No, Master Blas doesn't represent all Indians, just like Mr Fraz doen't represent all Pakistanis, so you can't accuse all Indians like that.

Many in India feels that India shouldn't go to Pak, and on the other hand many believes that the should, infact some friends of mine and thinking of travelling to Pak to watch the series!!!

People who think Pakistanis doesn't greets Indians, well i have an eye opener for them.The Indian security delegation which went to inspect the Karachi cricket stadium was greeted by a handsome crowd of people today, among the crowd was also Shaid Afridi (Pak most promissing player:lol: ).However i have a feeling that this series will get postponed, not due to security reasons but because of general elections in India!
Mr Chooray , chooray chooray ! What have I done to all of you guys . I am not gonna just bark for no reason .If I am not taunting then I always created logic before speaking . So dont give me this . Sorry if truth hurts . I have nothing against you at all .

Choora , You know why I keep on saying media media media . Because About 3 years ago , It was one of the few occasions I was in pakistan . We have a farm house in our village . there an Indian guy came and asked about my great grand father . my uncles tolld him that he passed away 1n 70's . Then the guy said that in 47 when hindus migrated from Pakistani punjab , he used to live in the same village and your grand father saved our lives and the family wealth at that time and he helped us to migrate. so I came back to see my village and people and home . That guy took us to his old home and showed different hidden secret hiding places that were still undiscovered by the new owners . That guy stayed at my home which is in lahore for quite a long time . That guy's name was Mr CL khosla and he was a real estate tycoon in UK . He was amazed to see the cities and the new developments . He said that our media tells as if Pakistan is Afghanistan and we have so many bad ideas about you guys , but he said that human life standards are far far better in Pakistani metropolitans . He said we didnt knew that Pakistan has even Inter province expressways which are the best in quality . I mean we call it Motorway , Which India has 'nt got . India just has highways not the express ways . He was quite amazed to see Islamabad and he said that this city is a work of art . These were his words that Indian media presents Bull crap for Pakistan . Just tell me one thing when ever Any Indian delegation visited Pakistan , How whole heartedly they have been recieved .

If you couldn't find it , it doesn't mean it DOES'T exist.I don't have to come up with a third class fiction story to prove my point.
What's wrong with it? well MasterBlaster said that Shoaib Akhter is well liked in India, what was shown on Zee TV clearly shows the opposite.Any civilized man would have opposed such games in which cricketers and not militants are made target of hatred.
I didn't knew thousands of people doesn't die in Pak, obviously u are ill informed.I have seen many people who are target of Indian brutality they have reasons too to be anti Indian!

I didn't mean that it's right to use Akhtar as an image in a game. What i meant was it's common to develop war games. How can it mean that they represent all indians. I think if Pakistanis had the capability some would have tried to make a game with India as the Villian. But in the same way they don't represent all Pakistanis.





Forget MB's above post, his comment in another thread that "IF Pakistan can prove to be a civilized country only then India should travel to Pakistan" what do you make of that?

Sorry didn't see that message of MB but anyway he has apologised now





I NEVER said that Pakistani press is Indian friendly, but it isn't as poisonous as the one accross the border and there are reasons for that.First is that Pak press can't match the Indian press, its way smaller in size, secondarily the major English Newspapers have gained a reputation for being too self-critical , and when one is self-critical there isn't much room for bias. Try to do an analysis of Newspaper "Dawn" and you will see whta i mean.
However i will be honest with you and will admit that our urdu press is as inflamatory as any Indian Press.
And don't start discussing wars, there were war before Kargil too you wanna go into that?

I would want to but i don't want to degrade the situation more. I apologise if i have said anything against Pakistan. I did not want to enter the India Vs Pakistan thing but i was forced as i thought Fraz wasn't going to stop making petty remarks on India. Again i apologise for whatever bad i have said and hope this marks the end of discussion on this topic

I think I cant understand the basic theme of your post . Was it good or not I dont know ? Why only me man . I cant understand this . Why every one is pointing me out in their posts . I made good remarks on India. Yes I made bad one's on Indian obsessed fans and their basic knowledge about Pakistan and thats it . I always had a logic behind it which is undeniable ...........

"The media is being impatient. One has to wait for our delegation to come back from Pakistan and give its report," Dalmiya said.
Its not me now ...............
Dalmiya said about his country's media ........

Fraz - Let me ask you one thing, Do you always voice your opinion on the basis of hearsay ??

As for Dalmiya's comment - Do you understand the difference between 'IMPATIENT' & 'BIASED' ? How do you know Mr. Dalmiya was talking about 'Indian' media and not about media in General which includes Pak media as well ?

Well I, anyway think that Sachin is one of the best, if not the best batsmen in the world, and Dravid is a very disciplined batsmen. But you know I see a lot of anti-shoaib akthar comments and some people do not see him as a very good bowler, always referring to the Wcup '03 etc...Another thing...Lahore lahore ah :p..Best people of Pakistan, Lahoris :p
P.S I like cookies >_<

I am really tired of watching Indian Cricket. Before every series most people would say India would be the favourites but it never materializes. I can't remember a single time India being in the top-3 all these years that too considering Cricket is only played by 8 nations. Inspite of all this the way they get treated is just ..........:!( . On the other hand India has started doing well in other sports but hardly any sponserships for them. Even gold medalists in Olympics ( a scarce commodity in India) sometimes have to sell off their gold medals to survive. Man, sometimes i get tired of the blind following of Cricket in India

LOL. Its the same here. No money for any other sports :( . Though I'm guessing its a slightly bigger problem here.

This is an inauspicious start for India however insignificant the match was in the overall context. It really showed the lead Indian bowlers in a poor light.

Forget being number one, they won't be even in the top 5 if the bowling stays this weak. The batsmen can pile up huge scores, but unless the bowlers do their job, we won't win much, at least not much of significance. C'mon buck up, Zaheer and Co., start earning your salaries.

On an optimistic note, let's hope that this was the bottom of the pit and they will now start climbing out of it....:(

India's start to the tour shouldn't be that surprising really. They batted superbly but didn't hold it up with the ball. They really just played to their strengths.

From that it is even more obvious that India won't approach supremacy until they can make bowling one of their strengths.

Please cool it with the rhetoric. You know very well that things can turn around just as quickly in cricket.

Also vishnureddy, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with Indian cricket. We're still leagues ahead of what we used to be. The nice thing about having a system with people in charge is that if the Indian team plays consistently badly, people will become disillusioned (like you seem to have become), not watch cricket, turn to other sports, and the sponsors will follow.

That day hasn't come yet simply because we're not as bad as some people on the forum make us out to be. It shows a definite lack of maturity on their part for taking cheap shots.

There will be performances like the one we saw yesterday, but with time, they will become scarce. If they don't, the inevitable will happen and the BCCI machinery will break down and be replaced by something better.

I for one am thoroughly going to enjoy the series.
