Any news on Indian express pacer Munaf??? he made headlines in almost all newspapers and seems to have disappeared now.

The problem I see with Pathan now is that he has no pace and just doesn't look like getting a wicket.
Apart from Balaji no pacer does in this series.

IKP will prove his critics wrong, just give him some time and he will bouce back with a bang!

The Indian version of Shoaib Actor....

He was definitely good enough to make an Indian side on his bowling, but his fielding was no good, nor was his attitude towards injuries. He used to walk off the field even for small niggles. The people that mattered, from India-A coach Sandeep Patil to the MCA officials, were unimpressed. He missed the entire Ranji season due to an injury, which may not have been so serious.

If India wins the series 1-0 or 2-0 , then they will be the fav's to win OD series.
Whatever happens in the next test match, Pakistan will still be favourites to win the ODI series.

When there is no hope, then even the likes of Khalil's gets fans.

I shudder to think what will happen to ur team when the role model for future generation would be Khalil, and Rana.
rana is a fantastic role model, name one person who tries harder for his country, and one person who makes use of all his talents...and i spose ur a great role model r u? criticising international players who r trying their best for their countries wot have u ever done for ur country which is outstanding?

Can't understand what Inzi and Bob has against Asim and Danish. Branding someone test players without even giving them a chance to prove themselves in OD is foolish.

I would like to see how Yasir Arafat performs, he took 6 wkts in Pak A win against England A today.
well asim is naturally a first class and test player not a one dayer...and not all that much of a big hitter or run getter, more a crease occupier...danish hasnt performed in the ODIs he has played...10 matches and 9 wickets, i think thats the reason...cant think of any other reasons

That's true. I really don't see India winning the ODI series even if they trash Pakistan in Bangalore.

Rana is a fantastic role model. A guy who is 200% commited to his country. The level of dedication and commitment that this guy has shown is exemplary. Just take a look at some of the articles that were published after his performance in the VB series. One more fact, wasn't it Rana that ran through the Indian Batting lineup in the Champions trophy encounter. I think it was. So next time before being degrading and disrespectful to a player can you please choose ur comments a bit more wisely. Thanks. Nothing personal.
