Day 4: Eng v Pak [3rd Test] - Updates

[Usman Chadda]

Good effort by Nazir. Stopped a certain boundary

 

[KB]

Early days yet, no need to panic

 

[Oxy]

Tresco leading a charmed life.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

sala choke maar raha hai yaar, what the hell is happening.
where is our luck yaar?

 

[Bilsher007]

Don't forget pakistan lost three quick wickets yesterday ( younis, fiasal and inzamam) and how that completely changed the complexion of match. Anything can happen don't count pakistan out yet guys, INSHALLAH pakistan will win this match.

 

[KA$H]

At this rate england will be 300-50 ahead at close of play and will have 2 bat all day to save a draw!

bowlings let us down again!

No thats wrong - the bowlers have been getting chances - been let down by poor catching/feild placings

 

[b0wld]

man the english openers are milking runs here

 

[the_game]

If Tresco doesn't score big after all these lucky escapes, it would be quite pathetic batting to say the least.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan should post eight men in the slip region.

How about almost everyone in the slips (Barring the keeper and bowler ofcouse)

 

[Salman]

low bounce, Kamran lets it go again for 4

 

[the_game]

Early days yet, no need to panic

We have too many stinkin' Naveds on this forum ggm. Don't expect otherwise.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another sloppy effort by Kami

 

[Oxy]

4 byes conceded by Kami - poor lad. Ball swung at the last moment.

But when you are down......

 

[Pakistani tigers]

yaar, sami should be bowled in short bursts...nazir to take his next over i feel.
we must use sami as a sfast bowler man

 

[zMario]

What the hell is wrong with Kamran?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Its too early to predict the outcome of this match

 

[the_game]

The team really needs to cheer Akmal up. We all know he's a more-than-capable keeper.

 

[Ace Base]

Winning takes holding on to every half-chance you receive in the game. Australia are Australia because they do this on a consistent basis.

Had Akmal held on to the chance this morning or indeed the other chances in the series, it could well be Pakistan leading one nil!

At this level, there is no place for ifs and buts. You either seize the moment or end up as an also ran.

If Pakistan can't grab the opportunities that come their way, they don't deserve winning, its as simple as that.

 

[Oxy]

Nasser Shows more faith in Kami than half of the guys posting here today.

He says he he is the Finest Wkt-batsman in world cricket today.

Lets bear that in mind guys.

 

[MecnunK]

Were akmals' chances easy or difficult..

 

[b0wld]

4 more by akmal...man i'm starting to think he's being payed by england to let go everythinkg that comes across him

 

[zMario]

I still think by Kamran's standard he should've caught those, and stopped those byes

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 62/0

 

[Salman]

The team really needs to cheer Akmal up. We all know he's a more-than-capable keeper.

Nasser giving him one of the best keeper in the world tag...

 

[Raz]

In effect its 39-0 really, thats the lead that England have so as ggm says we shouldn't really panic yet.

 

[majalani]

must be 4 th or 5th boundary via 3rd men.

Should have 3rd men

 

[Salman]

down the ground 4 for tresco

 

[ali_ed2006]

and 4 more..

68-0

 

[Oxy]

Meanwhile he BBC joke about Tresco:-

"More luck for Trescothick and despair for Sami as the ball flies just wide of second slip to take the hosts past 50. The England batsman needs to get down to the newsagent's and buy a lottery ticket."

 

[Usman Chadda]

Superb shot. Straight drive for a boundary. Trescothick moves to 36

England 66/0

Lead of 45 runs

 

[UJ]

Nasser giving him one of the best keeper in the world tag...

And rightly so.

 

[Ace Base]

Nasser Shows more faith in Kami than half of the guys posting here today.

Lets bear that in mind guys.

I'd like to hear Nasser say that if he were on the Pakistan side today.

 

[zMario]

[Oxy]

[Usman Chadda]

Sami has been above 85 mph most of the time today. Shame he hasnt found a way through these openers

 

[Salman]

Hell Yeah... Eng 74-0, Lets see whats YK does...

 

[Salman]

Shahid Nazir On..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shahid Nazir on now. Replacing Umar Gul

 

[Oxy]

Give him a few pints and I reckon he'd be pretty good value.

The way he waffled on a few moments ago, you'd think he'd had a morning sherbert or two...

 

[pak4life]

Nasser giving him one of the best keeper in the world tag...

Nasser praises the pak players and talking up pak more then any other commentator even our own ramiz maybe he is a pak fan

 

[the_game]

You can only support 1 national team

And that team sure as hell does not have one Baroda bicycle.

 

[CrickFan]

I am too depressed to watch ..bhaiyon ..maybe my depression threshold is a lot lesser

 

[Usman Chadda]

Starts off with a good delivery. 78.6 mph this delivery

 

[Usman Chadda]

Kaneria's average in this series 45.89

 

[BAADSHAH]

I am too depressed to watch ..bhaiyon ..maybe my depression threshold is a lot lesser

[Salman]

Good over so far from Nazir...

 

[shan]

Kaneria's average in this series 45.89

[ali_ed2006]

[Usman Chadda]

Good start by Shahid Nazir

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 74/0

 

[Salman]

Good start by Nazir, Maiden... nothing special in the wicket for him

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Kaneria's average in this series 45.89

he is a third rate cricketer. Pony bowler, cant field and I will allow the batting to save myself typing.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sami should be taken off

 

[Usman Chadda]

he is a third rate cricketer. Pony bowler, cant field and I will allow the batting to save myself typing.

\

Third rate cricketer? What are you on about?

 

[the_game]

he is a third rate cricketer. Pony bowler, cant field and I will allow the batting to save myself typing.

He is turning into a bit of an allrounder you know. Did you watch the match yesterday ?

 

[Salman]

Good ball from Sami..

 

[Usman Chadda]

He is turning into a bit of an allrounder you know. Did you watch the match yesterday ?

Yeah Danish Bradman Kaneria made 29 runs with a beastly six off Panesar and three boundaries

 

[Oxy]

The issue over Sami's run up.

He's hitting upto 92 mph today. Ave of 85mph. And that off a medium pacers run up.

Fast bowlers have to be AGGRESSIVE - 100% all action heroes.

You dont do it if your run up is based on Derek Pringle!

 

[Salman]

lovely ball... he has to get tresco soon...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Trescothick is really lucky today. Its his time to make a century against us

 

[Salman]

Drinks

 

[Oxy]

A better over from Sami.

Eng 75-0 Lead by 52.

Drinks.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bring on Kaneria!

LOL at Derek Pringle's reference. His run-up used to just scream "trundler".

 

[Salman]

computeach advert make IT people look like thinko's

C'mon Oxy I expect better than that from you. He never had a unduely long run up. He generates pace from his action. Its patently obvious that he is bowling well within fimself yet he has bowled the quickest delivery of the match. 91.8mph.

 

[UJ]

Inzamam is back on the field...

 

[Fessal]

We really need quick wickets or otherwise the game will go away from us.
still 75/0
