4th Day, 1st Test at Mohali, scorecard and discussion thread [10/03/05]

[Imy]

Guys except for that seccond day I think Pakistan bowled well on the 3 days, dont forget if Tedu was given out the lead would be only around 40 runs. Pakistan ro take heart thay put on a miserable show with the ball, and played on seaming track on the seccond day and are still 50 % chance to save the game. I think if they draw this game they will have a lot of confidence.

[Fessal]

nothing wrong posting here before 4th day as long as its regarding 4th day. eg preview, strategy, tactics, weather etc.

 

[badxhah]

That Second day really did the damage it gave the indians moment ..but Pakistan came back good on 3rd but still they have verryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go in this match

 

[Fessal]

I hope Thackeray and co come and dig up the pitch tonight ..............would be GREATTTTTTTTT news for Pak as would save us losing the test.

 

[the true passionist]

he wud do it if India were losing!

 

[badxhah]

If somebody saw the catch Astle took to dismiss hayden in the slips he would kill taufeeq by now

 

[sajjad]

yeah. what a catch

NZ giving them a great fight

 

[sajjad]

i think the reason India have slowed down is that they dont want to give pakistan the batting till the pitch deteriorates a little further and they dont want to bat again. they know our batting standard. they can easily fall in 30-40 overs even, so theyll take theyr time and get us to bat once the pitch is taking more turn

 

[badxhah]

next match kab hai bahi log yeh toh gaya

 

[badxhah]

wat is sorry to see is that other bowlers getting Reverse Swing and getting wickets with it.

 

[MIG]

HAppu birthday to AJ - pls record your (good) wishes for AJ in the TimePAss thread.....

 

[sajjad]

laxman timing it beautifully

 

[Naveed]

Man Danish is currenlty our only world class bowler.

 

[DM]

GOOGLY BY DANISH!!!

Great delivery (apparently)

 

[MIG]

The pain of watching this pathetic display is too much...Our fielding is abysmal and barring Kaneria - looks to me we dont want to be in the field - sad and an insult to the great players of the past...

 

[catwoman]

Watching Pakistan play really depresses me now ^

 

[DM]

I could do with an injection of pure Afridi Adrenaline and Caffeine

 

[octavian]

Younis Drops another one !!! drop number 4 for younis

great going by Mr. Vice Captain

 

[badxhah]

MYK and Tuefeq shud be droped becuz of their feilding

 

[MIG]

I think YK is thinking about the 400 he will score when he comes into bat - other than that, I would say he is purely incompetent - makes not attempt when the ball goes past him in slips -plain and simple useless - stand Kaneria there..sorry he is bowling !!

 

[161]

Balaji has outscored butt, YK and yoyo put together ...................................

 

[badxhah]

400-396=

 

[catwoman]

Is Younis Khan physically disabled or something?! |-n

 

[catwoman]

Kalaji gone!!

Congrats to Kamran Akmal for successfully taking a catch. |-G

"The 8th wicket partnership of 42 runs between VVS Laxman and L Balaji is now the record 8th wicket stand at Mohali. It bettered the previous record of 38 runs between Jimmy Adams and Courtney Walsh"

Thanks!!!!

This is the type of thing that puts 80% of the world off cricket

 

[badxhah]

I was Thinking Of opening the innings with Razzaq since coming down the order he cant play spinners that well how bout opening with like pinch hitter

there will more to come wid kumble

 

[DM]

after 53.2 overs and 150 runs, Kaneria gets his 5-for. Yay!

 

[badxhah]

thats not all his fault he bowled his heart out here and is Aus .. only to be let down by his feilders .Who prblly will spend less than 20-30 mins at the crease when their times come to bat.

The thing is aft droping so mant catches in the slip why Has Inzy Stiill MYK there

 

[Raz]

Well done to Danish. Many congratulations.

Whats happened so far today guys. Only just logged on. Ive heard Younis dropped a catch. Anything else worth of note, apart from a few heroics from Balaji with the bat?

 

[Raz]

4 to Taufeeq! Balaji gone for a 4 for his first ball!

 

[Raz]

Taufeeq gone!

 

[hasanahmad]

Tofee Kumar gone

 

[badxhah]

good for him ,,,,,, now he can spend more time in the dressing having his A** kicked

 

[Raz]

LBW or a caught and ball. Not sure but hes definately out. A Test match im sure Taufeeq would love to forget!

