[W63L35]

Uphill task faced by Pakistan.......hope they are up to the challenge!

Good luck!

 

[Desi]

we can hope...but hoping is dangerous

 

[pakistani]

MOYO is been quiet in this series but this test he will show INDIa why hes one of the best pakistan player

 

[kablooee87]

"It's not the despair. I can stand the despair. It's the hope."

 

[PlanetPakistan]

wow- look at the cracks on the pitch!

 

[CricketBuff]

Taking into consideration the state of the pitch it will almost certainly be 2-0

 

[qaiser]

it would be quite a challenge

 

[CricketBuff]

Who cares if it is 1-0 or 2-0, the series is already lost !!!!

 

[Hash]

Relax

we will go at 10 an over and score 900 runs today

then bowl India out for 25 tomorrow

simple. Series tied 1-1.

 

[Genghis]

irfan starting off proceedings ... need to make about 20 runs in this over to put us into the driving seat.

 

[CricketBuff]

Relax guys, just enjoy the game, the series is already lost, time for some centuries from MoYo and YK.

 

[Oxy]

88-1

 

[Genghis]

irfan starting off proceedings ... need to make about 20 runs in this over to put us into the driving seat.

damn ... only one run in that over ... I think we're playing for a draw!

 

[Oxy]

Terrible Running - Rameez wanted it to be runout!

 

[Plasma]

Lal says Sharma can bowl with pace...

and he starts off with a no ball

 

[Oxy]

Awful shot - play & miss by Butty

 

[W63L35]

damn ... only one run in that over ... I think we're playing for a draw!

Not according to Butt......

He thinks, Pakistan CAN NOT save this test match!

 

[Hash]

Terrible Running - Rameez wanted it to be runout!

I wish Ramiz would just migrate to India permanently and apply for an Indian passport

 

[Oxy]

Who is this bowler - never seen him before?

 

[Hash]

Who is this bowler - never seen him before?

Sharma. Ishant Sharma.

He is the next Imran Khan.

 

[Boys_played_well]

Ummm....does anyone else think Ishant Sharma is chucking BIG time? Looks like he is throwing darts pretty much!! That slo mo reply was scary!

Anyone else see this or am i crazy?

 

[kablooee87]

Not according to Butt......

He thinks, Pakistan CAN NOT save this test match!

I only read the headline but since when does "Match bachana mushqil hai" mean "They CAN NOT save the match."

 

[Oxy]

Boundary through 3rd man for Butt

 

[Oxy]

'Thats Yuvraj Singh' - just incase you didnt know ...... thanks Arun

 

[Oxy]

Lovely coverdrive by Butt for 4

98-1

 

[Asim2Good]

Relax

we will go at 10 an over and score 900 runs today

then bowl India out for 25 tomorrow

simple. Series tied 1-1.

please give Pak another 14 runs so we can hit 1000 runs

 

[Genghis]

a couple of boundaries to Butt ... thats more like it!!!

 

[Hash]

Butt shows his class with an absolutely magnificent shot for four. What a great batsman he is.

Asim- Misbah will get out 'hit the ball twice' so we will miss out on the remaining 14 runs

 

[kablooee87]

typical Salman Butt boundary for 4.

 

[Asim2Good]

I only read the headline but since when does "Match bachana mushqil hai" mean "They CAN NOT save the match."

that means " it's difficult to save match"

 

[Oxy]

YK brings up the 100 for Pak - straight drive for 4

 

[Oxy]

Pak racing to 107-1

 

[Oxy]

Arafat finished with 5 wkts???

 

[kablooee87]

straight drive for 4.

 

[Oxy]

Yk steers one square for 4.

Big over so far

 

[Hash]

Only 319 runs to avoid the follow on

 

[Plasma]

5 runs!! yay!!

 

[the true passionist]

4 by Younis...and the crowd is dead silent....They cheered every Indian single as it was a boundary!

 

[W63L35]

13 runs in this over...50 partnership.....111/1

 

[kablooee87]

Arafat finished with 5 wkts???

did you not follow yesterday's play at all?

 

[slix10]

'Thats Yuvraj Singh' - just incase you didnt know ...... thanks Arun

Why is he so obsessed with that guy

 

[Plasma]

Arafat finished with 5 wkts???

Yes he did, he got one in the morning yesterday and one near closing for his 5th

 

[Oxy]

Jeez!!! Irfan Pathan got a hundred!! What madness took place yesterday???

 

[Hash]

I think that Pakistan were slightly undercooked

 

[Boys_played_well]

4 by Younis...and the crowd is dead silent....They cheered every Indian single as it was a boundary!

How dare the crowd support the home team!

