Day 5: 1st Test, Pak vs Eng - Update thread [17/7/06]

[ShowStopper]

Ironyis that most of our player's now understand english a bit

)

 

[Easa]

Two runs to Inzi, hes not playing that well

 

[samisback]

thats it...great shot but just for 1.........dang.

 

[Bilsher007]

What the hell fiasal out ? what's going on here ?????

 

[James]

Maiden from KP.

Thats nuts

He isnt that bad a bowler, he is becoming more trusted in int. cricket with overs. Not to forget he has first class wickets, he used to bowl a fair bit at lower levels. Plus it's looking like a spinner's wicket now.

 

[Easa]

Cut away for a single

 

[ShowStopper]

How many overs till TEA?

 

[samisback]

come on razzler..........

what on earth was that..either you play or leave...nothing in between...........

 

[Easa]

Ball keeping low, we cant keep blocking, there are too many people round the bat

 

[ShowStopper]

What the hell fiasal out ? what's going on here ?????

Our players are getting tooooo defensive perhaps.

 

[Bilsher007]

Time for pakistan to go on the offensive. Must playing attacking cricket, panesar picking up two wickets is surprising. I don't even consider him to get one wicket against us.

 

[samisback]

i think last over before tea..
or is it 8 more minute's to tea that would make it 2 over's max!

 

[James]

Inzy is playing crap today, but good shot.

 

[samisback]

kp chucks


thats ittttttttt


444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

 

[Rana]

shot 4444444444444444444444444444444

 

[samisback]

finally................about God dang time inzi....

more of them sexy pull shots

 

[HAFRIDI]

Shot!!!

 

[Easa]

Lovely pull shoT

CMON INZI!

 

[Uzzy]

Inzy is playing crap

Maybe he wants the tea interval.

 

[UJ]

pulled away for 4!!! INZI

 

[samisback]

yep now milk it for a single thats it

150 comes up


230 more runs..

 

[Easa]

Now, a single.

Milk the bowlers, thats right.

150 up

 

[James]

He has been written off as unthreatening and overrated by PPers prior to this test but if anyone is going to make the difference today it is him. Good bowling so far.

 

[samisback]

razzler that was meant to be a perfect cut shot for 4...not meant for your silly block block mode...


and one last over before tea it is..................................!

last over before tea bowled by monty.

 

[Rana]

if kim possible pithes it full, razzaq will slog it i tell u!

 

[James]

Maybe he wants the tea interval.

He just hasnt been that good today since he came in, certainly not by his standards. He is very lucky to be there, 1 or 2 bad shots and nearly bowled twice.

 

[Uzzy]

He has been written off as unthreatening and overrated by PPers prior to this test but if anyone is going to make the difference today it is him. Good bowling so far.

Well obviously as its a spinners wicket. What else would you expect? Even KP bowled some rip snorters.

 

[spongebob]

Could be the bowling find of the summer for england

 

[Rana]

very close

 

[HAFRIDI]

omg close in the air!

 

[samisback]

that was a leg bye...and all the player's + the crowd made it sound like a dropped catch

 

[samisback]

He has been written off as unthreatening and overrated by PPers prior to this test but if anyone is going to make the difference today it is him. Good bowling so far.

yes, we peeps ALWAYS like telling the truth.

monty is rubbish.

 

[James]

Well obviously as its a spinners wicket. What else would you expect? Even KP bowled some rip snorters.

Oh yeah Monty is still crap and overrated, it's just a spinners wicket that is all.

I think people are upset they predicted that he wouldnt take wickets against you and he is - nobody said anything about the conditions, they just wrote him off.

 

[Rana]

last ball b4 tea

 

[HAFRIDI]

Tea

 

[UJ]

151-4 at TEA

 

[samisback]

tiem for some CHA peeps.


32 overs remain..and a small amount of 229 runs to score...(inshAllah)

 

[Nauman]

151/4 is the score at Tea.

 

[Easa]

151-4

32 overs remain, 229 runs, 6 wicket

 

[samisback]

Oh yeah Monty is still crap and overrated, it's just a spinners wicket that is all.

Truth be told, Kp has bowled much better then monty in the whole match........! ! !

 

[Uzzy]

I never said he was crap or overated.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

229 of 192 balls

 

[MIB]

come on England

PaK Sucks

 

[James]

But many did, check the Monty threads.

 

[iZeeshan]

Well, winning for Pak is out of the question. England will be pretty happy with their session, as a win can still be sniffed. Pak lost a key man Mohd Yosuf, and that might be a deciding factor.

