Anakin Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 whineleg's happiest moments. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Watson87 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Oye what about T20 World Cup 2007 we won yaar, it's only 9 months till next world cup, be positive yaar we will defintitely win that one:winky:
Guest gaurav_indian Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 ^^ Before that we have champions trophy in South Africa.And our players know the conditions there.Plus its ODI less chances for minnows to upset anyone.We are playing really well in ODI's.
Gambit Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 We chased? Yes. India won the toss and elected to field in all of those crucial games. And these very defensive decisions cost us everytime. :-O
fineleg Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 ^ Gambit, but after the loss against WI this week, many here were talking abt Dhoni should be chasing against England.
Guest gaurav_indian Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yes. India won the toss and elected to field in all of those crucial games. And these very defensive decisions cost us everytime. :-O Where is my 1 million ICF?I want to bet on Pak vs Ireland.:((

Well said Paaji, we will destroy whoever is in our group and especially take revenge from the Angrez
h4te Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yes. India won the toss and elected to field in all of those crucial games. And these very defensive decisions cost us everytime. :-O brah, if Dhoni had decided to bat first today, ICF right now would've been a million times more annoying with all these posters saying how we should've chased given that we lost the last game. :-O On paper, our batting is much much stronger than our bowling....the target was not hard to chase at all. Really really hard to blame the young guy, but if Jadeja had even scored at run-a-ball, we would've won easily.

I have no idea why he was even sent in. There didn't seem to be any plan. He wasn't sent in to slog (which is what he does best as far as i know :dontknow:). (not another mindless dhoni bashing here, maybe team management bashing). but i didn't see a single person carrying out drinks to let Jadeja know that he has to hit or atleast take singles or just get out. He's only 20 and inexperienced.

Bat first, bat big and then all the pressure is on the other team.
Mr. Wicket Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yes, but the WC losses were genuinely upsetting and painful. This isn't. Another T20, move along. They'll get another chance in a couple of years, or if they win the Champions Trophy in September I'm sure pretty much everyone will forget this.
Mr. Wicket Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 BTW... how many people here actually WATCHED ball by ball the two eliminations we had at Sri Lanka's hands in the WCs? The 96 semi final was absolutely GUTTING... and the 07 first round elimination was also seriously painful to watch - this thing barely registers on the scale. (Heck... I can think of a few tri-series final losses between 00 and 04 that hurt more than this... or the series loss to Pakistan in 05 AFTER being 2-0 up!)
h4te Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yes, but the WC losses were genuinely upsetting and painful. This isn't. Another T20, move along. They'll get another chance in a couple of years next year, or if they win the Champions Trophy in September I'm sure pretty much everyone will forget this. :headshake: world cup every year?
Mr. Wicket Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I thought the World T20 comes along every 2 years?
h4te Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I thought the World T20 comes along every 2 years? next one is in 2010...
