misbah cldnt bat freely...or bowlers tied him down...remains the fact.....many here talking abt how gud they know cricket......fact remains misbah cldnt rotate strike...just see the match againg u will find after 20 overs batting was getting tough....havent seen sachin so helpless and if not the wicket there was no other thing that stopped indians..even the fast bowler wahab didnt get gambir and kohli out...it was stopping of the ball of the spinners that did them...u have to know the conditions batting after 1st 20 were difficult..and there was no way paki cld match indians in batting..it was obvious they were going to loose..if not by misbahs slow play..they wld have been defeated by big margin..

Balancing India's commercial power with the interests of other cricket-playing nations is one of the main challenges facing the game over the next few years, according to former ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed. Does that statemetn ring a bell

Re: Re: Re: Re: some ppl here r trying to be nave!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lossing in group sategs is diff and losing to pak and allowing them to come to mumbai for finals is a diffrent ball game altogether. I'm v happy India won but really disappointed that macth didnt live up to the hype it got and more so bczo one team came to loose.

still beleive in what i saw...fasinating match of cricket....
watch cricket, but not understand cricket... Think themselves as a PANDIT of cricket and talk like foolish. Here, some are blaming to Misbah for playing slow, but they don't understand that he was loosing his partners on the otherside and he just want to secure his wicket to attack in the power play with somebody like Afridi or Razzak, which not happend...
Re: some people
by Imran on Apr 01, 2011 06:03 PM
if u understand cricket u must know y wickets were falling at the other end its bcoz misbah was putting prssue on other bastemn to score as he was not even taking a single

Re: Re: some people
by Rajesh Gupta on Apr 01, 2011 06:12 PM
They, why any of them attacked on our bowling? Is Misbah telling them not to score and loose wickets? Poor thinking!

With a volatile fan following, society like in Pakistan and Pakistan while playing against India, match fixing by Pakistani Team to lose to India is like pushing your family back at home to the mercy of hooligans. Now atleast the Pakis won't have the heart to fix the match. Are you finding a notorious reason to sooth your grief stricken heart on Pak's loss to India?????
Re: Re: Re: some people
by Imran on Apr 01, 2011 06:42 PM
Below are the fixers in India-Pak SF
1. PCB and PAK GOVT- have done some deal of give and take with Govt and BCCI since PCB is bankrupt 2. Cong Govt-Wanted to divert public atention from scams so invited Pak PM after making sure India will win.If India had lost it would have beena disaster for Cong and PM.BJP might have asked for JPC too. 3.BCCI and IPL Owners-Had Inida lost IPL was doomed as most would boycott IPL for sure resulting in crores of loss. Next IPL Pak players will surely play in IPL 4. Pak Players-Afridi,Misbah,Younis,Gul all senior players were asked to throw the match

In fact, it was an unbelievably disciplined performance by Indian bowlers. To be critical, the whole of this world cup was about competing as to who could play worst. Overall the status of the teams were substandard. It could be that, Pak were less better in batting to India.

From the very 1st over every player of both the teams was fighting to score/save the run... 1. Have you see the Indian Batting? 2. Have you see the Paki Bowling? 3. Have you see the Indian fielding? 4. Can you tell me howmany poor deliveries paki bowlers bowled? Hardly any!
It is most easy job to say that Match was fix on the basis of droping some catches.
Re: Re: Re: some people
by Imran on Apr 01, 2011 06:31 PM
haa ur comments are really funny who is blaming the indian team here. Cricket if is played in galli or in a stadium is played with fighting spirit u will not know that bcoz u havent played any sport I guess. Umar gul their best bowlwer was spraying the ball over the field and still afridi was giving him bowling.

At the start of the WC India with strong batting line up were one of the favourites but the Bowling was considered weak . After India beat the aussies in the Qtrs however suddenly India became ‘red hot’ favourites. Then came the high pressure semis with Pak and Dhoni went with 3 -1bowling combo and India won mainly due to the bowlers even while the strong batting line up stuttered once again. More importantly both Nehra and Munaf bowled well. So, now Dhoni is sitting pretty with a bowling side peaking at the right time whether he plays 3-1 or 2-2 combo depending upon the conditions at Wankhade. On batting side ,if Gambhir is unfit, no worry as Y/Pathan is there in waiting. Further, after the Pak match the pressure also comes down for India. Given this background SL under pressure has little chance of upsetting a better side ,India. In case India bats first, then SL batting 2nd with a suspect middle order could be blanked out in a one sided match. In case SL bats first the contest will be more even as chasing is becoming a bit tricky for India coupled with the possibility of Dilashan and U/Taranga running away with a flier pacers failing to strike early. A 2-2 bowling combo may be more effective here in putting the brakes on the SL assault. Also, With India chasing , L/Malinga could be a serious threat although the three Ms might not be as serious a threat, India being adept with their bowling. All in all, India should win comfort
aha, atlast some one who is wise and not naive and gullible. The way misbah was playing, even a child using little intelligence would know that the game was fixed. how come he was unable to take runs earlier, but starting htting 4s and 6s later when he knew that match is already lost. how come tendu catches were dropped, (5). how come shane watson and hussey got out a a lollypop balls. you are correct, IPL was doomed, and since 80-90% of icc revenue is from india, ICC has a hand too in fixing. Were else the game is taken seriously other than india

You are blaming to Misbah, but you don't understand that he was loosing his partners on the otherside, He just want to secure his wicket to attack in the power play with somebody like Afridi or Razzak, but not happend... I am sure if other team drops five catches, then you never say that the match was fixed..

Re: sehwag
by Chirag P on Apr 01, 2011 05:21 PM
Sehwag's clicks is not a worry atall..but Gauti and Kohli are failed to achieve big scores so far...Kohli played only once 100 runs in one match...after that he is no where...so This both players should click which is more interesting.
