Drop shiv and ramdin, let fletcher open with gayle, plus bring on miller...

If India wins against SL, I think Australia will throw the game as revenge for India eliminating them a couple of years ago

 

[andyc]

I doubt it, tbh.

If they did that, they wouldn't be Australia.

Cheering for India here....if India wins there is a possibility of Pak v Ind in the final....

Just plain embarrassing running from Gambhir, beyond pathetic.

 

[GraemeSmith]

Commentators ragging on Gambir big time

 

[AaronK]

^ ya it was painful

i can't stand Ravi and sunil..they are the worst commentator ever..

I like sanjay and Harsha though.

 

[Faisal1985]

Raina is a treat to watch!

 

[GraemeSmith]

That flat track bully Pathan is going to have a blast on this pitch.

West Indies have never beaten the Aussies in 20/20 ?

Ravis the only subcontinental commentator I like, I can't stand Sanjay anymore and always despised Gavaskar and the rest.

Don't think this pitch is too flatter than the Barbados pitch ,IF AT ALL.

This pitch is slower compared to Barbados and less Bouncier but striking the ball cleanly is more difficult here and spinners ought to be more effective.

BOTH PITCHES require different skill sets compared to the other .And just because big fast bowlers cannot continuously bowl bouncers and get away on this pitch ,does not make it easier to bat.
There are many batsmen who would prefer that pitch compared to this and Vice Versa.

 

[Faisal1985]

India to beat SL and ENG to get to the final.

Pakistan to beat Aus to get there....

Please make it happen God!

The only problem with this venue is that the ground is huge, this pitch is MUCH easier compared to the barbados one. Yeah its slow, but anyone cloking over 125k can be dispatched easily, also anything just short of length is very easy to hit.

The ball doesnt spin a great deal either, this is a perfect track for a batting line up of India. They should easily be able to post a huge score here.

 

[Jono]

I want 200 here. No reason why they shouldn't get it. That'd make SL need 181 to knock India out.

 

[Dissector]

I don't think they have shown enough urgency given the number of wickets in hand. 200 may be out of reach and I don't think 180 is going to be good enough given the necessary 20 run margin

 

[Cevno]

This pitch/ground is harder than Barbados to hit sixes and boundaries on it.
Specially agaisnt he slower bowlers.

 

[Jono]

****ing **** from India, slow pitch or not.

What the ****.

I'm very curious why Dhoni came in. If it was because of a right hand/left hand combination, well that is the most overrated reason for changing batting line-ups, especially in T20.

Yuvraj should come in at 4 when we have a platform. Every day of the week.

 

[Cruxdude]

What the hell is wrong with India. I gave them no chance of going to the semis. Then suddenly they are 90/1 in 10 and I am a bit hopeful. Then they **** up and end up near 160. Really getting on my nerves here.
