Cmon helal,

even though I would have loved Harbhajan to call Symonds a monkey on his face.. the fact is he didnt, so there it is, Symo over reacted. Trust me the umpiring calls have been against us a lot of times like this, but they would have been forgotten if Harby wasnt called a racist.

Most reported player, he has always been reported against Australia, there is a reason buddy and btw you cant tell me McGrath was better behaved. You cant tell me Punter is well behaved. There is a different yardstick and that is the general feeling in the subcontinent.

Another embarassment for English Cricket.They lost to Kiwis by 190 runs.
They look like having lots of problems.For a start they should really stop pretending that Steve Harmison is a decent Bowler and chuck him out of the squad and let him come in the squad based on Current performance and not on the basis of Windies 2004.

On an easy pitch, but he threw his wicket away, at 319. Loved the innings though, it beat his 309 against Pakistan. If there is anyone who can break Lara's record its him.:stuckup:

:lol: Steyn bowled very well. How I wish Ishant was playing.

But poooooor performance, nice kick in the backside, I think they didnt expect a seaming track, which is embarassing. I mean you people would never give us a square turning pitch in SA, why should we give you the kind of pitches your bowlers can take full advantage off?:rolleyes:

Credit to SA, they bowled well and probably won the test match on day 1.

We gave you 2 slow turning pitches last time you were here. Only Joburg was green and fast, Durban and Cape Town were slow and low. Surprisingly we lost the one on the fast pitch but beat you at Durban and Cape Town.

Anyway good performance from JK and AB to put us in a good position after we nearly collapsed.

Havent been following cricket for a long time, but was surprised as shit to see the Shoaib ban, and everything else thats been happening with Pakistani cricket.

Pakistani cricket is in such a mess. Firstly Australians decided to be pu*ssies (ahh who am I kidding, we would have probably blown then away as soon as they landed in Karachi), then we dont really have to play any more games, our schedule is way too relaxed. We tried to get Srilanka, but their players are busy with IPL, and IPL didnt approve of this, as this wasnt discussed before the IPL teams made their gay bids.

Then we found the next best solution- Bangladesh. :p .

Half of our team decided to be male wh*ores, and became sell out in another one of gay Indian projects ICL. Considering ICC and PCB dont allow players who participated in the break away league to play in International matches again, I guess it means no more Imran Nazir, Muhammad Sami, Naved-ul-Hasan, Abdul Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood etc for the Pakistani team. I hope ICL doesnt make shit, has to break away all of these players contracts, and we see these players begging on the streets in Lahore, where passer by would just spit on them, rather than giving them change.

And now the Akhtar ban, this guy is such a big big idiot, words cannot describe it. It was completely right of PCB not to give him a contract, since he is a complete whack job. Then he decides to criticize the board, and boom, here is a 5 year ban for you mate. Too harsh maybe, but I never wanna see Akhtar play for Paksitan again, so it doesnt really matter. Akhtar's problem arose, when it became clear that he couldnt play in IPL as well. He started crying on how much money he was gonna loose before of that. That idiot just to show his loyalty to Paksitan, claimed that he had been offered money to throw away games in India and S.Africa. ICC got pissed of at this, as he is supposed to report these incidents, even if these declarations are indeed true, ICC might ban him for 5 years, for not reporting these incidents. !!!!!

Then he criticizes the board chairman, and says that Naseem Ashraf asked him a cut from his IPL money. When he didnt give it to him, he became angry, and thus decided to suspend him. PCB have now sued Akhtar for defamation and libel for $3mill!!!!. An amount which I am guessing that Akhtar probably doesnt even have. He is just digging himself in such a deep hole.


Also fun fact about ICL, it was such a flop late last year, this season they invited a team completely constiting of Paksitani players called LAhore Badhsah. The ratings this season have improved, only because Indians are intrested in seeing a Pakistani team loose. This is how pathetic the idea is, they are trasforimng ICL in to an international league.

I really really pray that both ICL and IPL and what ever new fu*ck comes out, becomes an economic disaster. Indians are trying to do with cricket, what EPL did with football, which is quite sad. I dont even know how the fu*ck can they afford to pay so much to the players, in a country where 25% of the population lives below the poverty line earning less than 50 cents a day.

It just depends on how many idiots they can find around the globe, who will love the gay stadium lights and fast paced cricket. Kind of like what EPL did. Indian media is pretty strong, even though probably not half as strong as English media. Also soccer is a world wide game. Cricket is followed in 10-14 countries.

It depends on IPL will succeed outside India. I couldnt care less how many PAksitani players are playing in it, I'll never watch it. Its a dumb tournament, and why would I give a fu-ck if Kolkota Hard Riders beat Delhi Dildo's or if Chennai Co*ck Suckers beat Mumbai Masturbators?? I dont feel any passion in supporting any of the teams

I hardly doubt Indians will themselves pick a team to support. Each of the cities team has very little to actually do with that city. They have just gathered a bunch of random players to make money.

Also lol @ copying every other name that is used in American sports. "Delhi Giants". FFS!!!!!!

Yeah it was an embarassment.But the sad part is that Nobody will give a damn about it in India in a few weeks from now.Somehow performances against SA are usually not really cared about.This IPL thing is gonna take over and Indian Media will just report over our Heroics in Australia for over 5 years from now.

But these are the field days for our Media guys.One Channel showed how Indian players were busy dancing and stuff for IPL Promotional events just days before the Test Matches while the Proteas were practising hard.

Anyways Great performances by the SA'ans.You got a real beauty in Dale Steyn.

But in Kanpur where the next test match will take place there will be a mostly Spinning beauty that the SA'cans so hate.And Series win is still a distant dream.:D

Indians might be commercialising the sport Cricket but it is popularising the game which lacks the popularity around the Globe.EPL is doing shit to already a highly popular stuff.

:D.Sounds like jealousy.

25 % is a exaggeration.Might be around 10 or 15 %
But trust me our Rich guyz are filthy rich.

If you prepare a spinning pitch it means the pitch will be rough which means reverse swing which means Steyn comes into the game even more.:D

Dude we are going to play 3 spinners, I'm quite sure about that if Kumble is fit.

Reverse swing or not, its not going to be easy for SA, even you know that.

Your key is getting the Indian batting to colapse. Do that and you have won the series because at the most we might get a draw that way.

Each franchise has been alotted a regional Superstar.Like Mumbai Has Sachin Tendulkar.Bangalore has Rahul Dravid(Ironically it would for all the other player but Dravid for whom Public will go to a 20-20 match).Apart from that local players also form the part of the squad.

Its gonna be fun.Screaming and stuff.Wish i could go to atleast 1 match but lets see Time Kitna Milega.
