India v Pakistan | 1st Test | Delhi | 23/11/07 | Day 2

[CricnPak]

can anyone describe the field that malik's set for akthar and tanvir?

 

[Asim2Good]

Great Over by my man!

ok ) ) )

 

[XFactor]

Terrific cover drive by Dravid..... 4!

 

[inzibhai]

BTW who is 'Bhanja' & whom?


Javed Miandad is Mamu, and Faisal Bhanja...now what kind of question was that???

 

[Usman Chadda]

Tanvir is going to get pummeled with these 70 mph lollypops! Dravid outs him away for a boundary first ball

 

[XFactor]

poke-and-miss

 

[Oxy]

Dravid plays and misses at a lowish one - Id keep Tanvir on for 1 more.

Then try SAmi

 

[inzibhai]

please lets bring sami....why are not using him on the other end?

 

[W63L35]

at least G Lawson is dong something for once, allah bakhshay Bob chacha ko, all he use to do is chat online ..

The amount of money Lawson is getting paid for cleaning shoaib's shoes, I am sure we find a millions of people in Pak who would gladly do this.

 

[XFactor]

Another 4 on the onside! Dravid has found his touch.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another boundary and guess what - another 70 mph lollypop!

 

[Genghis]

Tanvir getting a bit wayward ... gotta hold his line and length now ... didn't he watch Ganguly.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Dravid is taking tanveer apart... two boundaries for him in this over so far !!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Tanno needs to up his pace, this is test cricket, only ganguly is allowed to bowl at 70mph

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

such predictable bowling

 

[Oxy]

Tanvir battered by Dravid. 3 boundaries!

T20 form

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

ANother four for dravid !!

 

[XFactor]

One more boundary on the leg side!

Tanvir coming around the wicket didnt help.

 

[inzibhai]

I'm yet to seee Tanvir appealing for lbw....all he is doing is bowling outside offstump.....

oh dear another 4....

 

[MarathaPride]

Good work Dravid and yes, Welcome Back!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Tanvir needs to get upto the 80 mph mark. No way is he going to pick wickets with 70mph dollies

 

[Oxy]

70 MPH wont protect him sadly

Early days - hes only bowled 2 overs in test cricket

 

[inzibhai]

3rd one....ok thats all rd needed....why is Tanvir bowling ahead of sami with his stupid 70 mph?

 

[Pathan007]

and ppl wanted Guk out and Tanvir in. some ppl r simply brainless.

 

[MarathaPride]

Superb Batting Dravid! I should shut up..else I'll jinx him.

 

[Oxy]

Ind 28-1

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Time to introduce Sami into the attack ?!?

 

[jackal786]

Sohail Tanvir is bringing Dravid back to form?

 

[D BHAI]

Whether he is 'Thunder Thighs' or not but he is 'Wicket taker' good Bowlng by Shoaib!

 

[Genghis]

All the good work wasted by the over from Tanvir.

 

[Showman]

Bring on Sami!

 

[jackal786]

What the heck he is bowling slower than Ganguly lol 112 kph?

 

[Pathan007]

he's certainly 12-15mph slower. and all this ina matter of one week.

 

[inzibhai]

rameez and lal in...sucking up to each other....

 

[jackal786]

Akhtar has much smarter than last i saw him against India. He varies the pace a lot also the length.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib clocks 92 mph! Mis-directed yorker though, left alone

 

[Genghis]

I'd say give Tanvir one more, you would rather replace Sami with Shoaib if you could.

 

[Showman]

he's certainly 12-15mph slower. and all this ina matter of one week.

The Indians have doctored with the speed gun! That means Shoaib is bowling 105mph!

 

[XFactor]

Shoaib is bowling well above 90 mph now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

92.4 mph now! Jaffer mistimes the cver drive and Kaneria allows the batsman to get a single

 

[MIG]

Any good bouncers by Akhtar so far ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Last three balls, all above 90mph! 92, 92.4, 91 respectively!

 

[Hash]

I've noticed this about Tanvir. Whenever a bit of pressure is building he comes in and bowls a crap over and gets hit for 10+ runs just to release it all.

