sandeep Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Have to say, that Pakistan making it to the final has definitely added a lot of value to the game. While England/Australia or even SA would have been probably more challenging opponents, the masala of the India-Pakistan rivalry is simply unique, in spite of Pakistan being so weak. The lead up is really starting to get exciting. zen, asterix and StarWolf 3

StarWolf Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Hopefully its an exciting contest and we get to some sledging from both sides. sandeep, SLICKR392 and Asim 2 1

Well, neither Pakistan nor India have resorted to sledging as far as I started following cricket since 2000. It is just another match for god sake. Maybe not for Pakistanis. Vilander and beetle 2

Let's not take false pride in a fake superiority - that would be very greenbro of you!

Was just responding to the constant chest thumping of 'false optimism despite nervousness' exhibited by some of padosi posters here.
sandeep Posted June 17, 2017 Author Posted June 17, 2017 Btw, let's not let this thread degenerate into a total love-fest and mutual appreciation. Bring on the fan "banter". Please leave out the politics, religion and other stooopidity. Special request to Kira, Surajmal and a few my fellow injun fans - Be creative, be aggressive, but don't be stoopid. I'll start things off with a gentle loosener: Greenbros need to petition ICC to open a remedial batting "Kamp" in the UAE for their team. Top 3 Indian bats have outscored their entire team in this tournament. The worst Indian batsman is statistically yards better than the best Pakistani batsman.

Roll over and die before even a ball is bowled? Come on now. Have a bit of empathy for the underdog. After all, its all in the "family". Adi_91 1

I hope ICC alongwith this camp opens up a remedial bowling camp for self proclaimed best bowling after SA and Aus (by their fans) as none of their bowlers are even in the top 3 when it comes to wickets in this tournament. It wont be anything new for the Blue bleeders as they have forever remained in remedial phase when it comes to their bowling. TheWall and Adi_91 2
