India Vs Pakistan predictions

[imranrabb]

My prediction would be 2-1 in the tests to pakistan and 3-2 in the one day to india

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I'd venture about the same.

 

[Neil Pickup]

There will be at least one drawn Test, I reckon.

India Pakistan cricket is never dependent on current form of the teams. Going by the history, u see that raising to the oceason is a big feature of pakistani players specially against India. so i think it will be 2-0 to Pak and one drawn test match.

 

[NikhilN]

1-0 tests India and 4-1 odi India

 

[Jono]

I am confident India will win the ODI series, probably 4-1 but in the test series I'm getting a feeling that it could go Pakistan's way. It's going to be a great tour none the less, going to have to wait and see.

 

[masterblaster]

India to win tests: 1-0
India to win ODI's: 3-2

Most of the members have predicted a 1-0 win to India.I don't think we are going to get 2 drawn matches. One great thing about Pak cricket is that they are an attacking team, and even when they have "wicket-taking" bowlers in Akhter,Sami, Saqi, they still go with 5 bowlers instead of 4!!From the first test it will be clear as to what is the strategy of Pak, if Younis Khan or Asim comes out to bat at numbe six then it can be said that Pak is playing defensively and the media repots in India that Pak is panicking is true.Howeve if Razzak or Malik comes out to bat at number six slot then it will be clear that Pak is going to attack.

I can't say which team will win, all i can say that it will be a close series.Pakistan have bowlers in (Akhter,Sami,Razzak,Saqlain and Danish) that can bowl out India twice.India too have bowlers (in Z Khan,Pathan,Kumble and Ajit) that can bowl out Pak team.

I do think that the above mentioned Bowling lineup is best for both teams!

I guess it will be like 2-1 to Pak in test matches while the ODI seies would go India's way in 3-2.


I think it will be an interesting seies, there will sessions when Indian batters will pile up runs and then Akhter will come back strongly and destroy India's batting in one spell.

Don't think Sami will do much damage, Saqlain should be brought in and will be very usefull.This series will be a test of Kaneria's bowling ability.

Given that many of you feel Pakistan will lift when they play India, I am going to say a 1-1 draw in the test series, and India to win the ODI 3-2.

 

[Pratters]

MM here is my prediction :-

India wins the first match.. there is stone throwing in Pakistani player houses..

Pakistan win the second match

The third match ends in a weel fought out draw.. with all three results possible in the last hour..

Teams hug each other with Inzamam actually kissing Ganguly on the lips!

A drawn test series with a lot of action and drama!

[edit - Pakistan win the one dayers 3-2]

 

[marc71178]

Wasn't there already a poll on this?!

 

[SquidAU]

I will take a punt and say a 1 all draw in the tests and india to win the one dayers 3-2 in the last match.....that would make exciting cricket......

 

[Armadillo]

There will be at least one drawn Test, I reckon.

if its your league of the ages team all 3 will be drawn.:P

Oh great now you have the thought in my mind

 

[ReallyCrazy]

pratyush, you have weird fantasies.

i'll predict a 2-0 win for India in tests and 3-2 win for India in ODIs

 

[ReallyCrazy]

and also some of you guys are saying how the **** bowlers are world class. The only dangerous bowler the pakis have is shoaib akhtar IMO. How can you guys say ppl like Shabbir, Kaneria and razzaq will bowl india out twice? No way.

in the world cup match the pakistan attack comprised of wasim akram, waqar, shoaib and razzaq. Shoaib actually went on record saying that he was going to destroy india. And the results are there for all to see......

*Points out that your LftA side just lost to mine by an innings*

There is a big diffeence between the 2 fomats of the game.Just because Akhter faired poorly against India in WC (he actually had a poor WC) doesn't mean he will struggle in test matches too.

Akhter with Sami , Saqlain and Danish is a good bowling attack.Razzak is an"additional" to that attack and is only the 5th bowler.

Most ppl will believe that its a good attack, just ask NZ and SA batters!

Hmm the last three mentioned guys might not even get a chance.Razzak might but only coz of his batting, Shabbir probably won't and Danish will finally pave way for someone more deserving in Saqlain.

Pak might not be able to bowl out India twice in all three tests but to think that they won't be able to do it in any test match would be foolish.Besides if the current Aus attack could bowl out India twice, then the Pak attack might fancy thei chances too.
