This is what someone wrote me.
"Lessons of last series are the follwing
a)Spinners who are most successful are ones who do not turn the ball (Kumble).
b)Fast bowlers who are successful do not ball fast, maybe slightly faster than spinners(Prasad)
c)Most successful openers are the ones who has no clue on batting technique (Afridi)"

hehehehe....good one!
couldn't put it in any better words!
One thing you left out and that is the Umpires, you can never win if you are playing against them!
OK, but for Indian umpires Pak would have won it 2-0. Pakistan needs more patriots like you.
Moin produced a fighting innings. A pathan afterall. Vegetarian Srinath ate up half the Paki batting.
SRT is bloody lucky. Gets wickets on stupid balls. Got Moin on a stupid outside off stump ball. His balling 192 balls 121 runs for 8 wickets (15.1 Avg.) in this season is rather impressive for a bowler of that (bad) quality.
Pak has to get breakthrough tomorrow in first hour.
PS People claim that Shoaib is very good. Pak can hope that he does not waste the almost new ball tomorrow (It was replaced after 9 overs.) Tomorrow morning is the crucial stuff.
