well... duh!
I am currently following the India v Pakistan cricket on CricInfo while also getting the crowd cheers from just down the hill.
Seems to be a MASSIVE amount of Indian supporters there. Ya India.
ANYWAY, on Cricinfo as a link to one of their supporting articles was the following;
"With India batting first, they have a great chance to put up a big total on the board and have Pakistan under pressure while chasing, say the Match Point experts"
Okay, clearly posted just after the toss had been decided, but seriously, this is what EXPERTS tell us?
Great Chance?
Well duh! They also have a 'great' chance to have a massive batting collapse to allow Pakistan an easy win, and a 'great' chance to put an average score on the board. Sure, this great chance to get a big total is clearly the best case scenario for India at the very start of the game and clearly what India would have been aiming for. That is how One Day Cricket works. If you bat first, you want to post the biggest possible total, because it makes the other team's job harder when they bat. If you bowl first, you want to take quick and cheap wickets and force them to post the lowest score possible, because it makes your job easier when you bat later.
So as article headlines go, it's, well, pretty rubbish.
What next? When you got supermarket you will have a great chance to buy food?
