Personally I was most dissapointed with Sachin, I know he has a 93, and 2 other 50's in the series, also I understand from his point that he has to adapt to different role as a batsmen everytime team and ganguly require him to, but sometimes hes just got to put his footdown and say damn it let me play my game!!!!!Sanz said:

And They expect to win the heart of the pakistanis huh jeez what sort of people is that.

The silence of Pakistan's victory
The sustained silence that greeted Pakistan's extraordinary victory today was the lowest point of a superb Test series. Given how a year ago applause had poured in for a dramatic last-ball victory by the Indians at Karachi, an applause that then resonated for the rest of the tour, Bangalore was an embarrassment.
This is not to say that applause must beget applause. As much would be gratuitous. Indeed, there is a minor consolation in that India-Pakistan cricket is assuming an air of normalcy, able to stand by itself as a sporting encounter. Yet if the first step towards that normalcy includes the inability to recognize the worth of the opponent's performance, then there is reason to worry. Bangalore must count as the most graceless performance by an Indian crowd since the racist barbs which were thrown at the West Indians by Bombayites two seasons ago.
Pakistan played stirring cricket today, and have done all series, notwithstanding the last day at Calcutta. They came a young and fragile team and that from a tour of Australia. Plain to the eye they worked phenomenally hard and shed themselves of fear. Inzamam and his exquisite hundred from 7 for 2 in the opening hour; Sami and his long pouty spells of short and fast bowling; Afridi, batting, bowling and fielding like a bomb on speed; Kaneria and his relentless scatter-limbed twirling, and of course, Younis Khan, who completed one of cricket's great turnarounds from Mohali, where he could not take guard without dropping a catch or losing his wicket…. Pakistan were inspiring at Bangalore. Considering the situation at lunch yesterday, they made a match out of nothing. They deserved a hand.
It should be perhaps spelt out here that there was no viciousness on view. Rather it was an indifference, one which has been evident over the last few days. Kaneria, among the performers of the series, regularly patrolled the boundary in front of the stand I have watched from, and not once did he receive appreciation at the end of a successful over or spell. Afridi was met with similar apathy. Words directed at them, if any, were not flattering. The contrast when an Indian extra walked by with a crate of drinks was embarrassing. Rarely was a Pakistani boundary or an Indian wicket, and there were enough of both, clapped on.
At the presentation ceremony fifteen minutes after the finish today, modest applause was handed out to Inzamam and Younis Khan. Again, the reception was, what, twenty times smaller than the boos for Ganguly and the cheers for Sehwag. Simply, you would think that this Test match was being played by one team. Well, it almost was, and that team was not India.
Granted that the Indians played pathetic cricket on the day, and the shock of their supporters is understandable. But just as there was a leaf to be taken out of Pakistan's marvellous performance by the Indian cricket team, so should there be one for the Indian spectators from their counterparts'. This insularity is regressive and terribly disturbing.

If that is your arguement for Tendulkar being past his best I am afraid its a weak one.marc71178 said:
Its the first time in his career he has been scoring as much below twenty. And in this series he has started scoring more consistently again even though the big scores havent come.
People forget the past and potential from his big scores very fast.
no he didnt...as i saw it and so did the snik-o-meter there was one sound that means ball hit pad and bat together...fair decision he deserved to b out earlier anyway...i really hated the way the indian players sulked at the desions ESP ganguly...inzi banned for 1 match btwbiased indian said:didn't he gave gambir out lbw with a inside edge
but he did a excellent job in the end during the pressure situations
to b fair i didnt see any decent i actually saw billy running after inzi to explain sumting...inzi was just asking which as far as i knw asking is not illegalPS dont go giving me examples of inzi sulking in mohali coz he shouldnt have been given out according to the decision made today

I don't think it will hurt Pakistan much, knowing they'll play their next test against West-Indies, who'll be without their best players.
You are as clear and concise in your pot as Saurav is in his muddled mind. I posted after India lost 3-4 wickets and whjat I said came true. Ganguly is a spoily brat and the Indian performance was pathetic. They don't need sycophant fans - what they need is a kick in the 'a%^%' by being dropped so their money endorsements come to an end. Then they will imrpove.SJS said:

Yeah with the bat and bowl.aussie said:
It looks like England are now undoubtly the 2nd best team in the world after India's performances. Where was the Indian team that was in Australia 2 summers ago, it the same names but not the same performances. Maybe that Australian bowling attack was really that bad and most sides in the world would of had the same results aganist it.
