finally
Gone, they take one, finally.
This is poor. At one point we were looking at 300! Now 250 would be brilliant.
And he's gone atlast.

Finally gone. Well played Sachin. Poor shot though.
We're fecked.

Finally got him.
Didnt score a 100, good omen ?
fecking hell. This is going from bad to worse. I hope we at least get 225.
Finally.
India in a big big hole. And they just found out it has quicksand in it.

Nope.
Yuvi going was the big wicket imo.
So its down to India's world class bowling attack to win this for them ....
We're in a huge mess.
I'd be delighted at 250 ATM.

Maybe that Pakistani Minister had it right...he knew what was to come, so came out with the threats about match fixing...hehe
Agree. That's where we could have stepped it up.
India have lost the crowd too.
Amazing recovery from Pakistan given Sehwags start. India were flying after 20 overs. This Pak side really has self belief and some character.

Blame Ramiz Raja for jinxing Sachin. 
Will India bat out the 50 overs? pathetic performance from India so far given all the blag about their much vaunted batting line up.
We are barely going at 5 runs an over and there is absolutely no batting after this. So all in all, it is looking very bright for India.
They have that certain spark in the field that we lack. Every bowler attacks. And that's the kind of form that wins tournaments.
We've fecked this right up. Middle order looks to be failing it when we really needed it most.
Btw, that Riaz wicket to skittle Yuvraj gets better everytime I watch it.
Thats one of the worst innings from Tendulkar ive seen :s And he still ended up with 80ish. Pretty much last chance for India to get a decent score to hold on to.
This is actually a great pitch for spinners. All those Sachin drop catches and the wicket, the ball stopped on him. We've gravely mijudged this pitch. I think our seamers will struggle.
Double feck.
This is a disaster given the start. Time for MS to produce a captain's performance...

We have Yuvraj, Sachin, Raina to help us out though.
Like that is going to happen. When was the last time he had a big score?
Same here. But he did get 85 or so crucial runs. It's the middle order which is why we're in this mess.
Good thing we took out our spinner and put Nehra in the team.
6 runs from the over. Get in!

It was a full toss which reversed and went of to hit the stumps courtesy of his pads. It was not Malingaesque.
I think all the dot balls, with him being quite scrappy today, didn't help you lot despite all the runs.
I have no problem with the dot balls. It was bloody tough batting against the spinners as was evident from others batting. But he stuck in and fought it out which the others didn't.
Inside edge
Yep, agreed. But now's the time to do it, if ever. He's got a little start, really needs to go on from here.
I struggle to see where the victory will come from though. It's likely to be a sub par India total and I dont think our bowling attack will make inroads
Looks like an inside edge - poor review.
Exactly. There were far too many dot balls today. Very poor innings. Maybe him getting out is not all that bad because now we're getting over 3 runs an over again!

I think it's about time Dhoni performed. He's rid on the back of Sachin and Sehwag (metaphorically) for awhile now. He needs to stamp his authority over this game and contribute like Afridi is to his team. It's not much to ask of that for one game in a world cup.
I'd say he got lucky today, rather than fought it out.
Man, some of you are demanding. Had he gotten out we'd be all out for 210.
