India VS Pakistan Day 1

As the Final test began today, there were lots of expectations.
1. Ganguly was in team and Harbajan was dropped
2. Pitch to support bowlers
it was a good toss to win and Dravid has put pak to bat on a swinging track. Pathan was fiery in his opening spell he took three wkts on a row. He was well supported by khan. RP singh has done well. At one stage pak was struggling for 6/39 and i was expecting an allout for 150. then comes Akmal this guy has played in such a ease. Good storke play and supported by razaaq and Akthar. he built his 100 without much struggle. Pak did a good comeback into the match. India started the batting and my eyebrows went up to see Laxman opening the innings with Dravid as we have a specialized opener why laxman and our top order collapsed. I haven't seen dravid getting out in this fashion. Laxman pity he missed the line. As a experienced player how he can get out on this situtation. Now india in 74/4 with Yuvraj and Ganguly on the crease. Ganguly might be demoralised after knowing that he is not in the oneday squad. Let us see how this match goes. But for sure there is a result in this match.
