[Schiller]

Veeru is going to be the Key

 

[Amjid Javed]

MIG you still have not answered my question man. CAN I, CAN I, CAN I, CAN I?? HUH? HUH > HUH?

 

[Hash]

declare soon. I think we should go for 2 or 3 more overs

 

[Schiller]

they really are wasting a lot of time here. this should be the last over

 

[Hash]

declare soon. I think we should go for 2 or 3 more overs

 

[w4s1m786]

350 lead

 

[catwoman]

Pathetic behavior by the Indians

4!!! 50 run partnership

 

[Schiller]

Declare now

 

[MecnunK]

couple more overs..another 20 runs...still risky on this wicket but what the hell..

 

[Hash]

13 overs left today. We want to give ourselves 8 or so overs at India. I think we should bat for 3 more overs.

 

[Waseem]

I think they are still bit slow but not THAT slow, don't you guys think that Sehwag can do almost same what Afridi did???? We need to give them only 5-8 overs in the end and we can still afford to play another 5 overs.

 

[Wasif]

i think they are aiming for a lead of 375 .. hopefully they will declare after 1or 2 overs ..

 

[adi 101]

shot by younis a reverse sweep slog what a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MIG]

beat the brother in law..



Maaro saaley ko.


MIG you still have not answered my question man. CAN I, CAN I, CAN I, CAN I?? HUH? HUH > HUH?

Hey can u what ? ....

 

[adi 101]

i didnt know he can bat left handed

 

[Sage]

Nice shot!

 

[catwoman]

Four!!

 

[Schiller]

now that was a Shot!!!!

 

[adi 101]

chuckie in to the atack...........

 

[Cartman]

Sing praises of Souwar Ganguly and his crew of girly little men without getting banned?

 

[ali kc]

Over 300 runs scored on every day of this test...

so i guess inzi doing the right thing .... 375 should be the max lead though!

btw I have seen Younis Khan play more reverse sweeps in this tests than all reverse sweeps ever seen played!

 

[MecnunK]

exactly we are 240 for 2 and with the exception of Hameed we have been playing it like a one dayer. This pitch is still dead and a batters paradise..

 

[adi 101]

i remember it saying in a article that yks father liked to see him do well obviouly like anyones father but its sad that he never got to see his son become vice captain or score a double aganst india.....

 

[Noddy]

shot youni !!!!

 

[adi 101]

hes bowled his ilegal doosra again!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

the thing mec is we need overs to bowl them out too

 

[Amjid Javed]

~ i see chickzaman is still batting

what a coward.....!

X) X) X) if pakistan fail 2 win this due to a few extra overs needed then he shud be sacked!

 

[Waseem]

Younis has slapped on the face of Indian bowlers who had been implying the NEGATIVE tactics by reverse sweeping both Kumble and Chucky.......WELL DONE KHAN SAAB!!!

 

[adi 101]

another message is being sent to the players via drink

 

[Sage]

AJ, don't be ridiculous.

You've seen our bowling in action.

 

[adi 101]

know like the comentator is saying if yk gets closer to a hundred inzy will have to let him bat on...so more time is wasted

 

[w4s1m786]

inzi aint got enough confidence in the bowlers to defend 370

 

[Hash]

if I was Inzi I would bat for one more over

 

[tahaqureshi]

if yk gets a century here...it would truly be amazing

certainly deserved of the man of the series award

 

[adi 101]

shot by younis 4

 

[Sage]

4!!

 

[Schiller]

how are we going to get their 10 wkts, when they couldnt get 3 of ours

 

[MecnunK]

with our bowlers I cant blame him...

 

[tahaqureshi]

i think inzi is aiming for 400

 

[Cartman]

YK had a good test. his epic double hundred in the first innings and now this one here .. good improv all over from the much maligned vice captain, deserves to bat on for another hundred but we should declare unless he can pull a Fridi and hit 20 some in one over.

 

[OZGOD]

If Pakistan are still batting at the end of the day I can't see your bowlers taking 10 wickets in 3 sessions.

