India v Pakistan, 1st ODI, Guwahati, 5th Nov

Good over that by Tendulkar, just 2 off it.

Really smart bowling from Tendulkar, gets dangerman Afridi stumped for 31.

Tendulkar snares Shoaib Malik as well.

Doesn't Tendy know he's too old to be in the team?

Expensive over by Tendulkar, 13 off it.

Indian bowlers letting Pak bats off the hook, though Yousuf is batting superbly.

7/239 in 50 overs, quite a good total by Pak especially considering where Pak were 10 overs before.

Shoaib already bowling at 150Ks.

How lucky is UMB?

Dropped twice in 2 balls off Shoaib by Younis.

So Shoaib was on a moral hattrick.

India getting quite a few lucky runs.

Ganguly hits a six.

Making it a great moral comeback.

UMB again very lucky.

A faint nick, but no Pak fielder appealed.

Careless Ganguly run out, yet again.

UMB's miseries ended by Afridi.

Shoaib tipping the scales at 150Kgs.

Fixed again.

50s for both Yuvraj and Dhoni.

Yuvraj and Dhoni both gone.

There it is.

India has now defeated Pak 6 times in last 7 ODIs.

Congrats India.

I know he had to go at some point but i feel we are missing the big man a lot, our batting revolves around two batsmen who have to score big to get a decent total, even if you can get one of them we will still get a low total there's only so much one bat can do himself. The Batting is extremely weak in a way it's turning into a WI type batting lineup when Chanders and Lara were the only decent batsmen.

Malik, Misbah(even though i feel he should not be in the team) need to pull their fingers out of their arses and we need a decent opener because Akmal is not it.

I would be suprised if we win more than one match, the guys look pretty concerned too about whats going on back home.

Pak were very poor in the field, and atleast 4 catches were put down.

I read somewhere that Pak used 4 different opening combos in the ODI series against SA.

Is it true?

I was at the ground today. Was a fun day, though it's left me absolutely tired. Was F-ing hot, and this is November FFS!

When Gambhir was edging all those shots early on in his innings, the stand I was in all started singing the song "Zindagi maut na ban jaaye" from Sarfarosh.
