Videocon Cup

[ZoraxDoom]

Again India shows how successfully they choke in the finals. Some Indians here are too much supportive of their team. How can you be so happy even when your team keeps losing finals? Whats the big deal in getting through a tournament, working hard to get to the finals and then lose when it matters the most?

Yep. Even my friend, who has to be the best and proudest Indian fan there is(hell he is supporting Australia in the ashes because England ruled India at one stage) has joined my "Strip india of ODI status club" at school...

Thats a lot off rubbish talk, and India are not chockers. If they were chockers the final then it would not have been a close econounter which in the Indian-oil and videocon cup final was. Or it would not have been one-sided.

Its goes to show we played better then the rest when we went through to the finals, like in world cup 2003.

A true Indian supperter wouldent back out, even if India does keep losing finals.

So you're wrong my friend.

Dont forget India is still second best since they was runners up in the 2003 world cup so that makes them second, but Indias not playing like 2nd best.

All I can say Indian Never ever gonna win the finals. Cause 90% of Indians Match are Match Fixing and when they come to final. They end up lossing and collect the cash from Big Bookies. Beleive me or not. If you at this link and have a look at it. Indians have come to finals 16 times from 2000 till now. And have won only once and lost 12 times. Atleast have shame on Indians players. 90% of Indians Matches are fixes. Even todays were also fixed.

Sorry friend, I dont know why but I feel sometimes you repeat the same words posted by me with different adjectives!

who said we're happy on India losing finals? whenever India lose a final, we also have all that criticism directed on the team. But we react only when the criticism on the team is too harsh or unfair (which it has been so far!). India have been a poor ODI side in recent times, agreed! But when you compare their game in the past few years and in the new season, the improvement has been there to see. Which we see but which others fail to see due to the team's final hurdle!

The only thing I want to say is.....INDIA SUCKS!!!!

 

[andyptl18]

INDIA should be stripped of their ODI status!!!! i m sorry ZoraxDoom maybe i missed this
tell me again Was it Flintoff bowling in the WC2003 Final?
or was it Balaji?
u guys are just flying high right now cuz Englands got some good mathes in (i give them their deserved credit) but this has to be the topping on the cake to take India's ODI status
maybe ZIM,Bangla,West Indies etc should not be considered a team in international cricket then

Wow Astle, brilliant. What a great game. I saw great innings from Sehwag and Kaif and then I got to see Fleming and Astle smash the Indian pacemen all over the place. Styris also batted well and Vincent finished things off nicely. Only part time bowlers got wickets and they had to bowl 10 overs each due to the medium fasts's inability to bowl good line and length. India got enough runs (although they were probably looking at 300 at one stage). Had they got 300 I still think we would of won. We were in control the whole innings.

Kaif played well but losing teams don't usually get player of the series. They could of picked Astle, Fleming, Bond, Vettori. They all played well in every game. Bond did bowl consistantly, what are you on about? His economy rate and average for the series are fantastic.

Tendulkar received Player of the tournament in the WC2003 when Australia won the tournament!

To be fair - Kaif was a much better player than Bond in this series. Yes, his averages are fantastic but I think the factor in favor of him was his 6-19 against India directed all the talk about him being India's destroyer!!! And he hasnt shed off that tag with the final. So he won it.

Just a small piece of request,

Can you explain again what I have quoted above? May be I missed what you tried to explain!!!!

I knew India had lost it when I last posted. NZ have too strong a batting lineup to lose if they get a flying start. They still had Oram, McCullum and Cairns to come.

The game did get a lot closer than I thought but result all the same.

Well you won't hear me complaining. India just made me rich: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/vbookie.php?do=stats

And I have some records too there. And I was once on 0 points.

Keep on going India.

 

[aussie1st]

I noticed you were on $0. I bet all my cash once and won but it was no where near as much.

Those fantasy games really helped you there. Good job.

Well for me it was obvious who would win the final. Although it was tense in the final overs.

And I just calculated. If I bet for a Zimbabwe win in the Test, I would have 320850 (!) points. : And it could come true the way they're playing.

But the final didn't help me in the fantasy game.

 

[aussie1st]

You should bet all your cash on Clarke for top batter. 9/1. You would fly past everyone if it comes off. I put 300 cause I don't want to be on $0 again. Plus I also put cash on Ponting and Tres to get top batter.

I think he's trying to defend India against the person who said India should be stripped off their status as an ODI team. I might be wrong though.

As for the person (I think Indiangod) who keeps calling India the second best team in the world, HUH?! Just because they made it to the final in WC2003 doesn't make them second best by default!! Kenya made it to the semi-finals, would you consider them to be the 3rd or fourth best team in the world? Even in tests, as good as India is, I consider them 3rd best and in ODIs they're currently better ranked than only Windies, Zimbabwe, and Bangladesh.

Its one thing being a loyal fan no matter what, and its another praising them blindly. Some of the Indian fans here remind me of Chicago Cubs fans. No wait, I'm sorry, that was too harsh.
