to produce some big seam movement when the pitch has tinge of green
