I want to know on what basis from this series you can say there's a clear gap in all 3 of batting, bowling and fielding.

9.4 Harbhajan Singh to Shahid Afridi, no run, pitched outside the off
stump and turning in, defended on the front-foot with a straight
bat

*has heart-attack and dies*

9.6 Harbhajan Singh to Shahid Afridi, SIX, big one! tossed up outside
the off stump, lofted away well over the long-off fence, going
down on one knee as he played it, massive six!

hahahahahahahahaha i am so unsuprised! what a coincidence.

Why exactly?
The reasons being :

a) They play more aggressively than India. I could not digest the fact that Indian players like Tendulkar/Dravid/Ganguly/Laxman managed to score only 2-2.5 runs per over after they were like 300/3 during the 1st innings of the Mohali test. That was mind boggling for me.
b) They have better allrounders than us.
c) India has a better bowling line up, but in the batsmen dominated one dayers I do not see them doing a lot for India.
d) Their batting line up has started clicking off late and they would like to carry the tempo of the test series to the one day series after every one had written them off for the test series.
e) India needs Ganguly to bat else step down from the post of the captain.

These are some of the reasons I could think of.

India has it's own advantages:
a)Tendulkar has come out of his shell.
b) Dravid has been more aggressive.
c) Balaji is in good form.
d) They have a better fielding and bowling side than Pakistan.

10 overs to go. Afridi (and really Umar) NEED/S to be there at the end of them.
Afridi doesn't. If he gets to 50, I reckon he's done his job and surpassed expectations. If Pakistan win, I really doubt it will be mainly thanks to him; he's a get-the-ball-rolling guy.
