Ten Sports I think. For all matches in Pakistan, WI, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh it's Ten Sports.

I could be wrong though.

EDIT - The Ten Sports website has no mention - it could be Neo Sports then.

I think Zee Sports would be telecasting it as well - your Dish should have Zee.

yes very annoying, to top it I was supposed to get 6 months free since I had paid 4k initially, now I am getting (as good as) only DD channels, gotta pay for lifestyle, sports and crap. a$$holes.

Tomorrow, India meet Pakistan at 2:30PM on Neo Cricket.

With Sehwag & Yuvsuf Pathan in the ranks, the result was a foregone conclusion. But Sehwag is running high temperature, so Pakistan coach thinks they have chance for theri 13th staright win

(Pakistan will route India, says coach Lawson).

BTW, Manpreet Gony, the Punjab fast bowler, will join the Indian squad for the Bangladesh tri-series as a replacement for Sreesanth, who was ruled out after suffering a side strain.

Since Dhoni has seen Gony from close angle, while playing for CSK, Gony made it.

So you think Yusuf Pathan is the answer to India's prayers in ODIs? Just because he played some lusty shots in the T20 version of the game?

Gony coming in place of Sreesanth is a good thing to have happened I think

. I also wanted to see Gony in action in place of sreesanth and it has happened (for good, I think). Now is the chance for Gony to go all out and prove himself.

Secondly, Yusuf might be useful in T-20 format as it is hit ya miss game. 50 overs match requires more skills than t-20. Lets hope for the best.

Passing the judgement too early, aren't we?

What IPL has shown is that Yusuf Pathan has serious talent backed by some equally good temperamant. You saw his lusty blows, but forgot the circumstances under which he scored those crucial runs. That will count more than anything else in longer run.

And btw, here is what Irfan had to say about his elder brother :

Quote:

"Yusuf is a much better cricketer than me. And I say this with great honesty and conviction," Irfan told TOI. "I just got lucky to get a break (in international cricket) much ahead of him. He is a smart bowler, an aggressive batsman and a good athletic fielder in any position. He is mentally strong and can single-handedly turn the game on its head."

Nah, not passing judgement at all. Yusuf Pathan is a slogger, I did not see much finesse or footwork when he was executing his strokes that's all.

As you know, ODI involves a little more than lusty sixes.......

Othwerwise, he has to be ready with the brickbats he faces back home.
