V/S​

 

[Strike!]

Too early.

 

[fight_club]

Too late

 

[Itachi]

Lol haters already here.

On thread, should be an exciting match. I don't think our bowlers can restrict hussy, watson. It'l depend on how much score we make. We need 180+ to have any chance.

 

[Saqs]

Lol at the Aus/Ind thread appearing before the Pak/SA thread.

 

[786pk]

I would go for Aus on the basis that they recently played Pak spin in UAE in good conditions and should not feel too troubled on a pitch that may start spinning in the evening. Also, I see them chasing down anything that Indian batman will score with the likes of this current Indian bowling attack and i don't see India making much against the young Aussie pace attack.

 

[cricket.mad]

aus start as favourites but again its t20

 

[Murakh]

we will wracked the Aussies as we do to the ENG

 

[Itachi]

we will wracked the Aussies as we do to the ENG

england are pussycats wearing lion costumes. Big difference between australia and england.

 

[Saqs]

at wracked.

Amazing.

 

[Murakh]

Who want pizza with kangaroo fry?

 

[khalil1986]

we will wracked the Aussies as we do to the ENG

Come again

 

[shades]

Well whoever wins this game has a good chance of making the semis and whoever loses is almost out of the WC. Whoever winning the Pak/SA will definitely make the semis and the loser will compete with the winner of this match for the other spot
So for India and Aus, its almost a do or die match.

Its important for all teams to get to a winning start, however one Loss doesn't throws anyone out but surely makes equation very difficult for them.

Aus and SA starts as favorites today.

 

[cards fan]

lol. if pitch is going to help spinners, i see both Pakistan and India start as favorites. SA and Aus have big reputation and well balanced teams. but if the pitch helps spinners, it makes up for some of the weakness India and Pakistan have and they become super difficult to beat.

 

[avidlearner]

We are yet to win a WT20 Super 8s game in our last 6 attempts, will we be able to taste that long evading win in Super 8s?

BTW, MSD is said to be inclined towards having 5 bowlers for today's game (probably Zaheer to replace Dinda but rest could be the same eleven that played against England i.e., Viru misses again and Kohli to open innings).

 

[waqar goraya]

Will be excellent if we get 7 hours of cricket with out any rain interruption...

Would be a good decision. Playing Dinda/Balaji is like playing with 10 players.

In place of Sehwag, either add an extra batter in Tiwari or an extra spinner

 

[Runner Up]

Now I will enjoy this game thank you Umar Gul we are proud of you

 

[Runner Up]

India have won the toss and elected to bat first. NO Sehwag

 

[JibranAnsari]

cummins to take 5

 

[mithun_minhas]

Sehwag should play T20 games man.

He is the type of player that can kick the opposition to the curb if he stays for 5 or 6 overs.

Spot On

 

[Animal]

cummins to take 5

For 70 runs. GO INDIA!

 

[mithun_minhas]

I would have dropped Zak and picked in Sehwag.

I would rate Zak's bowling on par with Sehwag's spin in these conditions.

Counting in Viru's prowess with the bat and fielding, it would be an easy decision for me.

Zak has lost it folks. He gives away too many runs and is an extremely poor fielder. I hope he proves me wrong today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India must be favourites, but hope Aussies cause an upset here!

 

[dhump]

My 3 year old daughter loves Indian anthem.

 

[musaarthali]

Easy win coming up....no pressure

[MAJID-SHAH]

Solid start by India - im backing Australia to do the business here!

 

[Runner Up]

20/2 2.3 overs

 

[Smiling Creed]

That's gone...silly run.

 

[musaarthali]

170 will be minimum target

 

[JibranAnsari]

great run out by cummins

 

[shan]

LOL gone, and Indian commie on sucide watch

 

[mithun_minhas]

170 will be minimum target

India might feel the pinch of not selecting an extra batsman today.

 

[Arcturus]

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Sharp footwork there from the bowler - gets the runout and india lose their first wicket

 

[musaarthali]

You dont like it when its other way around? :ahmed

I am a straight forward guy...not interested in your 'other'

by the way this is match thread...u can open a thread in timepass

 

[Arcturus]

Kohli starts with

 

[Badsha]

I haven't been following Indian cricket as of late. Irfan Pathan opens the batting now?

 

[shakil]

Irfan Pathan hasn't been able to middle any of his shots. I think it is a bad move to make him open. He should come low down the other.

 

[mithun_minhas]

I have been following Indian cricket as of late. Irfan Pathan opens the batting now?

Nothing is impossible for a Pathan

 

[musaarthali]

Currently greatest batsman on earth on crease

 

[akamaka]

Lol wat? i just looked at the scorecard and pathan opening? wat happened to sehwag?

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

20/2 2.3 overs

Dude... Which game are you watching??!?!

 

[shan]

Fake Phatan with a

 

[Gone]

visay visay!!!!

 

[Arcturus]

Pathan

 

[cards fan]

Nothing is impossible for a Pathan

fake pathan is better and reliable batsman than real pathan though.

 

[Smiling Creed]

 

[Arcturus]

and now by our pathan

 

[sada90]

[Smiling Creed]

Pathan going bonkers on Watson....

 

[asif9138]

india 42 in 5..good going

 

[avidlearner]

Irfan with some lusty blows in that over.

 

[asif9138]

kholi to take 1

 

[asif9138]

irfan should get meximun in this over

 

[asif9138]

good fielding

 

[sada90]

India`s bowling is pathethic , nothing like Pakistan,
so they need atleast 180 plus runs to have a game against Aussies.

 

[asif9138]

almost had kholi

 

[shan]

You bored man??

Just want to create ICF like atmosphere in this thread lol

 

[Arcturus]

RR chugging along nicely

 

[asif9138]
