a true ind-pak enounter this time. it was only a practise game. i think next ind-pak finals in WC shall be after 20-30 years. for that both of them have to reach finals. highly unlikely given their inconsistency.

Federer is leading with Nadal on Grass and Carpet. Equalling on Hard and trailing on clay.

Nadal is clay king. Any player who faced him in last 4 years on clay lost. Despite Federer has beaten him twice on clay.

Because Federer faced him 4 times in French Open final(Clay court).

Sachin is biggest ever choker. Calling him backbone of Indian team is like adding insult to injury. Then what you are going to say for Kapil, Gavaskar. Scoring more runs wont make a player great. Scoring runs when it matters especially knock out matches makes a player great. Sachin is a useless player when it comes to knock out matches(exception Sharjah). He is also very conscious about records. He is the most selfish player in cricketing history. We don't require great selfish players we need team players like Yuvraj, Sehwag to win matches.

Both SA and India(In Ganguly era). However India have removed the chokers tag in last 2 years.
the sa choking is due to lack of natural talen unlike pakis. This natural talent and instincts will only help the team to get out of the fear psychosis. SA is dependent very much omn coaching which is not the solution. Natural talent identification camps should conducted in through out as to spot the same

PLEASE GIVE ME THE ADDRESS OF YOUR RESIDENCE I WILL COME TO GET ADMITTED THANK YOU KAUSHIK
SA lost because Pak played better cricket. Especially the bowling by Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal was spot on and gave no chance to the batsmen to hit boundaries. I never got the feeling they choked or got nervous. It's just that Pakistan were a step ahead right from ball one and kept the pressure throughout. They looked like they were hungry to win the cup and kept piling the pressure on the opposition. India, the defending champions and having earned millions of dollars seem the exact opposite and showed no passion or commitment to win the matches. We need to give credit where it's due. Pakistan played well and they deserved to win.

choking means consistent failure to reach finals and win titles( specially champions trophy and WC). eg we can also say Pak choke against India in world cup matches, even if match is close.
I dont want anyone pointing towards my beloved team India. So what if we lost a battle the war will be won by us only. jai bharat, jai kisan jai gandhiji and jai dhoni mahaan

Consistency matters. Despite SA have won only 1 ICC tournament is last 20 years they always considered as strong opponent because of consistency.
