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

[ali_ed2006]

Kaneria has scored 22 centuries in 38 tests. Beat that Bradman!

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 75/0

Trescothick 36*
Strauss 29*

Inzi back on the field and straightaway he brings on Kaneria

 

[Salman]

LBW not given....

 

[moiez_no1]

not given
]

 

[Usman Chadda]

That was out. What the hell is wrong with Doctrove?!

 

[moiez_no1]

that was out i am ******

 

[Oxy]

That looked like it was hitting middle (to the untrained eye like mine)

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Doctrove saves Strauss.

 

[Usman Chadda]

That was plumb! Hitting middle and leg-stump. Doctrove does it again

 

[Raz]

LBW that was plumb was not given by Doctrove, Strauss lucky to be there still.

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[Oxy]

Dr Doctrove.

That WAS hitting middle - not leg, nor off. Smack in the middle of middle!!!

 

[Raz]

And then was that dropped by Akmal next ball?!

 

[Billy]

I'm not sure I like this new rule about spinners not being able to get LBW's y'know....

 

[Salman]

Good start from Kaneria... game on

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hair and Doxtrove are on a mission to lead England to a series win

 

[UJ]

I think doctrove thought that hit him outside the line

Strauss survives...

 

[the_game]

Doctrove is not biased. He is just ridiculously incompetent.

 

[Oxy]

Its one thing bowling crap - we are not - we are bowling well.

Its one thing dropping the catches - and Kami has done that.

Its another when BOTH umpires are simply not giving the PLUMB lbws and the edges (off the bat)!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Surprised Doctrove didn't signal that appeal as wide.

 

[pakmandanish]

no wonder danish not getting if umpire stands against him its damn difficult to claim any wickets

 

[b0wld]

Doctrove saves Strauss.

AGAIN

 

[Oxy]

Its not like Doctrove has just turned incompetent.

He always was.

 

[Salman]

I've got a feeling there going to try and attack Nazir a lot....

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir replaces Sami

Doctrove should be kicked off the Elite Panel now. He has had a horrible game so far

 

[b0wld]

why oh why is inzi continuing with sami...he should hav given the ball to nazir

 

[pakmandanish]

why is sami still bowling
he has failed in his last 8overs(!)

 

[offcutter]

If you count the amount of decisions and drops that have plagued Sami, I'm sure its more than twice as many as any other bowler in the series.

 

[Usman Chadda]

why oh why is inzi continuing with sami...he should hav given the ball to nazir

Nazir has replaced Sami

 

[Oxy]

If MoYo hit a 6 into the crowd, and it was caught by a spectator in row Z, Doctrove would give it out!

 

[Usman Chadda]

If MoYo hit a 6 into the crowd, and it was caught by a spectator in row Z, Doctrove would give it out!

Too true

 

[moiez_no1]

And then was that dropped by Akmal next ball?!

dropped but no edge

 

[Uzzy]

If MoYo hit a 6 into the crowd, and it was caught by a spectator in row Z, Doctrove would give it out!

I wouldnt be surprised.

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Nazir replaces Sami

Doctrove should be kicked off the Elite Panel now. He has had a horrible game so far

Its a disgrace to the human race that he is on the Panel!

 

[b0wld]

another edge...wat is wrong with inzi's field placement

 

[pakmandanish]

hmmm
cricbuzz writes sami bowling

 

[Raz]

77-0 England lead by 54

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir is hardly threatening both the batsmen

Good over anyway. Kept Tresco quiet

 

[Bilsher007]

Great over from Kaneria, getting the ball to spin, and he came close to picking up the breakthrough wicket

15.6 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, no run, defended

15.5 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, 2 runs, tickled round square

15.4 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, no run

15.3 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, no run, Akmal fluffs that one, which looks like it grazes the outside edge but in fact just misses it

15.2 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, no run, attempted sweep across the line of the ball and there are huge appeals but Billy Doctrove turns it down, perhaps doing a little bit too much and missing off stump. “That’s out,” screams most of the office – and HawkEye has it plumb - but it’s turned down

15.1 Danish Kaneria to Strauss, no run, that ball keeps really low and Strauss goes onto his backfoot but has to adjust and drop his bat down on that one


Billy dcotrove

 

[pakmandanish]

good to see the run rate declining..
nevertheless thats going to be a draw..

