***Official*** 2014 Asia Cup

Mishra should be taken off after this over. Save him for the end if there are tailenders slogging. They won't pick his variations.

 

[Daemon]

Ashwin's first ODI 5fer coming up.

Noob doesn't even have a 4-fer.

 

[Shri]

Pitch does turn. Two right handers out there. Take Jadeja off and try Rohit's off spin and see if he takes a wicket. These 2 are unlikely to take risks atm.

 

[Shri]

Hate leg stump lines when offies bowl them.

 

[Daemon]

So Ashwin averages 60 against right handers. What a rubbish bowler.

Half volleys as well.

 

[Jono]

One wicket away here, ****ing get it.

Daemon doesn't have an ODI average. What a rubbish human being.

Go Mishra. But lol @ a bandwagon for him. Remember England 2011 dickwads.

There's always been some Mishra fandom here, myself included. He bowls some filthy pies and no balls when he's out of form but he's a classy operator at full capacity. And he genuinely did look better with the bat than most of the batsmen on that tour. I think it's harsh to call it a bandwagon when we've always rated him, rightly thought he should be cast aside for a while after some shocking performances but are open to the possibility of him delivering on his ability.

I think he may closer to being given another go as India's overseas Test spinner than we realise. Where he has it over Ojha is that he's a capable number eight, which is needed from India's spinner, particularly given the current pace trio and the likely first reserve (Yadav) are rabbits. The venues where he'd have most value - Australia, South Africa and New Zealand - have just passed him by though. England, West Indies and Asia are good places to bowl finger spin.

 

[Shri]

Rahane! Gun stop.

And then that diving throw! Wag!

 

[Shri]

Loving the fielders' intensity atm. WIcket not too far.

 

[Shri]

These two are poor at rotating the strike.

 

[Shri]

One Mishra over in the powerplay or save him for later?

 

[Shri]

RRR finally hits 6 an over. A wicket now and its pretty much India's game(as long as Afridi doesn't fluke a few hits).

 

[Jono]

Feel like Pakistan keeping us in the game here. Bowling isn't anything special since the wicket.

 

[Maximas]

Would be great if Smali's bois Hafeez and Afridi get Pakistan home

 

[Shri]

Feel like Pakistan keeping us in the game here. Bowling isn't anything special since the wicket.

Its the two worst aspects of both teams competing to be slightly better to win. India's bowling vs Pak's batting. A lot down to luck from here on.

 

[Shri]

Sharma's ****ing useless. Should have saved the boundary instead of going for that impossible catch.

 

[Jono]

****ing hell I hate watching us bowl in ODIs. Probably the most I've hated this bowling lineup in ODIs for a long time.

 

[Shri]

Clever bowling from Ash. Kartik 2 stumpings missed in 2 games now. Has become a ****ing awful keeper since he started fielding.
