Day 2, Test 2 Thread. Pakistan Vs England [21/11/05]

[yk]

Expensive over by Dan - 8 runs, but the good thing is Inzi has runs to play with, 462 of them.

 

[w4s1m786]

kaneria will be destuctive self of day 5 of this game

 

[nafajafam]

2 people I would like to see sledged shamelessly:

1. Bell
2. Harmison for his act of gamesmanship in getting Inzi out - shameless act by a shameless individual

MIG, it was umpires fault for not knowing the law.

 

[Ace Base]

MIG

Harmlessone will earn his due; at the end of the match he shall be served dodgy pakoras and spend the rest of his tour in the toilets of Faisalabad.

 

[nafajafam]

England scoring at a good rate.
Shoaib bowls another noball

 

[Ace Base]

kaneria will be destuctive self of day 5 of this game

As long as he's not self-destrcutive...

 

[nafajafam]

93mph fulltoss by Shoaib. Bell looks comfortable. single taken

 

[tahaqureshi]

depends on the length it is bowled at. ideally a tossed up delivery is bowled to decieve the batsman in flight.
btw, u thinking of becoming a spinner?

lol..no I think I'll stick with my pace bowling, but I just wanted to know for knowledge..

 

[yk]

another expensive over. come on lads concentrate

 

[Ace Base]

Even if England score at 4 per over from here onwards they need all of tomorrow just to get to Pakistan's score.

Will they last until then?

What kind of a lead will they be able to secure?

Pakistan will be able to bat out the entire fourth day if England leads by less than 150.

 

[nafajafam]

Another Noball!!!!!!!!

 

[yk]

why's dan bowling no balls for ***** sake

 

[w4s1m786]

its crazy a spinner can bowl no balls

 

[yk]

Guys we want to win this test. We havn't won a test series since God knows when. This is our best chance!!!!!

 

[w4s1m786]

bell seems a very good player of spin bowling

 

[badxhah]

bullshyt

 

[badxhah]

bomb explosion looks like

 

[Big Mac]

Looks like a propane tank blew up or something from here

 

[yk]

bomb explosion looks like

where???

 

[nafajafam]

Massive Noise At The Ground. Deep Midwicket Region. Play Has Stopped. Players Still On The Field

 

[Raz]

An explosion at the ground. Play stopped.

 

[pacman]

It must be a cracker.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

No one sure what it is? Rameez saying it was a electric problem

 

[shan]

it's bomb or just explosion?

 

[deadly_man]

Even if England score at 4 per over from here onwards they need all of tomorrow just to get to Pakistan's score.

Will they last until then?

What kind of a lead will they be able to secure?

Pakistan will be able to bat out the entire fourth day if England leads by less than 150.

if england bat well and pakistan bat well in 2nd inning game is definitely a draw.
but what if england get a lead(unlikely un less tresc score another 100-150) and pakistan struggle in 2nd innig...that us not very unusual for pak.
there is always a chance u never knwo..u can never afford to be oiver confident.
having said that..pakistan need to inforce a win here ..they shudnt looking for a draw

 

[tahaqureshi]

One of the spectators has been injured, still the reason for the noise has been unknown!
There has been a blast somewhere inside the ground, the noise was big, play has been stopped for the moment!

 

[yk]

^ ure joking!!!! Not now!!!!

 

[badxhah]

It must be a cracker.

cant be a cracker

too lound

 

[Ace Base]

One more wicket and England will start crawling at just under 3.5 runs an over.

Whither 500?

 

[deviously~fading~away]

gas tank blew up guys nothing to worry about

 

[nafajafam]

gas tank blew up

 

[deadly_man]

it's bomb or just explosion?

it was a short circuit

 

[badxhah]

gas tank blew up wth is gas bottle doin there

 

[tahaqureshi]

The noise that came out was terrible, it has indeed shook the commentary box that is 100 mts away from the spot!

 

[nafajafam]

Looks like a propane tank blew up or something from here

 

[pacman]

Short circuit.

