Tendulkar by a fair margin.

Munaf obviously had a shocker here - we all saw it - but I think you're all over-reacting a little bit.

What a relief. Kumar gets one wicket and finishes the innings.
This match was a farce. The Indians were just plain lucky to bat first in AMI, target Southee and Ryder, get the most of a flat deck, short boundaries and withdrawn boundary ropes. They were lucky to take ten Kiwi wickets despite horrendous fielding, rubbish bowling from Munaf and Yuvraj and flat-pitch weaknesses. They made a massive total like this not look threatening. The Kiwis threw it away in a few overs of madness. But does it really matter? Everyone remembers the sixes and fours, and the huge totals scored by both teams.

Ugh, not my intentions at all but you must agree that India did everything to **** that up and were lucky to dfend such a big total. But yeah, let's all take this personally.

I don't think so. India were piss poor in the second innings and the fans have a right to be irritated.
Did you see that Munaf spell? Some of the worst bowling you'll see in international cricket.

Really? I have been his biggest supporter on this forum but after the lack of discipline shown by Munaf here, is he worth a place in the ODI team? We are looking for top spot in ODI and Test cricket and although Munaf has the potential to be a part of it, he lacks any sort of mental strength to fulfil it.

Not really, he's been consistently poor for a long time now.
And its not as if he has ANY other skills or attributes that he can compensate with when he bowls poorly. At least with Irfan, God bless his pie-chucking, can bat and field quite well.

We were pretty poor with the ball and in the field too, remember.
Not to mention the woeful middle-order batting and brainless running.

It was the pathetic efforts in the field which got me more. I knew Munaf was rubbish but I never expected an international team to come out thinking they'd won the game before the second innings even started. We were just lucky that we managed to get the score we did because on a normal day that is a loss with that kind of effort, some of that fielding was club level.
