[MIG]

Bismillah-e-Rahman-e-Rahim....

Lets see how Pak do today !

 

[MecnunK]

Inshallah, gona knock over India before end of the day...

 

[MecnunK]

nice start by Arshad..tight maiden.

 

[Schiller]

we need sami to come thru here

 

[MecnunK]

yes, through his depression, through his mediocrity, through his lack of results and through his crap hairstyles phase... He has alot to come through that guy..

 

[Awesome Anjum]

4

 

[Schiller]

not to mention the new 'moustache' hes growing

 

[MecnunK]

Did kamal just put down a chance?

 

[Schiller]

yep!
catch dropped

 

[Muddaser]

Well done Kamal!

 

[MecnunK]

not to mention the new 'moustache' hes growing

he is what!!! I swear if they do'nt drop him !!!

Mind you I'll forgive him if he takes 10 wickets in this match..okay let's say even 5.

 

[Bailan]

Yea

2 chances already down against Shewag .... 1 by Younis, the other with Kamal ....

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... i wish i could have a giant sticky surface instead of these two ... rigth now ... but the way Arshad is bowling shewag should fall soon .... *InshAllah*

 

[w4s1m786]

we might aswel star counting how much times we drop sehwag, it may have been hard chance but sehwag will punish us evreytime

 

[Schiller]

oh yes mec, hes growing fungus on the upper lip now
ha

and kamal should have taken the catch but didnt.

 

[Awesome Anjum]

4!

 

[Schiller]

i dont mind the 4s just now

 

[Schiller]

wht the FK cant these guys take sehwag's catches? are they retarded?

 

[octavian]

Salam people,

just woke pup to watch the match. i heard 2 catches have gone down ?

 

[catwoman]

2 chances dropped?! I hope they don't turn out to be too costly. -

 

[MecnunK]

hard chances but at this level it is what seperates men from the boys..

 

[Guest]

they werent chances yaar. I'd like to see one of us taking a "catch" like that standing at silly point!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

asim DID NOT drop catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was a really good block!!!!!!! the ball was coming SOOOOOOOO fast.....

u guyz just need a reason

 

[Schiller]

i saw one going down, asim the einstein was the one then, difficult catch but at that position all catches are difficult.

damned fools!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

they need to attack the stumps.

 

[octavian]

they werent chances yaar. I'd like to see one of us taking a "catch" like that standing at silly point!!!

Dont compare the players to us, compare them to other international level cricketers.

 

[MecnunK]

*lol*

 

[tahaqureshi]

wat do u mean by that aa?

 

[w4s1m786]

wat do u mean by that aa?

bowl straight

 

[Awesome Anjum]

exactly - and the odd bouncer would help.

 

[Schiller]

that was a catch and it was plonked

 

[tahaqureshi]

beautiful bowling by sami!!!!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

they shouldnt worry about the runs just now, attack full out

arshad's appealing needs work

 

[Schiller]

afridi fielding well.

 

[Schiller]

that was damn close, good bowling sami

 

[Schiller]

i apologise for the above statement. sami bowls another no ball

also i wish the keeper would make less noise

 

[Schiller]

sami's bowled 6 overs already, he needs to be taken off now

 

[catwoman]

Anothe 4 by Sehwag

 

[MecnunK]

Yes!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

finally!!

 

[catwoman]

Sami takes a wicket...he should be knighted for this.

 

[Guest]

damn...if only Sami, the useless waste of talent that he is, had been taken off by the idiot captain of ours after 6 overs. very bad captaincy here, no innovation behind it!

 

[MecnunK]

it's the next 2 wickets that will decide the tone of the day...

 

[Schiller]

agree with mec

dravid is going to be the most important one here
if they dont get him before his 30 runs, we're in a spot more so if sehwag is there as well

 

[octavian]

Sami takes a wicket...he should be knighted for this.

Sami has bowled beautifully today. That wicket was always on the cards. He was troubling botht the batsmen,

 

[Schiller]

beautiful ball, almost got dravid

 

[Schiller]

sami is actually using the crease here

 

[MecnunK]

I wonder if Kaneria will be brought on for Dravid

 

[octavian]

He is using the crease. But having problems with noballs

 

[Schiller]

arshad bowling no balls a bit

 

[MecnunK]

lucky piece of crap!

 

[octavian]

Sami should bowl one more here.

 

[Schiller]

could almsot have been out

 

[MecnunK]

he is tiring though, no balls are coming more frequent

 

[MecnunK]

Sami to Sehwag, no run, short ball down the leg, Sehwag ducks, Sami gives a long never ending stare to Sehwag

*lol* sami the bengali tiger

 

[octavian]

Sami stares Sehwag in the eyes, and gets smacked for 4!!!

stupidity

 

[MecnunK]

Sami to Sehwag, FOUR!!, angling outside off, driven to sweeper cover, the ball races like a bullet to the fence and Sami stares again!

 

[tahaqureshi]

im happy with sami......he's back..just needs to keep this consistent form..

 

[tahaqureshi]

dravid's average in bangalore is just 18..his highest score is 60

 

[octavian]

Arshad should be taken off. He looks more like a an ODI bowler

 

[tahaqureshi]

kaneria trouble's dravid..we need him on..in tandem with arshad khan

 

[w4s1m786]

looks like sehwag looks unstoppabe for his 100

 

[ataullah]

Salam Guys,hows sami been bowling?what speed?he seems to be beating them quite a few times.Hows the pitch playing?any spin?

 

[w4s1m786]

inzi is letting things drift by he should bring on kaneria

 

[161]

akmal scares me with those appeals- i was falling asleep then he screams like a nut.

 

[Rob H]

akmal scares me with those appeals- i was falling asleep then he screams like a nut.

) ) ) )

 

[Schiller]

for some reason, sami still cant make breakthrus,
raz on

 

[w4s1m786]

for some reason, sami still cant make breakthrus,
raz on

sami just got ghambir isnt that a beakthrough or am i missing something

 

[Schiller]

i should have made it clearer, foolish me, he doesnt get the more important batsman out .

 

[161]

hmmn inzi not wanting to use danish or afridi- he needs to try something new before dravid gets well set.

 

[161]

i should have made it clearer, foolish me, he doesnt get the more important batsman out .

yes unlike danish who gets the big batsmen (after they score 100 runs)

 

[Schiller]

when did I say anything about kan??

 

[161]

you didn't, i was just making my own point about danish

 

[w4s1m786]

lets hope kaneria gets a breakhrough coz dravid will be hard to dismiss once he is set

 

[octavian]

ddany's spell will be crucial

 

[octavian]

Razzi bowling on pads here. Customary brainlessness from Popeye !!

 

[Schiller]

not wanting to sound pessimistic here but we need one of these out pretty damn soon

 

[octavian]

Sam is the oly one who looked threatening so far.

 

[octavian]

Would you bet on yet another 100 for Dani boy ?

 

[Schiller]

oh hell yes
