6th Match: India v Pakistan (Group A)

[0601731]

Kohli deserves his chance where as pathan has been given enough chances and has hardly done anything.I am amazed at people criticizing dravid,he played a very mature knock.

 

[surendar]

Shut Up. I guarantee India would have win if Dravid stayed till the need. i bet.

No, 90% not. Dravid is more a technical player than a player who just loves to hit all over. Thats why, he earned a name, " Wall " and not " Master Blaster ". He played an exceptional/outstanding anchor role, but if we expect him to get 9 RPO, that can only be a dream especially on the surfaces like these.

The Toss mate.

I'll have Yusuf in my team not Kohli, India needs bowler, you know.

May be, it will boost Ishant's and Nehra's confidence up, but definitely, it's not going to be 0.1 percent enough against quality sides. When a team is going to face the sides like Aussies, you cannot have a single weak link either. RP never deserved even to play cricket. :sarcasm

Definitely I am enjoying the tournament with other sides. SA or Eng have to win this because, they deserve a big tournament for a long time especially, SA.

Australia are not the same Australia anymore. If you saw the scores of their game today, WI gave them a good scare. And in Centurion, their pace attack wont find the bite that they might have seen at Wanderers.

Kohli should continue. He is a better option than Dinesh Karthik. Nayar should replace Yusuf and Mishra should replace RP.

The Powerplay? :sarcasm

yusuf isn't good enough to play just based on his bowling skills.

Dravid middles it well when he tries to hit big. Its just that he doesnt try it too much. He was the set guy and he could have manipulated the game had he been there.. I wont say we would have definitely won, but if Dravid was not out at that time, it might have been really close. Dravid showed really good form today. Sad that no one will speak about it since we lost by a sizeable margin.

The surface was not hard to bat. It was great for batting. It got easier under lights with the dew and all (that was when Raina and Dravid scared Pakistan).

And Kohli? I wonder why Nayar as out? he could have bowl 10 overs and i guarantee it would have been just 4.50- 5 eco.


The warm up match?

 

[SaiSrini]

Dhoni was brutally frank when he said "the next two games are knockouts and if we lose in any one of them, then we must pack our bags and go home". Although he said the obvious, I havent seen many Indian captains speak like that on stage. But he has to make some sensible decisions. Today he was also a reason for the loss. Mishra must have played. And Raina didnt bowl a single ball

 

[Gurjot95]

Pak and Aussies are definately going to semis unless something miracle happen.

 

[Chetan0304]

Backs my point about some of the Indian public......

I least care

welcome back from holidays mate.

Lee/Siddle/Johnson is no where going to match Nehra/Ishant/RP. In batting, Sachin has to click in the batting order for huge things to happen.

The Powerplay? :sarcasm

I am not blaming Dravid. But you can't expect a player to play against his nature. Powerplay or without powerplay, Dravid loves to play technically correct. Had Raina or Pathan utilized the powerplay, then it would have been a different story.

 

[pcfan123]

well played Pakistan

 

[Master Khan]

Yeah Good Bowling and Fielding from Pakistan in the End... But they give too many Extras or else we would have won Easily!!

nayar has to replace pathan,pathan has had enough chances.
