Apologies and setting the record straight

[Dhoni_fan]

Just admit you got snapped and move on.

It's not as though the biased mod team will infract you!

Infract me for what though?

I made a comment tongue in cheek, which I apolgised for if it caused offence, I do not think I have said anything thereafter to go against what I intially said

Mate at no stage in that chase or in the match did we look like we were going to lose, and it was crucial that we made sure all of our top order got a hit out as moving forward to the later games like the semis and the final we need everyone to had time in the middle.

As I have said against the opponents were were facing we did what we needed to do to get 2 points, and never had to be at our best.

So you weren't nervous at all after Yuvraj ran his mate out?

Annoyed but not nervous, truthfully I never felt nervous at all yesterday, because I knew we had Dhoni and Yusuf and if needed Harbhjan to come at that stage 6 wickets in hand just 100 needed.

Was a bit as I love watching Kohli bat but cant say I was nervous!

 

[Jono]

I was ****ing nervous ftr

 

[vcs]

I was nervous from the moment Sehwag got out. Knew straightaway that it would be a right old scrap.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah definitely looked like an upset was a slim possibility. Another quick wicket following the run out and the result was up in the air

 

[Jono]

Especially if you were watching Rankin second spell to Yuvraj.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

If Yusuf went then yes I would have been a touch concerned, but in yesterday's match I was not!!
but I do give the Irish credit thought it was a very plucky effort from them they battled hard and tried their best with the resources that they had!

just checking, does anyone think I'm a complete dickhead? might want to start a thread like this if so.

Plenty of people need to start one. PEWS in particular for the failed forummers WC.

Clearly it was all part of the plan to get all the top order a turn in the middle so why should he be?

Was such a clinical performance I don't even know why Ireland bothered to turn up.

If I was not nervous, I don't think that is something to be ashamed of! I always felt we had that one covered, as I said if Yusuf got out it would have been a cause for concern but it did not happen, and as Dhoni said, we ensured all of our top order got some time in the middle which is crucial for when we play in his words "more powerful teams than Ireland"

This thread is full of fail eh

 

[Shri]

Ooh, this could get interesting...

Let's be honest here. India has about 1000 X our population. Cricket is their number one sport. Its probably our 6th or 7th. They were at home.


Winning simply by 'turning up' is a pretty accurate prediction if you go by those statsitics. Sad for you guys it wasn't the case however.

That is where you are wrong mate.

We rocked up at the ground played how we needed to play to get 2 points (which was no where near our best) and were able to afford the chance to let our whole middle order get time in the middle that is a huge plus.

So your batsmen deliberately threw their wickets? Are you accusing your own team of spotfixing?

If we'd scored another 50 runs (which was very possible) the game would've been very close imo.

Because that isn't patronising at all
