Just to give you some idea of what is instore for Pak team, right now Sachin and Sehwag are hammering Pak a team and have scored 131 runs in just 16 overs. I veymuch doubt if the result would be much different against Pak ODI team.

Can we have less of the bad language please.

There's really no need for it.

But they were pretty sluggish..in some incidents they didnt even try to stop the ball..plus a few overthrows. I dont remember the fielders' names

Does the name Sourav Ganguly ring a bell?

Field placings were a bit lame :\.

Does the previous answer ring a bell?

And most of the extras were conceded in the earlier part of the match, took pressure off of the batsmen..even when they missed..which they did a couple of times.

The problem with Indian fast bowlers is that they sometimes try too hard and play too aggressively, even if they can't do it. It's about time they all decide to go in for counselling, or read a good book on self-help, or listen to soothing music, or just take a break, to reduce their intensity levels, which are way too high. In Tuesday's Times of India, the writer said that Zaheer's blood pressure could be 80-120, and has to be brought down. That said, Balaji's too gentle, and has to try harder. He is a good learner and will be a regular in the near future, or even right now.

Zaheer looked unfit and he needs to get his run up right.

He was not in my plans. He did not even have to prove his fitness before making the team. Strange. Amit Bhandari bowled well, even better than Nehra, who was more likely to make the team, but he's left out, even when he's 100% fit. I don't care how much better a 5%fit Zaheer is, if he's not 100% fit, he's not good enough.

Sehwaq and tendulkar bowled tidy overs.

Why not use them as regular bowlers? Especially Sehwag- catch them young..uh...younger. Besides, Sehwag has some experience.

Anyway, the Indians were in woeful form in the practice matches in Australia, but played better in the main matches (in Tests), so they might bowl a lot better in the main ODI series. Ganguly-less, they'd be a much better bowling and fielding outfit, but some players have a permanent place in the team, even if they're of little use.

Can we have one thread please?

Can one of the mods please 'top' this thread and close all the unnecessary garbage cluttering up the board?

Well, we lost to Kwa-Zulu-Natal in 2003, and yet still made the World Cup Final......

Hopefully a similar trend is repeated.......

In an indo-Pak series first punch is very important. what makes it worse for india is they called themselves favorite for the series which took some of the pressure off pakistani shoulders.

What is not going to help the indians is the fact that there are only a day gap between the practice game and in that day they have to move from Lahore to Karachi and they have only one net session in karachi, unless untill they decide to do some more practice.

Pak A has taken alot of Pressure off the Pak seniors now, now to me the Qs. is who is going to bat first at Karachi, under these conditions if India Opt to chase they face the strong Pakistani bowling line up and Karachi is the most suited ground for reverse swing {atleast in test matches in early mid 90's}

Why is Taufeeq Umar not in the ODI squad?

Its baffling, I find him a much better player than Imran Farhat. His off spinners are handy, and he can wicket keep for emergencies.

Umar was considered more suitable for longer version of the game.For me the tragedy is the somone like Umar is out of the squad and a guy like Afridi will be opening for Pakistan.:!(

Don't get overexcited , these practice games doesn't mean much. Indain team has the potential to do well in the Onedayer series.

 

[yohanna]

Not bad, but his bowling isn't as good as it was, so he's by no means one of the top rank of all-rounders (Kallis, Pollock, Streak, Flintoff, Gayle)

Didn't i said before that he's not much of a bowler these days? Thats why i think he's only good for Onedayers and not test matches.

 

[ajaagarkarajaaja]

Oh my God, i can't beleive to see people's response on the result of a practice match.

Listen mates, these practice match means nothing.Indians are notorious for being slow starters, India didn't do too well in the side matches in Australia but the same Indian team matched Australia in test series!!

If you think that Pak A side is better than Indian team then you are living in fool's paradise.Pak A batters took advantage of Indian team that wasn't going all out , the bowlers were rusty and the fielders were slow too.I would say that all Indian bowlers did today was just stretching themselves and have a feel of the pitch, you will see a totally different Indian team in the oneday series.

And to people who says that when India can't beat Pak A, then how can they beat Pak ODI.Listen mate, Indians are WC finalist, beating Pak A ,means nothing to them, Indians know to raise their level when the occasion demands.So just don't judge a team by a practice match, or next you will be judging a player by his performance at net practice!

