jf1gp_1 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 :two_thumbs_up: you have to love the fans and their optimism i remember a BD poster once wrote either here on on cricinfo Final 1999 - Aus - Pak Final 2003 - Aus - Ind Final 2007 - Aus - SL Final 2011 - Aus - Bangla Link to comment
zen Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Talking about trends and possible patterns, one thing that Ind has to guard against is: In the two previous WCs in the subcon, this is how Ind did: 1987 ----> KO in semis 1996 ----> KO in semis If I am not wrong, in both those semis Ind managed to mess things for itself. This time a semi place seems likely but we need to pull our top game this time around. May be it could turn out to be a case of being 3rd time lucky! :--D One possible way to buck the trend of messing in the semis of WC in subcon is to may be play Pak in the semis and hope that we beat them like usual at the WCs. This would not only maintain our tradition of beating Pak in the worldcups but also may it the case of being 3rd time lucky!! :yay: Link to comment

We lost those two semis chasing :--D I am not sure about winning the toss though! .... In 1996, we won the toss but Azhar and company (the management) decided to field on a pitch that had the trend of becoming difficult for batting as the game progressed as they were wary of SL ability to chase targerts .... I don't recall what happened in 1987 but won't be surprised if Kapil won the toss too Link to comment

Sri Lankans had so many part time spinners. Yet he chose to bowl first Link to comment
zen Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 To summerize, what needs to happen in the semis to become 3rd time lucky: 1. Ind should lose the toss 2. The opposition should send India in 3. Hopefully we play Pak to continue our trend of beating them in the semis! Link to comment
