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

[samisback]

Bumble saying the OT pitch is lightening like Perth

far from it, but conditions over there are different.........for sure.

 

[Easa]

Its also spinning, Bumble said

 

[Raz]

Very fast pitch, doesn't sound good.

We are missing our 95 MPH+ bowler

We have a 95+mph bowler in the squad. For some reason though he hasn't bowled anywhere near that pace!

 

[Easa]

far from it, but conditions over there are different.........for sure.

That's what Bumble is saying

 

[samisback]

Very fast pitch, doesn't sound good.

We are missing our 95 MPH+ bowler

that would be the one at headingly

and no, i hear from me sources shoaib will be playing that one, inshAllah !

 

[Bilsher007]

If only catches were taken, decisions had gone in our favour and our top order fired in first and second innings the complexion of the match would have be entirely different. Whippy squash would have been sweating like hell for england's survival. Instead it's pakistan who have to survive out there.

Razzak attack don't be mazzak ! PLease begin attacking !!!!!

 

[Easa]

We have a 95+mph bowler in the squad. For some reason though he hasn't bowled anywhere near that pace!

His quickest has been 90.8, average around 86 MPH.

 

[samisback]

i thought , it was out, plumb in front.


razi survives......dont know how

 

[Easa]

Big appeal, not out

It was going over the top

 

[samisback]

perhaps a good stride in.

another huge cry baby type appeal...given not out.

 

[samisback]

bat was miles away..what are you on about , you cry babies.

 

[Easa]

i thought , it was out, plumb in front.


razi survives......dont know how

Big stride, never going to be given out

 

[Saj]

Begging for bat/pad. Bat was nowhere near the ball.

Razzaq is playing a dangerous game - use your bat Abdul !

 

[samisback]

3rd appeal in a row...what are you on about...time to mute the tele i feels

 

[Easa]

Another huge appeal, NOT OUT yet again

 

[UJ]

Eng appealling like crazy here...

 

[MIG]

Dont know if anyone is following scores on cricbzz but the chat window is hilarious - its a no hold barred cursing contest between Pak and Ind supporters !

 

[Raz]

Panesar was about to cry then. Poor Monty!!

 

[iZeeshan]

There are appeals against Razzaq...3 in a row..not looking good

 

[Easa]

Plunk back into the attack

 

[samisback]

If only catches were taken, decisions had gone in our favour and our top order fired in first and second innings the complexion of the match would have be entirely different. Whippy squash would have been sweating like hell for england's survival. Instead it's pakistan who have to survive out there.

Razzak attack don't be mazzak ! PLease begin attacking !!!!!

we hear ya bhai, but dont have to keep repeating every after 2 minutes im sure whippy hasn't missed a word you posted


liam to replace harmi.

 

[Raz]

Dont know if anyone is following scores on cricbzz but the chat window is hilarious - its a no hold barred cursing contest between Pak and Ind supporters !

That has been ongoing for quite some time!!

 

[Easa]

Dont know if anyone is following scores on cricbzz but the chat window is hilarious - its a no hold barred cursing contest between Pak and Ind supporters !

Noticed that

 

[ShowStopper]

i thought , it was out, plumb in front.


razi survives......dont know how

I bribed the umpire handsomly.

 

[samisback]

man of the match = mohd yousaf.



2 runs only no 3333333333333333333333 inzi

 

[Easa]

Lovely straight drive, 3 taken

 

[MIG]

Razzaq is either super slo mo or lightning quick - no in between !

 

[Easa]

Razzi 6 of 44 balls

 

[ShowStopper]

we hear ya bhai, but dont have to keep repeating every after 2 minutes im sure whippy hasn't missed a word you posted


liam to replace harmi.

Hahaha To win we have to score nearly 9 an over. Come on guys you can.................................................................................................Draw it.

 

[samisback]

inzi needs to score at least 80 * if im to get any where close in the top 10 (fantasy league


and razi need's to up it up as well...

 

[Raz]

Razzi 6 of 44 balls

Still can't beat that 4 from 70 odd

 

[Rob H]

Razzaq is either super slo mo or lightning quick - no in between !

yes, that innings in Sydney will stick in everyone's mind.

 

[ShowStopper]

Plunkett to Inzamam-ul-Haq, no run, angles into Inzamam’s pads before jagging away at the last minute, and he gets an inside edge onto his pads, almost cutting him in two

 

[MIG]

yes, that innings in Sydney will stick in everyone's mind.

That was a cracker in the snail world...

 

[iZeeshan]

At this point, I am gussing Afridi will come in next.

 

[Bilsher007]

There's only 24 overs left, pakistan needs to play some attacking cricket out there. No point in ending the test in draw in a ultra defensive mode, pakistan needs to play some daring cricket to leave a good impression at lords. This will be vital to carry phycological advantage over the english whilst denting some of their top bowler's confidence ( harmison and hoggard ).

 

[ShowStopper]

Still can't beat that 4 from 70 odd

Correct me if I am wrong. There he eat too much Spenich

 

[Easa]

That 4 of 70 was brilliant!

 

[Easa]

I'd go in with Afridi ahead of Iqbal.

Definetly

 

[UJ]

Still can't beat that 4 from 70 odd

That innings was very exciting

Block block block leave block block leave

 

[samisback]

i honesly think, england were a tad late declaring, they should have declared yesterday.......at the close of play or even perhap's 15 minutes before.

