The Cricket Thread

The Chokers at it again. They will never learn.

It isn't even funny anymore. If they had a winning mentality Australia wouldn't have ruled world cricket for so long.

Why would any bowler bowl half volleys to a tail ender when all he knows to do is whack his bat at everything. Pathetic bowling by Morkel brothers. Not great captaincy too.

Now to the big one: India vs Australia.

India zindabad!

FFS GAMBHIR YOU TIT!!

Christ, I'm slightly worried with Virat gone. Irfan's going well, but we all know how much he likes to become a hero sometimes so I can't see him lasting more than another 3 overs if I'm honest. Backing Yuvy to give a big innings though!

[Madmax 9,219]

Look to get to around 85 for 2 after 12, then double that score in the next 8.

Sehwag benched by Dhoni, big call. I'm glad he's showed some balls for once.

Shows what you know

Lazy shot from Yuvraj, Pathan struggling as well.

Positive : Ball not really coming on to the bat, should suit our spinners and part-timers.

[Ankit 3,176]

What the fuck was Irfan Pathan doing opening the innings. He was defending most of the balls as if he is playing a test match at Chennai. Idiot. Completely kiiled whatever momentum we had.

I am pretty sure Sehwag will be back vs pakistan. This experiment with Pathan opening hasn;t worked. I hope we go back to the tried and tested.

Sehwag deserved the drop though. He's too hot & cold at the moment and as usual the majority is always cold.

We're in real trouble, don't see us coming away with a result today

140 ... just get to 140 or 145. Australia will have a game on their hands.

[Ankit 3,176]

Keep calm and have faith in Indian Spinners. Early wickets and we will have an upper hand. Possibly a wicket of Watson and hussey cheaply and we can be positive about winning.

[Ankit 3,176]

Let's just call in a night then!!

[Ramzi 233]

Could someone please link me to a video that explains the game well, I've only seen confusing ones.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Well the Aussies comfortably destroying the Indians. All good. Our team sheet shows we aren't even taking this tournament seriously. We never do.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Destroyed South Africa as well O_O We're looking damn good so far.

Australia are funny, lost and went below Ireland before the tournament and now looking like very strong favourites for the cup. Love that Australian winning mentality.
