India v England | WC'11 | Group B | Bangalore | 27/02/11

[hur rizvi]

103 off 91 with power play left

 

[Bhaijaan]

India is losing this

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

"You have to bowl the white thing as well"

Legend. )

) haha

 

[12cavalry]

Shabash Munna

one would think a fast bowler wouldnt like being called a Munna

 

[Sledger]

8 off the over.

 

[JilaWatan]

wow indian bowlers cant even defend 300+ total...sad, very very sad

 

[DW44]

Nasir Hussain ripping into the Indian bowling and the Indian public's blatant disregard of theirs. Just listed about 3 wicket takers from every team and then goes "the Indian public loves their batting but you need decent bowlers too"(or something to that effect).

 

[Digital]

this is bizarre. are we actually this good?

If you guys win today ill send Biriyani all the way from Sri Lanka

 

[hayat]

is that nas hussain in the comm box? he's having a nice time commentating lol

what's the record WC run chase btw?

 

[NJamal]

102 needed of 90 with a Batting PP up the sleeve. I think this game is England's to lose.

 

[pakcricketfan]

"You have to bowl the white thing as well"

Legend. )

)
What a man!

He should be in the commentary box for every match that involves India

 

[Romali_rotti]

OH man If Strauss breaks SRT's 200 here I will be devestated, they can have the win but NOT SRT's record..............

 

[JilaWatan]

and Sunil G must be crying

 

[Munna]

munaf patel .. inka poora naam munaf musa patel hai .. pehli dafa 1983 mein paida hue gujrat mein .. first class cricket 2003 mein khelna shru ki ... :mib:

 

[Fallen King]

I completely forgot Sachin already has scored century in this match. That may explain what might help to decide the consequence for this match.

 

[cricketpassion]

:4 yessssssssss

 

[Express Pace]

444444444444444444444444444444 yesss

 

[Sledger]

Heart in mouth, four.

 

[BaaliSoda]

I m putting myself out of this misery.

Congrats English fans. You guys thoroughly deserves this victory (And we too deserve the spanking)

 

[KingKhanWC]

India's known best bowler on but continues to go for 4.

 

[Suresh Iyer]

Dhoni -- why did you remove Chawla when they were struggling against him?

 

[DW44]

this is bizarre. are we actually this good?

Nope, you're just up against a second rate bowling attack, not a whole lot better than Bangladesh's in fact.

 

[pak-admirer]

indian commentators and pundits and fans neglect their bowling quality

 

[Sam Zaffar]

4444444444444

 

[ads101]

this is bizarre. are we actually this good?

Nah it's just Bell and Strauss

If they click I think only guys like Pietersen, Strauss and Bell in the England team could chase a huge total against a spin heavy attack on a pitch good for spin. If two out of these three hadn't clicked, I'm pretty certain England wouldn't be able to chase this.

Trott's a good player, but even if he'd scored big, I'm not sure if England would have kept up with the run rate.

As I've said before Bell is a very underrated player. He plays to the situation and is an adaptable player. He does play well under pressure in ODIs. He was just out of form recently.

 

[Levity]

Is there place called Cheshire in South Africa? Because Strauss has nine lives.

 

[Digital]

Four Bhajji's turn

 

[NJamal]

shukria mirza sahb

 

[Sledger]

Strauss to score 200?

 

[MC]

Pathetic Indian crowd.

Full house yet no cheer for boundary.

 

[JilaWatan]

hahaha everything going indians way

 

[shan]

Here comes best spinner lololololololololollo

 

[KingKhanWC]

This won't go 50 overs.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Strauss to score 200?

Hope NOT...

 

[samplepiece]

Strauss has done a SYmonds to us!

 

[Express Pace]

Best spinner in the world bowling now

 

[12cavalry]

How long before the Indian crowd starts to leave?

 

[Bhaijaan]

A defeat today for India may prove to be a blessing in disguise before the knock outs.

India quickly need to realize how pathetic their bowling and fielding is

 

[Abdullah22]

Tendulaker scored a century which meand ENglan is going to win.

Is my prediction coming true or what?

Definitely better than that Octopus Paul.

