All out , lost by 24 runs. But anyone watching and supporting India should know that they got lucky if Afghans would have held on their catches & avoided all those extras. It would have been a different story. In the end Indian bowlers once again exposed a better batting side wouldn't do silly stuff done by Afghan team. But merely a brave effort they have done themselve proud.
 
Phew! Well played Afghanistan and Dhoni and co better get their act together fast or I'm gonna get really p***ed!
 
Indian bowling is pathetic. I will be surprised if they can even win a single game from now on. Thank god they had Afghans in the first game. Even this match they won because ofAfghanistan's lack of international exposure. India's pathetic campaign will end in super 8's.

How do you know that? What if they had held on to their catches?

That would have meant Dhoni would have had more balls to bat.

Well for me kholi holds the key for india in batting, you just simply can't give him to chances that could even cost a match to good team rest aside Afghanistan.

I dunno if india's bowling was pathetic tbh... you restricted then to 136 which is pretty low for a track like this. Plus spin in india's strength and it was the spin that afghans could'nt play! Imagine if Yuvi and Ashwin didn't bowl as well as they did... all in all they bowled to their potential, but ofc the seamers could've done better, esp. Khan
 
Well played AFG. Have to say India continues to sink deeper deeper. They are setting new standards for pathetic performance. I dont think India will win any more games this WC. Eng is going to absloutely smash us :(
 
Man of the match Kohli. I thought Yuvraj might get it. Ramiz asking virat. Maybe might pass on some tips to junior :)))
 
I think 3 spinners and Pathan is the way to go for India. They wouldn't do worse in my opinion.
 
Indian fans being too critical of the indian team. T20 isnt the format where the best team will almost always win. I think the indian team is stronger than people realize
 
Yuvi saved us today. He is the man. People dont give credit where its due.

He was good today. Decent with the bat and good with the ball. In the Pakistan match he was spearing it in too short. Today he bowled well, similar to the 2011 WC.
 
we r going with 5 spinners anyway :nehra

When some lefty thrashes the other bowlers , then I will see what this people who are writing Zaheer off have to say.

Q. to you

Would you play Harby only for the Aus game ? I remember Kumble only playing vs Pak in 2003 WC.

Can you or any Indian find a reason for selection of Balaji today?
Dinda is also a way better fielder. I have no clue what the captain is thinking with a one dimensional attack.
Dinda is yard quicker (close to 140 kmh), btw.

i wont pick harby..
i dont think darty did anything significant after his epic 2001 series vs australia ..

what do you think about having tiwary as our no.7 ( irfan at 8 ) :13:
he is a very good fielder , decent bat and he was turning the miles ( ll be very good vs non-asian teams )

In place of Sharma? NO. He avg.30 for India which is higher than anyone except Yuvraj. His playing late style is vital against some of the (mystery) spinners or even medium pacers like you saw vs Pak . even Aus have Hogg. Don't promote him in the top 4 except against Pak. (lol), that is all. Premadasa will get slower as well.
Rohit got a vital 50 in SA vs SA when India were 3/33 on a green pitch in a must win game when Yuvraj was injured. shame it is forgotten.
Only Hussey has played Harby well in that lineup of Aussies and he , I might just use Harby.
 
pak and india have the exact same issues in the bowling dept. There arent enough good bowlers to pick from in this tourney. So I dont think it makes a difference whether you play with A,B or C. Results wont be much different

You don't expect Afridi to do better against non-asians? Does the lack of spin in the pitches has anything to do with it?
Afridi bashers say he is always out of form against top teams except SL. not entirely true IMO.
