India could make 325.....or collapse to 250....
Anyways, Indian bowlers should make good use of line and length to try restricting pak below 400..
The first 30-50 minutes of play in the morning will be crucial for deciding the course of the match....
India escaped playing Glen McGrath in australia......only to face his clone in Lahore.....
....and they were undone....BTW, where's Avishkar salvi?

What on earth prompted Dravid to bat first ?
Pakistan would be pretty happy with happenings so far.....

And yet with Ganguly expected to be fit for the 3rd Test, Yuvraj will sit out the 3rd Test as Ganguly will come in and regan the captaincy.
And before the Anti-Ganguly Bridage comment, Ganguly is still the captain of the side, Dravid is a fill-in while he is injured, Ganguly is still the official captain of the BCCI and thus will regan his spot and the captaincy and he wont give it up to Yuvraj.
You will be living in fantasy land to think he will.
Unfair it may sound? Martin Love making a ton and being left out for Martyn one Test later.

Let Yuvraj open. There's plenty of good middle-order players who have moved up to the opening spot and made a success of it.
The alternative is, well, 'Thanks Yuvraj. Your time will come'.

With Ganguly getting injured so often, I won't be surprised if Yuvraj gets more than just 3 matches. An injured Ganguly is a liability on the team.
Yuvraj is a good player of seam bowling, so opening with him is not a bad idea. Either that, or open with Dravid, since he's likely to be virtually an opener if Chopra gets out quickly, though that has never happened. Still, Yuvraj is a better choice because of his fielding.
Anyway, there has been some good fielding by the Indians, although a wicket at this stage would help more.

I think India will score 300 + runs today and won't lose much wkts

hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahaha
at one stage the best batting lineup in the world was 147-7
this guy is a joke ......the biggest joke in the world......
***** MOD EDIT: Can we try and and be civil here? there is no need to use that sort of terms, at the end of the day he has his opinion and you have yours - He like anyone is going to back their own side regardless of how good or bad they are... Iam sure you would and do do the same, there is no need to insult him for it *****

OMG what a surprise...the backbone of the indian batting failed on a pitch that offered just a little bit for the bowlers. At least yuvraj and pathan showed that there are positive signs for the future.

Your first point is a very good one.thehellraiser said:
Your second is not. There are enough insults flying around on these boards at the moment without you adding to them.

the biggest chicken is a part of the indian side....GANGULY....
the guy was so afraid of being walloped in the test series......he ran away like a coward that he is(along with many of the indian fans on this forum and most of the players in this indian team)....
the guy faked his injury because he did not have the balls to face the music.....
and what is that the indian poeple are so happy abou......
yes they won a test match .....and i congratulated them for that ........but the arrogant folls in this forum are just turning this into something else......
i was not gonna get invloved in this but enough is enough......
dont u indian fans realise that u have been literally humiliated at the hands of pakistan for over 50 years......you have been beaten silly on your home ground on countless occasions.....
u have just won your first test in pakistan.....what does that say about your crapy taem.......while pakistan has been humiliating u in your country for god knows how many years.....hahaahahhaha and the situationa has been that the last match in calcuuta in 99 had to be finished in front of an empty stadium.....says a lot about people like ajagaraajaaa and wahindiawah......
the only reason that the indian team was not willing to play the pakistanis for the pat 3 years because u guys were afraid that u would be beaten silly again....and quite frankly u could not take the humiliation.......but then when the pakistan side is young and inexperienced u decide to come down and play......hahahahahhaha
on the other hand the pakistani side (and the people in general) are not cowards and will take on any opposition at any time .....and this inexperinced side has given u a hell of a time in the odi series......and agin today on the first day of the test match.......
it is still game on......so next time u post things that are degrading and disrespestful to the pakistani side ....just take a look at ur own bunch of cowards......
