You know that India wants to face Sri Lanka

[Guest prince]

the way dhoni is using his bowlers, you can tell that he doesn't want to win, he definately wants to avoid Australia's pace attack. I don't mind if we beat Lanka in quaters if we loose today.

Are we deliberately losing or we are that dire ? Don't know.

[asterix]

I hope it's not true..Team should always try to win..

[Clarke]

Rubbish .. he's saving the seamers for the reverse swing/batting PP/end overs.

[Ranvir]

The bowlers really are that bad. Plus the lower middle order and tailend are bottlers.

[Andy]

If Its true, then nothing more But shameful Attitude shown By the Team. You are there to Win the WC, and You cannot win it If you think You cannot Beat 'XYZ' Opposition.

[The Realist]

You can't switch on performances like a switch. India have been poor all WC and the trend is continuing.

[Hell Raiser]

As if Sri Lanka is going to let us win easily. The way things have gone, Dilshan and Sangakkara will belt our bowlers around all day and Murali and Malinga will eat our middle order for dinner.

we've lost the initiative a long time ago.. no point saving anyone for later overs.. Then again..there's noone on the bench to go back to..(mostly)..so our fate is sealed.. Lankan batters will chuck us out of the WC (repeat 96) only diff is they do it a stage earlier this time

[Misu243]

That is cowardly stuff by Dhoni..We're going to have to face the winner of that match eventually so why delay it...that is if we win ofcourse

[Sid]

No its the latter,our team is useless

[Prudent]

Nonsense...we have the worst bowling attack among all the qualified teams. I now have ZERO expectation from this team!

[hari504504]

Now you wish someone more spirited like Ireland had qualified instead of us..(albeit diff group)

What are you talking about? We are the No2 ranked team in ICC ODI rankings..We are not there for nothing..

[yoda]

Smart move by Dhoni. Avoid the aussies. I wouldn't call it cowardly, rather as GWB would say - "Strategery". :two_thumbs_up:

[zen]

I thought at A'bad, Ind would want to play OZ more than SL :P .... But if we play upto our potential, we should do fine in the KOs no matter who we play against :nice: (and vice versa)

yeah..overstatement I agree ! But After watching Munaf play soccer on the outfield instead of getting the ball with his hands for the umpteeenth time.. I am truly miffed !

[Anakin]
