With only days to go before their high-pressure semi-final game against Pakistan in Mohali, team India is desperately battling to get seamers Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel unfit in time.

"Yes, the lack of injuries to Ashish and Munaf is a major concern," said skipper MS Dhoni to bewildered reporters at a press conference. "We're doing our best to get at least one of them out of action, ideally both, to maximise our chances of victory against Pakistan on Wednesday."

Explaining further, Dhoni said "If we can successfully injure one of our seamers other than Zaheer, we can bring in Praveen Kumar as an emergency replacement. Surely you'll agree that it's our best bet now.

"You have to agree that, fairly often, international cricket teams are faced with situations where they'd be happier if one or more of their selected squad members weren't available to play," said Kirsten. "As a professional unit, you have to be prepared to make sure that you're not stuck with a fully fit squad at the wrong time - such as in this very World Cup. Look at the way Australia and England handled it with Hussey and Morgan coming in. That's the kind of level we need to be at."

Bah.. its the repeat telecast of the SL vs ENG quarter final match. They have just morphed the faces and changed the jersey colors. They felt it was cheaper than hosting a full match. Bloody stingy cheaters Sri Lanka! :|

We should do the same with IND vs AUS match. Change the yellow to dirty green. :D

EDIT - See the moment I posted this they realized their plan is out. So they slipped in a highlight of a falling wicket and modified the scoreboard to make it look authentic. Smart buggers.

Do the same when they show the match in the big screen tomorrow at office at 2-30 pm :)

I am posting the same with ur name and pic in the Infy BB so that people recognize you in advance :D and screw you :rofl:
 
SL literally crawled they way back to the finals. At one point of time, i was thinking the finals would be NZ vs Pak (which would have been a welcome break). Tail enders could hardly bat. Compared to them our middle order batting lineup is strong. :lol:

Also seems to be Daniel Vettori's last ODI today too.

In Pak, their prime minister has declared a official holiday so that people can stay at home and cry or laugh as the Pak looses or wins.

In Mumbai here, taxi union has declared day off for their taxis, so they too can similarly cry or laugh as India looses or wins.

Both sides have enough stupidity it seems.
 
ahhhhh ok! i would urge darthcoder to cheer for pakistan and shout himself hoarse - its always the team opposite to the one he's cheering which wins-india in most cases! come on darthcoder - cheer for pakistan!
 
Just saw on a news channel on TV that it's been raining in Mohali today and much rain is forecast for tomorrow... can anyone staying there who is on TE confirm this? The last thing desired is a rain interrupted match tomorrow. :no:
