Semifinals and Final

We love his aggression.If you cant take it then its your problem.

You wouldn't say the same thing if it was Andre Nel

 

[Punk_Sk8r]

His agression sucks hard.

There's a way to be aggresive in cricket and it's not what he's doing, the top bowlers show their aggression in their bowling and in body language but in a respectable way...

haha lol he is one of my fav(becoz of his aggro).

 

[Will_NA]

Fair enough.

I'm sorry but this whole arguement about aggression is a little hypocritical, both Nel and Sreesanthare punished if they ever step the mark. You cannot take aggression away from bowlers, they don't have many, if any advantages in the modern game.

Simon Jones, Darren Gough,years ago admittedly, were two very aggressive bowlers. Both with their mouths and their actions.

Sreesanth does a bit too much imo, but I'm not complaining as long as he backs it up with wickets.

india have done great. good result for them. one more win against pakistan now.

It would be good if a mod can change the title of this thread to "Twenty20 World Cup 2007 Final - India vs Pakistan"

Should be a nervous game for both sides, but if India can really manage to continue not taking the pressure to their mind, they could come out trumps again. We have seen that Pakistan slipped a bit under pressure in the game against India and took it to a tie. India have been enjoying their cricket in the last few matches and have shown fearlessness. However a World Cup final (whatever format) is sure to bring more butterflies into your stomach, and the team will be tested to the core here. However I have a feeling we might not see a one-sided final this time (unlike 2003 & 2007 50-over World Cups). India should be lucky that its Pakistan instead of Australia, and its the same vice versa.

The team that plays better on the day will win. May India win. Even if we lose, nothing to take away from our performance, It has been simply sensational stuff.

i know j sharma had bowled a good last over but i am not too sure if we should paly him in the next match.

Afridi and Asif and MALIK are the key for the final.. i hope India bat first!!!

A Pakistan - India final is going to be fantastic. Particularly as both sides are playing excellently. They're both really changing sides under their new leaderships. Shoaib Malik has been a masterstroke from the PCB

Same with India. Especially when we have a senior youngster in Yuvraj who was also a deserving candidate for captaincy. It is about selecting the right guy. Well now, we need to select the right coach. Can the BCCI do it? In my opinion, we can let the current manager (Lalchand Rajput) to take up the job of a coach. He is doing well. Pretty passionate guy. Comes out to celebrate with the team and enjoys the success. Not too fussy and technical, just works on enhancing the performance of the boys. Low profile too, and not a big favorite of the media which is important.

MY LP for tomorrow :

Virender SEHWAG
Gautham GHAMBIR
Robin UTHAPPA
YUVRAJ singh
ROHIT Sharma
Dinesh KARTHIK
MS DHONI
Irfan PATHAN
HARBAJAN Singh
SREESANTH
RP SINGH

thats our best line up IMO

 

[AbBh]

We need a 5th bowler, although Joginder Sharma has been going for a lot of runs, part time bowlers might go for more than him. I think India will not change the winning combination.

 

[Cricketman]

Sehwag and yuvraj are good enough IMO.
And i don't think that Pakistn (apart from Afridi) have any HUGE HUGE hitters to get 25+ an over for like2-3 overs straight
