Paki's have taken up the 90's Indian mandil. This is so unlike the pakistani team which we know that fights till the very end.
This could be Kamran Akmal's last match I guess :lol2:
I think otherwise pakistan wud be all out for 50 :lol: :lol:
For the umpteenth number of time, Aussies prove it yet again that there is lot more to cricket than just talent. It's all in the mind and attitude. Way to go Aussies! :notworthy:
one of the heart breaking results, im atleast glad that we all supported pakis
Though unlikely, I wish they sack Karmam for next couple of Test series to stress the importance of fielding not just for him but also for the rest of the players. This Test defeat is one thing that is going to hurt and haunt the Pakistanis for a very long time.Quote:

Idhuve indiavA irundhiundha umar gul-avadhu 50 adichu pak jeyikka vechuruppaan. Poor show by pakis. Just like hopw yuvraj etc collapsed 2 years ago when kumble was solid at other end. All ounder bhajji couldn't stand the heat for even 2 overs thus poving cleaely that he stays in the team by capitalising on easy circumstances. Same with yuvi. If we had viru in that match, maybe result would have been different. Instead we went with jaffer and yuvi based on form in india, which goes to show that depending on flat track bullies like yuvi will let you down in crucial moments thus costing you the chance for making history.
All said, if this match changes the trend of picking poor man's gilchrists - picking keeper for batting abilities - that will be a great service to cricket. Gilly was a one off - no point trying to keep inferior imitation gillys as keepers

Good move to put pressure on Karmam Akmal. :clap: However harsh, crazy and silly it may sound (in the middle of the tour) they should drop Akmal for the next couple of Test series to teach a lesson not just to him but also to the rest of Pakistani players on how much fielding is important in any form of cricket. Right from their Test debut since partition, fielding is one department where Pakistan has been consistently below par. :x
இது போல ஒரு வாய்ப்பு பாகிஸ்தானுக்கு மறுபடியும் கிடைக்குமா என்பது சந்தேகமே.
இவனுங்க பெரும்பாலான நேரங்களில் இப்படித்தான். பந்தை Goal Post வரைக்கும் தள்ளிட்டு போவானுங்க. ஆன Goal மட்டும் போட மாட்டாய்ங்க!
Plum போலவே நானும் கணித்தேன். ஆனால் ஒருவேளை அப்படி ஏதாவது ஏடாகூடமா நடந்துவிட்டால் என்ன ஆவது என நினைத்து எழுதாமல் இருந்து விட்டேன். கடவுளால் கூட காப்பாற்ற முடியாது போலிருக்கிறது.

Aussies :clap:

Looks like there are some divided thoughts within the Pakistani setup on whether or not to go after Akmal. IMO, they should get him. :twisted:

waiting for the result... :P
Who will be the player of the decade?
We asked over 30 players (current and former), commentators, cricket writers and other insiders to pick their top three cricketers of the 2000s. Each No. 1 vote fetches a player three points; No. 2, two; No. 3, one. The results will be announced early in 2010. Meanwhile, a look at some of the contenders.
