India tour of Pakistan

[-$ohail-]

GR8 win
Well played to bot teams
At 96/6 pak were down and out but malik and moin brought them close
Even i thought that they had a chance till sami got out

Test series will be a tame draw going by the pitches in the ODI series
India played gr8 test cricket in AUS and if they do the same they should be quite hard to beat . More importantly, kumble and agarkar come back

i think amir is really very upset with pakistan's defeat,that now he is hitting on indian members, pakistan played really well throughout the series,but they dint win the last match that doesnt mean they are bad team.
we still have to remember that pakistan has the best bowling attack in the world,

but what was worrying me was balaji hitting six for akhtar and even pathan scoring on sami's and akhtar's bowling, if a bowler cant get the wickets of balaji ,what could i say about him now, : :

india is going to thrash them in the test,but i have a strong feeling that all the test will be a draw except multan , :

I don't know what game your talking about but the one I just seen an update on India are travelling along nicely

I honestly thought that India was about 30 runs short.
But Pakistan really played poorly(I am not trying to undermine Pathans performence)
Luckily for India pakistan lost half their side before the dew factor came into play
Moin Khan and Malik showed that one the dew came into consideration batting became really easy.
Had the pakistan top order played sensibly Pakistan would have won.


Anyway great going India.
Lets hope that they do well in the test matches too.

at one point i feel happy for india,but looking at the broken hearts of our pakistani freinds ,i feel sad too! :sorry:

cuz after 14 years they got a chance to play india at home ,and they had a chance to beat them in the series,too with inzy going great gunns,but pakistan's bowling ,which is supposed to be the world strongest ,led the pakistan's fans down,conceding more then 150 extras in the series,

anyway best of luck to both the teams for the test ,i hope pakistan does well here atleast

 

[indyan]

Pakistan has conceded more extras than any other team.
They have so far conceded 4058 wides,1904 no balls,816 byes,4223 leg byes ,totalling to 11001.
Behind them is India with a total of 8998. :huh:

actually pcb did a smart thing, u c y they scheduled multan as the first test...it is because multan didnt host any odis so therefore they have had time to prepare the pitch and with multan being the first test, it gives the curators a little more time to fix up pindi and lahore for the tests

i am upset but i didnt see where i attacked indians :blink:

more over remeber those last words ricky....u have to be careful..just remeber pak are thrid best test team for a reason since they havent lost in seven tests and four of those test were against the #2 and #3(and the #3 was at home...we beat nz in nz!!! not even sa can do it)

 

[f0bstyle]

i have to agree with amir on this one, overconfidence and complacency brings suffering. If india walk into the match complacent thinking they barely have to show up to win, they will lose. Same goes to all the fans, we cant control what happens in the matches but i have a strong feeling that if we as Indian fans get too overconfident over the success of the ODI series, we will have a rude awakening.

All said, India have been playing really good test cricket. They should have beaten the Aussies 2-1 or even 3-0. I dont think they should have lost the Melbourne test, that should have been a draw.

When it comes to playing in Pakistan though, it is a completely different story. There is added pressure because of the rivalry. Look at India's record in tests in Pakistan, i believe india have never won a test there, and so It will be interesting to watch how the series plays out.

Best of luck

 

[Nirav85]

lets hope u r right about the rude awakening part :

moreover this will be a good test series, inzi is high on confidence, pathan is too but alot of pak batsmen r feeling their way...but they better not drop imran farhat...he deserves a chance

 

[ricky123]

look all uguys including fobs ,told that india will losse 4-0 in australia ,before the test started,but if u check even then i told that india will do good, ,and even now i told before this match that india will win,and india won,

paksitan may have beaten anyone ,but remember when india plays pakistan or pakistan plays india,it is entirely different,the past form doesnt work at all ,it is on the given dya who does best wins, why i told u that india will thrash pakistan,there are many reasons,first of all pakistan's players are all shaken up ,by the hard words of inzy ,and plus the match fixing thingy,and balaji batting so well against the fastest bowler in the world,

i know multan is a good picth so i am sure there will be a result there,but i cant say about anyother test,but india will not loose this series,thats a bet from me,

remmeber confidence is the key ,even inzy said this that india has an edge,
there is no problem in being over confident,cuz there will be five days to get thier act together.
best of luck to both teams :

 

[f0bstyle]

yeah but you used the word thrash...which is blatantly filled with complacent overtones. its one thing to say india will win, its another to say they will thrash or demolish pakistan.
