Re: not surprising but very interesting
In the greatest rivalries in sport there are very few that compare with India vs Pakistan
I would say the only other possibilities are a handfull of soccer rivalries. MAybe Celtic/Rangers,
Brazil/Argentina, Germany/England that kind of thing
Besides that, due to history, culture and religion, nothing compares to India vs Pak

KARACHI, Apr 19: Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq, who has often been criticised for not being innovative and not asserting his authority in the field, on Tuesday said the successful tour of India was a “great learning experience” which helped him to mature as a captain.
“I would only say that this tour has helped me tremendously and I have gained what I might not have learnt in 50 Tests as captain,” Inzamam said over phone from Lahore.
“I kept revising the gameplan according to the situation that kept changing probably every over. I made regular changes in the batting order, kept running the fielders here and there and experimented with regular bowling changes. It has been a tough but great learning series as a captain,” he said.
The 35-year-old veteran of 100 Tests said his players deserved all the praise and they should enjoy the moments after the tension filled 50-day tour but should not get overwhelmed with the win.
"The team should enjoy and celebrate these moments because they deserve it. But they can’t live on these laurels forever. It’s a performance and result oriented world and we can only survive by maintaining consistency in our performances.
“We have to keep our feet on ground, stay humble and collect all the praise, well-wishes and prayers because these will help us in future,” Inzamam said.
Inzamam admitted that he was feeling much lighter after the gruelling tour. “I admit that after nearly three months, I slept tension free and there were no nightmares haunting me in my dreams. It’s feeling like I am reborn.”
He added with a laughter: “I don’t want to leave the bed. I have hardly laid on it to relax in the last couple of months.”
"It has been an extremely tough and tension-filled series and only those involved in it can feel those pressures.
“My boys have gone through tough times and now they richly deserve the praise, rewards and appreciations because they have earned it through a dedicated and committed performance,” Inzamam, who won his first One-day series as captain since taking over the charge in October 2003, said

Re: not surprising but very interesting
well, that’s a definite possibility. He DID say that he will spend a lot of time in bed now. And there are only two things you can do in bed, sleeping and well you know what.
Re: not surprising but very interesting
Knowing Inzimam, he’ll do the former. Remember Inzi had said once in an interview that his favorite thing to do is sleep
