vvvslaxman Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I expected Pakistan to win over Sri Lanka anyhow. Afridi says tonight's win is a message for other teams...they'll come harder and harder. . :woot:
ali0786 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Pakistan is dangerous' date=' that's why no one wants to play cricket there.[/quote'] What a lame unsuccessful attempt. On topic, I don't think this is good for Pak. We usually peak towards the end, this is the first time in a long time we have started off well so it's kinda scary. I would rather us crawl to the knockout stage and then peak.

meloveindia Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 pakistan is shaping up well, but still i doubt their ability to chase under lights
vaibhav_delhi Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Pakistan is dangerous' date=' that's why no one wants to play cricket there.[/quote'] true get the feeling tht pakistan will do well in the group stage will crash out in the quarters leaving the 180-odd million awaam back home to cry....
PakSwinger Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 yeah its too bad the american drones are unable to sense the apparent superiority of the nordic blue eyed fair skinned pathans with the hearts of lions or they wouldn't have hunted them down to oblivion. have you ever made one valid argument without resorting to idiotic metaphors? what the hell does being a pathan have to do with anything? what does this have to do with cricket.....tsk tsk..you must be an indian
saurabh2602 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 what does this have to do with cricket.....tsk tsk..you must be an indian It has got the same relevance to cricket as having a pathan lion hearted captain (who leaves captaincy at the drop of a hat, remember test series against australia) :hysterical::hysterical: and btw, most of the people on this forum are indian, thats y its called ICF sherlock. :icflove::icflove:

Watson87 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 true get the feeling tht pakistan will do well in the group stage will crash out in the quarters leaving the 180-odd million awaam back home to cry.... It can even happen to India :(( Pakistan may top the group and play either West Indies or Ireland/Bangla, they are reaching semis that's for sure. India will face New Zealand
saurabh2602 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 remember the time when blah blah blah blah...FAIL This is a worldcup tournament right now....good to see your still talking on cricket..but try to be relevant... hahaha this is really funny coming from a paki bcoz everytime there's discussion of indo pak cricket you people are quick to point out the past record.... :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: when u say lankans are tigers...they are not actually tigers...its just a metaphor to describe them....Indians take everything so seriously lol...funny in fact..yea I know this is ICF...i was being sarcastic..but ur too.......ughhh We never say lankans are tigers :haha::haha: (even the lankans themselves call themselves lions u retard:finger::finger:) you definitely are from the land of shahid "the retard" afridi as you are one yourself too and i'm not beng sarcastic here :--D:--D
NareshK Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 The thing with Pakistan is that even their die hard fans know at the back of their minds that they can turn up on a day and play rubbish, unlike Australia or South Africa. They can go into a quarter final match with everything going right and suddenly get bowled out for 150. There's no saying how they play on a given day.

Ascher Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Has any team ever won a worldcup playing in front of their home crowd?
Ultimate_Game Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 It's too early to say anything - I would wait till Aus-Pak game to form an opinion. They beat SL at a venue where only 2 out of 19 games have been won by teams batting under the lights, and even then they only managed to squeak by 11 runs.

As for having the advantage of bowling under the lights so even sangakar is on record saying that they should have got 277 under those conditions regardless of the playing conditions. TBH, I thought its actually Lanka who appeared to be rather ordinary on the ground despite all that hype about them playing in their own backyard. I think the two recent big matches have given us the reality check about both India and Lanka who were hyped like anything as far as that meaning-less rhetoric churned out by pseudo-intellectual of espnstar was concerned.:--D

We at least got a tie, also keep in mind we have never lost to you guys in ODI world cup tournament. We'll see you folks in semis or quarter and knock you out like old times (1996) :two_thumbs_up:
