Oh God, India won again. No problem and good luck to the SriLankans. Koi baat nahin Pak , India aur Australia kee aik aur series bhee a rahee hai
Bilal said:
what has australia playing india got to do with anything???
but anyway...seriously thought we had lost..a few years back we would have..but this team is different..it seems to have the ability to turn results around..
Pakistan put up a good show..winning 4 of 5 games.. but enough of this whole bonus point whining !! it applied to us and it applied to every other team... its not our fault you got whipped by sri lanka...
Sri lanka will go into the final as favourates...and i expect them to come hard..their bowling will be improved with vaas and murli coming in..the toss will be crutual..
Hmmm, good post by Amolbhatia. I meant that the next series we will be facing each other again.
Bilal said:
oh is that the india,pakistan,australia tri-series?? where will it be held?
yeah, I think its in Holland.
so you're aussie nowBilal said:
holland..bloody hell.. all part of ICCs plan to expand the game...Whatever happened to sharjah?? some fabulous cricket was played there.. Although i also miss the indo-pak series we used to have in..canada? i forgot what it was called...it went on for 3 years until relations between the 2 countries deteriorated...
The series is between Pakistan, India and Australia. Will be held at the neutral venue of Holland.
U mean, the Sahara Cup ???
cd said:so you're aussie now
hes saying that india,pakistan and australia will be playing a tri series soon...so pakistan will get another chance to take their revenge on us.
Bilal said:
yup..that was good fun...you won the 1st and 3rd..we won the 2nd..i remember ganguly was incredeble in that series..taking 5 wicket halls..scoring almsot a century in every game...it also included the famous inzamam incident..
Ya we will try to take revenge, Insha Allah
OhBilal said:
well if its in Holland we must win
I always support Oranjefeck
oh well...just cricket...too much effort to watch anywayyeap wasted the whole feckin daycD said:

depressing... friend of mine had got a projector screen and all specially for the final...and...
well played sri lanka..but an absolutely disgraceful performance by our batsman...sri lanka did bowl well and the pitch wasnt the easiest..but there are no excuses for not being able to chase 229.. and the fact that sachin made 72 off some 100 balls just proved that it wasnt impossible to get runs on that wicket... players like ganguly,dravid,laxman,yuvraj...never seen them play like that before...its almost as if they decided that the total was so small that eventually if they did stay there we would win... and thats all they did...just stayed there..there was no real urgency..no real effort to take singles to keep the run rate moving...
sachin showed how exactly india had to go about the chase...he built his innings perfectly..he started causiously..and then just took singles..and ended up scoring at the perfect rate... This loss is probabily good in one way...there was too much complacency creeping in..after the pakistan tour the whole team doesnt seem to be focused...especially the batsman..this is probabily the wake up call they needed.

IronyA Sri Lankan friend of mine changed his msn nick to "Indians suck at cricket and other sports" so I changed mine to "Sri Lankans suck on cricketers and other sportsmen"
at my own selfGood win by Srilanka, I am very happy that India lost
this thread has been turned out to be the most posted thread which I have started. Thanks for support !

Well we still did better than you and even if we lost a game to you, we still beat you on your home soilBilal said:Good win by Srilanka, I am very happy that India lost
Gee Bilal, you must be awfully proud of your achievements...well done!Bilal said:
Bilal said:Good win by Srilanka, I am very happy that India lost
atleast we made it to the finals
Still think were the second best team in the world...our record in the last two years suggests so...sri lanka have won nothing in the last couple of years... and pakistan well, have a long way to go.
Dont know why sri lanka were acting all cockey and arrogant in the end...with sangakara sledging and stuff...just seemed odd since theyv done feck all in the last two years...
Hmm, Sangakarra should be more decent in his next games.
I think he should be fined !
I think he should be fined !
depends on what he said...if it was just some casual stuff then its ok..but if it was something personal then he should be fined.Bilal said:
But that doesnt bother me...wev played australia enough to know how to hanlde sledging...just the attitude of the lankans in the end was a bit dissapointing..almost as if they were trying to rub it in... guess its like that when success comes once in awhile..
