7 wins out of 7! We better lose it to South Africa this Sunday, coz this is going the 2015 way! I don't genuinely think we are like the Australia of 2007, who won the 2007 ODI WC without losing a game! Also losing to SA on Sunday will get the "2011 nostalgists" to decipher how we lost to only...

So, South Africa have played 6 games so far where they have chased twice. Out of those 2, they lost badly to Netherlands of all teams and almost lost today to Pakistan (1 wicket win). Their remaining 4 games while batting first have all been GIGANTIC victories (every single one more than 100...

This is why you don't harp on Net Run Rate at the start of the tournament where you have 9 round robin league games. From -0.193, Australia move to +1.142 with just one game. They (Australia) are peaking beautifully and at the very right time, just like how they are known to be doing. 2...

Hope South Africa's customary "I gotta choke in the WC" moment has come at the right time for them to get it off their backs and done with. Still feel that they are a very good team that could go all the way if they keep their mental noise down for long enough.

Very good win by Afghanistan! Great to see them get all the appreciation from the audience and them repaying the affection/appreciation at the capital city of India with a clinical win! Afghanistan has two games at Chepauk (Oct 18 vs New Zealand and Oct 23 vs Pakistan). With their bowling...

Oh. That I agree is 'offensive' and I wouldn't support that! But heckling happens everywhere. Our crowds have been criticized for racially mocking Andrew Symonds in the past. England/Australia racially target brown players from the subcontinent when they play in those countries. We live in an...

Wait... Was Shami physically assaulted during that Gujarat Titans game in Ahmedabad? He plays for the home franchise of Ahmedabad in the IPL. If Ahmedabad was so religiously intolerant, they would not have picked someone like Shami. P.s: I think this discussion is getting political and I would...

What chanting? "Jai Shree Ram"? Sorry I didnt care enough to watch the game, just checked the scores. I saw a social media video circulating where the crowd is singing "Jai Shree Ram". But they were singing along with the DJ who was playing the song "Jai Shree Ram" from the recent Bollywood...

Australia have started horribly before like this, and then have gone on to win the whole thing (1999). Anyone would be incredibly stupid to count them out this early!

I did already wish for a South Africa vs New Zealand final this tournament, and good to see others also predicting a similar outcome. Best time for South Africa to break their "no WC jinx" and it would be pretty spectacular if they lift the trophy, after having being forced to qualify for this...

How did the DDCA manage to build a road right in the middle of the Ferozshah Kotla? :p This was supposed to be a slow and low turner (like the slow burn thrillers that we have in cinema). Guess some helping hand too from the Jindal Group to boost Delhi Capitals' fortunes for upcoming IPLs? :lol

Indian cricket team should have finished this game by now and they are just stat padding.... How dare they not think about Net Run Rate in their 2nd game of the tournament where they still have 7 more games to go? :rolleyes:rolleyes:rolleyes /s

New Zealand have had a great start to the tournament and as always, look a force in ICC tournaments. I will be very happy to see both New Zealand and South Africa fight for the title on November 19th.

I cant believe Rahul is being criticized for his reaction at the ball going for a six instead of a four, so that he could get his hundred. Its not like it hurt the team who won 52 balls to spare in what was their first game in a 9-game league stage. I was disappointed that he overtimed that shot...

And Kohli gets out, looking for the push! This is a 9 game round-robin league stage. They will get umpteen opportunities to improve their NRR. This is just their first game of the tournament and against another strong contender. Your top priority is not to lose. This pitch has been tricky.

You don't need to go hammer tongs on this wicket as that will open the doors for Australian team. In fact, I am happily surprised that Kohli and Rahul have played sensible cricket after that jolt at the start and have taken India to a spot of comfort here!

Rohit Sharma wanted to prepare for situations where Indian cricket team were 10/3 in World Cup games. Well...... he is getting the best possible preparation for it with the very first match of a World Cup, where the team was 2-3 and are on track for victory. Anyone who thought of moving Rahul...

Why did they pick Ahmedabad for the WC opener if it has to be the finalists of the previous edition? Or why did they start the tournament on a weekdays when it has to be started with the finalists of last year?Could have started it at Wankhede if weekday. The game would have truly been full and...

Its days like these, that makes me feel happy that I dont passionately follow international cricket anymore :lol Promising people free food and lying to them that its an India vs Pakistan match today in order to bring them into the stadium? Picking a stadium/city like Ahmedabad for a non-India...

This will be very funny if Pakistan stakes claim on the name of "India". Cricket matches between these two teams will be renamed as "Bharat vs India". When right-wing hyper nationalists use the phrase at the seculars "Go to Pakistan" when the seculars say something even remotely in praise of...
