India v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Bangalore | Day 1 | 8/12/07

[Amjid Javed]

Another dross buffet ball and 4 more

101/4

sami is just a joke!

 

[purplehaze]

Yuvi 24(32)

 

[the true passionist]

yeh that is right Ramiz... "watch out for Yuvraj now" he has a start.

 

[Genghis]

Too many runs in the last few over for my liking ... cmon Sami is just gifting them runs here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

even more ***** from sami and 3 more runs!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Typcial crap bowling from sami!

 

[Imy]

Sami has to crank his pace up, With Shoaib in the squad we need 5 bowlers because you dont know what Shoiab will do

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 105/4

YK please take sami off!

 

[nikred]

good to see sami o his usual form

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ganguly 28* yuvi 24*

 

[nikred]

good to see sami go back to his usual form

 

[Sparhawk]

Danish is bowling the perfect area in this over, if he did this more often he wouldnt make centuiries every other match.

 

[slix10]

Cotdamn sami, 12 runs... ****.

 

[the true passionist]

Kaneria has had a good start.

4 overs for 1 run, and a good line. I hope he gets a wicket to get a confidence boost.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan have had 2 half-chances to break the partnership!

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 106/4

Ganguly has shown on this wicket u need to wait on back foot play straight and not go hard at the ball.

 

[Easa]

Ridiculous bowling by Sami, I don't think he himself knows where the hell the ball is going to go. Kaneria bowling excellently but Sami releasing all the ****ing pressure from the other end.

Come on Kaneria!

 

[phoenix-suns]

Why they keep on selecting Sami even after failing to take even a single wicket in two tests? has he been selected for his batting? i thot tanvir inplace of sami wud have been a better choice.

 

[Sparhawk]

Danish continuing to hit the right area, this is good to see. Hes actually looking like a quality bowler.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kaneria deserves a wicket here!

 

[Sparhawk]

He got the edge, unlucky to miss out there.

 

[the true passionist]

well bowled by kaneria...India are being lucky and i sense a big partnership here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ganguly slashes past slip!

Unlucky DK!

111/4

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 partnership up now...

 

[Amjid Javed]

sami bowls a decent ball for once.

 

[phoenix-suns]

When was the last time Sami played for Pakistan?

He always plays for the opposition. He has very healthy average (strike rate) of over 51+... will become great if he keeps the average when he retires.

 

[the true passionist]

Sami has suddenly bowled two good overs.

Drying out the runs will put pressue on IND since both of them are stroke players.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 112/4

 

[Genghis]

Better bowling the last couple of overs ... just need a bit of luck now.

 

[the true passionist]

Kaneria may be charged for attempt for murder one of these days...He has no control over his throws to the keeper.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Yuvi down the wicket and swats ball thru legside for 4

 

[Genghis]

Yuvraj starting to hit out now

 

[TigersFan]

Drinks. Ind-117/4

 

[Sparhawk]

There should be another close in fielder for danish. If yuvraj wants to run down the track hes likely to get stumped.

 

[the true passionist]

Yuvi down the wicket and swats ball thru legside for 4

Danish should like that..He is drawing Yuvraj outside..
He needs to keep his head and consistently keep bowling in the same way.

 

[Amjid Javed]

This session - 14 overs 52 runs 0 wkts

 

[the true passionist]

These two are looking good...
They have pretty much ruled out our chances of getting them under 200.

 

[purplehaze]

wicket looks easy to bat ... India would like yuvi/ganguly/karthik/Pathan/Kumble to make as much use of it as possible ...


and another 4 by Yuvi ... how in the world could BCCI made him sit out in dressing room?

 

[Sparhawk]

What possible reason can sami have for bowling short and wide? He cant have been attempting the bouncer because it wasnt short enough.

 

[purplehaze]

Four by Gangs ....

 

[purplehaze]

elegant drive by Yuvi .. 4

 

[the true passionist]

129/4

poor over form Kaneria.

Akhtar not yet back on field, and we have got to take 16 more wickets in this game.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

pakistan have lost the track...india on top again

 

[Easa]

WHAT a shot by Yuvraj, another rank half volley by Sami

get your act together

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

rubbish ball by SAMI

 

[Sparhawk]

Half volley outside off this time, Yuvraj wont miss out on these lollipops.

