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

[Sugarcane]

Pakistan played with 12 players. 12th man was India's 5th bowler who gave away 76 runs off 10 overs. Well done India

 

[aks18]

now next two ODI's will have a flat pitch and it will be 300+ score matches and india will win

Man of match should n given to someone who played important role for win..here it was because of junaid they were 29/5 so he desver the credit in my book

That's not a rule, win is not a prerequisite. MS really played very well, he deserved man of the match award.

Link to Indian Madia please.

You are evil

This defeat is not going to farewell among Indian army.
As we speak they are mulling plans to murder Pakistan fast bowlers... wait and see what they come up with.

Was this necessary ? Don't ruin the mood over here.

 

[Raja.Pakistani]

Man of the match means the guy that stood out in the match. Not the guy who stood out on the winning side. A team that was down 29/5 ended up at 228/6.

Well it make sense to give him man of match if india won

if he scored century then so did nasir jamshid..boht were important but nasir century lead his team towards victory and thats what make difference

Never knew it is that humid in Chennai, players were struggling.

 

[Safriz]

Misbah must be man of the match..
He got himself out just in time to make way for real batsmen..

He could have 'tuk tuk' Pakistan to their defeat,but he 'chose' not to..
Thanks misbah...for getting out

 

[PARAS]

I don't think Pakistan deserved to win this ! Had it not been for three poor decisions by umpires , the game would have been ours ! All the hard work by Dhoni was wasted . Pakistan is not gonna be so lucky everytime with umpiring decisions !
But anyway , congrats Pakistan ! But the series will be India's !

Of course Dhoni must come up with a better option in his next game. BTW how did u know Dhoni joined the Army?

Three wrong decision lol

as far i.know it was just one.that also.intentionally which happen alot in cricket

On another note, I really hope Misbah improves himself. Both batting and Fielding. Did you see how that failed catch resulted in Dhoni inflating form 16 to 113? How his failed bowling decisions also spiralled up India's score? And how he got out to Ishant Sharma caused a bit of jittery? He is really playing dangerously. Sometimes I wish our captain was Dhoni.

My 6 years nephew often presents these excuse whenever his team lose. Grow up man, it's international cricket not a cricket of galli.

Aw! Really a nightmare playing under such conditions!
