[don1990]

oh... thts nasty one....

 

[Big Mac]

Junior takes his eye off a short ball and ducks into it, cracks him in the side of the head but he's OK thanks to his helmet

 

[Oxy]

Akmal struck on the head!

 

[JeeraBlade]

The "present" of Pakistan cricket at the crease.

Corrected.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Took his eyes off the balll.

 

[On_the_up]

next ball short and he takes his eye off the ball. Kept low and hit on teh helmet.

Hope he keeps his concentration,

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good cricket by the young lad

Quick single

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I hope he's fine there..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single to :umarakmal retains the strike

 

[UP]

Single taken, good cricket.

 

[On_the_up]

Pinches a single next ball, good cricket. Didnt get rattled.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

nice run

 

[don1990]

good run to end the over
124/4

 

[Big Mac]

That's pretty shoddy technique from Junior, surprised seeing as he's looked quite steady against the short stuff so far in his career

 

[JeeraBlade]

Was hit pretty badly. Hope he is OK.

 

[On_the_up]

Akmal onto 21

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson comes on.

 

[*sallu*]

He'll be okay
Hes a solid lad

 

[don1990]

watson comes in...

 

[Seen Sheen]

Jasuus Watson on...

 

[iZeeshan]

Beautiful cricket from U Akmal

He's our star.

Come on Aamer, get some singles!

 

[On_the_up]

Was hit pretty badly. Hope he is OK.

Helmets are a wonderful thing. Only thing hurt is pride.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wattooo on now to bowl

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

2 runs. Good running.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Interesting technique by Jr there.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good running once again by Umar Akmal

2 runs

thats it!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Haddin comes upto the stumps.

 

[On_the_up]

Love it, motions to move forwards, stays back and clips a couple.

 

[iZeeshan]

Eh, Umar is almost shielding Aamer.

Maybe tone down the shielding a bit, but not a bad idea.

 

[*sallu*]

Thank god Yousuf is not at the other end
He would be stopping Akmal from playing his game

 

[On_the_up]

Watto's been giving Akmal some jip recently, this should be interesting.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot straight to the fielder

 

[On_the_up]

Cut to point, no run

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Cracked it, straight to point.

 

[On_the_up]

a hint of inswing by Watson

 

[Seen Sheen]

At 'Jasuus' Watson's pace,reverse swing is quite managable..

 

[On_the_up]

akmal timing most balls but straight to fielders most of the time.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4/126

 

[On_the_up]

126-4

 

[On_the_up]

Half way through to avoiding the follow on.

 

[iZeeshan]

Argh, my stream stopped.

 

[On_the_up]

7 over for 17 runs this morning

 

[iZeeshan]

Played well so far, but hope Aamer can pick up the SR.

Doesn't seem like it right now, but I'm sure if he doesn't score himself either, he will implode.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dropped, Missed Run Out.

 

[On_the_up]

aamer to face Siddle
dropped
run out missed
oh dear.

 

[UP]

Dropped at slip

 

[don1990]

plenty of drama there,,.. but aamer survive

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok, it didn't carried to Punter.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Oh my,Thank God,everybody survives in the end..

 

[On_the_up]

Please guys, one thing we dont want is a run out.

Didnt carry actually.

 

[insaaniyat]

wow what a scare

 

[*sallu*]

Ponting is brilliant man

He seems to be the only slipper in the world who can manage to dive forward like that

 

[On_the_up]

138.3 kph

 

[On_the_up]

Umar akmal would have been out by miles.

 

[TaZ]

Mark Nicholas is the biggest aussie **** licker I've ever heard. He makes me want to turn off the volume!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good speeds by Siddle

145 k's

 

[Afridi_Fan]

:aamir poking at every ball.

 

[*sallu*]

Aamer strugling now

 

[iZeeshan]

Aamer looking uncomfortable

 

[On_the_up]

aamer playing at everything. Missing most of them.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Siddle troubling :aamir!

 

[UP]

Good pace by Siddle. Aamer beaten.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

[On_the_up]

Haddin up to the stumps, Watson expecting Akmal to come out of his crease?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another good stroke, straight to fielder though.
