India - Pakistan Triangular series

[Tee]

That batting just took the piss. I hate days like this!!

Think Pakistan have got a tactic of going 30 overs without losing wickets and scoring slowly but then go for it in the last 20 overs. Wont always work, especially if a team goes crazy in the first 20 to 30 overs on a good batting track

I think that Pakistan are just not good enough right now. Far too inconsistent performers all round, however I agree that the opening 20-30 overs are too cautious - maybe that is down to low confidence though.

I think India on the other hand play with supreme self belief and it really shows - they are enjoying their cricket and that is what Pakistan need to do.

I said ages ago that Suresh Raina was the next big thing

He has been amazing in the first 3 games (300 runs)

a new hero in the making...

He played in the one-dayers against England in India a few years ago at about 5 or 6 and was awesome. Fell away a bit after that but seems to be coming back strong now. Without a doubt though, I think the best batter in the team at the moment is Gambhir. Awesome opener and has come on leaps and bounds now that he is being given a regular run

[Jayesh87]

It's funny how Sachin was at Wimbledon yesterday and Ganguly was at Lords, i wonder what Dravid was doing

Personally i think Sachin should still be in the team at no.3-

Shewag
Gambhir
Tendulker
Raina
Youvraj
Y Pathan
M.S Dhoni
I Pathan
Chawla
RP Singh/Sreesanth
Sharma

And potentially Ganguly in for Yousif Pathan, that would be an immense side imo, well except the bowling

another huge knock for him today, though only against the Bangla attack.

get with it skip!

Forget Sreesanth...the guy is useless. Too erratic to be in the one day team. Yuvraj is wasted at 5 also. Think it's time to go for the new generation. Although apparently Yuvraj is going to undergo knee surgery again

The batting order is flexiable my friend!

MS knows what he is doing

Yuvraj isnt that old (27?) and Sree is still young, will learn to control his talent.
But I do agree, we do need to fast track the kids through now

[Sarb]

Nah I meant Yuvraj should be at No. 3. Love the guy..class batsman
