pakistan better play sami next match!!
india getting used to the speed of 84-85mph from asif,rana,gul!!
sami could be the difference in the last 2 matches!!
no way will he keep 100% strike rate after 100 matches!!

i doubt he'll keep that up for long!!bharat said:

Well, if he can keep a strike rate of 90-95 by his 100th match, he would have done extremely well... but i predict he would at least have a strike rate of over 80 always throughout his career! he is that sort of a player! SENSATIONAL!
I think India have the wood over Sami so far! He has gone for lot of runs against them! So I dont think India might have a problem with him. Of course, speed doesnt matter much in the ODI's where its not easy for the bowler to intimidate the batsmen with his speed alone! He has to have guile, variation to have success against the batsman!

This was his 33rd match and he has reached 1000 runs at a fantastic clip!
I think he looks set for many more (if he keeps this going!)
Our search for a specialist wicketkeeper batsman and an all rounder ends here! But now we search for a genuine fast bowler. The sooner we tackle it, the better it is for India!

That'll come sooner for India. For now, we have Khan, Pathan, Agarkar, RPS, Sreesanth, and in the sidelines Nehra (don't start a issue with him again) and Balaji. Munaf Patel and VRV Singh are in contention for the England series.
Competition will bring the best out of them, including pace.

I was disappointed about Inzamam's captaincy. I knew it when he let bowl Rana in the final overs it won't be a good choice. For me Asif and Razzaq would be a better choice. Also letting Afridi bowl wasn't a good choice either.
But it was a good runchase by India. Dhoni made the difference there and deserved to be Man of the Match.
But the difference again between these two countries is minimal.

Check out this guys stats. Hussey ODI average 100.22, SR 99.77. Hehe dam that is brillant, hes just missing a 100.
Pakistan bowling seems to have lost its threat since the 1st ODI. India's batters have had no problem in keeping them out. Pakistan badly need Akhtar to come back into the side. Asif has been the lone ranger for Pakistan.

be it now or 10 years back, the difference between both teams is one man...Tendulkar.
India can have Dhoni, Yuvraj, Dravid, Sehwag and Kaif. Pakistan also have Yousuf, Inzi, Younis, Malik and Afridi. Same with bowling department, if Pakistan have Asif, India have Pathan (batting can be compared to Razzaq), then Zaheer/Sreesanth/RPS/Agarkar match Gul/Arafat/Razzaq/Naved combination.
Its just that one difference. Tendulkar.
I wish i saw the match...especially the way he tackled the initial 20 overs.

That's not a right thing to say. For Pakistan the front man has been Inzamam-ul-Haq, who pulled out Pakistan out of trouble a lot of times with Muhammad Yousuf. What he does for Pakistan isn't easy to forget.
Also during these years there was some guy named Saeed Anwar, who for me was one of the best opener Pakistan had. Together with Aamir Sohail they were a solid opening pair.
That they've lost some matches doesn't mean people should forget that easy who the main player for Pakistan is.

Good to see the Indians not rubbing it on to the Pakistani wounds !
Prez.Musharraf , I thought made a great gesture by encouraging both sides and his comment on Dhoni and his hair.
Moin Khan , did a huge mistake by commenting on Sachin`s ability in his columns .
He has motivated the great man and he is looking in superb touch now!
Actually, the last few times Tendulkar has got out in the 90s and 80s, India have won ! I would list a few.
98 V Pakistan at Centurion , WC 2003
97 V SRL at Jo`burg WC2003
87 V AUS at Brisbane VB Series 2004
94 V SRL at Nagpur 2005
95 V Pak at Lahore 2005
Now on to his last few 100s
141 V Pakistan at Rawalpindi 2004 (India lost by 12 runs)
123 V Pakistan at Ah`bad 2005 (India lost by 3 wickets)
100 V Pakistan at Peshawar 2005 (India lost by D/L : 7 runs)
If Iam not wrong, Sachin`s last hundred resulting in an Indian win was his 103 against NZ in the TVS Cup Tri-Series in 2003.
It shows that Tendulkar has been setting up matches for the side but they have been unable to capitalize on that.
Rana Naved looked superb against England but now he looks aweful .
One thing that came to my mind y`day was that India will b very tough to beat for England with the Indian top order in ominous form (especially in ODIs).
Also, we are now starting to see an Indian side who are beginning to look real contenders for the WC next year.
As Nasser Hussain said, `India need to find one more bowler who can suport Pathan and bowls at a decent speed an they`ll be a big contender for th WC 2007`
I feel Sreesanth has it in him to be a strike bowler. He has the aggression and the right attitude.
He needs to just tone it down a bit.
If we can strike the right combination in the bowling dept., we have the batting which can post 300+ consistently on the good ODI pitches which the Carribean will offer.

This series remains interesting only coz of the D/l factor in the first match which deprived India of being the deserving winners, otherwise there seems to be a no contest between the two teams.India are rock solid in nearly all department of the games and are playing as a team, while Pakistan are pathetic and no match to Indian team.
4-1 to India
