GROUP D - India, Pakistan, Scotland

[Prince EWS]

Malik is bowling Asif out, then who would do the bowling at the death for them.
EDIT: But that hardly matters because he is running through this Indian batting line-up.

Asif is a dire death bowler really. He's better off bowling out like he did today. Even in ODIs IMO.

 

[Athlai]

What an odd action.

One more wicket here c'mon !! I know Pak is gonna win this game now anyway, but I want them to knock out India so if they can get another wicket here, India will struggle to get even 100 which will be so easy to get in 15 overs or less.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd laugh my ass off if Bangladesh went through in the ODI WC and Scotland go through here. And India go home.

That would make my year.

It'll be a bit of an injustice regardless of whether India make it through or not, unless they somehow win this game. Scotland could well go through just on the basis of not getting pumped by Pakistan by as much as India - or vise versa - while Zimbabwe beat Australia and are on their way home.

 

[Athlai]

Match is hardly over yet.

I like this kid Uthappa he has got some spunk!

 

[Laurrz]

Asif - gun

 

[pup11]

Rain might save India's ass here!!

 

[Manee]

Rain might save India's ass here!!

I hope it doesn't. They cannot afford to go in the super eights having not played a full game in a year or so.

 

[pup11]

The cameraman is one wicked dude, just look at the camera-angels he uses.

 

[pup11]

Uthappa is bringing India back into this game, this kid definitely has got some talent.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Play through it ffs (the odd bit of rain that is).

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm... big six, huge six and gone.

 

[Tom Halsey]

6 6 W.

Lol at the commentary there. Gets bowled... 10 seconds later, "he's gone!"

 

[Scaly piscine]

BBC commentators reckon Pakistan are going for this to knock India out, would be nice if England had put some effort into beating Australia...

But anyway this could get very interesting.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Salman Butt keeping India in the tournament at the moment - he's a poor Twenty20 batsman.

 

[silentstriker]

Pathan should have opened the bowling, no? He's always better at the top of the innings. RP could have come in first change, I think.

 

[silentstriker]

Butt looking good for a quality Test match 50 here.

 

[Unattainableguy]

I don't think Pakistan are trying to knock out India which really sucks because they're already through and you don't carry any points through to the next round so they may as well take the risk and do it in 14 overs which obv they won't..

 

[silentstriker]

Butt gone, bad move by India IMO.
