Was spot on.. The pak team is like SA with dodgy fielding, slightly worse consistency batting and minus one good fast accurate bowler

I would say minus at least two good fast accurate bowlers and a stable batting order.

Okay, they have two effective spinners in the middle overs, but other than that they're not really like us at all. :p
 
yah :-/ not sure they can pull themselves out of this hole.
 
I cannot take it anymore, watching the paki's try and sneak singles is just silly, for goodness sake say no and run down the pitch and slog the next ball instead of get yourself run out over 1 run.
 
WICKET! Pakistan 101-5 (Afridi c Silva b Muralitharan 0) We've just seen the worst innings in cricket history. Afridi just plonks his front foot and slogs his first ball straight to deep midwicket, where Dilshan takes the catch. Dear me. That was ridiculously premeditated. He would have played that shot even if Murali had held onto the ball, dropped his trousers, turned the other way and started charging off the field shouting 'chase me'. Afridi's batting has collapsed to rubble.

Seems like the middle and lower order batsmen in the Pakistani team don't give a $hit.
 
Looks like india in a spot of bother against the bouncers..
India 27/2 (3.5/20 ov), Gambir still there, Yuvraj Singh coming out to bat now, Dhoni still not bat.

..

India 29/3 (4.2/20 ov), Gambhir gone!!! :o, Dhoni strolls out to the pitch finally

SA play tomorrow on this pitch, windies are gonna be ducking a lot.. and i hope our batsmen are up for hooking and ducking

If India gets over 130 I'll be surprised. It's T20 for heavens sake, the point is to go a bit wild even if it looks silly...these guys look like they're playing the 50 over version and consolidating...3 wickets down with 8 overs to go...why be cautious?
