Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Play has been called off for the day as light doesn't seem to get any better, it has applied some breaks on a superb batting surge by Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid, the former was sensationally devastating, breaking quiet a few records on way to a massive double hundred!,
Good Night!
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
This has been a disgrace even by Pakistani standards. As Imran Khan very rightly pointed out, this wicket has backfired severely on Pakistan. Not only has the myth of our bowling on flat wickets been exposed but our batting efforts are laughable in the face of the Indian performance. Clearly the momentum is with India for the next test.

Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Sehwag looking hot for another 300? It'll be a slap in pak's face if he does.

we already have more security people than audiences....
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
I think the match is beyond any result now so Sehwag should just go on and score 400+ just to rub it in PCB retards.

‘Shoaib hasn’t lived up to expectations’ - Sehwag

On a day when he bulldozed past several batting records, Virender Sehwag has said that Shoaib Akthar, Pakistan’s strike bowler, “hasn’t lived up to expectations”. Despite the fantastic partnership he shared with Rahul Dravid, he unequivocally stated that a long-term stance of opening with Dravid wasn’t an option and confirmed that would be an arrangement adopted “once in a while”.
“We didn’t lose a wicket in our innings and that must tell you something about their bowling,” he said at the post-match press conference. “Shoaib didn’t get a wicket and he hasn’t lived up to expectations.”
Sehwag was candid in his response when asked to compare the two attacks: “At least we got seven wickets, they haven’t got even one.”
Hailing Dravid’s century, his first as captain, Sehwag said it would not be a permanent arrangement. “Dravid is a very good No.3 batsman and he opened in this game because we didn’t have another opener in the team.” Having made just one fifty in his last nine innings, Sehwag was happy to have got out of the rut. “I have always said it was a matter of one big innings,” he said. “I have got some 30s and 40s but an innings like this give you tremendous confidence.”
Commenting that a result-oriented surface would have been a better idea, Sehwag said that India were prepared to play on any kind of pitch. “Pakistan probably didn’t want to prepare seaming tracks,” he said, “and thought that their bowlers will get us out on flat, hard wickets. But we fought back well and are ready to play on any sort of track. It’s not a good wicket for a Test match and if we have to play a drawn series, there is no use coming here. I don’t think it will produce a result and tomorrow will be more like batting practice.”
He added that regular stoppages were a hindrance and that chasing a big total was always a uphill task: “It’s never easy for a batsman to maintain his concentration when one is constantly going off for bat light. It’s tough to sight the ball in the bad light. It’s tough to come back after the break and play the same way. Our first task was to save the follow-on and we needed to have a positive partnership. The start was very important.”
The 403-run opening stand was just 10 short of the world-record for the highest opening partnership of all time, set by Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy almost 50 years back against New Zealand at Madras, but Sehwag said he wasn’t thinking too much about it. “The world record really doesn’t matter,” he continued, “I didn’t know we were close to the record until I came back to the dressing-room.” He also added that he wasn’t aware of beating Sunil Gavaskar’s record for the fastest hundred by an Indian opener.

Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
thats a stupid comment from him..
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Now this is what I call "personal revenge." Remember all those comments Shoaib Akhtar made against the entire Indian team before the series, which were printed in almost all major newspapers and tabloids of different nature throughout the country in order to promote the series and "bhai-chaara"? No.........? I don't, either.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Sehwag 2 times dropped and once given not out...wow...
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Sehwag has the right to rub it in, he's still batting. The only way to shut him up is to stop talking and start getting his wicket. Until then, he has every right to brag. Strange match.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Shame on Pakistan on making stupidist pitch ever and also for kept throwing short pitch deliveries.
The sorry state PCB and team is in at this stage should give them some rethinking before the Faislabad's test starts. I think it is good for them to have eye-opener right on their face at the beginning.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
This aint a wonder.. If Pakistani batsman can shine on a wicket like this, then Indians are more champion than us in batting. I was talking to a friend and I told him that now Indian batting will do the genocide of our attack. Indians are better in batting then Pakistani team and everyone knows that. Our strenghth is (was) bowling and this is what we give to bowlers to shine with.
Only full day rain can save Pakistani BOARD ( not team) from further humiliations.
