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

[silentstriker]

If India win this game, they are guaranteed the #1 spot right? India would have 10 points, and SA can't catch up with only one game remaining for them. In that case, it might be interesting re: team selection. Might want to give some of the middle order more batting time. Dunno. I probably wouldn't change anything honestly, but it's a thought.

Yeah it would confirm India as #1. I wouldn't change the team but Jadeja, Rahane and Raina all in solid time in the middle, thought they might get some in this game but our openers have insured they won;t.

 

[Pratters]

I would like some of the bench to get a game but looks unlikely.

 

[Teja.]

Not changing/experimenting for the last game. Let's just continue to be the most dominant side this WC.

 

[Contra]

Just take the batting PP already, Dhawan demolishing Ireland.

 

[Pratters]

Re India's bowling - have liked it so much this tournament. Mohit Sharma has added so much. India is not as lethal as Nz but they are better than most Indian bowling attacks I have seen in ODIs.

 

[Antihippy]

Tim Murtagh. Has averaged around 25 since 2007 at county level.

He does have a very good record.

Man the indian batting line up is just playing with the irish bowlers now though.

 

[Contra]

lame shot, but he got some runs which is important. Kohli time!

 

[silentstriker]

10 wicket win not happening I guess. Want Ireland to at least get a few wickets and get some confidence going into the game with Pakistan...

Poor shot Rohit.

Seeing to many batsman this world cup getting inside edge onto the stumps. Trying to be too clever.

Considering the "par" scores are now so high, you kind of have to play shots like that.

 

[Contra]

So who's MOTM? Ashwin or Dhawan?

 

[Teja.]

VK has been a top performer but hasn't really looked his best in the WC. Bit like Messi in the WC.

Yeah, it does help that other bats pick on their weight, India rely on Kohli a little too much at times.

 

[Contra]

lol Kohli don't get out for a duck, honestly.

Quite clearly he has been/is in test match mode.Or maybe he feels more responsible than before.Wasnt around this time in Dhoni's career that he went from a swashbuckler to the second coming of Dravid ?!

Could be wrong tho,idk.

 

[Contra]

Thompson gets 2 wickets after his terrible first over.

send in Jadeja plz

 

[ankitj]

Should send Jadeja in

new team batting tactics. Admitted as much after his Pakistan innings.

 

[Contra]
