3rd Test, Day 3 Official Thread!!! [01/12/05]

[offstump]

shoaib gone went for the big hit

 

[Amir_rulez]

Well played Akhtar.

 

[ali kc]

AKHTAR gone!!

 

[Raz]

Though I'd grace the thread.

We're all thankful for it, we really are

 

[Monsee]

Though I'd grace the thread.

Mona you proved fatal for Shoaib

 

[hasan316]

good batting comes to an end.

 

[Ace Base]

When's lunch?

These two should stick around until then. Gives Inzi even more time to recover.

 

[sneekysneeky]

Shoaib out!

well played Shoaib

 

[ali kc]

Akmal comes out to bat!

 

[CrickFan]

Well played akhtar bhai -- Great Show !!

 

[lakha84]

well played shoaib akhtar , well played, well played

 

[mooz]

Disappointed that Shoaib is out, however I am relieved he doesn't need to take any more body blows. Hopefully when he comes back to bowl, he can still focuse on wicket taking, and not extracting revenge.

Ofocurse I don't mind if he smashes Harmison and Flintoff in the face a couple of times

 

[deviously~fading~away]

akmal in as inzi pads on! akmal has to bat well here

 

[Ace Base]

When's lunch?

These two should stick around until then. Gives Inzi even more time to recover.

Spoke too soon. Again.

 

[Monsee]

A job well done by Shoaib

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal in now. inzi putting his pads on now.

 

[ali kc]

And Inzi is getting ready...padding up

 

[CrickFan]

I hope ..the rest take a cue ..and bat sensibly ..akhtar has shown the way..there is nothing in the pitch

 

[Raz]

Mona you proved fatal for Shoaib

I was going to say that we well. Mona how could you do that?! Shoaib ko jinx kar diya!!

 

[hasanahmad]

Pakistan's Tendulkar comes into bat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

9 overs left till new ball is due! Thats a crucial point in game!

 

[CrickFan]

Cricinfo stops reloading when Pakistan is doing well .. Now that a wicket has fallen ..it is working fine

 

[Monsee]

Pakistan 41 behind with 9 overs till the new ball

Inzi coming in next, not looking good for Inzi after the injury

Akmal and YoMo must shield him from it

 

[catwoman]

I was going to say that we well. Mona how could you do that?! Shoaib ko jinx kar diya!!

Oh well, he'll make up for it with his bowling.

 

[Monsee]

Time to shut the voice...Bootha on for commenting

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal off mark with 4 past the slips.

251/5

 

[hatch101]

Shoib Akhtar broke his personal best for Tests today!...38 runs....his former HS was 37!

 

[Amjid Javed]

signs of uneven bounce now. 100 lead would be masive here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal beaten by a lovely outswinger.

 

[hatch101]

Cricinfo stops reloading when Pakistan is doing well .. Now that a wicket has fallen ..it is working fine

funny because now mine is messed up!

 

[Raz]

Oh well, he'll make up for it with his bowling.

Yeah yeah i know you want to make yourself feel better by saying that but its not going to change a thing. He was on for his half century at least and your comment had a direct effect (negative ) on him which caused the wicket to fall.

 

[Monsee]

Waqar doing "Maan Behan aik" of English as usual

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo. single for kami

pak 253/5

 

[mooz]

if the wicket is so flat how come England's 13 players only got 280 odd?

 

[Ace Base]

Cricinfo down, Cricinfo down.

So you guys got any news, today?

 

[sneekysneeky]

Waqar doing "Maan Behan aik" of English as usual

seriously.... this is ridiculous!

 

[Ace Base]

if the wicket is so flat how come England's 13 players only got 280 odd?

That's what I like to know.

Oh, yes, Pakistan, the village club idiots, just got lucky.

And Bush is intelligent.

 

[Monsee]

Cricinfo down, Cricinfo down.

So you guys got any news, today?

About what?

Pak is 253-5 BTW

 

[mooz]

Cricinfo down, Cricinfo down.

So you guys got any news, today?

[hatch101]

Cricinfo down, Cricinfo down.

