Group B - Bangladesh, Bermuda, India, Sri Lanka

[AbBh]

since when did u become a "astrologer"

 

[manee]

You are all forgetting that although India has a wicked batting line up on paper and a great record against Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka are the better team and will likely win tomorrow.

Just don't get your hopes up and take each ball as it comes.

i just hope sri lanka wins the next one then bangladesh is through (assumining Bangladesh beat bermuda) but then the next match could be fixed and India will win as even ICC doesnt want India to be out. so lets wait and see

India (likely) 1 Sourav Ganguly, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Irfan Pathan, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Rahul Dravid (capt), 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 8 Ajit Agarkar, 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Zaheer Khan, 11 Munaf Patel

Sri Lanka (likely) 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Sanath Jayasuriya, 3 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 4 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 5 Chamara Silva, 6 Russel Arnold, 7 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 8 Chaminda Vaas, 9 Farveez Maharoof, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 Lasith Malinga

Sounds about accurate. That being said, I would rather Sreesanth in for Agarkar.

Wow. I see the precursors to the match-fixing allegations jumping out again, if India do win tomorrow.

It seems easier to just shout match-fixing these days instead of trying to blame the umpires :

That's because we all know that the umpires have fixed the match.

I read an article in HT that Harbhajan might be in for Agarkar in that mentioned lineup. Which means both Bhajji and Kumble will play and Irfan in for Uthappa to have 5 bowlers.

I wish the team plays 5 bowlers tomorrow. Our bowling is the 'so called' weaker link. We need to strengthen it with 5 bowlers and have the best guys who have done well for us in the past (not many have done well in the recent times!). So a bowling line up of Zaheer, Irfan, Munaf, Kumble and Bhajju can do good.

Dont you guys feel a sense of tension, waiting in anticipation for tomorrow's match? Its like how you would feel in those days on the eve of an India-Pakistan match. Utterly scary to think of the consequences of a defeat! Dont know how I am going to react to it. If we win, I will be elated, for sure and hopes will soar. Lets see!

I have stopped caring for those group.... I doubt if its anymore as easy to fix a match as it used to be before!

Tell me about it. I may just skip class and work tomorrow. Depends on how the first innings goes (my first class is at 1 PM CT, which is precisely 45 minutes after the first innings is scheduled to close).

 

[evertonfan]

Hell even i'm nervous. I want India to win so badly for reasons unknown to me!

Wow, we are very opposite people.

You want India to lose badly???? Why???

 

[borncricketer]

Come on India, we can do this :happy

i hope i can skip my school tomorrow even though i have 2 tests tomorrow

I wonder what the probabilities are of Sri Lanka dropping some key players

Consolation?

 

[Pak_cricketer]