 

[MIG]

Apni Shakal lay kay wapis gaya hai pavilion - koyee semb;ance of Izzat naheen in logon main !!

 

[161]

taufeeq....

i knew he was gonna go quickly

tried to take his anger out over the drops by trying to make some stupid shots.

pakistans mental indiscipline showling itself over and over !!!!!

 

[Raz]

We were talking about Taufeeq making up for his poor fielding with at least a century. As it turns out hes gone for 4! If thats not enough to drop him i dont no what is!

 

[hasanahmad]

kashif it was a valid shot it just nicked into his pads bad luck not good bowling

 

[161]

i am starting to get flasbacks of the second innings collapse we had vs Ozz when facing a big lead.

we need a team pyschiatrist - cuz we cant handle pressure for crap.

 

[161]

oh was it hasan - didnt see it- well thats too bad for him.

 

[tlb]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOWLED!

GO BALA!

 

[Raz]

Younis gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noooooooooooooo. Balaji bowls em!!!!!!!!!!! Disgraceful cricket by Younis!

 

[Raz]

Tried leaving it ends up getting bowled! Was an inswinger i think. Fateful lack of judgement by Younis.

 

[octavian]

Mr Vice Captain bowled by Balaji !

I wonder what have these guys been doing in the pre-match preparations

 

[hasanahmad]

replays of tofee kumar showing that while umars bat was following through the bat riqoutted off a bat going upwards. very unlucky

 

[nedian21]

lolz. YK our future captain. bowled in a most disgraceful mannar. the guy didnt know where his offstump is. and he is a 1 down batsman. he is just parchi baaz and has a big pawwa . guys like him has ruined pakistan cricket

 

[MIG]

Ok so YK lets one go .... into the stumps - I used to like him - now I HATE this guy.....he should not be allowed anywhere near a cricket bat/field......disgraceful surrender from a coward.

 

[Raz]

Yoyo in! Pakistan in deep deep trouble! We need a century at least from Salman, Yoyo and Inzi to even think of getting a draw!

 

[hasanahmad]

we need a triple century from one of the batsmen

 

[161]

we are gonna collapse under pressure just like we did in ozz test series - except this time balaji will take mcgraths place.

like i said before this team needs a psychiatrist.

 

[MIG]

i am starting to get flasbacks of the second innings collapse we had vs Ozz when facing a big lead.

I have a bad feeling as well.....

 

[octavian]

Shoiaabb Malikkk

We miss you

 

[Raz]

The move of making Younis vice captain has backfired badly and i mean really really badly! The amount of dropped catches and two failures a HUGE and embarassing one in the second innings!

And as i write this Salman goes! ***?!?!

 

[Raz]

Im getting flashbacks of that collapse now at Perth!

 

[hasanahmad]

unlucky butt. ball kept low and hit his bat to the keeper while he was ducking

 

[Raz]

Inzi in and well what pressure on his shoulders!

 

[161]

this would be ubeleivable- IF IT WAS ANY OTHER TEAM THEN PAKISTAN !!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Raz]

Salman was unlucky ill admit. The luck just hasnt gone our way in this match! It is a match that truely needs to be forgotten!

 

[MIG]

If I were BW, I wouldnt want to do anything with this sorry bunch of losers

 

[hasanahmad]

MIG both salman and taufeeq were unlucky, it hit his bat while bat was in followthrough and it hit salmans bat while he was ducking as the ball stayed low on a short pitched ball. the only batsmen fault was younis khan

 

[Raz]

MIG a comment that u said i think yesterday or day before that;

The ODIs couldnt come soon enough!

Im starting to think the same! Man i cant believe this start!

 

[161]

lol is there a discussion thread for the second test up yet ???????

 

[Raz]

Inzi with 3 fours off Balaji!

 

[DM]

OH MOTHER OF MERCY NO



I ACTUALLY WAS THINKING WE CAN WIN BECAUSE WE BOWL LAST

 

[Raz]

You see its happened again! We're relying on Yoyo and Inzi to get us out of trouble again! The top order failing once more, albeit two batsmen being unlucky.

 

[Monsee]

It's all The pregnant Khotee's Fault...Kick her, kick her hard...oops she is not playing...sorry I am in shock after seeing the Top Three score a combined Great score of 10...wow |-S |-Q

 

[161]

Inzi going after Balaji-

is this really what we need now?

i hope bala dosnt get him soon as well!!!
