Even if India lose to SL tomorrow...

[Guest Hiten.]

Gambit are you only saying this so God does not get questioned when he fails again??

:hysterical:

[Rajiv]

I can see the Zee TV headline.... Bigde Dhoni ne phir mooh kala karaya!:P

Might have a side headline too "Badke lalu karenge seniors ki chutthi ka demand"

Good point Gambo. We shall merge all the topics that criticize and OTT reactions into one. Guess what, we don't have to read that thread :two_thumbs_up:

Bad idea.

Better than the forums littered with a thread each for every player that fails to perform tomorrow.

Guess what' date=' we don't have to read that thread :two_thumbs_up:[/quote'] Discrimination and double standards :D No seriously, unless we are gonna do these "merging" for "celebration" and "praise" threads too (which I doubt you will do it for those), then leave the criticism threads alone. Or merge it to the "same extent" you will merge praise threads if they go OTT. Cricketers get praise when they do well, they will get brickbats when they do poor. No interference and double standards please :) PS: If criticism gets merged, then I will keep my eyes open to monitor what happens to praise threads later on and will follow up :D

Yup that's a fair point. We shall be consistent unlike the ICC.:D

Depends on whether they fail in their own unique way. :D

I know where you are heading and I don't want to go there. It's like Pandora's box that topic. Open it and people will folk to comment. :D

Aaare par yeh bachhe ko hamesha maatang kyu manana hai... aabey haar gayee to chup baithe... agla match ka intazaar kareee.

Kewl. :thumbs_up: We (all of us icf-ers including u) will ensure ICF is consistent :P

[yoda]

Seriously, while I agree that we have way too many threads on this board, may be a general advice to posters to add to existing threads instead of a creating a new one for every topic that comes to their mind, would be better.

and you'll be consistently pessimistic

Even if Ind loses to SL, theres no way in hell SL will beat Australia. In the event of that happening, India can still walk out of Australia proud for exceeding its fans expectations in either forms of the game.

..and we will bat first' date=' Sachin will score this time[/quote'] so in other word's when we bat second he doesnt? OMG RAJEEV IS THIS YOU?? :finger::finger::finger::finger::finger:

I have the same suspicion

possible, even otherwise, Aus may play it way too casually, and can lose becos of such casual play. Ind needs to beat SL - the only way, IMO, to go to finalz

I think with our Test team, I am more comfortable with their chances after this Aus series. But ODIs, the outlook is pessimistic unless this newbies team (with SRT and YS to "guide" them) can prove otherwise.
