From Cricinfo...

11.00am India v Pakistan in one of the most iconic venues in the world. Bring it on. It rained a bit in the morning and the covers were on for a while but there have been no showers for the last couple of hours and the covers have been removed. Still overcast though.

Misbah-ul-Haq has spoken of how the team's nerves have eased as the series progressed while MS Dhoni has demanded better from his batsmen.

I still think.... team winning the toss will BAT...specially Pakistan.

But it looks like it will be a good toss to lose.
 
Apparently Fletcher is giving a pretty big speech to the boys in the middle. Farewell speech?

no,both team will chase.first match experience will be in mind.
hopefully Indian plays an extra seamer in Shami
 
11.20am The curator Prabhir Mukherjee and the pitch was the centre of attention the last time India played here, in the Test against England. Today's surface is expected to be a bit two-paced, and with the overcast conditions, the captain winning the toss will likely choose to chase. Wasim Akram says there should be some swing around for the quicks early on.

Need 250+ to be competitive... if it stays overcast all day it will do a lot more underlights
 
The long tail for Pak is an issue for me....get five wickets down and next five should fall in a heap
 
Pathric from India...

Playing Jaddu in place of Rohit...

If you are replacing Rohit, at least play a proper bowler :facepalm:

I thought Ahmed should have played his first game today... But Dhoni had to bring his Chaddi buddy into the team :facepalm:
 
Kumar will be key for India. He will probably get huge swing here as well.
 
Haha Dhoni's love for Jadeja knows no bounds :)), Jadeja back. Guess he held true for the idea the team needs an all rounder.

Jadeja is a talent, he might do well today, but really when batting struggled last ODI, you want to bring in a part time batsman in limited overs. Makes no sense. How exactly did Dhoni look at his bowling and batting and think man this team needs Jadeja?

The obvious choice seemed to bring in Rahane.
 
Rahane still out

29-5 in last game,overcast conditions n Dhoni gets Jadeja in:facepalm:

Pak have got this :(

LOL @ Dhoni saying that he wants to strengthen the bowling and then saying that he got Jaddu as 5th bowler :)))

India deserves to lose for making these decisions.

Expect Jaddu to got for 70 runs in his 10 overs. This is not England he is playing against :yk
 
I just hope we get through the first 10-12 overs being unharmed! :45:
 
To be fair even if Dhoni was worrying about bowling strength and wanted an all rounder, with the likes of YK, Malik, Misbah forming the middle order and the pitch assisting the quicks with swing, wouldn't it be better to get a pace all rounder/bowler than a spin one?

Indian fans bashing jaddu and dhoni :))

What do you expect?

Bone headed decision to play Jaddu..

I would have replaced Roht with either Shami Ahmed or Rahane...

Our batting looks weak now and the bowling looks no better. :facepalm:

we should target 260-280 to start out and the re-evaluate and see if we can get to 300 or will scamper 250 (in that case we lose i think)
 
:)).. We are Gonna loose.... 3,4 wickets down quickly, then we are done... INd would chase anything around 250+... with our Bowlers..

Even as a Pak fan I don't really like this. Screams favouritism, not made on merit and is feels unjust.

Think Dhoni's such a good LOI captain especially, a little disappointed in him. This isn't fair.

I agree with this. I think that Sir Jaddu, Yuvi and Kohli will be smacked and that would where Pakistanis should get their runs.

not sure about what kind of pitch conditions are in for today... but history suggests anything under 275 will be a gone case for team batting first :kohli

seriously pathetic.should hv got Rahane or Shami
 
Crazy tv coverage - they dont start until the first ball is bowled!
 
I am in class today and I can't watch the match. But as always PP has my back. so I'm looking forward to the detailed commentary by you guys :afridi
 
Gonna be tough for pakistan have to bat well and sensibly 270 plus are deferentially needed to have a chance
 
Pakistan need to go at a quick rate today. We must aim for 300+ but I don't see that possible with the likes of Azhar, Younis, Hafeez & Misbah in our line up.
 
I guess Dav and Misbah have confidence in Gul otherwise they would not have played him.
 
We should Tuk our way until the 300s, otherwise... :kohli
 
don't think we need to get 300 plus to win this, 260 plus I think is defendable.
 
Our middle order is too slow, need the openers to start well otherwise can't see us posting a healthy total
 
really worried kumar might have us jumping around again not so sure we will get 300 or even 280
 
Hafeez opening. Why hasn't he learned that his best position is a bit lower down the order. He did so well playing down the order in the T-20's.
