This is crap, hardly any batting left. Hopefully Sarwan can see his side through.
 
You can probably excuse Pollard however Captains should be a little more responsible.
plus Pollard probably did what's best for the team anyway. Also required run rate is over 6. So he has to score quick. When Afridi did that shot, required run rate was like 2. No need to even hit a boundary at all
 
Captain still to come in and followed by Russell. These two need to play out Zaheer and forget about scoring for a while.

Well, thats what you think. Many will say Pollard is a better batsman than Afridi. So, if a batter batsman does that, why bash the other one. But then some people live to bash him while others live to applaud him. :afridi :heart:
 
Mark Nicholas, putting Zaheer in the same bracket as Wasim Akram. hahah what a joke.

Pollard did not hit a andhee lappa slog.

it was a proper shot, he just did not go through with it 100%.

:97: :afridi
 
Just need to get the required runs down to under 100. Will be a good mental boost, especially with Russell and Sammy to come. Need to get a 50 out of Sarwan.
 
tut tut, so many people supporting the enemy. Outrageous.

Exactly.
 
loved that pollard wicket ....didn't liked when he taken UV's wkt and that celebration.....lolz only 1 run .....

loud appeal......drink...common India
 
We need to show some character here !

Zaheer alone cant do it, other bowlers and fielders need to step up

why in this world would u drop a world class player like chanderpaul for a world cup match unless hez injured or not in the squad? :facepalm:

and above that is a bigger argument why Sammy is in a team like this?
 
come on it was a poor shot. Afridi himself was sorry/embarrassed by it.

Usually Afridi has licence to hit out. But this was one of the few situations he didn't. And he knew that. Which is why that shot from Afridi was so bad.

Everything else in the match, Afridi pretty much did well.
 
ReqRR is rising quickly now. Let's pray Sarwan can get a good score, they still have the PP too.

Sammy is the kaptaan. Windies honestly have some decent players, if Gayle and Chanderpaul were back in, then like Devon Smith would be dropped.

Also, the switch of Rampaul for Roach was a big win for the Windies, India are pretty good against straight pace (Roach), but pace+swing (Rampaul) is where they have trouble.

Don't what the posters here are up too. I want Windies to win. It's better to meet England then Windies with Gayle and Roach.

With England you at least know what you get and if Windies can beat India why can't they beat Pakistan.

Totally naive thinking!

Exactly. Might as well call the site IndPassion. It's just not right to support India. I want WI to win, whoever Pakistan face in the QFs. :wahab

In the quarters, Gayle will be in for Kirk. I suspect Windies will drop a spinner to accomodate Chanderpaul. Probably Bishoo. They are just trying as many spin options at the moment (as they already pretty much qualified before England match) to see which one they'll go with.

I'll be very surprised if Chanderpaul doesn't play in the quarters.
 
It doesn't matter who we face England or Windies, we will hammer them into the ground in the q/f :afridi

These paddy power adverts are starting to **** me off!
 
What would be your feeling when you want to lose the match and your opponent want to lose too :))) while your opponent is batting.
 
You shouldn't have.

It's just wrong for Pakistanis and Indians to support each others teams. :nehra

I don't want Pakistan to be knocked out before they face us. If India loses, then I will root against Pakistan. But while India is in the tournament, I will support Pakistan, so we can have an epic encounter.
 
brian charles lara!!! :heart:


he deserved a better team...

the best ever batsman for me!
