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

[James]

Monty on at the other end

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

i don't know how many times faisal has been beaten already

what will happen to him in OLD TRAFORD?

hell be rested if myk is fit

 

[Easa]

50 overs left. 8 wickets are needed or 287 runs.

Faisal 28 of 102 balls

 

[Easa]

Monty on from the Pavillion End, just switches ends.

 

[MIG]

Its a confidence game - at Old Trafford we will reorganize and play better, Inshallah.

Faisal also played in Karachi where the ball was moving as well.

Its a question of survival and not being brow beaten - Faisal is like Miandad in that way ( his uncle ) well done to him

Yaar, MIG. Faisal made his 100 in the second innings, when the ball was not doing that much. He came at 5 didn't he? I dont think he's suitable for the number three spot

 

[Gunner786]

well this is their only chance to take lead in this series,

when freddie comes back it will be much harder for them

 

[Easa]

49 overs remaining.

95-2

Youaf 37 of 50
Iqbal 29 of 105

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

50 overs left. 8 wickets are needed or 287 runs.

Faisal 28 of 102 balls

if 20 over elft 150 left andt 6 or 7 wkts left could be interesting

 

[Easa]

if 20 over elft 150 left andt 6 or 7 wkts left could be interesting

Yes, it could be.

I'd send in Afridi

 

[Easa]

Iqbal is exposing his legstump too much.

 

[Rana]

95-2

 

[Easa]

Driven for 4, good timing

 

[iZeeshan]

I really like Harmison btw, for those you thought I was cursing him off.

Wait why wuznt that edge out?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 more for FI

 

[Rana]

281 needed from a possible 288 deliveries, shud we play it like an odi now

 

[Easa]

99-2

Plunkett targetting the legstump

 

[iZeeshan]

Good shot by Iqbal for 4

 

[Rana]

99-1

 

[ShowStopper]

Plunkett to Faisal Iqbal, no run, and he’s got him! No he hasn’t. Right-hander back-cuts this straight to Jones’ gloves, Cricinfo thinks there was an edge…none of the England fielders do

Thanks England you are good hosts.

 

[Easa]

And that was centimeters away, very close.

48 overs to survive.

99-2 after 32 overs

 

[Gasherbrum]

cricinfo:

"31.1 Plunkett to Faisal Iqbal, no run, and he’s got him! No he hasn’t. Right-hander back-cuts this straight to Jones’ gloves, Cricinfo thinks there was an edge…none of the England fielders do "

easy there, tiger!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

blofeld and boycott are on they are telling it straight

 

[Rana]

sorry its 99-2

 

[ShowStopper]

99-1

99/2 not 1

 

[iZeeshan]

Why is Faisal eaving his left side, if he stayed prompt, he might be able to whip tht away for 4.

 

[ShowStopper]

easy there, tiger!

@tiger

 

[Easa]

cricinfo:

"31.1 Plunkett to Faisal Iqbal, no run, and he’s got him! No he hasn’t. Right-hander back-cuts this straight to Jones’ gloves, Cricinfo thinks there was an edge…none of the England fielders do "

easy there, tiger!

And believe it or not, that is the THIRD time that has happened to Iqbal in this innings..

 

[Rana]

drinks

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

drinks

 

[Easa]

Time for some drinks.

 

[ShowStopper]

Current partnership 66 runs, 19.5 overs, rr: 3.32 (Mohammad Yousuf 37, Faisal Iqbal 21) Mashallah guys keep it going.

 

[INZItheman]

And believe it or not, that is the THIRD time that has happened to Iqbal in this innings..

Lucky him but i don't know why Eng are not appealing!

 

[Rana]

before i wrote that FI we want a century from you today, but after looking at his strike rate, i will change it to....

Cmon Iqbal, half century from you today please!

 

[iZeeshan]

And that was centimeters away, very close.

48 overs to survive.

99-2 after 32 overs

I wouldn't say to sruvive, I'd say left to win

 

[Easa]

Plunk to continue, one for Iqbal.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[Easa]

Brings up Pakistan's 100.

[Raz]

Runs are now being taken at ease now.

 

[samisback]

if we go to tea , needing 210 runs ,with 30 over's and 8 wicket's in hand, then the game is our's for the taking inshAllah....

 

[Raz]

Pakistan should get to tea, inshallah still with these two at the crease and then look to attack then.

 

[samisback]

Salam Cav.

How are you?

 

[Schiller]

are you guys gunning for a win here?

 

[Raz]

272 needed from 46 overs for victory.

 

[Easa]

Hoggy back on

 

[UJ]

If we are going to have a chance to win we need 70 runs before tea without any more wickets falling

Otherwise it would be quite difficult!

 

[samisback]

faisal needs to accelerate a bit here as well..or rotate the strike at least...

we can do it lad's come on...england are tired now...

come on faisal.......you are well set lad..

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Do you guys think Yousuf is thinking about going for the victory? Is Pakistan going for the victory? Or draw?

 

[Easa]

are you guys gunning for a win here?

If we have 8 wickets available at tea, anything is possible.

 

[Raz]

are you guys gunning for a win here?

The possiblity is still there considering the firepower we have still in the pavillion.

 

[Schiller]

we will Never go for a win here

 

[Easa]

108-2

C'mon boys!

 

[samisback]

if we go to tea , needing 210 runs ,with 30 over's and 8 wicket's in hand, then the game is our's for the taking inshAllah....

[Easa]

If Iqbal missed that, that was plumb.

 

[Raz]

Flicked for a single

109-2

 

[samisback]

if we go to tea without loosing any wicket's then strong case for freedi to come out next...i says time for some shuffling in the middle order...

england are going through the motions...while we need to go for the kill.


109 for 2.
