It was a great feeling that India won the series for the first time. IN fact other than Australia, India has now shown the determination aganist the pakistanis and such determination should always be there 100%. I really feel that except for the austrlians who always give 100% in both the forms of cricket( some or other any one from 11 gives a good knock or bowl to take thier team to victory or safety)One would rarely see a rash stroke or loose ball. If India can adopt this policy really we can be champions in both the forms of cricket. We should beat The world champion will be the one who beats Austrlia.

Neutral umpiring

Yes! it is true that India has never won a test match in Pakistan. It is almost 15 years since we have played in that country. Neutral umpiring has come into international cricket after we stopped playing there. All of us know that during those days our team had to battle all of the 11 players and the two umpires too who were Pakistanis. Perhaps the only decisions we used to get in our favour where Pakistani batsmen were out when the ball hit the stumps or they were directly caught, many genuine LBW decisions were never used to be given in our favour or were given against out batsmen. In fact we used to joke amongst our friends that the Pakistani umpires used to tell their bowlers that all you have to do is get the ball hit their legs and we shall declare them out. Now that Neutral umpiring has come we have already won our first ODI series in Pakistan. Need I have to say more.
