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

[Schiller]

keep checking the time pass forum for the next little while

shhhhh v

D

D

too late :-D

 

[tahaqureshi]

4 by dravid.....its slipping out of our hands VERY VERY quickly here..im gonna give up hope if the situation is bad for us at the end of today's play

 

[sajjad]

Hard shot hit by dravid there Kaneria had a feather chance really hard tho

i didnt see it.
off kan or afridi

 

[Raz]

Field set to both Shahid and Danish, very defensive. Only a first slip in place, no silly point or silly mid off.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Great Ball By Affer There..wow that ball died lol

 

[sajjad]

it didnt get an edge
went stright thru

kept very low

 

[tahaqureshi]

wat a ball that was by afridi..pls Allah, hamari madat kar, we need it desperately...

Sami has got his form back and yk/yoyo made centuries for a reason, Allah pls don't leave our boys stranded out there at this most crucial moment

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

The 4 By Dravid on Kaneria he could have gone for that but like i said really hard or am i imagining it was a chance?

 

[Raz]

Silly point in place now. Shahid really wants to get Dravid. Theres some bad blood between them.

 

[Waseem]

Inzi wants to contain the batsmen that's why there is defensive field..................Dravid will get out after getting his century because he is gonna go after the bowlers.

 

[Schiller]

whats this about afridi and dravid?
a lovers' tiff?

 

[tahaqureshi]

many chances coming our way but not going all the way...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Lol officers looking nice and professional with the tolia in their head

 

[Raz]

wat a ball that was by afridi..pls Allah, hamari madat kar, we need it desperately...

Sami has got his form back and yk/yoyo made centuries for a reason, Allah pls don't leave our boys stranded out there at this most crucial moment

Ameen!

 

[sajjad]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I Second That Ameen!

 

[Schiller]

Khan9936, kahan?? :-D

 

[Raz]

Sami on now! Eh Allah ham ko wickets de day!

 

[sajjad]

can sami do some magic here

 

[tahaqureshi]

ameen

 

[161]

ZzZzZZzZZzzZz is bhindia playing for a draw here ?

 

[tahaqureshi]

so many duas here..pls Allah give sami the power to get dravid out before he gets his century

 

[Raz]

What a coup it would be to get Dravid in the 90s

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I dont think this ball dying pattern will be very good for us it is a devil in disguise i tell you when we bat it could haunt us damn u indian pitches

 

[Waseem]

Kashif we are more likely to play for a draw........Indians are in driving seat.

 

[sajjad]

yeah that wud change some momentum

ball keeping low now

 

[tahaqureshi]

yes raz, it would be...but i dunno if it'll happen..just keep making sincere duas..


NO-BALL!

 

[Raz]

Very good bowling from Sami!

 

[Schiller]

they should try to get dravid out early, he usually has an issue with off stump line or at times the ball moving into him. at this pt you can only hope

 

[Schiller]

the pitch really dying out here

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wat the heck kind of a fielding was dat?? dravid onto 98 now and i dont think Pakistan should play for the draw yet they arent completely out of it as of yet

 

[161]

has sami tried a yorker yet (today) ?

 

[Raz]

Im making duas man. Everyone else please do as well.

 

[Schiller]

tendu giving a preview of his upcoming mujra there, in the words of mec

 

[sajjad]

sami trying hard
but no real luck for him

plus, Dravid has been playing excellently

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I am rectiting suras under my breath here (it is 2 am here ) hopefully we get a wicket Dravid on 99 now.

 

[tahaqureshi]

why oh why are the wickets not coming..

oh why oh why are they not commmingggg (stretched)

 

[sajjad]

sami to dravid on 99

this cud be exciting

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

99 pay out hojai

 

[tahaqureshi]

stupid dravid on 99

 

[161]

well at indias current run rate of 1 run per over- i see them declaring by tea on day 5....

 

[Raz]

"I cant even hear myself do commentary"

Arun Laal

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i wish i couldnt hear him do commentary

 

[tahaqureshi]

NOBALL

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes yes make those Bhindians wait for that damn century

 

[Raz]

Dravid still on 99.

 

[sajjad]

i wish i couldnt hear him do commentary

D D D

 

[tahaqureshi]

make them wait and then get him out on 99

 

[tahaqureshi]

was that a catch out chance??????????

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o !@%@!%^!@ this slip catch is gonna be costly for us i can fell it...

 

[sajjad]

YK missing a tuf one

 

[badxhah]

The Only reason i can assume of Sami's nobals prblem is that maybe inzy is appying the same theory as
imran did on wasim in 92 .. that forget the noballs and bowl fast and get me wickets

 

[Raz]

Younis misses a half chance off Shahid!

 

[Sage]

tahaiqureshi, can you edit your post and get rid of all those exclamation points?

 

[sajjad]

it was a very tuf chance/
very tuf

 

[Cartman]

This is turining into a real battle. Its not all easy going for India either fellas, at least we can have some satisfaction in that. That bouncer to Laxman was classic.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

enjoy that 100 while u can wally

 

[Schiller]

yk should have taken it but oh well

dravid gets his 100

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good ball there by Afridi the quicker one

 

[Raz]

Pakistan not getting much today. Another close call not going their way.

 

[sajjad]

well done dravid

amazing century once again

 

[Cartman]

Quite frankly, best result Pakistan can now hope to achieve is a draw.

Sami should keep bowling those bouncers and hope to render a few more of their batsmen uselss for the last test.

 

[Waseem]

so we can say good bye to match now?????

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

And now Karthik going for it as well at 43* now

 

[badxhah]

Another Masyerfull knock frm Dravid Wat a player .....
Second time for scoring centuries in both innings for Walls ice cream wala

 

[sajjad]

chasing 250-300+ can never be easy

india has played really well, the past 2 days.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I am not predicting only a draw yet until I see how many quick runs Afridi can rack up at the beginning of his innings

 

[sajjad]

cmon sami get a few out so we feel motivated

 

[tahaqureshi]

idiot

 

[Cartman]

you guys think new ball is going to help our chances of taking their wickets?

 

[sajjad]

india trying to really hit out now

 

[Sage]

Cartman, we don't have any new ball bowlers.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I think as soon as Karthik reaches his 50 both these guyz will hit out

 

[sajjad]

whose gonna be in the team for the next match

which bowlers

 

[Cartman]

Sami looked good today. He can be good enough for the tail enders

 

[badxhah]

kartick gets his highest score ,,,,.. we dont have new bowlers plus new ball will dissappear faster to the fence.
Hence giving them more time to bowl at us.

 

[Raz]

Maybe another 37 ball century from Shahid is on the cards!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I dont see who we really can add all our good bowlers are injured (Gul, Shabbir, Shoaib, Naveed) and its really glaring thru now

 

[tahaqureshi]

its definitely on the cards raz but i don't know if its on his mind D

 

[Sage]

Oh why oh why wasn't Arshad picked instead of Khalil
