Indian tour to Pakistan

Indians should forget what happened to them against the Pakistan "A" side in their warm up match.

However, the bowling has to be sharpened by the Indian bowlers.. Of late, Indian bowlers has given runs in plenty during the first 15 overs and the latter overs.. These are the crucial phases of a one-day match and more emphasis should be made on bowling on good lengths...

I wish India all the best during their tour to Pakistan...

India is very Big team of pakistan.Indian 7players are very formed.so the visitors have a star-studded batting line-up, regarded as one of the best in the world, the bowling could be the chink in the armoury as India set out to create history by winning their first-ever Test series on Pakistan soil.
particulary Star(*) batsman:
******************************
1) "Sachin Tendulkar", who scored a sparkling 76 in the practice match, showed no signs of the stiff back which troubled him during the three-day camp in Kolkata and it must have come as a huge relief for the Indian team management.
"Opener Virender Sehwag" and the dependable Rahul Dravid were also among the runs in the warm-up game while the stylish VVS Laxman, who had an outstanding tour of Australia, also spent some time in the middle.
Bowlers:---------------
The absence of three key bowlers -- Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble and Ajit Agarkar -- due to injuries has weakened the Indian bowling to a great extent. Pace spearhead Zaheer Khan has just come back from a groin injury and not played much cricket in the domestic season while fellow left-armer Ashish Nehra is also returning from an injury..
yours;sachin(saravanan).

Poor bowling

Indian bowling is laughably weak. It is humiliating to see our bowlers carted around the park by literal second stringers. I shudder to think what we will do against the Pakistani line up , much as these so called experts would like us to believe the Pakistani batting is not weak in fact Imran Farhat and Yasir Hameed scored heavily against South Africa and New Zealand.It is also time we stem the hype against Irfan Pathan and Balaji, the Indian media is behaving as if we have found Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillie.Miandad is dead right about the calibre of Pathan; it will take time for him to be really a sucess in international matches. Balaji is useless and does not have any firepower. It would be prudent if our so called experts wake up and include Ashish Nehra for the first game instead of Pathan or Balaji as he has still proved himself in the past and you never know when this eccentric bowler can hit form. Do remember that nehra can be the quickest of Indian bowlers when in mood.It is also time to include a bowler of some raw pace like Munaf Patel.We should stop picking people like Bhandari and novices like Pathan.