 

[samisback]

come on England

PaK Sucks

yes , india JINDAbad

 

[ShowStopper]

monty is rubbish when playing Pakistan

Should we wright it like that

 

[Rana]

you never know about inzi, if he starts playing like he played in the karachi odi 2004 v india, we cud be in within a chance

 

[HAFRIDI]

monty's average

 

[ShowStopper]

yes , india JINDAbad

@ Jindabad

 

[moiez_no1]

Heard Ramiz Raja Say 1hr That They Might Drop Afirdi Or Fasail Iqbal For The Next Test Match , Mostly Likely Shahid Afirdi Coz Iqbal Is A Good Batsmen.

I Dont Understand That Why Dont The Drop Salman Butt And Imran Farhat They Are Total Waste For Our Batting And Bowling

 

[Rana]

come on England

PaK Sucks

you suck

 

[Uzzy]

But many did, check the Monty threads.

I'm not other people. He's a good bowler but some people make him out as though he is TOO good. I would say KP has troubled a few of our batsman more than Monty has through this match.

 

[ShowStopper]

Tea - Day 5

 

[MIB]

yes , india JINDAbad

Those two are openers where as Afridi and Iqbal are not.

here is the solution, drop faisal play freedi as your opener, not that our openers are going to be giving us 100 stand's any way.......so with freedi at least you know if he fires then even if he score 20 or 30, he will give the ball some serious hammering thus , ball will loose shine quicker.......and then freedi is a much better fielder then butt not to mention his highly under-rated bowling.

 

[Saqib]

come on England

PaK Sucks

Come on Pakistan

we can win this game

Its true, people get excited because England fans haven't had many specialist spinners that are big turners of the ball. But he is a good bowler nonetheless and is proving today that he can be the difference if called upon, he is unlucky to only have the 2 wickets if you ask me. The last session will be an interesting one for sure.

 

[Fessal]

I think we can still save it but losing is a big possibility as only Inzy the last recognised batsman. Afridi, Razzq and Akmal are allrounders .

 

[Rana]

england despearatley seekin 6 wickets, will they be taken?

 

[spongebob]

monty has good potential...he is the best spinner at england's disposal right now

It's only his first year in test cricket...everything takes time

 

[moiez_no1]

Those two are openers where as Afridi and Iqbal are not.

OPENERS ?? FARHAT IS OK SOMETIMES BUT BUTT HES CRAP WAT HAS HE DONT IN THIS TEST MATCH ???

 

[Rana]

still 50:50 chance for england!

remeber in 2001, england 2 wickets down at tea and all of a sudden they were bllown away

 

[Uzzy]

Moyo shouldn't have left the ball as he would still be in. A lapse in concentration, otherwise the wicket of Faisal was good.

Yusuf and Faisal have done their job, time for the others to pull their weight...it's a team game remember

 

[Uzzy]

If Pakistan go on to lose this test match, it will be their first test loss since June 2005

 

[Rana]

Monty has been very dangerous today, so has Kim possible

 

[Uzzy]

Yusuf and Faisal have done their job, time for the others to pull their weight...it's a team game remember

Definitely, but wouldn't you rather be 2 wickets down going into tea than 4?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

We need Razzaq's Base ball skills to win this come on Man go blistic. Pleasssssssssssssse.

Optimism is one thing but some of you guys are off your head if you think we have a chance of winning. All we need to do is play out the next two hours, 30 overs with out losing more than 2 wickets. Next partnership needs to consume at least 20-25 overs.

 

[Rana]

If Pakistan go on to lose this test match, it will be their first test loss since June 2005

dont worry mate, we shud draw this match and even if we lose, pakistan will murder england at old trafford, as conditions and crowed clearly suit us

 

[Easa]

We'll either win or draw this match. We aren't going to lose 6 wickets in 32 overs.

 

[sehban]

the way ball is spinning & even the great inzy is having some problems to cope with spinon this kind of wicket ..Only Allah can save us now....although dere r still very gud batsmen left but none of them excel at this kind of situation such as afridi...& our 3 tailenders r pretty much useless
for me pak is in big trouble rite now

 

[P4K1 #1]

inshallah razzaq and inzi will play patiently ... and then wen time comes, afridi can go boom boom.. i highly doubt pak will win the match... draw is obvious

 

[MIB]

u will

 

[Billy]

dont worry mate, we shud draw this match and even if we lose, pakistan will murder england at old trafford, as conditions and crowed clearly suit us

Have you seen the pitches at OT lately? The test strip may be different but all the tracks I've seen this season have been fast and bouncy.

 

[Rana]

atherton says that his experience tells him that england might win

 

[Rana]

the boys are comming out again

 

[samisback]

here we go amigo's.

last session of the hard fought test match..all the best england (you will need it !!

 

[Saj]

Razzaq and Inzi amble to the crease. 2 very laid back characters