 

[161]

horrible horrible stuff from sami ... either bowling too full or too short .. never gets his length right !!

 

[phoenix-suns]

horrible horrible stuff from sami ... either bowling too full or too short .. never gets his length right !!

What can you expect from sami?

He is crap. period.

 

[iZeeshan]

Majestic stuff from Yuvi.

 

[Sparhawk]

oooh completely beat yuvi with that one, almost dragged that onto his stumps.

 

[the true passionist]

Yuvraj's shot are such confidence dampeners on the opposition but Kaneria should keep his head..He has been bowling pretty well.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

DUK is such a pathetic bowler...i hate you danish

 

[Sparhawk]

Yasir arafat, man of the moment comes into the attack. Can he get some reverse swing going?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Danish useless Kaneria is the SAMI of spin

 

[phoenix-suns]

Yuvraj is showing his frustration towards kaneria and sami. poor guys. Its BCCI's mistake he is not in the eleven, but kaneria and sami getting the spankings for that.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Time for a bowling change. Both these batsmen are getting too comfortable facing Sami and Kaneria

 

[phoenix-suns]

DUK is such a pathetic bowler...i hate you danish

DUK?

U for useless or somethign else?

 

[Big Daddy]

danish , sami , hameed and faisal should be replaced asap

 

[Sparhawk]

Danish useless Kaneria is the SAMI of spin

To be fair hes bowled really well today, unlucky not to have a wicket. Nothing like sami, sami's in a league of his own.

 

[phoenix-suns]

this guy arafat bowling action is more like waqar. slinging action. bowls around 140s like waqar.

 

[the true passionist]

Danish useless Kaneria is the SAMI of spin

He has bowled very well in this game..Generating two knicks from the batsmen.

Some of you guys dont even seem to be watching the game...or just expect him to be Warne.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib Akhtar in hospital to have a scan of his back - just heard this from Bruce Yardly

 

[the true passionist]

Akhtar is at the hospital for a scan...It is happening again.

 

[HIT64]

Shoaib is out of field...............

 

[Usman Chadda]

So now Younis is left with just three bowlers, one of whom can't bowl straight!

 

[Imy]

Shaoib is just such a liability, lets just not pick him this is getting rediclious

 

[Sparhawk]

So now Younis is left with just three bowlers, one of whom can't bowl straight!

Hed be better off bowling himself.

 

[161]

kaneria not fooling anyone ... wonder why rehman wasn't given a shot..

 

[Easa]

Some of the posters on this forum must be on drugs..

.. Kaneria has bowled very well without reward today.

 

[Imy]

They did no pick rehman cause he cant spin the ball

 

[Usman Chadda]

Arafat getting dealt harshly by Yuvraj now. This is breath-taking strokeplay! Demoralizing for the opposition

 

[phoenix-suns]

yuvraj is thrashing pakistan bowling..

the great arafat is getting spanked..

 

[phoenix-suns]

Guys go back to excuses...

Akthar is not 100 percent fit...

missing gul, asif, imran khan, miandad, etc.,

 

[Sparhawk]

Bruce yardley comparing yuvraj to lara. Unbelievable!!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Guys go back to excuses...

Akthar is not 100 percent fit...

missing gul, asif, imran khan, miandad, etc.,

Here is an advice: Shut up and just watch the game

 

[Usman Chadda]

George Binoy, our man at the ground, tells us: "Shoaib Akhtar was complaining about back pain and has been taken to hospital for an MRI scan"

Shouldn't be too much of a problem IMO. Just a precautionary scan

 

[phoenix-suns]

nothing wrong in that.. if not in test match, in ODIs yuvraj plays like lara used to play.. especially the way he lifts his bat...

 

[the true passionist]

Guys go back to excuses...

Akthar is not 100 percent fit...

missing gul, asif, imran khan, miandad, etc.,

did anyone make that excuse?

 

[phoenix-suns]

Here is an advice: Shut up and just watch the game

ha ha ha

I like it...

 

[the true passionist]

Ganguly on his best at Banglore..45
