I missed yesterday's game :( Does anyone know if I can watch it somewhere? Dish Network is not offering any replays :(
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
Just woke up and saw the score.
This match now has only ONE possible outcome - DRAW.
India win series 1-0.

^ Kiss ko tassali de rahe ho?? :D
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
I think all three results are possible only If india goes for a chase . Otherwise draw is more probable.
Sehwag has reputation of scoring in first innings only, he gets out cheaply in second innings. But then laxman has reputation of scoring in the last game of the series(and that makes it hard for the management to sit him out in next series).
I see an intresting finish, we will pretty much have an idea of the result after the first session.
Good cricket altogether.Good show by both the teams.
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
What a fanstastic test match this one’s been… win, lose or draw – the team has demonstrated professionalism, resilience and commitment… we have a reinvigorated Younis who has shimmered and shone brilliantly under the responsibility delegated to him. InshaAllah he’ll continue with his form and although he may be more suited to Test cricket, we direly needed someone less belligerent and more balanced to support Inzi and Kamal.
Alhamdullilah, no gross grievances with the team this time around. :k:

Allah swt izzat rahkey aur hum yeh match jeet jaaein ameen sum ameen

Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
I cant be that sure because we are playing with 10 players and 2nd Inning record of Sehwag and Sachin sucks. Its only Dravid and Laxman I can depend on. So If wickets start falling anything can happen. Only good thing for us is that wicket is still not very bad but when balls is 50-60 overs it can be dangerous. It still lives them almost 40 overs to trouble Indian batsmen. It will be very crucial if we dont loose more than 1 wicket till lunch.
I would say
Draw 70%
Indian loss 25%
Indian win 5% ( had to throw that in .. 
)
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
Did Afridi escaped the fastest 50 in the history of test cricket? And How?
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
It's easy to say that Pakistan could have scored more runs but the fact of the matter is that it wasn't so easy out there for the Pakistani batsmen. After the mauling of Indian pacers for the first five overs, they settled in to bowl outside the leg stump. Even Afridi wasn't at ease and got out while trying. His first 44 runs had come out of just 18 deliveries and he looked well set to break Kallis' world record but after Kumble and Tendulkar started bowling, it took him 8 more deliveries to cross the 50 mark.
Razzaq would have done absolutely nothing against that line. Inzamam was connecting one out of three or four balls at that line.
That's the difference between test match and an ODI. The bowling side is not tied down by artificial restrictions. And that's why doing well in test matches means so much more than doing that in ODIs.
So hats off to the four Pakistani batsmen for an amazing batting display on a pitch that was taking quite a viscious turn, and against a negative line and also against a field placing where on many occassions there were four fielders on the boundary just on the leg side.
Hopefully, it will be an interesting game tomorrow. Good luck to Pakistan

Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
The Will of Pakistan coach, captain, bowlers and fielders will play a major role to win this match even before tea is possible…a sharp very good line and length from our bowlers…and super sharp field placements and alertness of the fielders and captain…á la carte guidance of coach…victory can be guaranteed…voila :k:
PS: Unlike the Ist innings, Afridi should be given more bowling provided he is economical and productive… 
PS2: 
Afridi Zindabad!
PS3: If I were the coach, I would have forbidden the net training…kind of producing more Afridis…in case 1 fails…so hit freely 4s, 6s and anything else in a ferocious mode…
Re: 3rd Test - Thu 24 - Mon 28: March 05 Pakistan Vs India
Only if you had followed through the game, you would have known that it’s not Tindu this time, it’s time to make a suhaag raat of Sehwaag:o
