Battle that Pak can't win

Sachin may have missed out on a century, but with the kind of body language and total lack of penetration that Pakistan showed for most part of today, it looks highly unlikely that they can come back and win the Kolkatta test.

Anything over 550-600 from India in the 1st innings will leave Pak struggling for a draw. Looks like everything is going wrong for the arch-rival. Lack of coordination, injury related issues, and a resurgent India have conspired to spell their doom. The 15-day-long series looks over just after six days.

That is indeed very sad. The last time one side had so comprehensively dominated a series in Indo-Pak encounters was probably in 1982-83 season. It was then that Pakistan under Imran had won the series 3-0 -- the biggest winning margin ever in the battle of arch-rivals.
