World Cup Group B - Pool Matches Discussion Thread

[Aoun13]

Already a winning total by West Indies. This is a toothless bowling attack by Pakistan and on the top of that we want to go with 4 bowlers. Probably another crushing loss and we are well on the course for an early exit.

@namin96 - Well, that World Cup fix theory is proved even more wrong today. According to that message, Pakistan were expected to beat WI today, and well Pakistan have now lost by 150 runs.

With the BCCI in charge of cricket today anything is possible.

I doubt a whatsapp message does exist however I do believe that there is a possibility that the cup may be fixed, in fact the 2011 cup was fixed how else would a team lift the cup with no bowlers? I take that back the laws are so relaxed now that bowlers are at a great disadvantage unless you have a Steyn/Johnson/Boult etc in your side!

Yaa .You are right . Every World Cup till now was Fixed.
How come South Africa which had the best players BATSMAN & BOWLERS of the world Never won a world cup ? Mr .Logic

 

[SpitfiresKent]

I highly doubt this WC or any other previous WC is fixed, there's just no way you could have every single team/player in on it without someone whistle blowing. It's a ridiculous claim.

West Indies would have gained vast amounts of confidence from today's win, I don't have much hope of Zimbabwe causing them any problems next up unless their bowling improves, especially in the last 10/15 overs.

I think the group qualifiers will be:
SA
IND
WI
IRL

Pakistan are going out at this rate and the Irish deserve all the wins they can get, they are a joy to watch.

The msg on Whatsapp is fake.

Go through the results mentioned therein: How can Nzl play India in the QF ?
According to the msg, NZ should win all matches and be 1st in their group. India will be 2nd in their group. QF is to be played between Team 1 & Team 4. So dont read too much into this.

Where corrupted practices are involved there is little or no room left for logic.

Another game to highlight is the '83 final, considered by many a questionable match!

haha. obvious troll is obvious ? [DOUBLEPOST=1424532444][/DOUBLEPOST]Pakistan will be really worried now. One more slip up against either zimbabwe or ireland, and they might not reach the QFs. I dont think they can win against SAF

 

[namin96]

May India win today! All hopes on Kohli!

To all Indian fans - one sincere request, DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

If Pakistan play like this, the only team that might win against is UAE. Hope they can bounce back.

Who is trolling and what is this Wrld Cup is fixed theory.

Who is trolling and what is this Wrld Cup is fixed theory.

Some people believe that one team had fixed the whole tournament to get trophy after 28 years, means they actually agree every other participant sold themselves for some money lol.

....Sorry but this forum is not enough widen for publicity stunts.

 

[SaiSrini]

Hope we finally get a game today that lives up to the pre-game hype. A one sided game would be boring. Wanted a one-sided game against Pakistan because a close game against Pakistan is not good for health (due to emotional reasons involved).

I don't see any changes in the Indian XI, except for some batting order changes (Rahane reclaiming his 4th position as I do not see Rohit, Dhawan and Kohli batting till the 30th over to set up the innings for Raina and Dhoni to come in). And as much as people want Axar to play for Jadeja, I would continue with Jaddu who was decent with the ball and brilliant on the field in the last game. And Dhoni will not bat with freedom if Axar is the guy coming in next after Dhoni. Good luck to India, and may they win!

 

[abhi_jacko]

Jadeja is almost irreplaceable right now for ensuring stability to this ODI line up. Would be different if it was a Test match.

Bhuvi is fit from what I hear. I wonder if he will make it into the squad. The 3 seamers were pretty good against Pakistan. Yadav was wayward, but he did get the 2 critical wickets in the middle overs
