Laptop na bhai
Place where we (me and i guess 6/7 of my firneds) are going to watch this is basically a temple and last time when i went there to watch Pak-Ind game (worldcup 2003) we (11 guys) were only Pakistanis there in b/w 400-450 Indians. I expect same this time so we wont even take our shows off k kub BHAGNA parh jayee so we dont carry much stuff although airbeds, sleepting bags are allowed 
on serious note:
I am not that addicted to KK, k i take laptop with me. I love to keep my hands free in these kinds of event 
oh by they way

welcome to Karachi
Indian bowling on trial](http://www.cricket.org/db/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/MAR/093273_PAKIND2003-04_12MAR2004.html)
Sourav Ganguly was remarkably relaxed for a man whose team had just suffered a sound thrashing against an A team. He, more than anyone else, knows the fickle nature of cricket, especially the shorter version. There was an unreal air about the Karachi one-dayer, with the Indian team being cocooned throughout their stay by security of the highest intensity. Yet this gives the team a chance to stay focused on the cricket. After all, they have little choice. As Ganguly put it, his tourism in Karachi has been limited to the airport, his hotel room, the cricket ground and, lo and behold, one swimming-pool.
The last time India were in Pakistan for a series - in 1997 for three one-dayers, not quite 14 years ago as everyone parrots - Karachi proved to be a happy hunting ground. That fateful day, when India won by four wickets, is remembered for Rajesh Chauhan’s last-minute heroics, but it was Ganguly who laid the base with a confident 89. And, from Ganguly’s relaxed smiles, it’s clear that the warm-up match hasn’t dented India’s confidence significantly. “Morale is pretty much up. That was a warm-up game yesterday but there is no excuse. They played better than us when they batted. Tomorrow is an international game, it is a different ball-game.” One journalist began to suggest that Ganguly was worried about the bowling, and he nipped that in the bud with a quick quip: “Nothing is worrying me.”
The National Stadium, like many others in Pakistan, is a big one. The boundaries are long, the surroundings wide-open. The drive to the stadium is a long one, and the heat is oppressive. That, more than anything else, will be a factor in the series opener. India’s bowlers have consistently suffered injuries, and Zaheer Khan’s performance (1 for 78 from nine overs with 22 extras) will have to be a concern, whatever Ganguly might say notwithstanding. Ashish Nehra, more out of the side than in it, is yet another worry, but he might still get the nod ahead of either Irfan Pathan or Lakshmipathy Balaji.
Normally India never announce their team the day before a game, so it came as no surprise when Ganguly said that key decisions on the composition of the side would be taken only on the morning of the match. The batting line-up, if not the actual batting order, is well set, with the only choice being between Hemang Badani and Mohammad Kaif.
This series has been preceded by so much talk about security, inter-country politics, goodwill et al, that it’s a massive relief that the games are finally about to begin. Finally there is talk about bat and ball, Pakistan’s fast bowlers versus India’s batting and, of course, Shoaib Akhtar v Sachin Tendulkar. Inzamam-ul-Haq was to the point, Javed Miandad chatty and witty, Sourav Ganguly laid-back, and John Wright measured, when they spoke to the press in the last two days. But none dropped any pearls of wisdom. With the number of press calls happening at the moment, that is hardly surprising.
Yet, for India’s fans several key questions still remain unanswered. Is this bowling attack disciplined enough to hold down Pakistan’s batsmen? Will the batting line-up consistently put enough runs on the board to put pressure on the opposition? Will Tendulkar bat with the unfettered aggression he displayed at Centurion during the World Cup? Will Murali Kartik step up to the plate and be counted in the absence of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh? When either Simon Taufel or Nadeem Ghauri calls “play” and the first match of this series gets underway all questions will be answered.
Indian team (probable)1 Sachin Tendulkar, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Sourav Ganguly (capt), 4 Rahul Dravid (wk), 5 VVS Laxman, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 Mohammad Kaif, 8 Murali Kartik, 9 Irfan Pathan, 10 Zaheer Khan, 11 Ashish Nehra.

Sigh ! you are right bro , narrow mindedness has no time or shortage of legs. Kubhi bhi aa sakti hai,
Here’s an anti climax from JAVAGAL SRINATH. ( Perfect Angel ) from HT
qoute ,
I am afraid that verbal abuse will be rampant from the Pakistan camp, as their coach Javed Miandad has already initiated the process of physiological warfare. At the same time, I am pretty confident that the seniors in the Indian team are far too experienced in handling such things and have certainly prepared the younger lot to follow their footsteps. Some exchange of words is always good to give a boost to the challenging spirit of the game. But resorting to indecent personal remarks and vulgar gestures will definitely not augur anything good to the so-called Friendship Series.
Barring the incident in Toronto where the current Pakistan skipper Inzamam ul-Haq strode into the crowd taking the law (read bat) in his own hands, his behaviour as a cricketer has always remained exemplary.
A great timer of the ball, Inzy has always been a cool customer – be it in win or defeat.
The rest of the Pakistani players cannot be put on the same pedestal. Behind the stumps, Moin Khan could be the real culprit. Wicketkeepers standing behind the stumps can be a menace to the game if they don’t conduct themselves properly. Stumpers’ proximity to the batsmen makes it easier to exchange words.
unqoute, 
I personaly feel that what ever pakistan has learned in terms of abusive n aggressive cricket is from Down under Australians. Specially Jeff Thomson and Denise Lillee and co.
Mr. Srinath has portrait Pakistanis to this level only breaks my heart and diminishes any hope of good un-controvercial game from both sides. bcz Mr Srinath types will be there to throw spanner to the wheels would not be an easy threat.. shame on him for this misleading statistics against a young pakistan side.
:rotato: aap kay munh may gheee shukrrrr,aur Karachi Halwa 
Oh man, that Inzi incident in Toronto was hilarious. I will never forget being there and witnessing them escort that Indian guy.

One of the spectator (Indian) chanted on Inzimam "Moota Aallo Aaloo Aaloo..." and Inzi rand after him to hit him with bat :)
Nope :nono1:
Here is the full text -
** The series will be evenly contested; India will manage to come back after initial disappointments. **
The 1 st One day International: Pakistan will be aggressive in the first match and will have the upper hand with Shoaib getting decisive breakthroughs. However, Shoaib will not be able to dominate Sachin Tendulkar. :k: The match on 13.3.2004 has a 4-4 numerical combination and is not very good for India. As captain, Inzamam Ul Haq will do better than Ganguly who is number 8. Inzamam’s Moon sign Dhanu and five other planets are favourably aspected by Jupiter. Ganguly will be aggressive, but will do only moderately well. Tendulkar will dominate Shoaib. In batting, Sachin and Inzamam will be evenly matched, but Sachin’s Mars and Jupiter will cause him to be aggressive and might give him a slight edge. Sehwag will be explosive, but might not get a sizeable score.
