The Way Forward for Ind: the road to semis - INDIA needs to beat SL by 20 runs

[HowardRoark]

No' date=' WI beat Ireland and England in Guyana.[/quote'] They are not SL or Pak or Ind when it comes to spin.

i dont believe i said that' date=' when the thread starter had started a similar thread for Pakistan going through to the semis with just 1 win in their next game and stated that as a fluke team, it is just fair to label the same thing to India. So if we do manage to go through to the semis then we are a fluke team as well is my point. India going through to the semis or not is not what i am arguing at, i hope you get my point now.[/quote'] ++ Absolutely agree with you. The OP keeps shouting from roof tops that Pak's WC win last year was fluke. We are in the same boat now.

and btw we are goign back to St.Lucia. SO their is also the threat of rain. Our game could get washed out and we catch a plane back:--D

St. Lucia is the same weather as barbados basically.

^how do they suck balls?? Windies got hammered by Lanka, subcontinent team. Does that mean Windies suck balls too?

Have you seen the performance of India in the last 2 games? Despite WI bowling a million extras it was still an easy victory. You have to admit India have failed in a major way.

[hitman1980]

Yes....However what is the performance of India in Barbados? They suck balls.

India sucks at playing pull shots .. and in t20 since overs r less and pressure high they suck more .. they have to play shots which they normally wont .. It doesn't mean they r bad players ... having said tht .. bring ur team in ODIs and test .. and then bring in any of ur so called "Fast Pitches" .. At tht time we will show u who's the big daddy ..

YEs India have been failure, no one denies that. But same time windies have been failure too. They won group game due to rain. did not deserver to win that game. Windies sucked against FTBs called Lankans. They are yet to play Aussies. I would say even windies have been failure, despite this being their home ground.

Losing one game against SL in 2020 where anything can happen is not a failure. When the WI beat Australia and get into the semis it will not be a failure.

>When the WI beat Australia and get into the semis it will not be a failure. yes ofcourse, windies will not be failure, But if. Right now they are as bad as India and any other team except Australia and England. Its freaking 20/20

And if India manage to make the semis and then maybe go on to win the cup will they be failures?

No, however according to Satyams laws it will be a "fluke"

:giggle: The Rockstars have more pressing things to do..like shooting more Ads, walking on fashion show ramps, participating in reality shows, taking rest after a gruelling IPL..than go on to the next round..

[satyam1729]

No' date=' however according to Satyams laws it will be a "fluke"[/quote'] Yes it will be. And it will be first time India will win a major trophy by fluking. Agreed

[kabira]

so we need to win by 20 runs or 13 balls to spare.

[Precambrian]

Come what may we MUST bat first. There is no way we're going to survive under pressure batting second. We must aim at something around 200. Still we don't deserve semis. We'll still get owned by England anyways.

[zubinpepsi]

we need to post a huge total.. good thing is we r playing in the ground where we played our group games..

Spinning pitch India bats second after losing the toss SL post a big score India get a good start and then fold meekly reminiscent of 96 SF and 2007 group game :((

Match rained out .. royal KLPD :hysterical:

Yeah, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mendis suddenly became unplayable again a la the 2008 series

The rockstars don't deserve to go to next round. I'm pretty sure they'll sort this issue themselevs by losing to SL. they have many Ad shots to complete back home and relax more after a gruelling IPL..

i dnt think ur thought process is right...if INdia win SL...SL too dnt deserve to reach semis and if WI lost to Ozz thn they too dnt deserve to go to semis...its a wrong thinking tht we dnt deserve to reach semis...its for every other team...u cant think like that....there is nothing like deserving in life....deserving mostly dnt win....other SL would not have won 1996 WC OZz would not have won 1999 WC..INdia would not have won 1983 WC..pakistan would nt have won 1992 WC....Its about fortune and taking chances, so they still have a chance after SL poor loss to Ozziess and it showed tht our blaming of INdia loosing to Ozz was to harsh..coz chasing a stif target against tht kind of pace attack on a fast bouncy track is something imposing if not impossible...