 

[Easa]

Ramiz wants Iqbal to play next test ahead of Fridi

 

[ShowStopper]

i honesly think, england were a tad late declaring, they should have declared yesterday.......at the close of play or even perhap's 15 minutes before.

Exactly.

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan is totally defensive, even the short and wide delveries arent being taken care of. The delivery before was clearly there for a sweep

 

[samisback]

The more Runs inzi scores here, the better it will be for him in the TEst batting rankingsSSSSSSSSsssSSS!!!!

166 for 4.

 

[Rob H]

i honesly think, england were a tad late declaring, they should have declared yesterday.......at the close of play or even perhap's 15 minutes before.

would've given Parkistarn a sniff then. Strauss isn't a Steve Waugh or Ricky Ponting who knows that his bowlers will back him up if he sets a teasing declaration.

 

[ShowStopper]

Ramiz wants Iqbal to play next test ahead of Fridi

I think we need to let Afridi know Ramiz said that.

 

[ShowStopper]

The more Runs inzi scores here, the better it will be for him in the TEst batting rankingsSSSSSSSSsssSSS!!!!

166 for 4.

I am sure he will move up but a fifty here may take him to No. 2

Current Top ten:

1 R. Ponting AUS 931
2 R. Dravid IND 882
3 J. Kallis SA 832
4 Inzamam-ul-Haq PAK 831
5 M. Hayden AUS 808
6 Younis Khan PAK 796
7 Mohammad Yousuf PAK 780
7 M. Hussey AUS 780
9 K. Pietersen ENG 746
10 B. Lara WI 732

 

[samisback]

actually it's not all strauss , i reckon Fletch has plays a key role in them decision's as well.

5th day , monty in your rank's...pitch is kinda keeping low....i would have done it.

but it would have been a bold move, and not every one is INZI (india 2005 , last test

 

[Bilsher007]

Current partnership 25 runs, 14.3 overs, rr: 1.72 (Inzamam-ul-Haq 16, Abdul Razzaq 6)



Now that is ultra defensive. I know pakistan is playing for a draw but atleast play some attacking cricket to leave a good impression here at lords and score some phycological points over the english pommies.

 

[iZeeshan]

What's the run rate for this session. Should be around 1.5 eh?

 

[Easa]

would've given Parkistarn a sniff then. Strauss isn't a Steve Waugh or Ricky Ponting who knows that his bowlers will back him up if he sets a teasing declaration.

And Strauss wont want to be the captain that declared twice and lost.

 

[Easa]

Inzi 29 of 73 balls
Razzi 6 of 45 balls

 

[samisback]

haaa , haaa

monty appeals like a baby again and steve told him off...(he was blocking steve's view

 

[Rob H]

Hopefully Strauss doesnt try and overuse the bowlers now. He knows it's a draw and there is no point in risking a Flintoff style injury.

 

[iZeeshan]

This is bad for my fantasy team! Where's Afridi??!! Lts see some fireworks. Come on Plunkett, come on Harmison get Razzaq outa here

 

[ShowStopper]

Current partnership 25 runs, 14.3 overs, rr: 1.72 (Inzamam-ul-Haq 16, Abdul Razzaq 6)



atleast play some attacking cricket to leave a good impression here at lords and score some phycological points over the english pommies.

You said that earlier already

 

[iZeeshan]

Lol Inzi was gone there, Bucknor coudn't see it though!

 

[Billy]

Lol Inzi was gone there, Bucknor coudn't see it though!

Pitched outside leg didn't it?

 

[ShowStopper]

Plunkett to Inzamam-ul-Haq, 1 run, squares him up and Inzamam plays this quite superbly, watching the ball right onto the bat. He really is a fabulous batsman

Come on Cuptan Jee only 20 odd overs.

 

[Rob H]

Ramiz - "England need to strike now"

this is why i hate Ramiz. He stats the bloody obvious too often.

 

[iZeeshan]

Inzi batting at ultimate low SR

 

[samisback]

time for colly to take over...and give the english bowler's some well earned rest.....


167 for 4

 

[ShowStopper]

Yousaf has 250 for the match and there 3 more tests to go Can he go on to break the Bradman's record? Wait and see

 

[samisback]

Ramiz - "England need to strike now"

this is why i hate Ramiz. He stats the bloody obvious too often.

well i wont mind , if razi get's out now to be honest....

 

[Easa]

Ramiz - "England need to strike now"

this is why i hate Ramiz. He stats the bloody obvious too often.

Completely agree

 

[samisback]

Yousaf has 250 for the match and there 3 more tests to go Can he go on to break the Bradman's record? Wait and see

you never know.

 

[Easa]

Worked away for a single, Razzi the smasher on strike for the next over

 

[Rob H]

Razzaq could easily get an edge if there is a bit of movement. He just hangs his bat infront of him with hard hands. A little bit of movement and he's could easily get an edge.

 

[whyhkk]

i think one of these should get retired hurt and then afridi can hit a few

 

[iZeeshan]

Cmmon Razzaq, play a rash shot, take your chances!

I WANT AFRIDI!

 

[ShowStopper]

Ok come on Razzaq a few overs of Baseball would be a real treat Please

MASHALLAH great to see three middle order pakistani batsmen in the top ten batsmen of the world ! We need younis khan back for next test !

 

[Rob H]

Worth giving Pietersen another try. Razzaq was all over the place to Monty in that last over.

 

[Easa]

Another maiden over

 

[Rob H]
