[tahaqureshi]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

"big shout for whatever" = manjrekar

 

[DM]

Daniel Kaneria back on

 

[sajjad]

ramiz comparing the yellow cabs to Karthik's running. manjrekar agrees

 

[DM]

lol

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

so karthik pollutes the environment while running? hmm nice comparison ramiz

 

[sajjad]

1-2 wkts a are a must before the decleration
to give our players some hope that we can do something out there

 

[DM]

Dinesh surviving way too long here

 

[tahaqureshi]

that was truly hilarious

 

[Raz]

I think we should take the new ball now. We need wickets badly.

 

[badxhah]

Dont take the new ball plz.. would do nothing

 

[sajjad]

ramiz really getting after karthik
wants to see replays of him running with the tram lines on,...hhahaha

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think that was the first decent ball by Khalil

"on this occasion it was Steve Bucknor who was rock solid" - Ramiz

 

[tahaqureshi]

so karthik pollutes the environment while running? hmm nice comparison ramiz

yea..he releases methane! lol D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Remind the indian board to do an emission test on that gasshole

 

[Raz]

That was soooooooo close! Probably was out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

now that i think about it he was out damn sucknor

 

[sajjad]

khalil bowling well NOWWW

 

[Raz]

Bucknor trying to make up for that Tendu decision he gave!

 

[pak_all_the_way]

300 up


game over!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea NOWWWWWWWW

 

[sajjad]

bucknor is one ugly fellow
why did they show that closeup
i feel sick.....hehehhee

 

[DM]

Cricinfo: "Khalil almost ended up pleading for a wicket"

 

[sajjad]

hehehe he was pleading
he knew it was out n he was shocked it wasnt given so

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol did u notice encyclopedia is spelled wrong on that book for Pakistan Cricket

 

[tahaqureshi]

good..if he can prove himself then i wouldn't mind keeping him in the team

 

[Waseem]

Khalil is yet to take a TEST wicket i think???

 

[DM]

But he makes up for it with his personality

 

[sajjad]

lol did u notice encyclopedia is spelled wrong on that book for Pakistan Cricket

hahahaha really!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea he has no test wickets so i feel real sorry for him

 

[sajjad]

But he makes up for it with his personality

u talking abt khalil
hehehe

 

[badxhah]

khalil bowling well NOWWW

Oh my god Miracles Do happen twice in a series :-D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea the cover had it spelled encyclopaedia

 

[DM]

encylopedia has 2 spellings iirc,
Encyclopedia
Encyclopaedia

 

[tahaqureshi]

commentators saying that indians may declare right after tea so that indians have 4 seesions in which to get the pakistanis out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

really? neva heard of the 2nd one well guess u learn something new every dayi guess...

 

[Raz]

Another 35 minutes before tea yet! India probably looking for 350 lead before declaring.

 

[DM]

But he makes up for it with his personality

u talking abt khalil
hehehe

well i was initially referring to sajjad's "bucknor is ugly" remark. But i guess it also applies to Khalil

 

[Waseem]

Well Khalil got Dravid but not given. that was PLUMB!!!!!

 

[PakPassionate]

OK here is ur audio link

http://70.26.26.172:8004/listen.pls

Use WinAmp

 

[sajjad]

encylopedia has 2 spellings iirc,
Encyclopedia
Encyclopaedia

cant believe how that got published...hehehe
stupid stuff...the indians will be having a good laugh at his lack of spelling etiquette

 

[DM]

85.1 Mohammad Khalil to Dravid, no run, short and wide, Dravid goes
after it, the cut shot, but gets beaten

SUCCESSS!!!! (it's the principle)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol nice improvisation by karthik w t f was dat?

 

[tahaqureshi]

maybe india will declare by the end of today so that we have to chase something like 450-500

and then give us the last day so that we buckle and they can enjoy a MASSIVE victory

 

[badxhah]

I think Gangs will allow kartick to gets his 100 then declare

 

[Raz]

Karthik toying with Khalil.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea hes slaughtering him

 

[tahaqureshi]

where is razzaq..y he not bowling?

