[MenInG]

35 minutes to go to what promised to be YET another epic encounter between the old rivals.

No team news as yet - just rumors that Ghambir may not play.

[Death Magnetic]

Lol, BIG MATCH FEELING.

Nothing beats Mohali for that pre match feeling. I couldn't sleep leading up to that semi. My stomach was hurting so bad.

 

[MRSN]

Will it be televized?

yes

 

[Mobashir]

Any news from the toss?
I hope we bat first as it is a warp up, I want India to chase, just to see how we defend a total against them!

 

[Death Magnetic]

India won the toss and batting. Good.

 

[DonJee]

India have won the toss and have chosen to bat

 

[cricketpassion]

Nothing beats Mohali for that pre match feeling. I couldn't sleep leading up to that semi. My stomach was hurting so bad.

[Strike!]

India chances to win already 80 %.

 

[Asif321]

india batting first .... we r chasing

 

[kingusama92]

Gotta love the intensity of this warm up match. Feels nothing like it.

 

[kingusama92]

I am sorry this is very strong looking batting side. Not very much hopeful.

 

[NoToIpL]

how to watch game outside of US ?

 

[Asif321]

sami is playing

 

[Qadeer]

7 years ago if india was batting first i would get excited to see shoaib running into indians but now its YAWNNN

 

[Strike!]

Havent slept all night, All aboard the hype train.

 

[Mobashir]

So both teams playing full strengh.

Bizarre to leave out Razaaq for Sami as he has bowled pretty well and wasn't given a proper hance to bat.

 

[Mobashir]

Havent slept all night, So hyped.

So what will you do when we will play each other in the super 8's? Not sleep for a week before the match? lol

 

[Asif321]

channel ko awaaz hi nhi arahi

 

[QazzarFan]

hopefully weather doesn't intervene.

 

[Mobashir]

Players to watch out : Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag and Gautham Ghambir. I don't see any other idnian form the top 7 hurting us!
So early wickets the key and kukri to provide them!

 

[sarmadsl]

lol we gona lose it

 

[Sunny786]

Finally, I haven't been able to focus on anything today. I was just on cricinfo watching the time for the starting of the match tick down.

Sami in Indians scared of pace. Balaji is in the Indian squad. )

 

[cricketindiafan]

Why only 11 players in both the sides? Like all warm ups, should be 12 a side, 11 bat, 11 bowl.

 

[mosh101]

Lol we're chasing ! Going to be interesting

 

[sarmadsl]

10 minutes to go

 

[DRS]

Which channel is showing this match? Please a quick reply will be appreciated

 

[Death Magnetic]

Sami in Indians scared of pace. Balaji is in the Indian squad. )

Rubbish post.

Sami has been destroyed by all Indian batsmen and I mean all Indian batsmen.

And Balaji has done decently in the past against Pakistan. In fact in SL conditions I would say Balaji will bowl better than Sami.

 

[ecstatic_freak]

where are you guys watching the game

 

[Death Magnetic]

Why only 11 players in both the sides? Like all warm ups, should be 12 a side, 11 bat, 11 bowl.

Simulating real match conditions.

 

[Mobashir]

Actually it's 12 a side!

 

[Sandeep]

Both teams going out with full strength line ups....will be fun!

 

[Maher96]

Sky sports coverage starts

 

[Maher96]

Is it 12 a side. Any chance of rain??

 

[supersix]

Empty stands!!!

 

[Death Magnetic]

OK guys off to see the match on TV. Will be back in the innings break.

 

[talha3]

[Moh@n]

BCCI conspiracy?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Karaara shot by Gambhir... :4

 

[Asif321]

boring atmosphere ...

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Ahhh i was wondering where all the traffic was going in the other thread !!!! I don't like empty stadium , they could have let in people for free.

 

[Punk27]

sohail tanvir playing international cricket is a good indicator of fast bowling these days

 

[talha3]

Not bad first over.

 

[waqar goraya]

Something looks unusual!!!Perhaps a T20 game during a shinning sun is not a common phenomenon..

 

[mosh101]

Not bad tanvir ! Lets see gulli now

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

A reasonable over , 6 for the start I would take it but was spraying it all over.

 

[Asif321]

gulla to bowl .......

 

[talha3]

Gul against Sehwag...ooo the memories.

 

[Punk27]

sehwag should be owned with short pitch bowling