Anyway, as I said we need to bowl India out for under 330. Another wicket before lunch would be super.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Finishes with a 90.4 mph

Bring on Sami!

 

[Oxy]

Out & out pace - its what we've been missing fdor too long!

 

[Pathan007]

Any good bouncers by Akhtar so far ?

if pitch saab allows then naaaa

 

[Oxy]

Any good bouncers by Akhtar so far ?

None

 

[Oxy]

Tanvir - 69.6 mph - not sure what going on here

 

[inzibhai]

shobby bowling his heart out here...

sad we never have Gul/Shobby/Asif toghter bowling ......

 

[Caved12]

Superb Batting Dravid! I should shut up..else I'll jinx him.

Jinx him please, no disrespect to others, but he is the only player I am afraid of, cause others will go on with their usual business when they come to bat where as Dravid will try to prove his point, and he is very well capable of making your selectors eat their words.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Allah maaf kare! 69.6 mph now! Tanvir is bamboozling us all with this pace

And he is put away for a boundary by Jaffer!

 

[inzibhai]

now why is sami and salman fielding in the slip area?

oh dear,,, itnay buray din aa gaye kya..

 

[the true passionist]

Tanvir's best chance is to stay over the wicket please.

 

[Pathan007]

tanvir giving freebies to indian

 

[Amir]

I hope peoplc an see Tanvir is jus tnot a test bowler .Only has one ball and tha tis the one that moves away.

 

[Usman Chadda]

77.8mph now. Much better. I still dont know what the heck is he thinking bowling at 70mph!

 

[Oxy]

now why is sami and salman fielding in the slip area?

oh dear,,, itnay buray din aa gaye kya..

You would be complaining about something even if there wasnt a game being played...

 

[Momo]

What is Sohail trying to do?

 

[MarathaPride]

Jinx him please, no disrespect to others, but he is the only player I am afraid of, cause others will go on with their usual business when they come to bat where as Dravid will try to prove his point, and he is very well capable of making your selectors eat their words.

LOL. Our selectors..well the less said about them the better.

And Jaffer gets a four of Tanvir.

 

[Pathan007]

sohail isn't test material but shame that gul got injured.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ineffective bowling by Sohail. Four very wide deliveries, pretty harmless stuff from him right now

 

[Oxy]

33-1 off 8 overs

Shoab 4 overs 1-10

 

[Pathan007]

tanny bowling absolute cr@p

 

[Pathan007]

Ineffective bowling by Sohail. Four very wide deliveries, pretty harmless stuff from him right now

he's simply wasting new ball.

 

[inzibhai]

You would be complaining about something even if there wasnt a game being played...



whatever.....i know we had the braingless afridi fieliding in the slip for us and he drop lollypop....just in case you dont know, you need specalist fielder for slip area......

 

[Oxy]

Quality L&L from Shoaib. Batsman showing him respect

 

[octavian]

time for M sami, Tanvir bowling crap

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bring on Sami now!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib working up good pace here. Very difficult to get away right now

 

[Oxy]

Plenty of heart being shown by Shoaib - making up for his lack of match fitness

 

[MarathaPride]

Ohoho!! Shoaib trying to be a bit aggressive there..

 

[MIG]

Afraid Tanvir is a little too one dimensional for me. Why cant he bring one in

 

[Oxy]

Top short pitched one to Dravid from Akhtar - well played

 

[Hash]

Plenty of heart being shown by Shoaib - making up for his lack of match fitness

He has bowled almost 50 overs since his return. He really should be match fit by now.

 

[Officer Barbrady]

Dravid, as usual, looks very solid.

 

[inzibhai]

Ohoho!! Shoaib trying to be a bit aggressive there..



i dont know about that....


i think thats more for indians to do...remember all that crap they were talking about be4 aus series until they were put in their place...

 

[Hash]

come on Pak

one more before lunch. come on.

 

[Oxy]

77 mph - thats better from Tanvir.

Needs a few more tricks though

 

[XFactor]

Tanvir's first two balls on the stumps. Defended by Dravid.

 

[MarathaPride]

Just saw a Pakistan is the Best sign. Wonder how many Pak fans are in the stadium.
