*Official* Match 25 - India v Netherlands

[Jono]

Haha this is pretty disappointing.

Rat poison is on hand in case we lose.

 

[silentstriker]

The bus surely the favorite now.

Gautham Gambhir's turn to make the long walk back. What's happening India ?

I am telling you man. They have not been taking this match seriously. I am pretty sure that Dhoni will be out soon too.

 

[Jono]

Dhoni Fan this is what you get.

And the rest of us Indian fans are being punished.

FFS

Not impressed with India in this match. Seem to not perform well against minnows. Average performance from bowlers and batsmen threw their wickets away.

It is good that the ICC are discarding the associates from the next world cup. It seems teams like India only up their game against the best and see these as a bit of a joke tbh.

Fair point mate, the minnows dont't really add to to the tournament, this match was won the moment we rocked up at the ground.

Agree with how we approached the innings and sending in Yusuf at 3, need to stay motivated even in a match that is a bit of a formaility, we were trying to win the match in 20 odd overs, in doing so we lost a few poles which created a situation where we were never going to lose but has given our lower order a chance to bat!

I swear to god that every team has better bowling and fielding than Indian team. Maybe our bowlers should try to get wickets early than towards the end.

 

[Kweek]

I think they will, and they should. It just lowers the tempo of the matches in the world cup, would India play like this against Pakistan?? I have watched many world cups and when India play a big match the intensity is there, whether it manifests as nervousness causing batting collapse or anything else, but there is something there.

Here the Indian team is going through the motions.

welcome to the world of sport, sometimes you play opponents who do not have the natural talent you do, but make up with wanting to be there and giving 200%

There is no good reason to kick out associates, the only good reason is money...and if it comes to money making the decisions you know your sport is ill.

You know how much money Zimbabwe gets from the ICC? 10 milion...you know how much The Netherlands get? not even a million.
Now ask yourself what is the ICC doing to spread the game?
1 thing: pumping millions into a country which is just as big as India but has no history with cricket.
Cricket is being played in Holland for over 125 years.

51 runs needed from 25 overs only ones getting punished are the Dutch mate!

He won't be. A little positivity never hurts mate.

 

[Turbinator]

That's so adorable I'm not even going to have a go at you for the song choice.

You know you love the song, don't deny it

 

[IndiaLose]

I don't think I can watch this match now. We have lost 5 big wickets in 25 overs. Netherlands bowling is officially better than ours.

Also, I bet Dhoni will be out with less than 20 for sure.

 

[jeevan]

Sachin and Sehwag hardly looked out of form.

Gambhir is still batting.

Three of those dudes have already scored hundreds in this tournament. This has been a below par performance from India, but let's not read too much into it.

Last 2 matches have been disappointing show from the top order...

What happened to your prediction of India chasing this down in twenty overs ?

[NasserFan207]

Its worth having the associates in just for the comedy value of seeing what is apparantly the strongest line up on the planet struggle against dibbly dobbly cc level pacers.

 

[IndiaLose]

Is it safe to say that India hasn't won any of their matches convincingly yet?? Infact, we have performed pretty poorly against Minnows as well. Other teams have mauled the minnows except England LOL

England and India are competing against each other for overall dissapointing performances.
