    Well, if that is the case, then if it is India vs Pakistan in the finals, as you wanted it to be.... then India will once again come out as winners.....:p

    Cricket history says Pakistan has never beaten India in a cricket world cup..:cool:

    Excellent performance by India once again, thrashing the minnows of the game...fair and square! :cool:

    I hope the middle order and lower order Indian batsmen are oiling their parts in the nets, as they hardly get to bat on the field...these days! :rolleyes:

    Yes, very good performance, I would be happy if they finish the match a couple of overs before, india took much time i feel.

    As you said, Many are not getting chance to play, Especially raina, Still he didn't play :D Hope still he is in good form.

    India's bowlers were clinical in their demolition of the Ireland batting, the batsmen were equally solid in chasing down the moderate total, thus consigning Ireland to their first defeat in Twenty20 internationals. Zaheer Khan ran through the top order full of left-hand batsmen, Pragyan Ojha took a first-ball wicket in his second Twenty20 international too, and the new opening combination of Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma got India off to another solid start. :D

    Yes, what a great bowling by Khan, he took the important wickets!! Great start by Khan, very economic as well.

    And i didn't see sharma batting, i slept :p saw that he scored 52 runs, That's really nice!!

    Good win by India, but i feel that yusuf pathan should have come in at No:3 , he has not got any match practice as far as batting is concerned...:)

    Raina atleast got to bat in the warm up games where he scored 45 runs...:cool:

    For Clever start

    India has to open with rohit and yusaf pathan, after that dhoni or raina, and then yuvraj to maintain the middle order
    This process will get the things in india's way as 20 overs and one player if stays for 4 odd overs with quick knock of 30 or 40 odd scores then reaching 200 is not so difficult :)

    ^^^^ Dude we need quick runs , And gambhir is a slow starter He is just fixing one and end want the 2nd player to play but i guess this game is for 50-50 not 20-20 you have only 3-4 over in a game you need to make runs and the team like india which has big guns Then getting wickets of this team is Not easy , and pacing the inning is only possible when you loss couple of wickets in first 5 overs then you can play defensive

    so i want rohit with yousaf to open the batting for India then raina so that the run rate never fell down and rest is the work of dhoni and yuvraj ,

    There is no need of gambir mate
