As expected I think it will be series between yousuf and younis representing Pakistan and India on the other hand. They are going to feel the pinch of Inzamam not being their as that guys was very adaptable. I would definitely value him more than even Tendulkar as he had a cool head and could finishes matches without much ado. But unfortunately for our Tendulkar the ball somehow keeps low and he is bowled or LBW in a pressure situation( Ball seems to do funny things only for him that is what our commentators make us believe) they are biased as far as Dravid is concerned he is not even given a fair chance to prove himself how many times should he prove himself good only knows. India is winning because we have one Kar less in Agarkar if he was around Pakistan could have easily reached 280 and we would have lost the match. Pathan did a terrific job in controlling the middle overs. I think he is a better utility cricketer than Agarkar and I also feel they should look beyond Tendulkar why not when they do it for Dravid. I agree Dravid can be slow but at least he is a better finisher than Tendulkar when we chase down scores

You seem not to know that Sachin is a opener and please enlighten me how many times an opener has finished the match when the total is above 225..Rarely. Sachin plays his part most of the times. 29 out of his 40 ODI centuries is for winning cause. His career strike rate is 85. You are right pakistan coul have reached 280 had Sachin not removed Afridi at a crucial time.
Many 'kar's are great and many are not so great i guess you hate all kars How about veer savarkar

Hitesh Sharma, Do u remember semi final of world cup 1996?? How much was the target before Indian team??? And what happened to Sachin Tendulkar at that time??? The matches sachin would have won with his batting are countable on fingers : Sharjah Cup against australia...tht's it!!! How many big tournaments have we won because of Sachin's batting?? How many world cup we have won because of Sachin?? Mind you Sachin has played 5 world cups.

Inzimam also batted at number 3 and won the match many times. I can also give you an example of Bangalore match in the last tour of pakistan when Sachin was not opening and India were truly on course of winning the series 1-0 with only a post tea session pending. Then all of sudden following Sachin's advise they went into a shell which allowed Inzimam to bring all the fielders in and Kaneria won the match for them and levelled the series. I hope you understand that the character of our senior cricketer rubs on to your team. I am still a big fan of Tendulkar only thing is I feel sometimes he is bit selfish. I dont have anything against kars only few kars like Vengsarkar who has different ways of judging people. I felt Dravid matter could have been dealt in a better way
