International Captain
For a social commentator (nay, Australia's foremost) that was a turdacious comment.
Well if you can get anywhere near zero that's news to me.Pinkline Jones said:Richard,
Warne "gone to pieces" hey mate - well it wouldn't be anywhere near the number of times YOU've gone to pieces on this forum when challenged.
Well most of Danish's own countrymen don't think he can't do much in India.Richard said:Really?
Arshad Khan will turn the ball as much as Harbhajan and Kumble and is every bit (if not maybe even more) accurate, and Kaneria ain't far behind. All right, they don't have the variation of the two Indians but they do have the armoury to trouble anyone on a turning pitch (which I really hope we see).
I noticed that the guy didn't even mentioned Arshad Khan's name, mind you Mushtaq Mohad happen to be one the the best Pakistan captain. And its not just Mushtaq, other Pakistani ex-cricketers including Miandad thinks that their spinners will be crucified on Indian tour."to win Test matches, you need to take 20 wickets and I don't see any bowler capable of running through the innings. Danish Kaneria has been bowling well recently but he needs support. Besides, figures of five for 140 will not win you Tests. You need to have figures of five for 50 to win you a Test. And how regularly can Danish do this?"
Funny you say that considering in other thread (after the Pak team was announced) you said that Pakistan would lose all the 3 test matches to Indiaimranrabb said:Funny you say that considering pakistan beat india four times in a row

I think that series was a great escape for Pakistan. Pakistan managed to draw the series thnaks to poor and negative captaincy by Saurav Ganguly.Had India been playing under a different leader and with the right attitude then there is no way that Pakistan would have ended up drewing the series with a more talented and accomplished side.Shoaib said:This the funniest thread ever on CW forum.Its full of jokes really.Almost everyone who posted his predictions on this thread seems to be a professional joker,especially those who said "3-0".
Pakistan played well its better to acknowledge that than giving excuses for possible inner weaknesses in the squad.vandemataram said:I think that series was a great escape for Pakistan.

honestbharani said:I don't think Rao and Rana will get as much assistance from the Indian wickets.... esp. since the series is happening in peak summer. Unlike in September/October, when the morning session always gave something for the bowlers, in feb/march/april, there will be nil assistance for the seamers. That is one of the reasons for McGrath and Gillespie tasting more success in this tour than the last one. Also remember how Tuffey created lots of problems for the Indians at Mohali in 2003 sep/oct. But the same will definitely not happen in feb/March. Pakistan should either have express pace or class spin and that is why I think Akhtar and Kaneria will be crucial to their success.
Its interresting that how "india's most successful captain" did poor captaincy against pakistan.Its better u acknowlege it rather than living in the world of dreams that Pakistan has become a better side than India since Bob Woolmer has joined us as coach.U've lost 8 out of last 10 ODIs against Pakistan & thats enough to prove that we r now better than u.If Akhtar was in the team,we would've easily won the test series also.vandemataram said:I think that series was a great escape for Pakistan.

In cricket its not always the case of the better team winning the match, the team that plays better cricket and comes up with good preparation can outgun the stronger opponent.That is what happened in recently concluded Ashes series and the last test match between India and Pakistan.
wrong.Only those teams can play better cricket who have better talent & hence a better side.Coaching & prepration factor also counts to some extent.England won the ashes because they now have better team than Australia who have only oldies left in their side.England is now one of the best sides of the world.Realize the facts & stop living in your imaginary world.I dont claim that we r the best side (which we aren't),but we r now better than India atleast.thats what about which i'm 100% sure.vandemataram said:In cricket its not always the case of the better team winning the match, the team that plays better cricket and comes up with good preparation can outgun the stronger opponent.That is what happened in recently concluded Ashes series and the last test match between India and Pakistan.

Without Akhtar Pak attack is impotent, they might get 20 Indian wkts, but not in one match, probably in 2 or even 3!
