**Official** India v Pakistan

[Sehwag309]

Oops, Man, they were going so well. bad shot from Butt

 

[SJS]

Pak winning is a serious, serious possibility here. These two seem to be coasting.

Its still a long way off but if they do it, you have to stand up and applaud them

 

[Sehwag309]

And Malik is yet another powerful hitter

 

[maxpower]

Yes. But these figures are for 12 overs (in a 60 over game). The rate at which Afridi was going, 82 in 9 overs, he would have given a run to Sneddedn if he had 3 more overs

and then suddenly a contender emerges in Nehra !!

 

[Beleg]

Razzaq needs to go on and make a hundred while Inzamam needs to play a Dravid here.

Another poor shot from Butt. His technique may be fine and his abilities excellent, but he desperately needs some coaching in mental discipline.

 

[honestbharani]

I put the lip on Salman. Sorry.

 

[SJS]

and then suddenly a contender emerges in Nehra !!

Come back to this space after the match

 

[Sehwag309]

What if Sachin gets Spanked for plenty in his 1st?

 

[Beleg]

Not a chance. They aren't about to take a risk until they absolutely have to.

 

[SJS]

What if Sachin gets Spanked for plenty in his 1st?

Bring him back after a wicket falls.

 

[SJS]

Ok it hasnt happened.

If they cant go after Sachin, Pakistan are finished.

 

[Beleg]

Pretty clever captaincy by Ganguly. Instead of employing Harbajhan as many thought he presists with Khan, who, so far, has looked the most threatening of all. (Not to mention has contained Razzaq pretty well. The player who tonked him for a few has been dismissed and Inzamam is relatively new at the crease...)

 

[SJS]

Admiriable spirit shown by Pakistan.

Here is a side not going to give up easily. Stirring stuff.

 

[Beleg]

I think going after Tendulkar would be a mistake. Certain death at this stage. They are better off trying to attack the pacers - specially Nehra and Balaji. And Tendulkar is bound to bowl a loose one every over or two, which can be dispatched without too much risk. Their focus should be on to stay at the crease and keep the run-rate under 8.

I am glad you say that.

Now to ask those who said the other day he bowled ordinary stuff. He doesnt bowl ordinary stuff. He is a smart thinking bowler and you neeed to think how to tackle him.

Yes you right they should keep their cool and play him on merit rather than get infuriated by his bowling and try to hammer him.

 

[Beleg]

Oh yes, Tendulkar has a very able cricketing brain on his body. Reminds me of Wasim Akram a bit.

 

[honestbharani]

I still think Pakistan are well on course to win this game.

 

[SJS]

Oh yes, Tendulkar has a very able cricketing brain on his head. Reminds me of Wasim Akram a bit.

Bad luck. Razzaq seems to be having dehydration problem. Cramps

 

[maxpower]

its not the angle the arm is at, its the degree of straightening that is the issue..if he keeps his arm at that angle throughout the rotation, then its ok

I would like to know from what point to what point in a rotation is the straightening measured by ICC (e.g from when the hand is by the head till the end of rotation perhaps). the reason I ask is because some ppl have flexible wrist and most fast bowler also use their wrist for effort ball and I dont think those should be labeled as chuck.

 

[SJS]

I still think Pakistan are well on course to win this game.

You donr THINK they are going to win, you are SCARED that they just might
