[Ankit007]

Same batting lineup again? Why so man...

 

[Statsman]

Strangely Indian fans don't seem much interested in LOIs these days. Even the ODI series victory didn't mean much.

 

[Pollack]

Pathetic

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Strangely Indian fans don't seem much interested in LOIs these days. Even the ODI series victory didn't mean much.

Maybe coz of TTF dominated teams. Atleast in my case

 

[Statsman]

What rubbish.

Wth is Manish Pandey doing in a T20 side by the way?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too much cricket with 3 formats and an IPL. It's overkill. ODIs are irrelevant these days.

 

[Statsman]

Maybe coz of TTF dominated teams. Atleast in my case

Yeah. Seems like the case. Been years since I saw a new young batting prospect.

 

[Pollack]

So batting lost you previous game and you have no change in batting lineup.

 

[LastManstanding]

I want India to lose badly tonight.

 

[Pollack]

What rubbish.

Wth is Manish Pandey doing in a T20 side by the way?

Manish pandey has a long way to adjust to t20s. They don't give him chances where he must be given(ODI) more often and suddenly he comes at no5 in a t20 game.That's some thinking management )

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Once upon a time I used to dread at the possibility of Indian defeat. Nowadays , while it is in tact in tests , for LOI i don't have that pressure. Unless some new talent is there ,or Kohli batting or a WC ,I don't like LOI

 

[Pollack]

Raina yuvraj and dhoni should be out . Manish should play higher.

 

[Ankit007]

What rubbish.

Wth is Manish Pandey doing in a T20 side by the way?

Pant deserved a chance here... More than Pandey did...

 

[Statsman]

Manish pandey has a long way to adjust to t20s. They don't give him chances where he must be given(ODI) more often and suddenly he comes at no5 in a t20 game.That's some thinking management )

Bizarre. We have so many IPL hacks to be tested at that slot and we put Pandey who is not a slogger/ big hitter there. How do we expect to win?

Everyone and his dog knows we have been reaching semis in T20 world cups only due to Kohli. Last time he hardly had any support. We need a slogger or two in the middle order to bolster our scores.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Sunil Gavaskars pitch behaviour prediction is as reliable as a Nigerian Lottery Win Mail. He has predicted it to be more drier than WT20 opener against NZ . Can law of averages catch up with Sunny and make it true?

 

[Ankit007]

Kohli has lost 1st odi, test and t20I game of his captaincy... Lol... However after that he doesn't lose much

 

[Pollack]

General rule of thumb . Predict the opposite of what gavaskar thinks of pitch.

 

[Ankit007]

It's a big ground. More than 70m boundaries

 

[Justcrazy]

5 from first over

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms prefer to chase these days

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

India need fresh set of players , commentators and umpires.

 

[joly]

No Pant

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli

 

[Ankit007]

Poor start yet again

 

[Justcrazy]

10-0
2 overs

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Rahul should prove reliability in tests first where India needs him most. Then we can draft him to LOI s

Hahahahahaaa lol mate love your username. ) )


The Real Don.

 

[street cricketer]

I don't even like watching the match after the Nadal defeat.

 

[Justcrazy]

15 from three overs

 

[Ankit007]

and kohli on fire

 

[Justcrazy]

There we go

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli is a special player . can change gears easily.

 

[Justcrazy]

India would look to get at least 200 here

 

[Pollack]

I don't even like watching the match after the Nadal defeat.

I am elated. Die hard roger fan

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Any chance of Gavaskar prediction to be true? Guys??

 

[Justcrazy]

30 after 4 overs

 

[Ankit007]

Kohli is a special player . can change gears easily.

Jinxed him... Thanks

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Hahahahahaaa lol mate love your username. ) )


The Real Don.

True

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli gone, slow ball gets him

 

[Justcrazy]

Jinxed him... Thanks

There is nothing called jinx , in 20 20 you will play more shots , and chances of getting out increases.

 

[Ankit007]

Kohli shouldn't open in next game. Pant should come in

 

[Pollack]

Kohli is a special player . can change gears easily.

You are now allowed to praise only dhoni and raina.

 

[Justcrazy]

Raina in now.

 

[Statsman]

Who would want to see a washed up Dhoni or Yuvi bat at 80 SR?

 

[DRsohail]

dhoni is past..he should give it up now for youngsters..

 

[Justcrazy]

37-1

5 overs.

 

[Pollack]

Who would want to see a washed up Dhoni or Yuvi bat at 80 SR?

Yuvraj can still play at high strike rate. Question is which one turns out today scratchy or fluent.

 

[Pollack]

Lovely shot by rahul !!!!!!!

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Funny thing will be the others getting out trying to get a good score and Dhoni ploughing his way to 100 SR 40 odd and people will praise his "lone fight"

 

[Ankit007]

Rahul is looking good now... I hope he continues

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahul

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Any chances of dew?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey should be opening the innings , he is not sutiable at number 5-6

 

[Sin Nombre]

I have to agree with the commentators here.

Best way for KL to bat is orthodox which means Kohli has to play way too aggressively at the start. Even more with our middle order.

We really need to get Pant or someone else of his ilk at the top and move Kohli back to 3.

 

[Justcrazy]

46-1
6 overs

 

[Pollack]

Any chances of dew?

Dew would be there 100% .

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen Ali into bowling now.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

Dew would be there 100% .

Then why they started the match this late. Why can't they do like last match !!

 

[Justcrazy]

Rahul is set now , should look to bat through here

 

[Justcrazy]

Then why they started the match this late. Why can't they do like last match !!

To get in more crowds .

 

[Pollack]

Then why they started the match this late. Why can't they do like last match !!

No idea.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

To get in more crowds .

It is Sunday

 

[Ankit007]

It's a big ground. Should look to play grounded shots

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

TTF competition chest no 1 : GONE

 

[Pollack]

No turn at all.lol. Experts never fail to fail!!

 

[mz123]

Is Rohit Sharma injured ?

 

[Pollack]

As I say one odd turned a little.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

No turn at all.lol. Experts never fail to fail!!

They are fantastic actors. Next day they will do the same farce without an iota of pride and behave like seasoned veterans.

 

[Sadevdesai]

No way the Indians can win this match ..... the way they are batting !!!

 

[Pollack]

You are being harsh. Most experts all around the world are terribly wrong when it comes to pitch report.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

No way the Indians can win this match ..... the way they are batting !!!

Are u Gavaskar by any chance ? Stating the obvious

 

[Drreddymd]

The old yuvi every one is waiting is back with a bang. 0 of 6 balls in t 20

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

You are being harsh. Most experts all around the world are terribly wrong when it comes to pitch report.

True. But atleast they admit during the aftermath. But these guys NO

 

[Justcrazy]

Yuvi six dots so far

 

[moghul]

First Kohli and now Yograj saved by Indian Umpire, at least umpire is doing his job.

 

[Ankit007]

Yuvi again haunting us...

 

[Justcrazy]

67-2

10 overs

 

[Drreddymd]

I don't even like watching the match after the Nadal defeat.

Still in tears after seeing magical fed comeback win in the final set

 

[street cricketer]

God Yuvraj is so clueless against spin.
