England vs India at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham

[masterchief_mirza]

Simple thing is.. India is not that side which only loses when it wants to..

And to be honest, if they have reached to that level, better we don't face them again..

Besides, what is the benefit for India to not face Pakistan again? Wouldn't that be more joyful for Indians to beat Pakistan in the semis again?

Maybe the 10% chance we would win is too much risk for them. I agree with you that manipulation is in the air, at the very least by virtue of the fixture list. But I still feel I would prefer not to face them and return home with some pride. If Aus or eng bat first against them, India will lose.

If Pakistan gets out of this WC...........Imam ul haq, Inzimam. Hafeez, shoaib malik, and other PCB selectors, officials must be thrown out at all costs.

Damn, Imran Khan, just do this

Inzimam is the kuttay ki dum.. he should be thrown out as soon as possible.. just to make a place for his favorites, all of them finished the career of Fawad Alam citing "incorrect technique" problem in him.. no one looked at his scores.. Technique ka achaar daalnay hai agar imam aur malik runs na karsakain?

No!! NZ had 11 points and even if they lost to England they will be through with better run aggregate than Pakistan(if Pakistan beat BD and get 11 points)...so this seems to be the plan.

Run rate difference is not much and England will go hard at New Zealand

There is something wrong with in the team. Even in the match against Afghanistan, Dhoni had no intent to hit a boundary. Only after major booing from crowd did he try to hit and got himself stumped. I didn't think much then thinking he is trying not to expose our tail. But today it is inexcusable, there is no intention to hit the ball even when required run rate reached 12-13. It seems its time for him to hang his boots. India deliberately (at least Dhoni) lost this match.

Starting to think India wants to have England face off against aussies so they have to play only one top tier team..

India wants to play NZ as they believe that’s the weaker of the three between aus, eng and NZ.

Aus vs eng...one of the teams gets eliminated..
India gets the slightly weaker opponent and saves its juice for the final..

Maybe that was the game plan..
Not to mention the ICC thing with the host nation in the semis

Then thats pathetic attitude , Australia won 2003 world cup undefeated , attitude should be to win all the matches
28-1 in 10 overs where we lost the match ,

Basit Ali live on tv clearly saying it was intentional :d... Bashing Indian performance

India will surely not win this cup.. Australia is the team to watch for.. Its players have regained form at the right time..

 

[terry5]

Nopes.. Pakistan run rate is low so Pakistan will be out if England wins against NZ by a close margin.. In our case.. the margin is huge.. we are @ -0.7 something

I’ll post the scenario soon It’s possible .

 

[Peshwa]

This was some real pussy shit from this Indian team...
Winning the World Cup unbeaten has its own charm..this cloak and dagger crap doesn’t sit well with me.

Basit ali is a pagal aadmi..

Let me tell you what I have noticed as a weakness in the Indian team. The Indian team needs to work on middle and lower order scoring more runs. India has a top class batting openers, but they rely too much on them. Everyone has to chip in. Further on in the tournament this could be a problem for India.

That's exactly where Englishmen and Aussies are better.

Thats understandable , our tail is so shit , cant even hold bat. Better to play it safe rather than risk getting out. Look at Aussies even Starc can hit you , no bowler from our team can hit or bat

Yup I said same earlier.

India deliberately lost today in the end to play NZ. It was control batting by Indians as their target was always to cross 280 and thats it. They never went for 338.

If this whole thing is LAGAAN movie...

Indians offered their butts to Goras for fucking only in jealousy of Pakistan.

Just like below guy..........Indians are actually this guy....jallu admi against Amir Khan

Indian forefathers joined hands with British and started conspirating against Muslims, hence Pakistan was created.

How surreal
