[Oxy]

Peach of a drive 1st ball after lunch

 

[luvthegame]

First ball ...Kami hits a 4...

 

[luvthegame]

All batsmen except Butt gave away their wickets...poor technique. Look at AR and K Akmal, they are defending and playing on bad deliveries.

Keep the good work Razi and Kami...

 

[rayhan]

Pak 106/6

Deano reminiscing here about playing on this ground and especially Javed Miandad. hehehehe.....Deano is a gr8 commentator.

 

[samisback]

First ball ...Kami hits a 4...

[Oxy]

First ball ...Kami hits a 4...

[samisback]

444444444444444444 to kami off bacha pathan welcomes him after lunch, thats how u drive Elan

 

[rayhan]

Splendid shot by Kamran. 44 all the way,.

 

[Oxy]

...shot of the day. glorious straight drive for 4!

 

[nadeem]

I think cricinfo should be renamed crack-info after statements like these. Dunno what they are on but honestly how can u mistake gangoo for khan.

25.1 Ganguly to Kamran Akmal, three runs, Zaheer starts off with a full
length deliver on the leg stump, Kamran Akmal drives through the
line, and Sachin Tendulkar manges to pull it back inches from the
long-off fence

 

[ataullah]

110-6 getting better

 

[Slugger]

zaheer pathan and singh

shoaib asif razzaq

 

[samisback]

Pak 106/6

Deano reminiscing here about playing on this ground and especially Javed Miandad. hehehehe.....Deano is a gr8 commentator.

[rayhan]

Pak 110/6
Kamran 37
Razzi 34

 

[octavian]

W t F Happened guys ??

i dont watch it for one session and this is what happens ?

 

[samisback]

110 now pak

 

[rayhan]

he said javed made 211 but we had him out 6 times i swear these aussies ehh

Too true...dang Aussies

 

[Somali Pirate]

i agree with u.......but the shorts they played were no way near being classified as agressive ...freedi even was casstled due to no foot movement n the swing of the ball...their techniques being explored.........i still blv attack is the best form of defence they are going to get all out im sure at some stage why not die fighting n putting some runs on the board!

so afridi,yoyo,farhat were playing defensive shots?

 

[samisback]

W t F Happened guys ??

i dont watch it for one session and this is what happens ?

now we all know whose fault it is........we all blame u now!

 

[rayhan]

massive appeal on Razzi....clear miss. The Indians piling on the pressure here.

 

[samisback]

a huge shout for caught behind ..there was sunshine btw ball n bat........duh..patnership now 72!

 

[rayhan]

Deano all praise for Kamran.

 

[samisback]

so the engagment bit doing the trick for kami ...n not so much so for salman butt whose been exposed badly......... 111 for 6 now pak................pathan will be bowling to razi in the next over

 

[rayhan]

if salman butt keeps playing like he has been doing against India, Butt's in-laws to be should cancel his marriage.

 

[samisback]

shiva wants kumble in the attack ;;deano u speaking as leg spinner or as a captain )

 

[octavian]

i cant belive this bowler who looks very ordinary at the moment just took a hat-trick

 

[rayhan]

Razzi leaving semi-decently here.

Pak 111/6

Maiden from Pathan here.

 

[samisback]

44444444444444444 kami samshes it through the covers shot of the match so far

 

[rayhan]

Magnifique shot by Kamran for 4.....

 

[samisback]

moves too 996 needs another boundary to reach 1000!!!

 

[Oxy]

Exsquisto shoto....

 

[hasan316]

i cant belive this bowler who looks very ordinary at the moment just took a hat-trick

just some good bowling at the right time of the day

 

[badxhah]

i cant belive this bowler who looks very ordinary at the moment just took a hat-trick

Its all about makin best use of the conditions and the new ball which pathan did beautifully..

u have to give credit where is due

 

[the_game]

Kamran looks really determined. Hopefully he will continue.

 

[samisback]

Razzi leaving semi-decently here.

Pak 111/6

Maiden from Pathan here.

i think the plan is...for kami to attack n razi to hold on end up if u know what i mean,......,.,.another 444444444444444 to kami with that brings his 1000 th run in test cricket!!!

