Multan to become fourth stadium with floodlights

You cannot make grassy wickets within days. It just cannot happen. Multan should be another belter. There might be some lateral movement due to the conditions, like the third ODI.
India should fancy their chances of wrapping up the series but you'll never know with cricket.

i doubt it... the grass is going to be dry grass.... and not sure how much of it will be left onto the pitch when the game starts!
a total of 270 is definitely not low scoring and inzy says 270 is possible here! inzy got it wrong at rawalpindi and so i am not going by all what he says!
MohdIrshaad said:
same.. thats a correct one.. india can have pakistan on the mat too if the grass exists!
i dont think the pcb will make the mistake of having grass on the wicket and avoid the run flow in the match!
jan said:
well, lets see. i cant see a grassy pitch being prepared. i dont have hopes on inzamam or the coach woolmer or the board being positive and playing to their strength! they are afraid of the indian bowlers who thrive on helpful conditions! so i dont see inzy or woolmer or the pcb opting for a bowler friendly pitch.
it might not be a 300+ pitch but it will be a good pitch for batting with some assistance for the pacemen!

Yes! I think Multan wont be a grassy pitch. Its all white grass!

Check what it says of the pitch..... It should be aiding the batsman again!
I really hope India wins here and wraps up the series 4-1; somehow, something tells me this will be 3-2...
Well! If we look at the possibilities, India has a 2 to 1 atvantage, because the three likely outcomes are 4-1, 3-2 India, 3-2 Pakistan...then again there is always the chance of a game being miraculously rained out and the series ending in a draw...

The thing is, you really can't compare players between the two teams.
1) Inzi is not in the best of forms, Sachin is in good form. You can always count on Sachin, even when he scores 10 in a match...people still bet on him. Thats the main difference.
2) Yousuf looked in wonderful touch in the test series but he was hasty in all the matches so far, looking very tentative. Dravid is quite composed for now.
3) Iqbal does not have the experience to match Kaif. Kaif is clearly more superior, even with the averages.
India have a solid batting line-up and in this ODI series, is definitely an inch or two better than Pakistan. An inch might look small but makes a big difference in cricket.
But Pakistan can strike back anytime, from any point (batting, bowling or even the third horse!)

Irfan Khan Pathan is going to strike any time.I can tell you this guy is an absolute legend, and both Butt and Yousuf are his bunny!
India win the toss again!
Well, I hope India use it to their advantage! But the toss is not going to matter much! If Pakistan get set and have their top batsmen by the 25th over, then they are set for a total in excess of 300. If India can pick up 4 to 5 wickets by the 25th to 30th over, then it will be the same story!
Whatever, its going to be a cracking game! in vbookie, i have bet it on Pakistan becoz betting on them might give me a profit in vcash! though i hope i dont get back my vcash!
Why is India not trying out Powar? Why do they have Zaheer as the Super Sub? They decide to field and we all know it! Shouldnt they have had a batsman as a Super Sub? And where is the variety in the bowling? Even Sachin bowls medium pace! All bowlers bowl at over 100mph except for some slower balls that occur rarely from Pathan or Sreesanth!
I dont quite like Dravid's team selection!

India seem to have a lot of faith in their batters to chase down a total. The key is to get out Malik as he is the form batsmen in this series.
Its lucky for Dravid that this supersub rule is going to the scrap because he clearly has no idea how to use it.
Congrats to Butt he is still in after 1 over of Pathan

Good start from India, initial movement but early wickets will be key!
