Neotheone

Figuring stuff out
Adept
Who do u think will have the pride of walking away with the trophy ? dravid,or inzamam ?

edit: mods plz add appropriate options (ind/pak/draw) and , the "values" .......i sort of "messed up"
 
Err...I am sorry its my mistake for not putting the bet on time....as i was a bit busy with other stuff.
But, now its too late for a bet to be put up for the same.

Look out for the next series of bets;)
 
This is so stoooopid.

Anyone with a bit of brains will see that this series is a SHAM. They prepare horrible wickets for the first 2 matches and then prepare a bowling pitch for the 3rd.

Am not saying that it is completely Pakistan's fault. but in a series, both teams have bad days. Here Ind had only one bad day(today) and that means they are going to lose the match.

Would you call a one match "series" a proper series?? Of course not.

but of course, the records will always say that Pakistan won the series. It has been very unsporting by Pakistan. No test series should be played like this. ICC should look into the pitch preparation themselves to prevent these sort of boring series in the future

EDIT: Sorry XT....guess I got a bit emotional.
 
india losing again...lol :eek:hyeah: ..scousers..cricket sucks anyways

atlast temporary relief from Tendulkar's ads and Newspaper columns on Dhoni's hair and $hit like that cos I aint sure if India will be able to win any one day match in the ODI series against pak and then when we play against Kenya, we'll have to adjust again wid tendulkar's advertisements and highlights of how Dhoni dried his hair and $hit like dat...

DC.
 
We lost!!! We lost!!!

Finally, the Indian team back in form. I was worried after the first two matches. I was afraid they might be getting into the dangerous habit of holding their own. But now they are back where they belong - in the dumps.
 
OBITUARY :
newly found rejuvenation spirit of indian cricket was brutally murdered by the pakistan cricket team.

the spirit was a tiny thing in a country of a billion people believing in participation is the only thing in sports.

the spirit left behind a highly paid, highly frustrated ausie and a bunch of famous, rich brats who believe to encash everything they get while in limelight like bollywoood heroines.
 
lol nikhil...y blame pakistan for the pitch...dint they bat on the same pitch?? u say one bad day and tats tday? dint they allow pakistan to score 600 runs on the same pitch??

believe it or not but u've to face it...this indian team is nothing extraordinary. the batting line-up is no genius. its just like any other team and any other batting line up. they win some and they lose some...its just a game after all ;)
 
@QF --- I said in my post. I aM NOT blaming only Pak. It is just that it is stupid if a whole series is decided by a team's 2 bad days.

Blaming the pitch is absolutely unnecessary. The pitch was not entirely flat, but it wasn't so unfriendly to the batsmen that they coiuldn't even score a decent 300+ runs in both innings.

The series wasn't decided because of '2 bad days'. Pakistan won for the simple reason that they played better than India... even Greg Chappell admitted to that. As Boycott said at the end of yesterday's game, if India had played till noon on the fifth day and put up at least a 400+ score, then they could have said that they tried their bit and put in their best but 600 was just too much. But they didn't do that. They lost by a huge 341 runs! That's very poor cricket.

Why blame the pitch? In the second innings, Sehwag got out because his feet were planted to the ground - there was absolutely no foot work (nothing unusual for Sehwag). Dravid got out because he forgot the golden rule - there ought to be no gap between the bat and the pad when you defend the ball. Ganguly got out because he lost concentration after tea. Tendulkar - tried playing the ball on back-foot when he should have played it on front-foot. And Yuvraj Singh was dropped twice before he scored his century... the first drop, when he was at 77, was a lollypop. If he hadn't been dropped, India would have lost by an even larger margin. So thanks to Mr. Faisal Iqbal for saving India some more embarrassment.

Indian bowling was very poor. India no longer has a fast bowler! Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan both bowl in the 120kms/h range now. :-\ And more over, Pakistan batted very well. All the first seven batsmen in their line-up scored at least a half century in the second innings. That's amazing, to say the very least. And it goes to show that either Pakistan batted exceptionally well, or India's bowlers put up a very bad bowling attack, or that it was a mix of both.

I was very impressed by Abdul Razzaq's bowling. Yuvraj had a very tough time playing him after he'd reached his half-century. His batting too is nothing short of impressive. He can hit hard or slow as the situation demands. He's your perfect all-rounder.

I think Dhoni should be kept for ODI games and Dinesh Karthik should be played in test games. That would do the Indian cricket team a whole world of good.

The whole series was good. If the the pitches on the first two games weren't so flat, perhaps we may have had more fun watching the teams play, but anyway, at least the third game turned out to be quite good. The upcoming ODI series should be good too. Let's see what happens there. :)
