Brother thriller please don't say stupid thing like that a again, try to look into the broader context of the game. Pakistan needs big partnerships, they can't afford to lose wickets when we are not completely out of the woods yet. Pakistan needs another big 100 + partnership between razzak and yousuf. when tommorow we are at a situation we can take a lead then let's talk about afridi and akmal but for now just concentate on yousuf and razzak show. Take one step at a time, no need to be over adventurous and over confident at all.

still 237 runs behind with only 5 wickets at hand

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I still feel absolutely saddened by the unlucky way in which inzi had to trudge back to the pavilion. Had that ball not kept low it was there to be flicked for 4 down fine leg. Either way another superb knock by the man as he continues to make England his bunny

 

[shan]

new ball will be crucial

 

[Rana]

monty to start

Ditto. I feel he should have gone on to make a hundred. Unfortunate way to be dismissed.

 

[Easa]

Players back on, Monty to continue, probably for just one over before the new ball

 

[Rana]

loose shot, could have been out

 

[Easa]

William Porterfield on for Steve Harmison.

 

[shan]

loose shot from moyo

 

[Hache]

New ball would be interesting, with a decent enough chance of flurry of boundaries, odd ball can nip'n and can create some serious problem.

Stewie backs in and Strauss hands him the new cherry

5/291

 

[Rana]

new ball due and taken

 

[Rana]

sorry not taken

 

[Easa]

New ball taken

 

[shan]

new ball taken?

 

[shan]

we should play safly against MJ Hoggard

 

[Rana]

cmon razzaq, eat this new ball

 

[Easa]

Yup, its been taken

 

[ShowStopper]

I think I'm honestly beginning to almost hate Afridi because of his insane "fans"/groupies.

Same here.

Why can't we just see some sensible cricket?

 

[Rana]

ooo very close to off stump

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

the quicker we get past the follow on amrk the easier ill feel

 

[Easa]

The true Afridi fans, me, DM, Raz, Hafridi, Uzzy etc want the Beast to succeed but also hope for the success of the team.

Thriller is just a newbie

 

[ShowStopper]

Hoggard to Abdul Razzaq, no run, nipped back down the slope, Razzaq shoulders arms with a huge leave, but it was only missing offstump by that much

Come on Razzaq play sensibly.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Same here.

Why can't we just see some sensible cricket?

come on you know 3-4 hours of afridi

and the mathc take a diff complexion

 

[Bilsher007]

When the new ball is taken, pakistan need to take further control by attacking harmison, hoggard and plukett. Razzak especially needs to make the new cherry go on boundary ride for good one hour INSHALLAH.

 

[Rana]

harmisson to share new ball

 

[iZeeshan]

WOw, we're in a good position. Didnt expect both Inzi and Yousuf to still be here, but hoped. Not bad of a position to draw, maybe to win with Afridi can go beserk. Was hopng Inzi to still be here because hes on my F-team.

 

[Easa]

Four byes

 

[Rana]

44444

 

[Easa]

come on you know 3-4 hours of afridi

and the mathc take a diff complexion

3-4 hours?

An hour of Afridi and the game completely change

Every pakistani loves afridi ,but the way u guys potray him it appears that he is the greatest of all time.


Dont get me wrong,bcoz i am his Fan too.

 

[Rana]

295-5

 

[Bilsher007]

How much more need to avoid follow on ?

 

[Rob H]

no real rhythem from Harmison yet. No control or pace.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

295-5 and another ball down the legside by harmison this is good waste away that new ball

 

[Rana]

are we past the follow on mark

 

[Easa]

Harmison looking very stiff

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

dodgey 1st over with new cherry

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

we need 33 to avoid the followon

 

[Rana]

cmon england! waste this new ball

 

[qasim722]

295-5 and another ball down the legside by harmison this is good waste away that new ball

yea harmison is wasting the new ball so far.............

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

are we past the follow on mark

no we need another 34 runs

 

[Easa]

Strange.

Hoggard is not swinging the ball, didn't swing it that much with the first new ball either

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hoggard continues and first ball gets in between razzaq's bat and pad but is safe enuff

 

[Rana]

razzaq is playing very well here

 

[Rana]

still 295-5

 

[Easa]

Pathetic commies saying that English bowlers haven't had much match practice. The last time Pakistan played were a good 2-3 months ago! Stupid whinger

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzaq looking a little edgey here against hoggard and not really getting in the line of the ball.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Rana]

[Rob H]

edge and short of the slips. Good stuff Hoggy

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

edged but bounced

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh that was close!

 

[Rana]

naa didnt carry

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

not that wasnt a chance dropped a good bit short but agn razzaq not looking that comfortable here

 

[Sid100]

33 to avoid the follow on

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good, razzaq gets a single, he should try and avoid as much of the new ball as possible here until he feels more comfortable

 

[Rana]

4444, some pak fans there

 

[Sid100]

4 runs, well played MY

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

300 up after moyo 4

 

[Easa]

300 up for Pakistan with a pull shot

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

swung down to fine leg by moyo for moyo's 19th 4

300 comes up as well

 

[Bilsher007]

We all love all our players, the whole pakistan team. We all want them to succeed so pakistan benefits on the larger view. Afridi is a great player amongst the other great players we have but some ppers hype him up too much sometimes. Got to be a bit careful no to hype him up far too much for his own good.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Shabash!! Shabash Yousuf, Shabash A Razzaq!

 

[Easa]

Did anyone see the drunk chick that fell out of her seat? )

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

harmison starts off with a short one

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Did anyone see the drunk chick that fell out of her seat? )

ye it was hilarious )

 

[PlanetPakistan]

let's hope Harmison doesn't wake up!

 

[Rana]

razzaq gone

 

[Easa]

Razzaq gone

 

[Rob H]

That was a jaffa. What a ball Harmy!

 

[Sid100]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

edged and abdul razzaq is gone caught behind

 

[PlanetPakistan]

[Easa]

Never looked comfortable against the new ball

 

[Rana]

cmon man, someones stay there for yousufs sake

 

[Sid100]

300-6

 

[Toony™®]

Akmal Or Afridi?

 

[Rob H]

[Saj]

Nice to see the umpires recognise when the ball hits the edge of the bat....just for a change !
