4th Match, Group B: India v Pakistan at Birmingham

As a sportsman I know winning & losing are part of the game but it's painful to watch Pak being thrashed by India without putting up a fight

memo to kimber : why no mention of the TOSS ?

IMO had Pak batted on winning the Toss : during those stop and go rain breaks

think this was a FIX : need some investigation.

They won toss and field.    Sad

Check this out from CricInfo :

10am : "Tails," calls Sarfraz. Tails it is. Pakistan choose to bowl.

Sarfraz has always been a bowl-first captain    >

be it at the international level or at the PSL ..

FIRE HIM !!

Quote:Sarfraz has always been a bowl-first captain   

Dumb arse Captain : Decision is based on certain factors

NEVER premeditated

Don't bowl/field with a WET ball !! : you can see the damn RAIN

Let the oppo do that : You WIN the TOSS

the Place then DRIES out when you are to REPLY

Shhhheeeeesssshhhh >

He done

India wins in style. The 124 runs win is one of the biggest for them in the history of Champions Trophy. I think Pakistan lose psychologically against India more than based on their game. They will have to raise their game in order to stay in the race. I hope all goes well for Pakistan in coming matches.

Surely Pakistan team looks totally inexperience in handling those all situation. Even captain was looking inexperience at many places. Indian team did well in all sections. I was hopping for interesting match but it was all one sided.

BUT these bastards will not say that : their bias agaist Pak, evident >

Look at today what they say about South Africa:

"On a side note, I know South Africa like batting first, but felt

their decision at the toss wasn't right.

With weather around and the strength of chasing teams,

teams should always look to chase"

9.55pm That's right, folks, the match has been called off.

Pakistan have won by 19 runs (D/L method)

Shabash !
