##Pak Vs Delhi, Tour Match##

Pak's Indian tour gets underway in another 20 min.

Manhas to lead Delhi in the absence of its regular skipper Sehwag, whose father died of cardiac arrest 2 days back.

Pak has won the toss and will be fielding first.

Gambhir already out. Why do they play Chopra in ODIs?

Chopra has scored all of 8 runs in 23 balls, while UMB would always be UMB.

Would anyone tell Chopra (15* off 40 balls) that its a 50 overs game, not a 5-dayer.

Younus gets both rocks of the Delhi batting order in consequtive balls, Chopra and Manhas.

Useless Chopra gone, Manhas too gone first ball.

Virat Kohli run-out as well. Delhi in serious trouble.

Dhawan hits a six off Shoaib.

Rajat Bhatia seems to have modelled his game on Chopra.

Don't think Chopra has ever hit a six in his life, something which Bhatia has just done.

Delhi could make only 9/213 in 50 overs.

Should have been more. Absolutely brainless running by Kohli and Dhawan, especially Dhawan. He was playing well, could easily have got a big score.

Pak were murdering the weak attack of Delhi, but have calmed down a bit now.

So Delhi won't lose within 30 overs as it seemed when Pak began.

Butt has retired hurt or just retired? What happened? Manhas couldn't have hurt him?
And why did Gul replace him? Where are other Pak batsmen??

At the second drinks interval, the score is 169/2 in 34 overs.

This Delhi attack is too weak. Though the two spinners are OK. Really need both Ishant and Nehra to bowl for them.

182/2

Why did they withdraw?

With Nehra it had to be some injury, but what happened to Ishant?

They've won it easily. Except Misbah, I think all of them looked very good in the middle.

Only positive thing came out of this match for India was that Gambhir retained his image of The UMB.

I read somewhere that Kaneria was putting Gambhir and Uthappa in the same bracket.

Watching Misbah was painful. I don't know why they bother with Imran Nazir, he'll click once in 15 games and when he does, it's more likely to be a fast 30, or a fast 40.

I think Imran Nazir is still playing for Pak because of that 150-odd he scored in that inconsequential game against Zimbabwe in WC'07.
