**Official** India v Pakistan

[Beleg]

He is bowling pretty decently though. Plenty of dot-balls in between the odd boundry.

 

[Beleg]

So, what do you people think is a good total on this track?

 

[Anil]

pakistan are well-poised to take the series unless there is an incredible batting performance from the indians...

 

[Beleg]

Anil,

don't you think this talk of doom and gloom is a bit pre-mature?

I am not sure this wicket is going to last. There are big rough patches already where the bowlers feet land and its going to get worse. I think if Pakistan get 270, it might be adequate. At present they seem headed for 300 or more.

Not that limited over game isnt capable of makimg farce of all predictions.

Youhana gone.

Very close run-out decision going in favour of Indians.

Third umpire gives benefit of doubt to fielding side !!!!

Very strange. It was definitely not clear (split frame decision) and the benefit of doubt should have gone to Yohanna.

 

[Bouncer]

That decision will putt some breaks on Pak's progress....It was a Mind Bogling decision though...very very Harsh.....But Its cricket so i will take it.

 

[Beleg]

Yup, I think everyone will agree that the benefit of doubt in this instance should have gone to the batsman.

(Why is it that batsman swerve away closing in on the crease instead of running in a straight line?)

 

[deeps]

WTF?!?!??!! that was a ridicilous decision! should never have gone in favour of the fielding team!

James, as bouncer didnt really try and break rules and he had no intention to do so, can't you let it slip just this once? It was partly my fault for asking, i didnt realise it was against forum rules.

Anil,

don't you think this talk of doom and gloom is a bit pre-mature?

that's just my way...

prepare yourself for the worst...so that you won't get hit so hard...

it's a defense mechanism...

inzy needs to be taken out early...so does razzaq and akmal...please, please guys, make a lot of stupid mistakes.....

 

[SJS]

Mongia bowls outside legstump, Inzy sweeps for four. First boundary in 13 overs !

 

[Anil]

as long as pakistan has wickets intact, the runrate is not going to go below 5 an over and they can start going after the bowling in the last 12-13 overs...anyway, good job by harb and tendulkar so far....

bring back aa now, he has a knack for picking quick wickets even though he does go for a lot...

 

[Anil]

why isn't sehwag bowling?

 

[biased indian]

A. Agarkar 3.0 0 21 0 0 0 7
A. Nehra 6.0 0 53 1 0 0 8.83
Z. Khan 6.0 0 28 1 0 0 4.67

D. Mongia 4.1 0 18 0 0 0 4.32
H. Singh 8.0 1 31 0 0 0 3.88
S. Tendulkar 4.0 0 17 0 0 0 4.25

this tells a lot about the pitch, and they leave out Kumble for AA

 

[Anil]

inzi glides along at a run a ball...that guy can make batting look so effortless....

 

[Tony Blade]

Direct hit. Malik safe this time
