ASIA CUP March 2012 - Discussion Thread
India embark on a 3 game group stage to face their Asian friends (or not!) in the once-in-two-years tournament, The Asia Cup. All matches taking place at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur, Bangladesh.
India will face:
- Sri Lanka (again) on March 13, Tuesday. / Ind won by 50 runs
- Bangladesh (hosts) on March 16, Friday. | Ind lost by 5 wickets
- Pakistan (arch-rivals) on March 18, Sunday. | Ind won by 5 wickets
And if they end up top two, they'll be in the finals. Can the Men in (Light)Blue put up a solid performance? They are the defending champions of the tournament, having won the last edition in 2010.
The squad: MSD (capt), V.Kohli (vc), S.Tendulkar, S.Raina, Rohit Sharma, G.Gambhir, M.Tiwary, Y.Pathan, I.Pathan, R.Jadeja, R.Ashwin, Rahul Sharma, P.Kumar, R.V.Kumar, A.Dinda
20-3-2012: India are now out of the tournament.
22-3-2012: Bangladesh v/s Pakistan in the finals.
Reason: update
lolI know Leo. I do watch Cricket
Hahahaha. I do that too. I multi-task
MultiTasking has become a feature of all computers since many years!
My team for tmrws match v/s SRI LANKA.
Tendulkar, Gambhir, Kohli, Raina, Tiwary, Dhoni, Yusuf, Irfan, Ashwin, Praveen, Dinda.
Ok. Who 5 bowlers then? Irfan opens bowling with Dinda and bowls 10 overs each. Only Ashwin left as full bowler if you bring Rohit instead of Praveen. So 20 overs btwn Kohli, Rohit, Yusuf and Raina? Is that a good option against Lankans?
Today's Favorite for me is Sri Lanka ...........
Hope Sachin can get his 100th century against Bangladesh
@ Vinay, Too optimistic ........ But it would be really great if he can pull it in that match ......
I seem to recall India losing the match
After a year Sachin hits another ton. And India again lost the match. I am just wondering what thoughts would be going thru his mind.
India are setting the score, Sri Lanka win toss and wish to chase.
India: Tendulkar, Gambhir, Kohli, Rohit S, Raina, Dhoni, Jadeja, Irfan, Ashwin, Praveen, Vinay.
Tendulkar fell early, but Gambhir & Kohli sticking together in a good partnership.
India 155/1 in 32 overs.
err.. you mean tooooo early.. :P
Strong partnership, both nearing hundreds... Ind 209/1 in 40 ov. GG 95 VK 97.
Good hitting down the order.. 2 ov left, 280 on the board.. can they breach 300?
Yes they can, and they have. Target for SRL will be 305 in 50 overs!
Wow , me tooo . There is some kind of connection between 2 DS's .....
Good RR reqd is less than 6 again . Hope it remains below that only ... and Sanga has also joined the party .....
I have stopped supporting Indian team since Dravid Retirement ........... Support to Aussie was more to get SL prepared Asia cup . I know they are going to take this cup .
Come on SL target is gettable ,with dew also favoring .......

Leo, as the haiku master orders you to write, and i as his pupil second him.

PS: dont mind my abuses(i doubt if they ARE even abuses :P just go and write. for me and for Leo. ok???? GO NOW.

Nope. She's just a supporter of what is right. Now go write poem. Abhi!
yeah i always support the right *assumes a saintly expression* :P write naaaaa DS. pleaseeee....
Damn, I can't pull off that cute wala "please" like she does. "cute".
yay!!! so it seems an added bonus that i am cute :P :P *pats herself on the back*
so are you writing DS or should i change from 'cute' tactic to 'irritating' tactic???
Ok. DS, i know you are lurking out there. since my cute tactic didnt work... i am switching to the irritating one :P :P i can multitask :P
see Leo. hum dono hamesha kisi na kisi ko bhaga dete hain :P :P
i think we bugged him a bit too much *feels guilty*
come back na DS??? pleaseeeeee?? :P
There's that cute "please" again.. Can't mimic..
So, abey saale cricket wise DS saab, wapis aao jaldi :P
bohot bhav khate ho DS!!
ab MAIN baat nahi karti! jao bhaad mein!!
DUH.

agreed. a proper poem is what we want, and a proper poem is what we will settle with
*folds her arms and legs and sits down firmly*
i am not going anywhere till you post.
huh.
@DS,
No no. not enough. We want a proper, non crickety poem on your blog.
nice try DS, but its not working... if you want me to die with joint ache(remember i am sitting with my arms and legs folded), fine... i will die that way, but remember that i sacrificed my innocent, kalf-lived life just for the sake that a friend will poem :(
PS: ok that was too dramatic :P
come on DS! i am not joking yaar! i love it when you write. and i am sure i will love it when you poem too!! i tell you every single time that you are a really GOOD writer, you would do awesome with crative writing... should i think that you didnt take me seriously then?? i thought you did.
sorry for the emotional blackmail :P but... i would love it if you write a poem... and i am sure Leo will love it too... more than that YOU will love it yourself too... just TRY... please...
Yeah, DS.. write write write.. (or do u write only if Watson tells you to? )
he he. chup chap pehle hi maan jate to itna drama nahi karna padta :P
ah my tired arms and legs... mommy!! i want a massage!! :P :P :P
haan yaar. ab bas karo. ab bura maan gaya to hum kya karen... sorry DS. if i hurt you. it was unintentional....
Yup are you watching it on TV
Ok @ vinay ........ @ DS which thread should i read for your story there so many thread for Relay of stories....
Got it dear ....... You have pulled my leg by including me into the list of "the Great bloggers" ......
Thanks Ds ....... but still long way to go for me ... Others you have mentioned are class apart ......
Mahela is gone .............Drinks or Redbull did it ,.
@ DS ...........
nah he reads mine :P
@DS, I have Cricbuzz ka live android app re.. not the website! Website dheela hai. I know.
This is probably the first time I have seen DS use a smiley Well Done DS
And @ DS ........... Thanks from my side too ....
I think we should have prefix/suffix so has to clearly distinguish the DSs .......
duh. after 18 overs India were 73. now SL is 122. duh.
and some luck probably ..........
Leo *glares at leo* kisko support kar rahe ho?????
tum jake bana dete uske leo.
Yes yes. Chandimal.. now waiting for some action.. need good partnership, they do.
I know. I saw.. but its not all settled in the Indian favor as yet..
Don't worry ....... Its for the moments ... SL will rock......
