1st ODI: India vs Pakistan, Chennai, 30/12/2012 (8:30 am PST | 9:00 am IST)

[Meengla]

Hmmm. I have low hopes of a Pakistani series win--Indian batsmen are better. But so long as the results are 2-1 in either team's way AND with good competitive cricket then: Let the better team win.

PS. I am still angry at Afridi; being angry for a long time. Idiot hit a full toss straight to a fielder in the last T20 match. 26 in two overs was quite achievable had he stayed around and fired.

Pehle apne desh ki ladkiyon ko school jate time Taliban se to bacha le chuti*e.

this language doesnt suit you

no problems since pakistani players themself are the victim of same epidemic on field

white wash against england, white wash against aussies, series loss against england in your home ground and now T20 loss against Pak in your home ground

and you are talking about pakistan being the victim

well in second t20 pakistan score was ahead of india till 18 overs

but saeed ajmal cost us 22 runs in 19 overs but dinda just gave 6 runs

as far afridi he is useless batsman..no technique and skills of batting

I dont think its easy to pick now who gonna win this serious

I know right!!! Its a full toss and should have been put away. It ended up at the fielder.!

Anyway, Irfan bowling has really impressed me. I feel like after a long time we have found a very good left arm fast bowler. To get an in-form batsman like Virat kohli out after 3 deliveries, really catches my eye. On the other hand, I looked up to Dinda as a dangerous death bowler as well. We all need to becareful of him.

 

[ameer219]

Looks like the one who wins the toss is most likely to bowl first. Conditions are fit for swing and seam.

 

[RazPaK]

So is the match cancelled or what?

Will there be rain, no rain?

What's going on?

Irfan was not upto the mark in this series. he surely will be more dangrous in austrailia and england, southafrica. and if pakistan wins toss then irfan will be very dangrous as well.

i think it is clear. because cricinfo.com is saying that the captain winns toss will bowl. so hope it is clear.

guys new rules for this one day and all coming one days.
bowler allowed 2 bouncer in over.
and power plays ended for all the 50 overs.
all the 50 overs are power play
teams can only place 4 fielders outside circle.

update there is little delay in the start of the match

 

[darkinsky]

pathetic rule, absolutely pathetic, are they trying to make 400 runs out of the game, this is not T20

I beg to differ though. in the 2nd T20, he was the most economical among the bowlers at 5.0, even though he failed to get wickets. I hope he performs well in these ODI series too.

Rain is stopped but its gonna be delayed start. Ground looks good at the moment! Toss will be @ 9:30 am IST and game probably be starting @ 10 am IST.. So wait for another hour!!

 

[laiqs@mi]

8.50 am: Right, so the big news is that the toss will be at 9.30 am and the play will start at 10 am with no reduction in overs.
