Please keep this garbage out this class thread!

sir yes sir

 

[KA$H]

mitchell doesnt look as sharp as Bolly

but not according to the speed gun

 

[Momo]

Please keep this garbage out this class thread!

 

[saj001]

Still cant find the boundary

 

[haseebbabar]

anytime my friend

r my quotes invisible or wat issed: no one really read mine

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

3 runs to Salman Butt. Good shot ..

 

[ShehryarK]

Wow...don't their PMs have anything else to do? The Kiwi PM was there in the commentary box during the NZL series and now we have Rudd...

 

[TalhaSyed]

Sky Sports add in the UK is a great ad for Binge Drinking

PS. And that brings up my 500th post...i would like to thank my parents friends and family to back me through tough times to help me get to tape ball level

 

[Usman Chadda]

*** @ that 'declare' ad just now !

 

[Momo]

The latest count for KA$H's push ups = 0.0

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Three bowlers capable of bowling at 145+ kph - Australia have one awesome pace attack

Pace doesn't mean everything you know.

 

[Khabri420]

That was a horrible ad.

Can't wait to see Zardari in the commentary box

 

[Looney]

thats cause our PM might start accusing us of match fixing if we begin to lose

That's Jamshed Dasti you are talking about. I am sure Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani is more creative than that .

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

2 more runs to Salman..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pace doesn't mean everything you know.

Which is why I specifically said 'pace' attack

 

[TalhaSyed]

solid forward defence

 

[saj001]

The latest count for KA$H's push ups = 0.0

As long as "If and But" are batting it will stay 0.0

 

[adeelsid]

Good work by the openers so far. Very good concentration.

Hope they continue.

 

[insaaniyat]

r my quotes invisible or wat issed: no one really read mine

i got in trouble for posting the link. I didn't know i guess it is not allowed

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan 26/0 in 12 overs

Farhat 9*
Butt 16*

 

[KA$H]

lol i'm happy enough with the singles so far

good work - 8 more overs of this new ball

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Hauritz has looked pretty ordinary so far. But our batsmen do have a habbit of making ordinary bowlers look special.

 

[iZeeshan]

0/24

Liking this start so far. Good RR too, none of that 1-1.5 crap.

Let's get to 150 tonight!

 

[Momo]

This game is about piddi as well. Winning is important of course. But let's get our priorities right. The first thing to do is to keep the Aussies standing for three days. Break their resolve, their will.

Then do with them what we have to do in the second and third Test. I can already feel pity for the demoralized and emotionally ruined Aussies when we are through with them.

Piddi is the name of the game. At least for now.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice steady start - the pitch is easy to bat on BUT the key is to be patient

The running has been okay so far BUT i reckon there will be a brain fart moment from our openers

 

[Lodhiz]

Oh dear... I'm slightly annoyed at the fact that we had some perfectly good LBW opportunities that we were denied, yet the Aussies have taken a wicket which wasn't nearly as good as ones produced in our bowling innings.

 

[saj001]

Farhat gone maybe it was high?

 

[Looney]

outtttttttt

 

[Oxy]

OUT - Farhat LBW

 

[Big Mac]

Farhat gone

 

[eViLrAcEr]

atleast he survived 26 runs

i am hating the commies

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Which is why I specifically said 'pace' attack

Doesn't South Africa have the best pace attack then?



Imran Farhat goes.

 

[iZeeshan]

Farthat gone

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Farhat gone...

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

1 down 9 to go.

 

[KA$H]

rubbish! oh well work starts

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhat is such a fart issed:

 

[TalhaSyed]

so after thier night watch man gets 70+ our opener strugles to reach double figures

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Aussies have achieved what we could not... an early breakthrough !!

 

[saj001]

He couldnt handle the pace

 

[Momo]

Farhat gone. Unlucky - was high. But that happens in Australia.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Damn!

Good ball though,some inswing could have got more forward.

 

[iZeeshan]

So much for that 100 opening partnership.

Sigh, let's move on.

 

[Inswinger]

Time for some Bhanja defence...

 

[saj001]

Another one coming soon

bhanja on strike

 

[Oxy]

That wicket is a minefield.

I mean that ball was straight and...erm...straight....

 

[Bailan]

I am finally back i think after 6 months ..... and watching live cricket after a year.

can someone please tell me what miracles have transpired since that Imran Farhat aka Damaad ji made it back into the team?

 

[CricketBuff]

A similar shout by us was not given out by Billy Doctrove!!!!!

 

[TalhaSyed]

Bhanja kuch kar le!! Make miandad proud!!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Bhanja comes in..

 

[Oxy]

Hes crap

Plays & misses 1st ball

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

aussies are jinxing when they are reaching closer to 100.

what is our jinx currently?

 

[ShehryarK]

Now let's watch Bhanja show us how this pitch is a real green-top....

 

[Usman Chadda]

Beaten for pace - ball was gun barrel straight. 39 balls and you still get beaten by pace

 

[KA$H]

we've got to look at teh positives

at least farhat didnt waste a referral

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Bhanja aint survining too long

 

[Big Mac]

Come on Faisal, time for the rare talent to make an appearance

 

[TalhaSyed]

aussies are jinxing when they are reaching closer to 100.

what is our jinx currently?

You know....just the whole....batting thing in general...just been a bit of a jinx lately

 

[ShehryarK]

That wicket is a minefield.

I mean that ball was straight and...erm...straight....

LOL! Those are the hardest, y'know!

Esp. if your name is Fur-Hat...

 

[Momo]

we've got to look at teh positives

at least farhat didnt waste a referral

)

 

[KA$H]

angled bat defence from banja - brilliant

 

[insaaniyat]

Time for some Bhanja defence...

Don't trust Bhanja a bit. Man he hasn't learned anything from his uncle

 

[Oxy]

Iqbal hopping around....

 

[daghetto]

its all down to salman butt to get us a good start now

 

[Lodhiz]

Come on Faisal, time for the rare talent to make an appearance

I hope Faisal unzips his skin to reveal Javed Miandad.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Don't know.....farhat got a good one I reckon, 90 mph inswing is not easy.

 

[Oxy]

angled bat defence from banja - brilliant

Saw plenty of that v NZ

 

[iZeeshan]

The fact that he didn't get into double figures is bothering me.

It disrupts the look of the scorecard.

 

[sali]

straight forward ball but Imran managed to get out. Why Australians can"t do the same?

 

[Looney]

Aussies have achieved what we could not... an early breakthrough !!

Aamer provided an early breakthrough but we love to drop catches.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Blimey, Butt looks world-class compared to Farhat and Iqbal

 

[Usman Chadda]

Don't know.....farhat got a good one I reckon, 90 mph inswing is not easy.

Er...where was the swing?

 

[insaaniyat]

this is called attacking field. I guess australian don't respect our batsman

 

[TalhaSyed]

Butt blocking out Hauritz well mashalah

 

[Momo]

As long as "If and But" are batting it will stay 0.0

If and But

Well they have been separated now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

How was that ball straight?

Need one of these two to stand up and get a hundred inshallah.

 

[saj001]

Faisal Gone
(just practising for later)

 

[Momo]

this is called attacking field. I guess australian don't respect our batsman

Neither do we.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

so after thier night watch man gets 70+ our opener strugles to reach double figures

It's the former's fault. He's setting too high standards.

 

[TalhaSyed]

Er...where was the swing?

you know the ball came straight...then it continued to come straight...then it hit farhat on the pad...straight.....................koi nahi yaar its fun cricket
