India's tour to pakistan

This could easily be the dullest series between india and pakistan in the recent times. I think pakis were in the assumption that they can make batting pitches,score as much runs as possible and get the indians out with their so called pace attack. But it did not seem to work for them except in the first innings of the third test. when i am keying in this india's second innings has not been played yet.

One striking thing about the indian batting is the composure the indian batsman showed in their batting. Every one who went out spent enough time in the middle and took care their avarages are not damaged. One exception to his rule will be sachin tendulkar.

Irfan pathan's hatrick in the third test could not have come at a better time for him.his bowling was suddently at the cross roads when he missed his ability to swing the ball back to the right hander.If he is able to reproduce those magical deliveries then he can increase his tally of wickets soon.


There is nothing unusual about sehwag's sizzling display and Rahul dravid's
copybook batting techniques. Thing that stood out was Saurav's batting in the third test. The way he faced the challenge from pakistan bowlers was so good. He seemed to have rediscovered his form he had in the earlier years of his career.Those 'treat to watch' off drives from the lord of offside can be seen soon if everything goes well for him.

The indians have managed to mock shoaib akthar' bowling. They are yet to breach the batting walls of pakistan. YOu guessed it right.. Younis khan and mohammad yousuf( yousuf youhana). These two guys have an amazing run against india. Lets hope atleast in the next series the indians will find a way to restrict these guys.

Azhagiya kanavu

Muthal muthalai unnai paarthapothu

Koovum kuyil aadum mayil
