Is there even an explanation as to why Rana is dropped? "More experienced?" Shoot me.

Just relax... let the game begin.

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

probably its the idea of our highly experienced bowling consultant Mushtaq ahmed to drop rana:(

Our only hope is India has a looooooong tail. Come on, Dhoni is coming in at no. 6 with only the bowlers to follow?

Too bad we dropped our strike bowler in favor of Razzaq who single handedly lost us a match after being spanked around by a no. 10 Plunkett on a BOWLER's wicket.

Oh God, no. The other day I saw Mushtaq and Razzaq inter-mingling with each other in one of the 'net' pictures.

If that is the case, might as well buy a one-way ticket to Karachi.

Very much agree. I am just living right now, especially now that you have provided this example. Who ate a bad apple this morning and suggested this move?

A strategic decision by the selection gang will have strategic impact on the game.

:rotfl: “Strategic”? Yes, a recipe for a disastrous draw, if you even want to call it that.

of course, Rana couldn't throw the off-spinners :D

Lucky Pakistanis... Won the toss again.

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

India has taken a bit of risk here I think.....I am happy with the dropping of GANGU & AGARKAR....but I am not sure replacing both of these guys with "pure" bowlers (as opposed to all-rounders or atleast one bastman) is a good -idea.

From the Pakistani perspective, obviously nobody disagrees with the dropping of Sami...but why the heck has Rana been dropped....he is a bowler with a lot of heart...could have troubled the Indian batsmen with the short stuff...e.g. the ball to which he got Sehwag out in the 1st test.

154

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

Well, lets not jump to conclusions... our side has to bat first and then bowl.

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

...and why are indians so sadden that Rana is dropped? Mind you, he was the bowler to give up most runs to sehwag. It seems poor shewag will be missing his buddy in this match.

Epidemic of philosophy on GS.
