[ahanank]

Is there anything Sanjay Manjrekar dislikes about India?

The stone age, probably.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Rahane's style of play is so pleasing on the eyes.

 

[Ikball]

Is there anything Sanjay Manjrekar dislikes about India?

Yes, His wife.

 

[ahanank]

Kohli eager to get that half-century...lol
Rahane being stubborn

 

[Fire Bird]

India racing to the target like a tracer bullet :shastri

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Why are they not availing the Batting PP early?

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Ok, they did now.

 

[battler]

Both will be tough, but I'll go with Aus because the crowd won't be as vocal

You really seem to fear the Indian crowd

Pak-Irish game is not dependent on NRR who ever wins goes through.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Review for LBW against Rahane.

 

[Aman]

You really seem to fear the Indian crowd

That game at the MCG against SA really showed the power of a vocal crowd.

The Indian players fed from it while the SA's were overwhelmed by it.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

242/2 off 35.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Ireland should bowl Dockrell...

No they just chased bad as usual.Like Pak game

Agree, SA must have been overwhelmed. The support for India at MCG was almost unreal... full marks to India for not getting carried away though.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Rrr 0.36

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Good. Don't need to bunk more classes.

 

[desi_launda]

8 wicket win

 

[Electron]

Impressive India.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

5 out of 5. Well done, India. Well played, Ireland... tough luck today.

 

[ihsri aha]

9 in a row

 

[latecut]

Kohli only 44 from 42 deliveries ? We have superstar batsmen in the tournament who score this total in half the number of deliveries.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Mark Richardson. Averaged 44 as an opener and had like two shots

 

[ahanank]

Virat survived the whole game without cussing...lmao
A new milestone-Sanjay Manjrekar
Well played, India, tbh.

 

[NZcricketfan]

Wrong thread

5 out of 5. Well done, India. Well played, Ireland... tough luck today.

Are you really a school girl from Shimla? :blossom:

 

[ForeverIndian]

India are not going to beat Aus.

Will take an upset of epic proportions for that to happen.

What is so special about Australia ? No team in this WC is unbeatable.

 

[Saurav]

Did anyone understand what Irish captain said?

 

[Swanny]

Damn minnows winning the toss & batting first have kept our bats away from the top scorers charts.

 

[SchoolGirlCricketCaptain]

Are you really a school girl from Shimla? :blossom:

Yes. And captain of the school team too.

 

[Electron]

Damn minnows winning the toss & batting first have kept our bats away from the top scorers charts.

I know a certain bunch of posters who would be rejoicing this fact.

 

[Sherlock]

Well played India. Professionally done.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Haha 500 coming our way

 

[Romali_rotti]

I dont get it how come we havent qualified to the quarters but Bangladesh have ? lol

 

[Saurav]

I dont get it how come we havent qualified to the quarters but Bangladesh have ? lol

We have.so have SA

 

[Donal Cozzie]

First 18 overs were absolutely fantastic from my point of view. Watching Stirlo just stand up and treat the Indian fast bowlers like any associate attack was immensely satisfying. We lost the game by not sending Balbirnie, our best player of spin, out at 4 and sending Niall instead who struggled for about 40 balls before clicking.

Bowling is what it is. Stunned at Young being overlooked yet again. Something has to be going on there.

Least we gave Indias bowlers a bit of a work-out plus there were some decent knocks. Have to somehow try take wickets though, until then it wont matter how well we bat.

 

[Romali_rotti]

We have.so have SA

So we are playing at the MCG?

 

[cricket.mad]

So we are playing at the MCG?

That is not yet decided brother.it depwnds upon where bangladesh end up in group A.if bangladesh end up 4th in group A,we will be playing our qf in MCG.IF BD beat nz and end up 3rd,sl will be placed 4th.then we will play our qf in SCG.

 

[cricket.mad]

The venues for group A qualifiers are fixed.in whatever position they end up,irrespective of that they will be playing their qf's at pre-decided fixed venues..like australia at Adelaide, sl at scg,bangladesh at mcg and nz in some venue in nz

 

[Saurav]

So we are playing at the MCG?

Yes.We have secured top spot now too

Only thing whether its SL or BD

 

[Saurav]

[cricket.mad]

Nope buddy..our match in mcg is still not confirmed.we play at mcg only if Bangladesh comes last in group A..orelse we will play it in Adelaide with srilanka

 

[giri26]

Good win for us...But I was disappointed that Jadeja was not sent in after Dhawan's wicket. We just needed 70 runs and the Irish bowling was not threatening. It would have done Jadeja a world of good, if he had got a 20-30 not out. He is very important for us in the knockout with the bat. Hopefully Dhoni will do that in the game against Zimbabwe.

 

[Saurav]

Nope buddy..our match in mcg is still not confirmed.we play at mcg only if Bangladesh comes last in group A..orelse we will play it in Adelaide with srilanka

So venue will change according to lower placed team?Whats the logic with that?

 

[cricket.mad]

So venue will change according to lower placed team?Whats the logic with that?

Yeah..venues are pre decided based on group A teams,so has to give some certainty to fans to plan travel..irrespective of where they end up in group standings Australia play their qf in Adelaide, nz in auckland,srilanka in sydney and as originally conceived england in mcg.as bangladesh have made to quarterfinals in place of england bangladesh will play their qf in mcg irrespective of their standings in group A.but india can play thier qf in mcg only if bangladesh end up last in their group,which may happen most probably.if BD beat nz in their last group match they will end up 3rd in the group and Sri lanka will be 4th from that group.then inthat case india will play sri lanka in Sydney in qf's.though i doubt it will happen.but possibility is there for it to happen

I get the logic with home teams.But others shouldnt be decided like that.

 

[EliteCynical]

It had to do with ICC Rankings of NZ,AUS, ENG and SL in Group B. Never understood the logic TBH

 

[jaguarjack]

It had to do with ICC Rankings of NZ,AUS, ENG and SL in Group B. Never understood the logic TBH

they clearly explained the logic. Majority of the times, you would expect top tanked teams to go through the next level. Having a fixed schedule for those teams will help the teams and especially fans to plan their schedule well ahead. That's why Top 4 teams in Pool A were always going to play at the same venue regardless of where they ended up in the points table.

 

[jaguarjack]

*top ranked

Ok, then why pool A then? Coz Aus and NZ are in Pool A? So SL and Eng(originally) were automatically benefited from being in same pool as the hosts?

How did SL and England get higher rankings than India & SA?

India isn't top ranked but SL is?

 

[jaguarjack]

India isn't top ranked but SL is?

rankings were considered in only one pool

 

[jaguarjack]

How did SL and England get higher rankings than India & SA?

only Pool A rankings were considered

 

[jaguarjack]

Yep. Hosts always get precedence as per ICC norms. It is nothing new. Same thing happened in 2011 world cup too..

 

[jaguarjack]

here is the full explanation from ICC. http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/fixtures/finals

Explaining the quarter-final venue allocations, ICC General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice, said: “It is customary for the ICC to afford the hosts the opportunity to play knock-out matches at home where possible during an ICC Cricket World Cup.

“It is also usual for the ICC to assign venues to the higher ranked teams on the assumption they will progress through the pool stage. This is done to assist teams and spectators with their planning by giving them greater certainty. On this basis, the ICC has allocated quarter-final venues to the next two highest ranked teams from Pool A.”

 

[OZGOD]

Can someone keep an eye on this guy ? [MENTION=190]OZGOD[/MENTION] ? He is always abusing people, even went on to talk about someone's mom and sister wth ?

He's history.

 

[JaDed]

Yes, His wife.

Sachin too he hates him

 

[Saurav]

only Pool A rankings were considered

Why only Pool A?After hosts,all rankings should be considered