 

[DM]

Dinesh Karthik
makes me sick
when he steps on the Wick...
..et, he acts like a cheeky fellow

 

[sajjad]

ramiz saying he was born in early 60's

he shud be around 40's...maybe 50's

 

[tahaqureshi]

well im gonna take a small nap and INshallah by the time i wake up....india will have delcared and afridi will have made 70 off 40 and stil going strong..
cya

 

[DM]

Afridi to score 300

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o m g i thought he clearly got that edgw

 

[sajjad]

g night taha
i hope u do

 

[sajjad]

that was close
lets see the replays

 

[DM]

How was it not obvious too Woolmer and the selectors that Khalil, Asif and Rao are plain? I think we are much better off trying someone fast like Irshad or Yasir Ali

 

[sajjad]

nope,
no edge or glove

good decision by Hair

 

[Waseem]

Well look at the positive side, if Dinesh can bat for this long on a so-called dangerous pitch why can't the Pakistanis do that???? I think Harbhajan will be dangerous but otherwise we have long batting lineup.

 

[sajjad]

still half an hour till tea
how much will india score

 

[ataullah]

How did laxman get hurt and how's sami been bowling today?

read the forum and posts above...hehehe!

he did well!

sajjad my eyes r hurting |-Q so i cant be bothered reading above and i'm going sleep now.I hope i dont miss afridis inning lol |-A

if u cannot bother to read. ur better off not knowing.
i do hope u miss a spectaculor afridi innings. for that to happen. He will have to play one. and that cud save pakistan here

I'm back and inshallah i'll not miss the afridi inning.

 

[aabbasi]

DM exactly my thoughts Bro...

Indians are good players of medium pacers and spinners but not good enough against quick men.

We had to get some one who could bowl full and quick into their toes, rib-cage or aim at the neck.

We have lost it really. The art of pakistani bowling was full-agression and we thrived upone it.
Now we are trying to copy Mcgrathish stuff.

Their is a famous proverb for this in Urdu:
"Dhobbi ka kutta, na Ghar ka , na Ghat ka".

...

 

[sajjad]

Aamir blaming it all on Inzi....hehehhe!

why dont our commentators comment without an agenda

 

[sajjad]

Dravid smacks it in the air
falls into the gap and four more runs

 

[Raz]

Pakistan getting hammered

 

[sajjad]

followed by four byes and a double on square leg


and aamir again blaming it all on Inzi..hehehe
this is hilarious

 

[aabbasi]

" 88.1 Danish Kaneria to Karthik, no run, pitched outside the leg stump
and turning in, Karthik takes it on the pad

Danish Kaneria to continue, bowling round the stumps to the left-
hander"

Who is the left hander among Karthik and Dravid ? What are these crack-info guys smoking ?

 

[Rob H]

Dravid starting to hit out

...

True, even if the bowler is a little raw, if he is fast he'd get the odd cracking delivery. And if any of our medium pacers want to be successful in international cricket with a slow pace as McGrath or Pollock have been, a requisite is to have their pinpoint accuracy, which our medium pacers ont have and seems to be a rare talent.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Looks like the best case scenario for Pakistan is a draw since India are in such a strong position. They will probably try to get a lead of around 350-400 before declaring just to ensure they cannot lose.

If a draw is the result, then I wonder what India will prepare for the last test.

 

[sajjad]

karthik almost at a hundred

 

[Raz]

Arun Laal calling Sami a medium pacer!

 

[sajjad]

India likely to give us a target of 340+ after tea

 

[sajjad]

Arun Laal calling Sami a medium pacer!

he has done that through out, and he consistently calls pathan a fast bowler..hahaha

 

[Raz]

D D D D D D D

 

[ataullah]

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

ya allah taha bhai ki dua qabool farma aur har maydaan mein musalmaanon ko fatah naseeb farma. :-D sab bolo ameen

 

[sajjad]

and Dravid finally falls
what an innings

 

[Raz]

Dravid finally gone! Kaneria finally rewarded

 

[Raz]

A wonderful innings from the Wall finally ends.

 

[catwoman]

FINALLY

 

[sajjad]

hmmm
interesting ooint being made

india may not declare at tea.
they might extend lead further
