Who can ever forget Inzi, with 3 runs required to win off 6 balls, non-chalantly straight batting the first five deliveries from Sachin before slashing the final one for four. <BR/><BR/>What drama!O2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11566153075582798189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-84570621545015663902007-11-04T08:43:00.000+04:002007-11-04T08:43:00.000+04:00Younis Khan supports my idea of an Ashes like seri...Younis Khan supports my idea of an Ashes like series between India and Pakistan.

Initial euphoria has definitely dies down with 4 series between the 2 teams in as many years.<BR/><BR/>I think the 2 should play every 2 years, just like the Ashes, but i guess both the boards are making up for the time lost in the 15 years prior to 2004...<BR/><BR/>I've been reading the Indian media going crazy over Dravid's exclusion. It is for only the first 2 ODIs and he will most definitely be back for the last 3, but just like the majority I too am against his absence from the squad. I think the Indian selectors got a couple of other things wrong as well, as I mentioned in my previous blog on the flawed selection of the Indian squad:<BR/><BR/>http://www.wellpitched.com/2007/10/indias-selection-flawed.htmlQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-49687260817933697432007-11-02T17:38:00.000+04:002007-11-02T17:38:00.000+04:00Great, I cant wait either :) I have a piece in min...Great, I cant wait either :) I have a piece in mind on Dravid's exclusion and have my own theory... look out for it on the weekendobaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686432822347334520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-34989659172498472222007-11-02T15:48:00.000+04:002007-11-02T15:48:00.000+04:00Obaid,We are just waiting for the fireworks to sta...Obaid,<BR/><BR/>We are just waiting for the fireworks to start.<BR/><BR/>BTW, over here, we are obssessed with Dravid's exclusion.Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.com
