ICC Cricket World Cup 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date
first time the team which has won the toss has batted first here in this WC.
Hope those seamers don't get smashed around.
Three pacers 
India have won the toss and decided to bat first. Lets go!
They reckon dew will make a difference in the evening.

The pitch ain't going to turn mate. Plus we have Bhajji, Yuvi and Sehwag as spinners. I don't think Sehwag was fit enough to bowl last match but he will be this time around.
I've decided I like India chasing.
A few pundits are saying we should be chasing because we are better at it. What do you lads reckon?
I still would have liked Ashwin to have played. He's a fighter and you need fighters in these matches. Nehra is not very mentally strong.
Anytime India have won the toss & batted first against Pakistan in WC cricket, they've won easily. Will see if Pakistan can turn the tide.
I m have four classes tomorrow out of which three are in the morning. I m not going to any of the three. I better get a good game today because I m pulling an all nighter.
I think the same.
India batting first try to score too fast and occasionally pay the penalty
Most of the locals seem to think dew will not be a factor at this time of the year.
Reckon there will a hell of a lot of pressure on our batting to compensate for our bowling, but if we put up a big score I reckon we'll win. Their batting is weak. But we can't get a sub par score.
Bollocks. Didn't want us to be chasing.
Nick Knight is a superb analyst
I think he used 'in the World Cup'
Respect to the Indian fans for respecting Pakistan's anthem.
I bloody love our National Anthem
whats the best india website to track the match with?
will be v imp 10 first overs. if pak can get through the openers, its game on for them
Unless it's an injury surprised Akhtar not playing. There's some green patches on the track.
surprised and very dissapponted no Shoaib picked for a lust hurrah. maybe they though he he would et targeted and so become very expensive, Anyone any ideas?.
Vital for both sides
That was a wide
no i mean blogs/posts etc by india based
Confident stroke from Sehwag.
So is it going to be Tendulkar v Afridi the second over?
compact start from India. Think Tend and Sewag batting themselves in and not to bothered about score in 1st 5 overs. These tow need t stay put for 25 overs, `if they can do that, the will have provide s great platform from which or launch.
Afridi has to change the field. With just two fielders on the onside, there is absolutely no margin of error for the bowler.
Sachin just give the strike to Sehwag!
The latter is in the ZONE!

Four four's in one over. Good over that. It just eases the nerves a little bit.
P.S. Make that five four's.

No ball!
potentially more runs.
The free hit ball was the best ball of the over. 
That was an assault by Sehwag!
