what exactly do you mean? did any pakistani player kill him or was he killed by bookie mafias...or was it a natural death?...
you fear for duncan's life from any indian or the bookie mafia?..or do you think he will die natural death...
It looks as though Amit Mishra is the best batsman in our side. I think it will be shame if he is kicked out of the team. He should be selected in the future as a batter and not as a bowler. Yesterday's performance shows that he has the technique to succeed at the highest level in the middle order of batting.

Good point. But the issue is that can we really be satisfied with flash in the pans?

I don't think that he is a flash in the pan. He played both the spinners and fast bowlers with complete ease. A complete contrast to a frightened Raina.

Well said. Someone else also noted that England was the biggest cheater.
They changed the pitch to a batting pitch when their turn to bat, and suddenly changed it to a swinging and spinning pitch when it was our turn to bat. Very unsporting, the English cheats... ;-)

But the point is that would those dismissals have changed the fate of the match or class of the teams? Even Strauss was given out off a no-ball (don't remember which match now... all of them seem to be like a bad dream.. :( But that didn't again change the class difference between the teams... When one falls other two stand up firm; v/s when one falls, the other 6 follow suit within 20 runs type of an approach...

Yes they could've. We saw what a partnership Mishra and Sachin had. Although in the end we had a collapse and a lot of time was remaining, still we could've had a chance with dravid there for a while.
don't forget also raina was given out on an inside edge.
What can Dhoni do? Imagine the amount made by bookies who predicted 0-4 whitewash for India. And they didn't leave the last day of the series. The way Sachin and Mishra were batting at lunch, who could have predicted innings victory for England? And stakes could have gone very high at lunch. otherwise from 262 for 3 to 283 all out - who can explain. Pakistanis should learn on how to fix matches from India.
