He is from Lahore dude. So Lahori logic? :dontknow:

:hysterical:

[SLICKR392]

Umar Gul has been in horrible form - perfect time for Sehwag to take advantage. I am not sure if he will face Gul though!

Why? I don't see Hafeez giving the same number of overs to the spinners against us.

[Lord]

Why? I don't see Hafeez giving the same number of overs to the spinners against us.

yeah but Gul might not come straightaway till Sehwag is there.maybe he will open with Arafat n Ajmal

Sehwag may not last till 16-18 overs. :((

Shastri also talked up the impact Sehwag could have on the Pakistan match. "You just have to look at Sehwag's record against Pakistan - it's Bradman-like when you look at his average against them. So Sehwag will have the psychological edge when he gets out there plus the fact that he's been asked to sit out, and I think rightly so, in the last game against Australia, he'll be fired up." Sehwag averages 91.14 against Pakistan in Tests, but only 35.72 against them in ODIs, which is almost exactly the same as his career average. He has played only one T20I against them.

[Lord]

my guess is Sehwag will play n get out in first over:agree:

Pakistan vs India WT20 2012 Preview - Pakistani Perspective Pakistan has successfully maintained their 100% winning record against South Africa in Twenty20 world competitions. It was an excellent game of Twenty20 cricket which went right down to the wire, but it was the Umars who took Pakistan back in the game and kept their cool to ensure they got close enough and finished it off. Pakistan are only side who are remaining in the competition to win all 3 matches in a full 20/20. The 2009 winners are on the brink of reaching another semi-final. The seam bowling and fielding are the areas of concern, but the top order batting form and spinners is an area where they are excelling. Pakistan's Key Players Nazir - On a flat track against a bowling attack which is hardly threatening, Nazir will hurt you with his fearless hitting if you donÃÕ remove him early. In all matches up to now has fired and got Pakistan off to a flyer for the 1st wicket. His opening combination with Hafeez has been working well with them both respecting each otherÃÔ approaches in the first 6 overs with their contrasting styles. Nazir goes hard up front and likes to throw the bat around whereas Hafeez calmly starts his innings. He was runnning away with the show against them during the final in 2007, scoring 33 from 14 balls before a run out saw the back of him. Jamshed - Jamshed scored a century against India at Dhaka during the Asia Cup match on Sunday 18th March this year in an opening stand of over 200 with Mohammad Hafeez. Jamshed has been in terrific touch for Pakistan over the last month or so. For me, what stands out is he doesnÃÕ look to over-hit the ball and relies on good balance and good timing to earn value for his shots. He surely got a bit of an earful from coach Whatmore after an irresponsible second ball swipe in the previous match against South Africa so we can expect him to come out with a determined frame of mind. Hafeez - The captain of the side has delivered in all matches so far, let it be with bat or ball. In hindsight appointing him captain of this side in this format has turned out to be a good move, although it was a risky one at the time. Hafeez has bowled exceedingly economically against India during the semi-final in Mohali and Asia Cup match in Dhaka, both times completing his 10 over quota. He also batted well in both games, looking in good touch, although played a daft shot in the world cup semi-final to throw his wicket away against Munaf Patel when he was going along so well. Ajmal - The number 1 ranked bowler in this format is yet to play India in this format of the game. Ajmal was one of the better bowlers on show during the warm up match. In ODIs Ajmal has made the Indians look ordinary with 9 wickets in 5 matches. Pakistan will need a strong showing from their best player. So far Ajmal has taken 5 wickets in the competition for the first 3 games including a 4 wicket haul against New Zealand in PakistanÃÔ opening fixture of the comp. Prediction The chasing side will win in a high scoring game. India have to win to stay in the competition whereas Pakistan can play with less pressure as this is not necessarily a must win game for them. This should help Pakistan and they have a very good chance to win this important match and the biggest of the tournament so far.

Cannot believe team made up of players like Arafat, nazeer and afridi is fav to win against us. How the hell did we slip so bad?

[Shunya]

only one of sehwag or gauti should play... i wanted gauti to be dropped instead of sehwag...but i guess sehwag is not completely fit which gives gauti the go ahead...

How many of Dhoni and Dhoni should play?

[The Realist]

The Fletchoni Axis of Defeat They must be one of the worst captain and coach combos in history - its been almost continous failure since they have come together. No tactics. No strategy. No motivation. No hunger. No forward planning. No responsibility. No interest. In any other line of sport they would have been sacked for such awfulness yet they are still here. When will they go so that Ind cricket can move forward?

[Shunya]

How many of Dhoni and Dhoni should play?

u cant see the sight of him right? how about boycotting till we get Dhoni fired

[The Outsider]

[The Outsider]
