[Smbhayi]

Heard that its raining today in London..

 

[MarkCooper]

Hahah we have had a month of dry, warm weather and as soon as the game day arrives it pisses it down.

 

[MenInG]

Clearing up from what I hear but let's see

 

[Bilal7]

I never realized that Lee was playing this match. The entertainment factor just went up by a few notches.

And yes y isnt Akram playing?

 

[MarkCooper]

Brian Lara just said on Sky he wishes he was born in England so he could play at Lords every week.

 

[Sam18696]

Toss time

 

[Sam18696]

ROW won the toss and will bat first

 

[Bilal7]

ROTW batting first. Who's ready to see Lee bowl?

 

[MarkCooper]

Sachin Tendulkar is such a gentleman. What a man.

 

[Bilal7]

Runners are allowed so Lara doesn't embarrass himself.

 

[Sam18696]

So Gilchrist and Sehwag will open

 

[zabalestmsm]

ROW won the toss and will bat first

How is the weather now?

 

[Sam18696]

How is the weather now?

Dark clouds all around

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Sold my tickets this morning. Not feeling great and others weren't prepared to go...

It seems like it's going to be an exhibition match so not exactly missing out on much!

 

[Convict]

Any live streaming?

Cricket Australia are streaming it.

Might only be for Australians

 

[Bilal7]

Haha. If this decision to bat first blows up in Warne's face, I can see Cook returning some favors! The experts agree.

 

[Bilal7]

Sachin's a great guy off the field. Taking his time to go motivate some children for no personal gain at all. Legend.

 

[Anchorman]

Who's televising it here in Pakistan? Please say Star Sports 4!

 

[zabalestmsm]

When is the match gonna start? In how much time?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Who's televising it here in Pakistan? Please say Star Sports 4!

Yes

 

[Bilal7]

Is the DRS in use and can the umpires report players for suspect actions?

 

[Bilal7]

Its starting!!

 

[Bilal7]

Gilchrist and Sehwag opening. Someone's gonna get a phainty!!

 

[Sam18696]

Brett Lee to bowl

 

[Sam18696]

2 runs

 

[Sam18696]

Gilchrist v Lee

 

[Alchemy]

Gilly and Sehwag on batting. Lee to bowl.

 

[Anchorman]

Loving the white kits.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Weather looks good now

 

[Bilal7]

Lee bowling at 70 mph. I am dissapoint.

 

[Alchemy]

Lee bowling those outswinngers.

 

[Alchemy]

Viru has no technique. Just like Rohit sharma.

 

[IAJ]

Looking forward to watch Gul and Ajmal and of course Afridi.

 

[Batman_DB]

feeling nostalgic

 

[Alchemy]

feeling nostalgic

Same here.

 

[Electron]

Sehwag batting like a tailender against the swing.

 

[Anchorman]

Lee with a barrage of out-swingers first up!

 

[Alchemy]

First ball and its a )

 

[Electron]

Umar Gul, first ball :4

 

[Anchorman]

Gully taking it easy on Gilly.

 

[Bilal7]

What is Gul doing? I know its a celebration match but don't give him gifts.

 

[Alchemy]

Very short run up, strangely.

 

[Sam18696]

:4 more

 

[Bilal7]

Come on Gul, crank it up. Sachin being a very friendly captain and that might cost him.

 

[zabalestmsm]

How is Gul bowling? :/

 

[Hawkeye]

So it seems they're TOLD to bowl SLOW... Lee bowling at 70mph, Gul also not going above 73mph..

And Gul making us proud with his poor bowling.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Gulli putting in zero effort.Secound boundary

 

[MarkCooper]

Why is Gul bowling 72 mph

 

[Anchorman]

Gully needs to at least give the illusion that he's trying here.

 

[Alchemy]

I think they are being told to bowl slow.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Either Gul is sleepy or fasting.

 

[Sam18696]

12-0

 

[Electron]

Sehwag will tuk one for a single.

 

[zabalestmsm]

What is Gul doing? I know its a celebration match but don't give him gifts.

Yes there shudnt be any gifts :/
We want a competitive match.

 

[Sam18696]

Lee to Sehwag :4

 

[Alchemy]

Viru finally gets something on the bat.

 

[Bilal7]

Why is Gul bowling 72 mph

Can't humiliate Gilchrist, especially when he's the one with the camera and supposed to bat through. Hope this changes very quickly otherwise this match will turn into a farce.

 

[Kwremb]

Why is everyone bowling at 70mph?

 

[Bilal7]

Either Gul is sleepy or fasting.

Prolly both. And being friendly.

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Sehwag middles one atlast. Next ball the same story.

 

[Energetic]

Definitely Cricket is fixed if pacers are being told to bowl slower. What a waste of buying a ticket.

 

[Sam18696]

:4

 

[Sam18696]

Lee now bowling 80 mph

 

[Bilal7]

Can't fault Gul though. It wouldn't make you look good if you're bowling bouncers at over 85 mph at an old man who retired years ago.

 

[Alchemy]

I think Lee has started bowling on normal speed? Has he?

 

[Anchorman]

Beautiful straight-drive by Viru.

 

[Kwremb]

I hope no one said to bowl slowly

 

[jeetu]

Finally Brett Lee's speed is touching 80's.

 

[zane_]

Let's see if Tait bowls slow. I doubt they are being told to bowl slow. The way Umar Gul is bowling makes it seem like he doesn't want to be there.

 

[Munna]

Lara still seems to be fit enough to play international cricket

 

[IAJ]

Gul to sehwag now
