Are you watching, India? Your boys took one hell of a beating

This was such a fun win. Sri Lanka and Mathews are such loveable underdogs. And I always like seeing Rohit Sharma lose. Who do India play next? I fear for them; Lanka may have awaken something in Kohli.

Highlights of Lankans dealing with the Indians during the game for those who missed it I have gone out of my way to put a nice clip together for all of you to enjoy:

It was no doubt a very impressive performance by Sti Lanka against one of the favourites of the tournaments! They really put their stamp on this competition and showed the world that they cannot be counted out.

Best of all - the result from the last two games has thrown the group wide open. Now just hoping that Pakistan can make the most of the position the have gotten/found themselves in In-Shaa-Allah :)

Wow and I thought Pakistani fans were obsessed with India. I would take a trophy win over a win against India any day.

However its interesting to see that for some Indian fans a win over 8th ranked Pakistan is better than winning the trophy.
 
Congrats to my SL friends.

SL played brilliantly and deserved to win. Gunathilaka, Mendis and Perera take a bow.

India, OTOH, have a lot to ponder upon:
1. upping the RR in first 10 and not playing dot balls in last 5 overs
2. Bowling combination. Obviously Shami and Ashwin obviously need to be tried now.
 
be humble guys, India lost in the 49th over after scoring 321. We lost against india without fighting or trying

It is not about us being humble, it is all the hype coming back to bit them...if one of the 'so-called 'Best Attacks' in Indian history cannot defend 321 even in 49 overs and that in England, then laanat hai aisaay attack per!

I hope SA hands them a royal phainty as well, just like this one so their world can come crashing down to reality...we on the other hand are ranked so lowly, it doesn't even matter how far we go since the team is still finding it's feet so far.

No, our most important game was the deciding Test against WI in WI.

The rest you can debate on, because the game for Pakistanis isn't centred around India.

People in Pakistan who follow Test cricket ardently are the minority. PPers are cricket nerds and they do not represent the nation. For the country, the third Test vs the WI was not even 10% as important as the match against India in the Champions Trophy.

Everyone in the country - even with passive interest in cricket - turned up for that match, while half of the country were not even aware that we had a Test series vs the WI.

The only hype was for the retirements of Younis and Misbah, not the series itself. We don't like to admit it, but cricket is centered around India for a lot of people, and that is why the schadenfreude when they lose. While the point that Pakistan cricket is centered around India is certainly up for debate, there is no denying that an ICC tournament match vs India is always the most important one for the country, where the passion for cricket has started to dwindle slowly because of the persistent of mediocrity of the team.

However, nothing unites them more than a Pakistan-India match, even though the result tends to be a foregone conclusion.
 
This thread is pure gold. From the superb thread title to shaz' teletubby gifs it's 5 star all the way. If Pakistan cricket team was of the calibre of their fans we'd blow everyone else away. :97:
 
Against india 2 pakistani bowlers got injured unexpectedly then today 3 srilankan batsmen were struggling with injury. wonder if their supporters back home doing some sort of black magic 🤔

How? They batted well but their bowlers could only manage to get one wicket and SL walked to a huge target with ease. If anything their bowling performance here was worse than what Pakistan produced against them.

Batting was brilliant but bowling was poor, so it was a decent performance overall.

Popularity doesn't always equal importance.

Test Cricket is still the premier format and that's where the pinnacle still is, unless we're talking a World Cup Final. Therefore, the aforementioned Test remains the most significant one thus far during this year.

The fact that Pakistan can still win this tournament in spite of the loss to India highlights the magnitude of the match up.

Most important game in this tournament..

No one is talking about tests here.
 
Whenever India-Pak play in ICC events, which team do they want to win against most other than wining the title itself?

I rest my case here.

I disagree. Ultimately, what the majority of people want and care about is all that matters. We cannot say that the third Test vs the WI was more important than the match vs India when the vast majority of the fans turned up for the latter and not for the former. Sports is nothing without fans, and the majority gets to decide what is more important. Not the minority.

You cannot blame them. Test cricket is an outdated format for them, and in today's fast-paced life, people do not have the time to follow a format where a match lasts for 5 days and you can still end up with no result.
 
Way too much celebrations going on there.save something for Sunday. Protea fire coming!!
 
India batted poorly, Lanka had some luck and also kept their nurves, give Lankans some credit
 
Plus don't forget there was couple of batsman mistakes e.g run outs and one retired out so Sri Lanka effectively delivered a 9 wicket thrashing

Monsee, Monsee, Monsee,

My old pal, you seem to have not learned from your past bitter experiences. I recall last time when Australia won the test match in India you came and made a sly remark only for me to tell you things may go pearshaped for you from here on and sure well did as India ended up winning the test series. Not surprisingly after India beat Australia you were never heard from again. I seriously hope for your sake India loses the next match to SA, as you have been on the receiving end when it came to India a few times now.. :angel:..

It was a shambolic performance by India after all the hype. Bumrah and Pandya got taken to the cleaners by those lovely Lankan boys.
 
