Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Australia's T20 bowling has been exposed by Pak and Windies. They lack a decent spinner
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Aus may be out of the race :D
Hopefully
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
What did Aussies say before the match that pumped W.Indian players so much?
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
There is already some history between the Australians and Chris Gayle from last year, and James Faulkner’s comments ahead of his side’s World T20 clash with West Indies has only revived those feelings. Faulkner has said he does not “particularly like” the West Indies players, to which Darren Sammyhas replied that the Australia allrounder is probably the only cricketer who does not like the men from the Caribbean.
In his debut series early last year, Faulkner was fined a part of his match fee for shouting in Gayle’s direction after dismissing the batsman in Canberra. Faulkner suggested he would not hesitate to do something similar if it helped Australia in what is almost a must-win game for both sides.
**
“I don’t particularly like them,” Faulkner said.** “Good players are good players. You have to do things to get under their skin and try and irritate them to try and get them off their game. Players do that to me and I do it to other players. It’s a fact of the game. A lot of it is played in your mind. If you can do something to upset somebody and upset their team, it goes a long way towards doing well as a group.”
Even Brad Haddin and Gayle had had a run-in last year during the Big Bash. **When Haddin **was dismissed by Gayle, Haddin said that at least then the fans of Gayle’s franchise had seen him do something for his money. Gayle had been having a poor tournament with the bat for Sydney Thunder. Gayle had responded with a tweet saying that he was better than Haddin even if he batted right-handed.
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Serves Aussies right then. Flaukner getting whooped for 2 sixes and losing the match for Aust after talking crap. Never seen Gayle lose his cool like that before.
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
India won the toss and elected to field
Go BD Go and make my day... :D
Re: T20 World Cup 2014

Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Wth aussie losing this one pak needz to beat west indies n bangladesh n they are in semi
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
BD on course to scoring more than what Pakistan (130) and Windies (129) managed against India..
But BD bowling is their weakest link
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Another disciplined bowling performance by India
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
I wanted AUS to win to have more options available for Pakistan but oh well ...we have to win both games now with good margin!

Easier said than done but Pakistan just have to win their remaining two games now and they will be through. margin is irrelevant now (would have been relevant if Aus had beaten Windies today)
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Looks like an easy win for India against BD

This showed up on my newsfeed. Pakistani guy giving a Bangladeshi his jersey.
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
@ myself
That was what I meant i.e I wanted Aus to win SunaihriAsif
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
^ An Australian win today would have complicated things more for Pakistan because I think Australia will beat India (and BD) .... 3 teams (India, Aus and Pak) could/would then have finished on 6 points each
But with Windies winning today, NRR is no longer an issue. Pak just need to win both their remaining games.
Re: T20 World Cup 2014
Group 1:
Tomorrow's game between South Africa and England is virtually a QF as is the game between NZ and Lanka on Monday

Pakistan has to beat WI to stay in the tournament. They could lose to Bangladesh and then we could have multiple teams with four points to decide on run rate.
