Tri Series (India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand) - Compaq Cup in Sri Lanka 2009

Who will win Compaq Cup?


  • Total voters
    36
  • Poll closed .
Chill guys it's all because of Mathews and our poor batting, and regrading the party thing, they do have a life so no issue even if it took place (hope Bhajji didn't slap anyone there ;))


Tomorrow is the actual game, this defeat will help India to overcome the mistakes.


Nehra :mad: :noway
 
Untill we throw that Nehra out I am supporting Sri Lanka. and get Kohli in for DK.

I`m with you! Nehra does not seem threatening at all. At least he is nowhere near the class of Zaheer Khan which new channles here were making out to be after the NZ game. The fact is that the Kiwi batting lineup was woeful and that is what got him (and the other bowlers) those wickets. Ishant is crap in ODIs as usual and the less said about RP the better. I`d go in with Praveen Kumar instead of RP and the selectors made a big blunder by not including Sreesanth or Munaf in the squad once Zaheer pulled out. I still maintain that going back to Nehra was a big blunder and people will understand what I mean when the bowling attack will lose matches in the Champions Trophy. I don`t care what happens in the final tomorrow. This is some astily arranged series anyway. I`m more concerned about the season ahead starting with the Champions Trophy.

I`d say pick Munaf and/or Sreesanth in the squad. At least they`d look threatening sometime. And Nehra is a worse fielder/batsman than Munaf and Sreesanth. Nehra does not seem someone who can lead the pace attack like Zaheer did, even when he was at his peak.
The sooner we realize that Ishant Sharma is`nt ODI material, the better. We must preserve him for test cricket. By playing him and allowing batsmen to thrash him all over the park in ODIs, we are only denting his confidence which might damage his self confidence in test cricket as well.

Just seen on the news,that Virat Kohli was injured,even before he was sent to Sri Lanka to replace Gambhir. Again,BCCI lets us down. Instead,they could have sent Uthappa. :noway
 
hmmm.....care to share where you got this knowledge ?
Guess where :p

Hint: The worst news channel... :sarcasm

Thats none of your business... Where and what they do is their life. There is no conclusive evidence that partying the day before the match has an adverse effect on your performance for the game (at times, partying could help you switch off from the game and then could recharge your batteries for the next day). So stop that nonsense. Even if they partied, not your problem.
No No they party no problem but they lose important matches then yes thats my problem :mad:

I'm sure we'll come back with a difference tomorrow. At least Dravid looks in good touch.

Well,is it a rule or a law or something that whenever India plays they always will win?
It is a just a sport and losing and winning are a part of it.
 
And you believe them ? :sarcasm

I won't mind by losing actually but performing so good against new zealand then the next day such a ridiculous performance makes me angry.

I guess I have become immune to these inconsistent performances after watching Indian cricket for over 20 years.
 
KKD to get a big ton tomorrow. I can feel it in my bones.

Hopefully we'll rebound. If not, meh, doesn't really matter.
