Day 3, 3rd Test; Pakistan vs England at Headingley

[James]

I dont even think we have bowled so badly so far tday! It just seems like good batting.

 

[Billy]

Seems to be all or nothing at the moment.

Ooh he's almost out! Ooh he's hit it for six! Ooh he's headbutted it for four!

 

[shan]

20 overs to go before new ball

 

[zMario]

Attempted yorker, GREAT RUNNING!!

2 runs taken!

 

[darkmoon459]

I think Mohammed Yousef got a new pair of Bata ,he is running great between wickets.

 

[zMario]

 

[iZeeshan]

Seems to be all or nothing at the moment.

Ooh he's almost out! Ooh he's hit it for six! Ooh he's headbutted it for four!

Just admit it. Pakistan are batting very well. Your counterpart has done it, however willingly.

 

[iZeeshan]

Great RR for Pakistan so far.

 

[iZeeshan]

Panesar on.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Good start by pakistan...

4 more... and the 200 partnership is up !!

 

[iZeeshan]

Hate it when Yousuf has to play spin. Gets me so anxious.

 

[zMario]

Lovely shot by Yousuf!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wonderful cut for 4. 200 partnership up in 286 balls.

 

[zMario]

The fearsome Panesar - I'm so scared!!!

 

[zMario]

Wonderful cut for 4. 200 partnership up in 286 balls.

Very quick partnership too

 

[James]

Hoggy on, hopefully Monty is on as well soon.

 

[iZeeshan]

Hoggard on.

 

[UmarMalik]

They're playing great so far.. love em

 

[iZeeshan]

Very quick partnership too

Thats what I implied when I put the "286 balls*

 

[zMario]

Chietersen the best bowler

 

[iZeeshan]

They're playing great so far.. love em

Yea the first time in the series I have actallualy enjoyed the cricket for such a long consecutive tiem

 

[zMario]

Short, wide, and easy 1 taken

 

[UmarMalik]

Hmm.. i think we can still win this.. Lets say we give them a lead of 50.. England come on to bat tomorrow with 2 days to cover.. pak bowl them all out on 250-270.. then comes the last day, and pak scores 200-220 without any problem.. what do u think guys..

 

[Somali Pirate]

did u guys see monty trying to bowl a ball before moyo was ready in the previous over?

 

[zMario]

Yea the first time in the series I have actallualy enjoyed the cricket for such a long consecutive tiem

We haven't been in a good position for a while now, but now we can WIN THIS, and EASILY win the game at The Oval

 

[zMario]

did u guys see monty trying to bowl a ball before moyo was ready in the previous over?

Hmm, nope - Monty trying to cheat Cheitersen style, or be cheap?

 

[UmarMalik]

did u guys see monty trying to bowl a ball before moyo was ready in the previous over?

haha, yeah.. that was funny.. saala Monty

 

[shan]

We haven't been in a good position for a while now, but now we can WIN THIS, and EASILY win the game at The Oval

England still in better position

 

[James]

Monty comes on and staright away looks like the best bowler in the match.

 

[iZeeshan]

Huge Appeal. Hair duznt want to give.

 

[zMario]

Darrell Hair doesn't like Indians either )

 

[zMario]

I think Hair is trying to make up for what he did to us in the 1st innings?

 

[Somali Pirate]

if we are to win this match we need to thrash panesar.

moyo looks unsure because he does not want to make a mistake.We need to get closer to england's target.Only then i feel moyo will feel ready to free his arms

 

[KB]

Younis trying to hit the ball too hard, Needs to relax a bit.

 

[shan]

10 balls withour run

 

[shan]

2 maidens

 

[iZeeshan]

Man didn't even notice Pak got to 245!

 

[iZeeshan]

Maiden for Hoggard.

 

[shan]

Man didn't even notice Pak got to 245!

they are still on 245 after 2 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

they are still on 245 after 2 overs

Just got a single

 

[shan]

finaly a single

 

[Amjid Javed]

Four for YK down to fine leg

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib Akhtar back in action. But not going at full speed at all. Mustve been bowling 65 ot 70.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 250/2

 

[shan]

today we should get some kind of lead

 

[iZeeshan]

Woohoo a four!

 

[zMario]

Another FOUR!!

Woooo, smack these Brit boys around

 

[Somali Pirate]

shoaib in action.He looked like he was having fun

 

[iZeeshan]

today we should get some kind of lead

We'll be lucky if we can delete it. But at this point we should.

 

[shan]

i just want monty overrate to go at 4 to 2

 

[zMario]

today we should get some kind of lead

We will, unless something strange and unwanted happens - (Like a Chietersen 8 for )

 

[zMario]

We'll be lucky if we can delete it. But at this point we should.

Yeah, we should, we've nearly got half of the runs with just the loss of 2 wickets

 

[shan]

We'll be lucky if we can delete it. But at this point we should.

if we play all day we can easly delete it!

 

[alghazzali]

I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves. We are still 260 odd runs behind.

 

[Amjid Javed]

we are still 265 behind, we need to bat all day

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves. We are still 260 odd runs behind.

exactly, new ball is due in 13 overs and our tail could easily start @ 6!

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 for moyo now

 

[UJ]

We have to ensure that there are no collapses- we need to bat the day out and create partnerships

 

[iZeeshan]

Pak's RR has gone down. Superb bowling at this stage.

 

[shan]

I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves. We are still 260 odd runs behind.

agree with u at the moment i just can't see us winning unless we get lead of 150+ and bowl out england quickly which is the most difficult

 

[zMario]

Good, 3 runs, well run!

 

[Billy]

Just admit it. Pakistan are batting very well. Your counterpart has done it, however willingly.

What?!

I never said Pakistan weren't batting well?

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 for YK.

256/2

 

[iZeeshan]

Good shot for 3.

 

[zMario]

I heard a horn in the crowd go off!!!

 

[zMario]

Another 3, this time for Younis!

 

[iZeeshan]

What?!

I never said Pakistan weren't batting well?

Does a name Whippy Squash remind you? And I never said you said Pakistan were batting well. Or is it just that you don't know what counterpart means? eh?

 

[zMario]

Hey, I always admit great bowling performances by Harmison! Plus, I want to see what kind of reply he makes.

 

[Zeenix]

I would like to see both of them going to lUnch not out

 

[Billy]
