ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

[The Taurean]

Sreesanth has been spineless. Feckin learn from the discipline displayed by your mates.

 

[RDCR07]

A good over except the boundary. fecking Mahela! Hate him. We desperately need to break this partnership.

 

[Red-Indian]

Time to squeeze in a couple of overs from Raina before we give Zaheer and Munaf a shot at the old ball.

 

[The Taurean]

anything over 230 will be hard to chase I reckon.

 

[RDCR07]

How close was that!

 

[RDCR07]

Man a 37 year old throwing himself to save one run!

 

[RDCR07]

This is trouble for India. The batsmen are in tremendous touch and now Yuvraj is expensive.

 

[Tumbling-Dice]

Sangakkara Gone !!!

 

[The Taurean]

Good one. Keep going at them.

 

[RDCR07]

fecking yeah! Another wicket!

 

[Red-Indian]

260 should be chaseable here. There's not much turn or bounce. Its not as true as some other pitches but we know it pretty well.

I'd be happy if India had to chase anything less than 275. We know how to pace somthing like that.

 

[RDCR07]

A big big wicket for India. Now we have to make the middle lower batsmen, who are not confident, work extra hard for their runs. We should bring an extra fielder inside the circle.

 

[Red-Indian]

Now lets see what that middle order does coming in before the thirtieth over. This is all I wanted. Their 3 big guys for the tournament not getting a fifty.

 

[sammsky1]

SL bottling it. Have been from the first ball where the started way too slowly.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Yes big wickets!

I'm back. What's happening?

(in the thread not the match)

 

[kps88]

Time to get rid of Sreesanth's overs.

 

[RDCR07]

The fourth spell for Sreesanth. Lets see if he can bowl a couple of overs without conceding too many runs.

 

[RDCR07]

I need to keep switching between this game and United's when that game starts.

 

[Red-Indian]

Dhoni's being stubborn here. Sreesanth's never got reverse spin or bowled well with the old bowl.

Spin had them on the back foot. Raina would have been a better change.

 

[RDCR07]

Oh yeah, I forgot this was Simon Taufel's first ever WC final because Australia have been in the final of the last three.

 

[RDCR07]

I m surprised JayWalker hasn't posted here today yet.

 

[sammsky1]

I need to keep switching between this game and United's when that game starts.

PLEASE: No posting re Manchester United vs West Ham on this thread. Lots of us are recoding and want to watch the match later without knowing the result

 

[RDCR07]

Damn! Sreesanth has conceded 51 runs already in his 8 overs.

 

[RDCR07]

PLEASE: No posting re Manchester United vs West Ham on this thread. Lots of us are recoding and want to watch the match later without knowing the result

Don't worry I am not going to post any results of that game. I read your post earlier.

 

[Tumbling-Dice]

India have this in the bag I think.

 

[RDCR07]

That hit the pad and not the bat.

 

[The Taurean]

That was real close.

 

[KM]

Dhoni shouldn't have caught it, the ball would have hit the stumps.

 

[sammsky1]

was worth taking the review. Thats what they are there for.

 

[The Taurean]

Dhoni shouldn't have caught it, the ball would have hit the stumps.

Its hard to allow the ball go in such a situation.

 

[RDCR07]

Sachin bowling and batting averages are around the same.

 

[The Taurean]

we need a wicket now.

 

[Sultan]

Polite request

Please do not post football scores in this thread.

 

[RDCR07]

We need to break this partnership. If they go on for another 5 to 7 overs, then 275 would be easy for them to reach.

 

[RDCR07]

That is the first boundary Zaheer has conceded.

 

[RDCR07]

That pitched way outside offside.

 

[RDCR07]

Brilliant again from Zaheer! He is tied for the highest wicket taker this WC.

 

[Red-Indian]

Zaheer is the MAN!

 

[sammsky1]

Question to India fans: How/when did Zaheer Khan become such a good bowler? What series or experience transformed him from the chap who got slapped by Australia in 2003 to becoming the ODI premier bowler on the world in 2011?

 

[sammsky1]

Whatever he does with the bat today, With that bowling performance Yuvraj has confirmed himself as man of the tournament.
