India v Pakistan | 1st Test | Delhi | 24/11/07 | Day 3

[kablooee87]

Typical Rameez.

After critisizing Misbah in the 1st innings for playing too slow...he still hasn't learned and talking the same way about Akmal playing slow here.

Granted, Akmal isn't looking in control, but Rameez is just an idiot.

 

[iZeeshan]

20 minutes to go.

 

[Easa]

Akmal strokes one through covers for 4. Good shot.

187/5

 

[Saj]

lovely back foot drive by KA. That will shut Rameez up !

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Beautiful cover drive here from akmal for a four

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

4 by akmal off kumble, nice push.

 

[XFactor]

Akmal breaks free at last... backfoot push past cover for 4.

 

[sohaibsyed]

come on pakistan.

 

[the Great Khan]

actually moyo just made a mistake and looked really good while he was batting..yk was out twice in that over...he was a unlucky but a good ball from kumble..the pitch is turning but also still good for batting!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Nicely stroked away by Akmal for 4.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

About time Rameez applies for an indian citizenship

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

189-5

 

[Saj]

189 for 5 at the end of the over. 144 ahead

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Please guys dont lose another wicket before the end of days play.. please !!

 

[the true passionist]

about 15 mins to go...bat it out guys.

 

[Caved12]

We will be fine tomorrow if these two could get through this session, today all players must be feeling the pressure, and can get out easily, tomorrow will be another day, they will sit down, tweak their game plan here and there, pump up the tail enders, and hopefully we will get to a decent total.

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

misbah sweeps bhajji fer a single..

 

[the true passionist]

too risky at this time, and that too for a single

 

[Lightning]

Misbah showing he can play in any situation. What a class act. Keep it going! Now imagine if our captain knew how to handle pressure. Ideally I would like Asim Kamal in the team ahead of Malik...

LOL Misbah plays the famous paddle sweep!

 

[iZeeshan]

Is 4:30 the scheduled time, or the extra time? Because if the light is good, they should go on for test purposes.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Akmal sweeps one for four... well played Akmal man !!

 

[Saj]

lovely sweep by KA

good counter attack this.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

PAk now lead by 150 runs !!

 

[iZeeshan]

Four more coming for Akaml thru a sweep.

 

[XFactor]

Runs flowing, and the pressure is being released a bit now.

 

[Lightning]

Good stuff from these two - understanding that runs are as important if not more than staying at the crease. You got to keep moving the game forward so even if a wicket falls, you would've made some progress.

 

[kashmiri]

lovely sweep by KA

good counter attack this.

pakistan on the attack and soon on the rampage

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Is 4:30 the scheduled time, or the extra time? Because if the light is good, they should go on for test purposes.

No i don't think they'll go on much longer... umpires are already concerned abt the light so maybe another 2-3 overs to go...

 

[Momo]

Misbah making Kumble think. Thats the way to play. Instead of buying your own shackles and then locking your feet and then handing the keys to the opposition like we were doing some minutes ago.
Now its better.

 

[XFactor]

Zaheer Khan wasnt allowed to bowl as the light wasnt good enough.

 

[Saj]

MUH launches Kumble for 4 over mid wicket.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

SO Rameez does actually play for the other team and i just don't mean India... according to him the match refree is a good-looking guy !!

 

[sohaibsyed]

200 up

 

[Saj]

200 for 5. lead is now 155

 

[Caved12]

My brother just woke and asked me about the game's situation, told him that pakistan is screwing up big time, then he looked at Tv with semi close eyes as he just woke up and said, it is alrite Misbah is still there. I guess we both are becoming the craziest fans ever of Misbah-ul-haq

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another four for misbah !!

 

[the true passionist]

Please Misbah..you are playing too good for a shot at 4:30

 

[Lightning]

Rameez just called match ref ranjan madugale a good luckinh guy. Then he talks about SRK wearing nice watches. What a fricking wierdo.

