No "Faisla"Bad match

Media headlines termed the Lahore match a La"Bore" match, and the Faislabad match a no "Faisla" match...

But my own interpretation of this goes like, No "Faisla" surely "Bad" match..Faisla wasnt there, but "Bad" was pretty definitive of the test.. Bhajji called it grave number 2 even before he bowled a ball, and now, he still hasnt got a wicket..A bowlers nightmare.. the only way they cud let their frustrations out was by taunting the batsmen.. though it had no effect..

The match had some moments tho..the yuvraj singh catch (catch of the tour so far), Afridi's blitzkrieg. But the best IMO was, that pull shot of Dhoni.. Shoaib steaming in bowling at a rate of 155 kmph, and there was Dhoni, standing with no fuss, no big footwork, weilding the bat in his hand, and an easy swivel of his arms, made the ball travel a million distance... infact, the ball got itself drenched in some sort of dirty water. The umpires had to replace the ball, coz it was "smelling" bad :)
Shoaib got so pissed, he bowled a fierce 150k beamer head high down the legside and did not even bother apologizing... Dhoni was annyoed, his response was even simple.. one more pull shot, with contempt, and the ball raced to yet another boundary.. Worth the watch!
