The Cricket Society III

lol last time Gauti was captain he forgot to signal the bowling powerplay.

haha,
pakistan are complete idiots, they are stupid not to improve from where they messed up last match.. and the match before.
England played well though.

i hope they don't play this sh*t in t20's.

Confused. Are you an England fan?

I think they weren't very well prepared this year, they DO have potential, but they've blown their chances by making silly decisions.

Allow that fam, why you thinking about then, we might be dead then you never know




Yesh

Why did you do that face like it's something to be embarrassed about?

Because all of you lot are Pakistan/Indian Supporters, and you might stone me or something.
Plus i'm an ethnic minority, therefore people usually expect me to support an ethnic team, so when i usually tell them i support England, they think i'm some sort of coconut

Tendulkar needs to go. I don't care if he is left stranded on 99 centuries.

LOL I thought that was the reason after seeing your username.
Ahh well, it's understandable, I know quite a few Asians that support England before Pakistan/India.

I am a huge Sachin fan, as every Indian is. Today he was injured and i think that is the reason why he looked very uncomfortable at the crease. I still believe that if we are going to win the CB series we need Sachin to perform as the rest of the batting order is failing with the exception of Dhoni and Gambhir. The batting order should change and gauti should play at 3 with Sachin and Sehwag opening. that way we have stability at number 3

Just out of interest why is that happening? Like Sachin and Sehwag opening with Gambhir one down just like in the WC?

Still think Indias ODI team is excellent and Pakistan could learn a few things from them.

The only reason is because they want Rohit Sharma to have a chance to cement his place in the ODI team and by doing this they are rotating the top 3 and giving the youngsters in the middle order a chance to prove themselves for the WC in 2015. I guess thats good because they are looking towards the future but the youngsters have failed consistently and they havent changed them at all which is not great.
Yeah India are a great ODI team and i think thats greatly because of MS Dhoni as he is such an amazing ODI batsmen, i think that we could learn a lot from the pakistan test team.

I think they should be rotating the youngsters as well. Since Raina is out of form maybe they could bring in Manoj Tiwary, who scored a century in his last ODI. Also I really don't see all the hype around Rohit Sharma. If India make it to the finals, they better leave him out and play the Sachin, Sehwag and Gauti.

Oh well thats a pretty good idea. In fact it's brilliant. The thing is if you're losing it's with the youngsters who can only get better I assume.
Dhoni is just ... He could go on to be the second greatest ODI batsman ever (after Sir Viv of course).

Lol, depends on what you think about when calling someone great, but I doubt Dhoni will ever exceed Sachin. The 175 against Australia comes to my mind first, along with Razzaq's 109, when I think about last-man-standing efforts.

That Sachin innings was amazing, there are many people who are one hit wonders and Dhoni needs to prove that hes more than that, but in saying that he has an average of 50+ i think and hes a wicket keeper so that must be one of the best wicket keeper batsmen ever.

One hit wonder? Dhoni? lol, he's proved his worth to India many times. The World Cup Final rings a bell. Amongst the top 10 in ODIs of all time already for me.

He is definately more than a one hit wonder, we won the world cup because of gauti and kohli it was there partnership that got us into a good partnership.
Dhoni had no need to come in ahead of Yuvi, it wasnt as if we were in a terrible position. Everyone forgets that it was gauti that was stable for us in the world cup final and not only dhoni.

It was the performance of a true champion. I'm Pakistani by the way. There's no downplaying Dhoni's performance, even if chasing 275 wasn't as big a deal then as it used to be 10 years ago.

It was a great performance, no doubt. and he showed after that, that he is a great leader and batsmen.
