Victory in retreat.....

Perhaps another Dunkirk!!!

Hiya @shu and dhaval_14581 ...... Nice to have indians in here 2 ... well iam a pakistani so i bet we are kick ure a$$ ... hehe .. be prepared for it ... btw we did loose agains ausis damn them !!! ... well i knew we were gonnna loose ... lol .. ... so iam desperatly waitin for the 1st march .. man thats one match i cant afford to miss .. .. Signing off .. PooPs...

310 was a pretty good score, considering the early wickets......and even without Warnie our bowlers are a force to be reckoned with...

Ya jafo ... ausis are good when it comes to bollowing .. keep a straight line and giving no widht .. i wish i could be one of them .. hehe ... and ya pakistan arnt a very good chaser .. so i was shocked when they elected to ball first .. .. next time iam gonna be the captain .. lolz ..

In response to Jafo and @shu, I'd just like to say "Shane Warne. D'oh!"

hehe LazyDawg ..... ... btw does any1 have a perfect idea of what happened to shane warne .. i still dont know why he isnt playing .. lol

He took a Diuretic for inflamation to his injured right shoulder....which is a prohibited substance as it is, I believe, used to mask other performance-enhancing drugs, though it is not one, itself.

Most unfortunate...

Very. Made me laugh, though. Not very professional. As a pro sportsman he (and others) must be aware of these things.

Oh ya .. i thought so ... its good he isnt playing for ausis .. lol .. otherwise we would have lost in another worst way ... lol ..

Wow canada plays cricket now (They not to bad man)
I think BC Lara played a supperb inings considering he didn't play any international cricket for a while

Yeah GFXWizard .. lara did show what he's made up off ... and a gr8 come back ... btw this IS the first time CANADA is playing .. right

India's first match today, against Holland. I hope we win (the kinda form these guys are in, there are no sure results, we might lose to Namibia for all I can say.)

And as for the India - Pakistan match goes PooPs, all I can say is that in all world cup encounters yet, it has been India that has driven Pakis to despair. I just hope that the present team repeats history.

Until then, my fingers, toes, hands and legs are crossed.

Hey @shu ... i never expected india to give such a bad performance against such an easy team .. i was shocked how they batted .... i still dont know who is gonna win bec the match is still going on .. they holland is 44/6 ... india might have an easy victory .. but they should improve on their batting and so does my team ... until then .. ill keep everything of mine crossed

Dear PooPs, the pitch sucked big time. The ball didn't come to the bat. Imagine our bowling lineup getting the Dutch all out!!!
And I wouldn't blame the batsmen, they are low on self - esteem after the mother-of-all disappointments in New Zealand.
The best thing to come out for this match, from the Indian point of view, is that the Little Maestro is back to the opening slot. Anyways, alls well that ends well.
Best of luck to the Pakis 4 their next match. And Id Mubarak!!!

Hey @Shu .thanks for the eid .. but mind you i am basically an irani .. hehe .. so ya .. looks like the little master is back into action ... which is a gr8 threat to us ... ... Catchy ya soon after the next match

Things seem to have down in the pool that include SA.

Lanka is on top with 2 wins in 2 matches (they sure gave Bangladesh a thorough whopping, my what a hat-trick!!!)

The crucial India - Australia match is coming up morrow. Hope the Indians find enough faith in themselves to beat the Ozzies (high hopes tho).

What say Jafo?
Wanna bet?
Not about the winner but about which batsman will score the higher runs. I have a feeling that either the Little Master or his clone might just edge the others out in the race...

My keyboard sucks bigtime, misses out crucial words, making me look like a linguistically challenged ass!!! >

Oh....Australia will win this one....no worries...

Jafo, if u go through the post carefully, you will know that I had asked your opinion about the highest scorer in the match...
Of course, Australia will win, but I think the Greatest Batsman in the World will hit a purple patch and regain his form in tomorrow's match...

Hey hi @shu ... so about tomorow match .. i think sehwag will score high .... .. or maybe ganguly .. if only gangule goes one-down .... otherwise sehwag will do it .. and i bet sachin wont even make 50 ... .... Although this is going 2 be a tough match .. bec even pakistan lost agains australia .. tomorow it will show how week india are ... .. bec we atleast gave a fight ... now lets see what inda has 2 show ..

@shu...sorry I misinterpreted...in that case, look out for Gilchrist.....and if Bevan is in......he's seriously good, and won many a game for the Aussies by just 'being there'...

I say enough of this airmchair expertise, the match is starting in half an hour and the result will be for all to see. BTW PooPs, I have heard this many times, 'I want to see a century, but India to lose' from many a cricket fans from opposing teams.
I juthe other way round, India wins, even if Sachin misses out on a big score [looking up at the sky], is that too much to ask???

A century from Sachin, I mean..

#50

I wonder if it means anything. Saurav's won the toss and elected to bat. Sachin's opening. Man, is my heart racing......