 

[samisback]

another 44444444444444 down the ground what cracking shotssssssssssss 123 now pak

 

[rayhan]

1000 test runs for Kamran.... magnificient 4 for Kamran..Deano and Shiva all praise.
back to back 4's by Kamran....

 

[Oxy]

Kami looking world class-and gets his 1000th run in test cricket...and follows with another 4!!

 

[Hydro]

if we cna some get it above 275 then we have a chance

but 250 minfor anysort of advantage

 

[samisback]

Kamran looks really determined. Hopefully he will continue.

inshAllah!!!!! now kami on 49!!!!!!!!!!

 

[octavian]

go kami !!

 

[samisback]

a huge shoutttttttt the indians are devestated they thought it was out......lets have a look peeps

 

[Hydro]

great shots by kami

bloody hell pak were 6/39 inzi dosent play we collapse great news!!!

 

[the_game]

Moin Khan in the Calcutta test. Kamran is as much of a fighter as Moin was. Keep going cheetay.

 

[Big Mac]

he still needs to bat on this pitch so lets wait n watch shall we?

Eh what? You're saying you can't drive the ball without moving your feet. I'm sure I've seen Sehwag score a run or two by doing just that. It's got nothing to do with whether he has had a chance to bat on this wicket or not.

 

[samisback]

i think there was some bat in that one.................quick single well done razi...thats more like it rotate the strike!!!!!!!11

 

[rayhan]

massive appeal, was that going down leg....Indians look

as I write...chance for run-out razzi takeing too many risks.

 

[Hydro]

is the pitch a baller paradise

 

[KB]

Indians appealing vehmently at Daryl Harper's end. Perhaps, they feel Harper is a bit vulnerable

 

[Hydro]

kami 50

 

[Oxy]

What A Shot To Get To 50!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[samisback]

smashedddddddddddd 4444444444444444 to kami brings his 50 up well done kami boyyyyyyyyyyyyy already fiances prayers being answered ehh

 

[rayhan]

magnificent shot 444 all the way..stand and deliver shot by Kamran...50 for him. Well done.

 

[octavian]

WOw... good going Kami.. what a brilliant lil gem of a knock !!

 

[the_game]

Probably Kamran's most precious test inning! Keep going jawan.

 

[Hydro]

can i ask wat oyu think is par score on this pitch

 

[Oxy]

Where are all the doom-mongerers that posted all that cra[p 2 hours ago? Sure we are still 200 runs short of a good score...but those that SLATED Pak should come back and say how GOOD Kami and Raz are playing....

 

[Big Mac]

Probably Kamran's most precious test inning! Keep going jawan.

Are you forgetting his century at Mohali?

 

[rayhan]

Deano saying something along the lines of: What a fine player Kamran Akmal. Polite and well mannered to boot. Amazing.

 

[Hydro]

kami and razzaq our saviours

 

[samisback]

can i ask wat oyu think is par score on this pitch

averge first innings score on this wicket is 283........if we can get anywhere near that should be gud!!!

 

[Oxy]

There was an element of 'BEASTINESS' in the cover drive that brought up Kamis 50!

 

[nedian21]

MASHALLAH. well done Kami is proving that his tons against England and previously a test saving one in Mohali were not fluke. To score a high quality 50 coming at 35/6 on a green top is some achievement. keep going Kami boy

 

[Somali Pirate]

akmal shows his team mates on how to play

 

[sneekysneeky]

great 50 kamran!

 

[samisback]

kumble dumble comes into the attack kami reminds me of gilly in so many ways!!!!

 

[Hydro]

pak aim must be somehow to bat the day out

 

[ataullah]

kumble on now

 

[the_game]

Are you forgetting his century at Mohali?

Oh for sure not! Mohali was class. But no Inzi means a lot to this team. Somebody had to do it to lift everyone else up.

 

[ataullah]

oh no razi facing kumble

 

[samisback]

razi looking to attack kumble dumble straight away.........hmmmm 128 for 6!

 

[Somali Pirate]

[ataullah]
