India in Pakistan

[ZoraxDoom]

Pathan's speed even dropped to 69.2 MPH for one delivery...

And Dhoni could generate large speeds bowling. He has strong arms, and if he had a longer run up and gave a delivery his all, who knows...

or India may reject future tours to Pakistan, seeing as their management is being impulsive nowadays.

I don't think that will happen though.


Pakistan is preparing dead track because they actually are frightened of facing Indian pacers on lively wkts.Pakistani batsmen haven't forgotten how Pathan and Balaji tormented them the last time around, they fear that such thing will happen again if they play India on green top wkt.

Unless Pakistan are able to overcome the fear of Indian pacer off their mind, they will never be able to compete with India.

Another dull draw, this test series has been boring so far. I hope India wins the 3rd test.

That, and they fear the batsmen. Remember the caning Akhtar got? The Pakistani batsmen have many flaws which include the swinging ball, but our batsmen don't.
They are just scared. Their decision not to declare on Day 5 and put up a fight to get a result shows that. Pure cowardice.

What a ridiculous post. Yes, we are sacred of your pacers even though one of our spinners can bowl as fast as your best pacer. : Younis didn't declare on day 5 because he wanted to rest his pacers for the third test. It was obvious that there was going to be no result out of this match, so why risk injuring our pacers? Besides, Akhtar was starting to feel some pain in his right ankle.

Isn't Dhoni the keeper? :help

 

[ZoraxDoom]

But they wouldn't have to bowl too much. Say 80 overs in the day, Your bowlers would need to bowl about 40-45 at the most. Why didn't Younis Khan want to try and get a result? India's batters would have been up to it. There was no need to let it become a draw.
And aparrently, you must be scared. Not you, but your batsmen. If you are so confident then how come you didn't produce Green pitches? The Pakistan team is just showing cowardice.

And while Dhoni was bowling Dravid was keeping. Standing up to the stumps. 2 fours and 2 no balls, 13 runs off the over.

And yes, Dhoni is the keeper. Imagine how bad our search for a fast bowler is that we are disscussing our keeper as a possible canditate :help

The match would've been either a draw or a win for India if Younis declared, there was no way Pakistan could win it from there on, so why waste our bowlers' energy?

Anyway, if you would look beyond slapping labels to the Pakistani team, you'll realize that big part of the reason behind these pitches was the curator's ignorance. The curator was unaware as to how the pitch will respond in this cold weather in northern Pakistan. Inzamam wanted the kind of pitch we had against England in Lahore, but he got a freaking road. Same in Faisalabad, the stadium that is famous for its draws. They seem to have learned their lessons and are creating a green pitch in Karachi.

Also remember, a lesser equipped Pakistan team drew a series with India in their own backyard last year after being in bad form. We have nothing to be scared of.

Looks like you have lost your faith in Kaneria and Akhtar. You do remember what they did to England, right? Even if you left 35(ish) overs, there was always the question of alteast trying to force a result. Smith's declaration against the Aussies is a prime example of good sportsmanship. They lost, but tried to force a result and took a risk. If you weren't scared, it was poor sportsmanship by Younis Khan and Pakistan.

Big difference, our batsmen were poor throughout the series and contributed to their own downfall more often than not. India's batsmen have shown no sign of any spectacular collapse which makes it perfectly understandable that Younis Khan didn't declare.

Not to forget, that pitch had something in it for the bowlers.

I heard Karachi might be another flat pitch, this test series as been boring so far, I hope Karachi has got something in for the bowlers.
