Six by Naveed! He's hitting big with nothing to lose at this point.

Maybe it's not played diplomatically after all

Maybe it's not played diplomatically after all

Indeed, it isnt.

 

[viktor]

Naved Hasan hasn't been told about the diplomacy

 

[adharcric]

Our spinners are bowling rubbish for a change. Bring back Sreesanth.

 

[adharcric]

Venu!! Great catch.

 

[What-A-Player]

Who should be Man of the Match?

So many performances

 

[adharcric]

Dravid gets Inzy! Game set match. Dravid MOM.

 

[Fusion]

Inzi is gone at last. Great knock from him as everyone else (besides Naveed marginally) failed.

 

[Beleg]

Oh boy Inzy...

Why is it that Inzy is constantly on the look-out for fresh and inventive ways of run-outs?

You don't back-up half way down the pitch unless it is the last ball of the match. And yet it was an extremely sharp and agile piece of thinking by Dravid; someone sure had done their homework.

Great innings though, despite the luck with the Harbhajan LBW. (Pathan's had an element of doubt IMO)

India fielding today, barring the odd drop catch, was absolutely top-notch. Yuvraj singh is fast becoming one of my favorite players. I counted at least 8 runs which he saved through his fielding, not to mention the psychological effect on the minds of the batsmen and the extraordinary catch he took diving forward towards the right. (Reaction time was around 0.7 seconds - it was a full-blooded sweep)

All of those talking about match-fixing: screw off folks. You'd only have to look at Dravid, Yuvraj, Venu (heck even Inzamam, seeking the brows on his normally stoic face crease into a frown as he witnessed his partners gifting away their wickets to lollies) to see that, unless they were clones of Duleep Kumar in disguise, the match was absolutely real to them.

 

[adharcric]

Sreesanth wraps it up, India win!

 

[Dravid]

Bowled him and India equal the series

 

[Fusion]

Well done India! Though it makes me wish there was a third game to decide a series winner!

 

[Dravid]

I agree..whats the point in having a two game series, even though it was to raise money...they should've had a third game

 

[Beleg]

A deserving win, cogragulations to the Indian cricket team for a fine all-round cricketing display. Even though I was emotionally invested in a Pakistani win, their demeanour exuded such a positive vibe that I was forced to appreciate their team spirit and resolve.

..ahem, diplomatic series

i agree with u mate...i jsut hate it wen people talk abt match fixing. This series meant a lot to the players. I guess, after all that match-fixing in the past we cannot blame those who think dat there was any match fixing. Anyway, well done to both teams! shame dat there wasnt a third ODI

 

[What-A-Player]

Can't you guys take joke!!

 

[PakPowered]

Bread and butter for Pakistan, also PakPowered and IndianbyHeart your probably the same person but nevertheless you boys know your stuff.

My prediction turn out to be correct, but only for the second match!!

In any case, please maintain sanity over here and DON'T act like a jerk, if you have nothing postive to contribute then keep your mouth shut instead of acting like a fool.

 

[Sanz]

Finally and India win cleared the traffic Jam.
