Shahid Afridi Dares Sachin and Indian Batsmen

[suraj]

This must be a joke. India have scored the most runs out of any team in the group stage. Their top five has three players that are among the leading run scorers and adding to that they now have Raina and Ashwin making them bat all the way down to number 8/9. India DON'T have to do anything different to win this match, just continue playing like they have done. The pressure is all on Pakistan's batting which has already had two crappy games against Canada and New Zealand where they were all out for under 200. As for the bowling there's ISN'T much difference in both teams.

Not true- we have been heavily reliant on top order so lets not call all batting strong Our bowling is definitely way weaker then them I just hope we don't have a 3-4 wkt crash against Gul-Akhtar or a collapse against spin later on cos that can make it one sided

I expect Boom Boom to score 100+ runs and take 5+ wickets.

Can't rule out. His wild slogs and our brainless bowling go hand in hand.

yeah but they r in form.even our batting depends on Sachin/Sehwag/UV buts the support that Kohli/Gambhir/Raina have been giving that makes the batting formidable. similarly thier bowling depend on Afridi/Gu; but Razzaq/Riaz/Ajmal n even Hafeez have been playing support roles wel.thats what distinguishes the bowling n make thiers formidablel

Well, I agree that their bowling is better but not by a huge margin. I don't think their bowling would be preceived as good as it is if they had been playing in the likes of Group B where teams like Ireland/Bangla/Netherlands are even capable of putting up 250 plus on a batting track. At the same time if India had to bowl against the likes of Zim/Kenya/Canada and then the Windies in the Quarters instead of Australia then our bowling would look much better than it is now.
