2015 World Cup Result | India beat West Indies by 4 wickets in a low scoring game

[Bilal7]

If India finish second, they will take on Sri Lanka and basically hop their way into the semi-final.

 

[Electron]

Just woke up and checked the scorecard. I knew the Indians would do something like this to troll Pakistan.

Virat Kohli after scoring one of the worst hundreds in this WC has been throwing it away quite often, which is unlike him and a worry for India. He already has well-documented problems against swing and seam bowling and isn't the best against pace and bounce which means he should really cash in on these WC pitches. The Indian openers have generally been taking care of the swing upfront too so his poor form is all the more puzzling.

Here comes Bilal ®

Kohli scoring runs. Must be a flat track.

Meh......can't be that flat he's gone )

 

[Aman]

Why not?
What are your permutatiions (should they finush 2nd)?

Possible Semi's

SA (QF against Ban/Eng) v Aus (QF against WI/Ire/Pak)
NZ (QF against Ire/WI/Pak) v India (QF against SL)

 

[Sam18696]

Man. India is really trolling Pak here

 

[Bilal7]

Here comes Bilal ®

Lol, funny how he got out just as I logged on. Anyways, looks like you're losing that bet made against Strike Rate.

Drop this loserish attitude bro.

- Don't beg others to improve your runrate.
- Don't assume others to share this cowardly "avoiding a certain team" attitude. We are topping this group, no matter what.

 

[Aman]

Who have India got after this? MSD and Jadeja?

The hell are you talking about? I was trying to comprehend Aman's thinking and you have no reason to show your true colors.

 

[Aman]

My sound is down, but I don't think he hit it.

 

[Aman]

Think it's bat on pad.

 

[Bilal7]

Haha..maybe he will minnow-bash like Amla bai.

What he won't do, is score in difficult batting conditions like Amla. He's probably worse than Rohit Sharma in that regard.

 

[Aman]

India choking, who would have thunk it.

 

[Sandeep]

Who have India got after this? MSD and Jadeja?

Yes.. MSD and Jadeja

 

[Abhilash93]

Where and when did srinath bowl 156 kph ? Maybe in your dreams ! Wahab is 140-145 kph bowler, everyone knows this and i have been watching his speed per ball every match for last few years.

He was the second fastest bowler in 1999 WC after Shoaib Akhtar.

Stop spamming here.

Time for the captain to come in for a change

 

[JibranAnsari]

That wasn't out.

Dammit india.

Win this.

 

[desi_launda]

has lost the plot

 

[Saurav]

Rahane gets worse decision than Umar Akmal one

still some conspiracy theories?

 

[The intelligent Supporter]

india better win this

How would thier loss hurt us? Arent we competing with Ireland only? WI are alsmost already through?

 

[Firebreaker]

That was not out

 

[Saurav]

That wasn't out.

Dammit india.

Win this.

lol

 

[Firebreaker]

WI could be well in danger

 

[Bilal7]

Rahane needs to up his game or he'll get dropped soon. Only so many matches can be given to a guy who averages 30 at a SR under 80.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

india will win this one

 

[Buffet]

Only 6 more to go. GO WI......

 

[Boi]

That was out. Not enough evidence to overturn decision.

Serouously man , stop making up stuff . The only thing well documented is your Amla love .

amazing how you just crawl out at the right time

 

[Bilsher007]

He is deluded. He doesn't realize that just before retirement, Srinath was bowling 140kph outpacing and outbowling both Wasim and Waqar.

Outpacing and out bowling wasim and waqar !!!

You have just entered into insane arena now. No point responding to a joke of a post.

 

[Aman]

Rahane needs to up his game or he'll get dropped soon. Only so many matches can be given to a guy who averages 30 at a SR under 80.

Yet he's still had a much better world cup than Don Shehzad.

 

[desi_launda]

5 wides!

 

[Romali_rotti]

How the heck was Rahane out ??? DRS is a JOKE

 

[bill_123]

Kohli scoring runs. Must be a flat track.

awwww....you even used an amla smiley to make your hero look good.......

 

[TNA]

Raina must be enjoying the short ball barrage

 

[Aman]

WI giving away runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Would have loved to see irfan bowl here..even he didnt get any wickets. A great wicket for cricket.

 

[Bilal7]

We are competing with Windies and Ireland for the third and fourth spots. We could even come second if the Saffers suffer two absolute maulings in their last two games.

Windies can confirm their place in the quarters with a victory here which means their is only one spot left for the taking.

 

[MarkCooper]

what a 24 karat plonker

 

[jusarrived]

Again showing lack of cricketing knowledge if you think Rahane needs to be droped .

its not all about stats

 

[akamaka]

How would thier loss hurt us? Arent we competing with Ireland only? WI are alsmost already through?

it could come down to 6 points for WI, IRL and Pak and it would be better for us if both WI and IRL get hammered as much as possible in their remaining games.

India ko na support karo to wo jeet jata hayn karo to haar jata hayn

Poor **** fans

 

[Bilsher007]

Yess india lose rahane ! As much as i like to see indians battered, bruised and stamped with defeat but this match they must win otherwise MAUKA ADs will lose sequence ! LOL

 

[Arsal_AK]

Rahane's one was the same as Akmal. Both were not out imo.

The only difference is that Rahane was given out onfeild while Umar was not.

 

[Bilal7]

Serouously man , stop making up stuff . The only thing well documented is your Amla love .

Use spell-checker.

Yet he's still had a much better world cup than Don Shehzad.

