While the batting is over-dependent on Younis and Misbah, it's decent enough to post a defensible amount of runs. The bowlers are very hard to get away. Umar Gul didn't have a great day. I thought he only four bad balls, but the numbers made him look awful. He bowled reasonably well. But the margin for error being so low meant that he didn't seem as good. Kamran Akmal sucks behind the stumps. Plus, their younger cricketers are terrible fielders. It appears that they take a long time to mature cricketers in Pakistan. But never-the-less my feeling is that South Africa is the only team that can stop the Pakistan team. India is always nervous playing Pakistan and this team can exploit that to the hilt and toy with India.
India have no reasons to lose to England tomorrow. But they'll need to continue to play confident cricket. Sehwag or Tendulkar need to bat through the over regardless of whether they are batting first. And this might Yuvraj's chance to get into the action.
