Guldozer Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Apparently Dhoni said in the press conference that the Indian world cup record against Pakistan is good but no point thinking about it, because Pakistan has dominated India overall. Can someone confirm this? Link to comment

Can someone confirm this? I just checked it's on Cricinfo. So I wonder how many people here would disagree with their world cup winning captain. :giggle: Link to comment

So I wonder how many people here would disagree with their world cup winning captain. :giggle: like i said before to me this record means nothing but clearly it has psychological factor now which gives us advantage and there is no denying in most big matches we do better because of that.. like all streaks its fun to see it get bigger and bigger and with each game more pressure on pakistan so thats what i like about it ..

Agreed. That is the best way to put it. But my problem is with those who will die but never admit that Pakistan has histroically dominated India. :--D Link to comment

Texan Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Send them to us....we will fire them :D Coming from Pakistan, I would be very apprehensive about lighting any fireworks. Link to comment
jonas10 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Pakistanis just dont get it. Guys like Dhawan dont care during their BS friendlies. But come the big matches they all play to win with temperament. Pakistan just can never beat India in big match situations. Theyll win a war before they win a world cup match. Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 :hysterical: Star Sports really did troll Pakis there. There is a a "one tip one hand" show in StarSports. It's a fun watch..totalling trolling esp Pak Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Keep saying that to yourself to make yourself feel better. Seriously though, how is some Kitply cup when half the team doesn't even turn up and the other half is thinkig about IPL important to anyone? I think you are the one who keeps trying to make yourself feel better, thinking of the glory of the Sharjah days. Currently at worst the results are evenly matched outside world cup despite most of the current players playing too much cricket to care about Kitply cups. But the world cup domination continues Link to comment

But the world cup domination continues :hysterical: Let them have their micromax series. As long as India dominates them when the whole world is watching it goes to show how irrelevant those games are. The fact that they look at overall record shows how badly they need to fish for a silver lining as a coping mechanism every 4 years. Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 now everyone is latching on to dhoni's comment where says one day India will lose to Pak and they have a good record overall Dhoni is master at diffusing tension by not letting undue pressure come on the team and reduce the fear of losing.

AmreekanDesi Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Stupid Dhoni had to say those things and couldnt let us savor this victory And now all the Pakis who would quote that stupid overall record before can forever add Dhoni's comments abt its importance and historical domination Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Has anyone seen the follow up ad? Guys dressed in South Indian clothes come to Indian house and give them crackers reminding them of SA's unbeaten record against India in world cups Link to comment
NareshK Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The overall record for Pakistan is only good because they had a good team in 90s and used to win in Sharjah which is basically like a home ground for them. Head to head over the last 15 years is pretty much even with India winning all the big games which matter. Anybody will take wins in World Cup which will always be remembered and not some random ODIs. Who are the Pak fans kidding ? Link to comment
Bumper Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hilarious ad and thread! Funny how, Gulldozer et al have to clutch at straws & point to the overall stats to prove that Pakistan is a better ODI team. Have you bothered to understand why ? Pakistan had a better ODI team than India in the 1987-2000 period, during which time approx 50% of the Ind-Pak ODIs were played. During this time the stats read: Games played - 60, Pak won - 38, Ind won - 19, NR - 3. And a fair no. of these games were played in Sharjah (tainted by fixing and biased umpiring). However India is clearly the better team since 2006 when Dhoni & co came into the team. In this period the stats read: Games played - 25, Ind won - 15, Pak won - 10. Due to geo-political issues India and Pakistan simply have not played enough ODI cricket in the period of Indian domination. Otherwise you won't have much to gloat in terms of overall win-loss record. Even if we are talking overall stats, outside Asia India has a better record. But all this is moot. What matters is the world cups & champions trophy. Other ODI games are there to merely make up the numbers. That said, this is the worst Pakistani team i have seen in a world cup. It was not as much fun to beat this *****y team. The win that i enjoyed the most was the 1996 quarter finals. That was more of a David vs Goliath contest and yet India won! Link to comment
