Usman, England
I think this was just a one off for india, Pakistan surely win the next match and the indian fans won't know what's hit them!

Iram, London
I think all of the matches between India and Pakistan
have been brilliant the're never boring.I also wish Sami would stop stroking his hair and catch the ball!
Khatija, Hudds
Inzi has got the whole team on his shoulders,Yasar Hameeds playing really good considering he's only new. Inshalallah we play good and go on to win the next test match!
Adnan, U.K
I am really disappointed with the Pakistan team. I cannot understand the way in which they are playing against India. The body language is not good, the fielding is poor and the bowling and batting is rubbish. I'm not taking anything away from India, but there can only be one explanation, these matches might be fixed without the Indian team knowing about it. I am coming to this conclusion because the Pakistan team are just not fighting. At the end of every game Inzimam points out what Pakistan did wrong and what they need to work on, but when the next game comes the Pakistani players are making the same mistakes again. The way that Pakistan batted in their second innings was embarrasing, if India can make 675 in one innings so effortlessly, Pakistan should have at least made it in two innings. I hope for Pakistan's sake that these matches really are fixed because whoever thinks that India's bowling is weak better wake up because I think that India has better bowlers than Pakistan thanks to a certain Mr. Wasim Akram showing the Indian left armers how to bowl(well done Wasim, cause of you Irfan Pathan is destroying us now).India's bowlers can at least bowl line and length unlike Shoaib and co. The Pakistan team must perform a lot better in the second test match because I think that the Pakistani public is starting to lose patience with Inzimam and his boys. To be honest though, I think that India will win again.
Parveen, New Zealand
India WON!!! Go india!! I'm soo happyyy! So much for all those critics of the indian bowling line-up...take that!
Nazia from Gloucester
Im a pakistan supporter,even though they havent been on form i know and have faith in them that they will improve!There are some improvements that need to be made as too much pressure is put on a few select players instead of the team as whole!Inshallah they will come back with a bang!!!!
Joy from New York
One word describes it all - AWESOME!
Tariq, Leicester
ok India won but it was because Pakistan threw away the match. Anyway Pakistan are still miles ahead on wins against india the record is they have met 47 times in Tests with Pakistan winning nine times, India five and 33 matches ending in stalemate. Prior to the five-match series now being played in Pakistan the scoreline after 86 limited-overs games read: Pakistan 52 wins, India 30 and four no results.
Amandeep, Smethwick
I knew India would win because of pakistan very poor batting

After the one days series Pakistan players should perform well but looks like India will win the test series too. There is no wining will in Pakistan team no planing pakistan need a good captain who can lead the team well .
Chicago
Great Playing guys! I am sure you will go ahead and wrap up the series with a 'CLEAN SWEEP'. Kudos to the great Indian team!
James, England
Fantastic result, India's batting was as good as always and the bowling was even better than expected. Although I think Pakistans bowling went to pieces so it will be interesting to see what happens if they are on form next time.
Hassan, London
India's victory owed everything to their superior batting and the fact that Kumble was back on form. Pakistan's tail is too long and the bowling ineffective.
prahlladh,bristol
yes the team did it it was great victory to india i think india can win the series great bowling my kumble and pathan graet batting by viru and sachin india is the best
Bal Garewal, Walsall
What a great perforance by India If we had a full squad without injuries to our bowlers, we would have wite washed tem.

I think this Multan test win is one of the great sporting moments for India and the team and we all as Indians should cherish this golden moment. I think it was foolish of Miandad to say that every alley in Pakistan as a Irfan Pathan.

