Shoaib from outside looks like a merc benz but inside he is all good ol' 1960 model Ambassador which breaks down once every 10 miles. Poor Pakis, forget about winning in bangalore now. Dinesh Karthik should make most of the opportunity like yuvi singh and atleast make a 50 to secure a ticket to australia.
Asif would have been really good new ball bowler and would have caused quite a few problems to Jaffar/Karthik/Gambhir. Also, he is got an excellent temperament unlike Akhtar.
India in a way have been lucky...but that's not to take away some excellent performance by VVS, Saurav & now Yuvi!

Respect what?
Anyway, Brett Lee is a fast bowler too and haven't seen breaking down as often as Akhter does. Akhter is basically out of shape. He is just blown balloon without any fitness..lol
Anyway, what do we care.. that's porki's problem..
He runs a long distance and finally goes out of fuel after few overs...wats the use...its all just the hype and few quick wickets that he gets very rarely he is gud for....nyways gud for India :)
I recall a comment by Ashok Malhotra on TV when Shoeb's selection was announced. He had said that Shoeb's selection will work to India's advantage as he will prove to be a liability for Pakistan's team. Today I find he stands vindicated.
Guys our Team India should take advantage of the fitness problems of Pak team and win the series 2-0. Forget about their team problems and lets pray for Team India to finish the Series on Winning note and wish them Good Luck for Australian Tour.

india can only win if opponent team is injured and if they r 100% indian team would have been injured by a huge defeat....
Ask any Indian batsmen playing in the test about a bowler who they fear... It is undoubtedly Akhtar... Even in flat, placid pitches... Good or bad, he is one bowler who taunts the batsmen all over the world, even in their dream... Stars have bad time... often...
In one of his interview ,i heard him saying that " I was the superstar from the first ball that i bowled with Wasim and Waqar in the same team" ....now that one proudy comment ... isn't it???? and he's good enough actor to be work in the film with lead role " Joker from Sarhad Paar" ..... how the title...
