if afridi comes out... i see fastbowlers and bouncers.

 

[Rana]

hoggy continues

 

[samisback]

I'd love to see Panesar to bowl to Afridi.

took word's right out of me mouth.


122 for 3.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

tell me how that is not a waist high no ball by monty.....

 

[ShowStopper]

panesar to Faisal Iqbal, SIX, now then he comes down the pitch and lofts Monty over his head for a fine six; excellent shot

 

[samisback]

if afridi comes out... i see fastbowlers and bouncers.

and i see balls going straight out of lord's and straight into the River Thames


1 run to faisal flicked away.

 

[Rana]

cmon inzi, show us some class today

 

[qasim722]

Yaar left arm spinners have never troubled pakistan in the past even the legendry left arm Bishen singh Bedi was thrashed by Imran khan.

 

[Easa]

Cricbuzz still think Plunkett is bowling. ) )

37.6 Plunkett to Iqbal, 1 run, the ball slips from his hands, full toss almost at Iqbal's chest, he pulls it to deep square leg
37.5 Plunkett to Iqbal, no run, defends it
37.4 Plunkett to Iqbal, FOUR!!, short and wide outside off, Iqbal goes on the backfoot and cuts it to deep backward point
37.3 Plunkett to Iqbal, no run, pitches on middle, turns away, Iqbal edges that to gully
37.2 Plunkett to Iqbal, no run, pitches on leg, Iqbal defends it
37.1 Plunkett to Iqbal, no run, plays it to forward short leg

 

[samisback]

panesar to Faisal Iqbal, SIX, now then he comes down the pitch and lofts Monty over his head for a fine six; excellent shot

you watching the same match, as we all are

 

[shan]

calm down faisal

 

[Jimmy two-times]

How many overs left?

 

[Easa]

Crowd getting geed up

 

[shan]

How many overs left?

150 minuts left

 

[Easa]

you watching the same match, as we all are

)

 

[ShowStopper]

He is nothing too good


Panesar to Faisal Iqbal, 1 run, Panesar slips and delivers a really slow beamer which is hooked round behind square, but the batsman didn’t get hold of that gift properly

Bowling beamers with his pace, he sure will make Irfan pathen proud

 

[Easa]

Minimum of 41.2 overs left

 

[samisback]

i see the plan here for inzi here...same as aussie's had for Dravid....strong leg sidish field and bowl straight.....



but inzi manages to get a single down to fine leg...


124 for 3

 

[UJ]

Inzi is off the mark with a single

 

[shan]

Minimum of 41.2 overs left

what about time? those overs will be bowled no matter what?

 

[Easa]

DAMN, I've made 221 posts today.

)

 

[samisback]

inzi dropped

 

[ShowStopper]

you watching the same match, as we all are

O hoo I was reading the cricinfo commentary and then left and came back not realising that happened earlier and was excited and posted it there but didn;t it excited you all for a second

 

[Rana]

444444

 

[Easa]

Inzi guides it past slip for 4.

Very languid shot by Inzi

 

[samisback]

44444444444444444444444444444444444444

non the less , flirting with danger inzi....

was he giving catching practice to slip there.....

 

[James]

Hmm, if we get Inzy and maybe one more guy before tea I think we will win. The draw's still definitely on tho.

 

[Easa]

inzi dropped

Very difficult,

 

[Rana]

inzi gives a half chance, panesar is really turning the wicket, if only keneria cud have bowled on this wicket today

 

[shan]

ohhh inzyyyyyyyyy why give a chance? we just have to bat 40 overs

 

[Bilsher007]

Yousuf had done his job in this test match, 202 in first innings and 48 in second. That's 250 runs in a single test match but more should be do ? We need a big partnership between inzamam abd fiasal, INSHALLAH fiasal to get 50 and inzamam to get 100 atleast INSHALLAH.

 

[samisback]

O hoo I was reading the cricinfo commentary and then left and came back not realising that happened earlier and was excited and posted it there but didn;t it excited you all for a second

not excited, you nearly gave me a heart-attack, i thought i was watching the wrong Match here ! !


128 for 3..

come on inzi ....concentrate, reverse sweeps, sweeps, down the wicket...back foot cut's , front foot cut's....and monty............

 

[Easa]

252 runs to win from 40 overs.

Possible, if we keep wickets in hand for a late assault.

 

[ShowStopper]

inzi gives a half chance, panesar is really turning the wicket, if only keneria cud have bowled on this wicket today

I think he is turning the ball

 

[samisback]

come on faisal need a boundary in this over...the more the better.....

1 run...ok not bad.

 

[Easa]

Flicked away by a single by nephew.

Inzi on strike

 

[samisback]

this is mouth watering stuff for freedi..both hoggy and monty i tell ya....

promise


good shot played straight down the ground 2 runs to inzi


131 for 3

 

[iZeeshan]

Inzi hardly on strike

 

[Easa]

Two runs to Inzi down the ground, just a push

 

[Easa]

Bouncer, Inzi ducks. Pull those for 6, Aalo bhai

 

[samisback]

these are ideal conditions for batting, it's hot n humid (fielder's will feel it more) ...bowler's same...

ball is 40 over's old....


you cant go wrong..inzi can set this one up for us..if he stays till the very end.

 

[Easa]

Bootha calling Inzi 'magnificent'. I completely agree.

 

[samisback]

wide of the crease hoggy....driffted it into inzi's pad..and inzi plays it with ease.

 

[shan]

20 minuts before tea

 

[Easa]

Don't think Inzi is going for the win

 

[sneekysneeky]

reading this thread i think inzis going for the draw...

 

[kasoo10]

Anyone thinks we can win this?

 

[shan]

no more wickets plz

 

[samisback]

come on inzi 75.6 mph...

you could do better with that rubbish thrown at ya....dont give it the respect it does not deserve.

 

[umarbeast]

how many overs left till tea?

 

[samisback]

i seriously feel.. IF WE DONT LOOSE ANY MORE WICKET'S AND GO TO TEA WITH 7 WICKET'S IN HAND AND AROUND 210 RUNS TO GET IN 30 OVER'S, IT'S GAME ON WITH FREEDI/RAZZAQ/KAMI STILL WAITING IN THE WINGS.

 

[Easa]

Optimistic appeal

 

[qasim722]

Bouncer, Inzi ducks. Pull those for 6, Aalo bhai

Dont call him allo bhai otherwise he will be as animated as he was in Canada.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

[samisback]

Kaneria's is very good after 40 odd matches

 

[shan]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ************* inzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Toony™®]

i think its gonna be a draw.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

i seriously feel.. IF WE DONT LOOSE ANY MORE WICKET'S AND GO TO TEA WITH 7 WICKET'S IN HAND AND AROUND 210 RUNS TO GET IN 30 OVER'S, IT'S GAME ON WITH FREEDI/RAZZAQ/KAMI STILL WAITING IN THE WINGS.

I seriously feel that we should be happy with a draw

 

[samisback]

heyyy guys....is the ground at lords a big ground...or would you say its size is average???

it's a big ground not as big as the aussie ground's but not short for sure...


good shot by inzi

4444444444 noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

333333333333333333 runs :d

 

[Easa]

Three more to Inzi, cut away

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

3rd run good shot

 

[Easa]

135-3

 

[Bilsher007]

We can win yes but we need to see off this period. Once we are in the eveining session we must play some attacking cricket. Inzamam will have to lead again as always to show to the boys (farhat, butt and fiasal) to play on this wicket.
