King Tendulkar Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I hope so but I am very worried. Luck seems to be with the Lankans :shrug: Link to comment

Zap_Brannigan Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? They were extremely lucky plus pretty bad umpiring...not as bad as it has been but bad nonetheless .. Aggy,Zaheer and Munaf bowled really well....they were committed atleast Link to comment
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? 90% NO <---> 10% YES Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Very tricky total. We will need to bat well. Track has pace on it. Link to comment
kabira Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? 40 runs of streaky boundaries...plus 20 extras... Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Atleast it looks like this match is not rigged. Link to comment
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? 40 runs of streaky boundaries...plus 20 extras... Hopefully Malinga's pace will give us free runs Link to comment
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Cut and Paste- India spoilt a good start by giving away easy runs in the middle and some costly ones in the death. Silva batted beautifully to get his third fifty of the Cup on the trot. Tharanga got a good knock too and the Lankans were further benefited by middle order cameos of Dilshan, Arnold and Vaas. Can India chase it??? History says no. Only thrice have teams scored 250 runs or more in the second innings and only twice have teams won chasing such a total on this ground. When we come back, we'll find out how does India battle it out... Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? 40 runs of streaky boundaries...plus 20 extras... Hopefully Malinga's pace will give us free runs indeed, he can be hit or miss. lets hope he has a miss day and we can exploit his pace vaas will put pressure on early. Really hope robin can bat 20 overs, if he does he will set the game up for the others Link to comment
Lurker Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Yes we will. 255 is just the right total. Had it been 300 plus to most likely apne batsmen logon ki fatt jaati. Had it been 200 or less they would have made a hash of that chase. 255 would ensure a firm head on shoulder. See through Vaas and Malinga, make sure no wickets get down in first 5 overs and uske baad go maa-behan at anything that moves and doesnt say Jai Hind! Link to comment
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Sala till now I was relaxed but now I am bag of nerves! Link to comment
ali0786 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? its 50/50 really..If India wants to win one of Sehwag or Uthapa needs to score atleast 50-60 runs very quickly to take off the pressure..just like Tendulkar did against pak in wc 03 match Link to comment
Mandrake Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? guys we are winning this :wtg: Link to comment
Gaurav Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Don't forget SL fielding is superior so lot of free runs would be cut out Link to comment
dial_100 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? Saala... u gone for only 255 n still nervous... ab kya bolega.... Link to comment
kabira Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? plus outfield will be faster than morning...so more boundaries for India... Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? I tell you will win. Pitch looks to have dried out and looks good for batting from first 2 overs I have seen. WE WILL WIN :wtg: Link to comment
Captain of Bhangra Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? No. I said anything over 220 would be too difficult, and this game got away from us in the last 5 overs of our fielding... Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Re: 255, will we do it? India need at least a 50 partnership from Agarkar and Dravid - something similar to what they did during the ICC Champions Trophy match vs Pakistan in '04. From that point on, with Harbhajan and Zaheer's big hitting ability India might have a remote chance of snatching the victory. Highly unlikely; but still possible. I won't be getting up and leaving this match anytime soon. Link to comment
