Well, the Indians and Pakistanis are facing off against eachother on National Stadium, Karachi. Both have performed abysmally (my own thinking) in the first innings. Hopefully, the second one will prove to be more interesting.

both the previous tests were batting pitches...i dint think there would be any outcome there. This next one is interesting though...lets see if the indian bowlers can hold the pakistan batsmen to within 300 again.

The Pakistani team is upto 175 at the loss of 2 wickets, last I saw. Tendulkar got hit in the face which was an unfortunate accident. The commentary has been good till now.

I am assuming the majority of the people on this board want India to win

Therefore,

Go India

Many countries. The major ones I can remember are England, Australia, Srilanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa, Pakistan, and others which I can't remember.

What Soccer/Football is in the US is equivalent to what Cricket is in South East Asia.

I think this match is going to be totally result -oriented.....my only concern is that pitch does not get worse that what India had to face in the first innings. Now, if weather remains good then with current pitch conditions we have good chance to getting Pakis out on 4th day - tea time and then fight the battle for 1-1/4 day to win the match.

GO INDIA.

GO PAKISTAN!

Well, the pitch being used is the same for both the teams so if one suffers, the other one suffers too. Boycott did comment that the Pakistani team is in a much better position right now than before and all three options of winning, drawing and losing were on the table.

GO PAKISTAN!

37.6 Singh to Younis Khan, no run, just short of a good length and
outside the off, played back down to mid off
37.5 Singh to Younis Khan, FOUR, short and too wide, that is a freebie

37.3 Singh to Younis Khan, no run, short of a length and outside the

37.2 Singh to Younis Khan, FOUR, overpitched and on the pads, Younis

outside the off, angling away from the right-handed Younis Khan,
left alone to the keeper

I would say but give them a chance.

I am firmly behind the statement that 'the best team wins'.
