34th Match - India v Ireland (10th March)

[Contra]

yesss finally!

 

[Uppercut]

Well that wasn't terrible, but it did promise a lot more.

 

[Jono]

Can't bat 50 overs against this lethal attack

India should have been chasing 30-40 more.

 

[Jono]

In this tournament every commentator has spared time to comment on how the Indian bowling has looked good. Which it has, but I'm not sure if it will last.

You understand that isn't overrating them yeah? That is praising them on what they have done to date, and saying their discipline has been a surprise.

 

[Jono]

Yeah, I am just quietly dreading the day when our attack will get taken to cleaners.

If Australia can get tonked like they did on Sunday, anyone can go the distance.

 

[Jono]

If we lose an early wicket or too I'll be nervous ftr. I've declared war on Gimp and Sledger. Can't lose the next day ffs

 

[Teja.]

Shami one wicket away from top wicket taker of the WC despite missing a game. 12 @ 11 in 4 games.

 

[Daemon]

50 wickets in 5 odis..

We're going to end up with more wickets than we could take in the entire Test series

 

[eroticfishcake]

Shami has unreal numbers in the last 12 months in one dayers

 

[Teja.]

If we lose an early wicket or too I'll be nervous ftr.

Yeah, absolutely. While we're favourites this is definitely a defendable total and a lot of heavy duty **** can go down in KO games like we've seen yesterday. Gotta stay hungry.

Pretty much. Any bowler can go the distance in this tournament. Even when they get it right.

Just got to trust your plans and shrug the shoulders when they don't come off.

 

[smash84]

india's bowling in this tournament has been phenomenal.

I am really surprised that pretty much all bowling attacks have taken a pasting so far except India (and NZ of course)

 

[Flem274*]

damn, but at least they posted something.

this is a ground/pitch where any bits and pieces spin or rank medium slow is insanely effective by Oceania standards. Stirling should bowl ten.

 

[ankitj]

Loved that feature on Dhoni chirping to his team members from being the wicket.

 

[ankitj]

LOL. Gavaskar getting trolled by Ganguly and Wilkins on 36* he made in 75

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah I was quite impressed by India. It's almost taken for granted in this tournament that teams will fall apart in the last 10-15 overs if you set the platform, but India didn't do that at all.

50 wickets? We're already past that.

 

[Contra]

Shami one wicket away from top wicket taker of the WC despite missing a game. 12 @ 11 in 4 games.

So annoyed he missed out in that game because he would have taken a bunch against UAE on a bouncy pitch, tipped him to be the leading wicket taker in the predictions thread.

 

[Contra]

down

Actually not quite
