ICC Cricket World Cup 2011

I will reiterate the above posts...Ricky 'out of form' Ponting is still at the crease...as long as thats the case you've got problems.

Okay, we get your point. I don't see the need of stating the same thing after the fall of every wicket.

:p


I'm pointing it out because you lot are going on 'BIG WICKET' etc after every batsman that falls but the real wicket you need is Ponting's. He just seems to be up for it.
 
India's strength is batting and we also have an extra specialist batsman playing today.

Anything below 275 would be great and very achievable.
 
Ponting's batting still doesnt look all that convincing to me, its better than some of his innings before in the WC but he's just gotten away because of some below par bowling imo.

We've made it real easy. There's been no potency in our bowling apart from Zaheer coming back with the old ball. And Ponting looked out just there facing some proper bowling.

So it looks like Australia are going to get 270. Tough ask.
 
It seems umpires are less likely to give a batsman out if there is no chance of them being challenged.
 
The Indian bowling really isn't up to much is it?

Revelatory stuff, I know.

You're too kind. It's a bit rubbish. We must be the team that has the least number of lbw appeals amongst the better teams because there is nothing dangerous about our bowling.
 
But that's right though isn't it? Because the umpire must be certain it is out. If any doubt exists he shouldn't be giving it out, technology or not.

Actually it should be the same whether the team can review or not. In fact if anything you should be more ready to give it not out if there is a review for the fielding team left because if they are convinced they can review the decision.
 
Ponting 100 - nice way to hit back at his critics.
 
For the sake of the tournament the Aussies should forfeit the match during the break.

An India Pakistan semi is the right semi final. :p
 
I'm absolutely relaxed about this score. I'd say it's a fantastic performance from a very weak bowling side. The bowlers will not be responsible if India cannot get these runs.
 
India should knock these runs off, but anything could happen still. Kudos to Ponting, came to the fore under pressure, great player.
 
feck, bad first bowl from Harbhajan.
 
Ashwin has been brilliant today. His fielding has been very surprising.
