Mohammad Aamer to Ponting, OUT, 139.0 kph, gone! Huge breakthrough for Pakistan and brilliant reflexes at short leg. Ponting middled his flick, but Umar Amin watched the ball and instinctively hung on. Short leg is a valuable position for Ponting, but you can't really plan for wickets like that
RT Ponting c Umar Amin b Mohammad Aamer 26 (39b 4x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
Its very good to hear that MSD has signed that deal, after all everyone on this planet has the right to earn money. However I was very surprised that M S Dhoni is been compared to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Sachin has given India consistent performance for the past 20 years and Dhoni has just started his career which is just 2 to 3 years old right. So stop comparing Dhoni with Sachin, let him sustain the pressure of international cricket and perform at the highest level.

Dhoni wins matches. Both as Captain and ODI batsman. Sachin performs but rarely able to finish to win.

sachin kindalkar, dhoni started his international career about 5-6 years ago. the past 2-3 years he has been captain of the indian team. you may be surprised that dhoni is compared to sachin who has been performing for 20 years. but sachin was also appreciated from his very first test and everybody predicted that he was going to be one of india's best even though he also did not have much experience at that time. (to tell the truth in his first couple of years sachin was nowhere nearly as spectacularly successful as dhoni was in his first 2 years, sahcin's record in his first 2 years was very similar to players of today who are also 2 years old in international cricket and much maligned by many readeres on this forum) anyway dhoni in his first 5-6 has achieved so much that even sachin in his first 5-6 years was not able to achieve that much.
