After Australia series again cricket season is zooming up... http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/519949.cms What do you think, should we under estimate Pak ? Is it easy to defeat Pak on its soil, with its home crowds and ofcource with tremendous pressure? I m affraid of thinking what would happen if india can not make it? I think it is more difficult to play against Pak than to Australia becouse when India and Pakistan plays, it not just a cricket.Its some kind of religion war.Both plays after few year's gap.Both country wants to win anyhow? People from both country can not digest defeat against eachother. Some time even threating the life of cricketers. Anyway, when Pak and India plays, i get one reason to use firework .

I read that India has added a clause saying - if even a single "stone throwing" incident happens with Indian player during the match, India has right to cancel the tour with being responsible to Pakistan Board for any compensation. Pakistan has accepted this clause [ February 27, 2004: Message edited by: Varun Khanna ]

Even if stones are thrown, India wont withdraw. Vajpayee will tell - Let us continue and give peace a chance. Dalmiya will also agree (he is only intersted in money and indian cricketers in ads) Even Pak President is not safe. If Indians lose they will say - We lost becaue of security pressure.
Well, it is not easy for Indians to paly in Pakistan considering the hostile crowd.

This will come to rescue india if she is losing match.It is not cleraly specified that this clause will applicable to pak crowd only.So just in case if india is losing match, indian crowd can stop match by throwing stone.....

Parthiv patel is again incldued in the squad. Rahul Dravid is better wicket keeper than him. I think he is the worst wicket-keeper in the world (followed by Rahul Dravid), worst full-time wicket-keeper india ever had. Yet he is included again and again. Probably he is having some jack. Cricket is so popular in india, there are so many Ranjit Trophy teams, each having full-time wicket keepers. It is surprising that selection committee couldn't find even single quality wicket-keeper.

Well, 349 proved just enough - thanks to the Pakistan bowlers for the 30 extra runs & deliveries India could have scored more runs easily. I think the Ganguly's wicket was crucial. If he could have stayed there for another 10 overs, things would have been very different. But what a chase it was from Inzi led Pakistan players. Great work & Congrats

I think india should go with 5 bowlers, also i think Murali Karthik should be replaced. Next match will be far more difficult for India, because i believe Shaid Afridi and Saqlain Mustaq will be back, Also pakistani bowlers will ball much better, i.e. less no of wides and no-balls. Next match is at Rawalpindi, any idea what kind of pitch is that?
