3rd test commentary thread - pak v india @ karachi

[ataullah]

35.5 Kumble to Akmal, FOUR!!, full toss, turns it to deep square leg, neatly done

 

[His_Excellence_]

Four off Kumble by Kamran to bring up 150 for Pakistan.
the third 50 coming off only 70 balls for Pakistan. The fastest one so far.

 

[Hydro]

150 ups good work u 2

 

[Oxy]

Arun laal .......rahul dravid needs to do something now.....they are 150 for 6 now.....)) he wanted us 50 all out )

151 for 6 now

Cavster-some of OUR own fans wanted us 50 all out at the beginning!

 

[CHANDTARA]

i hate arun lal

 

[samisback]

do u guys now realise how vital razzaq is , he is the reason akmal can play with assurity?

his jobs only half done......still needs to pick 3 wickets!!!!!!!! when comes on bowling!

 

[His_Excellence_]

151/6 now Pakistan. RP Singh in to bowl, Kamran on strike, playing on 67 with a strike rate of 83

 

[CHANDTARA]

Cavster-some of OUR own fans wanted us 50 all out at the beginning!

armchair fans, not die hards like us

 

[His_Excellence_]

Single for Kamran. Razzaq on strike now playing on 44. 152/6 Pakistan

 

[Hydro]

inshallah long mayn this partnership continue

152/6

 

[samisback]

Cavster-some of OUR own fans wanted us 50 all out at the beginning!

i know how can u eeven call em our own fans

152 for 6 now

 

[His_Excellence_]

yeah, it's pretty pathetic how negative some fans can be. I hate the ones who start making comments like "oh! we're going to lose this one for sure" and "oh! Match Fixing!"

 

[samisback]

man this arun laal seriously im telling u peeeps...now hes saying the wickets eased out the balls coming on the bat easily thats why they are able to score this feeely )) n the batters had nothing to do with it ehhh arun???

154 now

 

[His_Excellence_]

154/6
KAMRAN 69
Razzaq 45

 

[samisback]

outtttttttttt that was a huge not outt but gtiven razi

 

[ataullah]

razzaq gone oh nooooooooooooo

 

[Oxy]

OUT...not sure that was out-sounded like a nick

 

[samisback]

what a poor deicisonnnnnnnnn loooked not outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt but given by taufellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll this match is fixed

 

[Nauman]

Oh well it was fun while it lasted, btw Oxy there is a difference between wanting something and predicting something that would happen.

 

[His_Excellence_]

Razzaq gone. BAD decision by Taufel. One of those rare bad ones by Simon. The ball drifting down the leg, and an inside edge onto the pads. Razzaq gone for 45.

 

[samisback]

even boycotts mums was shouting not out not out.............poor poor decision

 

[Saj]

Rubbish decision by Taufel. Another dodgy leg before decision today.

 

[Oxy]

Just seen the repaly

That did NOT look out to me-only kissing leg..but I think there was anick into the pads.

 

[Nauman]

All down to Shoaib Akhtar now

 

[KB]

A bit of late swing for RP Singh, which is what caused Razzaq to miss the ball.

 

[hasanahmad]

well its even now. remember razzaq was plum when on 19 vs Zaheer khan

 

[samisback]

pindi comes down to the middle n i smell him playing on of those block block innings for 3 hours or until kamis there

 

[Oxy]

Oh well it was fun while it lasted, btw Oxy there is a difference between wanting something and predicting something that would happen.

Shame you couldnt post whilst we were getting runs

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Shoaib get your first test fifty today.

 

[samisback]

2 runs to kami 156..........rameez he has lost his patner kami but not his will

 

[His_Excellence_]

Yes it is Nauman. Let's hope he isn't aas negative as you are.

 

[Hydro]

damn yaar if we wanted a bad decision why did it have to eb todaY

 

[samisback]

i think pindi would be going for his shots making a quick fire 50 n then asking younis khan to declare n then knocking 5 indian wickets before the day ends
157 now pak

 

[Nauman]

Shame you couldnt post whilst we were getting runs

LOL you were the one who sent this lone warrior into exile

 

[Oxy]

Another replay-not sure there was a nick.

