rameez - "sharma has caused the ball to stay low at times"...

fuggin rameez ... how exactly did he do that ?
 
Stay on the front foot and this pitch is awesome to bat on, if you don't believe it, then believe a record opening partnership from Pakistan. We've lasted many overs, cant count on fingers, tooooo many............
 
rameez is such a ******* ..

he makes every pak positive sound like a negative ..

when we got to our 50 not out .. he says that must be a record for Pakistan ..

fortunately sohail comes in right away and erases all of rameez cowardly ****..

Hameed looks clueless as per usual versus kumble!
 
Its only matter of time before kumble gets hameed lbw or bowled here!
 
You'll survive through Rameez's comments if you pretend he's an Indian commentator.

Butt should protect him from Kumble.

aah, the jinx worked !!

Hameed adjudged lbw !!! Brilliant bowling by kumble ...
 
Amir sohail is a poor poor technical anlayst or he gets patriotism gets in his way too much.
 
dont these players learn from their mistakes!! hopefully this will be his last match
 
It's an indictment of the state of our cricket that a part time bowler like ganguly is bowling so early on in the innings and being made to look like a world class bowler.
 
Indian fielding has been outstanding.

Kumble stops 4 runs.
 
phew! ball rolls along floor and misses off-stick!

how did that miss!
 
4 more 3rd in a row played down to fine leg!

butt 45*
 
Butt easily plays out the over. Pakistan close at 86/1 and in a solid position so far.
 
Man Butt has started to who signs of maturity...that is so good for Pakistan..this is a better start than the Indian one..lol
 
Well done Pakistan - managed to contain India's score, well within 800 runs, dead impressed! :)))

Looks like a test series loss vs India is on the card unless India manage to screw this!

superb performance by Pakistan. To have India 61 for 4 at lunch on day 1.....one would have thought they would easily get to 1000, maybe even 1500+ so to limit their last 6 wickets to only 560 runs was simply magnificent.

And then to be 85 for 1 at close? Couldn't get any better.


Great stuff from Pakistan!!!!

If Ganguly and Pahtan did not go for shots , 800 was not a distant reality. This is a flat pitch. If you ask me India should have made 800 runs and batted Pakistan out completely.

:))) brilliant wasn't it? What a breathtaking display from us, from India being totally dominant at 61/4 to finding themselves utterly annihilated and destroyed at 626 all out!! Wow!

Man! shame on your team, against that 'attack' I'd have out-Lara'd Lara's 501! :))
 
well done boys! don't think we can lose the match now. Pakistan's gotta play for pride and we need to hunt down wickets.
 
Tough to believe we couldn't manage 3-0 against this Pakistan side. It does tells that this Indian side isn't that good as it looks to be, we need to work seriously hard towards our bowling and catching in order to present a good threat to Oz.

What about your batting? Beating the crap out of a depleted attack on the wickets which were ideal for batting in the 1st innings of both test (2nd/3rd)..........is not big accomplishment!
Had our batsmen shown some sense in Delhi, we would have been leading 1-0 right now!

Let me know, how many 200s (or even 100s) these guys score in Aus after the series! :P
 
Very true W63L35. That first test could have gone either way (in fact, we were beginning to take control) until our batsman decided to commit hara-kiri after tea on day 3.

Was it at all tested or you expect me to criticize India for not being 600-0?
Bowling/ Fielding were evidently the loopholes which needs to be fixed. Overall on batting I would rather pass no comment for now, or maybe I feel I'm satisfied. I hope you didn't mis-interpret my post to be "we are best batting side in world" or something :)

Worst ever Pak side - yes and no!
Yes.....may be performance wise it may be.....but talent wise no!
This team has great potential but due to a things going on with the team, they are down 1-0;
1) Captaincy crisis.....Malik not be supported by player and Younis making joke of it.
2) Kamran being consistently selected.
3) Yasir being consistently selected.
4) Faisal Iqbal there ahead of Asim or Fawad.
5) Playing Akhtar in 2nd test ahead or Rahman or Arafat.
6) Sami being consistently selected.
7) Rao called but not played.
8) Afridi not selected in the test - for his bowling.
9) Razzaq not seleted.
etc etc....

This team has MORE problems that PCB (DNA) has failed to control/fix or PCB/DNA is THE reason of those problems.

You wanna pat your back for your performance, go ahead.......but don't forget to thank PCB and DNA for all this mess!

..no, I all I meant was that don't be fooled by 1st innings scores in 2nd and 3rd test...because of what happended Karachi after two dull draws in Lahore and Karachi last series!

Every defeat has reasons and this one looks no different. Some it's DNA/ PCB, sometimes it's Oz not taking T20 seriously, sometimes bad umpiring and blah blah!
In the end mostly better team wins and this time it's no different- which is fair enough.
 
Pakistan made too many mistakes

Jaffer dropped by Sami
Slip drops of Ganguly and Yuvraj (about 3-5 :boom: )
Runout chances missed of Ganguly and Yuvraj (3-7 :boom: :12: :pissed: :po: :16: )
Pathan dropped by Kamran

AND MANY MORE! IF YOU FIND ANYMORE, tell me them please. :burn:

Agree on that. Regarding Oz tour, I personally wonder whether pitches will be radically different that what we are seeing now-a-days?
Last Oz tour, I personally felt pitches down under weren't as nasty as they used to be in 90s (and earlier decades). I wonder how different average score in Australia by visiting team has been post 2002 or so compared to 90s era. SL managing to score 400+ in fourth innings recently looks completely in sync with my overall observation.

none of the above are india's faullts.
India can only play against whatever team selected by PCB.
We had our share of injury problems right from RPS/Sreesanth for the first 2 tests and now SRT/MSD/ZK/Munaf....

even with a fit Shoaib, in Delhi India managed to outwit Pak on a fourth day pitch and Danish was neutralised easily.

Any way, India will not end up worse than how pak has fared when they toured australia in the last 2 series, if i remember, Inzy for all his greatness was a big flop and Pak lost all 3 tests, one of which was by 490 runs, right?

Jaffer,Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly, Dhoni would certainly fight from tough situations. Though Johnson is a real threat for SRT, he will contribute like what he did in England tour.I wish Dravid agrees to open and gives india an option to include Yuvraj singh in the team.

In last tour, Dravid and SRT scored double hundreds, Laxman scored 2 big hundreds,Ganguly & Sehwag scored very valuable hundreds.even if they perform 60% of what they have achieved last time, the first timers like Dhoni, Jaffer, Yuvi can compensate.

just 15 days to go!
by the way, have you given up on the current series??

Why can't Sachin open?
 
Rajan said:

No....I have not....but I certainly have given up on PCB/DNA!
 
Sachin has scored a little matter of 13,000+ runs and around 40 hundreds opening the batting for india in the one dayers. I am sure he is not scared.
as it is if the first 2 wickets go down with in 10 runs, he could be there before the 5th over!

But Dravid invariably has been facing the new ball this series, as the first wicket goes down by the time he pads up.so, I was wondering whether he would be asked to open to get Yuvi in the middle order.

But it is the management's decision as opening in tests is a specialist job.they have Jaffer. they are finding Dinesh Karthik struggling. I wont be surprised if Akash Chopra is drafted in the team as the second opener, he had done reasonably weel on the last tour down under-saw off the new ball attack time and again and helped the middle order.
