5th day (1st Test Mohail) discussion and score thread [12/03/05]

[Raz]

Pakistan 263-6 currently. Play has begun.

 

[Raz]

Ive opened this one as the other one is locked!

 

[Raz]

Razzaq playing Kumble well.

 

[Raz]

4 to Akmal off Kumble!

 

[Naveed]

Akmal and Razzak looking solid, nice boundary by Akmal. Bear down boys!

 

[Raz]

286-6 Pakistan.

Cagey shot by Razzaq there!

 

[Raz]

They need to keep each other going and fight fight fight!

 

[Naveed]

268?

 

[Raz]

Oh yeah im getting carried away! Lol

 

[Raz]

Lead 67 now. Come on boys!

 

[Raz]

There isnt the need to try anything off Kumble. Razzaq knows that and is playing ball on its merits. Good cricket from Razzaq.

 

[Raz]

Maiden from Kumble. Razzaq blocked all 6 deliveries out!

 

[Naveed]

Exactly, nothing crazy, Razzak needs to curb his natural instincts

 

[Raz]

Yorker from Pathan, well kept out by Razzaq

 

[MecnunK]

comon Pak , 100 more runs!!

 

[Raz]

How many overs left till the new ball?

 

[MecnunK]

akmal to face kkumbli, cant remember what he is like against spin..or pace given kumble

 

[MecnunK]

think it is after 90 overs though not 100% sure

 

[Raz]

Another maiden from Kumble. 272-6

 

[Raz]

New ball taken! Be careful boys!

 

[Naveed]

Now the new ball...moment of truth

 

[Raz]

Balaji warming up.

 

[MecnunK]

okay so i was off by 10 come'on Pak

 

[Raz]

Close shout there for LBW.

 

[octavian]

New ball taken straight away. this spell from Kalaji and Pathan will decide the outcome here.

 

[Raz]

Yeah definately. Well played over by Razzaq. This next one will be key. It will give some of idea as to how Balaji is bowling. Kamran needs to be vigilant, very vigilant

 

[Raz]

Straight away beats the outsie edge!

 

[octavian]

Kalaji beats the edge with the very first ball !!

 

[Raz]

What a shot by Kamran!

 

[octavian]

AWWw magnificent drive from Kamran. for 4. Gr88 reply.

 

[octavian]

Bala beats him again. what a contest

 

[MecnunK]

comeon akmal, easy easy!! give a few overs to get th old eye in..

 

[octavian]

2 to Kamran thru covers. What an absorbing contest. Tet cricket at its best!!

 

[Raz]

Please Kamran for the love of Pakistan!

 

[Naveed]

Wow Balaji should give swing lessons to the Pakistani bowlers

 

[Raz]

My hearts racing man!

 

[Raz]

And now my stream goes!

 

[octavian]

have a bottle or glass of water close to you Raz.

Pathan not swinging it as much as Kalaji

 

[Raz]

Phew back again!

 

[Raz]

Im worried about Balaji! Hes bowling soooooooooooooooooo well out there!

 

[MecnunK]

you guys watching it..I dread every time Dawn freezes till the update..

 

[octavian]

lol MecNuk

 

[Raz]

Whats the DAWN website for the score?

 

[octavian]

Kalaji beats Razzi with an inswinger. Lookin good Kalaji

 

[Raz]

Looking very good!

 

[MecnunK]

yeah live score:

[tahaqureshi]

the best website for score updates i feel is
http://india-pakistan-livecricket.keralanext.com/india/pakistan/cricket/live/scores/

 

[Raz]

281-6. If we can see Balaji and Pathan off then we will have every chance to draw or even win!

 

[octavian]

Balaji is bowling well but not unplayable by any means. As shown by Inzi and YoYo yesterday. Both these stapmed their authority and class on him

We need more of Inzi's class. we need to find those batsmen in our domestic cricket. But then again, If it was for our selectors, such a class act like Inzi would never have played cricket for Pak.

It was great Imran Khan to discovered him.

 

[MecnunK]

Taha

It is the same commentry on both sites...dunno who is copying who..

 

[Naveed]

Interesting that Akmal is playing the new ball better than the openers

 

[MecnunK]

akmal is battling Bala..

 

[161]

one of teh bhindian commentators just said that the umpires have been very good this match ....

 

[Naveed]

one of teh bhindian commentators just said that the umpires have been very good this match ....

[MecnunK]

[Naveed]

Wide and 4 byes! Dinesh is no Akmal!

 

[MecnunK]

[Imran13]

Salam every1 mashallah so far tese 2 have made it worthwhile waking up...lets hope they bat till lunc n beyond inshallah

 

[MecnunK]

[Raz]

They are playing very well out there!

 

[Raz]

Lead now 89!

 

[Raz]

Very close there! Luck to get away with that Kamran!

 

[Imran13]

ooo edgy but will take any runs lol

 

[Imran13]

kamran is doing good here his gotta play shot every run gets us safer

 

[MecnunK]

yes 300 up!! partnership 58 and 3 to a 100 lead..

 

[Raz]

101 lead!!!!!!!!!

 

[Imran13]

thats a cracker

 

[Naveed]

I think that the Indians showed up expecting Pakistan to roll over

 

[MecnunK]

damn website..just updated the totals..well done razzler/akmal..so far..

 

[tapss]

good job Pak..We may have a classic ending on our hands!

 

[MecnunK]

kamal playing very well

 

[Raz]

Kamran needs to calm down a bit!

 

[Imran13]

This is pakistan v india and we never roll over to the indians

 

[Raz]

Wasnt like that a year ago was it?!

 

[Naveed]

This is pakistan v india and we never roll over to the indians

We certainly did roll over in 2 tests last year

 

[MecnunK]

yeah I think so too..no need to get too aggresive..

 

[161]

kamran ?-a to zaheer

 

[nedian21]

MASHALLAH they are playing very well. I think Abdul Razzaq shd play his natural strokes like Kami is doing. Abdul is bogged down now.

 

[Imran13]

yesterday kaneria said a lead of 200 cud get pakistan a chance to even win specially with his great bowling on a turnin pitch

 

[Imran13]

times change naveed lol
