There was no edge on that. It was LBW. Regards, Anoop.

That is absolutely unwarranted. Let us enjoy the legend Wasim Akram is. There are a thousands of decisions that have gone against batsmen / bowlers from England, Australia, NZ etc too.... Also Wasim Akram got away with lots of no balls also, arguably more than any other bowler in the cricket...

We, watching on the TV with the benefit of slow motion can say it was clear LBW. Umpires do not have that luxury. So yes it was an LBW. Clear or not is a perspective. For yes, it was. For the umpire, at that pace, it was not. I am a huge test match fan and Wasim Akram is my "most" favorite...

There are two issues here. 1.) Is burqa as a concept derogatory and repressive to women or not? The point is not whether one wears it out of "free will" or not. The point is, men do not have such veils proposed for them. The idea is that a woman be modestly covered so that men do not lech...

All the discussion boards here start on a serious note and become downright funny. I am not inviting any discussion on the following, Pakistan and India were at some point in time, a single entity. The culture, or whatever the heck it means, was common, perhaps to a large degree still is...

Thanks for your sarcasm. I had asked my questions with utmost sincerity. Have also thanked the guy who responded it in a polite, positive way. Check up. But to your sarcasm... Star wars program was a vision, innovation and invention gone wrong. I agree with this. But your sarcasm just...

Thank you. Though I hardly see them as counters if they are still in development. Regards, Anoop.

I would be surprised if there were to be a clean winner in "only" the trials. Since they were conducted under various different conditions, some would have performed better in some conditions and vice versa. Regards, Anoop.

Two corrections. 1.) It may or may not worked. There are examples where it has worked. 2.) US and USSR is a wrong example. It has almost always worked. The crumbling of the USSR is for many other reasons, not necessarily the arms race with the US. Are there any operational or prototypes...

Thanks for all the information. Appreciate your neutrality and knowledge. Regards, Anoop

I do not think I derailed the thread. I am still very much discussing with respect to Pakistan's current capabilities. Please do explain how did I derail the thread. Regards, Anoop

Please enlighten me. I am all for reading. Regards, Anoop.

Let's talk facts. Let's not make assumptions. Give me a proof that the "future" F-16 Indian version will be "better" than the F-16's that Pakistan will have at that point in time. And how do you say LCA is capable of taking on JF17? Please give me facts and not your assumptions. Regards...

Let me give you an example. Which century are we in? In the previous century, some 25 years back, India took Russia's help in a concept called "directional drilling". I wouldn't go into the details of this because I may be forced to remove this content and apologise. No one got a wind of it...

It will replace almost all of the MIG series, except the 29s, in phases. Well, I find the inclusion of F16, whichever block and F-18 which ever block simultaneously, surprising. F16 was not designed to be a multirole fighter. By being marketed as one, it does not become one. Likewise...

The technology road map is not really a shareable document. These are confidential documents with the respective defence establishments. What you see is only what they let you see. A defence deal is visible. What you do not see is what their operation planning is. India, at this juncture is...

Any big defence deal overshoots the originally proposed timeline. That is true of any deal anywhere in the world, even internally. What I do not understand seriously though is why is the IAF looking at these planes? They are looking at 4th Gen planes with some cosmetic changes done to call...

1.) It is not yet done. 2.) Related, but perhaps not directly connected, I do not understand why India went with the choice of aircrafts as contenders, it went with. Regards, Anoop

I have to say this has been the most informative thread without indulging in the "I am better than you" confrontations. Awesome. And thank you.

Thanks. And what about US' involvement? How do they fit in the equation? Do they want to have more participation in combating it? Regards, Anoop.