[Monsee]

[mooz]

You know Bush is actually smart, he only puts on the dumbo act.

 

[Ace Base]

Plonky not doing too bad, huh?

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo

pak 257/5

 

[mooz]

also try plus.cricinfo.com

 

[CrickFan]

Akmal bhai - ek half century maar ley yaar ..that will be invaluable in the context of the match - yoyo should just drop anchor ..and avoid risk (although that is not his natural style )

 

[offstump]

this plunkett guy isnt as slow as i thought, low to mid 80's not bad

 

[ali kc]

Waqar commentary is just pathetic!!

 

[offstump]

5 overs till the new ball

 

[Ace Base]

here you go another scorecard!

Thank you Hatch101.

 

[tahaqureshi]

hey guys..just came back from school..

can anyone tell me what exactly happened to inzi??

 

[CrickFan]

Maybe slightly early to say - But I think shoaib might have played the most valuable innings of this series - He has caused enough psychological scars on Englishmen by surving that long and making invaluable 38 runs..what do u guys say ..they were expecting to knock of the tail in no time

 

[offstump]

waqar's fake accent is really annoying...he tries so hard

 

[Amjid Javed]

hey guys..just came back from school..

can anyone tell me what exactly happened to inzi??

u must have been at school along time. iniz got injured ysday!

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 258/8

 

[hatch101]

hey guys..just came back from school..

can anyone tell me what exactly happened to inzi??

hmm..got hit by Harmissons' ball on his wrist....retired...is supposed to come back today to bat!

 

[zushy_786]

hey guys..just came back from school..

can anyone tell me what exactly happened to inzi??

He got hurt yesterday on the forearm from a short ball from Harmison......Just a bruise, he will play today....

 

[hatch101]

pak 258/8

no way dont lie!

 

[offstump]

hahahah what the hell is pieterson doing at silly mid on...what a stupid stance i think he was taking a duke in his pants!

 

[MIG]

Totally...I said that 15 minutes ago

What the F*** are those damn Vampires doing especially that Fat Harami Hair

Anyone remember Aquib Javed Vs Devon Malcolm incident - hadd hoti hai ICC kee na insafee kee!

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 259/5

 

[tahaqureshi]

u must have been at school along time. iniz got injured ysday!

yeah i know he got injured..but i didnt get time to read the details yesterday

 

[mooz]

Akmal is making the pitch, and these mediocre bowlers, look very good.

 

[Monsee]

Big man with pads on

 

[mooz]

Anyone remember Aquib Javed Vs Devon Malcolm incident - hadd hoti hai ICC kee na insafee kee!

Good memory MIG uncle

 

[sneekysneeky]

What's up fellow Atlantian...nice stream

Thanks again

Youre welcome. No training tomorrow?

 

[ali kc]

What kind of bat (Brand) is Akmal using? Anyone?

 

[zushy_786]

Big man with pads on

And England are crapping in their pants as said by Waqar

 

[offstump]

What kind of bat (Brand) is Akmal using? Anyone?

something called TITAN

 

[zushy_786]

What kind of bat (Brand) is Akmal using? Anyone?

Afridi's

 

[deviously~fading~away]

5 min before lunch, lets not lose a wicket now

 

[Monsee]

What kind of bat (Brand) is Akmal using? Anyone?

Says "Titan", I don't remember what make is that

 

[CrickFan]

He is the weakest batsman compared to his peers - Gilchrist , Sangkarra , Dhoni , Mccullum ..and even boucher - he has to be more solid ..one good innings no matter how great is not enough

 

[mooz]

In between the broken english waqar does squeeze in some good points.

 

[Monsee]

Youre welcome. No training tomorrow?

It is on, but at this point it is mostly self study...real stuff starts in a few days

How is school going for you

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Waqar calling Botham 'Biffy'

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 260/5

 

[offstump]

i think manjrekar is a closet pakistani

 

[zushy_786]

In between the broken english waqar does squeeze in some good points.

Really like when ?? And I can't understand him through his multi-accented phrases...
