Moin Khan 's view about reliability of Indian Cricket on Sehwag is less than Dravid is hard to digest. As it has proven once again that Sehwag is the only consistent perforer against pakistan after his run-a-ball double century. So I think that Sehwag is more reliable than "The Wall" at least against arch rivals Pakistan.
I just think that this article is a fake article.Because there is no comment given by Moin Khan on Media.This article is written to demoralised Indian fans & Pakistan fans to make the spirit more like enemy than as friends.
I've said his before, I say it agaiin: Rediff, please stop beating the drums of the enemy; Stop publishing enemy propaganda. Please don't cut the branch of the tree you're sitting!
Moin, as ever, is adding spice to the battle :). My two cents worth: India can win if: + Shoaib returns to his unruly best (Remember, working as a team is way too easy against England than against India. One bad session, and this Pakistan side can become as united as it has been all these years). Shoaib's hamstrings can also reduce this contest into a no-contest. There is a lot of burden on them already. + If tosses go India's way - no matter what type of pitches will be on the offer. + If Afridi opens. Sure, he can hurt occassionally. But he has a poor technique against seaming ball. Comparing him to Sehwag isn't fair. You know what Sehwag has done to Pak over the last year and a half.
Pak wins if: - Ganguly factor weighs the team down. - Flat, bald pitches are on offer. - Pakistan plays to their best and India doesnt.
All the talk of Dravid being under pressure is trash. Pressure is his second name. With Jaffer, Viru, Sachin, Laxman and Yuvraj to follow, not to forget Dhoni and Pathan, Indian batting order looks the strongest ever. Pakistan is dependent on Inzi, Yusuf to deliver. Though Butt, Younis and Malik are good, they are more of a support cast.
If you read this one, you will see more of revenge like thing, rather than analysis of series. You can make out when any spectator is asked how he is feeling about the match. One more thing, Moin Khan is comparing Sehwag with Afridi, you just look at the statisitcs, types of shots both used to play, their perofrmance against other teams, you will make out. Sehwag is far ahead from Afridi, even their respective captains also know this.
Moin just check out for the back up bowlers who have been suffering in Pakistan. Check the batting order of India.. literally goes to number nine. check for the rejuvenated Kumble who on faster tracks be as good as a medium pace bowler with no real width to play... To me it is simple Inzamam or Pakis lost!!!
Mr Moin Khan, we all know that pakistan is no match for India and how can you ever compare Sehwag to Afridi???? Sehwag has 309 where as afridi has fluked most of his centuries...afridi is consistantly inconsistant doesnt have any technique at all. Every one is fedup with this comparision time and again. Why don't pakistani's ever appretiate indian cricketer's talent surprises one and all everytime
When called to speak a word or two after match this guy cannot speak in English. I truly have this doubt, do the writers translate what they say and write? If yes,please mention it. Words are very powerful and it can make a huge difference as Javed Miandad was single handedly destroyed and had to eat his own words for his infamous words on Pathan. Who knows if he meant what he said.
