Pakistan V India | 1st Test Lahore | Official Day 2 Thread [14/1/06]

[Usman Chadda]

Indian media already having a go at their bowlers. I dont blame them in the slightest. You dont expect to get 20 wickets with such a lame bowling attack and that too on a featherbed. I mean, they should have gone for a third seamer atleast!

Brilliant batting by Kami and Afridi. Today was a day the Indian bowlers will most likely want to forget. Such a beating I have never seen in my life!

no, our seamers don't bowl in the 70 km/hr range...our domestic bowlers can bowl faster than that...i almost feel sorry for them...

Was Shoaib charged up or what! He honestly was giving it everything he had and troubled the Indian batsmen several times. His line I thought suffered slightly as he strayed down leg trying to dislodge the batsmen however he ulmost reached 97mph! On this pancake pitch, in all honesty it will take something special to bowl India out twice, but then again as someone said, if there is a team who can do it then that team is Pakistan. If Dravid and Sehwag fall cheaply, I can see this test match taking new twists and turns so it will be espiecially intresting to see if Pakistan can manage it tommarow.

I really think its rich that ANY Indian fan/player criticise the AWAY pitches.

For decades, India has prided itself on producing HOME pitches that will NOT suit the opposition, and try to suit the 4-5 spinners they would pack into their teams.

Honestly, Ind should keep their noses out of how we produce pitches-thats OUR business.

Methinks the issue is that Ind media/players/fansites got it into their heads that it was going to be an 'Aussie style' wicket....seriously, didnt any one see the recent Eng series? WHat did they expect? That PCB would import some pitches in from Australia???

These pitches are no better...no worse that anything India has produced.

I didnt see our teams/fans complain about the pitches in India last year.

Get over it...score 550...avoid the follow on...and worry about non-pitch issues like Dravid's lethargic captaincy; the rift between Chappel & Ganguly; Pathan running in like a 70 year old etc.

Wah Oxy bhai...

Ohh- and mr India: - When we win by an innings, you'll understand the meaning of result orientated.

we in india just had a good laugh at inzi wen he said they r goin to prepare 'aussie style' wicket....who was he trying to fool??..only pakistanis seam to have bought it! )

We have no problems with the pitch..cos we know there can be only 2 results here a draw or an indian win..instead of a 3-0 we will probabaly win 2-0 or 1-0....so start praying that pak don loose a single toss in this series!
