When Pakistan won the two onde-dayers, it was due to their excellent performance in the field. Not due to the pitch.
But, when they lost, it was the pitch which was the culprit. It was not Inzy's running between the wickets, it was not the five chances they gave sehwag, it was not the (lack of) line and length of their frontline bowlers - Shoaib and Shabbir.
Pakistan cricket is getting back to their old ways after playing gracious hosts. The pitches for the next two tes matches will be tampered with so much that the Indian team will have a cakewalk though the series. Possibly, a whitewash for the first time ever that will be inflicted by India on foreign soil!
All the best India! Till pakistan is blaming pitches, weather, TV cameras and the crowd (and what not!)for their performances, we have a lot to gain. Beware of Inzy though, he will strike back with a vengeance!
the wicket maker has been hired by the pcb officials, and hence mr. Atkinson is only answerable to the board and not to any one. since both the sides has one of the best batsmen in the world and it would have been testing time for them had the pitch been bowler friendly.
pakistan captain is not accepting the fact that the indians are the better team in that match. let inzi try to bring out the best from his team leaving these kind of lame excuses.
Why is such a hue & cry being made over the placid track at Multan, leading to Pakistan's nemesis? Good teams, as Pakistan claims to be one, win on any track/conditions.The fact remains that India is a better team and Pakistan would do well to accept that! Give India a bouncy track and see Pakistan getting holed again..! Lets get it straight...The Indians are on a roll and they are looking murderous at the moment. Pakistan will do well to accept defeat in grace and not look for scapegoats!!
It is not the fault of the pitch/curator . The match produced a result , not a draw. So the curator can`t be blamed. It is due to the strong batting line up that India have . It is the same team which had made tons of runs in Australia. The Australians did`t blamed the pitch or curator, instead they appreciated the good batting by Indian batsman. Hope Imran and others realise the fact that it is due to Indian batting that did the things.
