255, will we do it?


Recommended Posts

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...

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

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!

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.
