Loss of West Indies to England made this game even more interesting...
Every game except Netherlands were high blood pressure game.
I hope we win tomorrow...
I heard Jafurullah sharafat's car was smashed after the England game...
and he said he wasn't angry at all...

^ Hope that was not an insurance scam.

The South African batting lineup is almost as strong as the Indian Batting lineup... the difference between them and teams like NZ or Eng is that they look to destroy the weaker opposition from ball one...

In my view we have to get the following things right to win this one:

1. Pitch: Should not be a batsman's paradise because if that happens SA will score 300... game over
2. Tamim needs to stay at the wicket during Steyn and Morkel's initial spell... with fluke master Junaid and a rusty Nafees to follow we could to 2-3 down very easily... so we need to see off those two..going at 3.5-4.5 runs per over will be okay
3. Shafiul needs to pick up a wicket early... preferably Amla
4. Shakib and Razzak must control the SA batting powerplay... so far SA are the best in executing PP
5. Mushfiq must not drop catches...the top six batters are very strong we will pay the price if we drop catches
6. We must be mentally prepared to chase down 300 plus total

Jadukor · #**279** March 17, 2011, 10:21 PM

ohh i forgot something
7. Shamim should take a vacation on saturday

Naimul_Hd · #**280** March 18, 2011, 12:34 AM

If we think, we cant beat SA, then we better not play in QF. Period !

Forget about beating them...if we even lost to them by 40 runs or held them off till the 42nd over or sth, we'd still be going through most probably. But with such a bad match against them..that's what really stuffed us up. Our runrate was counted as 1.18 for that match, and that had a HUGE impact, even for other teams in the group.

THIS is the biggest game for the players in their short international careers. This game will decide whether we can really call ourselves one of the 'big boys' . Play like there is no tomorrow, dive around, save singles, save boundaries, take catches, make half chances and take them as well. Play with you heart, fight like your life depends on it.
Go tigers.

Abirz · #**283** March 18, 2011, 03:43 AM

We cannot lose our composure now...WE'VE COME TOO FAR! WE CAN'T FREAK OUT NOW!!

Shehwar · #**284** March 18, 2011, 04:14 AM

Most probably Steyn and D VIlliars will be rested. That's what I have heard.

It is a bit cloudy today but the sky is clearing up. Unfortunately We are not going to get any free point. Tigers will win inshallah.

I don't think I've ever been this nervous for a Bangladesh match.

Probably the best read at the moment :

I think its time Siddons did that speech to the players. It'll be the most effective if him the ultimate realist did an inspirational speech on the morning of the South Africa game..

I hope saffers rest steyn de villiers and tahir. I think we've got a chance then. All the best boys! Hoping to see a strong batting performance!

Tiger Manc · #**297** March 18, 2011, 09:50 AM

^^^oh great. I just read the cricinfo article and apparently all 3 are fit!

Night_wolf · #**298** March 18, 2011, 10:38 AM

NZ is losing today..this means if we make it to the QF we'll not be playing in Bangladesh

SL is certain to be the #2 team..and whoever wins vs Aus and Pak will be the #1..and if we win tomorrow we'll be #3 in our group

Rifat · #**299** March 18, 2011, 10:41 AM

I feel so much for my boy Ashraful. Where was he back then and where is he now???

Go tigers.

Based on my observation, in recent times, Tigers play like that everyday

but it is our batting that let us down!
