We have no chance of winning this match!

The effects of mixing Weed with Pepsi are well known , but you Hitman - I never expected this from you man !!

Firstly, I don't drink Pepsi! I hate it! It's all about Coca Cola!

Secondly, am I wrong? The best we can hope for is a draw and the greatest chance of that is IF it rains.

For the first time in my life I have seen that India have a better bowling attack than us!

D!

I saw that last year - problem is if you say that here, people pounce on you with stats about Balajis speed and the "Fake" Pathan etc....

I classify those people as 'ignorant' :-D

[the true passionist]

So what can be done to minimise the demage...
any idea...
u cant slow them down until sehwag is there...
i hope this is not an innings defeat!
it would be real bad...
nevertheless, atleast we r accustomed to it!

The sad thing is, when pakistan lose... they lose really bad. They get THRASHED. I can't remember the last time they took lost in the fifth day!!!

forecast for remainder of series

Tomorrow: Rain showers in the morning becoming more intermittent in the afternoon. High 72F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 50%.

Tomorrow night: A few showers early with mostly clear conditions later at night. Low 54F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 30%.

Friday: Mostly sunny skies. High around 75F. Winds light and variable.

Saturday: A few clouds. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the mid 50s.

Sunday: More sun than clouds. Highs in the low 80s and lows in the mid 50s.



IMO with prob 50-60 overs being played on day 3 becuase of rain India will end up with a total of between 400-500 at the end of day 3 with wickets remaining.

Day 4 india might take the total to around 600 before declaring. This will leave us with probably one and a half days to stick around the crease to get to a draw.
Can our batsmen do it?

I know this might sound negative to many of you, but in my honest opinion this is the most likely run of events.

sehwag vs bangladesh
sehwag vs us

Bangladesh 2 2 0 0 0 13 23 11.50 2 0
Pakistan 4 4 0 1 1 309 438 109.50 2 0

why u might ask?

bcuz we are the worst at taking catches while BG are among the best. Just think about his 309 as well as yesterdays score- what would he have made in both innings if we did not drop him ?

 

[sajjad]

Pakistan will win easily.
The indian batting is showing clear signs of crumbling. Sehwag had 2-3 edges, u know.

the rest will all fall down easily.

naara time: GIRTEE HUEE DEWAAR KO, AIK DHIKA AUR DO
