Hi....
Yesterday, India had a fantastic win...It was a fabulous effort by first Rahul Dravid, second Yuvraj Singh...and thirdly by Mohd Kaif....Kaif also proved that he too has the ability to fight under pressure though we were having a good average..... But despite a good average the wicketing saving was more important....Let's hope that India keep this kinna work in future also....
Three cheers
Bye

Saw the previous three matches ..... and decided not to watch India loose again. That too getting to see the match here in philippines, one would have to be considered lucky. Should have gone for it.

I usually watch it on webcast or listen to it, being on the other side of the planet, but the effect is still the same

The series is fixed, the amount involved in betting is many times the winning team gets.

When Australia came back from 80/5 in WC and thrashed Pakistan, it is hailed as a great fight back. When India / Pak does that it is viewed with suspicion.

Have you watched the last match? Kaif's catch was not appealed.

I am surprised that you are not aware of betting industry in India and Pakistan. Film stars , underworld and politicians are actively involved.
Our *great * film stars act as a bridge between criketers and under world.

Did you watched the replay? It was not a catch, the ball just flicked the thing pad.
But there was another close call - the LBW in Shahid Afridi's bowling, a plumb one. The Pakistan players did appeal for that, but the umpire turned it down.

Many will disagree. Commentators were surprised that no appeal was made.

If they appeal, people blame them for unfair appealing. If they don't, they suspect them.
If India loses, people blame them for not playing well. If they win, they suspect them.
Poor players

Does that mean that the results of all the 5 one day games were fixed? / only the 4th one was fixed?. I'm just trying to understand the logic.

Lets see how they play in night.
I am very much disappointed with the "Mr. Extras" performance in this match

Why is that match fixing come up when India wins and not when it loses. It loses most of the time, right?

I was hearing the cricket commentary on AIR (I dont have TV ) when a commentator said that he had met several Pakistanis who told him India will the series 3-2.
How did these people know that India will win 3-2.
