Well Done Pakistan

[ravishingravi]

Yes you lost but you fought. The 2nd test could have gone either way and you had your moments. In spite of the gulf between the sides, you showed great spirit. Not many sides can compete with SA at the moment, esp. in SA. India certainly can't

[Gambit]

South Africa were stretched but that's it and that was because Kallis was given out when not and Morkel was injured in the 2nd innings. Excuses like 'Great spirit' and moral victories are for teams and fans looking for something to make the loss seem less painful. Pakistan, as expected, have been thrashed yet again in an away series. They have won just 1 (against NZ) of their last 11 series away from home against the top 8 teams.

[NareshK]

It was a flat sub continent type track and their batsmen mostly failed despite the fact that there was little help for seam bowlers and also Morkel being injured for 2nd innings. Their bowling also looked toothless other than Chuckmal getting wickets because there was turn.

[Sean Bradley]

There was nothing appluadable about this defeat...they have a mediocre batting line up...even worse than NZ and Bangladesh, an ageing captain, and a bowling line up that would make our trundlers look legends.

[philcric]

You guys are kidding, right ? Going into the 4th day, Pak had a 50% chance of winning the test. How many times did that happen when we were walloped 0-8 in Eng and Aus? We pretty much were out of the game in 2 days in most of those matches. Not liking Pak forummers or Pak team is one thing, but totally discrediting a good performance by an underdog team against in-arguably the best team in the world on their own turf reeks of bias, immaturity and total lack of credibility. I absolutely enjoyed the test, good fightback from both the teams when batting, good seam bowling, and Ajmal. 50-75 more runs by Pak in the 2nd innings,, the test would probably have ended as a classic.

[kubrickian]

^^ The test seemed like a good contest for a while but only because the track was not a typical SA pitch. Only Ajmal did the damage among Pak bowlers. Among their batting, there were a couple of good partnerships but they also lost 33/4 in 1st innings and 6 wickets for 22 runs in 2nd innings with an old ball and even with Morkel not bowling. So what's there to applaud ?

[SLICKR392]

we are still better than india' date='and yes another 4-0 await,[/quote'] Sure :giggle: Even Loins managed to draw series.

[shuraim]

Last time India played there it was 1-1.

forget past

[SLICKR392]

forget past

Why? Just because you failed and we succeeded?

[JaFanatic]

forget past

yes will it be a 3-0 or 2-0 :hmmm:

[Asim]

Excluding Abdul Rehman on this track was one huuge mistake... Ajmal was only required one bowler to stop leaking runs from other end...

Tanvir Ahmed's selection still doesn't make any sense. :facepalm:

[panther]

How can you conclude this team would not win ? Writing the team off like that reeks of loser mentality. Last time India went there, they drew 1-1. That's what you go by and not hypothetical scenarios.
