wow what a match it was.. Thats called playing for the team !
 
India lost to Australia in the 1st ODI by 4 runs & Pakistan lost by 7. Both games were lost in the last over. Both cases lower order batsmen did well but failed at the last hurdle. But this defeat is considered a team effort but not the one by Praveen & Harbhajan in the 1st ODI?
 
India had 3-4 wkts but still lost the match,but pak had just last wkt and still managed 103 runs.we know harbhajan and praveen can bat if they use some sense.On the other hand Pak has aamer and ajmal both new to ODI with less than 50 matches each and they showed grit during their stay.I was not expecting them to Win as i know just one false shot or good ball will finish the game as it was last wkt.
 
Well the Indian pair had just 61 balls to score 92 & Pakistan had 101 to score 111. So that also needs to be taken into account.
 
still the runs were more and wkts were less.Both the innings were good the pak pair reply was just little better to indian chase.
 
I agree Pakistan effort was better , but disagree that there was no team effort involved in the India match, just trying to highlight that any effort put by our team tends to be taken for granted which should not be the case

If they had little common sense they would have won at Hyd match.
Also look at last match when they got out for 170..just see the last 2 dismissals of Nehra and Munaf.. playing far away from body as if they will be blown away with the ball.. if they had struck around then praveen kumar would have got another 20runs of last 2 overs and it could have been better..

I am not saying all this as i know "if and buts" dont count.. but just want to show that Indian tailenders never uses their brains to just stick to wicket when needed.. they only wag in lost cause matches..
