Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Pakistani batsmen cant bat Indian bowlers cant bowl. Pakistani bowlers inevitably save Pakistan on a lot of occasions, Indian batsmen do the same but mostly in India. This will be their big test. We flay our batsmen a lot for unable to score 200 when chasing. Here the best batting line up did the same. Maybe we are too harsh on our batsmen because they never get to bat on phatta wickets at home like the Indians.

Headline on Cricinfo.. De kock leads assault on india. In other news, Pakistan has given him honorary citizenship. Welcome to the club.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Guess who is back
Indian Trundlers and the No 1 ODI team in the WORLD!
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Cricinfo:
India conceded 135 runs in their last ten overs of the match, which is the most they have conceded in the last ten in ODIs since 2000. Including this match, India have conceded 100 or more runs in the last 60 balls, 19 times- the second-highest after New Zealand, who have done so on 21 occasions. India ended up conceding exactly 100 runs in the last six overs, only the fifth time a team has conceded 100 or more in ODIs during those overs since 2000.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
/\ That shows that Pakistan bowling attack is still formidable around the world (should we compare it)…whether at times we curse or praise it…
PS: What we need is to improve our fielding and batting skills…we can hope for a competitive squad in most of the situations… 
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
match was between india and SA. desperate conclusions are being drawn about pakistani team. 
pakistani team is pretty good talent-wise, but is plagued by the same issues that plague pakistani society. no leadership. blame game. religiosity. indians cant bowl but can still stick together and make a game out of it more often than not.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Thats because they play at home most of the time on phatta wickets, outside they even lose to BD as they did in the Asia cup. Accept the weaknesses like Pakistanis do here about their batting line up.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
what is a phatta wicket? one which pakistanis can't bowl on? stop complaining about conditions and play the game to win.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Ouch India 
phatta wicket is one where any Indian trundler can make a century or two in ODI
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
I am surprised that you’re surprised. Pakistan have always had a formidable bowling attack. The bowlers might have an off day here and there but generally speaking Pak lose 80% of the matches because of the batting.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
chalo jii...India haar gayaa...maiN chalaa sone...lol. ab kabhii nahiiN jaaguuNgaa saarii raatr match ke liye...Allah Haafiz :)
Told you India's bowling is weak outside sub-continent. Batsmen bail them out 80-90% of the time.
Infact they have conceded 300+ runs in EACH of the last SIX completed ODI games against quality teams (1 v RSA and 5 v Aus). Even in the match that was abandoned, Australia made 295!
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
trundler = medium pacer, not batsman. captain pai, tussi reyn de.. kabaddi wabbadi khel lein.. shabaash bruahh
and if india’s ordinary bastmen can play on “phatta” wickets, what is the problem for the amazing pakistani batsmen? y bois no play the vell?
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
In case of Indians trundler applies to both bowler and batsmen 
nobody claimed Pakistan batsmen as “amazing” unless now they seem like that to Indians
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Enjoy

You might not have noticed but pak just won a series there. The only one complaining and whining here is you, we have accepted weaknesses in our team, you are the one ignoring the ones in your team. When was the last time the great Indian bowling conceded less than 300 in an ODI.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
PS: Bilawal and Anwar, the two debutants, scored 82 runs

Phatta wicket is the one in which Pakistani bowlers screwed Indian batting while just chasing something above 200 LOL
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
But did they score 48?
No, my bad, you win.
Re: India Vs SA ODI Series
Below pic & words telling the whole story but I never thought that the Indians heavy weight batsmen ll perform like school boys against SA pace attack.
Pace, bounce and swing give India a rude awakening as they lose first ODI by 141 runs
Welcome to South Africa: Pace, bounce and swing give India a rude awakening
It was the first real bouncer of the day. And it was quick and nasty. Unlike the few that had cruised over the South African batsmen’s heads, hardly threatening them. This was at breakneck speed and climbing towards Shikhar Dhawan’s throat, fast and menacingly. The Delhi left-hander did to his credit attempt a pull-shot. A meek one it might have been. The result: top-edged and looping into wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock’s gloves.
You could almost have imagined the entire Indian dressing-room go ‘Nooo’ in unison. Not just because their hopeful pursuit of 359 had been rendered an early shock with the loss of their attacking opener. But more so because the dismissal had set off a chorus of ‘I told you so’ around the cricketing world, probably even back home in India. And as India were all out for 217, losing the first ODI by 141 runs, the old story about India’s woes on lively tracks abroad was unfolding once again.
Pace, bounce, seam, Steyn and Morkel after all have been the buzzwords ever since the Mahendra Singh Dhoni & Co left for these shores three days back. And with just one well-directed short-pitched delivery, Morkel had set the tone in many ways for the tour.
Dale Steyn was not bowling bouncers at the other end, however. The South African pace ace instead was rendering Rohit Sharma a reality check. By the end of Steyn’s second over, Rohit had left six balls alone while the other six had seamed past his outside-edge. The bat and ball were having a clear tiff. The right-hander, who had arrived here in the pinkest form imaginable, was in the middle of a strenuous inquisition, one for which he seemed to have no response.
Different ball game
Despite not being filled to the brim, the Bullring was living up to its reputation. The cauldron was now starting to feel a lot more daunting, especially for Rohit. All of a sudden, ODI cricket seemed a lot more different. You couldn’t just plonk your front foot and smash the delivery, whatever its length, anywhere you pleased. The ball was playing tricks it wasn’t supposed to, or ones that the Indian batsmanhadn’t witnessed in a long while.
