Ramzz Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Maybe I'm alone in this but really what's the big deal? For me this match is not the all important one. The most important match is the final after we brutalize the Pakistan Players. :) +++++

vvvslaxman Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Pakistani batsman just need play easily as all indian bowlers are trundlers & pie throwers. Must have had lot of practice playing against their own bowlers in the nets :cantstop:
Stuge Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Indian media to get response in arena: Afridi "KARACHI: Pakistan cricket team captain, Shahid Afridi repulsing the criticism of Indian media, said the national team will respond to the Indian media with its performance inside the arena, Geo News reported Monday. “Rehman Malik (Interior Minister) should not have given a statement regarding matck fixing on the occasion of World Cup,†Shahid Afridi said while speaking in Geo News’ program “Score†via telephone. However, he added that players mostly prefer to speak with one another instead of listening to news or reading newspapers. He said Pakistani players are ‘quite satisfied’ in India in all respects. There is no security issue here, he added. “We will respond to the Indian media’s criticism with our performance in the stadium,†the Pakistan skipper asserted. Shahid Afridi said the players are well aware of the significance of this match and the team is well-prepared to take on India in the semi final on March 30 in Mohali. “The team’s hopes are high to defeat India,†he added. With reference to Shoaib Akhter’s inclusion in the squad, he said a decision is yet to be made. “We want Shoaib who can pull out a strong 10-over spell and not one who can last for only three-four overs,†he added.

apuk79 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 yeah i think india wants shoaib in the team given his recent mauling at the hands of ross taylor who really is not a top class batsmen at all and would never make it into a world XI
apuk79 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 india need to be wary of gul but the rest are a bunch of chuckers and throwers 6 an over is a minimum ask from them!
WC2011INDIA Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 india need to be wary of gul but the rest are a bunch of chuckers and throwers 6 an over is a minimum ask from them! stop underestimating Paki. And stop jinxing team India.
mohd_tariq Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Pakistani batsman just need play easily as all indian bowlers are trundlers & pie throwers. Thats the problem...the pie is not halal and Pakistani batsmen refuse to touch anything not halal
Asim Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Pakistani newspapers says today that team management have decided to include Shoaib. Afridi said we are considering this option and althogh final decision is not yet taken but as for as his fitness level is converned, he is completly fit...
Prakat Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 “We will respond to the Indian media’s criticism with our performance in the stadium,” the Pakistan skipper asserted. When did the Indian media criticize the pakis? He's just making all this up to psych up the crazy fans. :facepalm:
pinkfreud Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 This thread should be renamed "What Pakistani players are saying before the big match - IND - PAK". Gotta love how Team India can't even be arsed to retort. Pray on Poyz, pray on. You'll need all the luck in the world. And a lesson on how not to (try to) overcome your nervousness with senseless big talk.

Ramzz Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 India v Pakistan: Our focus is on the game, says captain MS Dhoni India's captain, MS Dhoni, has ordered his players to ignore the hype surrounding tomorrow's World Cup clash with Pakistan and focus on securing a place in the final. The last-four encounter between the sub-continent rivals has attracted huge interest in the region and will be attended by the Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, and his Pakistan counterpart, Yousuf Raza Gilani. The pressure on the tournament co-hosts to see off their greatest rivals is immense but Dhoni is determined not to let it derail his preparations. He said: "We know the kind of media hype India-Pakistan matches generate. We are not getting involved in all this. We need to know what we are expected to do and focus on that. All this is part of cricket and we have to accept it. But the key is not to get involved. "We will have the biggest distinguished guests to see the match, we have to be at our best. We all know it's a big tournament, we have prepared a lot for it and its better to take it one game at a time. We are playing the semi-finals but the most important thing is how we prepare ourselves. I think you need to prepare in the same way and that's what we have been doing for the past few days." Dhoni has under performed with the bat in the tournament so far but is adamant his struggles are not related to the added responsibility of being captain. He added: "It is only a cricketing aspect, nothing to do with form. I have been batting quite well. Sometimes the situations are not great to play flamboyant cricket. In the Bangladesh match, such a situation was there but I didn't get to bat. "If you are batting at five, six or seven you don't get to bat much if the top order scores. I think the last game [against Australia] was ideal but it [the ball] went straight to a fielder. It does not go your way always. Form has not been a worry." Pakistan's strength arguably lies in their bowling and Dhoni admitted India's powerful top-order need to be wary. "I think they are a very good bowling attack, they have got bowlers who can bowl quick and at the same time their spinners have been doing really well and they have got part-timers who can contribute," he said. "They have a couple of bowling all-rounders with [Abdul] Razzaq and [shahid] Afridi, that gives them the liberty of playing with more than five bowlers."