 

[Genghis]

Sami bowling a great line ... whoops I mean Sharma bowling a great line!!! 13 runs coming off his over!

 

[Oxy]

did you not follow yesterday's play at all?

Not a ball! Was watching the boxing then long sleep...then sons birthday & party etc etc.

Totally forgot there was any cricket.

Bloody hell - Pathan.....gets a hunddred against us!! Cant believe that

 

[Plasma]

111-1 lets make it 444-4 today.

 

[Oxy]

Rameez pleads with Rudi to give that LBW.

 

[Caved12]

i think that was plumb lbw LOL

 

[kablooee87]

Yea me neither. Then again it was probably the easiest circumstances anyone could ask for to try and get a hundred.

 

[Oxy]

No offence to Rammez & his fan club, but his comments are seriously ruining my viewing pleasure.

I going to send him a solid silver chamcha for Eid

 

[kablooee87]

There was definitely as inside edge. Two sounds.

 

[CricketBuff]

Rameez was such a mediocre batsman but he is proving to be an excellent a**-kisser.

 

[the true passionist]

i think that was plumb lbw LOL

this very shout with no shot offered was given not out against Karthik by Rudi.

 

[Oxy]

Looking at Rameez these days - I bet he has the 'Nimbus TV' logo tattooed on his ar5e...

 

[W63L35]

i think that was plumb lbw LOL

You can tell by Arunlal's whining....right?

 

[kablooee87]

No offence to Rammez & his fan club, but his comments are seriously ruining my viewing pleasure.

actually an interesting thing happened last test match.

I was watching the match on my laptop using headphones.

After lunch, I only put on one of the headphones in my ear and realized that all the sounds of the game were present in the left speaker....except the commentary. It was brilliant. I enjoyed that session so much. Got to watch cricket without annoying commentary ruining the experience but still got to enjoy the sounds of the game.

 

[Oxy]

There was definitely as inside edge. Two sounds.

Snicko says 3 sounds!!!

Rameez - stick that in your pipe!

 

[W63L35]

There was definitely as inside edge. Two sounds.

Snicko-meter showed THREE sounds!

 

[khalidali7070]

Rameez was such a mediocre batsman but he is proving to be an excellent a**-kisser.

Did you not notice the browness on his face! i bet he be telling arun "saaf to karliya karoo na plz"

 

[Oxy]

I think Arun Lal just proposed to Rameez Raja.

I mean, Rameez called him a 'great cricketer - and great commentator' - so now we know what low standards Ramaeez operates by...

 

[W63L35]

excellent 44444 by Butt to Irfan!

 

[Hash]

glorious defence from Salman Butt

what a glorious batsman he is.

 

[Oxy]

Perhaps there cold be some 'Indo-Pak' unity and a joint atomic bomb could be released on the commentary box....now?

 

[W63L35]

Session Run Rate .......4.29!!! Excellent!

 

[the true passionist]

a nice slap at Pathan's bowl.

This guy looking good again..Hopefully he scores big this time.

 

[Oxy]

Was that kid in the crowd with the red cap Partiv PAtel?

 

[khalidali7070]

The next tie arun will be wearing will have rameez's pics on it.

 

[Oxy]

I know - we'll set a trap for YK to play the hook shot.

 

[W63L35]

Younis tries his BEST to get out by trying to pull - just like 1st innings at Delhi!

 

[Oxy]

The next tie arun will be wearing will have rameez's pics on it.

LOL!!!

 

[Hash]

we need someone to get a double hundred and someone else to get a big hundred and a couple of 50s

I'd love it if Butt got a double or even a triple. Come to think of it, why not just break Lara's record?

 

[the true passionist]

Session Run Rate .......4.29!!! Excellent!

Can they keep it up when the spinners bowl...not as high as this but around 3.5

 

[Hash]

Younis tries his BEST to get out by trying to pull - just like 1st innings at Delhi!

He must have mistaken the ball for DNA's face

 

[McBoom]

thank God Arun is out of the commentary box

 

[Dhonifan]

Sharma and Pathan don't look capable of taking ONE wkt, forget 10!

 

[khalidali7070]

He must have mistaken the ball for DNA's face

 

[Genghis]

Hash ... I see you are writing in to Cricinfo and selling our ever so reliable Bhanja.

Hash Ahmed: "Instead of Iqbal Siddiqi you could always just take Faisal Iqbal from us. Honestly, you're welcome to him. Give him Indian citizenship. I'm sure you would love to have him in your side." Ah! Faisal played Warne so well, I remember, in the Colombo Test. Let's see how he goes here. Not many Pakistan fans, it appears, want him in the side. Many of you have written in about Asim Kamal.

 

[Zechariah]

Was just looking at cricinfo live scorecard: this caught my eye LOL
