Shahid Afridi dismisses fears over playing in India

[Clarke]

I'm not talking about travelling pak fans. The locals Pak supporters are more than enough because usually they're in the majority everywhere we play. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are obvious examples. Heck at times they cheer for Pakistan over their own team:cantstop: I vividly remember Jamshedpur was full of Pakistan flags on our tour of 98-99.I couldn't believe we were playing in India

lol? They supported NZ in the NZ-Pak game and you're saying they cheer for Pak team over their own team :hmmmm2:

No you didn't.

We won two tests on that tour and lost one.Surely thats simple enough test championship or not.

Pakis are so deluded that their opinion of themselves, their country's image around the world, and their cricketer's ability/integrity, etc. are totally opposite to what the rest of the world opines of them.

No its simple enough that the Test series was drawn 1-1 and then the Asian Test championship was separate, played between India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Unsurprisingly you would like to convince yourself otherwise.

We won that test why would I need to convince myself.

How does it make sense to take results from two separate things together and then say you "beat India 2-1"? Last year SA lost the ODI series 2-1 to us. Can they add their win in the World Cup, which is a separate thing and say they actually drew with India? You drew with us in the Test series and then beat us in the Test championship. They are separate things.

Look at the context please.We are talking about playing in India and how we have done there.Again them three tests were played back to back in the same country between the same sides. As I have said this Indian side is miles better then Pak(rankings dont lie) but given our record in Ind and one of nature off the game anything can happen.

Fair enough, not disagreeing with the general point

Fair enough' date=' not disagreeing with the general point[/quote'] I personally dont want to play Ind in QF.Would like them to meet in semi or final itself.