Yeah don't give india a sniff ;Nasser

 

[Romali_rotti]

Nasser Hussain: at the moment India doesnt know what they are doing... Well Yeah lol...

 

[NJamal]

Nasser is really stuck into India

 

[Sledger]

I still remember Nas' "Pakistanis are genetically stronger than Indians" comments. )

 

[MC]

Strauss to score 200?

Yeah that'll be an ultimate tribute to the Indian team.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

The best part of this, is the silence of the indian crowd.

No crowd in the world goes quiet as quickly as the indian crowd

 

[Romali_rotti]

Give SRT a bowl,,,,, maybe he could do some magic

 

[KingKhanWC]

How long before the Indian crowd starts to leave?

and head towards the rupee shop to buy effigy materials.

 

[Fallen King]

^ Let's not just criticize Indian crowds for not being neutral. India might lose today match. Try to understand their feelings, my brothers and sisters from this site (meaning both Muslim and Non Muslim)

 

[ace4rmspace]

Intersting views by Nas on the BPP. Makes sense.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Absolutely luvving Nasser's commentary.

 

[Sledger]

93 needed.

 

[Express Pace]

Nasser on top form

 

[Levity]

2011 business tip: Kleenex stalls outside cricket grounds.

 

[Suresh Iyer]

India were 30 runs short -- early part of Sachin-Gambhir partnership ate up the game

 

[NJamal]

93 from 84 is walk in the park

 

[talha3]

Nas is the best commentator

 

[mohd_mir]

India is losing this

hahaha:ahmed

 

[JilaWatan]

is it just me or someone else is also realizing that Nasser Hussain and Suni G are both now kinda taking sides while commentating.

 

[12cavalry]

I still remember Nas' "Pakistanis are genetically stronger than Indians" comments. )

must have gotten strong reaction

 

[Sledger]

Rare play and miss.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

England aren't this good, India's bowlers however are this bad.

Quote of the tournament

 

[James]

Strauss actually didn't edge that one...for once

 

[hayat]

if england chase this down, will it be the highest run chase in WC history?

 

[12cavalry]

Nasir out of the box

 

[NJamal]

When will we see fire in the stands?

 

[ads101]

Best spinner in the world bowling now

I expect Sidhu after this match to say:

"we really could have done with an Afridi today. A guy who could take wickets on this pitch, keep things economical and provide some valuable low order hitting in the last few overs"

 

[Strike!]

Strauss to score 200.

 

[James]

Strauss top scorer in the tournament, 226 for one dismissal thus far

 

[pak-admirer]

it never cease to amaze me that indian cricket do not address their bowling worries, they just ignore it and think their batting can do everything alone which is possible 6/10, i never hear gavaskar, shastri and sanjay mention their bowling weakness

pak would beat india for sure if they meet

 

[Commander]

There is always a chance England choke, the powerplay can do wonders for the bowling team as well in terms of wicktes falling

 

[Munna]

wow .. is 4th highest run scorer along with in the wc so far

 

[James]

calm down, he still needs another 62, and there are only 92 to get. he'd have to really dominate to get 200.

 

[KingKhanWC]

if england chase this down, will it be the highest run chase in WC history?

Yes

Easy 2 for Bell.

 

[Sledger]

must have gotten strong reaction

Theres a thread on it in Time Pass.. guess which nationalities most repliers hold?

 

[Digital]

T20 match ahead !

 

[No_Username]

Is my prediction coming true or what?

Definitely better than that Octopus Paul.

Yeah don't give india a sniff ;Nasser

Excluding this match this :
Sachin Tendulkar has scored 46 century in one day matches and 33 times India have won.

Which is poor in my opinion, 13 losses.

There will probably be another one added to the tally(loss)

 

[Express Pace]

England are strolling, no chance for India. Should send in Bresnan next to finish things off quicker.

 

[Sledger]

calm down, he still needs another 62, and there are only 92 to get. he'd have to really dominate to get 200.

Yes, very much an outside chance. The thing is, Strauss is hitting boundaries wheras Bell is mostly dealing in ones.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Strauss to make 200. Sachin won't be happy

 

[Munna]

90 needed from 79 now .......


with 8 wickets in hand
