[pakistanichamp]

Bowled!!

 

[90MPH]

Indian batting is out of this world at the moment.

 

[Cover Drive]

Ahh see Dhoni has come in when his side is not under any sort of pressure

 

[azfar wali]

Indian batting is out of this world at the moment.

The indians pitches are out of the world as well

 

[pakistanichamp]

Dhoni at it again...as always when india is not under pressure he comes one down otherwise, he sends somone like raina or somone else to bat. Although he should have send Gambhir here...

 

[saadjhussain]

this has to be the worst commentary i've ever heard ) ) time to look for a different stream

 

[pakistani]

well played shewag 100 up now get out

 

[saqlain]

A good century by Sehwag. Congratulations.

 

[insaaniyat]

congratulation Sehwag. Now time to go

 

[pakistani]

What A Six By Dhoni

 

[insaaniyat]

Dhoni at it again...as always when india is not under pressure he comes one down otherwise, he sends somone like raina or somone else to bat. Although he should have send Gambhir here...

true, it's the subcontinent mentality.

 

[Asok Chaktra]

The indians pitches are out of the world as well

Give Credit where it is due.. don't criticise the indian pitches.. The current Indian batting line up is best in the business.

and remember Pakistan pitches are even worse..

 

[pakistanichamp]

Four!! By dhoni...india aiming for a big, really big target for lankans here.

 

[insaaniyat]

indian crowd loves that flat track

 

[insaaniyat]

boring match

 

[pakistani]

India aiming for 400+

 

[insaaniyat]

Give Credit where it is due.. don't criticise the indian pitches.. The current Indian batting line up is best in the business.

and remember Pakistan pitches are even worse..

only on indian pitches

 

[insaaniyat]

indian batting lineup is good only on indian pitches period

 

[Zahid87]

indian batting lineup is good only on indian pitches period

Well they battered NZ in NZ which is more then we are managing to do.....

and same sort of pitches as well.....

 

[pakistanichamp]

Yaar sehwag...get OUT!!!

 

[insaaniyat]

Well they battered NZ in NZ which is more then we are managing to do.....

and same sort of pitches as well.....

we are not comparing against us. We are number 6 remember?

 

[insaaniyat]

Man this pitch has nothing. They will bring the whole world here to play so they can maintain their ranking. How pathetic?

 

[Zahid87]

we are not comparing against us. We are number 6 remember?

Right but those pitches arn't Indian pitches, and they still hammered NZ on them.

They have performed everywhere apart from SA.

 

[Zahid87]

Man this pitch has nothing. They will bring the whole worl here to play so they can maintain their ranking. How pathetic?

Its a ODI pitch. This is what ODI pitches are like. Everywhere. Your anti India thing, trying to find any little way in which to have a dig, is a little bit small time and pathetic. Let it go.

 

[insaaniyat]

Sri Lankan must have gotten paid big bucks by BCCI to play like a club cricket team

 

[pakistanichamp]

6 by DHONI PONI

GOOD shot though..

 

[insaaniyat]

Sehwag needs to be out soon. Or say bye to Saeed Anwar's record

 

[insaaniyat]

yaar just chill don't take it to your heart

 

[Cover Drive]

Plus no Murali or Mendis. Doesn't matter if they are in form but they have got experience behind them

 

[insaaniyat]

Plus no Murali or Mendis. Doesn't matter if they are in form but they have got experience behind them

kinda fishy

 

[pakistanichamp]

50 for Captain...

 

[Ryankhan]

Man this pitch has nothing. They will bring the whole world here to play so they can maintain their ranking. How pathetic?

so true. they dont have the guts to make a sporting wicket cuz they know they will be exposed badly. on a slight green top pitch they were outclassed by WI in WI.......so they like to make batting paradise pitches so their players could get somre 100s under their belt, pathetic stuff

 

[the_game]

This is sad to see. Pitches like these are killing cricket.

 

[deadiamthe_one]

seems like shewa can break Saeed anwar's record of 194! lets jinx it!

