JourneyMan Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Aussies are head and shoulders above everyone else anyway, so it really doesn't matter who qualifies for the semis.
Bigg Brother Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Honestly I am worried about that..Took so many days to recover from that..I can remember that Pakistan wasnt even going to qualify for CT17 and they won some series against Zim and that improved their ranking over WI and qualified as per cut off date..Losing to them was like a nightmare for me.For once, Dhoni should come out for toss against Pakistan, I dont have iota of trust on phony Kohli, that CT toss still haunts me.

Gollum Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Why this much tension? Aussies will most likely crush whoever comes their way in KO. We aren't favorites esp post Dhawan's injury, we have nothing to lose. Go out there and enjoy the game.

Nash Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 To me is pure hate. India winning world cup and pakistan going out of tournament . It cant get better than this. If they came again indont of india, india will defeat them again. Ct17 was kohlis brain fart not taking batting . Otherwise it was all done.

Ditto. Facing Pakistan would be like facing a team possessed by some supernatural forces. Every result of their matches so far has been very similar to 1992 world cup. Also the way luck has been in their side, it really giving me a bad feeling. Singh bling and Pandya_Power 1 1
Pandya_Power Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I put t down to some of the posters being nervous characters. FOr my part, I'd thank the heavens if India faces of against Pak in the KOs. A walkover guaranteed. Pak will bungle it.
Anoop K Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I want to meet Pakistan in semis and knock them out. flamy and jonas10 2
nevada Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I am more worried about having to play Australia again. Pakistan is also a worry, but a minor worry compared to the Aussies. They are ruthless and demolish the teams in their path.
Number Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 We can defend even 240 against Pakistan. Also we can restrict Pakistan to very low scores if they bat first. Something which we can chase down easily as Dhoni also becomes a handy batsman in low chase. Indian fans are unnecessarily worried. Our team was not in best shape in CT17. The ego tussle between Kohli and Kumble. Inexperience of Bumrah, Ash Jadeja crap bowling.. there were just so many things that were not addressed. Now we are a much better team and we should beat Pakistan. Our target today should be to knock England out. Then Aussie its between us and the Aussies.
flamy Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Not me. We are the only unbeaten team and some "fans" still find a wrist to slit. I'd rather beat every team that comes our way than worry about who we face when nevada 1

Middle order problem is same , infact now we don't have Shikhar. Get Rohit and Kohli out cheaply and match is in your pocket.
rtmohanlal Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 i think it all depends on 2 factors , how efficiently the team is able to close the gap formed due to the absence of Dhawan.Is Rahul enough to be at least 75% of what Dhawan can be? Secondly how this team copes with pressure of expectations from billions w.r.t chasing a relatively larger target.Bowlers are quality enough to bundle teams out for less that 275 normally. Then it all depends on the batsmen to play with such composure and a well defined plan to chase that target. For instance in this year itself India scored 299(a) & 281(h) vs even Australia by chasing of which first was a victory.Then they scored 3 more in the range 230-270 chasing vs Aussies. That means there is no question of the calibre of this team even w.r.t chasing in the range 230-275. Then it all comes to adequate planning & handling the pressure.

If both hitman and Kohli fall cheaply, we can forget about the match. Dhoni will somehow survive and get us to respectability but that's about the max he can do. He cannot do a Coulter Nile type of counter attack to turn the tables on the opposition. Hardik is a gutsy player but I doubt he can play a long innings till the end of our overs quota. Kedar and Shankar are at best support players. They will crack under pressure.
chewy Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Afraid? Hehe, It's more about the missed opportunity to bump the let's laugh at padosi thread...an Afghan win yesterday was perfect moment Frustrated and Norman 2

But on the funny side "enjoying the game" thinking has led to extended careers for SRT and Thala! Edited June 30, 2019 by ViruDilSeKhelo nevada 1