Hi aajaaagarkaraajaa

I took the liberty of reading most of your posts today... and I think you are very entertaining to say the least...

.......even comical.

You do a lot of talk when things appear to be going India's way and then try to downplay the very same comments that you bragged about as soon as the tide starts to turn agaist India.

I dont have problem with your views... but would hope that you perhaps make an attempt to be even handed with your assessments. Its to your own benefit... a bit of caution on your posts and most forumites will start taking you seriously.

Cheers,
Haris

I only just saw the scorecard but no match I can think of better exemplifies what the Indian cricket team is about more than this one. Possibly the world cup final as well. When your bowlers can't defend 335 against Pakistan A you know there is a problem, a big big problem.

If this is a sign of things to come in the ODI series the Indian batting line up are going to need to score 400 to win a match. :-/

There is no need to panick, i didn't see the match but it is obvious the the bowlers were too wayward and allowed the batsmen to dominate them from the very first ball.

Indian bowlers need to be very accurate in the comming series, getting oponent out on batting wickets won't be easy.Also the fielders need to be more agile. I think today's side game was a nightmare and it should be forgetten a.s.s.p. The bowling lineup should be same for the first ODI, though it might not be a bad idea to bring in Nehra in place of Balaji only because Nehra is more experianced.

 

[yohanna]

When India knows that their weakness is bowling then why don't they play with 5 specialist bowlers?? To me playing with 7 specialist batters doesn't make much sense especially when the batting is already so strong and almost all the batsmen are inform.

I think India should play with 2 spinners and three pacers in the OD games

Haris Dude, dont waste ur time man, this Kid is hope less.

Not only him but for most Indian People i have met winning 1 game in 3 Yrs. is enough to jump in the air and forget about the spanking they get the rest of the time.

Look who's talking!! It has been pakistanis who have been celebrating their A team's lone victory over India.

Celebrating a WC win make more sense than celebrating a stupid victory in a practice match.
But then you won't get much to celebrate in the comming series, deep down you all know as to who the better team is and what exactly to expect in the real contest!

 

[CRIC_LOVER]

Pak win both one day and test

I am neither supporting Pak nor india.Just unbiased person judging on the strength of the teams.Well everyone knows indian batiing is better, but in my view Laxman and to some extent Dravid are not one day batsmen.If india is going to have the same 7+4 line up, i am sure they end up loosing this one day series by 4-1 or 5-0.
indian bowlers are not of international standard they cant take 20 wickets in a test match and at the sametime cant restrict pak batsmen in the one dayers. My verdict is 1-0 in test for pak and 4-1 or 5-0 for pak in one dayers.Any takers???

Don't you think they have a reason for celebrating? Afterall when any team, much less a second string outfit beats a team which has a string of 'extremely talented' and 'great' bowlers like Pathan a celebration is in due need or do you mean the Indians delibrately underplayed? If so then their coach John Wright seems strangely to be in the dark about it.

Celebrating a WC win make more sense than celebrating a stupid victory in a practice match.

Indeed it does, but that doesn't mean celebration at other occasions should be curtailed.

But then you won't get much to celebrate in the comming series, deep down you all know as to who the better team is and what exactly to expect in the real contest!

Attempts at rhetroic like this will only ignite flames so unless you are born with the innate ability of forseeing and can prove to the world what Nostradamus couldn't, I'd suggest tonning down and mellowing out a bit.

Yep u r right everybody knows, and u know what this Pak A victory has goten more response from Jhon Wright Than Pakistani fans.

In real contest Dude, Wake up its is 50+ ODI's against 25+ ODI's and 9 Test matches to 5.....It does tell enough to know who have won the real games in 50 Yrs...

I rest my case.

 

[Arjun]

though it might not be a bad idea to bring in Nehra in place of Balaji only because Nehra is more experianced.

Nehra can't field. at least Balaji can. and what great thing has Nehra done? Just take 6/23 against one of the worst batting sides in a World Cup.

 

[Tony Blade]

Its was a practice match. Lets not get carried away. Theyll probably be more catious next time. And about the part about the Indian team not going all out. I doubt they could have scored 334 if they werent going all out..you think they could have gotten more?...400 peraphs??.. Or are you saying that the batsmen went all out but the bowlers didnt. o_O
