    Guys.....Pakistan....India.....it doesnt matter.

    Australia walks over both of them. :D



    Actually, the Aussie team is playing the worst I have seen them play for atleast 10 years.

    the only stat I care about is the 0-4.

    Who the hell is even talking about Kumble anymore. he is not even one of our top five bowlers. I dont care about political battles either. My wife is Pakistani and I am Indian. But when it comes to cricket Pakistan can sux on a freakin nutt.

    are you referring to india 4, pakistan 0 in world cup cricket?
    or
    are you referring to india 4, pakistan 0 on the battlefield (1947, 1965, 1971, 1999)?

    :D

    They may be playing bad yet the heart of the team keeps them on a level par with the 2nd best side in the world. This qoute from Lee after taking a beating from the bowlers summed it up I believe.

    These group of Aussies are the most dominant team in the history of cricket. No doubt about that.

    But for Indians, beating Paki in the world cup is almost better then winning the hold thing.

    That movie is funny. They are arguing about something, then they suddenly break into song. They play cricket and suddenly break into song. They introduce a new character and they break into song. The movie was like 45 minutes long, the dance numbers ate up 2 hours 15 minutes of my life and I want that time back.

    Rox03,
    I can't wait for 2007 to roll around. Pakistan will trample India so badly that India will pull out of Kashmir.

    Keep dreaming chodu. What makes you think those b****es will beat India? Your offense sucks, Indian offense is one of the top two in the world. Your fielding is absolutely horrible. Indians are one of the best at it. Your bowling is decent, but India has five of the top up and coming bowlers in the world.

    The only real time Pakistan really wins agains India is during the Sharjah cup in Dubai. And everybody and their mom knows that Pakistan is notorious for paying of the refs in Dubai.

    And lets just leave Kashmir out of this. Has Pakistan actually ever won a war?!?!? Against anyone? :rolleyes:

    The two idiots in this thread who think cricket is not a "real sport" are the reason why some across the world call Americans "ignorant".

    Get out of the US and you will see how popular cricket is. Its probably right behind soccer and basketball.

    I think cricket is the second most popular sport in the world behind soccer.

    And I'm out of energy on arguing for Pakistan. Hopefully they'll play each other in the cup.

    LOL! :D

    I love Indian movies, but yeah...that pretty much describes every movie.

    However, there is a trend lately to make different types of movies. Its not the typical boy falls in love with girl crap anymore.
