Pakistan V india - 4th ODI

I will be watching the game live today in some one else’s house so please pardon my absense :smiley:

Good Luck to my pakistan:kiss: team :jhanda:

Pakistan already announced unchanged squad for last 2 ODI.

I don't know why some of you want to change the team again.
I wouldn’t change the team for following reason.

-->Younis is playing good; he was unlucky that he run out, he knows that if he doesn't perform he will be dropped from the team... most likely replace by Misbah.

-->Afridi is a good fielder and handy sixth bowler, he needs to calm himself down when he play as an opener, he must realize that he can't hit every ball.

--> Inzi has alot of experience but if I have to replace someone I would replace Inzi, why? He can't run fast, he gets people run out; he drops easy catches, poor captaincy. Over all he is a good batsman, he can perform under pressure and that is reason he is still in the team.

-->Razzaq he playing awesome, he needs to use more combination in his bowling.

-->Sami bowling in last 3 overs were terrible, no line & length, he was bowling all over but I will still keep him in the team, he is a good bowler he wasn’t able to get any wickets due to drop catches.

Tomorrows match is going to be a blast, I can just feel it in my bones. Sundays and cricket are just made for each other :k:

i m gonna watch it in stadium :hula: (well, half of it)

Saby I am jealous. The other half you are going to watch it at “The village”? If so, have a kebab from me. :slight_smile:

ooopss.... edited!!

Well atmosphere cant be described in words.. There is this incredible buzz all over the place. Banners, people talkign everywhere. Universities have bought tickets in abundance and taking contingents to watch matches. The whole city is buzzing with excitement. Stadium is very close to where i live, so i saw the floodlights on tonight and thought about paying a visit and watch them practice but unfortunately all the ways leading to stadium were blocked.

well if you Have to, then go ahead!! But if some player doesnt perform, it aint my fault !

Team has performed well out of the selections it had.
I’m glade that I don’t have to make a choice for who should play and who should be dropped.
There have been many posts about Raja Naveed ul hasan 1st ODI
and now Shahid Afridi 2nd ODI.
Both these palyers have performed so well under the circumstances
with tremendous Body Language and hunger for win.
I was again very encouraged to see Sami talking to him self, sparkle in his eye and visible anger towards his friend in the closet “Casper” who he might dump very soon the way things are.

I can see it that Sami has the urge to improve himslef all the time. He is a match winner, only needs to be more consistant with his thinking.

Great team ! 3rd ODI. Lahore is well known for its main course meals i.e Tons for batsmen and great inspiration for Bowlers.
Razzlar is cool dude, so don’t even think about it.

:insha: Pakistan will complete its win here.

:jhanda:

Match will start at 0430am local Toronto. Around 1800-2000 Local time l few bunch of Torontonians are planning a trip to Gerard St. Lahore Kabab house to celeberate :insha: our win and take a Rickshaw ride.

  • :insha: we’ll wrap up the series tomorrow, we better warna the last game could be touch and go *

wow...u r reminding me of my lahore......seems like we all who live abroad are missing a lot of fun on regular basis...i also used to live pretty close to stadium in gulburg ( well i still live in the same area when i go back home as my parents are still in pakistan)....

i also remember that historical night when paki team came to lahore after winning 92 world cup....it is difficult to explain that nite in words...lahorites were almost mad with joy and whole mall road was blocked.....team was in a big open truck and it took them almost 6 hours to get to data darbar from lahore airport (normally half a hour)....i remember people running with truck on mall road for almost whole route.... there used to no terror **** those days and we all were able to see players.....

anyway, i hope we will win tonite....

i am sick of following match alone at my place so i am planning to go to arizona state university campus tonite and see match with pakistan student association there.....
