No More Firepower
by Dinesh Balani on Dec 15, 2007 01:47 PM

The Pakistan Team has lost the firepower which it did possess during the time of players like WASIM AKRAM , WAQAR YOUNIS & IMRAN KHAN earlier...Infact SHOAIB AKHTARs age factor has raised his fitness concerns & he clearly lacked the firepower during the series in India... Its a new generation of players now who lack the experiance...It will take Pakistan team sometime to re-emerge again as a winning one.......For now they could be termed as underdogs during the start of any series & against the best teams in world cricket...

IRFAN AND SHOIB

Did anybody see the interrview between these two in NDTV. It is well done, but very short interview, especially Irfan's quick wit surprised me no end.

THis team represnts current mood of pak
by ninteacha on Dec 15, 2007 12:41 AM  | Hide replies

This team that came here is a true representative of Pak vis-a-vis India is concerned. Earlier pakistanis used to think they are at par with India and that reflected in their sport as well. But now things taking a U-TURN, and Pakistanis themselves are finding out that their country is no match for India, and consequently it is reflecting on their sport. That is it!!!.

PS:
By the way, I don't think there is anybody in the current team that can motivate them as captain. They should try to bring an aggressive new guy as captain and build a new team around him.

tht was with india in mid 80's and 90's! the main issue was lack of bowling attack!it has nothing to do with politics! Pak is in par with india in cricket perhaps better.every team passes thru a phase of rebuilding,isnt it enuff that pak didnt loose any series in india for 27 years? these things will happen. Had Asif Umar were fit matches wud have been intersting. 2 draws with a 2 bowlers is fair enough.they found Misbah in mid order and once the attack is complete with asif and umar things wud happen!
but ur statement showed ur mind set! think abt cricket on cricket terms!not otherwise.

Crackers!!!! for this win. forget it. This win does not deserve it. It was just a practice match for Aussie tour. Now start piggyback on Aussies now to beat us, that is ur only hope now.

And by the way, with all those wins listed, just tell me who won when it mattered most, India!!!!!!!. In crucial matches we beat the mickey out of pakistan lol

Yousuf missed out
by Krishnakumar Narayanan on Dec 14, 2007 08:05 PM  | Hide replies

Had Md Yousuf came up with his normal performance in at least two innings, the series result would have been different. Lawson was at loss to recognise the resentment among old guards under the captaincy of young Malik. It is foolhardiness to believe that India played exemplary cricket to win the series.

Actually India didn't have to play exemplary cricket to beat this Pakshitani team. An understrength Indian team playing far below its potential convincingly beat Papistan & that's the fact.

Yusaf is a class act but he didnt perform well probably lack of inspiration.
india played with its strenght!
Pak had a depleted attack! but still they did well! 3-2 and 1-0 isnt bad once u have 2 bowlers and a batting lineup with the likes of Tendu,Gangu,Dravu,Laxu and Yuvi Dhoni!
What pak lacked was the inspiration they get from their bowling spearheads!Asif Umar Shoiab wud have provided tht and sine 2 werent there the team didnt give wht they were ought to give!

Mr. JonBonJovi, u seem to stress too much on missing ur top 2 bowlers....i thought Akhtar is a world class bowler but even he was massacared...and my dear Jovi sahab, India too missed its top 2 bolwers (Zaheer & R.P.)...otherwise it would have been 3-0...right Mr. Jovi..??...lol...:)...and my advise to u is....don't go to Pakistan with that name (JonBonJovi).....the hardliners there would get u dear...lol...hahahahaha..:)..cheers buddy..:)

You are fool, india was never in a position in any of the test to loose it. It is pak who was under tremedous pressure in all the three test and they are lucky enough not to loose the series 2-0 if india could be able to bowl 10 more overs in Bangalore.
