Let me open it now, mods can close it for now until the end of 2nd inning of next game, so you two stop fighting like pre-K babies.
Erm excuse me people, but as Ehsan’s home girl, and as samby bamby’s first love, I have privileges 
The 4th ODI is all mine.
Listen to me you homie bimbo... it's mine or nobody's.
Don't listen to them Ehsan, I'll be replacing all my Villa memorabilia with Blues stuff this weekend, and will be remixing the Pakistani national anthem with the lyrics to 'Keep Right On' ... all you have to do is say the word ;)
Kids, Kids stop fighting. Whoever opens it first after the end of the 3rd ODI takes it. Teh operative word is AFTER. About five hours after.

**Fast bowlers will find it tough in Peshawar-- Rameez
**
March 19, 2004
Pakistan’s victory in Rawalpindi not only evened things up between the two teams, it also made the next game, at Peshawar tomorrow, yet another must-win affair for both teams.
The wicket at Peshawar is a good track for batting, but I would not like to predict any possible score on the track.
Before the Rawalpindi match, Ganguly and I were looking at the pitch and we both agreed that it was not the kind of pitch on which 600 runs would be scored. We were proved wrong when both teams easily crossed 300. The weather will also be a factor at Peshawar because temperatures are rising every day, and it will be hard work for fast bowlers in such conditions. The batting on both sides has been really spectacular, and at the moment, the sky is the limit for both teams.
Indian fans would be disappointed with the performance of their captain, Sourav Ganguly, so far, especially since he usually plays very well against Pakistan. He does look a little out of touch, and it is never easy to be captain in an India-Pakistan series. That he has not come into his own would be worrying him, but right now he has other worries to deal with as well. He must certainly be feeling the pressure, and would be hoping to fire in Peshawar.
However, he has been a magnificent ambassador for his country and seems to be enjoying the tour tremendously. He is always smiling and chirpy, and seems to be taking the burden of captaincy lightly.
In fact, when I spoke to him at the meeting with President Musharraf, he commented that the only perk one gets as captain is that one gets to shake the hand of prime ministers and presidents before the rest of the team!
The President too was in great form yesterday. He confessed to having watched cricket during working hours, and remembered key moments in both games. He spoke admiringly about Tendulkar’s knock and even pointed out that the series has been hard-fought so far, since even the languid Inzamam was seen diving around the outfield!
The Pakistan team looked a lot more settled in the second game, and I think the difference was the inclusion of Shahid Afridi. He batted well, seemed to be using his head, was handy with the ball since he took two wickets, and fielded superbly. He has given the team good balance, and if he continues in this vein, it will be a great asset for the hosts.
I was also impressed with the way Shoaib and Sami bowled on a totally unresponsive wicket. Except for the unstoppable Sachin Tendulkar, they managed to contain and dismiss the Indian batsmen, and it was their quality bowling that finally prevented India from going up 2-0.
I think it would be unfair to say that Tendulkar did not play a potentially match-winning knock. When you are chasing 330, it simply cannot be a one-man show. India needed a couple of attacking cameos around the maestro if they had to win, but sadly for them nobody scored a 30-ball 50 to support Tendulkar’s charge.
The Indian bowling on the other hand has been a little listless, with the exception of Ashish Nehra and Ramesh Powar. The former looked confident after his match-winning last over in the first game, while the latter looked icy cool though he came in to bowl and later to bat in a very precarious situation.
The bowlers need to work on their line and try to get their basics right if they are planning to stop the run riot in the next game.
So..it is going to be another 320+ Game… Welcome to New World order of cricket.
Lets see how this tussle between bat and bat ends.
An hour untill the game starts

As far as I remember..Peshawar wicket helped bowlers during the first half hour....but I remember matches held during winter season with fog and dew on the ground.
I don't think it would be a 300+ game...side batting second will have advantage.
So are we ready with AK47s yeehaa.....Being in Peshawar..I wonder if Irfan pathan and Zahir Khan are still alive and hopefully they will bend over fine today.
Food for thought :
(1) I think we are due for the famed Paki batting collapse today.
(2) Indian bowlers have given away only 7 more runs than the supposedly very strong Paki bowling in the series so far - so people stop this BS about Balaji & Co.
(3) Is there any chance that Akhtar will be called for chucking when he goes for the "javeline throw" action after he is hit for a boundary ?
"May the best team win" is always easy to say. May the team that plays better win. Before the series started I had concerns about Indian bowling but took solace thinking Pakistan batting was mediocre. They have proved otherwise. Their feared bowling attack however hasn't materialized.
I was disappointed that the India bowling didn't seem to have any teeth in the 2nd ODi but as someone pointed out, the Pakistan bowlers haven't faired much better...so I guess I am/we are being somewhat unfair to Indian bowlers. Goodluck Zaheer, Irfan, Balaji, Yuvraj, Sachin, Sehwag and anyone that bowls.
May India win!
You call them bowlers? 
OK so these are batting tracks..but Phuleeeez..for f sakes!
Thanks for telling me the game is playing tonight, BoSS.
Go Pakistan! smile
an hour left. :)
I wish I cud watch teh match somewhere. Can't wait for this one. Seems the day is gonna belong to the batsmen.. and India has some of the classiest of em.
And we are off. AN early broadcast special. Still an hour before the first ball is bowled. Sanjay Manjrekar with Imran Khan and Sherry Sidhu.
There we go... Sidhu's advice to the bowlers "Either tighten your belts or lose your pants".
