Guol Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 brett lee fluked that 6 in the 7th game against india yesterday. it went from 7 runs in 4 balls to 1 run from 2 balls to win. if he hadnt hit that 6 the ozzies woodnt hav stood a chance. :o :angry: :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 im hoping australia will win but india got a good batting line up with tendulkar and sehwag coming back from injury soon and the aussies bowling hasnt looked so great all summer. zimbabwe has no chance Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1636164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildliquid Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 its hard not to back the aussies, i mean they are the world champions! last nite they were under pressure and still won. (fluke)(not a fan of brett lee :p ) India are playing extremely well, and were unlucky not to win. it will be a close final between india and australia Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guol Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 zimbabwe are pretty good bowlers but their batting SUX!!! :x india is getting better and im pretty sure theyll win if they keep on playing as well as they have been!!! :yes: australia- *no comment* :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 australian selectors i think are picking the wrong, out of form players imo. martyn and bevan shouldnt be in the squad right now, no doubting the are great batsmen but they are just out of tune and i think the selectors should pick some new faces to play against zimbabwe in stead of waiting for them to hit some type of form Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idkfa Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yeah, i wouldn't count on brett lee to do something like that again...our tail end is rather shoddy. i think india could come out on top, altho i'll be going for aust. and the game last night...india didn't have a couple of their players.

jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 true, when tendulkar and sehwag are back they will surely fire. unlike the indians the australian batsmen unconsistant Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idkfa Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yeah for sure, we haven't been as consistent as we should have. lately when hayden or langer have been in you'll never know when they'll get out.

jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 very true, if a few players go well in a match you can expect alot to have bad days. the bowling attack is stuffed too without Glen McGrah, Warne and Lee is still conseeding too many runs edit: 1300 posts :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking younger players to go against Zimbabwe isnt much of a risk because they wont struggle too hard to beat them. Reminds me of Wayne Benett, how he cant bring himself to let go of some of the older players in NRL. That was a great game where Lee saved Australia. India is getting much closer to being better than Australia.

jymi Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 off topic: since you started talking about rugby, darren lokyer is the dang best full back in the world cricket: bring some more Australia A. players in to help out the bowling attack, maybe shaun tait (not sure about first name) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/134434-cricket-vb-series/#findComment-1637410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only plays 1-day, not test cricket.(:angry: w/ the ACB, yeah i still call it that, not CA) only martyn has to be dropped because he has had poor form in the test and one-day matches so far. bevan wants to play test cricket but will not be offered a chance by the ACB.

icexswipe Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 well if australia can keep their wickets, im sure they can win as for india, they are the only team who can compete against australia, but their bowling attack is weak.

Once they resumed play, Ponting only got out because he was frustrated at the Indians for timewasting (waiting for more rain). Gilchrist was on a roll when rain stopped play. Australia were lucky at the end, but they deserved it. I don't think the rain worked in their favour.

I don't think the rain worked in their favour. no they woodnt hav. aus were 226/8. india scored 295. so they woodnt hav been able to score 70 runs with those dumb@$$es batting if they had dun the full 50 overs. the rain was to their advantage and if it hadnt rained and the full 50 overs had been played then india wood hav gotten the 2 wickets and definitely won. sorry but thats reality i spose.

inf|nity Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 i would go 4 india! if india bats first they r goin to win bcause they cant chase well and even their tailenders have to practice little bit of battin as Agarkar is out of form but im hopping that Pathan works in the final!

icexswipe Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 when i said their bowling attack is weak, i meant that arent experienced. pathan is a very good bowler, prolly the next wasim akram but he lacks experience kumble is a excellent experienced bowler but hasnt had his breakthro yet in the series agarkar has come after an injury zaheer khan is indias top bowler but hes injured anyways they still have enuff to beat to australia which they have proved p.s. i voted INDIA :D i saw the aussie - zimbawe match. i cudnt believe how some of the zimbawen players stand when batting, their bat is up in the air (baseball style), their leaning backwards and play the shot at the last second. cant say anything abt their fielding tho. they are amazing at that.
