India Pakistan 2009 series confirmed ?

Is India vs Pakistan 2009 series confirmed ? Says Yes !! Pakistan Daily Times

Pakistan will be hosting one three-day match, three Test matches, five one-day matches and one Twenty20 international. The tour will be between January 4 and February 24. This will be India's eighth tour of Pakistan.

As ICC tournament is postponed, this series is good for host Pakistan as the last test match they played is in 2007 series when India hosted the series. In 2006 when India visited Pakistan, Pakistan surrendered badly in ODIs with Dhoni, Youvraj, Sreesanth leading the rout. However India lost test match by a margin of 341 runs.

The arch rivals clash is always an interesting one but with fragile Pakistan team the encounters have become one sided matches. Hope Pakistan will have reversal of fortune in 2009 series.

If Pakistan is hosting then Zee Sports America will telecast this series in North America.

2008 October Australia series dubbed more important than playing against Pakistan

Tendulkar started the obvious fire by saying India vs Australia series much bigger than playing against arch rivals Pakistan.

Is that statement true ? I feel so it is just Pakistan does not have that fire in it any more as a team as it used to be is the conclusion I drew from Sachin's claim. Of course Australia with its bad boys behavior feeding the fuel to the fire in recent years under the leadership of Ponting (that's another long post in coming days)

Pakistan's lost glory
Even though betting and huge crowds are witnessed in any match against Pakistan, recently (from 2001) Pakistan has lost its flare to fight back. The yester year players - Imran Khan, Miandad, Wasim Akram, Abdul Quadir made sure they fought until their last breath (Figuratively). The less recent team of Saed Anwar, Amir Sohail, Inzamam, Izaz Ahmad kept the momentum going on and made sure they gave their best when playing against India.

A match between India and Pak used to be a war like atmosphere with sweet, rude and un gentlemanly behaviors on and off the ground.

1986 Sharjah: Miandad hit Chetan Sharma off six from last over



1989 Tendulkar vs Quadir

Tendulkar himself will not forget lifting the Quadir for sixers. Pakistanis unwelcoming crowd kindled then 16 years old Sachin with placards saying “Doodh Pitha Bhachcha ..ghar jaake dhoodh pee”, (kid, go home and drink milk), Sachin took then young leg spinner Mustaq Ahmed for a ride sending two sixes in one over. The frustaded guru of Mustaq Abdul Qadir challenged Sachin saying ” Bachchon ko kyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar dikhao` (`Why are you hitting kids? Try and hit me.`). Quadir. I hope Qyadir did not sleep that night with his over stats 6, 0, 4, 6, 6, 6. That was back in 1989.

1992 Miandad vs Kiran More



March 1996 world cup incident when Prasad taught a lesson to Sohail.



That was the last incident of 1996 I can recall other than Twenty20 close final. Compared to 90s matches with Pakistan it is matches with Aussies in 2000s that gets more interesting. Why Tendulkar ? Haha he has to complete is record of 77 runs to surpass Lara.

Here are few options available for Asia Cup 2008 live streaming sites.

Willow TV - The official live streaming site


Willow.Tv is the official site which is having live streaming as well as videos section and in case if you missed this great game you can watch replays from there.

England vs Pakistan Oval test umpire Hair ball tampering penalty video

With the recent Bucknor wrong umpiring decisions, Umpiring is being criticized and all notorious umpires of the past is now coming into limelight.
Top of this list is umpire Darrell Hair.

4th Test: England v Pakistan at The Oval, Aug 17-20, 2006

At the end of over 55 Umpire Hair awarded five extra runs to England and penalized with ball tampering.

After tea Pakistan refused to come on to ground to play in protest. A hour later they decided to play and umpires refused to come on to play. A big drama and another controversy in the Hair's bag.

Bob Woolmer (then Pakistan coach who died during 2007 world cup) announced at that time: "The team is upset by the inference they have been accused of tampering with the ball and therefore cheating. It is a no-win situation as the umpires refuse to come out."

First time in Test history that a win was awarded by the match officials



Quote from Cricinfo :

"Things came to a head in August 2006 when he was at the center of a ball-tampering storm at the Oval when Pakistan forfeited a match for the first time in Test cricket's 129-year history and, in November, he was banned from umpiring by the ICC following pressure from the Asian bloc"

Irish folded the match quickly to go home and do their full time jobs.

None of the Irish stars put up any decent effort to win this match.Porterfield who anchored and won the match for IRE against Banglas with his patient 85 looked like he will do the same with his slow batting today.Another Niall O'Brien's with his two catches and 72 runs against Pakistan put Ireland to reach Super Eight fell for Murali.OBrien 's excellent performances will leave bad memories to Pakistan for years.

Irish had lot to learn lot from this particular game so as to improve their future ODI rankings.Irish should watch and learn how AUS plays Murali.

Maharoof and Murali made Irish return to home quicker by sharing quick four wickets each.I expected SL will finish this match by 10 wickets. Tharanga's poor form continued in this match and his batting average is 14.00 with just 125 runs in this world cup. Only Jaya Surya is having excellent run so far for SL in this world cup with 351 runs.

SL should improve their top batting order to have any chances to continue their winning streak in the semi finals and finals.

Congratulations to Ireland for getting ODI cricket status for victory over Pakistan in the group stages and their 74-run triumph over Bangladesh in super eight.

Good Bye Ireland, you have your friends( (England) waiting to fly back with you.
