Pakistan 301 & 103/4 (34.2 ov)

Can rain save us ?

 

[Sledger]

The million dollar question - How is the weather looking at the moment?

 

[Sohaib-789]

Overcast but no rain atm

 

[Inswinger]

20% chance of rain throughout the day.

[Sledger]

Overcast but no rain atm

Worst possible result then.
If that continues (though there are still a couple of hours), then the ball will swing more than yesterday and Aus will rap it up before lunch especially because they'll have one of Pakistan's most clueless players of swing bowling on show.

 

[12thMan]

Is the match starting 30 minutes earlier? I heard that was the case yesterday but it started regular time

 

[cricketpassion]

Look like there will be no rain today

Good chance for Malik to score big and get some practice for ODi's.

 

[Sledger]

Don't know, I also heard its starting half an hour earlier today.

According to cricinfo it is starting half an hour early

 

[Random Aussie]

Finish them!!

 

[12thMan]

Finish them!!

What did Ponting do to cause this outburst? Was it early declaration or not sending Clarke at right batting order

 

[Sohaib-789]

1 hour and 10 mins left

Nothing but would like to see us realy go for the kill this morning.

[Random Aussie]

Far more excited by Bangladesh-India actually....

 

[RexRex]

Far more excited by Bangladesh-India actually....

Excited to see Tendulkar notch up another ton , is it ?

 

[On_the_up]

Let's do to Australia what they did to us at this very same ground a few years back. Perfectly set up for revenge.

We have our own Gulchrist.

Who's with me?

I'll get my coat.

 

[bilal]

[bantu]

Excited to see Tendulkar notch up another ton , is it ?

Good one............. but lets see what ishant & sree can do

I don't want rain. I want to watch Milkman and Khurram score centuries

 

[ZAK]

One review lost.

[On_the_up]

Malik, thanks for the memories.

 

[Sledger]

[Sledger]

Lets hope we don't see in whites again unless its in Sunday league games on the village green.

 

[Gollum]

Should be Milkman's last Test inning ever.

 

[sali]

I hope this was Shoib's last test.

 

[ahmed16]

Well that was gonna happen.

 

[insaaniyat]

Milkman done

 

[bilal]

if ne1 cares, malik is out
We Dont like cricket.... Oh no.... WE LOVE IT
is it balls we love it, not rite now we dont

 

[insaaniyat]

I hope this was Shoib's last test.

i hope so too

 

[Sledger]

Everyone knows they'll pick Malik again for England, thats the sad part..

 

[Gollum]

All academic now. Lets see how long Sarfraz can survive.

 

[bilal]

Tony greig, who the hell is "Khumran Akhmal" heez got a bit too much phlegm goin there

 

[Sledger]

So now Pakistan saying we've got enough of your batsmen in form, lets give Siddle a few presents before rain stops us!

 

[Inswinger]

If Misbah, Malik, Iqbal, and Farhat are dropped from future Test series then this series won;t be so bad after all.

 

[insaaniyat]

All academic now. Lets see how long Sarfraz can survive.

Sarfaraz didn't look comfy in the 1st inning. Won't last in this one either

 

[Gollum]

What's up with these pronunciations by Grieg - Kumran Akhmal!

 

[insaaniyat]

Aamir was right, Siddle is causing problems

 

[sali]

This doens't even look like the same track as 2nd and 3rd day.

 

[Sledger]

Tony greig, who the hell is "Khumran Akhmal" heez got a bit too much phlegm goin there

YES, just thank your lucky stars MiSHbah isn't playing. The ironic think is, once Greig has to use a little bit of phlegm he just says Imrun Kaan.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

salam everyone

chaand babu's last innings of his test career ended. Thanks for the memories.

 

[insaaniyat]

This doens't even look like the same track as 2nd and 3rd day.

[Gollum]

Manzoor has settled down. Doesn't look so bad.

 

[insaaniyat]

salam everyone

[Sledger]

What memories? LOL, he's had one good innings in test cricket.

 

[Sledger]

Track Fixing!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

333 runs to win 5 wickets in hands.

62 runs per wicket required.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Manzoor.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

salam my friend. Milkman gone

WS how are you

[insaaniyat]

WS how are you

well this match is gone. let's concentrate on ODI

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

What memories? LOL, he's had one good innings in test cricket.

memories are memories, good or bad doesnt matter. the fact that 14 crore nation is cursing him is a memory in itself.

 

[bantu]

malik is on a plane back to pakistan..........inside (mafia) sources

 

[Sledger]

So you were thanking him for bad memories? Bit strange.

 

[On_the_up]

This should be all over before lunch.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

well this match is gone. let's concentrate on ODI

dont worry my friend we will lose them 4-1.

we always manage to win one ODI against Australia and have youtube videos no matter how badly we get thrased in test series.

 

[sali]

What's up with these pronunciations by Grieg - Kumran Akhmal!

He is trying to impress his OZs commentators that he has been practicing proper pronounciations. Tony has been learning wrong Urdu/Hindi in ICL. He thinks AKQMAL is the right way to pronounce Akmal. Probably because Khalid and Khalid were really KQhalid and KQlail....Q is khee sound.

Another day he was trying to impress with his knowledge from ICL and telling that Gharam Pani means tea...so it was Gharam Pani time.

Blind leading blind..

 

[Sledger]

Can Pakistan get to 200? )

 

[insaaniyat]

malik is on a plane back to pakistan..........inside (mafia) sources

i really hope so, but he is playing ODI
