Qasim Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I dont think australia are any good any more either, even new zealand are a challenge for them. Also dont use the word paks as it is offensive to some people.

Oblivion Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 What an awesome performance by middle & low order of Pakistan batting line up. Being behind 204 in the first innings, and again being 10-3 in the second innings. Attack was led by Inzamam with 86 & Youhana with 68. Kamran Akmal & Abdul Razzaq did wonders with (109 & 71 ) when we were 241-6, no one could have imagined the result that we are seeing now as Pakistan have managed to fight from an impossible position to declare at 496-9 in their second innings. This is Pakistans highest team total on the Indian soil with Kaneria being the first Pakistani leg-spinner to capture 5 wickets in an innings in India. India needing 293 to win with 25 overs left in the last days play. A job well done Pakistan Team.

golazo Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I dont think australia are any good any more either, even new zealand are a challenge for them. new zealand, a challenge ? obviously you didn't hear about the 5-0 series white wash of them in the one dayers by australia. the only game they challenged us was in the first game, the rest were easy wins Also dont use the word paks as it is offensive to some people. why not it's just like calling the british brits. or australians aussies Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/293189-pakistans-tour-to-india-cricket-series/page/2/#findComment-585605417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it depends in which way you actually use the word paks, if you use it as an abbreviation for pakistanis then it is totally acceptable.

HilariousNinja Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 If the match had another day of play added on, you know it would have been India winning though.

Jerichohol Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 It would be nice if we had won, we had the upper hand through most of the match. Good for Pakistan. It was a great game to watch. Loooking forward to the next one. OT: Has everyone in the UK been able to subscribe to Sony TV to watch the Cricket?

jerry Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 No one could have imagined the result that we are seeing now as Pakistan have managed to fight from an impossible position to declare at 496-9 in their second innings. 585605396[/snapback] 10/3 in the second innings wasnt as bad if you consider that the opening pair and the one down batsman of Pakistan are novices. I wouldnt call it an "impossible" situation because: a. It is India, not famous for bowling out their opponents. b. The pitch wasnt a "turner" and did not detereorate. Hence pitch on Day 5 was same as Day 1. A job well done Pakistan Team. Totally Committed Performance (Y) (Y) 585605396[/snapback] Agreed. :yes: The test match is finally over and the result is a draw. I think Pakistan played better overall 585605507[/snapback] Played better ? India had a 200+ run lead in the first innings, Pakistan was 10/3 in the second innings and literally played to save the match. :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/293189-pakistans-tour-to-india-cricket-series/page/2/#findComment-585611506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red. Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 India should have won but pakistan lower-middle order and the tail batted really well. They were leading for 4 out of the 5 days and when a team does that it should win the match but again congrats to pakistan for pulling off an unexpected draw. Can't wait for the second test. It should have a lot more atmosphere because they're playing at Eden Gardens in front of 100,000+ people. I think that Khan should be dropped and Harbajan should take his place. Nothing wrong with the batting (apart from ganguly, but you can't really drop the captain). Qasim are you trying to be funny with your postsor are you being serous? i hopes it's the former. Also i heard that Balaji got fined for excessive appealling. I didn't really see him appeal too much but then i didn't wake up at 4.30 to start watching.

Re: Balaji, there was some excessing appealing but come on, he was off injured for a year so they should cut him some slack but a great performance from him nonetheless. Yeah I heard they were going to play three seamers also. Should be interesting what team they pick. We'll have to wait till tomorrow. Its going to be an early morning tomorrow.
