ASIA CUP March 2012 - Discussion Thread
India embark on a 3 game group stage to face their Asian friends (or not!) in the once-in-two-years tournament, The Asia Cup. All matches taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur, Bangladesh.
India will face:
- Sri Lanka (again) on March 13, Tuesday. / Ind won by 50 runs
- Bangladesh (hosts) on March 16, Friday. | Ind lost by 5 wickets
- Pakistan (arch-rivals) on March 18, Sunday. | Ind won by 5 wickets
And if they end up top two, they'll be in the finals. Can the Men in (Light)Blue put up a solid performance? They are the defending champions of the tournament, having won the last edition in 2010.
The squad: MSD (capt), V.Kohli (vc), S.Tendulkar, S.Raina, Rohit Sharma, G.Gambhir, M.Tiwary, Y.Pathan, I.Pathan, R.Jadeja, R.Ashwin, Rahul Sharma, P.Kumar, R.V.Kumar, A.Dinda

Hafeez to 100 n Jamshed to 90S in mega quickfire time. i think Akmal will be promote to #3 to keep the NRR steady.
if India bowling gets a wicket. I m.praying still for a Pakistan batting collapse. Will it happen? I dunno.
Afridi don't do well in powerplay damn. Akmal does. It's been like that. :-/
hmmm. :/ I guess I'll hv to. but it's not impossible. has happened before na?
seeing MSD strategy today I m expecting Raina Rohit n Yusuf to bowling powerplay overs. what say DS?
even mishits will be going all the way. powerplay overs now. India already behind the eight ball. :/
Gavaskar over optimistic. Saying India already have strong batting line up.
NRR should reduce now I hope. even with that last boundary by Younus.
Rohit n Kohli had crashed into each other going for the ball. lucky both are ok.
unfortunate. i hope he is okay. Ramiz says India can be happy. Dunno for what tho.
lol, Rameez was signing praises of MSD and he gave an unnecessary over throw!
Hilarious commenting. Nothing funny abt the score or Pakistan batting tho :-(
Ramiz ji... keeping Afridi quiet is not worthy of praising in present context. :-/
target 330. it is not easy. :( but we don't need to look far for inspiration. Chase against Lanka in Australia... under pressure.
