Sean Bradley Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 My brother in law. He left for Lanka last night with his friends. He will attend the games against Pakistan and South Africa. And they might extend their stay and watch the semis and the final too. We're winning the tournament. You heard it here first. Its only a formality, the guy has a 100% record from 10 intl matches. We're going to win the next 2, and then the semis and the finals too. I'm not even going to watch the games and waste my time. The outcome is certain, our victory is inevitable. Chewtiya banane ki machine :facepalm:
rkt.india Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Does not matter..wont make much difference..even in WC Sehwag's 38 didnt make much of a difference but drop catches of SRT and Rainas innings at the end. We wouldnt have been anywhere if SRT catches werent dropped and Raina hadnt scored quick fire in the end.
rkt.india Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 After what happened in the last game' date=' Sehwag will surely find a place in the starting XI. I'd have Sehwag in the team regardless. He's such an impact player especially in t20's where a good start is quite important.[/quote'] Impact player in T20. You must be kidding.
Tiger-Don Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 He is a must vs Pakistan! cmon pick him! dont disappoint me & him./
Robelinda Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 LOL, no spinner? Our 41 year old spinner is fitter than all of the Indian team combined.
jonas10 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 "Sehwag must play" Yup...after all 8 runs aint gonna get themselves.
zep1706 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I would rather take this choke to India's abject surrender. TBH I would be more disappointed if India had gifted a sure win to the opposition like that which is exactly what they did. Pakistan were completely out of the game till 15th over. Then came the ----- C H O K E :haha:
veer Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Arre bhai log veeru is definitely playing tomorrow .. Kyun Itna soch rahe ho??
Robelinda Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Well, ive been watching SA choke since 1991, and they are the masters of it. Funny how the shorter 20 over format just makes their chokes even more laughable, in that they *still* manage to choke in such a short space of time. I got into a big argument with a South African journalist over the number of matches that they have choked over the years, i said 86, he laughed at me and said it was more likely around 60. No joke! I laughed my backside off, SIXTY ISNT GOOD YOU CHOKING SAFFER! Imagine choking in 60 matches and then not accepting you have a choking problem.

Tiger80 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 LOL' date=' no spinner? Our 41 year old spinner is fitter than all of the Indian team combined.[/quote'] He is not a match winner.Can you rely on him on any bad day
Trichromatic Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 He is not a match winner.Can you rely on him on any bad day He can do his job.
Tiger80 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 It was not a choke, really just a bad tactical decision. If anything they were too casual. Agree with it.That was not choke.Earlier SA was such a strong team that beating them seems to be impossible to beat.Now hardly anybody say that
Ram Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 It will be an interesting exercise to find out how many people who are now clamoring for Sehwag's inclusion in the team had the same view just before ball 1 of the Ind-Aus match was bowled. :winky: Hindsight is not just 20/20, it can see thru walls and around street corners even!
veer Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 My prediction is veeru will play gud against Pak but will go almost blank against Africa.
saneindian Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Dhoni talked about 'horses for courses'. Hopefully that also means picking players who have better records against specific teams. That will mean picking Sehwag vs Pakistan and no place for Zaheer and Bhajji vs Pakistan. But given the kind of hullabaloo over Sehwag being dropped, I will not be surprised to see Dhoni stick with the same team as last match to try and justify how he made the right decision. Has happened in the last 2 World T20s and likely to happen again.

Its not about hindsight,Sehwag is one of very few clean ball strikers in this team,along with may be Raina(with Yuvi not at his best ATM).You just cant drop him and open with Pathan :wall:

Barring our win in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2007, we never have and never will be a good T20 team because we lack quality bowling all-rounders that every other quality T20 team possesses. Because of this fundamental weakness, this batting unit will continue to struggle to post challenging scores, especially when there's help in the pitch for the bowlers or when confronted with a quality bowling attack. We struggled in 2009 in England and 2011 in West Indies. Why should this edition be any different? Its like we know we have a mouth ulcers (lack of all-rounders), but keep applying pain-relieving ointment (shifting around openers) on our knees.
