ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

260 is more than decent. If we lose one or two early wickets, I don't fancy our chances at all.
 
All things considered, India did well to claw it back to 26o which just about keeps them in the game. I have no idea who it will come from or indeed if that bowler exists, but one of India;s bowlers needs to stand up and deliver a Wahab Riaz type performance
 
Fighting total, India are no way out of this yet.

Riaz was exceptional, spinners did well. Sachin's innings was valuable even if he batted as poorly as I've ever seen him play. Misbah & Younis will be key for us winning, the openers can get off to a flyer or they can both be dismissed for ducks. Right now, this is Pakistan's to lose.
 
Pakistan probably happy with that score after the start.

260 is a very good score with Pakistans batting.

Yeah I'm happy with this score.

At one point I thought we were going to get all out for 225 but Raina played well for to get 260.

Pakistan still favorites for me, but our new ball bowlers need to FINALLY come to the party for us to win. We can't afford to get belted around in the first 15 overs. It's fine when you have 320 on the board but not 260.
 
Riaz and Raina can both be very proud of themselves today.

Bizarre performance from Tendulkar, wasteful from Sehwag; Kohli, Ghambir and Dhoni let the side down. And as expected, Yuvraj was eventually going to drawer a dud.

Pakistan just need to bat the 50 overs and the game is there's.
 
Usually i'm quite pessimistic but i'm quite positive right now. The pitch isn't great and I think we'll win this. Just wish we'd taken pathan over Nehra though.

For who: India? Nah, for India, thats a very very average. I think thats you just being enthusiastic and trying to convince yourself that India still has a chance!

Usually you're wrong. Please be right this time.

They bat really deep.

All they need to do is knock it around and Razzaq or Afridi to finish it off. Afridi's due one.
 
Nice. Nick Knight said that umpires go to practice sessions from each team to figure out the specific actions of each bowler and make LBW decisions based on them.

Did not know that. Standard of umpiring has improved immensely and gotten even better with UDRS. Take a note FIFA you dark aged fools.
 
It'll be interesting to see if Sultan says Tendulkar's was a 'match losing innings' if Pakistan win.
 
2 good shots from Kamran to start off with, hoepfully these 2 can get 60-80 runs but I doubt it.
