[shahidafridi123]

Last over of the day, we will have to wait for the match fixing till tomorrow lol.

 

[Fireworks11]

[shahidafridi123]

I was the closest, but who would be the closest with 1 wicket?

 

[Statsman]

I was the closest, but who would be the closest with 1 wicket?

That's me. I was the closest...yeaaahh!

oh no missed by 1 run (edit)

 

[shahidafridi123]

That's me. I was the closest...yeaaahh!

Sorry, it was Jheenga!

 

[SameerP]

I already knew the score before the start of the match

 

[SameerP]

That's me. I was the closest...yeaaahh!

oh no missed by 1 run (edit)

Are you by any chance Salman butt?

 

[Fireworks11]

Good prediction.

 

[JibranAnsari]

hahahaha@ so-called threatening english bowling

 

[AlizeeFan]

I guess I'm late in this prediction game. Missed the 40-45 minutes of the match. Anyways I enjoyed the most part of Dilshan's performance today. Good display from Lankans.

 

[spoiled]

hope this match gets a result

 

[James]

ah well.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

Box office entertainer is DILSHAN.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

wow lord's. and we thought subcontinent had flat pitches. this pitch might give ahmedabad a run for its money.

 

[cricketindiafan]

BCCI power already on show. Tracks in England have turned flat, a sea change from last summer.

 

[James]

hahahaha@ so-called threatening english bowling

er it just won the game in Cardiff by an innings on flippin Monday. less than a week ago.

yet again I am astounded by the lack of knowledge about the nature of test cricket amongst so-called fans.

 

[majiz]

This is why I love Lords, lots of runs are scored but they're scored quickly and so a team or two always has a sniff right up until the last day. It's not like Guyana.

 

[majiz]

this pitch might give ahmedabad a run for its money.

yeh theres a difference^

 

[CoolSERAZ]

^^ you mean st.kitts? flat pitch. slow scoring and all?

 

[majiz]

^^ you mean st.kitts? flat pitch. slow scoring and all?

most pitches in the west indies really. and the subontinent tbh. it's rarely great test cricket to watch.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

yeah. 2006 series was a
4th test was interesting due to difficult pitch. there dravid showed his class. even ramdin scored a fighting fifty.

 

[Torpedo]

Dilshan could get a double century.

 

[Torpedo]

257/1

 

[CoolSERAZ]

flat as a road this pitch. shame on you curator. bcci conspiracy here.

 

[jheenga]

not looking good for England ...

 

[CoolSERAZ]

what turn? beefy is an idiot. it went straight through.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Salaam guys, Im back.

 

[shahidafridi123]

not looking good for England ...

I know........You won the prediction contest yesterday....heres the thread on that topic: http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=129883

 

[Statsman]

congrats jheenga


I am actually loving this .... SL torturing English bowlers..

 

[Statsman]

The English batsmen were great and all till day before yesterday and since yesterday we are hearing 'the pitch is flat etc'. Good bowlers must take wickets on flat pitches too. And last heard Swann was considered very good.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

where were the innings defeat predictors? i dont see them here.

We didn't do a prediction on that.

 

[Robert]

No, Lords was dead flat last year as well. Has been for years now, which is onre reason why Middlesex win so few games.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

We didn't do a prediction on that.

no some were saying eng 486 will win by innings and 100+ runs.

 

[jheenga]

lol ...nice , so we have 75 overs to go in da day & sl is 203 behind [ new ball after 2 overs] & if somehow these guys can get another 325 from here it cud become very interesting.

Oh, I guess I wasn't there, anyway, Im going to start a prediction later on today.

Aren't you gonna comment on the thread?

 

[jheenga]

not innings def but whimpy did say our tall bowlers will roll dem over

 

[Statsman]

Sanga has a lovely defense

 

[shahidafridi123]

Sanga's highest score in Tests in Eng is only 66, needs to beat that today.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

match should have been at headingley or edgbaston. awesome exciting cricket there.

 

[shahidafridi123]

New Ball taken and Tremlett to bowl the first over with it from Pavilion End.

 

[jheenga]

new ball taken ..... guys,where are the emoticons on the page ?

 

[shahidafridi123]

You mean stuff like or ?

 

[Statsman]

SL Commentator: The one thing I have noted about England bowlers is that they can come back in the game anytime....and I hope they come back..

Eng Commie: What do you mean?

 

[jheenga]

out ....sanga

 

[Statsman]

and they come back





Sanga

 

[shahidafridi123]

Sanga departs!

 

[jheenga]

You mean stuff like or ?

yeah ... & da smileys etc.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

Sanga gone.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Sanga's poor form in Eng continues....

 

[shahidafridi123]

Dilshan needs 7 runs to beat his previous high score which is 168 against Bangladesh. M Jayawardene is the new man in.

 

[Statsman]

Lets see whether Mahela, the statistical Home Track Bully can prove all us wrong..

 

[jheenga]

roof is listed at 7 ... 2 more wickets before lunch & things would look completely different at say 330/4 .

 

[shahidafridi123]

Lets see whether Mahela, the statistical Home Track Bully can prove all us wrong..

Hope SL don't collapse now.

 

[jheenga]

Lets see whether Mahela, the statistical Home Track Bully can prove all us wrong..

oh yes, mahela is just good at home.[292/4]

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Dilshan!

 

[jheenga]

broad being smacked ...296

 

[shahidafridi123]

3 more runs Dilshan to beat youre highest score in Test cricket!

 

[shahidafridi123]

There's his highest score in test cricket!

 

[CoolSERAZ]

YAY For dilshan his highest test score. feels better to have it vs england in england than bangladesh.

 

[Robert]

Dilbert is playing a blinder here, scoring fast against very good bowling.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

ranatunga in the crowd

 

[Statsman]

:4

 

[Poison]

Doesn't matter how good/bad bowling is, if the track is flatter than the freeway then nobody is gonna get many wickets.
