We batted second, not first...

Pakistan, among the worst batting lineups in this CWC also batted 2nd against India but they weren't that woeful. Many sides have batted 2nd and done well, including the minnows. I don't get your point.

The reality is we can only bash WI if we didn't do worse than them against India, and they were fielding their first choice side like we were. The fact that we failed means it's rather unfair to target them so much. They also did better than us against Zimbabwe too(who batted 2nd both times), which says something.

Personally, I'd wait until we play Pakistan before bashing the Windies. Afterall chasing 260+ against Irfan, Wahab,Rahat Ali, Sohail Khan&Afridi, is not a lovely though I can assure you. And their batting looks to be coming along ok as the tournament progresses so they should be able to post decent target consistenly.

I think they'll lineup as Younis Khan, Shehzad, Sohail, Misbah, Maqsood, Umar, Afridi, Wahab, Sohail Khan, Ali, Irfan. Pretty solid&balanced if you ask me. We have every reason to be concerned.
 
The Windies are doing their damnedest to win this. Go lads!

Edit: just seen some eejit saying Kohli something or another :rolleyes:
 
78/4!! Game on!! Rahane a little unlucky. Caught behind, referred it immediately but given out. Snicko showed very little by way of confirmation. Where's hot spot?!
 
Commmmmmmmon windies, only need 2 more to make it game on, get dhoni and raina now!
 
Could the Windies just make this day a celebration in which we get snot-dronk?
 
For once I wouldn't actually mind being wrong on Superbru here. Would be great if WI can give India a beating, they need a bit of a confidence buster :D
 
Indians are battling. No doubt. The pace of this wicket is in complete contrast to what they used to back home.
 
I'd be amazed and thrilled if WI win this. They certainly have india on the ropes though they need wickets NOW to have any chance. another 20-30 runs without a wicket and game over IMO
