2nd Test, Day 4 scorecard and discussion [19/03/05]

[MIG]

Good luck Pakistan!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

can u include my summary into it?
i just made a thread for this..but since u've done so..then can my summary be included?

 

[the true passionist]

so which 2 bowlers should start the day?
well for me Razaq and Kaneria..
although there would be a temptation to start with Sami...
and who knows if sami get's Ganguly early, he might have his tail up

 

[Lightning]

i would begin with sami and kans.

 

[161]

i missed yesterdays play- i know sami got the two wickets, but aside from that was his bowling much better or was it just those two good deliveries?

 

[Raz]

Hi guys. Asslamo Alaikum. How u all doin?

 

[Imran13]

Salaam ppl...big big session ahead could b decisive..but i fel we can chase around 300

 

[Raz]

Sami bowled probably the best he has done all series yesterday kashif. Wasnt just those 2 deliveries.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea this session before lunch is v v important for both teams hopefully we can get the wall out. he hit a nice four now on kaneria tho

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and now in comes sami cmon bachay u can do it today

 

[161]

Sami bowled probably the best he has done all series yesterday kashif. Wasnt just those 2 deliveries.

great good to hear- hope he continues that for the rest of the series !!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

he bowled very well yesterday and he seems fired up today bowling well rite now

 

[MecnunK]

Comeon Pak!!

 

[Lightning]

Yeah sami bowled pretty well but still very erratic. 45 runs off his 10 overs is evidence to that.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea compared to like Kaneria's figures of like 10 overs for 25 but there are the 2 wickets for Sami

 

[Raz]

As always Shahid smiling!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oo that almost went onto ganduly's stumps

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ouch...good shot there Dravid even moved

 

[Imran13]

danger signs here way too many fours

 

[Raz]

Dravid looking aggressive 2day.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol highest succesful run chase is 120-2 not good man lol

 

[Raz]

Is it me or is Dravid's helmet way way 2 big for him?!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

he needs something to absorb the waterfall he sweats lol

 

[Raz]

D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nice bouncers sami dravid isnt a gr8 hooker keep it up man!

 

[Raz]

Sami not used the yorker yet! I wanna see that!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

was that a chance for a catch just now off the last ball of sami's ova?

 

[Raz]

Not really was in the air but fielder at short leg was a little deep.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Kamal should still have gone for it I agree with Ramiz good ball there by Kaneria past the outside edge

 

[161]

how fast is sami bowling??

and yep raz, i dont know why sami doesnt bowl more yorkers- its his best ball by far.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sami is bowling in the high 80 mph an hour and isnt wayward (Allah Ka Shukar)

 

[Awesome Anjum]

early wickets are really crucial here.

 

[tahaqureshi]

maybe he's saving it? make the batsmen comfortable to face his bouncers..and then out of nowhere uproot their off stumps with his yorkers..possibility?

 

[Raz]

Sami bowling in mid 80's. Hes probably afraid of getting it wrong and giving juicy deliveries. He needs to show faith in himself.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I hope so Sami is playing his best of the series so far for him so i wouldnt put it past him doing that

 

[MecnunK]

desperately need couple of wickets here

 

[161]

yeah i want to see him try a 95 mph yorker- no way gangs can handle that.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sami is tucking up Ganduly well here I am sure he will do something stupid soon

 

[tahaqureshi]

agree raz...thats the best way to buid up confidence...ppl can only help u to an extent...after that, its all up to u

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

YES WHAT DID I SAY!! THERE GOES GANGU

 

[Imran13]

yessssssssssssssssssssssssss samiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Sage]

SAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Raz]

Sami gets Gangu!

 

[tahaqureshi]

GONE!!!!!! SAMI STRIKES!!!!!!

 

[MecnunK]

Yes yes yes!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and now comes Laxitive Man DIEEEE!!!!!

 

[161]

good for sami !!!!!

great for pak !!!!

 

[Guest]

what a catch by Sami...the man is in some zone today!

 

[Raz]

Hes on a King Pair!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Sami has got to get a 5fer here he deserves it! gr8 ball gandu had no idea

 

[161]

now i want to see another sami hat trick- been waiting a while- he needs to challenge laxman with a wicked yorker !!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

guess ull have to wait kash laxitive off the mark someone get me some thick food for this man

 

[tahaqureshi]

sami's average this innings is excellent

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lolz nice fielding by Inzi yo he was like a kaif there

 

[tahaqureshi]

inhis next over..sami needs to expose his yorker..because dravid has been there for a while...but laxman is new, he has lots of pressure on him because he can be dropped any time, and he is very nervoud..sami needs to bowl yorkers, unnerve him and get his wicket

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good over there by Kaneria keep it up Pakistan, Bhindia on back foot now

 

[feather]

good spell of bowling by sami was bowling his heart out and it was only matter of time he got ganguly out!! I am pretty happy he went for the catch himself lol poor guy had few catches dropped of him in the first match...

I hope he comes good for us today and takes another wicket very soon!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

You notice how Shastri always thinks the match is "Nicely Balanced" and then goes on to say "Pakistan needs another wicket to get back in this game"??

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

HAHAH LAXMAN KA MOO PAY MARDIA ZOR SAY!!

 

[Imran13]

wohoo wot a ball laxman is dwn

 

[tahaqureshi]

way to go!!!!!! thats the way sami!!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

[tahaqureshi]

i hope sami bowls a sizzling yorker next.....this will defo get his wicket

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

OUCH MAN i feel sorry for that guy that looks painful man i had something like that a few months back it hurts man!

 

[Imran13]

[The_Cricket_Devil]