well done india! both teams played well but the best won!
Ram, Birmingham
Both sides were equally matched, but there can only be one winner,Well Done India,Looking forward to the next test,
Mumbaikar
I think the difference between India and Pakistan is the former is talented and classy, the pakistanis lack class.simple!
indopak_dude London
Looks like Dravid will be the next captain. I hope he will break the tradition of VIP players first and the team second attitude. This team is good in all departments and barring from Ganguly everyone has performed well so far. How about a IndopakXI v/s Rest of the World XI to be held in different countries and pitches? That will be the best served for a cricket fan. Any takers from the IndiaInc. 's new billioners?
Rohini, Birmingham
WOW! what a game!!! Sehwag is just TOO good and Kumble... u r AMAZING!!!! hopefully on the first ball 2moro they'll be able to get a awicket and defeat Pakistan yet again. Jai Hind
Dharmy
India are playing very well witha lot of maturity. The problem is that Pakistan are not playin with confidence. But i think India will win the series comfortably but u neva know.
Haseeb, Bradford
Being a Pakistani supporter i think India deserve to win the first test match. To be honest with you Pakistani cricketers have themselves to blame. They need to learn from the Indians on how well they batted and balled! well done Indian team!This a messege to the pakistani cricket team, i just hope you get your heads screwed on tight for the next test match!
kunal. England
Pakistan are in serious danger of being humiliated in their own back yard a 3-0 white wash is definates on the card. India after playing exellent cricket in Australia have come a long way in world cricket and any every cricketing nation should be fearful of them.
kunal. England
India have proved that they are now a exellent team and should win the test series 3-0 looking at this current performance. Pakistan need to start from scratch in many departments in order to save themselves from humiliation.
Amit , England
pakistan wickets fell like dominos today...just one more wicket to go.Another win for INDIA. no suprise..we are the best
dharms, leicester
What a great achievement by the indians & especially the bowlers who have been labelled as "WEAK". Lets hope india can keep it up & complete 3-0 series win. Miandad claims there to be many ordinary bowlers like PATHAN playing in the streets of pakistan...... Bring em in MR MIANDAD!!!!!
Mahesh Srinivasan
There is an old saying that goes, "How you win shows some of your strength. How you lose shows all your weaknesses." By the way in which Pakistan is playing at the moment, I seems that they are determined to reveal all their weaknesses. Sorry to say this Inzi, this is not what we expected from our arch-rivals.
Ahmed England
so what if india
has 600 + run but
pakistan will have double the amount
of india runs come on pakistan you can do it
Ahmed England
come on
pakistan beat india
show us what your
made out of
coventry uni lad
GO on INDIA, u deserve to WIN yet again, after a uniqueperformance. Pakistan have a lot of learning to do!!But hay what a game these 2 teams are demonstrating..
Zinnu Ryne, Michigan
The ODIs followed by the first Test match reminds me of a report published in Rediff.Com on February 25, 2004. The article reports Pakistan's Coach Javed Miandad as saying "bowlers like Irfan Pathan were dime a
dozen in Pakistan." Surprisingly, this Irfan Pathan seems to be the bowler troubling the Pakistani batsmen the most with his rigid line-length and surprisingly sharp swings-cuts, and proving to be the most aggressive of the Indian attacks. Perhaps Miandad is thinking at this point -- wish there was "a" Pathan in our team -- as his bowlers have failed him despite the fact that they are superior in respect to pace and swing than the Indian bowlers!
Zaheer, London
Pakistan are crumbling to india's bowling attack, much better play and effort needed to help overcome india's victory run. Come On Buoys! You CAN do IT!
nick london
I still believe india should be more aggressive in their approach, because mentally pakistan are on the ropes. They should go for the kill in such a way that Pakistan and the Indian fans will remember for a longtime !!
Mr Patel
I believe Sachin played well but needs to be a little more aggressive.
Mohammed, Birmingham
Razzaq will lead pakistan past the follow on score, and india will only draw a test match after scori g 600+, this only outlines india's poor bowling attack, india will never win a world cup or major test series if they keep producing bowlers like Zaheer Khan.
sunny , coventry ,uk
India are doing well but they have a long way to go yet......
daniel
i think pakistan are the best team in the world -not even INDIA can stop them!
Tuseef Raza Nottingham
i think pakistan are the best and they are the only team in the world that can beat the aussies so INDIA has NO CHANCE!!!!!!
g-singh
india u are making us all proud of ur brill batting keep up da good work
uzma naz Dudley
i think pakistan is triying really hard and could draw. India played excellent but i think pakistan will fight back
Aditya, New York
I think Rahul Dravid made a very bad call and decision by declaring the innings before Tendulkar could make his double century. He needed only 6 more runs. It was a very selfish move from Dravid, he is jealous of Tendulkar. VVS Laxman should be made Vice Captain instead of R. Dravid. Anyway excellent inning by the Indian team as a whole. Good job Sehwag and Tendulkar.
aman,bristol
well done india for a wonderful performance, we are all proud of u!! well done sehwag for ur amazing triple century!! The man sachin brillant batsmen!! I think with more performances like today we can win the test series
sageer England
no matter if india have 600+ runs pakistan are capable of getting that much aswell and who ever says inzi should resign think again!!!
Kamran, Birmingham
I think Pakistan will draw the test, with india's poor bowling line up.
Muzaffar hussain
Pakistan should have younis khan for the test match agaist india and shoaib malik for shabbir. i think that saqlain played good and he should be in pakistan squad for next series
manpreet
Virender Sehwag has made us indians proud today. Come on INDIA we are one step closer to winning this test match.
ijtaba islamabad
i think this will be an enjoyable test because both teams are equally matched but i think pakistan might pull through
Jaydev, USA
Hope Sehwag will hit 300 plus runs and Sachin a double century. Hope Parthiv will show his mettle and that Pakistan will fight back nicely with Inzamam hitting a double century. Hope Kumble and Pathan will do their magic again.
Saeed Zoberi, NY, USA
Pakistan is showing their usual performance. They are consistently bad, they perform once in a while. Inzimamul Haq should go now. It was a terrible decision to make him captain in the first place. Pakistan team does not have the calibre or experience to face any team right now. I think PCB chief and selectors should resign.
bhanu,tirupathi
virender sehwag's innings had no answer from pakistan. well done and keep it up
Vivek, New Jersey
Sehwag today played a brilliant knock. He is a gifted batsman with great hand eye coordination. Many times we see cricket teams score less runs in an innings of a test match than a one day match. Sehwag shows a way to solve this problem by playing a natural game with a clean hit of the ball. Hope players like Sehwag bring back test cricket to it's glory!
Sweety from Holland
Wow~! Very well played today. Sehwag, what a great batsman he is! Sami, what a great bowler he is! I hope there will be a lot excitement in tomorrows game. Go Pako's! May the best team win ^_^.
Ayub, Pakistan
It was great to watch sehwag bat on first day of test. With Laxman in good nick ,dravids excellence and sachins determination and if kumble clicks, there is no stopping for Indians.
Suren Patel, Coventry
india were very good today, and many congratulations to virnder sehwag on his best ever score. he is a magnificent player and i hope he continues all day tomorrow. he is a fantastic player to watch, and who knows, he may even get the world record.
Amit , England
Sehwag and Tendulkar are batting brill at the moment. keep it up lads.
AR Rahman, Mirpur
Pakistan certainly have an edge in the Test matches because of their bowling attack. Inzamam I think will score at least a double century, because he looks to be in excellent form. Lets hope the matches don’t end up with 600 runs on scorecard for both sides.
Amit, Mumbai
I hope India show the same discipline in the Test match that they did in the one-dayers. The pressure will be on from the first ball to 'til the last.
