Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
Would Pak want to face NZ or England in the semis ?
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
any one we will win inshaALLAH
as for as NL, we have won many semis against them
like 92 and 99 WC, 1st T20 semiz as well
We want 100 % winning record in this CT 
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
^ I wouldnt mind Pakistan loose this time around and you knw the reason :D
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
So is there any possibility that even after
Pak beats Aus and India beats WI, India still stays out of it ? just wondering if there is any such permutation :)
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
*^^yup ... the chances of India staying out in either case is higher
*
Yes, if the combined margin of India beating WI and Pak beating Aus is less than 104 runs…

hmmmm complicated situation. So India will know half way during their game what do they need to do actually …
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
^ Exactly :) But irrespective of how the Pak Aus game goes, India needs to go all out and beat WI convincingly to give the fans back home some consolation.
Come to think of it, they have just played one match in CT where their bowling did them in...In yesterday's match it didnt look like Aus would get past 300 runs :)
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
So it is going to be so tough for india now they are not only dependent on pakistan victory against aussies but they have also win wid great margin against W.I.

For India to pip Australia, they need to ensure that they redress that balance; in other words, they need to make up for that combined difference of 104 runs. If, for example, Australia lose by 50 runs and India win by 54, the net run-rates of both teams will be exactly zero (in which case the tie-breaker will be balls per wicket for each team in completed matches). If the margin of either result is one run more, Australia's NRR will slip below India's.
That difference of 104 can be made up in any combination - if Australia lose by 20, India will need to win their game by 85 runs (assuming Australia chase and India bat first). If Australia lose by 104, a one-run win will suffice for India.

Dhoni is already making excuses that Yuvraj, Sehwag and Zaheer are not in the team. He looked like a losing captain when he came for the toss against Pakistan. With Indian club level bowling attack and demoralized captain, WI will beat India.
Imran Nazir should be replaced. His wickets puts a lot of pressure on our weak batting side.
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
I'm sure Indian fan would be thinking if Pakistan can still play Inzi, Imran and Miandad for tomorrow.
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
^ You forgot Wasim & Waqar...
Ideally I would drop Rana for Asif but should Pakistan rest 17-year old Mohammad Aamer against Australia to prevent burn-out? He has been bowling non-stop since T-20. Inzi for instance overbowled Asif during his initial games and the excessive workload finally took it's toll on Asif resulting in him having fitness issues
Plus Aamer is single pasli. I am sure with age his pace and muscle mass will increase
Must use our premier bowlers with care
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
I have to go College tomorrow.. all day 
I really wanted to sit at home and watch the match argh! 
Will be rooting for Pakistan anyhow.. hope they win i’A! 
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
The news is that Aamir n Nazir will be replaced by Asif n Misbah
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
ye kyun hwa y replacement
Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistan v Australia - Sep. 30, 09
^ Nazir is injured, and they want to try Asif.
