Wow! Tfs.. i didn't know that pak team has done well against india in finals.. Pak is a very unpredictable team and pressure is something that our team can handle.. I think pak team has done well in pressure.. do u agree ?

umm...u can't say much about Pak team..
They r toooo unpredictable...(and sometimes I really luv this fact!😳😆)..
At one time, they gonna cope with pressure and produce a win out of nowhere..
at other times, u see 3 of our top order batsmen falling early and then, there's a line of wickets!!😕
There would be certain "definites" over the years like Shoaib,Asif,Gul would save our skin with the ball, Yousuf would rescue the team from an embarassing collapse. Salman Butt would give a flying start,Younus would grind the opposition down with his tenacious batting and so forth.
However the same eleven players could wake up one day and play in a manner that was hard to take for their fans, yet in a few days time that same group of players would perform admirably.😕😕

Yet again, we have witnessed this scenario. The players slated by Chairman and fans alike, yet a few days later and virtually the same group of players looked like world beaters in the trination series!😕
Pak is the kind of team which awakens after a heavy, thrashing,confidence-tearing defeat...😕😆which is soo queer...!!😆Coz other teams seem to giv up after such losses..! If u see the history of Pak team, they lose the league games or the group matches heavily; and then end up winning the tournament or ending up as runner ups!!! The 1992 World Cup is an example..this trination series is another example..
And this is absolutely opposite when it comes to India and South Africa...

i think the only problem with our team is that they cant play under pressure. Like india lost early wickets but they played well under tht pressure and lost by just 25 runs. They lost 6 wickets on 197 but still they managed to make 100 runs with their 4 wickets. I think Dhoni did really well. If pakistan loses early wickets then they lose rest of the wickets too. 😕 But my team did great in final....i simply love tht... 😳

Not to forget that umpire, Nadir Shah....who ate up as many as 3 dismissals on Afridi's bowling...The margin would have been bigger..coz those dismissals included Yuvraj and Yusuf Pathan's..

As for your point about Pakistan losing early wickets and then rest of the batsmen falling as well..., but this doesn't happen every time! If u just switch to test matches, then we cant forget that Karachi test b/w India n Pak..
If u talk about the ODi's, then the latest Pak tour of India, 2nd ODI at Mohali...Pak lost early wickets..but then they chased 322 runs and won the match!!

Yeahh!.. He was coming on my nerves..Even one of the comentator said that they respect nadir shah in a sarcastic manner..I mean even a person with no sense at all could tell that yuvi was out twice..But nadir shah decided to ignore that fact and kept on teasing afridi..Oh man did u see afridi's face?.. he was so frustrated from the umpire's decision and he had all the rights to be....Nimra, u mentioned that u lyke the fact that our team is considered an unpredictable team... Uhhh and i hate this fact coz they shud always come out as a winner , if not then they should show fighting aspiration on the pitch. But lately not even in a single match they tried to attack thier oppostion. So yes, i would rather want them to play on an attack side in the game than to see them winning occasionly. Btw tell me what ur fawad bhai said about thier experience?😃

Hey!! Nice topic sonu! Honestly, I never knew that Pakistan had a good tri-series win record against India!
But the record is good..! We must always remember that only win team cannot go on winning all the matches! They win some they lose some! We shouldn't be sad and discourage them na! Next time we will win!

I don't think pressure makes the Indian taem perform badly! Infact, I think they perform well under pressure.

Ofcourse, india played very well..👏... I was quite impressed by gambir's performance..he is a true gem for indian cricket team and probably the next big thing in indian team.. Uhmm i don't know about that..But i know one thing for sure that indian team can play better in agression..Pak team used to be very agressive when they used to play under imran,wasim and waqar's captaincy.

lol...I said 'sometimes' I luv this fact..😆coz sometimes, all of a sudden..when u r not expecting Pak to do anything....And then u see them coming up and winning the match and/or tournament!! That's kind of a surprise..😳😆
But yeah... it gets on my nerves when they become tooo unpredictable..and go down to a team like Ireland....etc..😡
and I didn't get to meet Fawad bhai... he's too busy... like even my my bro hasn't met him till now!! And it's even more difficult now...coz the Pak team camp has started from today... and then they'll be leaving for Lahore.
