India in Pakistan

[Gunner786]

pakistan should try shoaib malik as an opener instead of akmal!!
we need akmal in lower order incase of collapse!
even in 3rd test he played like it was an odi match getting his century of something like 128 balls!!

No Guys how abt Raina and Pathan open the inning. It will mad fun. Yeahhhh

 

[SaiSrini]

Will watch the 5th ODI live. Will follow the U-19 World Cup final on Cricinfo if available!

Great match thats gonna be! Hope India wins the World Cup!

Try something new...Dravid hinted on that.
For the team's sake, send Kaif 1 down! He needs to spend more time in the middle. Raina/Kaif will come up the order, along with Sachin. May be send Dhoni as well.

They may want to try a different pace attack, may be open with Agarkar/Khan and Sreesanth and then have IP and RPS bowling the middle-overs.
Whatever it is, we can expect an exciting contest, purely for entertainment purpose.

ya,India is far ahead of Pakistan currently.

India is "far ahead" of Pakistan? Surely this is said with a lot of tongue in cheek. India has won one series against Pakistan and yet you claim that India are far ahead. Assuredly you did not miss the Karachi test, where was this 'far ahead' cricket team? Even in the other test matches, India, though they batted under pressure commendably, were always playing catch up to Pakistan, not the sign of a team that is superior. India completely outplayed Pakistan in this series but does this really give Indian fans the right to hurl insults that are really quite baseless. Perhaps Indian fans do not realise that a strong 11 does not make a better side but a relaible and quality bench of talent as well. What other team in world cricket has 4-5 bowlers who can bowl over 140 kph (the quickest India could manage) and yet these bowlers hardly get a look in.
You have had a fine win but fabulous play is often marred by foul comments as is unfortunately the case here.

Sachin is likely to be rested along with Irfan Pathan! Most likely, this will be the Indian line up!

Gautam Gambhir
MS Dhoni
Md Kaif
R Dravid
Yuvraj Singh
SK Raina
R Powar
A Agarkar
Zaheer Khan
RP Singh
Sreesanth

read...I said "currently" which means right now & it does not include the test series which took place some time back.

Oh shut up! India were playing catch up to Pakistan?? Just because Pakistan batted first on pitches where even I can notch up a century against the likes of Shoaib Akthar!! Still India werent faced with pressure of totals like 679 and 584 and India batted way better than Pakistan in both those tests. I would agree India played badly at Karachi! But there is not much that seperates both teams!

India have proved in this ODI series that they are ahead of Pakistan. The important part is fielding and Indians are way way ahead in that! Their bowling has the skill to bowl out Pakistan. The batting is one of the strongest in the world! So you agree or not - India is ahead of Pakistan!

I think Kaif will come up the order at Karachi!

India I think will play for a 4-1 win and Pakistan will surely play for a 3-2 salvage. The final match promises to be exciting again even though the series is decided!

Yes you could have done it with a pitch of 100m in length.

India is ahead of Pakistan

I seems you yourself cannot decide, how will you convince me.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Trying finding themselves on the internet. It isn't that difficult.

There isn't much that separates the two teams, but what 'much' there is puts India slightly ahead of Pakistan. At the moment that is.

Trying finding themselves on the internet. It isn't that difficult.

There are alot, like former Indian hockey captain Pillay slapping the team manager, Dravid tampering the ball, Ganguly misbehaving with numerous ppl etc.

These things happen everywhere, the fact that someone is making a video of it and someone is proudly pasting a link shows a sick mind.

This thread will become very ugly if we go on like this.

And in one dayers that is

Also congratulations to the Pakistani and Indian fans (also others who participated). After some lately fighting we can jointly cheer about something. We have now 3625 posts. We beat the Ashes thread, which was on 3599. :happy

Don't cheer that much, now some stupid fans are pasting links of video of disgraceful moment of each other countries

!

The real test came on pitch that had something for the bowlers, and Indian batsmen faulted there.It doesn't matter how few wts Indian lost on a road,but on sporting pitches they just blew away.

India's pathtic performance in Karachi test cannot be played down by stating that they batted better on 2 roads.Fact is that India lost the Karachi test by a huge margin, and the difference b/w the team in the end looked more than "not much"!
