IndiaPakistanAnotherFlag.jpgThis is the match that never happened in world cup, even though ICC did its best to fix a date for it well in advance. now BCCI with PCB (in co-operation with Prince Charls) has found a rainy venue (Glasgow is the name) and new date is 3rd July.. will we finally get to enjoy an India vs Pakistan cricket match?

Hope, is a good thing.

The weather report for Glasgow city in Scotland for Tuesday says Scattered clouds & Overcast. Means typical English condition. One thing a fan of India-Pakistan cricket must realize, is that natural/sun light stays for a very long period in that part of world, at this time of year. The broadcasters - Nimbus Production gave 1 extra airtime to the umpires during Future Cup, so similar pattern is expected for this one off Friendship cup one day match. Pakistan team reached Scotland 3 days back, n were scheduled to play an International game against host scottish team - the match was washed off. more because the goundsmen at Edinburg couldn't make it dry. The weather tends to get stable (read free from rain) towards the end of the day, and this match is at different stadium - Citylets Titwood in Glasgow.

Talking some cricket now, Pakistan will boost-up with Shoaib Akhtar's comeback, but also hate not have any real match practice before. One must know that more than the bowlers (although Shoaib is not about direction but pace), its the batsman who need to adjust to new conditions - a reason why Pakistan batters will wake up early.. and India, on other hand, have 3 batsman among runs n 4 tough games negotiated. Their bowling have tasted success under similar kind of weather recently.

Shoaib Akhtar is back : but his main target isn't India. He targeted 3 test match series against Australia next year, n said playing against India is good. but real test of you as a cricketer is when against the Aussies.. but I bet Shoaib will do no less fast bowling in this India v Pakistan charity but International match.

Know a Fawad Alam : Days have come when Top teams put a stable/unshakable grafty batsman in lower middle order, just to make sure we play full 50 overs. We had Russel Arnold batting at 6 for Srilanka in WC, Michael Hussey does same for Australia. Fawad Alam is Pakistan's try. I read about him a while back, n suggest this blog for more on Fawad Alam.

Watch it live on : Neosports, the Nimbus channel. DD national channel in India will also telecast this match, starting at 3 n half hours past mid-day. People around the world can also enjoy this match on nimbus cricket.com or otherwise read this post to find which other channels you can try for live telecast on television.

My Start time : 3.30pm is when real action should start, if on time with no delays. 1530hrs hrs IST. Use time converter to detect match timings according to the country you are in..
