[Schiller]

is yasir playing for his own score here?

 

[octavian]

playing for tea i guess

 

[Schiller]

why wasnt he given out???????

damn!
its not like we have all day to play, risks would not be amiss

 

[badxhah]

is yasir playing for his own score here?

Dont say that Immy bahi is gona get upset

 

[MecnunK]

I think Hameed desperately wants his 50..he may cut lose after that..we can hope..

 

[octavian]

we need yasirs wicket

 

[Schiller]

last over before tea

 

[Noddy]

hope u enjoyed afridi's pyrotechnics. The crowd were going beserk !

We need to score quickly as poss for next 25 overs or so....It would be at least 100....to make them think about declaring.

great atmosphere !

 

[ten]

i hope these 2 get out ... ***** they are playing for tea ... idiots

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i'm hoping for a wicket so inzi can have a go

 

[Schiller]

as am I

 

[the true passionist]

there has been talk of Laxman/Kumble partnership might help India draw..

But how is this?

YKhan/YHameed partnership might help them do it...

to be very fair...i dont blame YHameed here...

YKhan and management!!!!!!

 

[Assara K]

tea

 

[MecnunK]

I hope Inzy knocks some frickin sense into these 2 at tea...

 

[ten]

noddy bhai ... why not go at 6 an over from here for 25 overs ... with 9 wickets left this is possible.

that will mean a target of 380 .... please go tell them.

please !!!!

 

[DM]

hope u enjoyed afridi's pyrotechnics. The crowd were going beserk !

great atmosphere !

We sure did Noddy!!! Did you?!!

AMAZING entertainment. Really thrilling! The contrast between the excitement when Afridi's playing and when he's not is huge.

 

[octavian]

We need Yasir's wicket quickly here

 

[MIG]

Looking a bit more positive Pak...

 

[arsal_pakfan]

39 over left in the day!...we need to play 20 ,21 overs here and score over 120 on them atleast!

give India 16,17 overs to play today!...a lead of 350+ in 106 overs is a gr8 total to defend aswell as other team will also think they will have a chance to get that target!...

 

[w4s1m786]

pak should try to aim to hit one 4 an over

 

[badxhah]

MYK is not a hiiter of the ball as u saw frm the first inning
instead of losing 2 wickets at one time one shud saty there

 

[MIG]

YK missing out on a big hit here...SRT serving halwas to be hit...

 

[Nawazb]

they are not attacking like they need to, y khan just getting singles here that is not good enough.

 

[octavian]

YYYAAAAAAASIRRRRRRR

UUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF !!!!!!!!!!

 

[ten]

Ohhh they are not going for win.

Alright then ... great series.

Well done India ... 1-0 ... they deserved it ... better team. No doubt.

 

[badxhah]

I think Yasir is revenging US for not being picked up in ODI team

 

[161]

well hate to say it- but it looks like we are just playing for a draw here- the wicket is still a batting beauty and there is no way we can get another 10 wickets from india.

 

[DM]

Very slow batting

Negative bowling by India, but surely they have to find a way to squeeze more runs. We have 2 batsmen playing with strike rates of 40 and 50 at a time when we need quick runs!

 

[KB]

Two 4's. Good.

 

[pakmandanish]

Current Partnership: 31 runs, 13.3 overs, RR: 2.30

when runs are needed..

 

[octavian]

shuker hai 2 4's by YK. At least he is trying

 

[Nawazb]

younis 2 4s in a row this is what we need.

 

[octavian]

This is criminal . Yasir should be prosecuted for this

 

[Schiller]

some unimagiantive and poor batting here

 

[w4s1m786]

yasi is playing for his lace in the team

 

[Schiller]

another time wastage act here

 

[octavian]

yaar what the f u ck is yasir doing ??

 

[pakmandanish]

we can cry now, because we haven taken the chance to level the series(!)
i am doing it already..

 

[Sage]

Dammit Hameed, c'mon!

 

[Schiller]

cant understand this, what the hell are they waiting for here?????

 

[pakmandanish]

if yasir gets his hundred after 200more balls we have to drop him(!) no tests for him in the next years..

 

[badxhah]

WTH is Yasir Doin plz Tell me

 

[Romali_rotti]

congrads to pak onto victory...

 

[octavian]

bhindians wasting time !!! losers !!

 

[tahaqureshi]

he should get out after his fifty

 

[pakmandanish]

that tells everything:

Current Partnership: 42 runs, 15.2 overs, RR: 2.74


Last Wicket: 91/1 (12.4 ov); Partnership RR: 7.18
Shahid Afridi st Karthik b Tendulkar 58 (34b 8x4 2x6) SR: 170.59

 

[Schiller]

this is pathetic stuff all around

 

[Sage]

******************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[octavian]

Mr. vice captain not even talking to Yasir !!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

wat did they plan at tea???????

 

[w4s1m786]

what a jkoke player defo should be dropped for playing such selfish innings

 

[pakmandanish]

yes sanjay is right, he doubts that this is the "right approach" by yasir.. even indian admit that yasir should be punished

 

[Officer Barbrady]

They should look to keep Hameed on strike.

 

[Schiller]

out ho ja yar (a few swears in urdu)

 

[the true passionist]

i have to blame this on BOB and INZI

 

[MIG]

Maaro Saalon Ko ( yani kay Pakistani batsmanon ko )

 

[Schiller]

yasir is screwing us here, damned fool!!

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Good shot by YK

 

[Schiller]

khan is playing afridi's shot - r sweep-heave

 

[161]

ok i think we should now just bat the remaining 2 days out.

let the bhindians and their fans just sizzle in the sun.

 

[octavian]

this is torturous !!

 

[catwoman]

borrrringgggggggg

 

[w4s1m786]

hamid has cost a chance of winning with his selfish innings

 

[MIG]

lead is 260 and more than enough - Maybe Inzi wants to go up to end of day with whatever score they have from now on ? highest chased so far in India is 276 or something.

 

[Schiller]

i wouldnt mind afridi coming down to slap him with the bat once again

 

[Sage]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hameed you ****!!!!!!

 

[octavian]

yaar even the commentators are bamboozled by this approach.

 

[Schiller]

yar swearing should be allowed rt now !
hameed deserves a few well chosen ones here

 

[catwoman]

they're making me sleepy #$@%%@#

 

[Sage]

I can only hope Hameed gets run out on 49.

 

[the true passionist]

even Arun Lal seems more brilliant than our management....

 

[Schiller]

everyone is saying that yasir is screwing us even arun

 

[Sage]

Hameed brings up his 50 :/

 

[pakmandanish]

hamed after his 50 here,no more hammed(!)

 

[Schiller]

damn him!

 

[Sage]

Now get out you ass!

 

[badxhah]

TY Yasir HAmed

 

[Schiller]

bloody hell, get the fk out !!

 

[MecnunK]

need another 100 atleast...
