10 runs short of they could have get. but amazing performance nonetheless. Lets hope dew does not become a major factor as pitch is slow and will assist Afridi and Ajmal
Malik :Saulte: Best innings he has played.
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
What a waste of the last 5 overs and the power play by Pakistan...
Target: 303
ditto… upto the bowlers now but fielding also needs to be top notch today.
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Nehra ne khush kar diya :k:
considering we were around 100 at halfway stage, this is an amazing score. so lets not fear the worse and back our team cause for once batsmen have delivered.
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
India can win this match :)
you will see everything… let Indian players come to bat first 
ditto... upto the bowlers now but fielding also needs to be top notch today.
Fielding has never been Pak's strength (like India). Will be an interesting game today...
303 is the target for India
Pakistan made a mess of the last 3-4 overs, probably 10-15 runs short of what they should have got. Hence the value of having someone like Razzaq in the late overs. Indian bowlers did well to restrict the score to 302.
Infact they lost 6 wickets for 31 runs towards the end.
This is a good batting surface and India are very much in the game IMO
Early wickets as always will be the key
not can India will WINNNNN 
India can win this match :)
Aapke moonh mein ghee shakkar :)
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Afridi and Saeed should be brought early in the attack. Umer Gul and Rana both can reverse swing unlike Indian bowlers.
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Whatever the outcome, out batting was the weak link. But they delivered today. Let's hope our bowlers can concentrate and get the job done.
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
not bad not bad… props to malik and yusuf though.. and 
@ afridi 
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Pakistan should attack wid Gul and Aamir 
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
*This is 1st big innings from Malik after he lost his captaincy ..... but it came at the biggest match
*
I am a die hard pakistani fan myself, but we (pakistani fans) have to face the reality. India's strength is in batting with greats like Dravid and Tendulkar. Anyway, 300+ is a good score and I very much like pakistan to win, but it is not over until it is actually over.
It will be interesting to see the Pakistani strength (i.e bowling) vs Indian strength (i.e. batting)...
Fielding will make a huge difference.....
Let's see what happens .....
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Very good performance by Yousuf and Malik. They could have got to 315-320 had Afridi been a bit careful but I'll take what we have. Inshallah our bowling will come up to mark too !
Re: Champions Trophy - India V Pak - Sep. 26, 09
Tendulkar is not a match winner :@:
