This is Paks to lose. Irfan will bounce India out.

The best feeling in the world will be if Pak win the game and as a result of it India get kicked out. I would love to visit Indian Cricket Fans if that happens.

I'm willing to put up my avatar for this. Any Indian brave enough for the challenge?
Pak wins, I control your avatar for 6 months. India wins, you control mine for 6 months.

They need to be really manage Irfan's workload. He definitely doesn't need to play all games leading up to WC. Should only be played in one ODI in NZ and one of the warm up games.
I am looking forward to Ehsan Adil. I love the kid since first time I saw him U19 WC about 3 years ago.

Dw we'll teach you all the hindi/urdu you will need to know.
Give each other the Rohit Sharma pic since none of the Indian fans want him.

It's the opening game for both sides. It won't be the game that knocks out either side any more than any other subsequent loss in the group stage.
This is probably the Ind-Pak game with the least riding on it in WC history.

Never felt more confident of facing Pakistan in a World Cup, the golf between our ODI sides in terms of ability that I do not see how we can lose to them, upsets can happen, Pakistan lost to Ireland in 2007 and we lost to Bangladesh on the same day but it's the first game so I think we willow ready.
Both teams will make the quarter finals anyway the question for Pakistan is will they finish 3rd or 4th in their group, their match against the West Indies will go a long way towards determining this.

Am I the only one who genuinely thinks that they rig some of these games/matchups? Like honestly, an India-Pak game in a world tournament gets more eyeballs and fans in the stadium than most, ICC would always do anything to insure that these teams play at least one game with each other.
He should play both games. If he can't maintain top fitness levels, then he shouldn't be in the squad.

I agree he needs to maintain top fitness level but you have to understand that he is NOT 24. His body is a lot different than many others who played competitive cricket since they were 17-18 and are in their 20's. So in order to get the best out of him, one must manage his workload.
I have also noticed that in his 2nd and 3rd bowling spells he seems somewhat stiff, his pace is reduced and his short pitched balls are not as venomous as in his first spell.
That might be due to the fact that he is working with 33 year old body (That too his official age, I would not be surprised if he is 35) and it can not just switch back to ON after his initial spell ends. It might not be a bad idea to get the most out of him by having him bowl all of his overs in his first spell WHILE his body is warm, lose and he has settled into some rhythm. Because once his muscles get into somewhat resting mode (in between his spells) they get stiffer than an average cricketer and he doesn't have same venom in his bowling as he does in first spell.

There are three people and two stray dogs in australia who care about an india-pakistan match up
I think both team has their own problem but whenever pakistan playing vs.india they play with all their energy and try to win to restore pride
All india/pak game known as worldcup FINAL .media somehow create so much publicity of events, but I think **** will bounce back and beat feeble india

What does Australia have anything to do with it? The match being played in Australia doesn't change the fact that
A) The game will be a full house
B) It will probably get the most eyeballs watching when the match occurs
Purely from a revenue point of view India-Pak matches are a must. I was being tongue in cheek when I said the match ups were rigged, but that doesn't change the fact that India-Pak games = money.
