Cricket World Cup 2011 -Discussion Thread

Anybody looking for a place that is showing the World cup on large screen

I've found a place that has been showing the world cup live on large screen - Ungaare Restaurant , located at 4th Floor terrace , Ezdan Hotel & Suites , west Bay , Doha.

The best part is no entry fees , you can watch the game while you enjoy great food at reasonable price.

Ungaare Restauarant located at Ezdan Towers and Suites ( near Olympic Tower) West Bay , Doha is showing ICC World Cup Final live on large screen

There is no entry fees , and the food and seeting is great

C'mon all Cricket Lovers lets join there

Recent overs 1 6 . 6 6 . | 1 4 1 4 1 2 | 6 3lb 1 2 1 4 | 4 1 1 1 4

Wow.... whts going on in Chennai.... Indian batters are beating Kiwis..left right n centre :)

47 overs, 335/4, Dhoni on crusade..:)-

The turf is not looking good. Hope they do something before the real game begins.

Very ordinary game of Cricket yesterday during India-Australia warm-up match.

Both teams looked completely out of sorts.

Though India won, they have more questions to answer than rejoice. Indian pace bowling looked completely out of form. Except Sreesanth(whose place in playing 11 is not assured) all others were just pathetic.

Fielding was horrible.

Australia have serious issues tackling spin. Their middle order is compltely incapable of playing quality spin bowling. If they want to reach anywhere near Semis they have to adress their ability to play spin in subcontinent.

Folks, I opened this thread to discuss game of Cricket, please keep your love for Malyali, Punjabi, Tamil at some other place.

Thanks!

Guru Gulab is a sick person... He is back again

lol Arien

I hope so, till that the weather will not remain cool.

ONLY INDIA,,,,,,,ON PAPER.....

cryspy and I wana be by your side, and you better be in a swimming costume :) India win or loose you will be thrown to the water :P

why not get approval from authorities and manage the giant screen on corniche by ourselves for India & Pak match?

will sports bar (in Ramada) telecast live matches during WC, like football WC..???

I think QCA should arrange a giant screen on Corniche atleast for IND_PAK match. It will be worth watching it there.

It will end in 100% peacfull condition as it's in Doha. Morever it will be a enjoyable moment. What QCA doing here !!!

SwineFlu...that will be one situation.

Imagine, people from Pakistan and India watching India Vs Pak match on giant screen...how peacefully it will end :)

There is nothing for cricket lovers in Doha. There should be giant screen to watch CWC 2011 live.

SF, in Doha only...time for cricket meet it seems..:)-

I am here. Long time no see............(lol). Are you in Doha or in vacation ?

Bangladesh should be a cakewalk this time. Last time India was over-confident hence upset.

This time they will be extra-careful.

Still, Australia is a force in One Day games, despite their slide in Tests.

India has low chance given the middle order is horribly out of form.

Can India survive again Bangladesh?

Swine Flu, where r u mate....long time..........

India is definately not going to win this world cup.

Batsmen like, Gambhir, Raina, Dhoni, Yuvraj are going through worst form of their life.

140/8 in 30 over. What a performance by India today !!!!

sri lanka & Australia in a group are likely to qualify 4 the next round, pakistan doesn't have bright chance!!

back in 2007, when australia won WC, our aussie friends , in office, arranged a Gala party.....:D

..good ol days....:)-

lets see who's next....!

That's good idea......

We'll have treat/get together ..sure...!!

if India lift the cup..

I will be waiting for the treat :)

Khanan, what is vice versa treat???

India's key player is no doubt Sehwag.

If Viru can stay even till 30 overs, the game is over as far as opposite team is concerned.

But Viru's record in ODIs is not great.

I think it will be tough call for India selecting batsmen since either of Yusuf pathan or Virat Kohli has to sit!

for a treat...

if Pakistan lift the cup

and vice versa...:)

so its tough fight between SL, ENG & SA, just based on captains....

India may get chocked due to enormous pressure....remember 1987 WC!!,

pakistan, i doubt if afridi is the respected leader in team itself..

Aus- ricky has lost the clout,

..who else???

on this account, I find Dhoni (being a wonderful leader)can do something good however major odd against him is home disadvantage.....no one could win it at home..and i am sure this trend is going to continue....sorry guyz...for not predicting india to lift cup.....(i wish i am wrong)

normal trend has been(i hope someone supports me on this) sofar:

teams won WC on (1) due to a great captain (2) a gr8 captain supported by a good team...

Now to analyse-

as for teams, all teams at this level are almost equally good.....the difference lies at having a magical captain......

pakistan won due to Imran khan's magical leadership.....

same goes with kapil Dev, Allan border, steve waugh, ricky ponting, ranatunga, clive lloyed.....they had magical leadership skills.......

Why england did not win sofar, simple, they always had great teams (that's why they reach many semis) but not a great captain post 1975.

Pakistan is highly unpredictable team. I won't bet on them.

England has got a good balanced team this time. They have Swann -- the world's current Best Spinner & given the subcontinent wickets being spin freindly, I am sure he will be the one to watch for.

I still think, Sri Lanka is highly under-rated considering they play best in subcontinent.

no wonder if its pakistan ...wounded lions!!!! and this is the time for them to take the bull by horn.....i want them to beat (no, crush) england......worth watching....:)-

spare India guyz...lol

who ever wins..for me it's good timepass for 2-3 months......yawn....:)-

Its gonna be either india or pakistan, i am just waiting for a Final between India and Pak .. thats gonna be a great match and watch

As far as Prediction of winner is concerned, on paper, South Africa, England & India have got best players.

But typically South Africa have has a distinct reputation of choking in crucuial games, specially knockout stages.

So I guess, this time it's either United Queendom a.k.a. England or India :)

Espncricket will broadcast all games live on Internet.

So in case you guys are not able to watch Cricket on TV due to broadcasting Channel Nazis, you always have the option of clicking on Internet :)

Are there any places to watch Cricket World cup in a Jiant screen in Doha? Like wise foe FIFA 2010.

about the Indian first game..............

I think Englad and Srilanka have been palying consistently good. Australia are true professionals and India can play well on their own pitches. Even Bangladesh have performed much better in 2010 but saying all only one team has the ability to surprise rather shock the world. PAKISTAN

SRI LANKA HAS FAIR CHANCE

for sure one team out of 14 will lift the World cup

Canada will surely be the first when counting from the last ;)

:P

Viiiiiivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Canada,.

watch and where to watch because i know Showtime wont broadcast any of world cup matches.

India , Pakistan , South Africa, England and Srilanka are good teams.. all have fair chances , now who is gona win will be purely depending on who plays well in the coming 30 days.

Pakistan...

and on paper...

India, SA and Australia....

Bangaldesh

Pakistan South Africa OR may be Australia

most probably

opinion cup belongs to either India or England, both are in great forms, and India enjoys home conditions and they are very good batting side on Indian pitches, especially Sehwag, Sachin, Raina, Yuvaraj and Yousuf.

India & Australia have a fair chance. England & South Africa are playing good but their bowling might not click to a greater extent on sub-continent pitches. Sri Lanka & Pakistan can surprise us.
