**Official** Super 8 Group 2 Discussion - Aus, Ind, Pak and SA

[smash84]

yep.....and we don't really have a history of batting without brains too

 

[uvelocity]

nice work

 

[morgieb]

That's a paddlin'!

Suck it India. Warner and Watson, WAG's.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Worried about the match against India. We always lose to them in the tournaments.

 

[uvelocity]

nah pak are in form at the moment

 

[ankitj]

Lol RSA, choked again in a major tournament. Brain dead captaincy by ABCD.

I think the real choke, the comic-tragic one, will come in the last match of super 8 when they will be in a must win situation. Thankfully, that game is against India, so I am banking on that once we go past Pakistan :-)

 

[ankitj]

If SA and India win their next matches, we'll have virtual quarter finals in this group.

 

[Briony]

nah pak are in form at the moment

They looked poor last night, lucky they were playing a worse team though.

 

[Yas]

Don't know why all us pak fans are stressing, all we need is a bit of pepsi:

But on a more serious note... Please don't lose to India Pakistan :-(

 

[Turbinator]

Damn. Won't lie, I'm pretty nervous ahead of tomorrow's game. C'mon India.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yes I'm looking forward to the games tomorrow, both matches will have that little bit of extra spice.

 

[Z-Man]

 

[ankitj]

That familiar feeling before an India Pakistan match...

 

[Daemon]

Pathan better open the bowling today. If he doesn't they may as well pick someone else. Pretty ridiculous how he came on in the 10th over against Aus despite bowling so well against England the other day with the new ball.

 

[Turbinator]

That familiar feeling before an India Pakistan match...

+1

Just hoping that rain doesn't interfere.

 

[Turbinator]

Gambhir, Sehwag, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Tiwary.

That would be my top 7, in that order.

 

[Arjun]

Irfan-Zaheer-Balaji-Dinda-Ashwin should be the bowling attack for this game, and beyond. At least all of them are capable T20 bowlers, unlike Harbhajan and Chawla. Drop Yuvraj for Sehwag, but the Sehwag-Gambhir partnership has been far from convincing, hence this other option.

The Indian squad has at least three T20 misfits.

 

[Shri]

Make Yuvraj Singh open. His running is obv not what it used to be and he hits big. Just instruct him to go for it in the PP with the fielders in. Not a permanent solution but something to consider until he gets his fitness back to an acceptable level.

Gambhir
Singh
Kohli
Dhoni
Raina
Tiwary
Pathan
Ashwin
Singh
Dinda
Balaji

 

[Turbinator]

I'm more comfortable with Yuvraj, Raina, and Kohli sharing the four overs than Dinda bowling them.

 

[AlanJLegend]

Really hoping that Hilfenhaus or McKay come in for Christian tonight.

Nothing against Christian, but we have not yet looked like needing to bat down that far. Having an extra bowler is going to win us games, not having a bit of extra depth at 8.
