**Official** Pakistan in India

[morgieb]

Insane stuff from Dhoni.

 

[ankitj]

relax dude......RRR is already up to 5 RPO

Not sure if we can keep it tight in middle overs if we don't take more wickets, especially since we don't have Ajmal and Hafeez sort of bowlers.

 

[ankitj]

Yeah, seriously, What do people see in Dinda?

Is there any distinguishing feature of his bowling apart from consistently hitting late 130s with the ball with no direction?

According to Gavaskar he has a big heart, whatever that means

 

[Daemon]

Yeah even Vinay Kumar at least used to be accurate. Dinda is just poo.

 

[Jono]

Think it was me? Called him on his belly, but didn't say anything about his fitness tbh.

Nah wasn't you.

 

[Cruxdude]

As long as Pakistan can get to the middle overs with wickets in hand they should win. Need at least 2 more wickets and soon. Thing is can't see where they will come from considering Kumar is done with his spell.

 

[Jono]

Ishant why can't you step up for once ****

 

[Cevno]

Will bowl another over by Kumar here, maybe 2 even.

 

[Teja.]

5-2-5-1 is a pretty gun start to ODI cricket, it must be said.

 

[Cevno]

Oh FFS!

Should have hit in all honesty there.

 

[Teja.]

Yep, that's taken.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Azhar looked a bit awful, surprise cause he has a pretty decent technique to bat it out standing still

 

[Cruxdude]

Kumar!!! Really impressive youngster this guy

 

[Manee]

Good bouncer and good at the death. That is what he offers in ODIs. It isn't enough to warrant selection but it is better than nothing. He should just play T20I imo. He is very good in the T20 format.

 

[Cevno]

Haha got him.

Azhar Ali got himself in a awkward position charging every ball.

 

[Daemon]

Nah no need to mouth him off Bhuv, I was just starting to like you too

 

[Cevno]

Would probably play Vinay ahead of him in both, unless they are absolute flat 200 type conditions in T20'S.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

You know, after seeing India only make 227 and this match being in Chennai I thought Pakistan would make this easy.

I'm mistaken it seems.

 

[Cruxdude]

This seems so similar to Irfan Pathan against Pakistan in 2004. Was very impressive then and used to get Yousuf consistently.

 

[Jono]

Nah he didn't go overboard. Just let him know who is boss.
