Pakistan's Tour To India - Cricket Series


Recommended Posts

What an awesome performance by middle & low order of Pakistan batting line up. Being behind 204 in the first innings, and again being 10-3 in the second innings. Attack was led by Inzamam with 86 & Youhana with 68. Kamran Akmal & Abdul Razzaq did wonders with (109 & 71 ) when we were 241-6, no one could have imagined the result that we are seeing now as Pakistan have managed to fight from an impossible position to declare at 496-9 in their second innings. This is Pakistans highest team total on the Indian soil with Kaneria being the first Pakistani leg-spinner to capture 5 wickets in an innings in India.

India needing 293 to win with 25 overs left in the last days play.

A job well done Pakistan Team. Totally Committed Performance (Y) (Y)

I dont think australia are any good any more either, even new zealand are a challenge for them. 

new zealand, a challenge ? obviously you didn't hear about the 5-0 series white wash of them in the one dayers by australia. the only game they challenged us was in the first game, the rest were easy wins

  Also dont use the word paks as it is offensive to some people.

why not it's just like calling the british brits. or australians aussies

I was actually talking about the test match thats happening right now. Plus it depends in which way you actually use the word paks, if you use it as an abbreviation for pakistanis then it is totally acceptable.

It would be nice if we had won, we had the upper hand through most of the match. Good for Pakistan. It was a great game to watch.

Loooking forward to the next one.

OT: Has everyone in the UK been able to subscribe to Sony TV to watch the Cricket?

10/3 in the second innings wasnt as bad if you consider that the opening pair and the one down batsman of Pakistan are novices. I wouldnt call it an "impossible" situation because:

a. It is India, not famous for bowling out their opponents.

b. The pitch wasnt a "turner" and did not detereorate. Hence pitch on Day 5 was same as Day 1.

Agreed. :yes:

The test match is finally over and the result is a draw. I think Pakistan played better overall

Played better ? India had a 200+ run lead in the first innings, Pakistan was 10/3 in the second innings and literally played to save the match. :whistle:

India should have won but pakistan lower-middle order and the tail batted really well. They were leading for 4 out of the 5 days and when a team does that it should win the match but again congrats to pakistan for pulling off an unexpected draw. Can't wait for the second test. It should have a lot more atmosphere because they're playing at Eden Gardens in front of 100,000+ people. I think that Khan should be dropped and Harbajan should take his place. Nothing wrong with the batting (apart from ganguly, but you can't really drop the captain).

Qasim are you trying to be funny with your postsor are you being serous? i hopes it's the former.

Also i heard that Balaji got fined for excessive appealling. I didn't really see him appeal too much but then i didn't wake up at 4.30 to start watching.

cricket is my life :p

it's mainly popular in india,pakistan,australia,england, sri lanka, bangladesh and new zealand. i have probably missed some but they are the main countries

it's very popular in the West Indies and it's farily popular in South Africa but it is losing the crowds.

Yes, 30% of his match fees. :p

Dont know why? I dint feel, it was excessive appealing.

And yes, harbajan should be brought instead of Zaheer khan. Can't wait...

Tomorrow it starts again. I love the eden gardens, seen quite a few matches there. Fantastic ground.

Re: Balaji, there was some excessing appealing but come on, he was off injured for a year so they should cut him some slack but a great performance from him nonetheless.

Yeah I heard they were going to play three seamers also. Should be interesting what team they pick. We'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Its going to be an early morning tomorrow.

go india go ................this time i hope our batting is as good , our bowling improves & the pakis dont get anymore flukes !!!

btw i have a feeling that the bike given to kamran akmal is a second hand one ......any guesses why ??? ;)

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
