**Official** India v Pakistan

[SJS]

I Said That 2 U Sjs, U Silly Idiot

Oh !!

So you are little not just in the heart.

You are virtually non-existent in the head too !!

To whom did you say , little fellow....

Afridi?? he's a fluke , how can he be a key man??

Key men are Inzi,Youhanna, malik and Butt.​

I hope your memory card is also not as worn out as your ideas or as corrupted as your language

I Also Think Kumble Will Give Of His Best Against Pakistan As He Has Always Performed Well Against Pakistan....the Best I Cud Remember Was Wen He Got All 10 Wickets In An Innings Against Pak. I Think He Ended With 10/64 On That Day.

well the wicket certainly has flattened out, the new ball is doing a lot less for india than it was for pakistan. hopefully for india it will turn seriously though.

 

[honestbharani]

err yes i know.
but seriously seaming tracks dont just magically seam on the last 2 days, they may show uneven bounce on the last 2 days, but unless it rains they dont just suddenly end up seaming al over the place all of a sudden.
many indian wickets though have been 'slow turners' for all 5 days though, even if they've developed the odd rough patch here and there which hardly affects anything.

I am not sure what you meant by the first two lines but yes, most tracks in India do tend to be slow turners, but that doesn't mean batting is EASY there. Scoring quick is still difficult. You can stay at the wicket, but that is just one part of batting. The other part is to score runs and if you have good disciplined bowlers, you can still deny those scoring opportunities because the track is slow and the ball doesn't come on to the bat, and get wickets that way.

chalk this one in the L column for IND.

exactly, scoring runs on slow turners is never easy, especially against quality spinners. and no batting isnt easy in india, but all ive said is that batting has been easier in india on the whole than it has been in a place like england or NZ. certainly australia and SA have gotten a lot flatter over the years and are easily flatter than pitches in the sub continent.
good players though dont have problems against slow turn.

 

[SJS]

Fluke over by Balaji. Gets hit for 23 runs.

1 6 2(L) 4 6 4

Batsman Shahid 'fluke' Afridi

 

[Beleg]

Contrary to tec (and have to say mine too) expectations, Afridi fires.

And just look at him go! Kumble was PWNED.

Well, I think the wickets in England now (some of them, atleast) and in Australia are turning out to be reasonably flat ones too..... But a lot depends on the time of the year when you are playing. Play in North India in December and I promise you tracks that will put Headingley to shade.

 

[honestbharani]

And, SJS, don't curse India like that again...... You mentioned something about Afridi and look what is happening now.

 

[Beleg]

that was nothing.

Next over - Kumble

6,6,0,1wd,4,6,0

 

[SJS]

BREAKING NEWS !!!​

Afridi plays a dot ball !!

Kumble has him in trouble.

Afridi's last seven deliveries before this magic ball

6 2(L) 4 6 4 6 6

Some fluke !!!

 

[shaka]

wow what a start by Afridi, his dangerous best, 55/0 after 5.1 overs, Afridi on 43*

 

[SJS]

And, SJS, don't curse India like that again...... You mentioned something about Afridi and look what is happening now.

I am not cursing. Some India supporters are totally devoid of any grey matter.

I said Afridi is a key man because on this wicket with a bit of low in bounce, a batsman like Afridi can take the game away in quick time. While lesser mortals will play a more normal game and get a delivery like Yuvraj did which they wont be able to play.

But these guys are so full of their "fanatically blind' nationalism that any realism hurts them. It would have been laughable were it not a desease !!

 

[LongHopCassidy]

43 off 14 balls!

He's doing the highlights guy's job for him.

 

[honestbharani]

lol.yeah. They are actually the ones who tend to jinx India, I think. (At least, they may stop behaving that way if we say this. ) But yeah, Pak to win by 6 wickets by the 45th over.....

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Afridi takes a single off the first ball of the over.

 

[SJS]

Sure he is heading for the fastest fifty if he doesnt get out

 

[SA LittleMaster]

hey sjs u ashole, dnt curse india u f@#* head

 

[Beleg]

59 from 21 balls.
