*Official* India in Pakistan Thread

We need to drop a batsmen in favour of a bowler. Make shift bowlers rarely pull it off and it would give us more bowling options!
We have enough batting on board with our top and middle order
VVS for Badani
Pathen/Powar for either Yuvraj or Kaif. This is a tough decision

Kaif saved something like 15 runs on the field, to say nothing of his brilliant catching. He shouldn't be dropped, and I'm not sure Yuvraj should either.
I want Powar to get a look in, but at who's expense? I'm guessing Laxman comes in for Badani, and then what? I don't want Kartik dropped, so who else goes?
All in all, the indians looked far more professional in the field, evfen bloody Ganguly (apart from the one time where he didn't back up) which is a new thing for us.
Inzamam surprised everyone with his running. Definitely the Indians, probably the Pakistanis too, perhaps even himself. I'm very very glad I was able to watch that innings.
Arjun, IMO there was nothing atrocious about the Indian bowling. Zaheer was coming back from injury, and he's improving, he's still nowhere close to top pace yet. Nehra, Balaji were really good, fielding and commitment to the cause were exemplary.
A few things to note -- The only crib I have against Ganguly is that he doesn't experiment quickly enough, and he doesn't vary things enough. I'm sure he'll work on that. I mean, Kartik should have gone for the leg-stump line 2 overs before he did. And those two overs cost India bigtime.
Also, the part-timers with the exception of Sehwag really sucked. I think Powar would make a very big difference in the team -- although it's moot as to who he'll replace.
Btw Bouncer, Excellent Analysis, so I gather it was Pak Vs. Pak and the Indian team was in the crowd? It's really heartening to know that Pakistan doesn't need an opposition to create a tight match.

You'd be surprised on the ratings of the AFL Wizard Cup. The thing that shits me with Fox Footy is that hardly any games are shown live. We get the channel to watch live footy, not the same game played yesterday.Jono said:
With digital out, I would love a new channel. But Foxtel would only show highlights from current games, not older games methinks.
What we really need is a wrestling channel.
Which reminds me...WrestleMania XX Tommorrow!

Should be great!

Yep.masterblaster said:
Taker returning and the Cruiserweight Open have got me pumped.
And Eddie/Angle will be brilliant.
Hopefully HHH doesn't retain...again...

I am gonna watch the highlights aswell, not tape, I be saving me longplay for FIVE HOURS of WrestleMania.Jono said:Benoit and Eddie better walk out with the gold. If Triple H retains again I will be furious. His politics backstage **** me off.
Anyway back to the cricket, I'm counting down for the highlights tonight. I think I may tape it because even the highlights will blow me away.
First time (and probably the last) I will see Little Guido (Nunzio) on Mania. I'm hyped!

Lucky guy, your getting WM XX
I might buy the DVD when it comes out later on.
It should be an awesome event.
And what is with everyone HATING Triple H?
The guy's my favourite Wrestler of all time, and when I see people bagging him so much on the net, it upsets me a little bit.
He was already one of the best 'bad guys', microphone workers and technical workers before he married the 'boss's daughter', and was already on top of the WWE talent pool back in 1998/99 and 2000.
I used to hate him when he was such a 'bad guy' but i realised how good he really is in 'getting into' his character. He is brilliant on the mic, and every storyline that he has been involved in has been superb (except the one with Kane).
It was a great moment for me, as a Triple H fan to see him comeback after 8 months off due to a severe quad injury. He got the standing ovation from MSG he deserved.
Im not really sure on what type of politics/backstage power this guy has, but i watch WWE for entertainment, not politics, and Triple H's character is one of the most entertaining characters on WWE tv (alongside The Rock).
Give the guy a fair go.

Triple H is past his prime.masterblaster said:
He hasn't worked a decent match with anybody apart from Shawn Micahels in years.
He has tanked himself up with steriods so now he can hardly move, and is now married to the bosses daughter, so no loss of title anytime soon.
He isn't good on the mic anymore.
Many people have more microphone skills on Raw, Jericho, Matt Hardy, Christian, The Hurricane etc. and they are being used either with an untalented lady with big **** or are jobbing to RICO (who mind you has ability) on Heat.

The fact that Shawn Michaels was brought into the main event of WM XX should prove what's wrong with Triple H. This isn't a wrestling board so I won't go into detail on the internet but Benoit is being royally screwed over.
The fact that Booker and RVD are stuck wrestling pointless tag title matches while Shawn Michaels gets a free main event spot in WM is a disgrace.

1998 man, we're in 2004. Time to move on and let other wrestlers who work their asses off get their time to shine. I'm sick of Jericho, Booker, RVD and Christian being held down while a 37 year old HBK gets to main event WM XX.masterblaster said:
Back on cricket, less than two hours till the highlights. I can't wait to see Inzi's innings.
