The recent visit of the Pakistan cricket team to India to bridge the long lost sports links with the hosts has cost very dearly to the hosts right in front of their own crowd on their own grounds. Although the two matches series (could hardly be called a series) of T20Is ended in a 1-1 stalemate, the ODIs have been devastating for Dhoni Inc.
Both ODIs have resulted into humiliation for the hosts, specially when Dhoni and Yuvraj had told the press before the matches that they would maul the Pakistan cricket team - this was done very loud and clear. But they had to lick every word they said about Pakistan's cricket team and its ability.
Now Pakistan dominating the Indians with a 2-0 series win, meet their hosts for the third ODI at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi on Sunday.
Would there be anyone to watch the match- specially when India fear a whitewash of the series - something that only West Indies has done to the Indians. Besides, Pakistan and Australia are the only teams to have beaten India in a home ODI series in the last 10 years.
Well I hope so as this would be the last appearance of the visitors on India for the time being.
The possible oppsoing squads for the third ODI at Dehli are:
India squad
MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, AB Dinda, G Gambhir, RA Jadeja, V Kohli, B Kumar, A Mishra, AM Rahane, SK Raina, V Sehwag, Shami Ahmed, I Sharma, RG Sharma, Yuvraj Singh
Pakistan squad
Misbah-ul-Haq*, Anwar Ali, Azhar Ali, Haris Sohail, Imran Farhat, Junaid Khan, Kamran Akmal†, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Younis Khan, Zulfiqar Babar
Shouldn't this be time Pakistan too think about bidding farewell to Azhar and aging Misbah who have not been of any help to the team so far?
The 3rd ODI is scheduled for Sunday 6 January 2013 at 12:00 local time (06:30 GMT) at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.
