Re: Why O WHy O Why ?!?!?!
Well in my opinion 400 is a challenging total but not an impossible one. Remember, Pakistani bowlers were unlucky at times, really the only advantage they got was the Tendulkar wicket, but Dravid (lbw) and Kartick (catch by Akmal) were both lucky and went onto make big scores. I will totally defend Afridi. Any side in the world would love to have Afridi. Remember guys, he scored a quick fire 59. 59 is not a bad score in test cricket. its well above averages of most test cricketers. yes he played a silly shot, but remember he also took cruicial wickets. if anyone, afridi is the pakistani player in this match that deserves a little respect. Going out there and scoring 59 in front of a crowd like that is admirable. Taufeeq was lookign good, and could have done well if the other players around him didnt collapse like a deck of cards. After afridi was gone, both khan and inzi should have stuck around to give this guy confidence, just like dravid was around to give kartick confidence. He had to eventually lose his cool and play the shot he did, and it was a very impressive ball. I agree with the inclusion of Shoaib in the side. My side for th enext match:
Taufeeq
Afridi
Younis Khan
Youhana
Inzi
Malik
Kamal
Akmal
Sami
Khalil or Rana
Kaneria
