India will have to chase whatever Sri Lanka set in 40 overs to have a chance to qualify for the finals.

Irfan in both matches scored at least some runs and probably bowled well also .   Hard luck to him . Actually where Yuosuf Pathan .

Zak is in poor form today, Irfan should have been in for his batting ability too

Yes.. very much so. Poor selection in that respect. 

I believe Sri Lanka is playing wonderful cricket   216/1 in 40 overs

Oh, that's what Umeshji.. India are playing wonderful cricket  Chasing the final target set in 40 overs, they're gonna have their work cut out. But lets see, long shot, but could happen.

Chasing  around 300 in less than 40 overs that too in our current form , i think its impossible in our dreams also . But if India has to chase this target and win it with in 40 overs , Then no doubt Sehwag has to fire and fire hard . If he gets going then any target can be chased .

Chasing around 325 .......

Not the DS i expected, but DS2 is good to see too 

320 in 40 overs.. hard ask. Depends on Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar now. Need a flying start!

Gettable

Kohli is playing for Asia cup Captiancy

Climax

42 frin 6 overs. 7RPO 7Wkts in hand 3 overs of powerplay.

Century for Kohli.

10 in 4 overs. 2.5 RPO for a win with bonus point.

Now pray that SL lose next match , So ind can go to finals .

I don't like to pray any team to lose I hope Australia wins.

Smart....

Wonderful knock , actually everybody scored runs quickly . Opening partnership of above 50 runs and Kolhi knock made the difference

Yes, it did. Esp that one over from Malinga which went for 24

When is the selection for asia cup

Tomorrow

No i know the reason behind today's performance .....

@DS: sure its not the day after? and suppose MSD is sacked, or Tendulkar is not selected etc. And India qualify for finals, would that affect team morale?

@DS2: No no. That's not the reason.

MSD told in interview that now all are going to be shopping for 2 days. They wanted to leave early to enjoy the Tuesday night sales

Its today! And anyways we are still not in the finals so dont know about the morale of the team!!

@ Leo , what did the shop for ???

what did they shop for

God knows, Dhiraj. Shows the attitude though right? I mean, if there is a chance that you can get through to the finals of a tournament, then you would be preparing because if you do, you are ready, if u r not, you atleast keep urself fit for further matches later. Its like they've given up the hope.

Read my last reply!

Kohli - The bad boy of Indian cricket. Has the game but hope he learns some manners too.
Well played today!! I can understand NS :) :P

Agree with you on that .

@DS he he... but i am not sure. lets see if India makes it to the final. i will make decision depending on his persfomance there :P(i sound like a damn important critique :P) i actually wish he didnt sound so pompous in the fair and handsome adds :-/ 

lol @ NS :):)
Everyone is a critic of the Indian cricket team!!

Yes, DS.. every one is a critic of Indian Cricket Team.. NS is a critic of the Fair and Handsom ad

lol

For taking a break from English?

you wont understand Leo.. only DS would :P

Ohhh.. THAT reason

pretending as if you know?? :P :P :D

No no I know. THAT REASON which is somewhere below

Haha:) I understand it perfectly NS :)

i knew you would DS :P

Heights of exultation?

Yes yes.. now to support Australia

Australia should wins hands down unless they don t wanna meet India in finals 

Sri Lanka has defeated Australia 5 times in their last 7 meets in Australia. Plus its now a do or die
game for the Lankans, they will go hard at the Aussies... We can only watch.

I don't want to see India in finals . And will support SL for tomorrow match ....

Me supporting SL too!! They deserve to be in the finals...

I'm going to be watching without supporting any of the teams. Whoever wins, let them.

i am not going to watch the match AT ALL :P :P

But they will watch at your HOME NS!!

sigh... true... hope i SUDDENLY attain the power of resistance :P i have physics on monday :P

Your resistance will not be enough I am afraid...

ahhh... i thought you supported me DS :P :P

i just asked my dad who he is gonna support tmrw :P guess his answer :P

Obviously Australia! Except if they dont want the Indians to be in the finals!

They = Your Dad and Brother!

no rewards for guessing right :P he thinks India deserves to be in the finals... i had a war with him just now. with my brother shouting on the phone :P

lol:) They are bigger fans than me!! I dont think they deserve to be in the finals! Just because of one exceptional match in which they had nothing to loose, they have been crappy last two months!!!

you have no idea. my dad thinks they performed exceptionally well in the last match which was a very tough task for any team under so much pressure :P

That was exceptional but they had nothing to loose. Especially after Sri Lanka scored 321, no one expected us to win. So they just went for their shots and it came off.

Chal bye NS! Will talk later:)

They've lost hope now itself DS. And they wonder why some fans are beginning to doubt their commitment.

COMPLICATED!
