yeah so India too lost this BG trophy to allow Howard one another term down under???
...such churlish reasons nations can think of after losing the only series that was not meant to be lost...
...believe me fellas...Vajpayee's victory or loss depended more on what he did in India rather than what an Indian team did in Pakistan...we love cricket and consider it a religion, but fortunately our PM's tenures are not corresponding to the cricket team's fortunes...this is India for crying out aloud...the largest functional democracy in the world...such crap things can happen in nearby places but not here...there's a bit lesser crap that happens here
...
leaving politics to a political forum and coming back to cricket...Pakistan lost to
Second XI of Western Australia ...India lost to Pakistan A...India scored 320 plus in a onedayer and lost because of good batting by two players who happened to be in the A team but had international experience in their CV...Pakistan managed just 10-15 runs more than 320+ in two innings...got out for 83...frankly I don't see how you can compare these two events, esp. looking at the opposition that shall follow Pakistan's loss and that followed India's loss....one is sitting at Everest since ages and the other is trying to climb Kilimanjaro...ok leave it...
but in my opinion if the Pakistan team members are only blindly optimistic(like everyone here) and just try to move over this loss by citing past examples then bigger losses are in waiting and poor Woolmy's done for...but if they accept that they played p*ss poor cricket in second innings and set targets for improvement then of course they have a few guys who can give Aussies a bit of tough time...unless u accept where u stand how do u decide ur path to the destination? simple.
