Utalk Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 pakis think india won this bcoz the curator sprayed the outfield with acid and this eliminated the advantage of dew factor and turned the pitch into a minefield in the 2nd innings who?
Homerus_Unus Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Somewhere your English teacher from primary school is laughing at you. Really? People are more angry about "India scrap their way to Mumbai" which is what I am referring to. Try harder, mod. We surely didn't look fragmented/disconnected/at odds and ends, by any means and that cricinfo piece you quoted "Pakistan lost by 29 runs to India in Mohali in a scrappy match, in which they were generally off their game with bat, ball and, most damagingly, in the field. They were in with a chance at various stages, including when they began the chase, only to let it slip each time." ...talks of Pakistan being scrappy, as in "disjointed/fragmented/at odds and ends." We scrapped, i.e. FOUGHT our way to the final. Comprende? Your cranium called...it has space to rent.
vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 It was not overly a one-sided match. And also on the other hand Pakistan was not cruising at any stage like South Africa was against NZ in the quarter finals.

Misread that paragraph to have been referring to India.
cowboysfan Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 All I will say is that our batsmen are saving their best for the final.
Homerus_Unus Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Point taken. The euphoria hasn't settled in yet' date=' I guess! Misread that paragraph to have been referring to India.[/quote'] Obviously, we weren't chasing and neither did we let it slip away. And we were better with the bat, ball, and on the field.
21cent Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Well compared to SL's domination against England and NZ. Yes, this is a scrappy victory, aided by lousy Pakistani fielding.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Well compared to SL's domination against England and NZ. Yes, this is a scrappy victory, aided by lousy Pakistani fielding. was it scrappy compared to sri lanka's victory against them in the group stages? :--D and ur standards for 'domination' must be pretty low, if u think your nervous win against a pathetic NZ team was dominating...
Homerus_Unus Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Well compared to SL's domination against England and NZ. Yes, this is a scrappy victory, aided by lousy Pakistani fielding. I wish there was a facepalm emoticon on these boards. Is there one?
Roshanrocks Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 people are confusing scrappy with crappy :hehe:
vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Well compared to SL's domination against England and NZ. Yes, this is a scrappy victory, aided by lousy Pakistani fielding. domination against NZ? :cantstop: Hardly. That match was much closer than this one. In this case India was all over Pakistan after first 10 overs.
21cent Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 A victory where tendulakar was dropped 4 times is definetly a scrappy victory AKA fluke instead of a dominating victory.
vvvslaxman Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 A victory where tendulakar was dropped 4 times is definetly a scrappy victory AKA fluke instead of a dominating victory. Do you recall Pakistan missed 3 or 4 stumpings against you. It is not our fault they are crappy fielding. It is not like Pakistan is going to take those catches on another day. We also gave them atleast 3 or 4 lives through missed catch, run out, stumping. :winky:
Homerus_Unus Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 A victory where tendulakar was dropped 4 times is definetly a scrappy victory AKA fluke instead of a dominating victory. Scrappy =/= Fluke, doofus! Open up a fookin' dictionary.
Homerus_Unus Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Scrappy is good. The headline is complimentary. Thank goodness....someone gets it!!
Hindustani Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 low scoring matches often look scrappy, I will take a low scoring scrappy match over a one sided match any time. I won't call this a scrapy victory as pakistan were always chasing India, both when bowling and batting and really never had an upper hand but the match was very close and India never gave away the advantage.
NareshK Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 More like a thrashing victory. After they lost Afridi's wicket, they were 184-7 and they had no chance from then on. Close to 80 runs to get with 3 wickets in hand at close to 8 runs an over. Game virtually over. The batting did look scrappy though.
Lord Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 scrappy or not,we've certainly gotta be better to have any chance against SL
Sachin=GOD Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I don't give a damn as to whether this victory was scrappy or crappy - bottom line is, we're in The Final and we're winning it.
