My only problem with T20 is that you can't really say one team is better than the other based upon these matches. Can anyone honestly say that India are better than Pakistan based on them winning tonight? I certainly can't, they were dead even tonight. Same goes for a lot of other matches in this series. Are India a better side than South Africa? Not in my books...

It kind of takes away bragging rights, as the winning team won't always be the best one...see what I'm getting at?
No, because South Africa were the better side in a certain world cup, yet they lost to Australia. That's part of the game. India are better than South Africa because they were better that day. It's really that simple.

He has school so missed the game... he's going to watch the tape of it.

He might've written india off like SS.

Indeed. In fact you can argue that every single world cup from 1983 to 1999 was one by a team which wasn't the best in the world.

For that matter the 2001 and 2005 test series wins by India and England didn't make them better than Australia.

Umm, no. India were not a 'better' team today unless winning something automatically accords somebody a better status.

And no, I wouldn't have said Pakistan were better either if we had won.

England were the better team in Ashes 2005 regardless of Australia 'actually' being the overall better team. Australia were the better team in 1999 WC regardless of South Africa being 'actually' the better team.

Welcome to sports, hope you enjoy your stay.

Yeah, this is what I meant. Even if Pakistan had won off that Misbah shot, it was still a dead even game for mine. As you said, winning a game doesn't automatically accord one better status.

In my books, I couldn't split India and Pakistan tonight.

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! I was thinking to myself at the interval: we have never lost to Pakistan in a WC...why should it all start now? And i was right...india is developing well as a side...i am a lot more optimistic abt the future of indian ODI cricket. Tests are completely different in terms of skills required etc...but really glad that india pulled this off!! Where u at Turb???

CHAK DE INDIA!!!!!!! :cool:

BTW....well played Pakistan...hard luck but u too should be really proud of ur boys...they are true fighters!!!! :)
