cool, it woud be cricket match of the whole centruy and coming century
I hope Inzi can make a century in this last match of the tournament because then he would have made 10,000 runs in his career.
arey bhai bengal should just get out of cricket kenya is far better than em
Are you for real?
What exactly is your point. Yes malik was a one man show, but more often than not, one man wins the game especially in ODI format. Actually we did two things in this tournament. You forgot the ass whooping of 60 runs against a certain team. I just can’t remember against who we did it against. Your analysis of pak win against india is just as ridiculous (spelling) as your great quote saying india lost because the losing of wickets of kaif, sehwag, and dravid and It just doesn’t happen every game. ![]()
I could say the same thing for our game against SL. But I won’t, see I don’t particularly like appearing as a dumbass around the people of this board.
Just pray that India defeats SL in the final.

If a player scored 145 and there are 20 odd extras, there isn’t really much left for other players to do except form partnerships around him. That we did very well. You remind me of the commentators on TV - utterly clueless yet so sure of their opinions.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. ![]()
Jo na samajhna chahein unn ki marzi… per the bonus point system is crappy. And its not just whining and sore grapes either. Here, see what Amit Varma is saying on CricInfo
**No scope for cornered tigers**
Amit Varma
July 28, 2004
Imran Khan at the 1992 World Cup. Pakistan got a second wind there, but not at this Asia Cup, because of a flawed bonus-point rule.
In 1992, when Pakistan had won just one of their first five matches in the World Cup, Imran Khan inspired his men by telling them to fight like cornered tigers. If Imran was captaining Pakistan at the current Asia Cup, he would not find a way to be inspirational. The tigers aren’t cornered, but buried, after just one solitary defeat. They lost a game to Sri Lanka, and the tournament to a bonus-point system that was set up for all the right reasons, but is having quite the wrong impact.
One-day cricket is unpredictable, and no team should be penalised for having one bad day. In any tournament, thus, a single loss does not put you out of the event – there is always a way back in. And in the Asia Cup, with three teams of approximately equal strength, you’d expect each to beat one other and lose to the third. It’s happened before, and it will happen again. It normally then comes down to net run-rate, but Pakistan won’t be getting out their calculators if they beat Bangladesh on Thursday, and match India and Sri Lanka on wins – they’ll be packing their bags.
This is how the bonus-point system works in this Asia Cup. A team gets five points for a win, but if it gets a bonus point – beating a team with a run-rate greater than 20% - then it gets an extra point. Fair enough. But the losing teams also get a point, unless they concede a bonus point, in which case they get nothing. So when Pakistan lost the bonus point to Sri Lanka, there was actually a two-point swing (Pakistan losing one, Sri Lanka getting one). Sri Lanka 6, Pakistan 0. And when India lost to Pakistan but saved the bonus point, it was Pakistan 5, India 1.
This system is skewed, and the penalty for one bad loss is too harsh. Bob Woolmer is justified in being upset about it. If a bonus point system is kept in place, there should just be a one-point swing, and the margin of victory should be reconsidered – to be penalised for winning by ‘only’ 59 runs, as Pakistan did, is too harsh.
It is not as if the previous system was perfect. The net run-rate system meant that the team playing the last game knew what margin of victory it needed, which is also unfair. Ideally, as in the socccer’s Euro championships, and many others, the last matches of a league should be played simultaneously. But commercial considerations rule that out. A bonus-point system is fine, but the weightage needs to be corrected. Cricket would be poorer without cornered tigers.

No ...whatever he said is fine. No one disputes that. But fact remains that it was announced much earlier and everyone knew it.
What is pissing is that people saying that Pakistan was better team which it was not. All 3 were almost equal , whoever exploited the situation/rules better moved ahead. It is as simple as that. Pakistani team was just dumb not to exploit it. Blame them.

actually he is. He is too busy kissing pak's ass. Fact remains that we knew of the rule before the tournament. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Anyway, what are the odds that Pakistan will rest some of the key players and play a second string team. After all this match has no impact on anything.
^ why dont we just lose this game ![]()
bangladeshis would get a lil happy ![]()

We want support from Pakistani Brothers/Sisters. 3 reasons to support Indians..
Indian didnt defeat you in league match. They did lose to you. It was lankan who defeated you and you got out of torunament.
It was Lankan board who made those stupid rule of bonus point. And you guys suffered.
It was Lanka's team which didnt play 2 of their best players against India which helped India win and helped eliminate Pakistan.

You ignored support from Pakistani sisters. That gunnah alone makes it difficult to read on. :( You sexist! Fix the post, then we will read the three reasons.
