Indian Oil Cup 2005

[Dhoni]

Great win for India. Lets go India.... bala bala

 

[Ryand]

India needed a tight match like that and they had to win it but still couldnt bowl out the windies after having them six down.We saw what happened when the lankans were six down.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I take back what I said. Yuvi for skipper :happy

 

[icyman]

Honestly being an indian i dont think much of yuvraj
but the knock he played yesterday..was simply AWESOME.
I'd love him for that....but he needs to perform more consistently in the near fututre if he's dreaming of becoming the captain.
I'd say Mohd. Kaif would definatley make a wonderful captain after dravid,sehwag and not to forget ganguly.

 

[kalyan]

Yuvraj - Indian captain ? lol........comeon guys.....

He can't for the next 5 yrs atleast, since he will get a chance only after Dravid and sehwag.

I dont think he is a consistent performer....and i agree with iceman_waugh that Kaif will be a better captain than yuvi.

 

[jeromedascorp]

I dont think we should say anything jus as yet about yuvi and kaif. Just one match doesnt do much. 1 HUGE knock every 3 yrs wont cut it for India. I really do hope that both of them can consistently score 60+.

 

[SaiSrini]

Kaif has pretty much performed this entire series. those small knocks of 24, 30+ and then a knock of 83* so far has made him a consistent performer of this series! Yuvraj has finally found some touch with the bat! now its time for yuvraj to make this count big and he should try to win more matches for india with the bat! if he does, then it would be fantastic for indian cricket! he can do it along with kaif. He, Kaif and Raina are the future of India's batting & fielding unit.

 

[Dhoni]

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. Sri Lanka 24/0 (4.4 overs)
Z. Khan struggling with the new ball; bowling too many wides and a no ball.

 

[Ashish_Nehra]

nehra brought us back man

SL runrate is very high

 

[Dhoni]

Yap! he got 3 wickets so far. He's the wicket taker for India.

 

[Ashish_Nehra]

it is very imp to get sanath

they are at 4.5 an over, if they get nearly 250, we have only 6 batters incl. dhoni

//
25 over 117/3

they can esily get 250 from here

our spiners are bowling badly, kumble was bad selection, giving 6 an over

//
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah he's gone, jayasuriya hehehehe

 

[Dhoni]

Sanath finally gets out on 66, well played Sanath.

 

[kalyan]

I say that they r toying with our bowlers. Simply worst bowling performances by Indian bowlers. Disgusting !! If they get above 250, then its all over. Indian r very bad while chasing.

Hey what are you talking about man, 250? I bet they'll get around 270-80. I don't' think that kind of total is chaseable when Vass, Muralitharan, and Chandana bowl. Pathan bowling horrible; hope he'll do something for India when he comes to bat today.

 

[duffarama]

Hopefully they can post a legitimate amount of runs then.
