Oh, never mind, it's Kohli.
No not exactly. Not so early in the innings. It is not even the half way point.
We've looked so poor the last 10 overs.
fecks sake. 
ffs.How many chances are they going to give Sachin. This will cost them the game.
Feed Me is going to have a feast
Both drops due to Sachin being frustrated and not putting away bad balls. We need some momentum now, hopefully it comes from Kohli.
I don't understand why Gambhir comes down the track and then knock it for a dot ball.
Pak need to forget about these drop catches an now get on top on India high scoring rate.
Wonder if Sachin was a cat in another life?
He's very good at it but he does it too often.
Sachin's taking a leaf out of United's book. Doing great things the hard (ridiculous) way.
Correct, very adept at playing spin, but he becomes very predictable after a while.
Too many dot balls. We need singles to keep the score board ticking. It just puts extra pressure on the batsmen.
The game has changed since the spinners came on.
I hope our selection doesn't hurt us.

Another 50
Ganguly used to go down the track beautifully against the spinners.

Not one of Sachin's more enterprising half-centuries but they all count.
Why come down the track for a dot ball? You use your feet to hit the ball over the infield.
That was a beautiful shot.
Still a great position
that was a good chip.
Just got home from college, game's got a good atmosphere & I knew those bastards would start to drop catches (clearly fixed ).
What would be a par score? I doubt we'd be able to chase 300+.

True. We shouldn't aim too high IMO. It's clearly not easy to score against the spinners.
Allah saw through all the false piety and is going to help India win today. How Pakistan have contrived to drop the best batsmen in the world twice in a SF of a WC, I'll never know
Anything less than 300 and we are taking a big risk especially without the specialist spinner.
Yeah, Sehwag set us on our way nicely and, hopefully, Sachin will settle down now he has the half century.
Kohli needs to be patient.

Nerves is my guess.
India's use of the batting powerplay will be vital.
What's the usual par score at Mohali?
Kohli looking shakey.

Match-fixing. heheAllah saw through all the false piety and is going to help India win today. How Pakistan have contrived to drop the best batsmen in the world twice in a SF of a WC, I'll never know
If we had lost only one wicket, then we would have been in a great position but now we need to be extra careful and just work the balls around for singles.
Unless Umar Gul comes back really strongly at the end of the innings I think this match is as good as over.
Both Younis and Misbah will think they have a lot to prove when they come out to bat, and will perish under the pressure. I simply can't see that Pakistani batting lineup chasing down 300 in a pressure filled match.
Nehra better prove his worth too, otherwise people will be calling Dhoni an idiot for dropping Aswin, when it is obvious to everyone what an asset an extra spinner would be on this pitch.

Long way to go BTV. The score doesn't reflect the current balance of the contest between bat and ball. We're finding it hard to get them away so anything can happen. A couple of wickets and the tide could change very quicky.
I think India have five batsmen who've scored more than our top scorer, Umar Akmal.
