Group A - India, Bangladesh, Ireland

I am getting totally pissed here. Bth Gambhir and Dhoni are accumulators not what we want now.

 

[ret]

Well if Yuvi, Raina and Yusuf click it will be ok, but why does Dhoni promote himself ahead of more talented players?

will they get enough balls to get in and then get going?

they should sent YP next as he looks to get going from ball 1. if he clicks Ind will get a good total, if not then they still have Raina and Yuvi

there is nothing in the pitch and if dew sets in then Indian bowlers will have a prob [unless BD throws it away]

 

[GIMH]

Well, this is interesting

 

[Cruxdude]

Yeah Dhoni gone!!!

 

[ret]

Dhoni goes .... would have preferred 80/2 after 9 than 112/2 in 15th

England-esque batting.

Yeah, gotta say I agree.

Gambhir's role is fine - his record suggests he's one of the best Twenty20 "achors" in the world. With him still there, though, Dhoni batting three just didn't make any sense.

Personally would've prefered Yusuf Pathan in ..... Yuvraj hasn't been in best of touch lately.

Crap cricket from India... I sense an upset...

 

[Jono]

Okay, no excuse from here. Gotta get 45-50 from the last 5.

Gambhir playing pretty ****ty T20 innings tbh......

 

[Dissector]

See this is what happens. You take it casually in the middle overs and though there are lots of wickets in hand it puts pressure on a new batsman in the last 5-6 overs. If instead Dhoni had gone for it in the middle overs either he would have pulled it off and boosted the run rate or gotten out and given the rest more overs to settle in. Right now India is floundering despite a very good start. Very poor planning here.

Yuvraj in the mood looks like it ..

 

[roseboy64]

3 huge sixes.

[GIMH]

Gambhir gone, thought he was gonna drop that tbh

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bangladesh basically have no bowling left, so these last 3 overs could go for plenty.

 

[roseboy64]

Gambhir out now. Can they make 170 from here?

 

[Cruxdude]

This is what India is wasting here. It is not as if we lack hitters. Dhoni wants to 'protect' them.

Yeah Gambhir out!!!

 

[R_D]

not suprised..... everytime i knock Yuvraj.. he scores.... should do it more often.

Finally Gambhir gone....
