Might try the left arm bowler and try the line bw leg and turn it to middle with a fielder in the boundary onb legside!!! This might tempt Afridi go over the top and get trapped!!!!

Bolwers need to do some tricky things to get Boom boom afridi else Pakistan will be more comfortable!!!!! Great contest is ON :happy

Afridi needs to be back in the pavilion if India is going to have a chance of winning this game. Excellent as always ashu.

great thread ashu. i really like those fantasy kits. looks like the ones they used back in 1996 or 1997 when australia travelled to india to play in the one day comp with india and south africa.

Pakistani openers continued smashing Indian bowlers as Pakistan looks to chase the target in only 40 overs. Indian bowlers bowled with a strategy to Afridi to give him a single and get off the strike. but this policy soon backfired as salman butt now opened his hands by hitting 3 boundaries from RP Singh's fourth over. Agarkar gave little trouble to batsmen by his good out-swinging and slow deliveries but failed to provide a breakthrough. the required run rate is now only 4.50 and Dravid is forced to bring Harbhajan on the attack in 12th over. India seriously needs a breakthrough here.

Interesting decision to bring Harbhajan Singh on at the 11th over.

Superb work as always,

INDIA in deep trouble... Some quick wickets has to be taken..... Pakistan in driver seat!!!!

Come on Bhaji!!!

 

[ashu2411]

Despite Bhajji applying some brakes, Afridi reaches his half century from only 46 balls. There is definitely some turn for spinners and Dravid has decided to go with spinners from both ends with Harbhajan and M Kartik. The feild is now spread out and strategy will be to give Afridi a single and put brakes on scoring run rate.

M.Karthick has the gud chance of slowing a little bit!!!! Lets see what this spin attack do to Afridi!!! India's position is very dangerous now!!!!

But Karthick isn't playing...Kartik is...

Bring on Sachin and Yuvi. And the Monk. Don't forget the Monk. He can rip through Pakistan if he wasn't so modest...

Lets see how spinners bowl and as far asIndians are concerned, their shoulders are dropping as their loss seems to come even more closer.
