How can you fic this ffs
Great from the Dutch!

Good start by the Indian bowlers.
5 bowlers bowling well, 4 of them under 6 rpo. You then must absolutely bring yuvraj on to release some pressure. He gives 13 away in the over.
Lucky break for Malik. Don't give away the wicket now!!
Need to get to at least 140...

feck off malik. What did I just say?! Wasted his wicket.
Should be an easy win if we don't do anything stupid.
Who is this batting giant?
Last over has made this somewhat of a competitive score, still not enough runs. Maqsood hit a couple of lovely shots down the ground. Overs 15-19 were a disgrace.
Pitch is slow, Indians bowled very well, Raina caught well.
Still, India should comfortably win...

The lights on the stumps are a good addition.
That would hurt
The camera angles are annoying.
Too easy.
Bring the spinners on!! What are you saving them for??
Wicket!!

You beauty!! Lovely delivery.
Was just about to criticise Hafeez for not using the spinners.

Raina seems to have worked a lot against short pitch bowling, very good to see. Hope Dhawan can learn to do the same thing pretty soon.
Kohli is brilliant.
Yep. Best in the world.
Easy win for India. Kohli and their spinners were superb. Raina was good too.
Pakistan's fielding remains as pathetic as ever. The bowlers mostly got hit about, but with the slow pitch you wonder why Malik didn't bowl at all. Batting was very poor.
Hopefully Umar's injury isn't serious. Best batter and fielder, we're mostly fecked without him.

Good start.
Still believe Yuvraj shoudn't be in the side.
Dhawan's not looking too good either.

That was a borefest. One sided match.
It's strange to see a Pakistani team with such an average pace bowling attack.

What are the odds India will go out on net run rate again?
beaten Pakistan. My interest in the tournament done satisfactorily. Unless we meet them again of course.
I'd fancy us to go to the next round. One win out of Aus/WI and assuming we beat Bangla, should be good enough..
Watching Ireland and Holland beat each other up was a lot more fun than the borefest between India and Pakistan.
Pakistan were as pedestrian as the Dutch were manic crazed on steroids!

I think Rahane should come in for Dhawan and Binny for Yuvraj. Yuvraj has not been the same since his come back from the treatment (which is not a surprise)
I would keep Dhawan and put Rahane instead of Yuvraj.
I think Rahane should open and Rohit Sharma should go number 4. That's where both are at their best.
Amla is a really useless batsman in T20.
Just gobbles up overs.
SA should do: Faf, de Kock, Duminy, AB, Miller, Morkel as the top 6 with Behardien as a floater. Come in and shore it up if too many wickets fall or sit in the dugout and utilize Miller/Morkel above him if they're only 3 down by the 13th over. Bat at #7 when the tpo order does welll.
Duminy will be a good buffer between the aggressive opening and the aggressive middle order.

And he gets out. May well win the match for SA that.
Very good game, SA should've won.
Brilliant catch!!
Nah. Amla is good enough to be an asset in any format.
Dissapointing for England yesterday, reckon they could have won if the game went the full distance.
Pakistan have recovered well here from that bad start. Shocking bowling from the Aussies. They lack a decent spinner.
Shocking from Aussies. Class by Umar.
Bet they regret dropping him know.
Yep.
Loads of mis-field too. Only playing with one genuine spinner was also a baffling decision. Akmal has batted well but some of their bowling has been rubbish. With Ajmal in Pakistan, there's minimal chance that Aussies will chase this.
Ganguly: "This is the first time I've seen Afridi use his mind whilst batting"
Good stuff from Umar. Should be enough to win, but the seam bowling has to be a lot better than it was against India and the fielding too.

feck of Bhatti. Pathetic bowling.
Brilliant from Maxwell.
