India won the toss and elected to field first

 

[Blitz]

India won the toss and elected to bat first

Bowl first

 

[ZenBowman]

We are bowling first, good decision because (a) we need to work on our chasing and (b) this will give us a solid target to reach, and winning/losing will be upto us.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Bowl first

Yeah, I have made correction

 

[asad100101]

what score will Ireland have to put up on board 300+?

 

[ZenBowman]

what score will Ireland have to put up on board 300+?

Sounds about right.

 

[duostyle]

Good decision Dhoni.

Anything Ireland put up, India will back themselves to chase it down.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

what score will Ireland have to put up on board 300+?

In my opinion. 320+ because India has got a Solid Batting line up.

Sehwag, If plays for more that 20+ overs can prove very devastating .

Tendulkar. He will score 100+

Naqli : can do something under pressure.

 

[ZenBowman]

Good decision Dhoni.

Anything Ireland put up, India will back themselves to chase it down.

The more important thing is that if we lose, we will have nobody to blame. We don't want a situation where one magical innings steals the game from our grasp.

 

[pak4life]

Dhoni does not trust his bowlers to defend a total

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Is there a dew factor today?

 

[jattafridi]

Go Ireland atleast fight

 

[Looney]

[Looney]

poor batting so far from Irish

 

[cricketnut]

Go the irish! Come on lads you can do it.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

If zaheer bowls 10 overs consecutively, He may take 10 wickets. 1 in every over

 

[Bhaijaan]

Two quick wickets . I want Ireland to post at least 250, wanna see some Indian batting

 

[IPLFan]

Niall o brien in

 

[cricketnut]

The Irish are playing to there plan, lure them in to think they can win by being all out for 100, then bowl the hell out of them!lol

 

[Bhaijaan]

Zaheer is a quality bowler man. Moving it with so much control and will

 

[IPLFan]

Two quick wickets . I want Ireland to post at least 250, wanna see some Indian batting

I'd rather take a windies style win over BD

 

[Schickelgruber]

Zaheer is a quality bowler man. Moving it with so much control and will

Dude this is IRELAND.

 

[ZenBowman]

Two quick wickets . I want Ireland to post at least 250, wanna see some Indian batting

It is time for the bowlers to win at least one game for us. As low as possible, I want to see a convincing win for once.

 

[nsaviguru]

I am going back to sleep can't believe I stayed awake for this (4 am here), we should have batted first, the Irish are crumbling and their total won't even be competitive. This match is done and dusted.

 

[duostyle]

Dhoni has been watching the other game

 

[IPLFan]

Naqli Pathan to bowl

 

[cricketnut]

Dude this is IRELAND.

Dude this is India, the kings of flat track minnow bashing, give them some credit!

 

[Statsman]

Why Pathan and not Harbhajan/Chawla? Any insights to this anyone?

 

[Looney]

Fast Bowler Yusuf Pathan bowls a maiden

 

[Bhaijaan]

India shoul;d have batted first, its getting boring now :l

 

[IPLFan]

Maiden

 

[Ayyub]

go for ashwin instead of chawla .

 

[Schickelgruber]

Dude this is India, the kings of flat track minnow bashing, give them some credit!

Yeah they could not even beat England and Ireland beat England meaning India is technically worse than Ireland. Maybe that's why Indian fans are so happy when they take wickets in this game.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Good over by Naqli.

Zaheer comes in. Expect a wicket now to fall.

 

[ZenBowman]

I am going back to sleep can't believe I stayed awake for this (4 am here), we should have batted first, the Irish are crumbling and their total won't even be competitive. This match is done and dusted.

Overconfidence.

 

[cricketnut]

India shoul;d have betted first, its getting boring now :l

Agreed, would have been easy money!

 

[IPLFan]

Cool shades dhoni

 

[Schickelgruber]

God I am sick of these Indian commies going on praising India for EVERYTHING they do! Pathan dropped the catch and they did not say a word! This is pathetic! SHUT UP ALREADY!

 

[Looney]

go for ashwin instead of chawla .

Just so even if India don`t win , at least they will have ashwin .















just having some good fun

 

[Schickelgruber]

India shoul;d have batted first, its getting boring now :l
