. Hi Cricket fans in Sajhaland, 2004 FIGHT over and now, it's 2005

Ind vs Pak : 3 Tests and 6 ODIs Well ! how come the Pakistan and thefan will forget the last year's defeat on their home soil!! Let us concentrate on the current test series (and later 6 more ODIs). In Mohali, Pakistan started the 5th day just 53 runs ahead and with only four wickets in the kitty. JUST 4 WICKETS and the whole day -- India might have been delighted at a moment !!!! Under such pressure on Indian soil, the awesome effort put in by Kamran Akmal and Razzaq (184 partnership for the 7th wicket) gave Pakistan a draw in the first test. This draw is a kind of victory for Pakistan, and Inzamam cricket force will go into the 2nd test at Eden Garden with confidence oozing from their ears. Akmal, his maiden Test century (109) under pressure, has become the only second Pak wicket keeper to reach triple figures against India in Test and now will no doubt be a career man. Razzaq being on the next crease, giving him suggestion and encouragement was a great help for him and both of them saved the first test. Hats off to these guys !! It was a good performance by Balaji who took 9 wickets and that would have made him a leading contender for Akmal's man-of-the-match award. And, Congrat to Kumble on his 450th test wickets. [Sehwag,173; !!! 10dulkar,94 !!!] Still it is uncleared why Pakistan went on the battle field with just 4 bowlers. Let's see what they gonna do on Eden Garden where India have never beaten Pakistan in 5 attempts. Pakistan now enjoy the impetus. Congratulation to Inzy (57, 86), Bob et al. and good luck to the next fight in front of huge crowd.
