FIRST OF ALL CONGRATULATIONS TO 'PAAP'-KISTAN FOR A RESPECTABLE DRAW......
Misbah-ul-haq has again proved his great skill as a rescuer for pakistan........He has again shown unpakistani discipline in his batting...........greatest in the recent times...........one of the greatest knocks in the situation..kamran akmal had well accompanied him and has saved 2nd test against india.he did a similar feat in mohali 2 years back with abdur razaaq...........and ofcourse that situation was well more demanding.............younis khan's heroics against india continued and he with yousuf landed pakistan safely.............full points to pakistan after losing the grip and jumping back with a good fight............
Counting India's points.........2-0 lead would have been much better than 1-0 what we have right now..............differences in attitude that india has shown have proved again fatal for the team........Dhoni's knock in first innings was a miserable given the circumstances............the same position is better cpaitalised by australians to get run rate over 5-6 and inida on other hand could score only at 3.50(78 in 23 overs) which was again lowerer than the current rate......dhoni's initial 25 of 60(finally 50 off 82) proved the sense he had when he arrived at the scene.................it looked like he is out there to improve his stats...........the same situation for australia would have yielded 60 runs more(watch the sme instance against sri lanka a fortnight back).........second innings also had the same story playing at rr around 4-4.5 also was below par(181 in 43 overs)....................short again by 40-50............when we sum up the whole thing target of 335 could have been easily made 380-390 with some extra overs left for us to bowl the most indisciplined 11 of the world..........................a 2-0 scoreline would have made the perfect stage for the final assault in banglore....................back into the 4th innings pakistan still showed its talent at 78-4 but indians could not capitalise the situation............but although it was difficult to knock pakis out in 80 overs............somebody had to stand and that came late by 5th wicket.............
To sum up the game.................india dominated the test and were always the favorites(but the holes are still wide open)...............no change in aggression..................pakistan came from the back and could make a respectable final score............i give 60 to india and 40 to pakistan..................
