Cricket: India vs England - We Won! We Won!

Rohit Sinha

Ah, that makes it much more clear. Thanks. Though we are in a happy situation now that we won the match. If we win that match against Pakistan too, and if England somehow manages to beat Australia, then... :)

Kant wrote: Match Fixing!!! X| Just kidding, of course. :) Kant wrote: Outrage over corruption link (Kenya vs SL)[^] I think we should give these guys a break. The Kenya team beat the West Indies once, and this time they beat the SL team. With time they'll get better. IMO the point of having the world cup tournament is not only to pick the world's best team, but also to let every team play with every other team. It's good for Cricket, and this is the only way new teams can learn. Because good teams rarely go to these places for tournaments. But if we get back at them for playing well, that's not encouraging others much.

So your batsmen may take chance to beat him. Rohit Sinha wrote: Then there is Akram, another dangerous bowler. Yes, he is genuine threat for Indians as well as Muhammad Sami(if he play). Shoaib is constantly under stiff criticism by local media and there is a 40% chance that he will be dropped and Sami acting as a replacement.

If Pakistan enters super six they will become a strong contender for winning the world cup. In 1992 the performance by Pakistan team was not very good in the beginning but they picked up against their last match with NZ (which NZ delibreately lost) and the semi-final (NZ paid a price for delibrately losing). So defintely Pakistan cannot be taken lightly

ROTFLMAO. :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Rohit Sinha

Oh, don't write them off just yet. They are one dangerous bunch of guys. The amount of commitment and determination they can show on the field when push comes to shove is unmatched by any one. Besides they still have two matches left to play and are still in the hunt for the super six. The match against Zimbabwe is almost over already, Pakistan is winning. :-D

The only thing is, in Cricket you don't need to run from here to there like mad. Add style, technique and some adrenaline to the mix, take away any uncivilised madness, and you have a good game of Cricket there. ;P

That's what happened in the match against Australia. He can easily break all their confidence and then they will be puppies in the hands of the other bowlers who can easily do them in. If each bowler plays his part well, they can get India out on a very low score. It is not necessary for one person to take the wickets. We don't want stars in the team. We want team players, with everyone doing his best to push the team forward. Hope the Indians play more sensibly this time.

Well done India! Have faith in your team Rohit, that is all they ask. Would like to meet India in the Super Sixes.

Yes but just remember that whoever won the toss was always going to win the match. It was a day-night game. I stick by my belief that batting at night is a huge disadvantage. Still, well done to India, it's not their problem that they won the toss, and they still had a job to do both with the bat and the ball regardless.

Then there is Akram, another dangerous bowler. Seriously though, there is Tendulkar the best in the world. On the other end, there is Sehwag, (the bowling killer). Next to come is Ganguly the master of tons and many others till number 8. Best bowlers Vs best batsmen contest is usually won by the batsmen. Because cricket is a game of batsmen. (Girls are more tilted towards great batsmen than great bowlers). And with the introduction of modern technology it is easy to work on the bowlers.

Rohit Sinha

Yeah OK. Just like in the match against Australia., The "best in the world", the "bowling killer", the "master of tons" and "many other till number 8" (hah! what a joke) could not do anything. What girls like rarely affects the outcome of a game of cricket. Unless they are playing, of course. While it is good to be patriotic (and you can bet your sweet ass I am much more patriotic that you, and more verbally so; and not just that, I show my patriotism though work, not just words, but that's beside the point), it does you no harm to acknowledge the good players on the other side. I never said our players will be able to do nothing. I just said that things are going to be difficult and challenging for them this time. Enjoy the match, buddy. Why get into arguments? Keep cricket out of pseudo nationalism will you? :rose:

Yes, but remember that we got to bat first because we won the toss. Could have happened to both the teams. Besides, if you saw the match, you would have noticed that this time the Indians were playing very well, much much better than the recent matches. So I won't take any credit away from them. :) And BTW, do you know why batting under the lights is considered a disadvantage? Because this factor doesn't seem to be there in other venues? Are the lights not good? Or is it something else? The winds, and not the lights?

Or is it something else? The winds, and not the lights? :-) Hmm, well over the years I've watched many many day night games and I too never used to believe that the side batting under lights was at a disadvantage until the stats were placed in front of me. Invariably, if you win the toss for a day-nighter you bat first, no matter who you're playing. Sides that go against this are rare methinks. Batsmen always say you don't see as clearly under lights as you do during the day (which has to be true). Plus at night there is the dew factor to contend with as well. If there i any grass on the pitch, it tends to stand up at night. Also, for some wierd reason, the ball DOES move alot more at night. But seeing is believing for that one. I know England are struggling at the moment, but honestly, is the Indian bowling attack SO GOOD that the English guys kept on misjudging where their offstump was ball after ball after ball? Don't get me wrong, after the Aussies, the Indians are my favorite team. They also have my favorite player of all time in Sachin. But if they had batted second, I do believe they would have lost the game :-) ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff
