India needs to learn from Pakistan....

[tdigi]

Yes I am saying this. If India need to get to the semi finals, then instead of doing "bhangra" after Pakistan lost the game with SL - the players need to look at the positive and clinical approach which Pakistan showed today against NZ. It was a do or die situation and the players responded with conviction.

Most of the things were perfect with a splendid catch by Afridi. I have a feeling that things will sky rocket from here for Pakistan because the lost confidence is back.

So India, keep your feet grounded and watch & learn......

[Inswinger]

Bhai don't jinx us by praising us this much!

[Amir]

Relax, India still a good team. I will take it at one game at a time. YOu can never say Pakistan is back cause one day they are like this, and the next day could be like they were vs Sri Lanka.

If we make the semis it will be a great achievement considering we only had to beat one test nation to do it lol.

[MIG]

Interesting thing - are you referring to the Bhangra by an unknown player in the Indian dressing room when Pakistan were losing to SL ?

India has match winners of their own - at the end of the day its upto the side that wants to win the most - Pakistan were desparate and Razzaqs inclusion really helped the cause

[Zaad]

i agree man
that was really disrespectful/.... what yuvraj was doing when pakistan lost the game to Srilanka

but what goes around comes around... they lost to windies...

all i can say is good luck and hope to see u in Finals... and this time... we wont need .......a scoop from misbah !

[kingusama92]

India has a ton of talent and I think they just had a off day yesterday. They will probably make a good comeback against England tomorrow. Definitely a match I want to see.

[Afridi_Fan]

Did Yuvraj really did Bhangra when we lost to Sri Lanka?

[chiru]

the best T20 batsman in the world sehwag is not playing,
the best T20 bowler in the last world cup sreesanth is not playing.

[jusarrived]

Sehwag is not the best T20 batsmen in the world. On your team alone Gambir and Yuvraj are better than him amongst other world batsmen. Sehwag's T20 stats are nto impressive as everyone raves. Though I admit, he can be destructive.

Best T20 bowler in the last world cup? There were two better bowlers than him today that have performed in both cups. One being the first bowler to get a five-for.

You obviously didn't watch it. And what's wrong with appreciating the efforts of your rivals? Hmm? I don't remember that last time we fully dominated a team in this T20 world cup. Even the game against Bangladesh was close.

Nothing wrong in taking inspiration from other teams if they have played well....

^^^ A def of tantrum?

[abc_to_xyz]

I think they only need to learn the art of bowling at the death..... Else, they are fine..

[Zahid87]

The only thing India can learn from Pakistan's performance today is to perform when it matters. Thats all we did. Its not like we are a changed team with lots of unexpected improvements made overnight. All we did was get it right on the day - the performance has been in us all along!

The only other thing we did is make bold selections in bringing in Shahzaib and Razzaq. India don't need that....they just need to go out and perform. Its not like they are a crap team.

are you kidding me?

sehwag is the most destructive batsman in world cricket and its a severe handicap to the team that he is injured

sreesanth won the semi final and final in the last world cup by picking up important wickets and with his in your face attitude. we need more players like that in the team.

[Inswinger]

Calm down fellas. Nothing wrong with giving credit when credit is due.

I think you misspelled Misbah and Gul respectively here

[rhapsodite]

Lol, just one defeat for India and one victory for Pakistan means India has to learn from Pakistan.

it was a random bhangra move with his back facing to the field of play
nothing to do with pakistan's loss. don't create drama.

Hello , we have played 3 matches . you getting even more annoying now .

appreciating rivals ? not exactly what you doing here ...it cud have been done with a 'congrats pak ' thread .

why take inspiration from pak ? why not SL ? who have been much more impressive than pakistan & do you really think dhoni n co will take inspiration from a pak win ? i can see only one purpose of this thread .

[dani2k]

Err...yes Pak played well today...but I think we can handle our learning sessions ourselves..We have enough manuals and think tanks in our own team who can handle the situation. If outside help is needed, we can ask for Sachins input as he is in England now.Have patience bro! We will do well..

You are entitled to express what you think. I hope you are not annoyed that Pak won? Yes Dhoni will take inspiration to know that in a do or die situation, Pakistan came back with full force. India find themselves in a similar situation. That is the context of this thread if you did not get it.