 

[w4s1m786]

i wouldnt be surprised if England use this as an exuse to fly back the uk

 

[tahaqureshi]

The news that has come up is that a gas tank that was near the ropes has bursted, it isn't anything serious!

 

[Big Mac]

There you go, my eagle eye is infallible. DM take note for future reference when talking about catches carrying or not ;0

 

[pacman]

This incident is going to give a field day to the media

 

[badxhah]

wat is a gas tank doin in a cricket feild anyways

 

[nafajafam]

This has been an eventful day

 

[yk]

Cricinfo says a cylinder went off???

Wat sort of cylinder, gas?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

but wat was a gas tgank doin there

 

[pacman]

Maybe the players will be unfocused for a while, and gift their wicket

 

[nafajafam]

play has started. shoaib on

 

[Ace Base]

if england bat well and pakistan bat well in 2nd inning game is definitely a draw.
but what if england get a lead(unlikely un less tresc score another 100-150) and pakistan struggle in 2nd innig...that us not very unusual for pak.

Akhi, what you are saying is fine.

However, my point is, is there enough timne for all what you have stated to happen?

In fact, "worse case scenario" Pakistan will have to bat out 50 overs on day 4 losing at the most 3 wickets.

Even if they are all out at lunch, do you really think England can chase around 200 in 45 overs on a Day 5 pitch with Kaneria and Afridi lovin' it?

 

[nafajafam]

first wide of the innings by shoaib

 

[badxhah]

 

[Big Mac]

but wat was a gas tgank doin there

It's a propane cylinder to power the gas cookers by the boundary

 

[Ace Base]

There you go. Some more time wasted.

I reckon that's three overs gone.

Even harder for England.

 

[badxhah]

If u had it ur way u wouldnt allow players to go for drink break lunch etc

 

[irfan]

Looks like it was a gas bottle was not stored securely.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

i can see the media blaiming inzi as the cylander was being to make his snacks

 

[shan]

we need to out Trescothick now!

 

[waquas_uk]

6 runs off that danish over he always take hsi time settling in especillay in first innings

 

[Ace Base]

Kaneria cannot be expected to take a wicket yet. He has yet to concede 100 runs.

 

[yk]

67 run partnership now. Need a wicket NOW NOW NOW

u think its very unlikely what i said.
just see this link
http://usa.cricinfo.com/link_to_dat...N_PAK/SCORECARDS/ENG_PAK_T3_07-11DEC2000.html
england didnt even get the lead in first innig.
pak lost only 3 wicket on day 4
all of these are better then ur case still pak lost the match
and yes it was also a spinning track and we had 3 spinner kaneria+sqlain+afridi
I am not saying trhat wil;l happen again...but then eevrything is possible

 

[w4s1m786]

it would be interesting to compare kaneria first innings to his secong innings stats

 

[waquas_uk]

sami replaces shoaib

sami is currently going at 4 an over

 

[w4s1m786]

sami has been very unlucky in his first spell

 

[waquas_uk]

sami bowls a maiden he needs to pick up wickets

 

[Ace Base]

Breaking news: Gas problems in Faisalabad: Harmlessone succumbs to dodgy pakoras.

In recent developments, it was reported that The Shamelessone has caused a huge explosion in Faisalabad Cricket Stadium. Insiders (and Outsiders) say the explosion emanating from the posterior region of Harmlessone also known as The Shamelessone. A diplomatic cover-up ensued (together with foul odours) and the PCB blamed the explosion on a gas tank.

In other news, Inzimam has expressed his surprise at the disappearence of his pakoras which he left at the boundary ropes for later consumption. Inzi was seen earlier exchanging heated accusations with the Umpire about the disappearance of his pakoras.

The England camp has declined to comment over the incident.

 

[shan]

replace kaneria with afridi

 

[Big Mac]

Cannot believe Afridi did that, absolutely unacceptable

 

[deviously~fading~away]
