Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

0.5 Balaji to Butt, FOUR!!, outside off, driven to sweeper cover, very wristy shot

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Another 4 by Butt.

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

10 runs so far 0.5 overs

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Beautiful wristy shot by Salman Butt. So far the pitch isn't doing anything at all. Very flat.

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

10 runs in one over

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

awrite! kick the butt and get the wicket!

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

I said that after reading Inzi’s interview but looks like he changed his mind after Younis’ illness.

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Pak 10-0 in 1 over. :alhamd: I hope they don’t get carried away.

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Its one of those times when I feel a few losses would help India in the long run.

The team needs some serious re-structuring.
Gangu obviously needs to go, so we start playing with 11 players.
The middle order is also in need for some re-look.
And we need some hard hitting all-rounders (on the lines of Razzaq) for one-day matches.

This team’s composition for this match leaves me wondering - what were the selectors thinking.

I am not sure why Pathan was dropped in favor of Nehra ( Pathan is an accomplished batsman who can hit some big ones). His presence today would have certainly helped.
Has Dravid refused to keep wickets? If yes, that is unfortunate because we are already one batsman short(thanks to Gangu).
And why was Kumble dropped for the series in favor of Murli Karthik.
Bowlers like Karthik will be taken to the cleaners by tulley-baajs like Afridi/Razzaq or even Inzy.

why does the Paki fan's placard read "Feel sorry for Ganguly"?

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Zaheer bowling now

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

was Younis in contention for opening slot?

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

I for obvious reasons don’t want him to go :smiley:

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

well, if there are no wickets in the 1st 4 overs I'm going to sleep

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Pak 11-0 in 2 overs

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Good over from Zaheer..only one run

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Thats fine, but shouldn’t be saying “feel sorry for Ganguly”… it should be "keep it up Ganguly! " :slight_smile:

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Come on man. Have faith and enjoy the beating with us :slight_smile:

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

i’ll try but i’m sleepy…and hungry

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)

Exactly..We should keep reminding the selectors that Ganguly is just going through a rough patch