 

[jusarrived]

lol only sore grapes in this thread

couldn't agree with you more

 

[Khabri420]

India on track to score 500

 

[insaaniyat]

This is sad to see. Pitches like these are killing cricket.

it's not cricket, seriously.

 

[pakistanichamp]

3 wickets coming up in the next over...

 

[pakistanichamp]

Ravi Shastri "500 is gettable"

 

[insaaniyat]

This is sad to see. Pitches like these are killing cricket.

cricket will only be played in india with 1 billion supporting them

 

[Cover Drive]

A wicket or two right now then 400 is not gettable for them

 

[Zahid87]

Ravi Shastri "500 is gettable"

Hes getting carried away....

 

[ali_ed2006]

are they playing against Bermuda or what? I don't blame the pitch, it's a one day game, all the pitches these days are flat for one day matches. But Sri Lanka have really been poor, and theyve run into sehwag in the form of his life.

 

[Cover Drive]

What happened to Kulserka's inswingers?

 

[the_game]

lol only sore grapes in this thread

Nahi yaar jus, you know I like the way Sehwag plays etc., but look at what's going on. This is ridiculous.

 

[insaaniyat]

A wicket or two right now then 400 is not gettable for them

you could score a double hundred on this pathetic pitch

 

[Zahid87]

yaar just chill don't take it to your heart

lol, its not that. Its just your coming across as a very bitter person, like a lot of people in this thread. Sour grapes dont suit anyone.

If they are playing well, they are playing well, no two ways about it.

 

[insaaniyat]

honestly india is ready to kill cricket

 

[insaaniyat]

lol, its not that. Its just your coming across as a very bitter person, like a lot of people in this thread. Sour grapes dont suit anyone.

If they are playing well, they are playing well, no two ways about it.

on a flat track?

 

[coy0607]

just saw the score.............what the hell kind of track is this.......india are going to score 500.

 

[insaaniyat]

sehvag needs to get out soon

 

[volcyz]

It is entertaining to watch Sehwag and co pummell the attacks, something the Pakistan lineup can only dream of once every 10 matches

 

[Zahid87]

on a flat track?

On the same track we would be 100-4 or something.

 

[volcyz]

On the same track we would be 100-4 or something.

This aint a joke.
With players like Butt, Mishah and co.

 

[ace58]

correct me if Im wrong but didn't australia and south africa score 800+ on a pitch that wasn't in india? This thread if filled with some seriours haters.

 

[jusarrived]

Nahi yaar jus, you know I like the way Sehwag plays etc., but look at what's going on. This is ridiculous.

I know what you meant , it was some of the other posters here .

sporting wickets dont happen anywhere . Aus , SA etc all produce very flat wickets , more so for ODI's .while most teams manage 300 on such pitches , our batting capable of scoring a 50-100 more , so its not really our problem .

400+ was chased in SA remember .

 

[Cover Drive]

This is now Sehwag's highest ODI score

Yeah, I'm talking about pitches worldwide. It's a sad state of affairs; bowlers have turned into bowling-machine donkeys.

 

[insaaniyat]

On the same track we would be 100-4 or something.

where did 'we' come from? we are talking about indian pitches

 

[ace58]

where did 'we' come from? we are talking about indian pitches

But statisically new zealand, pakistani and south african ODI pitches have been flatter the past 4 years.

 

[Cover Drive]

Lucky Dhoni..goes for 4

 

[Khabri420]

300-1 ...I don't think every seen a "300-1" in ODIs

 

[Cover Drive]

300 up for Inda

 

[McBoom]

Batting powerplay!! )

 

[Cover Drive]

A bit tough but could have held it

 

[ali_ed2006]

300-1 in 34 overs

LANKA ) ) ) ) )

 

[Zahid87]

lets predict the score...im going for a 'safe' 425.

 

[Cover Drive]

Free hit to Sehwag

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

Viru gone.

 

[Zechariah]

I will try to be as nice and honest as possible.

Sri Lanka is getting raped.

 

[saqlain]

Did anyone notice the average for Dhoni? It is 50. That is one hell of an average for ODIs.
