Pakistan's Tour To India - Cricket Series


Recommended Posts

Ouch, what a horrible match, At least we should be competitive, Its not like we are a "B" Team, but after this performance you never know :(

Latest: Pakistan 93-0 (10 overs) Target: 250. How can one person score 6 sixes in the first 10 overs

edit:

Shahid Afridi hit a stunning 102 off 46 balls as Pakistan looked well poised to beat India in the fifth one-day international in Kanpur.

I can't watch this :angry: :cry:

:yes: Inshallah!

What a marvellous effort that was!!!!... Pakistan Zindabad!!! :D :D

Man of the match: Shahid Afridi :cool:

The 6th ODI will be played on 17th april 2005 at New Delhi... :yes:

Why india lost?

Bad team selection, IMO. Why we need to have two spinners playing? We have

1. Sachin

2. Yuvraj

3. Sehwag

4. Dinesh mongia

as part time spinners. Why needed a 2nd spinner? Also dravid made three of the above 4 bowl, except yuvraj.

Also commentators were saying that the pitch dint have much for faster bowlers, but rana naveed and Iftikhar Anjum bowled very well. Even zaheer bowled well, even though he dint take any wickets.

We should have played VVS laxman and nehra in this match instead of mongia and harbajan singh.

Why was hemang badani not selected? He is playing so well in the domestic crickets , in ranji cup ODI. (Tamil nadu- UP tie in the final)

Pakistan was able to bat so well, but we couldn't do much. :(

Hope we win in New delhi...

Mongia played quite well,so I don't think that he is the reason India lost the match,

The main reason is stupid bowling.Everyone knows that Afridi likes well pitched up deliveries.Yet Balaji kept feeding him there.So Rahul was forced to bring on the spinners and Afridi took those spinners to the cleaners.

Once Afridi gets going it can be really difficult to stop him.

Afridi's weakness is of the short of the length deliveries.Srinath used to bowl really well to him.

Anyway,allthough i am an Indian I really enjoyed his innings(after the initial few overs when i realised that India isnt gonna win this).It was a treat.

Afridi sure proved everyone's thoughts wrong....he's again put himself in the main news by scoring the 2nd fastest century in ODIs. He's simply too good when the day is his, took the game away from India inside the first 10 overs.

We're taking this series 4-2 now hehe :yes:

What did Afridi just do?, we do expect him to score fast but for about 30-40 runs, thats where he ends, but what the hell was that. Indian's already suffered at their batting, and Afridi was there to add insult to injury.

Well I'd say this was not a competitive match, but really enjoyed the Afridi's innings. By the tenth over, Indian bowlers were too beaten to continue with a proper line and length. To my surprise, Salman Butt looks stable, his century I guess was good enough to give him some confidence, really the guy is pretty un-noticed among all others, but he's adding 50 runs to the total, which is not a bad score at all.

Lets see what happens at Dehli....

Well... It will be a great news for every Pakistani... If Pakistan win the series... and that will be very good in confidence of the team and in order to build the team in a proper way...

Best of wish for the 6th ODI match against india... Prayers from every Pakistani...

We're taking this series 4-2 now hehe :yes:

:yes: Lets Pray for 4 - 2... Inshallah!! (Y)(Y)

Let's take this series 4-2 and make another record by being the only team to have win 4 matches in a trot after being 2 down in a 6 ODI series, previously South Africa did it against us and so did Bangladesh against Zimbabwe.

All i said was laxman would have been a better replacememnt ot ganguly or even hemang badani..., i dint say mongia dint play well...

And afridi played well, he is in a good form and always plays aggressive cricket. We cant say we dint bowl all the 45 bad/loose deliveries to afridi. He played well , the groud is a small one, the out field is fast, and afridi made that to his advantage...

Afridi sure proved everyone's thoughts wrong....he's again put himself in the main news by scoring the 2nd fastest century in ODIs.

He proved everyone (me & Geoff Boycott included) right. Afridi is unstoppable when he is "in the zone".

He's simply too good when the day is his, took the game away from India inside the first 10 overs.

The problem with Afridi is that his "day" comes every two years :rofl: Consistency is the only thing stopping him from being a permanent cap in the Pakistani team.

And I disagree with you, it was Rana who took the game away from India with the top 3 wickets. Once Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dhoni were gone .. the possibility of a 300 plus total was out of the window.

Let's take this series 4-2 and make another record by being the only team to have win 4 matches in a trot after being 2 down in a 6 ODI series, previously South Africa did it against us and so did Bangladesh against Zimbabwe.

How does that make Pakistan the only team when it had already been done by two teams on two different occasions. :wacko:

exactly....those were 5 match series....this is a 6 match series :). Despite those 3 early wickets the indians still had a fighting total on a pitch where the average score is 222. Before afridi came into bat even i thought that chasing 250 on that wicket would be really difficult specially in the middle overs. Afridi had something else in mind and it paid off.

Afridi is making runs on a consistent basis now. He almost destroyed McGrath and co. He is consistently making 30-50 runs quickly, (anything more than 50 is bonus) which takes some pressure off of middle order batsmen.

This do-or-die kind of batting can help.

Afridi is far from consistent. But it's always entertaining when he is playing. I wouldn't be surprised if he got out first ball later today :p

I was watching the highlights for the 5th ODI yesterday because I didn't get to see the game live. Wow, I mean he literally destroyed the Indian bowlers. And he got out trying to play his first defensive stroke :p Now that's irony.

What if Shahid Afridi beats his old record (102 in 37 balls) what if he hits a 200 in 90 balls, what if Pakistan scores over 350... What if india still wins. Who do you all think will be the MVP of the game tomorrow besides Shahid Afridi and Naveed-Ul-Hasan... :D

Who do you all think will be the MVP of the game tomorrow besides Shahid Afridi and Naveed-Ul-Hasan... :D

Cricket is a game where a king today is a beggar tomorrow ;) Anybody out of the playing 22 could be the MVP.

My picks would be Sehwag, Tendulkar, Youhana & Malik.

well i must say the pakastanis have humbeled us & the only way to set them right , wouldnt be to only defeat them in Delhi , it would be to Defeat them real sorry .

BTW im too going for the match , nice to catch it live !!!! ;)

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
