That was NOT OUT upon seeing the replays. Seemed like drifting towards outside off.

if salman would be given not out for a fair decision, I believe he was not able to let Pakistan win... He is not a big hitter of the ball, which was required at the moment...

You must be thankful to Indian umpire so that we can point out the finger upon bad umpiring against our loss :D

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

Yuvraj was the key player today, involved in decisive situations in favour of India. I think the decision is supportive.

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

That is why I have always maintained afridi is a useless player full of negative value (fo Pakistan). For the opposite team, in this case India, he is very good because 99% of the time he ensures that we win.

Check this out

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

Correct.

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

You must be kiddin.

Afridi is a tremendous value as an ODI player.

Afridi is a victim of his own batting talents. He builds up huge expectation from his fans by playing some super innings now and then. Everytime he comes out , the fans expect him to set the stands on fire...when that does not happen, he becomes an obvious target for criticism. If only the fans treated Afridi as a bowler who is a "lottery" as a batsman, things would be much simpler.

He is still much more valuable than a plain bowler. For example, would you rather choose "Murli Kartik" - a plain bowler OR Afridi who is probably as good an ODI bowler as Kartik and capable of great hitting as a batsman as well.

Afridi's ODI value can in no way be discounted.

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

Exactly. I remember a number of the friends here advising "don't whine....game mae ye sub hota hai" even when Pakistan just managed to sneak through last one by a cat's whisker. Now when they're beaten by a large margin somehow the umpiring decision is what decided things! come one guys!

Excellent job India but I will say this. Our bowling has to improve a lot particularly getting one or two killer bowlers. Even a great spinner will do. By great spinner what I mean is someone who can attack with deadly precision but when needed can contain and restrict scoring to a crawl.

But MOST importantly our fielding has to become consistent and better.

JAI BHARATH!

Re: 3rd ODI: Pakistan Vs India on 11 Nov 2007 @ Kanpur

Yes afridi is of great value precisely for the reasons you state...to the team playing against Pakistan.

I don't know Murli Karthik but whenever my team is playing against Pakistan I will chose Afridi for Pakistan every time and someone with consistency for my team.
