**Official** India v Pakistan

I reckon that shows Inzy has a slight interest in getting the total.


Afridi has neither the potential nor the temperament to win this match for Pakistan. He's not a test material, you need batsmen like Gilli, Viv Richards or maybe Sehwag to achieve such results

How can you say that was deliberate, even if it was i can tell me many incidents when a bowler has been found in such a situation, Akhtar cannot be bashed just coz of that.

Pathan's behaviour was far more ugly than that of Afridi, coz Pathan was getting physical.Also considering Afridi's aggressive nature and his strength if Pathan would have acted in such a manner with Afridi it would have ended up in a wrestling match.You sure you want that?
Well, I definately cannot prove if that was deliberate, but I know it was deliberate. Cant debate you on that.

i dunno, already he seems serious about doing the job.

COULD THIS BE THE INNINGS THAT BRING PAKISTAN A REMARKABLE VICTORY?

Well its all about opinions.

Afridi at times does get involves in sledging, and so does Harbhajjan, Zaheer Khan and Malik, but Akhtar is much better tahn the mentioned one.Atleaset he doesn't use dirty language

I wonder what Afridi's instructions were. Perhaps he's out there to just have a go, and if he gets out Pakistan will shut up shop?

If he plays the ball according to merit then he can win the match for Pakistan (though still it will be extremely difficult). But Afridi has not done that in nearly 150 + matches so far (oneday+test) therefore i do'n't think he is going to last long.

C :p nsidering they loses test matches on most occasions, you love the way they lose their matches???

PPl should support India coz after Australia they are the most talented team, but again if they support Pak or even SL , then i have no problem

People gave them little chance of saving the 1st Test.

If India was set a target of 400+ by Pakistan in the fouth innings on this pitch and had Pakistan been playing with Saqlain (when he was on top of his form) and Kaneria, i would have given India very little chance too.