That is true. He's had a better WC than Ross Taylor too, I think.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is ambrose their bowling coach?

 

[dinakar]

Electron, can you please stop this non sense in this commentary thread? avoid the troll. Or open a thread about Sreenath's bowling and have his trolling and counter trolling there. This is getting annoying.

 

[razabbas]

WI giving away runs

You supporting India or Pakistan ?

 

[Electron]

Bhai Bride ® riding high after that Ireland bashing.

 

[Bilal7]

Again showing lack of cricketing knowledge if you think Rahane needs to be droped .

its not all about stats

No, I'm not. Rahane has been given a lot of chances and despite looking solid, hasn't done much of note. He is your best test batsman but needs to improve in ODIs.

From which university did you earn your Phd in Cricket?

 

[JibranAnsari]

You supporting India or Pakistan ?

India ofcourse.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Yet he's still had a much better world cup than Don Shehzad.

Where did Shehzad come from??

 

[Aman]

Use spell-checker.



That is true. He's had a better WC than Ross Taylor too, I think.

And? Ross Taylor has a better ODI record than both of em.

 

[TNA]

the good old west indian bowling nostalgia here

 

[hamzie]

india getting revenge for 99 yaar

 

[Aman]

Where did Shehzad come from??

Bilal is fanboy of Shehzad.

 

[Bilal7]

Man, I wish Yuvraj was playing this WC. Him and Raina would have been a treat to watch as always.

 

[Bilal7]

Bilal is fanboy of Shehzad.

No, I'm not. Maqsood would be the one you're referring to.

 

[OZGOD]

Indian choking slightly at the WACA

 

[soso_killer]

Possible Semi's

SA (QF against Ban/Eng) v Aus (QF against WI/Ire/Pak)
NZ (QF against Ire/WI/Pak) v India (QF against SL)

Facing India should be a cake walk for you guys since you'll be playing [MENTION=71635]H[/MENTION]ome until the finals.
Its been swinging a lot there for a WC.
India don't have the bowlers to exoploit that nor do they have the batsmen.
A non bowling side would be my choice were possible in the KO's (Sri Lanka, India etc).
What seems to be the problem?

 

[Anchorman]

He is the key for India here to chase this tricky low total i will back Rahane to do it there are many overs left no need to worry.

Yeah, mate. My comment was more of a compliment rather than a criticism.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Come on India. Under a hundred left now.

 

[Bilal7]

And? Ross Taylor has a better ODI record than both of em.

Shehzad has a better ODI record than Rahane.

 

[sandsaims]

India will still win this comffortably.

 

[Sam18696]

India no. Wat r u doing. Plz win.

 

[jusarrived]

No, I'm not. Rahane has been given a lot of chances and despite looking solid, hasn't done much of note. He is your best test batsman but needs to improve in ODIs.

From which university did you earn your Phd in Cricket?

what logic . Hes used as a floater & plays a very difficult role in the team .
Our management knows exactly that . Even Raina avgs just above 35 , but hes one of the best ODI player for us .

you wont get it .

I have a bad feeling about a KO match against India, feel as though they're a side who could knock us out.

I dont undersand? Even if WI win, how will it affect Pakistan? We are competiting with Ireland

 

[RamLakhan]

Regarding Srinath:

Srinath was always a spearhead of Indian Bowling. It is only in a certain period he was attacked by batsmen (Mostly by Australians in the latter part of his career and Srilankans & Pakistans when ODI cricket batting was renowned for the first time) It affected most bowlers in that area (recall Waqar vs. Jadeja, Warne/Mc.Grath vs. Tendulkar in Sharjah as well). The main problem why Srinath was ineffective was because he had too less support from other bowlers in his team (Only a bit from Venkatesh Prasad & Agarkar).

But one should not forget the brighter parts of him. He was so good bowling on docile Indian pitches and sometimes used to outperform the Spinners in the team and won so many matches single handed (As Pakistani you should have real interest in Cricket and keen follow Indian Cricket to recollect his contribution in those home test matches of India where pitches were flat and did not assist both pacers and spinners at times! Opposition bowlers struggled & Indian bowlers relished!) You are asking about ODIs in Sharjah, please watch some Test Series in South Africa (I think he was deadly at least in 3 Test Series there). If India had good batting unit, we could have won some test matches (and series) there. So then, it was the problem with the batting (Don't think that India always had good batsmen & bad bowlers. For a long long time we did not have a solid opening pair in Test matches. Things improved only after Dravid started batting at No.3). He bowled well even in West Indies (when they had stronger team) and England.

The reason for his non-popularity is because the team wasn't winning enough. If the team starts winning more (like its happening today), we will see improved performance (actually statistics) of players. I am sure both Srinath and Kumble would have improved their average & strike rate a few numbers if the team was winning (if they had other bowlers to support and batsmen). That is how Warne, McGrath, Donald, Walsh, Akram, etc, got their statistics better. I agree Srinath and Kumble were not as skilled as Mc.Grath and Warne, but they were definitely true horses & worked hard more than the latter.

 

[jusarrived]

Shehzad has a better ODI record than Rahane.

He will never be half as good as Taylor or potentially Rahane can be .

Even losers like Rohit have better record that Shezad , opeing means little

 

[Bilal7]

you wont get it .

I clearly get it and the fact that he is used as a floater means that he hasn't secured his spot in the team. Raina averages 35 at a SR of 90 and is one of the finishers in the team.

You're clearly making illogical excuses for Rahane's failures.

To you. Keep your silly opinions to yourself.
