India versus Sri Lanka warm-up today.

Our bowling took a hammering today.

Yadav didn't bowl.
 
Really looking forward to this tournament. Just hope the weather stays clear, especially on 15th June.
 
Excellent performance from Pakistan. Comfortable win.
 
Our bowling is rubbish. I don't expect us to go out from our group. Windies are my dark horses though.

Good batting lineup and quality bowling attack.

Did you see Virat Kohli in that match?

Bloke's fecking ridiculous sometimes.

:drool:

Nasir Jamshed will score a century though.
 
Are they not using DRS this tournament?

Australia's batting is abysmal. Different format but England should have little trouble with these lot in the ashes.
 
How did Yadav bowl? Australia poor or him bowling well
 
They'll use DRS but obviously can't expect them to have it in warm up matches.

Umesh have bowled well btw. His dismissal of bailey was :drool:
 
Good to hear, haven't been this excited for an Indian bowler since Irfan.
 
:lol:

It's nice to see the Australians so shite. About time as well
 
Australia are a good side.

Wade, Warner, Watson, Clarke, Bailey, Voges, Faulkner, Johnson, Starc, McKay.
 
Jadeja is our most important player here.

If he can slot in at #7, it would be excellent. I'm not a fan, but Irfan is a liability.

They are too reliant on Watson and Clarke to get runs in big matches. They need at least Warner in form
 
My comment's just an on-paper comment.

Wade, Warner, Bailey all in poor form. Wade's so-so at best. I think Bailey is a good player and Warner can be effective.
 
Steyn out of our match. Could be very, very decisive.
 
Have to say some impressive fixing by a weakened BCCI in the warmups..hopefully they can carry this form into the tournament proper.
 
India Pakistan is going to be epic.

Battle of the fixers.
 
Really hard to call this tournament.

If England don't win it (we are defo outsiders this time, ODI setup a bit shambolic), then i'd like to see the West Indies do it.
 
South Africa choking!

Jadeda, and the openers have been outstanding.
 
Jadeja has matured into a very good player. Excellent fielder.
 
Good all round performance by India today.

SA were slightly depleted, and will struggle without Kallis, Steyn and Morkel.
 
Quite surprising looking at the back-up options SA have got.

They've left Morris, Parnell and Philander at home, all of whom are better than Kleinveldt.

Tsotsobe is much better than what he showed yesterday.

With Morris coming in, I don't believe SA are out of it yet, if Steyn can get fit.
 
Marchant de Lange as well. Not very consistent, but built like a house and bowls fireballs.
 
Another Pakistan batting failure. feck off.
 
The giant!!!!! Windies 15-2.
 
As do i Zing, really good balance to it.

If Samuels and Gayle get some partnerships going through the tournament, they will run amok.
 
I hate Gayle. Such a brilliant player when he gets going.
 
The Windies batting is very inconsistent. Capable of brilliance but also capable of some absolute rubbish. If you can get Gayle out early then they are going to struggle
 
I think they have moved past that Akash.

Players like Bravo and Samuels are now capable of match winning performances themselves...Then there is the beast Pollard.
 
Beautiful delivery from Riaz. Windies wobbling slightly now, another wicket and it could get interesting...
 
The problem with Pakistan that they've only 90 runs to play with and WI have a big batting lineup.
