India vs Australia: CWC 2nd QTF, March 24

[ashok321]

What about One Afridi, Umar Akmal, Kamran Akmal or Razzaq?

Meanwhile Pakistan won more matches than West Indies. Pakistan believed in team contribution and not relied upon one or two players only

Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi are among the highest wicket takers of the tournament with Afridi being the leading wicket taker of the tournament so far. Afridi got 5 wickets twice in the tournament and once 4 wicket haul was also completed. Too better for Rampaul


The stats proves otherwise,

Australia won 29 matches against India and lost 13 matches with w/l ratio of 2.23 since 2000
Pakistan won 16 matches against West Indies since 2000 and lost 8 with w/l ratio of 2.00 since 2000

Pakistan Net RR +0.758
India Net RR +0.900

Let the public decide by above (cream of the coffee cup) aggregating all the matches..

But the point to notice is, we were successfully able to defend it by large margin

Pakistan Net RR +0.758
India Net RR +0.900

Pakistan hasn't been that impressive and neither has been India.
Pakistan's batting is very weak,Canada bowled them out for 184,so there are no favorites right now.

As per ICC's criteria, they see who won more matches. Later they come to net run rate is the result is not apparent

Pakistan won more matches thus there is no need to look at the run rate. Pakistan has 10 points in the tournament wheareas India has 9

 

[ashok321]

Top 25 batsmen of this tournament are without a Pakistani batsman........while there are 5 Indians...

Well that pitchy was also very tricky... there has been many pitches in Sri Lanka where score close to 200 has been very hard to score. The point to notice is Pakistan won comfortably in the end

India has dissapointed in this tournament in terms of overall performance even though batting has impressed .

But there is still time , we can get rid of our weaknesses , but i am not very hopeful against australia . However , i must say this - If India beats Australia to enter the Semis than they/we will most likely go on to win the cup .

Cricket is not about batting only... it is the bowlers who usually wins you the matches. Check the Top 10 bowlers as well

But that can't hide the fact that Pakistan probably after West Indies has the weakest batting line up in the WC(amongst the permanent members)

The difference is one tie..........a photo finish....other than India played better than Pakistan and for that you have to look at overall picture of Net run rate...

Both the department of the cricket are vital if you wanna win the match, its not the only department of bowling!

Lol at your logic...

Its not about if's and but's

Tie is a tie otherwise India had clearly lost that game too when they weren't able to take wickets before 42 overs... Collapse does not occur in each game... Indian bowling has not been doing well and you must stop comparing Top 25 players in each respective department. Look at the team effort as a whole...

And you guys scored only 183 against minnows like canada , how the hell you think you gonna win against windies - cut the crap

It only depends on how a team plays against a team on a particular day .

Its is difficult for India to defeat aussies , But Not Impossiible.

Ohh we will alright. We manage to score only 183, yet we won, thats what counts, India on the other hand managed to score 338 and 296 yet failed to win. So spare me the BS. I am not against India but frankly speaking you guys are gonna get your kicked by aussies. If you cant defend a total of 296 then there is nothing you can defend. Period. As for the windies, we have the capacity to take them on and win.

well the point to notice is, we won almost all matches comfortably

India on other hand had to go for nail-biting moments in almost each game played against Major teams

game against Canada?Was that comfortable?Game against SriLanka? game against Australia,is never ever comfortable and there were times when it looked that match could end up close.
Rest were minnows.
