Re: Pakistan vs India

He's out now. Brilliant fielding by Yuvraj, but the running was really bad. Pakistan are struggling a little as Butt was the only batsman scoring the runs.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

2 wickets for Sachin!!!! Malik was unlucky but Sachin bowled very smartly to Afridi and purposely bowled wides to stump him. pakistan are in a lot of trouble. Great bowling by India today  :D
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

all the spinners bowled well today.... the pitch is slow and low bounce so 250 is very good score but now afridi is out so they are in trouble.....the batsman should be batting better because they are defending all balls..... only 5 overs left so we should not let them more than 230.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

Seems that India want to get this over and done with as fast as possible.

The early loss of Tendulkar hasn't seemed to have any real effect on the scoring rate and they're still going at near 6 an over.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

all the indian batsman played well today..... i think the pakistani batsman was not able to score because india was very good in bowling..... pakistan dont have good spinners where is danish kaneria
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

Indian spinners bowled better than pakistani spinners.When Butt got out and the run rate decreased a lot and they lost track. Most of indian batsman got good runs it was a good team effort. Pakistan fielding was so poor today how did they missed gambhir twice.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

It was a bad performance by Pakistan except for Yousuf and Shoaib. I think they were about 30-40 runs short. They were bad in the field too. The pitch had low bounce but it was still playable. India must be satisfied with their performance.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

Pitch looked slow to me and I thought that Pakistan were about 20 runs short.

Wasn't too impressed with Ahktar, and the Pakistan slow bowlers really didn't have the same impact as the Indian ones.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

I felt a bit let down by this game, maybe the hype was too much in the end.

India played well but Pakistan let the Indian spinners dictate the game too much. Malik is still developing as a captain but he needs some help - I wonder how much he gets from the senior players?

Dhoni continues to handle the job well and I'd like to see him take over the reigns of the test side.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

After smashing a double ton against Mumbai, Rahul Dravid should most probably be back into the Indian team from third ODI onwards. I wouldn't have dropped Dravid for Sehwag in any case. Sehwag should be given chances in Tests and not ODIs.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

yeah i think he should be back in the side. im going to pick sreesanth ahead of rp singh because rp doesnt look in good form.

He was hitting 150kph and getting early swing, so I think he did quite well. I just think he needs to get into cricket-fit shape which means shedding a few pounds so that he can run in faster and keep the pace up throughout a spell.

That's one thing that has always puzzled me, although he has the game for one day cricket, Sehweg has done better in tests, yet India seem determined to make him prove his worth in the limited overs game before the test team.

The guy averages close to 50 and should be in his peak years, yet the selectors look elsewhere at the likes of Jaffer.

Definately.

In my opinion, he must be in the test squad against Pakistan as the first string opener at the expense of Jaffer. It is now or never for Sehwag.

Jaffer is too inconsistant in test matches resulting in his poor batting average over quite a few tests. Currently, Gambhir has a better FC record (+ is younger) and Karthik and Sehwag have performed far better opening in tests. Jaffer has nothing going for him.

Indian selectors' decisions usually have a smidgen of sense behind them but keeping Jaffer is one of the exceptions.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

tomorow is the match in mohali......i heard that the pitch will have more bounce.....the toss is very important.....there will be lot of fireworks tomorow because its diwali and india pak match too.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

India and Pakistan is always a tight affair but i reckon Pakistan might edge this one, especially with all the off the field talk from the Indians about captains etc.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

India won the toss and the right decision to bat in my opinion, but they should have brought Kumar in for Kartik instead of Sehwag. Dew is going to be a factor in the evening. India have started to open up now after a cautious start. 280 should be a good score.
 
Re: Pakistan vs India

Bang on AB, 280-300 would be a very good score at this rate, they're going well above 5 RPO and nearly 6RPO, and we all know its the middle order who propel totals with decent big hitting.
