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

[midwicket]

Need to bat for two sessions tomorrow ...

What's the weather forecast!

 

[alghazzali]

Sami got 49 in Rawalpindi last year so he can bat.

 

[TaZ]

OUr luck isnt that good as we all know!

 

[pakdesi]

rain rain rain plz rain

lol

or akmal and Razzaq make hundreds

 

[Hash]

Danish Kaneria will score 109 in a record 10th wicket partnership with Rana.

 

[sajjad]

how close was that Inzi decision.
dont wanna get to skeptical of the umpiring but Inzi got out from something similar in the 1st innings. i just wanna know if it was clearly out or could he have been given the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Officer Barbrady]

It wasn't clearly out. Imo it was the sort that should have gone in favor of the batsman.

However, it wasn't nearly the worst of decisions you will see.

 

[Gasherbrum]

if only the top 3 among them would've managed 100 runs, the story could've been different. anyway, its a 3 test series. lot to learn, positives would be inzi, kamal and danny. sami came back well also.

 

[Nakhuda]

Couldn't watch a single ball of today's cricket but after reading about it i'm glad i missed it.Our top three are a complete joke though Butt was unlucky to be dismissed in such a cruel manner still fortune favours the brave!.Yoyo was another one i hear was rather unfortunate but lets remember that Asim was dropped twice too.Hats off to Kaneria for showing the heart of a lion claiming six wickets without any support whatsoever from the other end.One player that should be replaced as soon as a better one is available i believe is Mohammad Sami who is a club cricketer and simply not international class.Rana did well in Australia so should be given a few further chances too see if he can recover that form or if it was a fluke.If we can somehow struggle too a 200 run lead maybe we can save this one though i seriously doubt it.Ahhh...replace the whole damn lot for all i care.

to me the most dissappointing guy has been YK.

drop catches and 2 failures in batting. we shud expect more from a Vice Captain

 

[Uzi]

I would bring Shoaib Malik in for Younis Khan and Yasir Hameed in for Taufeeq. Afridi could get in there to replace Razzaq.

I don't understand why YK was made vice captain when his position in the team is in threat. I'm bittely disappointed with his performances and not only his performances, but a few others too.

Maybe he could follow his leader's example in Australia and sit out the next two matches and return for the ODIs when the going is easier.

Give the guy a chance. Inzi's conduct to him as VC is disgraceful.

 

[Lightning]

Sami bowled rather well in his return spell, kaneria was just kaneria. Lets hope pakistan can get bat 2 sessions tommorow and everything will be fine. I doubt it though..

 

[Naz]

Our team is a mix between Australia and Zimbabwe, unfortunately we get the bigger half of zimbabweans.
