India vs Pak == Pre match discussions

[Texy]

I have a feeling this will be an epic game but I'm afraid we might be on the losing side this time.....with our sh!tty bowling, fielding and bits of pieces players occupying the spot as if baap ka maal

[EnterTheVoid]

I really hope we lose to Pak and lose the tournament. There are too many freeloaders who are taking their place for granted. With the world cup just under a year away, a harsh wake up call is needed. Public backlash over a sting of poor performances may revitalize our players, like it did in the aftermath of the 2007 WC.

What will Dhoni blame now? :hmmmm:

No one need to blame anyone. Some honest self introspection goes a long way.

Yes. I was shocked to see him act lame and blame the IPL parties for being an EPIC :fail: in the WT20s. Looking back, I think it was a masterstroke by him to get close to the factions in the BCCI which were opposed to the Lalit Modi gang, what was a better way to get close to them than dig a grave for LM.

I think Pakistan has a good chance of beating us.

[Andy]

Pakistan to win :--D

[Holysmoke]

No fun without Sachin.

[DomainK]

Rumors are that Afridi has a beastly fool proof plan to beat India single handedly. When the Indian bowlers bowl, he would swallow all the balls whole and then run out of the boundary line. The umpires would have to signal four for that.

What will Dhoni blame now? :hmmmm:

The black cat that crossed his car on the day he was leaving for Sri Lanka

Pakistan will win this match. Their bowlis very strong and am sure Ajmal will also play. There'll also be the usual "pumped up" factor. Our bowling line up is pathetic. Bhajji is continuing with his trademark 'fiver' wides down the leg side, which will hurt us more and more.. On the positive note we don't have Yusuf Pathan who would've leaked more runs..

[Shane]

Only rain can save us from the Pakistan Phast Boilers and Phast Boil Eaters

[saneindian]

Bhajji's average vs pak- 72 Zaheer's average vs pak - 45

[Sachinism]

Pakistan will win this one unless they implode

[Ahmed]

I am a Pakistan supporter and want obviously Pakistan to win, but I think the team batting first will win. If India put 260 on the board Pakistan have no chance of chasing it down and we know how lucky Dhoni is with the tosses. On the other hand Pakistan are probably going to announce the squad for England tour day after this match and the guys like Butt and malik will give 110% here so they can get selected for England. These to play well against India historically.

I am afraid thats a lot of speculation. The possibility of a team selection the next day could as well mean that individual interests will override team interest which is the normal state of Pakistani cricket anyways. I dont think the toss is going to be decisive. There will be a ball, a few batsmen and some 100 overs after the toss. You are already washing your hands off even before the match has started.

[Sachin200*]

i just wana say 2 indian fans if u dont like supporting india cricket go support other nations like pakistan but dont say hope india loses all that bakwas etc.

Obviously you don't get the reasoning. :((

[SachDan]

I'm sure our boys will rise to the occasion and win this all important match. Lot depends on our batsmen. If they can see off the opening burst of Akhtar (who made an impressive come back) and Mowgli, we have a good chance of winning this. Pak's top order is vulnerable. Even though all our bowlers are struggling, they should back themselves to do better against these hopeless Paki batsmen. Go India :isalute:
