The West Indies are in all sorts now, 69-5, make that 69-6
the fat lady is getting warmed up in Afridi's dressing room
-
Poor batting display by the Windies, would have been more of a challenge if it was Pak Vs Ban
-
Dreadful by the Windies, they're making Afridi look unplayable, when he's a fairly mediocre bowler
-
71-7 now
-
even making the fake Saqlain(Ajmal) look like a world beater
-
8 now - with the worst tail in the cup.

Chanderpaul to get a ton....

Could be India v Pak semi. What a game that would be Jeet.

I would not call 20 wickets in a single world cup being mediocre

he's taken 11 wickets vs the minnows...
-
So all the other bowlers have bowled against them it's not like only he has bowled at them and no one else has taken that many minnows in both groups
-
Jeet - why don't you like Afridi? - he is great value, I think his bowling is really difficult to hit with good variation, his leadership got them past Aus - and Pak are the only team to beat Aus at a world cup for ages... as for his batting - which is more miss than hit these days - but when it is hit... bring it on!!!

I'll be staggerred if the wicket isn't:-
1 turning square from ball one
2.the slowest lowest deck seen in this world cup

and the specially minted coin was designed so that India won the toss ;)
but the pitch will be a massive slow bunsen - and why not!

For me he is box office. dont take a backward step and has a heart. But usually lacking a brain.
-
Afridi has the quickest, faster ball than any other spinner in the world.
I'm sure you guys have seen this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMAzD5kfmWw

Brilliant exactly what you are looking in a player as a neutral. Obviously he would drive me nuts if he was playing for England... and would certainly never get allowed near the captaincy... did someone say Freddie was an England skipper? I don't remember that (cough).

I'll be amazed if the pitch is a square turner in Ahmedabad, normally very flat and good for batting.

Over rated village idiot

hahahahah that may be why i love watching him - that and his self proclaiming messiah wicket celebrations!
-
top effort from the Windies there 112 in 43 overs. At least they got the recall of Chanders right, albeit at a strikerate of 41.5. It's the only thing they did get right by the looks of it.
-
Windies should've played Shiv vs England and India. He's the glue in their batting line up
-
Pakistan's bowling attack is very strong. If their batters can hold it together they have a good chance in this World Cup.
-
Gul is arguably the best seamer in one day cricket at the moment, and there's no denying Afridi is bowling very well. Other than that I'm not too sure about their attack, their all capable but also capable of getting smashed all round the park as happened against NZ. Riaz in particular is a weak link.
-
Ajmal is a top spinner as well - looking forward to seeing him turn his arm for worcs.

Can't be that good, he's not evey been first choice for half the tournament.
-
They have quite a few match winners. Razzaq can destroy u on his day for example. Ajmal for me is a very wily customer. Difficult to pick him.
-
In these Sub continent conditions they will be a force to be reckoned with

Could be perhaps they kept him for knockout stage, before World Cup in a interview he said he has a new delivery will be be out in world cup so revealing that in the knockout stage is smartest thing to do...

What rubbish, he's not Saqlain that he can keep inventing new deliveries.
He wasn't selected as Afridi likes having Rehman as he can bowl with the new ball and is a better fielder and batsman

There is an interview available on internet where he said it not sure if Leo would allow me to post its link.
Hafeez bowled with new bal would say better than Rehman so I don't see Rehman coming back.
Either way Ajmal, Murali and Swann are the three of best spinners in the world cup at the moment.
-
Ajmal realy????
I would still say Vettori is up there and much better than Ajmal when he is fit
-

-
ob current form i would rather have sullimanmoutain Benn than Ajmal
-
I don't mind if all the Pakistan players are rubbish if they perform as they have performed in the world cup (barring Kamran of course).

Ashwin was better than Ajmal....

agreed there Ashwin does look good but i still feel the best finger spinners in the world are Swann and Vettori
-
ajmal's a chucker anyway
-

I personally don't rate Swann and we'll see what SL do to him on Saturday. He was found wanting vs India.
Vettori is the best in limited overs, streets ahead in a pretty average side as well.

Agreed on Vettori, but disagree on Swann, would take him over everybody else with the exception of Vettori!

you seen to share a lot of my opinions, i like you tumo
-
India top order bar Tendulkar were found wanting Vs England though
I would also take Swann over the last 2 years you even you Jeet must agree his record has been nothing sort of brilliant
-

It's only my opinion I didn't expect any one to agree with me
-

Against Swann? I think not. 9-1-59-1 and even Yuvraj didn't struggle vs Swann. Yuvraj is village vs spin...
-
I think England will win the World Cup always have i see no team to be scared of
In fact i would go to say Sri Lanka will be out toughest test
In truth i looking forward to India coming here i think you bubble Jeet might burst

I just have a lot of opinions! Someone's bound to agree with some of them ;)

Same was said when India went to SA, India will lose 3 tests, 5 odi's and the t20, didn't pan out that way did it?
-

Prove it!!!!!
-
Prove it!!!!!
anyone can see he throws it, his arm comes over bent then he throws it. i dont know why the ICC let players get away with it
-
All off spinners that bowl the doosra wear long sleeved shirts to hide their guilt...
-
At the end of the day a few bowlers look like the chuck it but if they pass the icc test then they are legal to bowl so that is the bottom line
-
I think, Botha chucks.. :)
-
Second 1/4 final today, Austraila win the toss and bat. They've finally ditched Steven Smith for David Hussey.
Dhoni has finally seen the light and ditched Yusuf Pathan, I'd have Raina just for his fielding.
Finally which skipper will receive their P45 today?
-
My money's on Australia in this game although i want India to win
-
Looks like ponting has saved it for the big games, how on earth does Cameron White warrant a place in the side?! baffled.
-
White's gone the most improved player in limited overs cricket for Oz into a liability
-
Indeed, I was surprised to see Smith dropped instead of White as he's a very good hitter to come in for the powerplays. Especially the way that they've played so far anyway.
-
Well I suppose White is 3rd in command behind Punter and Clarke, so they're keeping faith in White

So you know more about rules than ICC?
I suggest ICC to go home so you can take over..
-
White is terrrible and I dont know why he hasnt been dropped. Smith got wickets against Englands in the 7 one day series, Hussey got runs and wickets. White didnt do anything and now in the WC his top score is like 20, he should be dropped. If Aus were to win and White gets a 100, my opinion wont change as he shouldnt of been there after game 1
-
India will still chase this down comfortably. Australias attack does not suit this pitch. 40 Overs of pace through Johnson, Tait, Lee and Watson wont scare the Indian batsman too much who bowled close to 40 overs of spin.
-
Meanwhile Sehwag should of been out first over. The first replay showed the edge and then for every other replay they decided to show it in fast motion from behind.
-
Smith should have been playing and Australia should have mainly bowled with Smith, Krezja, Clarke and Hussey.
Pitch is slow so fast bowlers become really easy to play/
-
anyone else see the BAS letters on the back of Tendaulker's helmet?

Apparently he has family terms with them..

Oops I didn't see it but uknsaunders is the original owner of that idea...
-
What did you say? Its hardly ground breaking stuff this pitch was going to be slow and turning from ball one. The wickets have been strategically prepared to suit India and there friends.
Theyve gone out of there way to prepare decks which are doing more than turning. Australia were never a chance in this world cup once that became evident and England are probably in the same boat, all be it to a lesser degree. Pitches have never turned like this in one day matches in India. All the BCCI associated teams seemed to come prepared for it, even South Africa seemed to bring a plethora of spinners.
-
Just saw the Kholi's bat has the "GM now" part on his bat, so his bat must be a GM
-
well I assume it is anyway

Why shouldn't India prepare pitches that suit them? It's called home advantage...
-

Just because the ICC have passed his action doesnt mean he doesnt throw it, they changed the rules for murali, so they can't really stop now can they? You're only arguing because you support pakistan anyway
-

I believe he was using one of Kumble's old Catalysts a while ago
-
Village running between Gambhir & Yuvraj.
-
Gambhir seemed desperate to give Oz his wicket, two missing run out chances, but never mind Gambhir made it 3rd time lucky.
-
never seen anything like it
-
Whether a player throws or not if the icc pass the action as legal that's the end of it we can have opinions which everyone is entitled to but the governing body have said it ok so fair play
Regarding the pitches preparing pitches that suit the home team in a test or odi series has been going on for years but to do it for a world cup is not really on IMO but that's just me
-
End is in sight of Dhoni's spell as captain...
-

As long as ALL the pitches prepared for the tournament are of the same style (i.e. the one that suits the hosts), not just the ones for the matches of the hosts, then I don't see it as a problem. Everyone gets to play on it and get some level of used to it.
-
Gawd I love you Indian fans, it seems to be a 50/50 time split between being massively defensive if anyone else says something about your team, and being incredibly critical of them yourselves!

last 15 ODIs Dhoni has struggled to get the ball of the square. Time for change
-
It just seems some of the pitches have been prepared to be ultra slow to nullify the pace attack of the non asain teams but hey you have to learn to play against spin some time in your life ;)

Mohali and Bangalore had pace in the pitches.
Places like Chennai, Columbo, Motera etc are very hot and the Sun dries them out.
-
Looks like it will be India's batting versus Pakistan bowling. India have never lost to Pak in a WC tournament. It looks like being a cracker.
-
Not that much pace but Indian pitches tend to be batting roads or turners anyway as that's what fans want apparently loads of runs

the power play is what we are all waiting for... !

Barring a miracle I think it's over but stranger things have happened I suppose
-

no!!! India will lose!!
-
If India lose from this situation, they should give up cricket. The aussies are a spent force.
-
Against Swann? I think not. 9-1-59-1 and even Yuvraj didn't struggle vs Swann. Yuvraj is village vs spin...
Didn't Singh have pretty similar figures to Swanns in that match?
-
Didn't Singh have pretty similar figures to Swanns in that match?
Probably but I don't think Harbhajan is 'World Class'
-
Australia isnt a spent force!
On a different note, is any of the gear that Yuvraj is using actualy Reebok??? SS bat, Bas Gloves and the pads look like SG to me.
-
Some balls on the lad to play that shot in the given situation...
-
Sorry Langer. . .dont mean to be rude or offensive, but all good things come to an end.
Hayden, Gilchrist, Langer, Warne, McGrath were all time greats.
This new lot aint much cop in my opinion.
260 was never going to be enough, i thought Ponting could have been a bit more positive against the spinners.
-
The dream semi final is imminent. Glad I took the afternoon off work to watch this!
Yuvraj seems to have toned down on the arrogance and and just get on with the job!
-
How rubbish have Australia bowled today? Shaun Tait in particular has been awful. Fair play to India though, despite some wobbles Yuvraj and Raina have done very well
-
What a run chase! This was like Yuvraj off old, India's best finisher. Masterstroke to play Raina over Yusuf. Raina must've saved over 20 runs in the field alone. 3 sub continent WCs and 3 semi finals for India, hopefully go into the final this time.
-
Good win for India,
Aus just didn't have a good enough spin attack to win this game/WC.
-
I think Pakistan will win the World cup now.
Aus were rubbish today, with the exception of Ponting
-
Yeah this is going to be one hell of a semi final lets hope the real Pakistan show up and fight as Imran Kahn described like a Tiger backed into a corner!!!! It should be one hell of a match and hopefully unite the nation of Pakistan and bring some good out of the tournament. Also good old Ricky boy!!! You cant keep a Tasmanian down even if they do have two heads lol!!! (Sorry guys only aussies will get that one) But what a blast from the past good to see old Ricky back on top form!! Whats the odds on him making it to another ashes series !!?
-
@100 not out - Entitled to your opinon, mine just differs from yours.
I do agree though, I thought Aus would have been a bit more aggressvie but what can you do when you have White in your team.
-
India vs Pakistan match in the world cup was bound to happen...
-
I bet the sponsors and advertisers are doing back flips with the possibilities for advertising etc
-
Lets be fair, the aussie bowlers gave India back the extra runs that they let through in the field, plus some!

Pakistan

Yesterday when Pakistan won Imran Khan wanted an India-Pakistan Semi Final because he said India will be under pressure because of following three reasons;
Home Ground/Crowd
Playing Pakistan
Semi Final
-
Im going with a Sril Lanka vs. Pakistan final.
-
No drops, two misfields - when Australia made more errors than India. Superb in the field. Raina and Kohli where magnificent.

India vs South Africa final

I'm guessing that Sri Lanka just got a fair few more fans about 5 mins ago

Imran was the master of mind games and the was playing a few yesterday. Imran was probably trying to detract from the fact that Pakistan have never beaten India in the WC....
-
Haha, to your surprise no. I wanted Australia to go well, but in the poll which is on here I picked Sri Lanka to win it.

I'd hope Raina and Kohli are good, they're the only reliable fielders India have got!
India were fairly clinical today, Nobody stood up for the Aussies apart from Ponting, Haddin to an extent and Lee (Lee always plays like a champion to be fair, by far my favourite Aussie!), whereas India had 4 or 5 men do the business in one area or another today. Ind-Pak semi, and (As much as I hate to say it) SL-SA semi, I reckon this could get good...
-
Pretty hard to have a go at David Husseys performance.
-
I'd hope Raina and Kohli are good, they're the only reliable fielders India have got!
Raina and Kohli are more than reliable, both are World class. If they played for anyone else they would be acknowledged as World class fielders.
-
Raina is still susceptible to the short ball.

I'd prefer Kohli to Raina as a fielder, couldn't tell you why though. Considering the standards we have at the moment (not as many good fielders as there used to be) I'd say they were world class. But currently, that doesn't say a great amount.
-
Raina is still susceptible to the short ball.
Not get cop to many in India though, so he should be ok
-
Where can I watch decent higlights guys?
-
on bbc2?
-
no activity? - let's start it all off with the magic word - chokers?
Discuss.
-
a couple more wickets and its red rover.
what was that arguement about? just caught the end of it.
-
Great catch by Oram followed by some real dumb cricket.
If the Saffers keep their nerve here they should still be in with a strong chance, wouln't bet on them doing so though.
-
Botha out - looks like another 4 years use of the "C" word.
-
JP Duminy is rubbish. Can't play short pitched bowling. Clueless against spin bowling. He's the reason the colapse started.
-
Interesting stat ESPN showed there, SA have played 4 knock out WC games before today and won 0.

Duminy's wold hack got NZs tail up though

Vettori v Steyn is the matchup NZ need here.
-
was that the best game of the world cup so far??? or am I just being biased!!!
-
Good game indeed and well done NZ top draw.
I still maintain whoever wins the Eng vSL game will win the world cup
Jacob Oram on his day is some cricketer
-
Best game of the world cup no just pick any of englands games ;)
-
If we had New Zealand work ethic and desire we might be better.
If somebody other than us to win it i hope New Zealand do
-
Winner will be India or Pakistan.
I'd love NZ to reach the final. John Wright would be first coach to reach two finals with two different teams.
-
Best game of the world cup no just pick any of englands games ;)
Eng vs Ireland??? lol
-
India vs England AND India vs SA.
-
Canada v EGYPT sorry Kenya
-
New Zealand are my second favourite team, if england lose tomorrow i will be their new biggest fan
-
likewise, new zealand are my second team, love the country
-
New Zealand may not have the best players in the World, but they certainly have one of the best coaches the games ever seen.
John Wright is so mentally strong and he has now managed to pass this on to both International sides sides he has coached.
-
I have a theory that the world cup being held in India is actually a disadvantage to the Indian team. You see, that the other teams have all now been in India for over a month has caused their performances and skill levels to improve due to the phenomenon as 'rubbing off'. This happens when lesser, opposing teams come into contact (less that 1000 nautical miles) of the mighty Indian team* (blessed be the ground they tread on) and due to the Indian team being so much better than any other, their pure skill actually rubs off on the other teams. It's kind of like drinking sea water. Like water, skill travels from high to low concentrations.
So after a month, due to their extended proximity, all visiting teams are now more skilled at not only cricket, but at making tv ads which are shown every 6 seconds for some kind of dodgy spiritous liquor. Thus, by being so much better than the rest, the Indians have actually disadvantaged themselves by being so good.

Toss is very critical. Chasing under lights is tough in Columbo, plus dew will nullify spinners.
-
The only teams for some reason I can't see winning the World Cup are Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
-
I can sense a England Victory
-
whos poo pooing my NZ shout now?
-
i think England will pull off a win against their form thus far as they have scrapped through so far!
-
Me Thomas the England steamroller is coming
-
Pure speculation but if India reach the final they will win. If Pakistan reach the final they will beat New Zeland or Srilanka but not England. Again this is just a hunch not based on any cricketing merit.
-
for me the winner will come from either England or Sri Lanka whoever wins tomorrow will win the world cup
New Zealand have done well but will get found out by either England or Sri Lanka
India are good but not unbeatable

Sorry but SL are over rated and stand a slim chance of beating India or Pakistan in India. Murali and co aren't very good in India.
england beating SL would be a minor miricle, let alone beating India in Mumbai

if we win the toss i want us to bowl first and think we have a chance.
India do not fear me or England we have meet before and did well.

England played out off their skin and only managed a tie. India where poor, there's pretty more to come from India
-
Jeet i admire your love of your country and your knowledge of crickinfo is good very good.
But did England realy play out of there skin ???
Bar Strauss i would not have said.
-
the team that will win it need to come into form in these stages....hopefully England have been so far under par yet managed to get through that tomorrow will be their day to come off!
-
It is anybody but to dismiss England is a danger
I bet the Indian side have not dismissed England
And remember there a small matter of Pakistan for India and if England win a tough encounter with a good outfit in the NZ

Bangalore was a road, Mumbai won't be anything like that. If India rack up 338 there, the result is a forgone conclusion.
In Bangalore, even Ireland looked like the best side in the World,..

Thats because Ireland are the best side in the world 8)

hold on I though both sides had to bat on the same wicket.....
What if England rack up 350 is it a forgone conclusion.
Make no mistakes your favourites but to think your streets ahead is just crazy.
I remember the 20/20 world cup once again India will do this do that i know it different but England have the experiance of knockout matches and world cup semi and finals
Then again i could be sat here tomorrow crying in my soup

On a turning pitch in Mumbai no side in the World would score 300+ vs India

Jeet on a serious note were do you get all your information not about pitches but about all the players and such.
You sre Uk based right???

Really? Bold statement there Jeet, not entirely true either. Harbhajan's not what he used to be, and Ashwin's fairly inexperienced. I'd back a decent amount of sides to score 300+ against India, the bowling line-up is average. You've got one very good bowler in Zaheer, and a poor second seamer in Munaf/Ashish, it doesn't matter who bowls. The fifth bowler can also be attacked quite well, and Bhaji/Ashwin would have to really be on their game.

The great Australian side couldn't so why would SL, Eng or NZ? I'm not mentioning Pak as ind and Pak both can't meet in the final.
Harbhajan may be crap but on a turning pitch he's still unplayable. Ashwin has proven in IPL how good he is against world class overseas players.
Scoring 300 on a flat pitch is easy. Its much harder on green tops oe square turners.

Hate? Please show where I have ever put I hate England or Strauss, Bell, trott etc
-
nothing wrong with supporting your team
I admire your love of the team and like the Indian team
As per usual Jeet this forum is richer for your knowledge mate
Good luck to India mate for
Ashwin is good but inexperianced agree he has a big future and i'am told he can bat as well
Rp steady there Jeet is just a crazy cricket nut mate and India mad nothing wrong with it at all fair play
-

Well you slate them all the time and go on about how much better india are.

Remarkably Ashwin was an opener and somehow became a spinner.
-
any pitch is a leveller as the players should be good enuff to score runs on any wicket if they are worth their salt!
boils down to who performs on the pitch at the end of the day! the better side will come out on top simples

I herd that somewhere looking forward to India coming to England and get one last look at the master

Great? They're dreadful! Half of their side genuinely cannot buy a run! SL play spin better, for the most part, than Indians (Ajantha Mendis anyone?), And I'd like to think NZ and Eng could push them all the way to 300. Ashwin's still got a way to go, before he's a world beater. Harbhajan can be a handful, but if he drops it short like he's liable to do, he will go the distance.

The Master at the home of cricket...well in my eyes anyway lol!!!

You misunderstood me, I meant the awesome Oz sides from the 90s threw to late 00s!
Not the current side!
Mendis is no treat to India. He's been found out. In his first 10 games vs India he took 23 wickets at 9. Since then he has 7 wickets at 80 odd.

I have a question
If India are all out for 100 in the semi or final how many fans will still be in the ground
Poor supporters Jeet they do not applaud good cricket that is one thing nobody can argue.

I pray that doesn't happen, as Mohali is a beautiful stadium and Punbaji's are known to be hot headed, and there may not be much left off it!

Good points ..
-
what you doing on here REDS you should be smashed now in some gutter
-
Didn't the fans boo when ponying got his 100, extremely poor form if that was the case!

I can assure you Punter got a standing ovation for his hundred.
Indians don't like him but they where won around yesterday.

Really? I was at TB when he smashed us all over the place in 09, and not a single person (Barmy Army included) booed him! And they're quite harsh on convicts! People should applaud a top knock, even if it is Punter!

I was too busy to watch it yesterday this was just what I read on twitter so hence the reason I haven't stated it as a fact
-
How many runs do u think India will score in the semi. lets face it this world cup hasnt produced a run fest. i think the bowling strength is what matters on these tracks, based on what ive seen anyway.

He was booed at the presentation, but you all wqys get a few idiots at every sport.

Every day that passes, the pitches will become tougher to score on. I have no sympathy for the batsmen, I don't wanna see 400 plays 400.

so, England out! no surprise really, game netted me £87.50 from a £1 pound bet, and if Bresnan had taken one wicket I would have had £470... arghhhh
