Lessons to be learnt by India and Pakistan supporters !

Tone down your rhetoric, jingoism and "bombast" so as to avoid ending with feet in mouth, egg on face and face flat on the ground !!

Treat your teams as ordinary humans that they are who will sometimes do well and sometimes badly and your opponents as worthy opponents who will also do better than your heroes at times.

The fact of the matter is that neither of the two sides are world beaters that both side's supporters would have us believe, nor are they the worst in the world as they are claimed by their opponents the moment they lose one match.

Dont you guys care for your own credibility one bit ??

Whatever it takes!!!
I was one of those who predicted 2-0 and even though I never doubted the fact that the Pakistan side would be playing with a lot of spirit, I think their skill, esp. in handling Kumble and Harbhajan surprised me, pleasantly. And quite frankly, I think the series result is a very fair reflection of the two sides' strength. And no, I never used bad terms to describe the pakistan side. I thought that because of their inexperience, they might lose to guys like Kumble and Bhajji, but they have showed that they have got more moxie than I thought. :)

but a few seconds ago you claimed that it was inexperienced..... strange
the side is clearly not inexperienced either, their squad has very experienced players in it like inzi, youhana, malik, rana...etc..

Rana is not experienced. This side, esp. the bowling, is definitely inexperienced and it is to their credit that inspite of not having too much experience to fall back on, they were able to deliver the goods.

Thanks.

These guys will emerge if India win the first two one dayers. God forbid if India loses they may not surface for a month or so, not under the same names at least :p

Atleast i didn't OPPOSE India travelling to Pakistan to play test seties last year!! You were the ONE who wanted the series to be called off 8-) . Going by that you shouldn't even be commenting on Indo-Pak series 8-)

Pretty stupid :@
I have been around much before you were here, India have lost many matches during that time, even to countries like Zimbabwe.

You win some and you lose some. Simple.

I'll stay here for long mate, irrespective of outcome of matches!

Kochi was great, biggest win ever against Pak, but 5 matches are still to be played in this series.

It doesn't surprise me you showed up after India had won the first ODI. Let's hope they win the next one too, so we don't have to miss you for another few days. :cool:

Don't act stupid and jumps to conclusion, i have been posting here since a long time and as i have said earlier India has been losing even b/f Bang match.

If in the next match India loses and i'm still posting then what are you gonna say? that i'm posting just to prove you wrong 8-) .

Get a life!