Anyway, sublime batting from Misbah. 4 more smashed over the top.

 

[Caved12]

ohh please offer us lights, umpires are looking

 

[Saj]

sweep by Akmal for 1

201 for 5.

 

[iZeeshan]

Misbah is unbelievable! Four more!

Maybe he should be in the team instead of Raza or Raza or Alam.

 

[Pathan007]

45 runs lead KILLIN us. big time!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Misbah takes a single

 

[Lightning]

Misbah in total command!

 

[Caved12]

45 runs lead KILLIN us. big time!

middle order killed us big time bro

 

[kashmiri]

hey the strokes from misbah, are they good proper Strokes, or the streaky variety?

 

[Saj]

Classy shot by KA. Smooth cover drive for 4.

 

[Easa]

Oh, lovely cover drive by Akmal. Beautifully played.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Classical drive from Akmal for a four

 

[Pathan007]

AKMAAAAAAAAAAAAal 4

 

[Lightning]

45 runs lead KILLIN us. big time!

should be thankful it was only 45.

What a drive from Kamran. Against the spin for four more! Positive batting!

 

[sohaibsyed]

great come back partnership

 

[Saj]

hey the strokes from misbah, are they good proper Strokes, or the streaky variety?

clever batting yar. Knows where the fielders are and where to hit it.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another two runs for Akmal ...

 

[iZeeshan]

Classical drive from Akmal! Looking good.

Misbah 26 off 27, btw.

 

[iZeeshan]

2 more from Akmal, looks well set.

 

[Saj]

208 for 5. A lead of 163

 

[slix10]

You need to get some psychiatric help if you think our players deserve to be stoned for poor performances. At the end of the day, this is sport. They have not committed adultery or killed someone so we should stone them?

That was a disgusting and thoughtless post and I am thoroughly offended.

Even that is controversial

 

[kashmiri]

and now akmal getting into the act, the partnership is the second highest till now oif the pak innings.

 

[XFactor]

Tendulkar on at the fag end of the day.

 

[Easa]

Tendulkar into the attack

I'm seriously scared, he's an expert at breaking partnerships as the end of the day.

 

[iZeeshan]

Only 137 more to go. Its not that hard to be honest.

 

[Caved12]

Rameez not agreeing with umpires, saying light can't be bad, whose side is on, I seriously believe now that he has sold himself to Indians.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Sachin into the attack... anyone remember the Moin Khan dismissal ?

 

[iZeeshan]

Ooo Tendulkar on. I am scared like a baby alone in the dark.

 

[kashmiri]

Misbah is unbelievable! Four more!

Maybe he should be in the team instead of Raza or Raza or Alam.

i say, make him the captain and sohail tanvir the vice

 

[slix10]

Rameez is an Indian brown noser from day 1.

 

[kashmiri]

akmal catching up to misbah's score

 

[iZeeshan]

Nicey driven by Akmal for 1.

 

[Caved12]

My bad, I thought Umpires offered us lights, and Rameez was just talking about the lightometer.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Misbah takes a single as the 5o partnership comes up

 

[kashmiri]

Rameez is an Indian brown noser from day 1.

what happened to him?

 

[Easa]

Only 137 more to go. Its not that hard to be honest.

You're so quick to change your mind? If a wicket falls, the world is coming to and end, and if a few boundaries are hit, everything is happy again.

 

[sohaibsyed]

50 partnership ...very well done

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

A slight mix-up but thankfully Akmal is safe..

 

[Momo]

Whats the matter with Sachin's and Kumble's runup?
Why are they stuttering?

 

[Lightning]

This has been an excellent counter attack from these two. Slowly but surely they're bringing Pak back into the forefront.

Light good enough for spin and so play will continue for an over or so more.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Play ended at the same time yesterday.. but play will continue here

 

[iZeeshan]

OooO. My heart stopped for a second. Ok fine, maybe 2 seconds.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Misbah survives an lbw appeal
