u shd expect that by now. cricinfo is basically an indian site, and discrimination runs high there.
newayz as for this match, indians have got many breaks. sehwag got 6 chances for his 300, and now inzi dismissed wrongly. they shd look to capitalize on their luck. the worst thing however was that the umpire was so sure of his decision that he raised the finger right away. this could well be the turning point of the match, as the big man was in magnificent touch and played a truly chanceless innings.
akpower, that's a bit unfair to call cric biased. some of their remarks can be construed as anti-india if i want to see it that way.
btw i didn't see the inzi decision but quite a few people were saying that when pakistan started the innings there were 2 very good lbw appeals turned down. is that true? looks like whenever i turn my back some umpiring gaffe happens
*New Ball taken ..... Irfan is the bowler and Yoyo the batsman ..... does it remind u of anything ??? BTW the ball is swinging a bit .....and as it has to be ..... a close shout for LBW *

Pathan and Zaheer are doing more appealing than bowling. It looks as if they start to appeal even before the ball reaches the batsmen. :)

in the odi series, and this test, i am quite surprised why the umpires r not issuing an official warning to pathan for excessive appealing....
(maybe the friendliness in the series is a factor)
i do remember dravid interrupting one od pathan's appeals and asking him not to appeal every ball....
