Forget about Balaji's five wides, the Pakistani bowlers bowled 30 no-balls and wides! Hopefully the Indian bowlers won't go that far- they can't afford to.

Sohail says that Kaif needs to work on his batting and can't stay in the team on his fielding alone- he must work on sixes and fours at number seven. But will he get too many chances at 7? With less than 10 overs left? When he's one who takes his time and doesn't score in big shots? No doubt he should work on the big shots, but that's not his game.
India is the only team in the world to have a pure batsman at number seven !!

It is ridiculous. Much better to have a bowling all rounder. Powar would have been much more suited for this spot. Even Irfan would have been better.

Pakistan might have Younis Khan coming in at seven, or even eight.

You are an idiot.

If it wasn't for the fact that the required rate is 6.5ish, I would say Pakistan are cruising. Still, they look a very good chance for victory here.

Pathetic captaincy from Ganguly. Giving away singles too easily and not forcing the pakistanis to take any risks at this stage.

It is amazing that he bowled Sehwag for only 1 over and took him off though he gave away only 4 runs.

His use of Sehwag's bowling in the entire series has been pathetic.

Ganguly's mistakes as captain are galore. His coming in after Dhoni got out cost India minimum 20 runs.

He doesnt deserve a place as a captain, does he ?

Unless something dramatic happens Pakistan will run away with the game.

For a change Manjraker raises a valid point in the commentry, IMO.
More and more sub-continent spinners these days tend to rely more on line, length and bounce rather than/alongside exuberant spin.

Agree or disagree?

Although I can't see the match on TV, i'm sure there must be something wrong with Ganguly's field settings. Razzaq and Malik have put on 74 runs at a run a ball, and both have only hit one boundary each. Ganguly absolutely must force them to take risks, at this rate all it will require is a little flourish towards the end and Pakistan will get home easily. Having said that, I hope Pakistan will win, so don't change a thing. :p

At the end of 26 overs, Pakistan has played 65 dot balls and 75 singles, 6 twos and 3 threes. Thats 96 runs run out of 170 odd. Shows how badly Ganguly's strategy of just cutting boundaries and allowing them singles has backfired. They are taking 4 - 5 single minimum every over.

This is very sensible batting. Razzaq doing a Michael Bevan rather than a Shahid Afridi.
