Well yes in case of this current Pakistani team composed of mostly teenagers indeed it was different than playing against an experienced team by grown ups

Well not that way, even if Pakistan was experienced even then India would have showed tremendous aggression against them also.
What I meant was that Indian style of hockey can defeat Pakistan but its very vulnerable in front of Australia's hockey.
I am not sure is India will show the same passion against Australia like what they showed today.

They played worst and their can't be any justification for it. I have already cleared before that being inexperience is not a justification. They didn't seem serious with the match in any part of the game. They simply had no team work and game plan. Both seniors and juniors were looking like a bunch of dumbas$es with sticks in their hands and don't know what to do with those sticks. Coach was also not serious and committed with the team and this match.
They deserve most humiliating welcome possible and a serious spanking. As$h0les players. God knows why they represent Pakistan at such a level when they are so dumb.

Shakeel Abbasi is useless until Pakistan wins a match. An individual brilliance worths nothing.

honestly speaking there was only one guy I was looking for in Pakistani team and fortunately for my joy, he didnt get the ball much and that was Rehan Butt. he's been one of the best against India...but today's hero was sandip singh.

See we have to understand the effectiveness of a good center forward but he can be great only when you have a good backing combination for a center forward.
Do you remember Shahbaz he was superb he knew how to carry on entire team but again he had a good backing.
now a days everyone wants to be center forward even if he is not

yeah Indian style of hockey is like ronaldo 
Come on we both nations have been playing Asian style hockey.
On and off we had been beating each other. There was a time when India was down like hell and then there was time when you got Dhanraj and we were showing bad performance.

India crush Pakistan 7-4 to enter hockey semi-finals
New Delhi: India routed Pakistan 7-4 to enter the semifinals of the men's hockey competition at the 19th Commonwealth Games here Sunday.
India finished second behind Australia in pool A standings with nine points and take on Pool B toppers England in the semifinal here Tuesday. Australia face New Zealand in the other semifinal.
Earlier, Australia romped to their fourth win by soundly thrashing Malaysia 7-0 while England overcame South Africa 2-1 and Canada came within two minutes of making the semi-final grade, but eventually drew 1-1 with New Zealand.
Indeed, India put on a dazzling display befitting royalty and in the presence of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi as they ran circles around Pakistan, who were done in by the aggression, slick passing and clinical finish of the home team.
Penalty corner specialist Sandeep Singh started the Indian party with two conversions first up (2nd, 11th), followed by Shivendra Singh (19th and 59th), Saravanjit Singh (20th), Dhanish Mujataba (40th) and Dharamvir Singh (46th).
On their part, Pakistan showed only flashes of brilliance and their famed fighting spirit to knock in two goals by Muhammad Imran (27th) and Mumahmmad Rizwan (30th) in a space of three minutes. Irfan Muhammad (57th) and Shakeel Abbasi (67th) were the other scorers.
India could not have hoped for a better start than five penalty corners within 11 minutes and Sandeep converted the first and fifth.
The Pakistan defence was at sixes and sevens in the face of the furious Indian onslaughts as virtually every penetration by the home forwards resulted in a penalty corner.
Past the 19th, Sandeep unleashed a brilliant left-to-right diagonal long shot that Shivendra, positioned behind the Pakistani defenders flicked home to put India 3-0 in the lead.
A minute later, Sarvanjit was lying handy to push home a poor clearance from the sixth penalty corner and the packed stands went into frenzied celebrations.
Thus, a 4-0 lead in just 20 minutes was simply unbelievable, but it accurately reflected India's dominance that left the Pakistanis all but shell-shocked.
But not for long as Pakistan earned their second penalty corner in the 26th minute and Rehan Butt's rebound attempt struck Vikram Pillay on the foot leading to a penalty stroke that Imran converted and Pakistan were in the hunt.
Three minutes later Rizwan got a deflection to Irfan's cross hit from the right as Pakistan reduced the leeway.
In the final minute of the half, India received two back-to-back penalty corners, their seventh and eighth, but could not convert. Pakistan protested both the awards while the Indians claimed a penalty stroke off the second, but their pleas were rejected.
Pakistan began the second-half far more confidently and a couple of chances came their way, but were wasted.
It was not long before India got going and Mujtaba banged home a penalty corner rebound in the 40th and Dharamvir pushed home a Shivendra pass and India were up 6-2.
Pakistan pulled one back when Irfan flicked into net from a penalty corner, but India hit back with a stunning counter-attack that saw captain Rajpal Singh finding Shivendra with a through ball and the striker made no mistake with a powerful drive to goal.
With a four-goal cushion, India relaxed just a bit and it allowed Abbasi to streak in from the right and flick past goalkeeper Bharat Chhetri for the final goal of the night.
