India v West Indies| Group B | WC'11 | Chennai |20/03/11

[Inswinger]

One thing I've learned in many ears of watching/playing sports is that you shouldn't root to face a certain opponent. Your "preferred" opponent ends up beating you more times than not.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This match is such a farce.

Both teams playing to lose.

Your sentiments reflected on the cricinfo as well

"Thanks Veera. Not sure which team doesn't want to win this match more."

 

[Sledger]

Every Pakistani supporter rooting for India should be banned from watching the QFs. You traitors.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

161/5 in 35

 

[chui_kadoo]

I hope WI choke like this against us

 

[mastermind_quad]

bach gaya

 

[Deewana Mastana]

India gonna win then?!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Cricinfo: Not sure which team doesn't want to win this match more.

It is that type of a game.

 

[ZenBowman]

Difference between Dhoni and Kamran.

Dhoni making an ordinary bowler like Yuvraj look good.
Kamran makes a top bowler like Kaneria look bad.

If Pakistan had a decent keeper and 1-2 solid batsmen they would be dominant right now. Of course, the same can be said about India if they had 1-2 strike bowlers.

Precisely what I've been trying to say in this thread and many others.

It's the one match, where Kamran would probably be chosen over Dhoni if Kamran was Indian

[Munna]

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.

i believe Sammy can really make way for chanderpaul ... as the captain is a useless player

they might as well drop benn perhaps, gayle has been under used as a bowler for no apparent reason

I agree with you

 

[mastermind_quad]

lets get the sammy and that new bowlers(made 49 last match) wkt early ......

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Sarawan playing for a spot in any test side?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That seems

)

 

[mastermind_quad]

run out maybe

 

[IAJ]

Req. RR already over 7. Come and Sammy, a captain's knock is required here! Come on windies!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[chui_kadoo]

run out. Hes gone

 

[Bhaijaan]

Wow Munna, tried your best to mess up the run out

 

[mastermind_quad]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nice way to hit the stumps.

 

[chui_kadoo]

super stuff by these 2 batsmen. What a run out

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Come on West Indies, this is too freaking obvious.

) ) ) )

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[MRSN]

both the teams tried to lose today but West Indies won in losing )

 

[Sledger]

West Indies are throwing this game. [/captain obvious]

 

[ZenBowman]

Gone, Sammy gone....

 

[Inswinger]

Jeez. Does anyone want to win this game?

 

[mastermind_quad]

lolz munaf ..the great fielder ...messed up ...but put down the bails @ right moment

 

[chui_kadoo]

LOL. im in tears. Munaf tried his best to mess that up

 

[Sledger]

Come on WI! I still have faith in you to win.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I don't believe it. This is one heck of a game.

) ) ) )

 

[jattafridi]

this is so funny

run )

yeah I think they just wanted to try out their spin options. They've gone through a lot of different spinners this tournament.

I think they'll stick with Benn, as he's more experienced and offers a bit of a shock factor. There aren't that many 6 foot 7 spinners out there.

 

[sam]

WI should be thrashed out of the competition for playing to lose.

 

[Statsman]

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

35.3


Patel to Sarwan, OUT, Munaf is showing us just how bad bad fielding can get. He somehow still manages to get a run out. That's how bad the running was. Sammy is gone.

)

 

[Riff]

The Windies are pathetic

 

[chui_kadoo]

This is comical stuff

 

[Munna]

One thing I've learned in many ears of watching/playing sports is that you shouldn't root to face a certain opponent. Your "preferred" opponent ends up beating you more times than not.

exactly thats why i want to face england .. might as well end up playing an easier opponent in the semis perhaps (not sure atm though)

and i believe .. we owe england giving them a thrashing

 

[Sledger]

India wetting themselves at the prospect of playing Australia. )

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

What a run out.loool

 

[Bhaijaan]

Someone called freelance_cricketer getting a on the 'Indian team is a liability thread'

You gotta take it when you take a stand
LOVING THE ATTENTION

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

I didn't watch.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Widnies definately throwing this away.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Just short.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Come on WI! I still have faith in you to win.

No hope......if we loss from now ..I'll never support India again

 

[ads101]

Brilliant from the captain )

I guess in the battle of minds between the captains there's no contest. Sammy's making sure West Indies won't win this one.

 

[ZenBowman]

Munaf is the least athletic looking cricketer ever to play as a fast bowler....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

164/6 in 36.

 

[NorthStar]

Every Pakistani supporter rooting for India should be banned from watching the QFs. You traitors.

No one is supporting India ... ppl simply dont like contrived finishes.

 

[Bhaijaan]

WI are down here, India should win this !

 

[ads101]

WI should be thrashed out of the competition for playing to lose.

both are just as bad as each other.

At least by West Indies loosing this is the expected result. If India had played full potential, they would have beaten West Indies, no question.

 

[zhivago]

I am convinced India want to lose the match. But they don't want to make it look obvious. The way Munaf tried to run Sammy out, he did his best to give the struggling runner an extra second.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

India dont want to win this one.lmao.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Sarwan playing a blinder. Strike rate of less than 50 and and getting Sammy run out to add to that

 

[mastermind_quad]

common UV....

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Russel on strike game on.

 

[Sledger]

No one is supporting India ... ppl simply dont like contrived finishes.

You might not be but quite a few are supporting India.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

UV For man of match.

 

[duostyle]

What's going on in this match

 

[KingKhanWC]

Andre will counter attack here.

 

[Sledger]

These WI bats are terrible actors. )

 

[mastermind_quad]

superb feilding

 

[sam]

I so want both teams to be thrashed and dumped out of the WC now.

Such a disgusting attitude exhibited by both.

 

[ads101]

UV For man of match.

he will replaced by Raina for his match winning performance. Dhoni will be angry with him.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[NorthStar]

You might not be but quite a few are supporting India.

Traitors, ban them!

 

[Munna]

doest west indies believe we are easier for them as we might be similar in nature with them?

 

[mastermind_quad]

UV For man of match.

Yes ...the UV and

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Dhoni : oyee, yeh toh out ho jata. Shuker hai

 

[ads101]

) another out.

 

[Sledger]

Oh ffs.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[cricketpassion]

 

[ads101]

straight to fielder. Almost on purpose/purpose.
