[HamzaSaeen]

But in urdu or hindi you can't translate a Warm or Hot match into Garam Match zehan kisi or taraf chala jata hai...

umm....

 

[HamzaSaeen]

We are not Pakistan to lose from here

obviously, only we are capable enough to lose from a perfect position :kami

 

[mithun_minhas]

Herath needs to lay off those donuts

 

[Justcrazy]

Match Status : India need 18 runs in 20 balls

WE have never lost any match if we were in these position

cant remember been seeing cricket for 20 years

infact we use to bowl people out if they were in same position against us

the swinging yorkers of wasim and waqar were enough for us

Australia vs West Indies

Australia at 52/2 in 10 overs while chasing 256.

Warner and Hughes both gone for 0 but Watson seems in good form.

 

[fusebulb]

So all the crap abt IPL fatigue and batsmen in T20 mode have been put to rest by indians ... bring on Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

318 / 5

 

[adarsh_bang]

nope... We'd get to 250 at best

looks like we're getting 334 sandeep ji

 

[Mamoon]

i just hope we don't get pathetic pitches like these in the actual tournament.. what's the point in playing cricket in England if the pitches are gonna be flat?

No point in playing limited overs cricket on bowling friendly pitches. Reserve that for tests. Limited overs cricket is batting orientated.

Nobody wants to see both teams struggling to put 200 on the board.

bring it on... we shall see

practice match cant match the intensity of the real games. fatigue factor isnt because of the physical part of it alone, its majorly the intensity, mental thing.
So lets not get too far ahead of ourselves

seeing the batsmen hitting every ball out of the park on a flat pancake is repetitive and boring. there should be balance between bat and ball in every format, except maybe T20. otherwise it would just be batsmen hitting everything out of the park and nothing different happening in the game, the rules are favouring batsmen enough already I guess. these type of pancakes will not be used in the real tourney, I am sure.

I dont know man, i love watching low scoring. bowler friendly limited over games!

leave them, they will get to know on 15th.

yes...i take back my words... Karthik and Kohli were in top gear!

 

[vandokkum]

Smaller boundaries, limiting bouncers, bigger bats were not enough... the game is too in favor of batsmen so we need flat pitches as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Match Status : India need 9 runs in 12 balls

Cant be sure about that bro. for all we know we might end up seeing pancakes all through the final CT!

 

[WebGuru]

100 for DK

No worries bro and yes, Kohli and Karthik carrying their form. good sign

I am pretty sure ECB is trolling asian teams by giving them pancakes for warmups and they will come up with green tracks in our official matches.

 

[fusebulb]

This is too easy man ... Pak will have to score 400 to have any chance

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

remember asia cup .. but there was no junaid

 

[HamzaSaeen]

yes. India will win on 15th by 100 runs. take my word for it.

 

[Justcrazy]

what a chase by India , Did not expect such a win.

 

[Justcrazy]

I expected Kula to bowl better

I think it's the warm weather which will disappear in the official matches. Pitches were flattish even during India's tour of England in 2011. Something with the new ball but nothing after.

as I have said, the pitch was a total highway with only a bit of turn for the spinners. Kula will bowl much better with overcast conditions and green pitches in the real tourney.

whatever the case is, hopefully we get sporting pitches and even competition between bat and ball.

India won by 5 wkts

Pitches are rarely sporting in bilaterals these days. In ICC tourneys, there is no chance. Even in 2009 CT, Dilshan bashed a SAF attack in their own den.
