Yeah, he's looked shaky, but I meant you're harsh on Rankin. Probably the fastest associate bowler in the world.
(Definately the fastest bowler in the match.)

Yeah fair enough, he's surprised me here.
10 overs x 8 runs an over = 80 Runs
that's why i said 10 overs left, I have a feeling when dhoni is sure that there isn't going to be any upset he will cut loose.

****'s sake India. Am I asking too much for you to not lose to Ireland at home in a World Cup?

They're going along fine. So long as they don't lose 3 wickets in the next 10 overs they'll have no problems. Run rate not an issue right now.
Don't jinx plz

Yes, I say India will lose. But maybe it will be the opposite. In that case I will feel much happier.Look at your username, a long hard look, then call a jinx in the thread.
It's better to expect worse and then be pleasantly surprised.

Not to take anything away from Ireland, who have performed brilliantly at times, but I don't know about these pitches in this World Cup.
Earlier today I was praising the pitches because the England/South Africa game was so entertaining.
But the more I watch every team bowl extra slow offspin into complete dust-bowls of pitches, the more I realize these pitches are having a leveling effect on the game.
It's like teams are trying to guess how far the ball will spin, and it's a Russian Roulette kind of luck where the team that wins seems to be the side that just missed the ball, rather than nicked the ball.
Maybe I'm wrong. After all, playing spin is part of the game! Different conditions call for different styles of cricket, and teams are required to play spin well.
But Ireland don't have a world class bowling attack, and their off-spinners are beating the outside edge of the Indian batsman!
The games are having more of a feel like, "well let's just bowl the ball down the pitch, and the pitch will take care of the rest." We've all seen games that have been called off because the pitch is poor and teams can't score off them. These pitches aren't remotely that bad. But surely there's a line where pitches are so poor that they become more of a leveling influence on the game, rather than a surface that allows the better team to express their talents and win.

You're right, that's my bad. No idea where I got the idea that Indian fans are arrogant.
I also think we'll bowl first for a change and chase a target below 50.
EDIT: I actually want India to bowl first in order to get a bit of chasing practice in.
