*Official* India in Pakistan Thread

Intresting first three overs.
But right now, the extras are slaughtering us, not to mention shoddy fielding.

130/1 after 13 overs!?

What are Pakistan doing to their pitches? bowling averages are going to go right out the window for this series it seems.

143-2 of 15.

I pity the poor guy Naveed. Perhaps, he'll get some consulation from Sehwag's wicket.
On this belter of a track, a target of 300 looks pretty chaseble.
India might be able to score 350 even.

Yes I too have the same feeling. Ganguly looks quite cautious :wow:

Unless pakistan does something really miraculous, I don't think the run-rate will drop below 6.
How good a hitter is Badani?

 

[harry674]

vb series 2nd final

both these guys got RR down from 7-8 to 2-3. dravid batted 12 bowls and made 1 run.

A ' good ' one according to me. good runner between the wickets.
a good choice considering laxman is out.

 

[Rosh]

Dravid in his 70 and 10 more overs to go. feel that dravid needs to stay there till the end and kaif better start hitting hard and maintain the run rate at 7 per over. India has to look at 350+

 

[Jono]

What an awesome effort from Sehwag, when he gets going he is amazing. I'm so disappointed Fox aren't showing this tour but I'll just wait for the highlights tomorrow.

Go Dravid, the man is in supreme form and deserves a ton. GO INDIA!

Go Dravid, the man is in supreme form and deserves a ton. GO INDIA!

Bowled Akhtar for 99... well played though, India in a great position to score 350+. Interestingly only 8 4's (0 6's) in that 99.

 

[Jono]

I jynxed him.

 

[KishanTeli]

Dravid was out for 99

Im sitting here at university watchin CricInfo's commentry while my dad is at home watching it live on Sky Sports

India look like getting 350, but as I am writing have lost both Kaif and Khan to M.Sami. Kaif LBW and Khan Bowled.

GO INDIA!!!!

Really pleased for Sehwag, cant wait to go home and watch the rest of the series live!

Even with nearly 350 on the board I still don't feel comfortable that India will win, lol. Thats how much confidence I have in India's bowlers.

 

[masterblaster]

WHOOOOO!

What a batting peformance, boy am I proud of these guys. Well done to the entire team, a solid consistent batting effort even with VVS Laxman missing.

Sehwag - Brutal, Dravid - Ever dependable, Kaif - Handy

Well done Team India.

Richard was spot on with his opinion of Sami, he bowled very poorly today, very poorly. Akhtar as well was wayward and not disciplined at all.

Naved Ul Hasan's first over was pathetic despite taking 3 wickets later on.

Hopefully India's bowling clicks today and win's comfortably.

Pakistan's bowling, which is their main strength has something to think about.

 

[KishanTeli]

India's final Score after 50 overs: 349/7

Pakistan require 350 at 7.00 runs per over.
