Re: Pakistan v India - 2nd ODI - 2012/13

A big win thanks to Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed and the bowlers.

Pakistan’s final total was atleast 50 runs below par considering they were a commanding 141 for none in the 24th over! Even 325 was on. Hafeez played a poor shot, even Jamshed was needlessly out stumped with almost 9 overs remaining in the innings. It would probably have been ok in the last couple of overs or so. One of them needed to stay right till the end to really make the solid start count. On another day such lapses in concentration might have been the difference between winning and losing. Younis got an absolute shocker from the umpire but then it is perhaps needless to try and sweep every ball knowing that the umpire’s finger’s just itching to be raised. Why give them a reason? Jamshed is proving to be India’s nemesis, 3 successive ODI hundreds against them

Azhar Ali is not an ODI player. UA and/or or Ahmed Shehzad should be in our one-day team

Dhoni’s strange innings didn’t make sense and it’s about time he got over his ‘infatuation’ with Jadeja (just proves that there is a wide gap between IPL and international limited overs cricket).

I still believe that India’s current batting is quite good atleast in the limited overs format. But they have surprisingly lacked consistency over the past 18 months or so

India’s batting is over rated …Our bowlers in form can run through these batsman any day anytime
