[mumtaz]

india batting first after winning the toss.......damn

 

[Hash]

time passing far too slowly for my liking.

25 mins left.

 

[mumtaz]

both teams unchanged

 

[Hash]

typical Ganguly wins toss. Its time to bowl well and hold onto those catches!

 

[sajjad]

toss done already...damm and we lost it again

****

 

[Hash]

according to cricingo teams afridi will be opening for us

 

[Rob H]

Pak need Sehwag early

 

[sajjad]

this sucks man, we needed that toss badly

 

[Hash]

RH- if Sehwag is dropped one more time, just one more time. I will take the next flight to India and personally :/| the player responsible

 

[sajjad]

does ne one know how many times we dropped him in the series last year.

 

[tahaqureshi]

forget the past...lets just concentrate on todays game for htis thread..kapeesh?

 

[Hash]

Ganguly once again gets lucky with the coin, India will bat first
both teams go in with the same eleven that played the 1st ODI
at the toss Inzi indicated that Shahid Afridi will open the
innings, surprisingly Younis Khan has been overlooked!

That is from cricinfo. Is this guy a complete idiot? Younis hasn't been overlooked he is ill!

 

[sajjad]

according to cricingo teams afridi will be opening for us

according to cricinfo YK has been "overlooked". as we all know he is trying to recover and not overlooked. but apparently inzi did say afridi will open. wonder why he said that so early. maybe wants to put pressure on sehwag to do well.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Good Morning and welcome to the live coverage of the 2nd ODI
between India and Pakistan being held at the ACA-VCDA Stadium,
located on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam.
This is a relatively new stadium and this is going to be the first
international game at this venue.
Pakistan will be under pressure to win this encounter after their
defeat at Kochi.
India lead the series 1-0, with five more games to go including
this one the series is still wide open.
Ganguly once again gets lucky with the coin, India will bat first
both teams go in with the same eleven that played the 1st ODI
at the toss Inzi indicated that Shahid Afridi will open the
innings, surprisingly Younis Khan has been overlooked!
Billy Bowden and AV Jayaprakash will be in charge of the
proceeding


text commentary from cricinfo......aint that strange?

 

[Hash]

strange? nah it's just the Indian cricinfo updater being a fool who hasn't checked his facts.

We all know Younis Khan is ill with fever and even if he recovered in last day or so it would still be best to rest him. The hot and humid conditions can dehydrate someone v quickly.

the only person younis khan has been overlooked by is the idiot cricinfo updater who failed to check the facts!

 

[tahaqureshi]

And did inzi say EXACTLY that shaid afridi will open? or did he just say something like "we need to start big and make lots of runs with opening partnership"..which lead to cricinfo claiming afridi will open?

 

[Hash]

probably the latter taha!

 

[badxhah]

India won the toss and decided to bat

 

[Hash]

we know badxhah salamat saab

 

[badxhah]

Sorry bahi jaan galti hoogi ,,will not happen again

 

[Hash]

looks like a good batting track but there is a bit of moisture on
the surface, bowlers should get some assistance early on
