i am sorry but frankly pakistan could have forced the issue by scoring heavily. They didnt do.. they were so afriad to make India bat again. Its pathetic coming from the Pakistan who always prides itself of attacking cricket.
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
^ we saw the result when they tried to scored fast....
and that makes me glad that they did not try such kamakazi assault earlier....
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
No they should have sent afridi earlier.. preferably opening. If he gets out they could play for a draw.
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
this test serise is a farce .... :kill them alll:
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Can we have a fast and a bouncy wicket at Karachi please...
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Thank God this freakshow ended.
Wicket was fine for day one and day two but the problem is that it didnt deteriorate at all.
Hoping for a result in karachi.

Yuvraj Singh gets the 'Catch of the Match' award for his incredible catch to dismiss Younis in the first innings, Younis Khan gets an award too for hitting the maximum number of boundaries!
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
RP Singh has been adjudged 'Man of the Match' in his debut Test match, came as a surprise for many but this young kid did bowl his heart out on a lifeless pitch and thoroughly deserves the award!
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
^^ Good :)
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
i would giv zaheer khan the MoM award.after all he took afridi out :D
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Why are all the Indians crying about the declaration? If they had held on to their catches and not bowled a negative leg stump line, maybe they wouldn't have needed one? You're kidding only yourself if you think India would have declared at a sporting target if the positions were reversed.
All in all, what a yawn. Next.
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Let me take a note of that, I’ll make sure to make a fast and bouncy wicket for Karachi 
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
what a nonsensical last day to the match... and here I was expecting a competition along the lines of a limited overs match - Pak should've declared around a lead of 300 - seems to me like some batsmen had decided to go for personal goals and milestones rather than play the day for a real game.
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
^ I agree, I was sorta hoping the same, max I had hoped that they'd declare after lunch, but can you get any more turtler (living in defensive shell)?
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
Alhamdolillah, I was struck by the flu and did not have to witness, or lose my sleep over this so called Joke of a Test Match.
Another thought for my fellow guppies, seems this time around there has been a lot of tu tu main main, and a lot of flip flop, people have tried to twist facts and situations to their liking.
In the process have completely forgotten the spirit of the game.
Anyways see you folks at Karachi.

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
if you had read previous posts, he was bowling ‘medium pace’ and bouncers… not ‘spin’ 
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
^^it was a treat to watch him :D
Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006
INTECH Afridi started of as a fast bowler only to turn to leg spin afterwards in the early stages of his career.