 

[His_Excellence_]

Well yeah that's true. Razzaq was certainly very plumb against Zaheer. But this was a very bad decision imo. too close to be given so abruptly

 

[Hydro]

Shame you couldnt post whilst we were getting runs

hes not psychic u know

 

[Bitman]

Guys, I just kinda woke up and have no idea whats going on. Can somebody please summarise:

Is this a real green top?
What's up with our team selection?
Can we bowl India out for less than 200 on this pitch?

Thanks

 

[His_Excellence_]

157/7 now pakistan.
shoaib faces kumble for the first time. defends it well

 

[Oxy]

LOL you were the one who sent this lone warrior into exile

You know thats not true...

[samisback]

what a shot 44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 kami cheeta

 

[KB]

Ferocious smash for 4 from Akmal. Goodness me.

 

[sneekysneeky]

indian comm babblin some bull**** while shoaib hits a 4 down the ground

 

[Hydro]

nice shot by shaoib 4

125 or 20 of them wouldnt go a miss

 

[hasanahmad]

looking at the replays again he didnt edge it, it hit his back leg

 

[His_Excellence_]

OUCH! take that RP SINGH says Kamran! Beautiful cover drive by kamran for four.

 

[Nauman]

You know thats not true...

you didnt force me but your word is as good as the action itself

 

[Pace]

We are short a pace bowler. I hope I am wrong about Asif but we might find it difficult to do similar damage to the Indians. Gul would have been a more prudent choice but I guess hindesight is 100%.

 

[samisback]

another square drive bang but just for 1 this time 166 now pak for 7 ..pindi for his maiden 50!!!!!!!

 

[sneekysneeky]

cracking drive from kamran for 4

 

[Hydro]

lovely 4 by kami

 

[CHANDTARA]

Shoaib get your first test fifty today.

inshallah, im praying so much that we get past 200

 

[Oxy]

What the hell did Shiva just say (after Kamis 4?)

"He has a hundred____ and he'll have a million____ in a few years"??

 

[His_Excellence_]

single to kamran. shoaib on strike now to rp singh. plays it uppishly to mid-on. no run

 

[Hydro]

another square drive bang but just for 1 this time 166 now pak for 7 ..pindi for his maiden 50!!!!!!!

inshallah

 

[His_Excellence_]

Calm down OXY! ... it's...shiva.

 

[samisback]

in future we should send pindi as an openor with imran farhat

i gues simon taufell has made a menze for his earlier LBW decision that he gave in favour of razi non the less gr8 knock by razi!!!
166 pak

 

[Hydro]

btw if somehow gat new score of all these 3 300 is a pssiblilty

 

[His_Excellence_]

Shoaib playing well. defending it well. does not look like a number 9 batsman

 

[Oxy]

Just seen the repaly

That did NOT look out to me-only kissing leg..but I think there was anick into the pads.

Rameez quotes me...is he logged into PP?

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

That was a 50 50 decision and batsman should get 50 50 decisions.

 

[rayhan]

Kamran playing like a mini-Beast?

 

[His_Excellence_]

166/7
kamran 77
shoaib 4 (beautiful shot that was)

 

[Oxy]

Calm down OXY! ... it's...shiva.

But what was he blabbering???

 

[His_Excellence_]

dude! karachi always haas the best looking ladies in the crowd.
kamran gets a single off kumble's first ball. shoaib on strike now
167/7

 

[Oxy]

Is sehwag off the field...and will that prevent him opening?

 

[samisback]

shiva : 5 deliveries for kumble dumble to have a go at pindi )) he thinks it a no 11 batting )))

 

[KB]

Kumble getting a bit of turn. Indicates that there is still a bit of moisture in the pitch, as the ball is gripping for Kumble.

 

[samisback]

66666666666666666666666666666 to pindi

 

[His_Excellence_]

But what was he blabbering???

[Hydro]
