**Official** India v Pakistan

[marc71178]

AND lets not count our chicks till the eggs are hatched.

312 is not a massive score but its not dismal. It has to be overtaken first.

Yes, Shoaib not being there is a relief but then again, its easy to write off bowlers just because they are not the best in their side. Look at the Pakistani Medium pacers and ask yourself if some of them would not contend for a place in the Indian side (other than Shaoib) ? The honest answer has to be yes. So if our medium pacers can get them out (yes I know our batting is better) lets not just write them off and talk of 600 plus totals.

It can happen but then again, it may not.

Leave your coloured glasses at home and watch

Blimey SJS, don't you know it's not in the spirit of this thread to actually think before posting about the opposition?

Even if a days play is washout coz of rain, the next three days are good enogh for India to beat Pakistan, basically Pakistan cannot avoid defeat now.

I've heard of overconfidence before, but this is one of the most OTT statements I've seen in a while.

 

[Sehwag309]

Hopefully can have some play

But this is spectacular, Bhangra, LIVE Punjabi Music on the ground and everyone's dancing

Players exercising on the field..cloud cover

Looks India might be in trouble, conditions are perfect for Swing. Batting wont be easy

 

[Sehwag309]

Hey Shahid_afridi, are you able to watch cricket matches in Germany too?

Just wondering , i thought it wouldn't be possible to watch match on that part of Europe.

SONY TV, plus webcasting...its possible to watch anywhere

Yeah i guess you are right, i did under-estimate mother nature, i mean if it continue to rain then how can India think of winning the match?

Why do you worry. Havent you heard ....

India needs to bat for most of the 2 days and pile up total in excess of 600-600+ . This shouldn't be difficult keeping in mind the quality of Indian batting lineup and the weak bowling lineup of Pakistan.

I don't think Pakistani pacers will be able to make any impression on Indian batsmen, Rani Sami and Razzak will be taken with ease while Danish atmost might do a decent job by keeping Indian batsmen quite.

If India is able to take a 300-350 runs wkt, then i think India will bowl out Pakistan to below 200 runs score in the second innings (wkt won't be easy in second innings and will take spin) and will win the match by an innings margin on fourth day.

Relax....

That Sehwag Late cut off Naved on this track was some shot man

 

[Sehwag309]

OOOH boy, Man Sehwag is Lucky

Umr dropped him, just like he did in Multan last time around

 

[twctopcat]

Unlucky Sami, he seems to be bowling pretty well, needs rana to do the same.

 

[Jono]

How could they drop Sehwag! Umar drops him too! Same player as in Multan when Sehwag got the triple century. Are they asking for another 309?

That could prove costly because Sehwag is flying here.

 

[Jono]

India flying at 6 an over here.

 

[twctopcat]

He's in one of his moods by the sounds of things, no doubt he will give another chance, just a matter of when and if the pakistanis can take it!!

 

[Sehwag309]

Sami was OK, not great bowling

 

[twctopcat]

I love these one dayers...........

 

[Jono]

Very good start for India. If they can hopefully continue that after tea (probably not at that rate ) and get another 100-120 on the board (are they having an extended last session?) then they will be well on top. But if Pakistan get wickets early after the break, well who knows.

Right now India well on top though.

 

[shaka]

67/0 off 11 overs at tea, excellent Sehwag has 41 off 38 deliveries, back to his old best, too bad they are not playing Australia when in this sort of form

[Sehwag309]

I actually thought India would be something like 30-2, Dravid defending, Sachin playing slowly...very difficult batting, swing etc
