The run rate is 3.72, its 67-4, scratch that, 5. Come on man! Some positivity is surely required!

I wish England could do this to teams!

Run-Rate doesn't matter when you have club like bowlers , rubbish Fielders and Sammy -Russell on strike.

Holder is playing one of those crucial cameos runs that matter in low scoring matches like these, hope our rubber attack doesnt give too much that will bite back our batting order later![DOUBLEPOST=1425633743][/DOUBLEPOST]letting number 8 score more and at will shows how lousy our attack really is![DOUBLEPOST=1425633824][/DOUBLEPOST]WI might well score 200 and skittle out batsman here

 

[themusketeer]

Totally agree with it ^^.

@themusketeer What the hell 350 down to 182. Our worst batsmen not gonna chase in more than 25 overs.

Right OK then. India bowled out Pakistan for 224, South Africa for 177, UAE for 102 and now WI for 182.

And you're still saying you have rubbish fielders and bowlers.

You are, I'm afraid, wrong.

we like to say they threw their wickets away rather than our slow pie chuckers bowling them out[DOUBLEPOST=1425638528][/DOUBLEPOST]tough target on a WACA pitch and roach n holder steaming in[DOUBLEPOST=1425638611][/DOUBLEPOST]180 run chases are always tricky

I echo the above post by grkrama.

In every match till now if you look closely the opposition batsmen threw their wickets and runouts.

And you can see a flat track bully just got out by the inform Taylor. Taylor & Roach will rip through this batting order.

Ireland are more deserving of a place in the quarters, Gayle don't seem interested in batting. Disgusting stuff from these guys, seems like they cant wait to get on the plane out of Australia.

That is how Indian fans are sadly. What Indian bowlers have done in these 4 games is actually commendable. Really sad we don't give credit where it should be!

 

[grkrama]

dressing room procession of batsman has started few more overs to go before ashwin is batting

 

[Gaurav_7]

Wow! I just cannot believe some of you guys. Have some patience. One bad start and we bring in the pessimism. This is a test and if Virat and Rahane can bat well here it will help us a lot later in the WC.

 

[grkrama]

we are definite QF exit the moment we meet NZ or aus or eng or SL thats if we qualify to QF

The bowlers have done exceptional they have performed as a unit mostly in the game against the SA even in this game however the WI batsmen are fighting their own demons, so when they meet a world class bowling line up like this they dissapoint miserably.

On a side note the last three or so pages have had a considerable amount of 'anti-jinx' posts from the Indian fans, one or two posts are not a problem but this can be construed as spam, since it addds nothing of significance. Can someone in charge please have this cease?

Yeah I am done with all the pessimists out here tbh. After the tri series the way this team has turned it around is amazing! There is fire within the players, the bowlers run in while bowling, the fielders put in everything they can, the batters run way better in between the wickets. I am really happy to see Indian team do well in this WC especially as I never gave them a chance after how badly they performed in the tri series and when we were opening the bowling with Stuart Binny in the warmups.
