2nd test Pak vs. England : day 1 thread.

[Ace Base]

A warm, dark patch appears on the front of the trousers of the English players.

Some, like Giles and Harmlessone are concealing more sinister, darker and evil-smelling lumpy patches on the back of their pants...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

premeditated sweep fro 2 by afridi playing well here every ball to its merit reminds me of his WI 122 innings

 

[Ace Base]

Afridi is one run away from guaranteeing himself a Test average of exactly 35.00...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

chawka! pulled away by fridi to Homoson

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

mistimed pull goes to long on for a single

 

[the_game]

Waqar is a puppet. It wasn't a clean catch, moron!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nobody knew where that last ball went lol except the cameraman!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Waqar is a puppet. It wasn't a clean catch, moron!

he just said it looked very debatable

 

[adi 101]

afridi and inzy doing well

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Inzy picking out fielders.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

240-4 after 72 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

im guessing inzi hopes to shephard the tail and milk the big runs then thus he isnt going for any risks yet

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi comes down the ground but gets nothing for it been stuck on 56 for a while

 

[Easa]

Afridi is back!!!! Just got back from school!!!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Has afridi been playing sensibly..or is he just lucky to still be out there at 32 off 35?

 

[whyhkk]

actually playing sensibly

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

he has been playing very well actually taha playing every ball to its merit and consolidating with inzi

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

34 off 37 now Afridi took a single off hoggard

 

[Ace Base]

Seven more overs before the new ball's due.

Vaughn saving Flintoff and Hogagrd until then.

I say, make hay.

While Udal's on.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

maybe we should start a countdown to afridi century thread early he is really looking like it today HAHAHA wat a quick single by inzi for a moment i forgot who was batting

 

[Ace Base]

Hoggard's on....hmmm....maybe the new ball won't be taken today after all.

 

[Somali Pirate]

how long before afridi catches up to inzimam

 

[adi 101]

droped!!!!!!

 

[Munda Pakistani]

Afridi comes in, smashes three fours in a row and a six a while later. The English wet their pants and put the field back. Now he's milking singles easily!

Brilliant!

This is one aspect of The Afridi that I was not aware of - brains.

 

[KB]

DOWN, loose shot

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

afridi dropped by vaughn!

 

[adi 101]

slapped back by inzy!4 runs

 

[the_game]

The beast can't be put into shackles today!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

smashed by inzi for 4!

 

[Somali Pirate]

the beast dropped by hoggard.


make them pay

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

250-4 now go Pakistan

 

[Ace Base]

It was fear that made Vaughan drop it. Fear of The Beast.

I won't call that a chance.

 

[adi 101]

big six by afridi

 

[pacman]

The Beast wakes up again.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

partnership going well 49 from 64 make that 55 from 65!! what a shot!! detonation six from fridi

 

[tahaqureshi]

They shall pay for that droped catch off Afridi!!!!

 

[yk]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssstttttttttttttt 6

 

[offstump]

6 outta the statidum!

 

[aamir]

especially when he said it was a clean catch as it shows bell opening then closing his hands agn over the ball lol

Would be nice to one of our guys have the guts to say something like. So looks like Bell's a cheat

Worry not, The Beast shall avenge all injustices today, Inshallah.

I think we are even, cause one of the calls against Inzi was pretty close. And in my opinion Inzi was out. But it was despicable how Botham was trying to cover it up bump catch.

 

[the_game]

Entertainment!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Afridi back to 100 s/r was a lil worried for a moment )

 

[lahori]

Entertainment!

pure entertainment

 

[Ace Base]

Pakistan, Inshallah should close at around 290 for no further loss.

Rested, The Beast shall have Flintoff and Hoggard for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Harmlessone won't take the field tomorrow. He'll be weak from crapping all night long after experiencing The Beast nightmares.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

improvised sweep for single by inzi

 

[KB]

Inzi playing a touch freely. A few pre-meditated shots, which is rare for Inzi. I would prefer to see him play normally.

 

[adi 101]

big six by afridi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yk]

6 over midwicket BEEEEASSSSTTTTT

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

six!!! agn afridi on 48 now!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Big Six!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sadly doubt raza will be back anytime soon

 

[offstump]

another massive 6 fromt he beast

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

264-4 after udal over

 

[the_game]

Giles and Udal bhai, aap ghar chalay jaao, apni beizatti mat karao yaar!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi will get his 50 next over Inshallah

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Inzi is going to be embarassed soon as Afridi will overtake his score. Maybe that's why INzi's opening up a bit more now lol.

 

[Ace Base]

The Beast is raging now.

I hope the English have paid their dues. Because Qiyaamah is being unleashed in the form of The Beast.

 

[Munda Pakistani]

Giles and Udal bhai, aap ghar chalay jaao, apni beizatti mat karao yaar!

I have a hunch that's exaclty what they want!

 

[pacman]

What a shot by Inzi

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shot for 4 by inzi! kinda outshown by afridi by this was a great drive!

 

[Team Slayer]

AceBase...you are my new hero

easy now Inzi...you ain't no Afridi

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

partnership of 68! - inzi looking good now as well

 

[Ace Base]

Please, please, if there are any under 18 year olds around here, please log off. This violence, this bloodfest from The Beast will leave you disturbed for life.

 

[tahaqureshi]

75.3 Hoggard to Inzamam, FOUR!!, wide and driven to extra cover, through the gap at covers and the English skipper does look worried

LOLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 balls to go and fridi on stirke with 48

 

[the_game]

I have a hunch that's exaclty what they want!

Qayamat waits for no one, as Ace Base said .

 

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR overs till new ball..I think that has something to do with it

 

[adi 101]

hogard to inzy jones standing up to the wickets
1) no run
2) same sort of shot same result
3)driven by inzy beutiful shot for four runs go inzy! (england shoulders are starting to drop)
4) punched of back foot for single
5) (THE AFRIDI ON STRIKE) left alone by afridi outside of stump
6) pulled away of front foot that is the fifty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pulled away for 2 afridi's fifty is here

 

[tahaqureshi]

Gets his fifty!!!!! well played afridi!

 

[MIG]

I think Afridi is overrated and cant bat..........



NOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! What a cracker of an innings !

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

new ball due in 4 overs

 

[yk]

Slap in the face of Boycott, who said, this guy (Afridi) cannot concentrate for 2 mins. Go kill ureself Boycott, Afridi has got a 50....hahahahahaha

 

[the_game]

Afridi determined to prove his exclusion in the first test wrong, unfortunately for England!

 

[adi 101]

how many overs left in the day?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon afridi lets get that avge up to 40 by the end of this innings

 

[adi 101]

giles back in to the attack and he is bowling to inzy........

 

[tahaqureshi]

Inzi has played 100 more balls than afridi, but is only 15 runs ahead!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and giles on to "hold afridi back" )

 

[MIG]

New Ball is crucial - we must see it off without losing any more wickets !!!

But Afridi - well done and thanks for the memories....
