the wednsday match would have been washed out.. No excitement....
who would compensate the PCB for the 100 s of crores they would loose in advertising... etc etc...

Now... 100 crore indians + whatever crore pakis are gonna be glued to the tv for 8 hrs on wednesday...

its a global conspricay o_0

seriously though, it just seems to be a little too much of a coincidence

Did anyone else thought it ironic that while most pakistanis were enjoying the match in Peshawer (including myself i might add), pak armed forces were fighting a pitch battle just a few kms away! (lost 20+ soldiers too according to some reports).

I wonder how families of those soldiers felt as all their neighbours celebrated the beloved patriot win!

wat is a chucker?

While bowling, if your arm is slightly bent, its technically throwing or chucking.

I don't believe that is correct. I think your arm can be bent while bowling, but only slightly, and it has to be like that for your entire bowling action. For example, it can't be straight and then suddenly bend at the last moment.

Just thought I would hijack this to mention New Zealand whipped South Africa once again. 5-1 in the one day games and now 1-0 up in the tests!

Good lord man, South AFrica has sure gone down the crapper considering the team they were at one time. It all ended with Hansie Cronje (RIP )

I agree this series has generated way too much hype !! Sorry for those who lost their dear ones.

Back to cricket, I sure wish I could watch the match, but I have a bloody test on Wednesday morning!! :|

that's what i was thinking.. but didn't want to say anything.. but it does seem fixed.. i wouldn't be surprised if tendulkar got another duck and india lost .

Whenever its India - Pak, its near to impossible to be fixed. The buzz on the 4th ODI was that it made sense only when India won coz that would make this series better.
Anyway I think India will take this one. 6/118 now

Last nail in the coffin. Done !!

What is the big deal about this series? Why is this so important? Don't they play this series in Sharjah just about every year?

India is playing Pakistan in Pakistan for the first time in 14 years. How old were you 14 years ago? Exactly, that is significant. Plus it's a complete series, not a triangular with some other nation. 5 ODI's and 3 test matches.

India hasn't been playing in Sharjah for like 2-4 yrs. India just played Pakistan in world cups !!

Now you know why sehwag is playing and powar not.


Kick some butt baby !!!
9 in just one last nail to seal the coffin. !!
Damn you ganguly !! why on earth was Sachin not allowed to complete his 200 !!
boooooooooooooooooooo !! ganguly !!

 

[kalster]

actually dravid was the captain when they decided to declare with sachin on 194

who cares, its good that they are being aggresive as a team, and not playing for personal scores i think, and besides the player sachin is, he will have 1000 more opportunities to make
double centuries