Everyone is inspired by emphatic wins regardless of the team...nothing wrong with that.

someones awfully annoyed at pakistan's win. i bet u wish u were doing a bhangra with yuvraj.
what india can learn from pakistan is what pakistan does better than any team in the tournmant , DEATH BOWLING
u indians were giving away 20 runs per over even against bangadesh in the death overs. its very obvious tht no indian bowler has a clue how to bowl in the death overs.(or know how it feels like to have an below 30 test average)

best t20 batsman MISBAH UL HAQ
best t20 bowler UMAR GUL

why cant u indians just accept the fact tht none of your medium-slow pacers will never feature on a list of "greats" or even "bests".
ur batting is awesome, live with it, why do u have to pretend even ur medium-slow pacers are world class????

[waqar akram]

sreesanth consistently hits the 90 mph mark.

[saqlain]

The guy who started this thread, i am sure, has not pakistan playing the games at the beginning. I am not sure If Indians need to learn much from Pakistan. I think it should be the other way around.

[Sufian84]

<----------- on the floor dying of laughter!
Sreesanth is more annoying then a monkey on drugs, while bowling 82-84miles/hr outswingers.....he'd be considered "Danger to humanity" in a 10mile radius, if he started hitting 90mph constantly.

[Systematicx0x]

Even our half retarded Rao is faster then Sreesanth on average. Gul, Rana Naveed..way faster. Don't even get me started on the new talent we got coming up. You have already seen a preview of Mohammad Aamir...wait till you see him in a Test Match all let loose......and wait till you see the speeds of Mohammad Talha, and Wahab Riaz. Even Sohail Khan if he's ever allowed to bowl all out, when he gets a chance.

[12thMan]

What is wrong is not death bowling but if the top order fails. India relies too much on top 3 and they have been giving good starts so the middle order doesn't really play under pressure much

[waqar akram]

yea mayb in ur dreams, where even zaheer khan has a below 30 average. ive seen sreesnanth hit 140 more than consitently than any other indian bowler, but 140 is not 90mph.

you do realize that we have a 100 mph bowler waiting in the wings right?
we already have ishanth sharma who has hit the 150 kmph mark a few times and RP singh can send it down with some pace and control.

[12thMan]

you do realize that we have a 100 mph bowler waiting in the wings right?

We had a 6 page thread on Atul Sharma and then it got removed. Another was created which went 3-4 pages. Still waiting and we do want to see that 100 mph bowler as that will be great for fans.

we already have ishanth sharma who has hit the 150 kmph mark a few times

What speed is he bowling now?

What BS!

It was NOT random.

He was watching the TV screen - and when the crowd cheered, it egged him on further.

Of course, we didnt see no bhangra at the end of his game...except from the Pak fans that stuck around, trying to get a response from the slumped, drunk fans......

indeed that a really cheap harkat by Yuvraj

[Wiji]

Does anyone have a video of Yuvraj doing the bhangra? I have always hated the guy's guts. Arrogant mo-fo.

[SHER-E-PUNJAB]

Well dont get carried away buds pakistan batting is still rusty
had it been a total of around 130 to 150 by NZ it wud've been hard for pak, so bowlers won them the match....but your sitting pretty with Ireland to follow...good luck for that!

[TalhaSyed]

tdigi seems to be the Sanjay Manjrekar

Thanks for the kind words tdigi and for your sake i hope India do well VS Eng and get to the semi's.....as far as most if not all other India fans around here go....u guys seem to be a bunch of ego-maniacs who are just too stubborn to apriciate when any other team plays well and learn from them never mind Pakistan.

ishant sharma bowled over 150 ONCE and since then hes been the same speed as munaf. so i think its safe to assume tht the speed guns in australia were messed up.

rp singh's fastest delivery was 90mph in the t20 wc last yr, but ive never seen him do it again, and belive me i watch all the matches, even saw the women's world cup.

yeah, you are right. sehwag is the most destructive batsman in the world. Just that oram is more destructive than sehwag, if not as much.

[tdigi]

SO WHAT WAS I SAYING?

[AZ]

indeed, the Indian was overconfident in this tourney...the media BS over Sehwag and Dhoni didn't help either though
