'Official' Semi Final 2 - Pakistan v India

[social]

This is such unbelievable stuff from Pakistan

Game should almost have been dead and buried by now and they'll only have themselves to blame if they lose

Ashwin..

should have played chawla also

 

[Contra]

next 3 overs are key. Once we get a slightly newer ball it will be slightly easier to bat. Initially at least

Akmal couldnt catch a cold in winter!
This partnership to continue and we will be looking pretty good

I have a bad feeling that someone is going OUT fast...

 

[biased indian]

We made the mistake of bowling outside his off stump and he kept missing them ad nauseam

Wahab obviously watched that and simply bowled at the stumps

hope you saw the stat when he cam to bat no body score 8033...if he is such a poor batsmen

any way back to game...

 

[Desire]

Good bowling..

 

[duffer]

Need to get around 100-120 more at least. It might be below par but the pressure of a match like this will be insane for a chasing team. Wouldn't surprise to see some loose batting by Pakistan.

good come back over for Gul to be honest will be happy to see him out now his last six overs! wickets in hand the key for us!

Agreed, but if Sachin bats the overs then I think 320 odd might still be on!

Yeah I'd take another 100 runs considering the kind of position we've gotten ourselfs into. Gonna have to bowl well though.

actually we are still in a good position it looks bad because we lost 3 wickets quite quickly but we are still in a position to make around 320!

Wickets are the key thing for now. Sachin and Dhoni will be content to pick up singles and twos and wait for the bad balls, play risk free cricket, but they are being allowed to keep ticking it over as Afridi has the field set pretty defensively (mainly for the slower bowlers). Force Dhoni and Sachin to take a risk and have to go over the top, Afridi imo has been guilty of this on numerous occasions in this tournament. Not saying he is not doing an excellent job, but just needs to squeeze a little more.

320 is a long way away but 280 + will be a very good score

 

[R_D]

Sachin not looking very good today..
Pakistan have bowled very well today... Fielding has been awful today

 

[smash84]

india looking good......those dropped catches will haunt us

 

[_Ed_]

Now a free hit. Really, really not Umar Gul's day.

Edit: Good ball on the free hit, though. No damage done.

Would be very surprised if India made 320 from here, the run rate's is currently very good, but these two will play circumspectly for a while with India being four wickets down. If they get to 300 will have done very well from here. The wickets is the worry, for your prediction to come true, these two will have to bat the majority of the remaining overs.
