*Official* India in Pakistan Thread

Great catch taken by Youhana Yuvraj out 162-5 off Sami's bowling

He was playing well - real dangerman out there.

GO DRAVID! If he gets a ton and Kaif can stick with him you'd have to back India but one more wicket and Pakistan would probably have the game. Unless of course Balaji does something special :P

Looks like this is going to be a cracker of a game as well. :)

Turning into an awesome series. Close games, huge batting totals, lightning bowling and not too one-sided at the moment.

I don't want to jinx Kaif, but he's doing exactly what is needed of him at number 7. Batting beautifully, getting the fours and supporting Dravid well. I hope this continues because India are right on top now with less than 4 an over needed. This is a great come back because India looked gone when they were 4 done.

Kaif gets to his 50! Brilliant knock in the circumstances when you consider how tense the situation was when he came out to bat. 53 off 59, top stuff. Dravid solid as always with 65 off 83 and India should take comfortably win this.

"41.4 Shabbir Ahmed to Kaif, FOUR, what in the world is happening!pitched up outside the off stump, driven down the track, bat breaks into two but the ball races down to the fence"

:wow:

INDIA WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL! I cannot believe it. They scored 294 in 45 overs and they looked absolutely gone when they were 4-94. Brilliant stuff. I am very pleased because it looked like it was going to be a typical Indian batting collapse but the middle order stepped in and prevailed.

Dravid was brilliant as usual. I hope this shuts the door on the select few who still believe he's not a ODI batsman. The man is absolutely outstanding and consistently performs for India. When the pressure is on there is no other batsman I would rather have out there than Dravid. He is just rises to the occasion time and time again.

People have also questioned Kaif's role in the team, I think he definitely deserves to be there. Outstanding fielder along with Yuvraj and a brilliant lower order batsman. He can slog, he can push it around, and he can support the top order batsman like he did today.

That was a great win and I cannot wait to see the highlights tomorrow, it's gonna be great to watch. The series is level at 2-2 and just as this series deserves, a final match to decide it all. I can't wait :D

The guy epitomises the heart and backbone of the Indian side. Pakistani fans must be just sick of the guy!

Looked so easy in the end!!!

Indeed. An RPO of around 5 is perfect for Dravid..more than that and he gets out cheaply..I hope we on Wednesday :(..If we dont then this could the first ODI series India has won in Pakistan. Cant let that happen :!( . India had lots of support, infact about 2/5 of the people in our enclosure were Indian.

Nice win for India :D Kaif surprised me with his good innings today. I was just beginning to think if Badani should replace him. Thats put to rest. Well done Kaifey and Dravid when India were 94/4 at one stage and then 164/5 when yuvi was out.

Ganguly looked good today and set for a big score and again he fell softly to Razzaq. I'm sure he will be back soon. Atleast he hit a few 4s and a six in that brief inning.

Well, all the neutrals before the series said it was going to be tight, and we've been proved correct!

Great to see the 2 coming together and playing a good competitive series.

Congrats to all cricket fans on India's brilliant easy win.

Now its 2 all, and i'm dead sure India is going to go for kill in the last one, and will win it!


Indian batting was just superb, Dravid and Kaif made a mockery of Pak attack.Indian bowling was better today too, ZK finally bowl better, and i think his best is yet to come, so beware Pakistanis.


Inzi blamed his bowlers after the match and said that speed alone is nothing as accuracy is important.My question is as to what took so long for Pakistanis to find that out? Giving 35-45 extras to oponents by Pakistanis is the norm since the days of WC, no wonder this team sometimes even struggles against Bang. Akhter and all other S's were saved by UWA from being no-balled by umpire coz of their action, but by overstepping they eventually are getting no-balled.

And for Shabbir's fan..His figues today were, 63 runs from 7 overs!!!!! He must be in the race for the worst bowler with Sami.

An excellent win. Congragulations to the Indians.
Pakistan did nothing right in this game, IMO.

2-2 series squared.

I hope the fifth match is an even better one then the Karachi ODI.

ok i think its time to drop afridi and go for taufeeq umar or farhat. the gamble of picking afridi payed of for one game but i dont think he should be picked again to play for pakistan when farhat and umar are soo much better
btw do u guys think this series is fixed. definetly looks so with games 1 and 2 being very similar and then 3 and 4 too both 5 wicket wins. wouldnt be surprised if the test series ends up being 1-1 like the way it was fixed last time but whos gonna win the ODI final?
