KFC Pulse:

good dec by Ponting?

Yes: 76%
No: 24%

 

[Shayan]

Would love to see a century opening stand.

 

[saj001]

You are not a Pakistan cricket fan.

?

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

You are not a Pakistan cricket fan.

 

[luvthegame]

good stuff by pak...only beaten on good ball and defensive...

 

[saj001]

Shot by farhat

i think 4

 

[Shayan]

Driven for 3, nice shot IF

 

[saj001]

They run 5

 

[Shayan]

Oh wait, 5 apparently.

 

[iZeeshan]

We're going to win this game.

But they just have to be a little more positive!

 

[Cheguvera]

Farhat just hit a five....

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Five runs to Farhat.

 

[germanboy]

what if this is a four!

 

[Shayan]

Changed back to 4.

 

[saj001]

What a throw by Mitchell

boy is he strong

 

[germanboy]

what a lol

 

[Cheguvera]

Too bad it's a four...so no overthrow nor five...

 

[insaaniyat]

what if this is a four!

5 won't count

 

[abcanada]

poor farhat!!

 

[Shayan]

Would've been fun if there had been a run out there, which wouldn't have counted.

 

[luvthegame]

and runs...

 

[luvthegame]

butt still on 0....

 

[Big Mac]

Would've been fun if there had been a run out there, which wouldn't have counted.

That's exactly what my brother just said

 

[saj001]

Butt off the mark with a couple

 

[Shayan]

Butt off the mark with a flick for 2. Reasonably positive start this.

 

[Shayan]

Cut for 4 from Butt.

 

[saj001]

4 by butt

we are off to positive start

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Four by Butt.

 

[iafzal]

Pakistan look positive in the 2nd innings rather then tuk tuk in the first innings. good sign

 

[Chuffed]

good stuff by pak...only beaten on good ball and defensive...

These guys aren't as bad as we've made out if you consider their talent only. It's always been their execution.

 

[Digital]

Good shot

 

[abcanada]

wowwwwwwwwwwwwww........ confidence!!!
good stufff

 

[luvthegame]

4......................

 

[Astro]

44444!

pak playing to win!

 

[Shayan]

That's exactly what my brother just said

Great minds...

 

[mindless slogging]

Positive start from Pak this time round.

Can only be a good thing.

 

[Chuffed]

One of these guys has a chance to cement an opening slot.

 

[luvthegame]

this the way to bat boys...take the game to the aussies...ponting will go on defensive...

 

[iafzal]

if we bat till the end we need to score only at 3.02 RR.
Not a tall order from RR point of view

 

[Shayan]

One of these guys has a chance to cement an opening slot.

They've both cemented their spots before. Cement isn't so good in Pakistan.

 

[insaaniyat]

One of these guys has a chance to cement an opening slot.

how about both after this test win

 

[saj001]

Bollinger bowling really good

 

[Chuffed]

well left by Buttttaaah!

 

[Astro]

i think farhat will be the first to go out of the 2

 

[Chuffed]

They've both cemented their spots before. Cement isn't so good in Pakistan.

[iZeeshan]

Guys how fast did Aamer bowl tday

 

[cricfan967]

Lets hope they get a century first wicket partnership.
Now THAT will set the platform.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

if we bat till the end we need to score only at 3.02 RR.
Not a tall order from RR point of view

That is not hard to sustain a 3.02 RR.

 

[Shayan]

if we bat till the end we need to score only at 3.02 RR.
Not a tall order from RR point of view

Lose no more than 2 wickets today has to be the first target though.

 

[Chuffed]

how about both after this test win

Inshallah.

 

[insaaniyat]

They've both cemented their spots before. Cement isn't so good in Pakistan.

that was a good one

 

[cricfan967]

Guys how fast did Aamer bowl tday

145 - 150 km/h

I think fastest was 152
:aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir :aamir

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Guys how fast did Aamer bowl tday

He was consistently bowling 140+ km/h and hit 150 a couple a times.

 

[luvthegame]

good one so far...

 

[insaaniyat]

Lose no more than 2 wickets today has to be the first target though.

I am praying to Allah, we don't lose any wicket

 

[Chuffed]

It's such a good wicket, I think I could score 5 runs on this pitch against these bowlers. 1 edge and the other, a risky single.

 

[Oxy]

These guys aren't as bad as we've made out if you consider their talent only. It's always been their execution.

Which is sort of the important bit....

 

[Astro]

need 404 to win now

 

[shahidrazzaq]

(I haven't posted in a long, long, long time: So Salam everybody.)
Good start for PAK openers. Better than their usual game XD
18/0, 5.0 ov

 

[cricfan967]

Which is sort of the important bit....

LOL

Agreed.

 

[iZeeshan]

I can't believe I missed Aamer's brilliance today. Makes me really sad.

 

[Chuffed]

Which is sort of the important bit....

It is, however, we've admonished their ability on this forum, yet they can clearly bat well. Maybe we've contributed to their lack of confidence as fans.

 

[luvthegame]

good...

 

[Shayan]

I'm getting annoyed seeing Rauf's drop over and over again.

 

[cricfan967]

422 isn't THAT massive.
480+ would've been massive 540+ .. just forget about it.

I think 422 is very get able.
That is if Pakistan don't collapse.

 

[Chuffed]

I still think their technique isn't the best, but then neither is Sehwag's.

 

[Oxy]

422 isn't THAT massive.
480+ would've been massive 540+ .. just forget about it.

I think 422 is very get able.

You might as well say

'Pakistan wil win....if they dont lose'

422 isnt that massic#ve!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

422 isn't THAT massive.
480+ would've been massive 540+ .. just forget about it.

I think 422 is very get able.
That is if Pakistan don't collapse.

It puts a physcological effect on the other team when your chasing 400+.
That's why it seems so massive to batting teams.

 

[iafzal]

I'm getting annoyed seeing Rauf's drop over and over again.

yup it hurts to see this again and again.
Commies also saying Abdur Rauf was on the wrong place. I assume they mean the point position but some PPers are hell bent the catch was easy so it does not matter if he should have been placed or not.

 

[luvthegame]

good one...

 

[Lodhiz]

It is, however, we've admonished their ability on this forum, yet they can clearly bat well. Maybe we've contributed to their lack of confidence as fans.

Interesting point to make. I agree with you.

 

[Big Mac]

Bloody hell, that looked totally plumb

Ive read some crazy stuff tonight, and this is up there with the best!

 

[saj001]

Farhat gone

 

[cricfan967]

Oh no

 

[iZeeshan]

Aahh why are they reviewing!
