Dear sirs, With our bowlers Pakistan would score a minimum of 300 runs in the next three matches.We can score at that level if schewag would score 100 and in his own rate.If he falls early we do not have anyone else to make India wint he matches.Ganguly sachin and yuvaraj are failing repeatedly and the captain is ignorant of this fact he is not fit to be a captain and claim that we wouul win the series.

Sir, I am really surprised that Saurav said "They outplayed us from the very first ball of the match." Well, a person of his stature should remember that a match is not lost until the last ball is bowled.....well if that sounds a bit too much, 319 is definitely not un-chaseable. He should remember that in the first ODI in Cochi, where I was watching the recording of this match, and though I knew the result of this match, I was really surprised to see that Sehwag and Rahul etched out such an inspiring partnership despite losing 2 wickets for 4 runs, in such hot and humid conditions. If a very ordinary soul like me, after watching such a great partnership, thought that nothing is truly impossible, then Saurav, being a leader of this team for so many years has no reason to lose hope so early in this match!!!
Until this point I believed that we need to be more patient with Saurav. But after reading his comments, I think that Saurav should no longer be the captain of this team. We do not want a leader who loses hope so early in the match. I just hope that the rest of the team is not think alike.
We do not need SG to tell Pak out played India. Sachin , Sourav and Rahul are the dieses for the team. They are no more a match winners when India is chasing a target. When was last Sachin played an innings that can be remembered while India was chaing. It goes past at least 2 years. If he and others cannot perform for years why the hell are they in team. Is this some charity businees to make the top 4 people rich. IF not the players should be paid on performance and not seniority. Shirnath said we should have played Dhoni 2 years back. But then it was pathetic Patel who plaed right? And why was he chosen again and again after failures? He was dumped right after his contracts with his sponsorers. Do we have to wait for the same thing for the likes of Ganguly? Surprisingly Bedi is now advocating for Ganguly. Who once recomended over 30 should be dumped. India has no future with SG SRT and RD. And that's wh they are ranked 8th by ICC. ODI is all about scring runs at 110+ and RD cannot do that wspecially while chasing. In short dump SRT,SG And RD bring in new Dhonis and Virus. Act like aussies. Hope Gavaskar does not become manager. otherwise India will be 11th in ICC ranking.
It has happened time and again and the intense watchers of Cricket are made clowns. The way the wickets were dropping was unjustifyable. It is very clear the matches are all fixed. Dont be surprised if Pakistan win the next month too. But they are playing out a plan so that the general audience (bakra) dont suspect. For sure it is going to be 3 - 3 draw. They dont keep up the spirit of the game. Its time that we concentrate on individual games than these dirt.
