Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
He hasn't heard about the word - DIPLOMACY.
Says he (as quoted at Cricinfo) :
*"At least we got seven wickets, they haven't got even one." *
and
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.
Did a similar stunt before the start of the series.
One would think that such a patient of verbal diahrreoa should always show such stunts regardless of their team's performance. I wonder where did the stunts go when things are not going well for India. But than diahrreoa is an occasional condition when things become uncontrollable.
Just waitng anxiously for the moment, when these comments would come back and bite him hard on his a$$.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
He is quite right in what he says … when even for his standards it’s like batting practice then u know something (or quite a few things) has gone wrong dreadfully … the poor curator will be like a donkey in the village where everyone is out there to beat him
BTW Gangu must be spanking himself for opting out of the opening combo coz this pitch would’ve been the ultimate helper for his disputed claim for a place in teh side … and a vertain guppy wanted to do something special if Gangu crosses the score of 39
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
To be fair to Sehwag, I am convinced he never says these things with any arrogance or with any malafide intentions....
He is innocent at heart but slightly uncouth, inarticulate and has angrezi communication issues....and certain things get lost in translation in his mind.
I mean Shabbir Ahmed once said in an interview...."There is 'moisturizer' in the wicket'....I am sure he did not mean it.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Oh well. What a test! I think this test is really turning out to be a test of the patience of Pakistani supporters! :D
On a lighter side, I think the Indian team really messed up. Only two batsmen got batting practice here. What a shame. At least on Pakistan side, we got four guys to hit centuries and nine players walked out to bat. On Indian side, only two.... hip hip hurray! Now we are gonna get the rest of the team surprised in Faisalabad. Yayyy!!! However, there is always the small matter of how to get the openers out.... Damn!!

Just to re-emphasize my point about “Desi English gone wild”…Please check the following image from Abdul Qadir Cricket Academy (I have referred to it in another thread too) :
GRASS ROOT IS OUR ORIGINAL FUTURE - Whatever that means !
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
$hit I almost forgot that. Gangu definitely has a chance of crossing 39 and we definitely have a chance to view that something special, if dravid and sehwag will permit him.
So should we say that us certain guppy kee izat sehwag aur dravid kay hathoo may hay:cb:
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
That does not look like it is going to go away.
btw, I just saw that as recently as 2002-2003 South Africa’s Gibbs/Smith scored 368 opening partnership against Pakistan. Interesting, I don’t know how I had missed that.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
The only thing of interest left in this match is whether Ganguly will bat and score more than 39 so FG can do what he promised. So lads let's all root for Gangs to make at least 40 tomorrow. :D

Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
He has been hiding after he made claims like
Indian will be 10/3 in first inning.
Pakistan fast bowler will show what is there in the pitch for bowlers.Indians bowlers are not good enough and
*]Ofcourse His comment on Ganguly.
He is new Umar316 of this forum. Too much of cockiness.
