**Official** Pakistan in India

[Fusion]

one of the greatest odi knocks ever deserves to be on the winning side.

**** that! One of the greatest ODI knocks and let's make sure it's on the losing side.

Poor bloke has to keep now

Well played MSD, with all that talk about an all time ODI XI going on around CC, he's certainly doing his reputation justice.

 

[Cevno]

Commented on this when the squad was announced but still don't get on what basis Rohit and Sehwag made the ODI squad, let alone the team.

Sehwag, for his record against Pakistan maybe but really both shouldn't be there.

 

[Furball]

Turned on when he got to 50, you just knew he was going to gun it.

How many balls did it take him to get to 50?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

going to be a tough chase but target is well within reach

credit to Dhoni that he battled it out and now giving India more than an outside chance

 

[Contra]

Gonna laugh hard when I wake up later today if we end up winning this match.

Misbah to help out with a generous 20 (80)

hopefully xD

 

[Jono]

Dhoni and Raina against a swinging, seaming ball. This will end well.

Spark manages to ruin my Kohli call by making an even bigger humble pie post

I would take Hussey, on the basis that he can actually score deliberately on the offside

86

So true, calls about Dhoni not being fit by that bloke in the eng vs ind thread looks stupid now. Playing such an innings in Chennai makes it even better considering the humidity

87 iirc.

It looked stupid even then in all honesty. Dhoni is one of the most fittest cricketers in world cricket. People sure like judging based on how a player looks rather than how they actually are. Just cuz Dhoni's got a bit of a belly he's automatically "unfit".

86

So 52* (86)

then 61* (39)

Not bad.

 

[Cevno]

His last 51 came in 25 balls.

Yep, Dhoni's the best builder (for the lack of a better word) of an innings since Tendulkar I've seen. With him you always know he's in control, even when he's like 20 off 60 or something like that.

 

[Cevno]

Need some early wickets on this wicket if it continues seaming/swinging.

Otherwise don't see us having that much of a chance with our bowling attack.

Though having said that Pakistani batting doesn't inspire confidence either.

 

[smash84]

haha....yeah.....our batting is pretty terrible even at the best of times....

now with a swing and seam conditions God help us
