Pakistan vs India....... Cricket :)

Yo!
Its very exciting to watch the Pak vs Ind cricket match. India scored 328, which was a very nice score.
It was really bad that somebody from the stadium threw something on one of the Indian players. Ppl behave so foolish. This is a cricket match, and not Indo-Pak war.... Huh!

Anyways, when they gave OUT to Inzamam, even v were confused... Bechaara Inzamam! He himself dint know that he was out for "obstructing the field"...
This is what today's newspaper, Kuwait Times reads:

.....Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq earned the dubious honour of becoming only the third batsman in ODI history to be given out obstructing the field, after the compatriot Rameez Raja and Indian Mohinder Amarnath.
He was dismissed in the 44th over when he blocked the ball with his bat to stop a direct hit from Suresh Raina at mid-off.
" I can't understand the rule. First I was given run out during the second Test against England at Faisalabad (last November) when I didn't take evasive action. Today I took action and I don't know why they gave me out," Inzamam said.....




For me, it wasn't a gr8 happiness that comes with the victory of winning the game, bcoz it was a Win by Duckworth Lewis rule, which I heard for the very 1st time yesterday.

Whenever any player was out, be it Indian or Pakistani, v used to change the channel to "Star News" which v call as "Masaala News" :> Hehe. Their news are really funny mostly. Its well and good that v can read Hindi, so v can read their headlines which are damn funny!

For example, if they have to say that Dhoni dismissed Abdul Razzaq, they will put headline as "Dhoni ne dho daala!". All their headlines comprise of similes, metaphors, rhyming words, poetry kinda words. Sometimes they exaggerate alot, I think they mostly do :). Now yesterday, when somebody threw something on the Indian Player, their breaking news said something like "abhi abhi khabar mili hai k peshawar main match k beech pathraao hua hai". Then they said "hamaare saath peshawar main hamaare samwaaddaata (reporter) hain, unse latest jaankaari lete hain". Now the funniest thing was, that their reporter himself did'nt know about all this. So when he was asked about the details about pelting and why the match was stopped, the reporter was like "nahin aisa kuch nahin hua hai, match isliye ruka hai kyunke yahaan drinks break hua hai" :). Upon this, u shud've seen the newsreader's face, bcoz it proved him wrong :)

Anyways, Just hoping that which ever team wins the next match, the win shud not be by Duckworth Lewis method or whateva u call it :)
