***Official*** India in Pakistan

[irfan]

Palvashay, i c that u are new, plz ignore trolls like vandemataram and sheerindianspeed as they incessantly flame bait any team (esp Pak) whenever India perfoms well and dissappear/insult their own team whenever India puts an abject perfomance.Plz don't think these users reflect the vast majority of Indian supporters on this forum

Too bad that this match isn't being played in India , otherwise India might have entered into the next match with it's B team. I think some jawans from Punjab in VRV and sunny Singh, and others in Munaf Patel, Jaffer etc could easily have been tried in the last match (which would be of little importance in any case) and i think our B team is good enough to beat this clueless and demoralised Pak team!

LOL, thanks for the heads up =)
And for a losing side...Not bad so far...

Gambhir just threw his wkt didn't Chappel tell him not to spend time with Pak batsmen!

Can something please be done about vandemataram now? I reckon he's crossed the line from just being an annoying troll over the years and is now plain out insulting the Pakistani fans calling them losers losers. Maybe its not a bannable offence, but honestly its detrimental to this board and a warning wouldn't go astray.

I think its time for you to mind your own business.I have not insulted any fan, and i certianly didn't call them losers, i was referring it to Pak team and that too only because they spoiled the party by putting up a poor total.

In any case loser isn't that bad a word, and certainly not as bad as some of the words which you have been using in the past!

Disappointed in the total, why didn't you just enjoy the good bowling effort by India? And have you seen the way the Pakistani fans have congratulated the Indians here after their great bowling performances? Hell they could have come in this thread and called the Indian team losers after they failed to take the 3rd test to a 5th day, hence not allowing them to enjoy another day of cricket. Yet they took the win with grace, something I wish you'd learn to do.

Would you stop being a dictator??? As long as i'm not using offensive words, there is no need to attack me hysterically. I don't need to know as to what to say and what not to say from you.

And if you have actually watched the match ( i doubt it) then you would have known by now that Pak batsmen played extremely poor shots, and it wasn't a case of being blown away by unplayable bowling. I actually used very mild language for them, just wait till you get to read the Pakistani newspaper to realise what is being said about them.

*sigh* Dravid is such a class act...Its difficult not to enjoy his composure and elegance even in such a dire situation...

Thanks for missing the point. Answer my question though, why must you try and make the Pakistani fans feel like crap by denigrating their cricket team when none of the fans (that are here anyway) are doing the same to the Indian team? What is your grudge against them, seriously? India didn't exactly play brilliant cricket on day 4 of the 3rd test, and frankly they could have made that test much more exciting than being bundled out like they were. I didn't see any Pakistani fans here insulting your team. Why do the same for?

And yes I did watch a lot of the Pakistani innings on live stream, I was at cricket training for the first 15-odd overs but India were hitting the right lines and lengths putting pressure on Pakistan. They stuffed up with their batting order and general attitude with the bat, but I guarantee you that if Pathan, Sreesanth etc. were chucking down pies like they did in the 1st ODI Pakistan would have scored more. Instead they bowled with discipline and patience. Why not just appreciate that.

Anyway I'll leave you to it, because this is obviously all in vain anyway.

I can understand some Indians getting upset over the match, Pakistan really played poorly and had they batted sensibly (or more appropriately had they been captained wisely) and had put up a 240-250 total then it would have been a great match.


It would be interesting what Inzi has to say after the match is over, will he still defend his decision of sending leading Pak batsmen down the order?? If he does that then that guy is a disgrace.

I wouldn't like to take anything away from indian bowlers, but i must say that Pakistani batsmen gifted their wkts.The bowling wasn't extraordinary, and if they continue to play like this, then we might see a below 100 runs total when Pak play matches in England

 

[Jono]

Yes India didn't bowl inswinging yorkers which were unplayable, no doubt. It wasn't a "WOW, India were just brilliant" performance, but they bowled good lines, and Pakistan batted pretty poorly. I understand you'd be frustrated with that, as every cricket fan would be if their team batted like that, but I think if the same situation occurred and India bowled like they did in the 1st ODI, Pakistan's risky batting would have worked and 300+ would have occurred.

Well then India have learnt something, but Pakistan have learnt nothing!

I mean what good is a team that can only put up a respectable total ,(that too on a placcid pitch) only when the opponet bowlers are wayward??

Bowling wasn't extraordinary? C'mon give them credit where its due...Sure there were MAJOR strategic flaws within the Pakistani team, however, RP Singh and Pathan (towards the end) bowled beautifully...

A team that still needs to be groomed.

Maybe the talk about Pakistan challenging Australia during the World Cup was premature? Maybe it wasn't and Pakistan are ready and have just hit a minor road block? That being said, I think you're pointed out exactly the problem with Pakistani currently. They need to adapt more when the bowling is actually of good quality. India's batting in the 3rd ODI is a good example of this, where when the conditions were tough they battled hard and went at around 4-4.5 an over, and then when it eased up, the ball was older and the better bowlers were out of the way/bowling became crap they seized the advantage. Maybe Pakistan will learn this, who knows.

Look don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to discredit the Indian team and their bowlers by any means.They certainly played better cricket and deserve to win the series.

When i said that the bowling wasn't extraordinary, i only meant that it wasn't as if it was unplayable, and i do believe that some of Pak batsmen's just threw away their wkts.

Yea I do agree with you to some degree...I certainly expected more from Buttsie, Akmal and Younis...But these bowling figures are good.

Bowling O M R W
Pathan 7.5 2 26 3 (1w)
Sreesanth 8 1 30 1 (4w)
Singh 10 0 40 4 (10w)
Agarkar 7 0 38 1 (1w)
Tendulkar 9 0 27 1 (1w)

Apart from the abundance of wides, the Indian bowling was very good in that it was consistent and accurate, especially that of SRT, which always puts Pakistani batsmen under pressure. Despite that, I want to know why Pakistan came out with the strategy of going at 1.5 runs per and refusing to hit the crap balls. Also, what the hell was Imran Farhat doing playing a one handed front foot hook shot after Pakistan had sacrificed a bowler to substitute him?
