[dhump]

Supper duper Brilliant by India all their batsman played the heart out a lot of respect and what a well deserved win here.

Congratulations to Indian fans this is as good as it can be really.

 

[Centurion]

Take that haters!

 

[paulkatich]

Oh boy kohli really is a talent. I never thought he would never do that considering his arrogance.feel bad for malinga his bowling is absolutely murdered.

 

[adnan yasin]

virat kohli showed why he is a great great player ... and better mentally then so called few legends of the game

this hundred is of top rank ... under pressure ..... hats off man

 

[ekpakistani]

well .. I thikn even if SL lose to AUS . they will make it to finals .. due to NRR

 

[Fawad2010]

Now all the thrashing Indian bowlers got will be swept under the carpet.

Bowlers need to get their act together, Aussies won't be so nice...

 

[Amoeba]

Amazing, but this performance has to shock and embarrass the seniors.

 

[Safar55]

unbeleivable.... congratulations to the indians. Kholi is a genuine talent here.

 

[Sherlock]

Brilliant chase. Well done to the excellent talent that is Kohli but the foundations were laid by the top order after decimating Malinga's bowling.

 

[AFG_Brit]

What a great innings by virat kohli.

 

[adnan yasin]

well .. I thikn even if SL lose to AUS . they will make it to finals .. due to NRR

u sure .. after 320+ given in 37 overs ?

india gave 320 in 50 overs

 

[IndianWillow]

well .. I thikn even if SL lose to AUS . they will make it to finals .. due to NRR

No. SL has to win.

 

[masterblaster10]

I love Misbah's tuk tuk..

 

[Sandeep]

;india still tough to qualify...need aus to batter lanka again!

 

[velu]

well .. I thikn even if SL lose to AUS . they will make it to finals .. due to NRR

No..
Qualification is based on head-head record IIRC

 

[Fawad2010]

well .. I thikn even if SL lose to AUS . they will make it to finals .. due to NRR

If SL lose to AUS, India will make it automatically, as India has more wins vs SL now.

Indians will rely on Aussies to beat SL because if SL wins, India is out.

oh....bad for srilanka..i pity..they played great cricket throughout!

 

[ahamedirshad123]

8.75 -India's run-rate in the chase.Only one side has achieved higher R/R in a successful 300+ chase in entire ODI history

 

[Sherlock]

Oh sweet lord, check out Malinga's Bowling figures.

7.4 0 96 1

 

[jazbati]

are you kidding me? Malinga's bowling figures 7.4 overs for 96! Kohli hammered 44(15) to Malinga!

 

[ekpakistani]

u sure .. after 320+ given in 37 overs ?

india gave 320 in 50 overs

yes .. as per points table on cricinfo

SL has NRR of +0.162
India has NRR of -0.593

So unless lose pathetically .. I don't see how India can qualify

 

[shinchan]

what a chase

 

[Safar55]

yes .. as per points table on cricinfo

SL has NRR of +0.162
India has NRR of -0.593

So unless lose pathetically .. I don't see how India can qualify

it goes on head 2 head between the teams first... not net rr

ic . missed that point .. thanks

 

[ahamedirshad123]

India becomes the only 2nd team after SL (324/2 in 37.3 ov v Eng Leeds 2006) to win an ODI while chasing over 300 in less than 40 overs!

 

[Centurion]

Tendulkar's successor has arrived.

 

[QazzarFan]

wow what a match! A glimpse of the batting power of India coming up in the Asia cup?

 

[ahamedirshad123]

Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina added 120 runs in 9.1 overs

 

[Fawad2010]

Tendulkar's successor has arrived.

a bit OTT, no?

 

[Amoeba]

Dhoni's and the boys gonna go shopping! Haha.....are they really bothered?

 

[Centurion]

Watching India's stellar performance today, Australia wouldn't mind losing the next match.

 

[Fawad2010]

Watching India's stellar performance today, Australia wouldn't mind losing the next match.

Yup, because they are scared. Right?

 

[jeetu]

Australia will prefer to face India than SL. I don't see this Indian side beating Aus.

 

[Fawad2010]

Remember the 'final' is a 3 match series.

 

[Fawad2010]

India are not yet in the final. A Sri Lankan win, or a tie, or a wash-out in the final league game will take Sri Lanka ahead of India on points. If Australia win that match, India will go through though they are tied with SL on points. India are 2-1 up on SL on head-to-head now, with one tie.

[Mr Mute]

Dhoni's and the boys gonna go shopping! Haha.....are they really bothered?

I cant believe dhoni said that twice in the presentation ceremony )

 

[wrongun]

Remember the 'final' is a 5 match series.

2 matches. 3rd played if necessary for tiebreaker.

 

[Savak]

The Indians today showed how to go about chasing a target in ODI and T-20 cricket. Something for our team to learn from.

 

[Sherlock]

Too many matches being played. Burnout is gonna be an issue especially as India just played the Tests too.

 

[Sir john]

great win

:3dbiggrin

2 matches. 3rd played if necessary for tiebreaker.

thanks.
