cowboysfan Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 and its a fair game if 2 teams get bowled out for less than 150 each if those pitches are sporting green tracks ofcourse it is.I would rather watch this than 2 teams scoring 300+ on absolute pattas.
gaurav92 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 ^Absolutely. Its pointless to have paataas as premier wickets in WC. We need such tracks too for better competition between bat and ball.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 LOL @ SA - the champion chokers :) Couldn't chase 170 odd on a pitch which wasn't that bad to bat on :giggle:
Ultimate_Game Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 lost 2 bilz :mad: :haha: You gotta remember this lesson - never bet on SA... they can choke in any situation :--D
gaurav92 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Epic :fail: Unfortunately there isn't a smiley on :choke: on ICF and I was forced to be satisfied with just that :(
achilles Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 And Dale Steyn was lecturing us about playing with maturity :hehe:
Ultimate_Game Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 And Dale Steyn was lecturing us about playing with maturity :hehe: Did he? I missed that one. What did he say? Usually it's Captain Smith who opens his big mouth but I guess the disease is catching on :haha:
achilles Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Did he? I missed that one. What did he say? Usually it's Captain Smith who opens his big mouth but I guess the disease is catching on :haha: Steyn takes a dig at Indian bowling THE India-South Africa game is more than 10 days away but SA quick Dale Steyn is already in the mood for a war cry. “India never looked like taking a wicket,” he said of the Indian bowling against England. “It seemed as if they didn’t have a wicket-taker. And then the powerplay came and wickets started falling.” Steyn suggested that the bowlers may still be re-acclimatising to Indian conditions after a lengthy tour of South Africa. “In South Africa, you can get away with bad balls as there is enough bounce, but in India, if you bowl with the same pace, you are punished,” he said. “It is important that you vary your pace while bowling in India.” The wicket at Mohali, however, might be more to Steyn’s liking. “Since it will be our first day game, we do not know what sort of conditions will be there. But I guess the Mohali offers bounce as well as being a quicker deck,” he said. Source - IE

Switchblade Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Wont be surprised to hear Smith complain about the pitch
achilles Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 LOL @ chokers :haha: They never learn their lessons - always make idiotic statements and then have to eat humble pie :cantstop: The funny thing is, I don't remember the last time their lip-service actually did the job for them. Infact, they got pwned everytime they talk up themselves. Yet, they don't learn. They can learn some lessons from Pakistan. Sometimes, Pakistan can reply with Bat & Ball. i mentioned the same thing in 1 of the threads stared by O.P Oh. What an epic fail from Dale, isn't it? Tbf, his team did bowl well but there is really no point firing up an under-fire Indian bowling attack. They might just pick the best occasion to fire - 12th March @ Nagpur. And whom do we play that day? :--D Wont be surprised to hear Smith complain about the pitch Yeah. That would be typical.

Hope that we shut them up but my guess is that NAGPUR is going to be a flat deck going by the past records but i hope that we prepare a turner so that Smith cries and complains about the pitch again
someone Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 So so far, only 2 teams have performed to their best. Australia and Pakistan. Rather suprising!
