6th Match: India v Pakistan (Group A)

[Chetan0304]

I think the shocking twist will be that India are going to out from this Tournament

That wont be a shock, what's a shocking twist? Oz defeating Pak by 180 runs () and India winning both matches and qualifying for the semi's

Good win by Pakistan. Brilliant century by Malik. You can blame injuries until you go blue but you are going to have to make do with the players you have here. India were not good enough on the day and it is impossible to tell if they would have won with their full strength, maybe yuvi and viru would both have gotten golden ducks, you don't know.

The last time I saw Tendulkar bowl was in the 3rd test against New Zealand, he had the batsmen in all sorts of trouble. I'm surprised he doesn't bowl at least 3-4 overs a game

 

[p.o.l]

My only one question about this game: Why Sachin (leg break!) didn't bowl when those two batsmen(Yousuf and Malik) were playing?

Dhoni said on interview after the that Sachin tendulkar has a injury on shoulder that's why he did not bowl.

bowling - it's a form! Telling injury and no full side is just a lame/shame excuse. Pakistan was miles better than us, in all aspects(except disciplinary bowling) this time.

Not an excuse. Just told you the fact. Face it. It would be tough for any side to lose 3 of its most influential players and still be the same force. Yuvraj, Zaheer and Sehwag were the most important cogs of the wheel for us.

Even then, our batting still looks a threat and we will have to pull up our socks and first of all get the selection right for tomorrow. Go in with Mishra and get Nayyar in for Yusuf. I`m sure we`ll cause some trouble for Australia if we do that.

Actually both the pace attacks were equally bad yesterday, in fact if anything, India`s seamers were a bit better. Gul, Rana and Aamer all struggled as much as the Indian pacers, even in the discipline part. The difference was the spin bowling. Harbhajan let us down big time and he usually does well against the Aussies, so does Ishant. Still some hope there.

If we play to our potential, we`ll still come out with our heads held high.

Everyone in Pakistan's team are right-handers (except Aamer), then why didn't Dhoni play Amit Mishra?

It's not the shocking twist, but an expected one.

There are still chances to send those Pakistanis home. Their net run-rate is not so high.

lol you should worry about your team going home, not Pakistan. If you lose against Australia, then it's all over. If Pakistan lose, we can still make it.

Look, if India beats Australia, Australia beats Pakistan (By huge margin) and India beats West Indies (By huge Margin). We can send you guys home.

Higher than India and even higher than us.

 

[Akash00]

Higher than India and even higher than us.

Net run-rate is about the overall run-rate in the tournament.

So, if Pakistan loses to Australia by huge margin, then their net run-rate will be very low.

And India have to beat West Indies and Australia by very big difference.

What if you guys lose from West Indies that would be a great shocking twist too.

It's not happening this time. Team India is very relaxed now & the commitment in them is very less than the one during CB series or compaq cup. Gambhir's run out is one classic instance.

I know that...but first you beat Australia and then we will see about the rest of this..
