?? Naved ul Hasan's decision was correct, it should hit the stumps. Malik's was a bit dubious.

good win for india and sai..you've done a terrific job in keeping this series and our excitement alive. kudos to you.

I too thought Malik's wicket was a bit dubious!! Ul Hasan's wicket looked out to me!

Thanks mate! I hope I keep up an even better excitement when the ODI series comences!!
 
Pakistan all out for 312!

To keep this thread alive and have some excitement, I have decided to include the scores and discussion on the India vs Pakistan current real life test series going on in Mohali.

Ganguly won the toss luckily and inserted Pakistan to bat. A decision certainly prompted by the grass on the wicket!

Pakistan have been bowled out for 312. A very good performance from them especially after being reduced to 38/2 and 191/6. I feel if India had batted, we would have bundled up for a lower score than this! We sometimes get terrified by the wicket more than the opposition bowlers! Great innings from Asim Kamal and Inzamam (Ha ha, again he is the savior here!).

L Balaji bowled brilliantly to take 5 wickets for 76 runs. Man, this guy is starting off from where he left in Pakistan!! Zaheer bowled well too though Pathan can bowl more better! It should be a very exciting remaining 4 days (close to what we had here in this thread!)

Comments on this appreciated! We can discuss on the series until our ODI series starts!

anyhow, a 2-1 series win is more interesting than a whitewash!! And it was close too so many were interested in this series..

I agree 2-1 series is indeed much more intresting then a whitewash...
but u know even if its in cricket2004 when its Ind vs. Pak u always want your team to win in best possible way....
good series though...looking forward for ODI's
 
Your welcome littlegenius..

Ok guyz, the ODI series will have the correct faces of all players (Thanks to Rahul for the exact Pakistani faces released just now).

Both teams have reached Pune for the first ODI encounter and are practising heavily! The new ODI player included have reached Pune and the test players are back to their domestic sides! Match starts on the 13th (after the end of the Mohali test!). Detailed report to come tomorrow! AI patch still undecided and more thinking is being done on which one to use!

It would be good if some one can help me in the correct and current Pakistani ODI line up for this ODI series! I need it by 12th night!

There is a problem with your team file. Whichever file I import it into (roster.pak or the .sav game file), it totally corrupts the file. I imported it into the roster.pak and now it says "Index out of bounds" and my roster.pak file is destroyed now. I have to get a new copy of a roster.pak file.

Do one thing Pak_cricketer. Post all the three ODI line ups in a message here and I will update them one by one in the Line Up editor.
 
Balaji on a roll at Mohali!!! Pakistan 10/2!!! Man, thats awesome stuff from Balaji! He is terrific!!!

Edit: DEAR OH DEAR!!! WHATS HAPPENING AT MOHALI!! PAKISTAN 10/3??? WHAT ARE THEY UPTO??

Yes, he is certainly in my mind when I pick the Indian final XI for the first match at Pune!

He adds variety to the Indian attack for sure. Now Zaheer has to buck up!! If the next wicket at Kolkatta is a turner, he might be the man to miss out!!!

First ODI at Pune

Both teams are practising heavily at Pune for the first ODI encounter to begin tomorrow on the 13th of March. The captains have let out their final XI's and here they are according to their batting order!

*************************

India Line Up

Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Lakshmipathy Balaji

Pakistani Line Up:

Salman Butt, Yasir Hameed, Shoaib Malik, Inzamam U Haq, Yousuf Youhana, Younis Khan, Abdur Razzaq, Shahid Afridi, Mohammed Sami, Shoaib Akthar, Shabbir Ahmed

*************************

India have decided to give Balaji a go instead of Zaheer Khan and also a specialist wicketkeeper is being drafted into the squad at the expense of VVS Laxman and Kaif is preferred ahead of Laxman on terms of his fielding skills and agility between the wickets. This is being done to relieve Dravid of the burden of wicketkeeping! Not many surprises in the Pakistani line up. Akthar comes back to the team after missing the test series.

The wicket promises to be a belter and a score of 270-300 is certainly expected on this track. The ground is smaller than the other Indian grounds and so finding the boundary wouldnt be tough either. A run feast in on the cards! The team that keeps the pressure up would probably be victorious in the end!

AI PATCH: BOSS'S CGPv2RR patch and the included field settings!) - Hard Mode

ODI Series viewers contest:

Pick the Man of the Series and the team which is going to win this series! The winner gets reputation points from me (the amount of points of course and as usual decided by the administrators)! Answers for both questions should be correct! A wrong answer to either question disqualifies you! Only one attempt per ID! Contest closes at the start of the second innings of the third ODI!

(Can the administrators here suggest some good and new reward for the winner of this contest? I will be having the current reward too). And is the reward that I have announced fine with you guys?
