4th Match - India v Pakistan

[OverratedSanity]

Don't think either of these teams are looking all that good at the moment. India's mid to lower order choked pretty hard today.

Lower order didn't click, but give Pakistan credit... Riaz and Sohail were awesome.

I thought we were superb overall tbh. The way they didn't lose their heads and constructed the innings by not overattacking in that middle overs powerplay was really impressive. Kohli wasn't in best form but still showed grit and made a big one. Shami was actually good.... Mohit and Ashwin were amazing. Not much to complain about.

Disappointed at the lack of talent in the crowd today. Did Jono scare them away?

 

[halba]

Zim and Ireland won't be able to handle Afridi with the ball. Zimbabwe's form looks good to give them a scare though.

going to be close, either pak or zim last spot. that means either nz and australia get a BYE into the semi...playing either zim/pak and west indies, 2 pathetic teams.

should be on current form

AUS vs ZIM/PAK
NZ Vs WI
SL vs IND
ENG vs SAF

semis
AUS v IND
SAF v NZ

final
AUS v NZ

Ramiz Raja is so cringeworthy.

You'd say that the short wide long hop won't be quite so effective against, well, anyone else.

You know what, **** it, I'm going to proclaim it. Pakistan will beat India. The streak will end. Jono and all the other Indians in the stand will be in tears as Pakistani players celebrate the win.

P.S: I'm not afraid of being quoted for eternity if Pakistan loses. You know why? Because Pakistan will win bitches!

Yup. Pakistan gifting a bunch of wickets with some mindless batting was very disappointing. I think the atmosphere got to the younger blokes.

 

[duffer]

Oh poor Fuse and np10. Forgot about the collateral damage.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Raina was the real MVP.

Promoting him up the order was such a good call.

 

[Contra]

Yeah, no way I'd want Rahane coming in before Raina after 25 overs.

 

[halba]

indias batting looks sound. the bowling will need work against better teams.

india is definitely the tournament dark horse. esp if they get a big score like they did this time. south africa,australia or nz could get upset

these wickets are super flat, take spin very well, and the batting conditions suit indians imo

Yeah. Didn't understand it when it happened, but damn... his knock made the difference.

Misbah looks gutted

Lala's career vs India in World cups:

Batting avg: 14
Bowling avg: 140

Boom Boom bitches.

Gavaskar: I'm thinking that India played like World Champions today.

Hindustan zindabad!!!!!

 

[Bleed_Blue]

Sensational performance, a tactical master stroke from Dhoni to bring back a struggling Yadhav who then got 2 poles. Proud of the team for bringing home the bacon! This really sets us up well to have a great tournament.

Would you like some cheese with whine?

 

[Pratters]

Nice win for India. It is good that players are getting into better nicks.
