Pakistan in India

[Adarsh]

Tbh Manee, I think Adarsh said that with his tongue in his cheek.

Yes and no. I'm not talking of this in particular incident, but generally I feel it makes for better entertainment when the two teams go for each others' throats. The thrill of watching the games between these two is great when the players hate each other. The Aamir Sohail and Venkatesh Prasad incident for example.

Nowadays, it's too lovey dovey. MS Dhoni and Malik are just brothers from another mother.

The only real rivalry is between the fans

 

[usy]

Psssh. I don't like all this friendliness !! Bring back the fire, the anger with which the two used to play against each other !

well all that just in the Cricket Field. here is something known as humanity.

Teams (probable)

Pakistan 1 Kamran Akmal (wk), 2 Salman Butt, 3 Younis Khan, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Shoaib Malik (capt), 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Sohail Tanvir, 9 Rao Iftikhar Anjum, 10 Abdur Rehman, 11 Shoaib Akhtar.


WTF?

 

[.Mob]

What's wrong with that? Butt's inclusion?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Iftikhar Anjum deserves the chance, because he has been performing, but I am not sure about Tanvir. Also Butt made a fifty in the warm-up, but he will fail again.

 

[usy]

1. I repeat. You cannot open with Kamran Akmal, he is not a specialist opener. As Imran Khan always says…

2. Why the hell is only one specialist opener playing in the Team, while you have 3 openers in squad.

3. Where is Umar Gul?

4. So Salman’s 83 against Delhi XI means he will perform, in this ODI? I'm not sure, and I don’t think so. Kamran Akmal will just get out playin a loose shot. Salman Butt will make no more then 30 or 20. All the pressure on Younus, Yousuf, Malik.

5. Sohail Tanvir may turn out to be a bad choice, not sure.

6. Kamran Akmal .. again..

What's wrong with that? Butt's inclusion?

He doesn?t prove himself to me by scoring 83 against Delhi XI.

Butt>Nazir any day. Better talent, better strokes.

 

[Cricketman]

So are they doing the early start or no?

 

[.Mob]

Probably yes, according to Cricinfo it starts at 3:30am (GMT) and it's normally at around 4:30 (GMT) here in the UK. Don't quote me though.

-According to willow.tv, but...

 

[sohum]

Don't forget DST ended. It's 3.30 GMT so that's 9.30 pm CST and 10.30 pm EST in the US.

 

[Ramz]

match starts at 3am UK time becasue of late night due, so they starting 30mins earlier.. cant wait!!!!! 1hr and 50mins to go

 

[SaiSrini]

Pakistan to bat first! India need to use the early moisture really well if they have to keep Pakistan down to a restrictable total. I would open with Pathan and Zaheer.

 

[sohum]

It's starting 30 minutes earlier than scheduled. AKA in one minute.
