3rd test thread - india v pakistan @ bangalore (day 1) [23/03/05]

[Officer Barbrady]

8 overs left in days play....

am surprised india havent taken new ball yet...

Gang is worried that at 120Kph from Pathani baba , Inzi will demolish whatevers left of the bowling....maybe Kumble can take the new ball ?

not that our opening bowler is quicker by any means... :-D

 

[Amjid Javed]

sami is just a pie thrower...

 

[tahaqureshi]

300 up

 

[w4s1m786]

sami is just a pie thrower...

he is certainly the quicest pie throwwer going around

 

[MIG]

6 overs to go for Inzi to get 200 !! 176 now.... cmon Inzi....

 

[Kashif]

Agree with comma, the wasim reference is getting really annoying. Maybe a superstition that it will help Pathan get a wicket.

 

[Sage]

yes our medium bowlers hit and retire one of their batsmen

their fast bowlers hit one of ours in the back and get treated with no grimace and a six to boot

 

[Kashif]

India have done a Multan here. Hoping they would win the toss and apply pressure with a big score.

 

[Uzi]

New ball taken, Pathan to continue

 

[Kashif]

New ball will either mean wickets or some useful quick runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

i wana see inzi get 300 tmoz inshallah!

 

[tahaqureshi]

300 partnership!!!!!!

 

[Schiller]

300 run partnership, well done!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

wow 7/2 >>> 307/2

gr8 stuff mashallah!

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Agree with comma, the wasim reference is getting really annoying. Maybe a superstition that it will help Pathan get a wicket.

agreed though Wasim wouldn't have enjoyed bowling on this track either.

 

[Schiller]

nazar naa lagaa, nazar naa lagaa

 

[Uzi]

Balaji to share the new ball with Pathan

 

[Sage]

Inzi!

 

[tahaqureshi]

i hope both yk AND inzi get a double century tomorrow..inzi looks likely to Inshallah but myk still needs to do some hard work..

as i speak..THAT WAS ALMOST OUT!!!!!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 311/2

4 over left in days play....

 

[tahaqureshi]

hopefully yk can break his highest score again!

inzi has become the highest scorer EVER in bangalore beating tendy's 177 in 98 vs aus

 

[Vegitto]

how many more runs needed before this becomes the highest partnership in the world

 

[tahaqureshi]

inzi on 180..psychologically, that seems very close to 200..if inzi gets it, it will be a deep mental blow for india

 

[the SHA]

think cricinfo commentator got a bit excited, this is the highest partnership for any wicket (by Pak) against & in India. None other than Javed bhai when he made 280*, during a partnership of 451 with Muddasser

 

[Officer Barbrady]

OK well done Inzi and Yk. time to sleep here plz make sure no one gets out before close of play! and comma don't mention the number of minutes left..

 

[tahaqureshi]

well i think miandad and mudassar nazar have made 471 partnership once

 

[Schiller]

wont do it marooned :-D

 

[tahaqureshi]

kumble in for hte second last over of the day

 

[badxhah]

Wat Inzy has done has made stoopid Arun LAL shut up
Ravi and Arun talkin abt indiviual highest Pakistani scorses Vs Ind.
Ravi-If inzy can concentarte a few more mins he could he even geta 300 here
Arun replies with SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT

 

[the SHA]

doH! Im wrong. That partnership was in Hyderabad, our one!

 

[badxhah]

kumble in for hte second last over of the day

fAST BOWLERS SHUD OPERATE WID THE NEW BALL IF THEY WANT TO GET WICKETS

 

[MIG]

Kumble to share new ball with Balaji - hmmm Pathan will bowl when the ball is old and can take spin,....

 

[DM]

exactly MIG, Pathan will be relishing bowling on the crumbling wicket in the later days

 

[Sage]

D

Anyone remember when Zaheer Khan started bowling left arm spin in a Test match.

 

[Schiller]

inzi closes the day with a bloody 4

 

[w4s1m786]

323/2 at stumps

 

[nadeem]

"Anyone remember when Zaheer Khan started bowling left arm spin in a Test match."

And just like forest gump he just kept on doing the same ever since.

 

[DM]

Brilliant stuff - we've annihilated them today.

The only concern if we want to win this match is how to go about bowling them out
