*Official* India in Pakistan Thread

[luckyeddie]

Is it?, People don't want to see full articles. I used to chat in other cricket forum, there were always full articles.

Can the Staff confirm here, I wont post full articles in the future, I do it so I could pin-point points which can be discussed

Yes.

Please, please - and this is directed towards everyone

Articles from other sites must be linked, not just copied in. It is only common courtesy to the author of the article to give him credit for his work - and what better way of giving him credit than to let people see his work in its original form and in its entirety.

And by 'him' I natuarally mean 'him or her'

<quack> ahem

Yes, or 'duck'

but this guy is different, he's more in line with Indian pacers than Pakistani pacers.

The difference being that he can take wickets.

I didn't see anything special in Gul's bowling

Gul was unplayable

Make your mind up!!!

Some people in my neighbourhood told me that Pakistan had asked the ICC to have Bucknor officiating as umpire in this series, i wonder if its true or not? Buccknor has a history of giving poor decisions, mostly against India.If Pakistan win the test match, Bucknor should be declared "man of the match":!(

Nonsense. The implication of bias is disgraceful.

200 in 35 overs!!, @ R.R 5.71 (It's not one-day)

Not likely, Inzi & Co, would play for a draw

I think they'd go for it actually - the Indian attack isn't that crash hot and 1-0 down in the series makes it worth a go.

The Indian camp is apparently upset about the numerous appeals that were turned down by the two umpires.

I missed the equivalent report last week when the numerous appeals were given out despite not being so - can you reproduce it for us please?

 

[marc71178]

i can clearly remember laxman scoring 281 and dravid scoring 180 aganist a poor australian side

So poor that it went into that game with a world record for consecutive Test victories (15, and only one against one of the minnows)

 

[marc71178]

I think the Umpires have gotten money

Based on what exactly?

I do hope you can back this sort of post up with proof.

Haha, Marc, Koch_cha wrote that in response to a remark that India can't ever come back from first innings deficits, and was completely sarcastic! Sorry, Lucky Eddie, I had to call him on it before you could! :P

Utter rubbish.

The one-eyed man only sees one view.

 

[marc71178]

India should have asked Pakistan to bat first, had they done that and had played with awesome Nehra, Pakistan would have struggled to score even 200 runs.

I've seen Nehra described as a few things in the past, but awesome is not one of them!

 

[marc71178]

One of them even mentioned that kumble should forget about getting LBW whilst the Slow poison is umpiring

Or could that to be more to do with pitching the ball outside Leg Stump?

No problem from me.

I do get upset with people who are rude, but sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and therefore perfect.

Having seen the past posts by him, I wouldn't be so sure that it was sarcasm.

Well if it wasn't sarcasm, then he makes arguments that undermine his point? His point was that India can come back from innings deficits, as they have in the past as evidenced by that second Ind-Aus test. If "poor Australian side" wasn't sarcastic, then it detracts from his arguments. Maybe you're saying he doesn't know how to argue, but I've read his posts as well, and I think he understands how to make his point without difficulty.

Also, on an entirely unrelated note, I want to join the Ajit Agarkar Appreciation Society! I'll work on my suck-up comment.

My guess is that he just fancies starting a flame war.

Silly people do that sort of thing - and he is yet to prove to me that he is not silly.

Yet, lets see tommorow

Oh i see, how very clever.So probably the Pakistani batsmen were getting out by being bold by ghosts (as Indian pacers doesn't take wickets)


BTW, Umar is in the team because the highly rated cricket web's very own "shabbir Ahmed" isn't in the team (the bowler was said to have made it to the Indian team anyday had he been an Indian by a pundit)