 

[adi 101]

how much has younises average jumped by from the start of this test to the end we will have to wait for him to go out

 

[catwoman]

lead of 375 now, they should be declaring now

 

[tahaqureshi]

we only need 25 more to reach 400..i think inzi and yk should go for it..c'mon guyz..lets support the boys..put all of our views about when to dseclare etc. aside...these are the times they need us most

 

[MecnunK]

besdies a few overs are neither here nor there now.. those two missed catches coming to haunt us ..

 

[Hash]

if they get it in the next couple of overs then fine.
As long as we can have 5 or so overs to India tonight as a minimum......a wicket tonight would do us wonders

 

[Sage]

4!!!

 

[adi 101]

lead of 382

 

[Cartman]

Not necessarily. I think we can do it if we manage to get Sehwag out early. Declaring now and having them bat 5-10 overs is more of a pscyhological ploy .. test them to see if they can see off those 5-10 overs.. nothing more.. Its a gamble. it may or may not work.

i still dont really see any reason why we cannot bowl them out tomorrow. Its just a matter of bowling with a plan and heart and the friggin umpires bringing their damn spectacles with 'em.

 

[tahaqureshi]

just three big 6's and we have a lead of 400!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

very valid pt mec, what really has cost us are the two dropped catches there

 

[adi 101]

we have declared!!!!!!!!

 

[Sage]

Hmmm 50 overs, very interesting
not too creative though

 

[adi 101]

finally pakistan declare.....

 

[adi 101]

yk sacrifices his hundred very impresive......

 

[ali kc]

Good move!

I think they declared at a perfect total

We cannot lose from here sehwag or no sehwag!

 

[Hash]

India need 383 to win?

 

[MecnunK]

Comne'on Saaaaaaaaaaaami!!!!

 

[Sage]

Please Sami, get Virender out.

Bowl right at his throat, cramp him up

 

[adi 101]

i think inzy should give danish a couple of overs by the end of the day

 

[Amjid Javed]

finally pakistan declare 383 ahead... no need to bat on for so long!

 

[Schiller]

We need veeru !!
Sami boysie, let it rip, which is not the same as bowling at 150

 

[tahaqureshi]

well lets all just assume that yk would have got his century..so....

CONGRATS MYK!!!!!!!!!

 

[OZGOD]

Sehwag is the key wicket. Get him and the Indians should go into their shell. Question is, can you get him?

 

[adi 101]

i have heard people saying that pakistan are stupid blah blah they should be bowling to sehwags neck blah blah whos going to bowl at his neck dansih? arshad? afridi? razzaq can do it but he hasnt got the pace to trouble him that leaves sami the only one and to be honest i dont think he has the brain........but comeone sami!!!!!!!

 

[ali kc]

younis khan would have gotten his century and his triple century in the first innings if he/pakistan really wanted to. But a win for Pakistan comes before personal milestones.

 

[Cartman]

I am really impressed by the big man's captaincy and also by YK. Declaring now sends a strong message. We are not afraid and have faith in our bowlers, also sends another strong message tha we do not chase personal glory or landmarks..

GOOD JOB PAKISTAN. in my eyes this innings of 84 from YK is more precious than Lara's 400

 

[tahaqureshi]

sami needs to bowl deliveries right at veeru's throat and perfect yorkers in a mix

 

[Sage]

Give Sami and Afridi the new ball!!!

 

[HAFRIDI]

good decision

amjid u gota realise its a very flat track its dead, we needed to set this kind of total, cmmon bhai...

 

[tahaqureshi]

india got 7 overs to bat..meaning sami got 4 overs to uproot veeru's stumps

 

[MecnunK]

finally pakistan declare 383 ahead... no need to bat on for so long!

Yes there was, this pitch hasnt crumbled and even 382 is a gettable target giving India's batting strength. Our batters have been hammering the Indian spinners for half a day, why cant the Indians do the same...even hameed scored 77 here...
