India is probably going to win this match with ease. Pak will be in a very difficult situation and they have only themselves to blame, they way they bowled was criminal.I can't understand as to why a spinner had to bowl the last over???

Rana was on song today, this is the kind of performance i expect from him on ost occasion and he doesn't dissapoint me :happy: Danish probably played the last match of this tour and i think he won't be able to play another onedayer some a long time after such a performance.

Erm anyway back on topic, Pakistan off to a flyer, 65/0 after 8, Afridi 38* off 20. What's the bet GladiatrsInBlue won't return until a wicket falls... 8-)

Afridi finally gone!!! Balaji bowls, Afridi tries to play it to mid-wicket, but the ball goes up in the air right there and Tendulkar takes a very good catch at mid off. Pakistan lose their first wicket and are now 68-1 after 8.4

Pakistans new batsman is Abdul Razzaq. Lets see how he does in this inning.

Looks like I have to yet again watch recorded version, India secure at 315 - very little
315 is not very little by any means. Any score over 300 is always hard for any team to chase no matter what the pitch is. Even Australia at times has promlems chasing scores over 300

Interesting stategy by Pak, they have sent in razzak at one down

Pakistan basically need big partnership. Considering Inzi and Youhanna will be comming next, i believe Younis and Akmal will be wasted down the order.Razzak could have been usefull down the order with his big hitting.

I don't know if sending razzaq in now is a good idea, pakistan's biggest strength is probably guys like afridi and razzaq hitting at the end, having one of them early is fine but who is gonna hit big later on??

You are right but Pakistan are in the flow right now and they don't need things to go slow again. If Inzimam or Youhana came in they would've most likely taken their time while Razzaq will go for the shots and keep up with the current run rate or around that.

Like I said in my last post I think it is the right move. If Pakistan lose their flow right now they might come under pressure and all the batsman might get out because of that. I think Inzimam did the right thing and sent in Razzaq so Pakistan don't slow down. If someone else might have come in then things would've been slowen down, Pakistani batsman would've come under pressure and all of them would've got out one by one due to playing shots that aren't needed to up the run rate.

Exactly, a 300 plus score can never be called little, especially when its a 48 over game.
