Looking at the fixture it looks like Indians are ready for thrashing in Pak.I think good showing in test matches in AUS has gone into Indian's head. Just looks what happened to Indians after 1st feb...... Indians have lost 3 ODIs against AUS in a most pathetic way.None of bastmen scored. Then team came to India.Some of them are busy getting married,some is busy getting engaged and others are busy shooting for ads.None of main players played in Ranji or Duleep Trophy.
Now thye will assemble on 8th march and head to Pakistan. I could understand that team was very tired and guys shouldnot play Ranji in India but atleast they should have had a one week camp and couple of practice matches in pakistan.I can only see one ODI practice match on 10th March and that is it. No 3 day practice match.
Where as Pakistani team is going through very good camp. I think it is very unprofessional appraoach by Indians and they will pay for it.

Para jee, itna mayoos na ho. :)
i hope so, not that i m a fan of afridi, but it will be good to c this poor guy play some matches after giving up lots of money in SA
Dignified silence my ass. Miandad just canned your team with his usual verbal jabs and you want to keep a “dignified silence”? Admit it, he’s good at it. You may like to call it “dignified silence” but I suspect a large majority here would take it as an assault that left you mind-numbingly embarassingly dumb.

Miandad is just a loud mouth Jahil.
He may be a great player but he was never a respected individual in cricketing world.
Now talking about what he said that Indian didnt win anything in AUS. Well Indian did win a test match against Aussies in Australia.It sounds pathetic coming from a person whose teams combined total in2 inning was less than 120 in a test match on batting track of Australia. He needs to have some life.
Funny how Miandad can hit the Indian nerve so precisely, so regularly. From the historical Sharjah six to his verbal assaults, he can turn up the heat just like that. 
:biggthumb
Edit: Who cares if he’s not respected worldwide (a statement I dont necessarily agree with anyway) as long as he wins us the matches, and keeps agonising the Indians, he’s more than good enough.
Belive me Indian players have seen more than this .No one does it better than Aussies. So dont live in fool’s paradise. Its always been paki style of bragging before the big games.(Hint..Hint: how Shoib was gonna tear apart Indian in worldcup 
).
Thank God India players and coaches have been to schools and colleges and they know when to speak.
Jumped the gun there in your haste, didn’t you. Read it again:
"If I remember correctly, they only drew the Test series in Australia and were thrashed in the finals. It isn’t as if they won anything there’’
Keep fuming. That was a lame come back.
Excellent comments from Javed Miandad especially when i don't think Inzi has the grapefruits to challenge anyone.
I wonder what lineup Pakistan will put on the field. I hope Shahid Afridi is in the lineup and i hope Younis Khan is also. I sure hope Saleem Elahi doesn't find his way on to the crease.
What do you guys think of Imran Farhat. I think he's a Shahid Afridi type player but not as valuable to the team as Afridi is.
Yes he forgot to mention Indian won a test match in Australia where as his team wasd thrashed 3-0 last years and in one match 20 wicket fall for less than 120.

Its getting lamer. Who cares if your players went to colleges? They went to college, kept quite and still lost more matches to Pakistan than we did to them. What does it prove? Nothing, cuz its irrelevant. Besides, we're talking Miandad. Why bring in Shoaib?
Abt your Aussie comment: Sure thing pal. Indian team might be used to getting verbally raped by the oppostion, and Miandad is just rubbing salt on the wounds opened by Aussies. Why so pissed? You should've gotten used to it by now.
One who laughs last , laughs well.
And whenever Pakis laughed first we know we had the last laugh.Whether it was bragging by amir sohail in 1996 WC or Shoib in last WC.

But you guys never get to laugh. Your college educated cricketers kept mum when the Aussies were going all out on and off the field, and then you decide to keep a dignified silence when the series is over. Where is the laugh? Now javed Miandad comes out with his assault and your boys want to wait for the right time. meh. I see a cycle here I'd hate to be a part of.

We will see.
Well, if you go by that, then a cursory look at the record books shows Pakistan got to laugh and smile a heck of a lot more than the college educated indians. :biggthumb
Yep. We will see Pakistan win as we have a majority of the time for over 50 years.

India? bragging about the cricketing laurals? Boy, you dont have much to brag about in the first place. Not only do you have a poorer winning ratio than Pakistan but you've also won fewer and lost more in absolute terms too. It gets worse in ODIs where you have played fewer matches and still lost more than Pak. Go have a look at the records before you make a statement like that.
But as much as i would like to rub it in, its still off-topic. Lets concentrate on the masterful stroke played by Miandad. i hope there's even more verbal bullying before the series. :biggthumb
Indians cannot carry the burden of thier thick attitudes,they will lose big time as always.
Paki’s on the other hand should not get carried away with abuse and distractions… remember Mongia who use to shout at the top of his voice when ever there was single to be taken to distract Paki batsmen.
