Predator_05 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Great stuff. The seamers bowled in the right areas, gave very little away. The spinners were almost perfect. Fielding was sh*te, but India still restricted them to a small[ish] total, which goes out to show how good this bowling performance really was. If only Maanguly hadn't dropped Yoosef, India would have knocked them over for under 200. Powar would have been a really tough proposition on this wicket, but his Mumbai comrade Tendulkar wasn't too shabby - that stumping of Afridi was a really smart, premeditated dismissal. Why did Pakistan send Afridi ahead of Malik ? Is Malik a p*ssy like Inzamam ? Afridi did his bit, but only because he got lucky. He could have gone in that first over itself, and even though he brought up the run rate, Pakistan missed his brainless slogging at the death. Big miscalculation by their think-tank. Their spinners better be spot on otherwise they are gonna lose big time Link to comment
Cricketics Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 even i thought malik should have come up.. there were alwayz a chance for afridi to get out early after scoring some big shots.... malik on the other end can score and keep the strike rate up and rotate strike too.. but it didn't make much of a difference today.. they sucked @ batting today..

kablooee87 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 A score of 240 is better than Pakistan batted today and it's higher than that Indian bowling deserved. Link to comment
Bumper Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dont know whats with Pakistani captains. They all bat at the top order prior to being captain. After taking over captaincy, hide behind their tailenders. If Pakistan is serious about winning the series, Malik must open with Butt. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Afridi is a jackass. The moment he walked in, he hit two retarded shots up into the air - both landing in no man's land. Malik could have added the same # of runs at the same pace, and unlike Afridi; he would have stuck around instead of trying to charge at a wide ball. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 A score of 240 is better than Pakistan batted today and it's higher than that Indian bowling deserved. Indian fielding filled in the gap. Link to comment
Ram Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 We win this easy.... just negotiate the first 10 overs and match over. Link to comment
fineleg Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Did you folks listen to Murali Kartik talk at the end of the Pak Innings? He mentioned that 210 would have been a score we needed to have restricted them too, but we gave away 10+ Run Rate last many overs. Murali Kartik said 30 runs more than what we should have kept them. I like what he said, and I agree too. Pathetic fielding, and last few overs some poor deliveries. Link to comment

Why cant you guy understand that Afridi's game is to HIT HIT AND HIT. Odds are very very high of him batting for atleast 15 overs in a game. He's role is to hit 4's and 6's, which he tried to do today, so stop crushing him under ur boots Link to comment
