I mean the difference in numbers was more down to him being forced into the middle order when he was still a young bloke right? From memory he started doing well as soon as he moved to opening.

he wasnt forced there, he was a top to middle order batsman then. opening with him was a big risky move at that time

We have evidence this is an 8/36 pitch so there's still a significant chance we could lose

The pitch was not 8/36.... The team was 8/36... They've done it in the past and they are continuing their trend

For the most part yeah. He had some poor returns as an opener towards the end of that bad period too though.

True.

Opening in LOs has also become the best place to bat during that time.

I recall some non-gambhiring discussions here that Pakistan was better than India. Mainly by Indians

This result isn’t that surprising Pakistan had the easiest of draws the first two games. Their struggles with their batting and bowling were shown against Netherlands and Sri Lanka

8-0, the streak lives on etc.

Great result. Pretty terrible World Cup so far though.

The Streak is as important as the actual trophy.

 

[Andyhere]

In Asia cup hammered for 228 runs and now with 7 wickets and almost 20 overs to spare

Back when India did not win the world cup, india would say the Pak win is bigger than winning the world cup

The Pak fans would say pre 2011 wc "but you guys did not win the world cup anyway, look at your 92 fixture win"

 

[Window]

Have they been setting off fireworks after all games? If not, doing it just for this India win against Pakistan is pretty hilarious and low.

 

[Sunil1z]

Not a marquee contest by any means. Pak are gonna get smashed. Ind vs Nz, and Ind vs Eng are the games to look forward to

Great prediction man . Hats off to you
