Your batting is SUCKING Plzzzz come @ no 6 & let Raina play @ No. 3 OR get your corporate sponsors to fix the match Actually with Dinesh Karthik in team, you shudnt keep wickets & bat @ no 7.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that his side would miss the services of big-hitting opener Virender Sehwag.
"Sehwag is such a dangerous player at the top of the order and unsettles rival bowlers. He will certainly be missed," Dhoni said at a press conference at Lord's ahead of India's Super Eight match against the West Indies on Friday.
SA bowling line up is best in this competition. Eng should targeted SA batting line up which performed poorly against NZ. Decision of batting first was wrong here.
It was better to restrict SA on an average total and then chase it safely rather than put pressure on batting line to make a big score against best bowling line up.

u r right. n toay i think india must bowl first if they win the toss. if they could get gayle early then probably windis will not be able to make a big total.

But it looks India can beat WI in both situation if Gayle gets out early.
England never seem to win over SA. Yesterday they played a onesided match just like the NZ played with the Ireland. I guess 2 out of these 3 teams will make the final. 1.India 2.SA 3.SL

SA has put themselves in a safe position. There is competition between Eng and SA for 2nd place in the group. Now Eng have to beat WI and depend on the result of SA and WI match.

If india wins it will win alone, likewise if they lose they will lose alone, not with England or Sri Lanka. But why should anyone think negatively in the first place?

i hope India and SA comes in finale and SA wins.. India don deserves win
It's nothing new seeing the men in green dominate their opponents all the way through league stages of BIG tournaments, only to suffer defeats with things going horribly wrong in the knockout stages...Their history in such World cups,champions trophy,..proves this!!!
It won't be surprising if that happens again!!!
Anyway, i hope for an INDIA - SA final,and of course INDIA winning it handsomely...

The thing is that this is a different SA side and no team if they consistently make the business end of the tournament will choke always. They'll win atleast once.

no chance for India. Dhoni has already spoil the batting order. Raina wont get rythem in this competition since dhoni made him to play at no. 6

th. this time the opening players will bat solidly there is no need to depend middle order batsman. so do not bark like no chance for India. We are favourites and Windies are no match for India.
