India v Pakistan: Fifth ODI

comment on the article

India rang the changes for the fifth and final match of their one-day series against Pakistan before winning the toss and electing to field in Jaipur.

Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and Zaheer Khan were rested, with Rohit Sharma, Murali Kartik, Sree Santh and debutant Praveen Kumar starting.

For Pakistan, Shahid Afridi and Younus Khan were left out, with Imran Nazir handed his first start of the series.

Hosts India have already secured the five-match series and are looking to wrap up a 4-1 series win.

Benjamin Dirs is your man on commentary duties today, so let us know how you think this will pan out. Can Pakistan salvage some pride? Or will India see out a dominant 4-1 series victory? Let us know your thoughts.

Politics aside, it is nice to see the two neighbours playing each other. Overall fantastic display of cricket by the players. Well done India, well done Pakistan.

This debate is funny - wots with everyone living in the past?? Lets be honest, if you took away those sharjah cup debacles, and the even more ridiculous tournaments in Canada Im sure it would paint a slightly different picture.

It would be an interestin stat if you took just the games played in India or Pakistan - oh and of course the world cup ( a reasonably big tournament in which Pakistan have never beaten India).

Truth of the matter is that at the moment India are probably slightly better than Pakistan as an all round package - But neither team is anywhere near Australia. Its not that they dont have the talent, its more the typical Asian mentality in sport. We always think we are better than what we actually are, whereas the Australians, English, South Africans push themselves a lot harder

Yeh, very intelligent comment that was. Yuvraj gettin 4 fifties in 5 innings sounds like a real fluke. The only 'fluke' was the umpire giving him out in the last match