 

[UJ]

no bright pink shirt for Ramiz today

oh Ramiz, you've let me down

 

[moiez_no1]

shot 4444444444

 

[Raz]

Sweep shot for 4.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good sweep shot by Tresco

 

[Awesome Anjum]

So we could have had a few wickets by now...

 

[Awesome Anjum]

First runs of Nazir.

 

[offcutter]

no bright pink shirt for Ramiz today

oh Ramiz, you've let me down

Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.

 

[Salman]

Strauss having no problems dealing with Nazir...

 

[Raz]

I've got a feeling that Inzi didn't want to bowl Kaneria at Hair's end because of their history and Hair's general bias against Pakistan. The sensible thing it seemed would be to bowl at Doctrove's end but now he has screwed Kaneria.

[ehjaz]

I am in the office looking at the score board and

 

[Oxy]

Fine ball by Nazir to Tresco.

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Good line.

This is good bowling.

Emulating what he did in the first inns.

 

[Salman]

lovely ball, nearly got a nick

 

[Oxy]

Ok - having watched afew Kami replays, he is NOT getting his body behind the gloves - the gloves are away from the body, so as his momentum takes him one way, the gloves are going in th eother direction.

Seems like a technical issue here - add in the drops, the byes...and you have a crisis going on behind the stumps.

 

[moiez_no1]

middling the ball behind the wickets ??? wt.f ramiz on shud b saying catching it in the middle of the hands or purms

 

[Salman]

Strauss 4 off Daish

 

[Osman]

ICC are pathetic having people like Hair and Doctrove as part of the elite panel. i wudnt even appoint them to umpire an under 7 club game. if they cant spot basic things like plumb lbws and big nicks why the f**k dont they get their eyes checked.

 

[Salman]

Feilding Taufeeq,,,

 

[moiez_no1]

seems like inzii still struggling with chest pains

 

[Bilsher007]

Pakistan needs quick 3 to 4 wickets. Starting with wicket number one now please !

 

[Fessal]

A break through doesn't look like happening when we have cheaters like hair and doctrove standing as umpires.

 

[moiez_no1]

6666666666666

 

[offcutter]

beauty from Nazir no luck though

 

[b0wld]

Kaneria lofteed for SIX....wooohooo....take tat TRUMP CARD

 

[zaminabs]

Kamran Akmal - change of gloves

Why is Kamran Akmal wearing Grey Nicholls gloves instead of his usual green wicketkeeping gloves. Is this a new sponsor for him? If so maybe that's what is distracting him!!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Not good progress from pakistan so far, what the hell is wrong with kaneria ? He's gone for 22 runs of 4 overs ! Not the start pakistan wanted.

 

[shan]

at this rate england will give us 350 runs to chase

 

[Raz]

Not good progress from pakistan so far, what the hell is wrong with kaneria ? He's gone for 22 runs of 4 overs ! Not the start pakistan wanted.

He also has been denied, sorry robbed of a wicket.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 107/0

 

[Bilsher007]

Kaneria being hit by tresco and strauss. Not what the doctor ordered.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Beauty of a ball by Nazir. This is frustrating

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 109/0

Strauss gets his half-century

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Strauss looking for another hundered

 

[Oxy]

Good take by Kami - regulation normally, but given his form this series - it was much needed.

 

[offcutter]

beauty from nazir

 

[Osman]

luck has completely deserted us in this match and series.

 

[Usman Chadda]

How are we supposed to get a wicket?!

 

[offcutter]

Bring Sami back