Best attack for India ever got owned by street kids (pretty much since they were mostly unknown newbies)...aisi zillat sai to banda kabbadi hi khail lai!

At least Pak team is 8th ranked, what is India's excuse now, they are still looking for a replacement for Paa Jee?

A belter pitch. Bowling can do nothing here. Needed a cushion of more runs. 320 is easily gettable. Batsman lose us this game. In fact SL bowled terribly and yet we could manage only 320.

Bowlers bowled good. SL batsman are extremely talented. We did not score enough for this pitch.

These Street kids were much much better than Pakistani super batsmen!
 
Yes India lost and Sri Lanka played brilliantly, but instead of jumping with joy over India's defeat, I am really worried about Pakistan's match with them.

And don't forget we can be trolled the same way on Monday we are trolling our Padosis.

Let's not kid ourselves. No matter how much India looked like getting at any point in their innings, it was going to end up short. The way Sri Lanka played, we needed 380+ on the board to defend. At some point, you have to put the blame on the bowlers because they posed no threat to the Sri Lankan batsmen at all.

This Indian attack is no where near world class as we are told by some of our Indian friends here. Not one of their pacers is world class article. They are just decent seamers. Spinners are good though.
 
Very happy for Pak fans. Some thing had to buckle. Pak is a good side and the amount of abuse they take from their fans is too much. Hats off to their players for coming up with good performances after loosing to India.
 
Hahaha will love to see India vs Pakistan in the finals and hopefully some news channel can bring both Rashid and Sehwag in their studio for pre match and post match banter..

Bowlers have a better chance of defending totals in India/SC than in England .

We did bowl poorly though , but its just a par total we here defending
 
Losing by 7 wickets with 8 balls to spare is worse than getting shut out for 160 while chasing 328 :))

Feel sorry for some Pak fans who are rejoicing Lankan victory.

All of this over a proven troll like Sehwag.

Considering Saqlain is good friends with Sehwag yet Rashid is almost like family to him it would certainly be interesting viewing at the PTV studios.

Popularity on its own cannot be used to judge importance, if that is so, then there is always a significant silent majority who never make their opinion heard.

India vs Pakistan is not a rivalry that draws fans because of sporting competition but because of jingoism and the want to get one over the other, India vs Pakistan as a concept is above the game and hence whenever matches between the two take place they are always watched significantly by fans. Even when the quality level between the sides is disproportionate.

If the minority wasn't important then there wouldn't be Test Cricket.

Absolutely, in my opinion around 80-85% of those present at these games have never picked up a bat or a ball in their life, the males are there to behave like hooligans and the females are there to take selfies.

Have a look at bowling scoreboard for SL bowlers. Each one of their main bowlers was expensive. Gunaratne and Gunatilaka who obviously are not great bowlers even part timers were only ones who did well. Restricting batsman on that pitch was difficult. Contrast this to our bowling scoreboard. Our bowlers did a good job except for Jadeja. Pandya is a fifth bowler so expecting much from him is your foolishness. The reason we were not able to take wicket was because SL batsman need not play any fancy shots. Score was just above 300 and all they had to do was build innings and later accelerate only a bit to go for win and get job done.They did exactly that. If score was 350+ they had to try more from the beginning itself.

Wrong! Because Sri Lanka were 3 wickets down , with 2 run outs and 1 retired, so they smashed your attack for 300 runs without a wicket taken by the might Indian bowlers

Batting was far from brilliant in my opinion. Very good, yes, but not brilliant. The openers gave India an excellent start (the perfect start even), being at about 138-1 in 25 overs. With wickets in hand, they should've surpassed
320 comfortably with 'finishers' like Yuvraj (9 off 17) and Dhoni playing a good knock but it was rather safe. I expect a 330+ score after their opening partnership, and I'm sure a lot of Indians did too.

Bowling was poor though no doubt. Jadeja probably had the worst bowling performance I've seen this CT.

Yuvraj is not a finisher, he is finished :P , a good score against Pakistani bowling attack doesn't mean anything, Yuvi is 3-5 years past his selling date.

The problem is you're judging the match only looking at the statistics, probably because you weren't following the match closely enough. Sri Lanka's main bowlers were hammered in the death overs hence their numbers are poor. Not saying their main bowlers are particularly good either. Sri Lanka's batsmen were in control of the game throughout the innings. They weren't troubled at all by our bowlers. They never let the run rate get out of control. They chased down 320 with 7 wickets and 8 balls to spare. What would 30 more runs have done? They would've easily made up for it in the middle overs to make the job simpler at the end.
 
Come out come out wherever you are. When the lion sleeps the foxes come out but when he wakes up they are nowhere to be found.
 
A good starting point for Pakistani fans will be to overcome the schadenfreude we experience whenever India loses. It is a product of the Inferiority Complex that we suffer from due to the fact that Indian cricket has left Pakistan cricket in its dust in every aspect.
 
It's best not to get into an argument with OPs of such posts..bcoz most of the times,these kind of things cm bk to bite them!!! So,I hope the OP & the Tom & Jerry Cartoon wala Poster quietly felt uncomfortable in their #Facepalm moment!!!!
