lol sami ullah khan
i sure wish that this will not be sachin's last match
its gonna be goodbye forever to atleast one player-sachin or kamran(for dropping sachin)

Mate dont worry he wont drop a catch now as he knows its semi-final so lets wait and see!

 

[Z.Khan]

+1.
I guess he doesn't want the word 'India' to be involved in World Cup because Pakistan has not been chosen as a co host .

Is that how far you can think? No comments on your mentality, buddy.

 

[Z.Khan]

Is this the first time in World Sport that a side has home advantage in a World Cup. Every World Cup will have home advantage of the host nation. Are you out of your mind?

So what do you want to suggest, if Australia reach the finals of a World Cup which is being hosted by Australia, the final should be shifted to Lahore just because it gives the Aussies home advantage.

Do you even know what `hosting` an event means? England won the FIFA WC in 1966 as a host nation. They did`nt just shift the final against Germany out of the Wembley because England had home advantage. It has nothing to do with money or anything.

If a nation is hosting a WC of any sport and reaches the knockouts, they are bound to be playing at home. Thats a lame argument that you are making. Sport cannot have separate rules for Pakistan and for other teams. If you are part of a World Cup, you have to play in the host nation against the host nation if the need arise. You cannot devise strategies for a particular fixture.

You are making it sound as if India are playing the semi final of a WC hosted by Australia in Mohali. BTW, Sri Lanka will be playing their Q/Fs and semis at home as well. So lets just shift that out of SL!

Umm. Pretty clear now. It was very simple but somehow I wasn't getting it Thanks buddy.

I don't want to indulge in discussion with you. I am here for positive discussion and if I am proved wrong, I will happily accept that. I am not proving anyone wrong neither want to indulge in IND/PAK discussions. If the semi-final was held in SL, BAN, or even PAK (if it was one of the host nations),my reaction would have been the same.

You're wrong! A hosting nation has all rights to play, and win the trophy.

I would say go and learn some manners before talking to someone. Looking at your above post, it's clear who is barking and who is talking.

Apology for that, I was on bit aggressive mood. Hope you don't mind .

After seeing this, if India wins WC, I'm feared how people will react.

Can't you notice the "", I was kiddin' .

 

[Sedition]

Yes, I agree with the money part.






How come they didn't know that India and Pakistan might be in the semi final? They should have thought about this earlier.



I just registered today. I MIGHT have said that , but I guess you don't see the difference between IND vs AUS match and IND vs PAK match. Is the audience going to react the same? At least I don't think so. We all know the history and history does repeat itself.

I'm sure it was hoped that India vs. Pakistan would be in the semi final, and the place that's going to have the best atmosphere and make the most money is in India.

Your initial argument was that it's "unfair" for teams to have to play India in India, because they know their pitches so well.
1. Everyone knows what Indian pitches play like.
2. Many players have experience on said pitches with the IPL and tours.
3. It wasn't unfair for Australia or anyone else who played India, they should've been better prepared.

And regarding the crowd, Australia certainly didn't get any respect from them. Even after the game Ponting was boo'ed when making a speech in what is very likely his last WC game, and rumoured last international.

Honestly, I'm sick of Pakistan thinking they deserve some kind of special treatment when they frequently bring negative headlines.

hmmm..........the curious case of kamran akmal-the MS dhoni of pakistan cricket.
hes there just because india/pakistan (im talking for both dhoni and akmal) does not have a keeper which has good reputation and experience(dinesh karthik??nah!).

 

[sami ullah khan]

Please don't insult Dhoni by bracketing him with Akmal. Dhoni averages 48 with the bat and is much better behind the stumps. We will give away hundred of akmals for one Dhoni.

Dhoni<Akmal!
Oops !

Actually i would say dont insult any player whether India Or Pakistan and ya they have done something so they both have reached Semi-final! so dont hope that 100% india or Pakistan will win

 

[Gurjot95]

I am already feeling good. I Was totally neutral, and I am not wishing for India's defeat. And anyone thinking neutrally would say the same. As I said earlier I don't care who wins. May the best team prevail. India is best among both the teams, but it would have been a better test of both team's abilities if it was held at some neutral ground. With definite advantages over Pakistan, (besides the team strengths) the match would be a little faltering for a sensible person. India's crowd, India's pitch and India's win. Makes sense to me.

The match is helding at Mohali which is the best supporting wicket for bowlers in India. What do you want more?

No worries.

The reaction would be as it has always been. Hoping for a great game and not rivalry between the two.

It was a little contradictory.

 

[sami ullah khan]

If I were Afridi, I would open the innings considering India will bowl Ashwin first up. Afridi can be deadly against off spinners with the field in. It will be an attacking move.

 

[Z.Khan]

I said "Pakistan" not teams.

 

[Auwais]

Afridi's been shocking with the bat so far in this tournament.

 

[Vedarshi]

Well of course,
in the end its the best team who will win good luck to both india and pakistan!!!!!!!!
