*Official* Match 25 - India v Netherlands

[Turbinator]

You don't want to play Australia in a WC final mate. Better to play them before then I reckon.

As much as that maybe true, it is the event that will give me the most satisfaction; beating Australia in a WC final.

Yeah fair enough. Can understand that. Especially at home too.

On a different note, is it just me or are there a crazy number of injuries ATM, and in the lead up to this WC?

Nothing wrong with talking about them. It's your over confidence that I love, which is why I want you around here for the knock out stages

I will be here don't you worry!

I agree with Turbinator, Australia are the side I would love to face and beat in the final, A to get revenge for 2003.

Also let us not forget not only have they won 3 world cups in a row, they have also been to the final 4 times in a row (lost 1996 final)

Winning the final, and beating Australia in the final therefore would be a very special moment, like an offcial changing of the guard!

Didn't watch the rest of the match - I'm sick alright! - But I guess the plan for the top order to get out and Waterboy to score more runs worked.

FFS Burgey. stop quoting Dhoni Fan. He's on my ignore but its pointless if you quote all his posts.

Could see Joni getting annoyed at his own multi tbh

Asked to assess South Africa, West Indies and India, who they have played against, Borren said: 'I think one big difference was that West Indies had fast bowler Kemar Roach and South Africa had Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel. It is difficult for us to play such pace. Zaheer Khan is a quality bowler, but he does not bowl at that pace. For us it (pace) is a big difference.'

Interesting comments from the Dutch captain.

Not that interesting. They don't face pace regularly if at all so of course guys like Roach and Steyn are going to be more daunting to face.

Whatever be the fragility, India continues to be unbeaten in this tournament.

 

[Spark]

And so...? The only QF opposition they've faced so far is England - and they didn't win.

 

[Turbinator]

Tbh, it would give me the most satisfaction if we face the following teams in the KO stages and win.

Quarters: Pakistan
Semis: Sri Lanka (revenge for 96')
Final: Australia (revenge for 2003)

One more to go!
