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

Not in test cricket though - ODIs are easy to get through in short bursts. 50 overs in a day - today we are taking 75 odd overs - maybe 90 tomorrow
 
What a spell by Akhtar, he was nothing, but beauty, can watch his last 5 overs all day long.
 
If we get Dravid now it will huge pressure for upcomming batsmen.
 
What a shot from Dravid - off TAnvir.

Straight down the ground for 4

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...:):)

That series has already been done inzi....we are a bit better now..just look at the recent ODI series.. :P
 
Tanvir is either nervous or is getting found out by teh Wall
 
we need to have them 100 for 3
then 200 for 5
then 320 odd all out
 
MP dont worry.....i m sure its a nice feeling after winning a series every once in 25 yrs at your home soil.....congrats.....
 
Tanvir is just not ready to bowl at this level in Test matches. He has to be able to develope this ball which comes into the right hand batsmen or he ll be just one trick pony

:)) especially if its against Pakistan.. :P
 
why are we so worried how fast these guys are bowling?

i would be more worry about if they can take wickets or not....
 
Malik has to ask Sami to bowl fast, on the stumps, and not worry about getting hit. And give hm at least 3 fielders on the leg side

Wow Rameez..seriously...Sami is weak-hearted??

That was just made up - total BS! Sami may have his detractors - but they wouldnt call him 'weak hearted' - hes talking out of his butt again!

Shameful stuff
 
Ramiz raja first told people say "he easily gives up". Towards the end he said "He gives 100%" which is true? lol

Agree with that. Wonder why Rameez is doing it :9:
 
Rameez & his freeloading missus can go for some more food...

We need to get Dravid as soon as possible after lunch.
 
Really man you need to be very optimistic to support this Pak team. I can not find it in myself. We have spin on in just 11th over in a test, it is later even in ODIs. I am sure it is due to the lack of bowing options. I was always blaiming Inzi for such decissions.

take it easy, it would jsut one over before lunch
 
Sohail Tanvir expected a wicket just like one dayer with so many fielder behind the offside. In one dayers they went for shots. In Tests Dravid will leave those balls all day. For hist 115 kph stuffs , i think Sohaib Malik is over attacking with 7-2 field. That will give so many boundary balls.
 
on other hand, India have seen off shoaib's 5 overs and lost just 1 wicket, it will be too easy for them for next 15-20 over now before he comes back.

I think Malik should give Shoaiby 2-3 overs straight after lunch as he can take rest in lunch time

it's beginning og Inn so captain need to attack and look for wickets, field can be adjusted if batsmen get settled
 
I'm embarrasses with this bowling attack. For a team that use to possess legends like Wasim, Waqar, Imran, Saqlain is now reduced to this. Yes, Asif and Gul are injured (same old story with pak cricket) but this Tanvir can't seriously be the best test level bowler in the country. Typical pak selectors, mixing ODI level cricket with test. Tanvir hasn't looked even close to being a test standard bowler. Absolutely no potential.

It's going to be a loong test match with Shoaib looking the only bowler capable of taking wickets.

duh
 
shoaib is the only potent bowler in this Pak attack to take all 10wickets. rest are there for fill ups.
 
I just can't watch Misbah's run out again, my man could not get his hundred, still feeling bad about it.

doin good, hope u doin well too. yaar kaneria takes a wicket either by conceding 100runs or bowling30overs, whichever comes 1st. :)))
 
i hope SHoaib has one of those Colombo's spell he had against Aussie, where he picked 5wickets in 3overs including 3 in 1over.

You don't think he didn't try? He knew he had to remove Dravid upfront. The first ball Dravid recieved was good one. Just offline.
 
Watching ZeeSport's lunch break discussion....with 2 ex-cricketers (Atul Wason and Ashish kapoor) and a host. Atul said that Sohail Tanveer's nick name in the Pak team is "pankha" - as in "electric fan". :)

Yeah, he would have rather bowled a stright one and asked Dravid politely 'Brother please move away from front of the stumps'!

yes tanny said that to Mani in Chamipon's program.
 
Taufnell /Doctrove probably would have learnt Kumble is a wicket to wicket bowler. So i won't be surprised if Kumble gets more leg before in the second innings.
 
LOL..British soccer teams have funny names..West Ham vs Tottenham.. ;-)

Anyhow..play should resume in a couple of minutes.
