How is the field setting at this moment. Is it defensive, are there any slips. Close catching or what?
 
Anyone who is wathing it live, can describe, how is shabbir bowling, his action and all.?
In the last odi, there were alot of ppl calling him a chucker, so just wana see if he has found his rythem back or is still chucking, or any news if he was ever called for chucking OFFCIALY after the last odi?
Thanks in advance.

looks a little smoother than the ODI
still think that he will be called for chucking real soon.
 
to be fair, Lara has not always been in control of hsi booming shots. However he is making our bowling attack look rather toothless.
 
Well at least going Vegas hasnt done anything to his batting. He can party all he wants he will still remain the same Brian Lara, the same genius Brian Lara

Shabbir merrily chucking away.....
 
If only hes done this in the ODI series against SA he wouldnt have been dropped any then we would have seen a more even contest in the Pak ODIs.

See the selectors "rested" him when it was clear he had been dropped for reasons off the cricket field. Now the selectors are gonna look like they got it right by choosing to "rest" him and now hes returned to form.
 
Hi all, hmm seems like its time for the Afridi. Shabbir seems to have lost it!
 
4 down the ground off Danni. Used his feet well there Lara
 
i think that this serves pakistan exaclty right
Goin in to a test match with 3 genuine bowlers( and 2 batting allrounders), Pakistan deserves not to win this match.
 
Pulled away for 4! Danish being taken to the cleaners!
 
Lara 78 of 69 balls. Someone tell him one days or over and this is just first day of 5 day test match!
 
can't blame YK too much, he has to the use the tools he has at his disposal.
 
something needs to be done...otherwise lara will have a century by the end of the day...YK needs to bring on shahid bhai...or try rana....anyone got any other ideas?
 
Razzaq replaces Shabbir. When will we see the beast?!
 
Younis should come on himself. He did get Sehwag remember when Sehwag was on the attack!
 
how many slips are there in place?....i read on cricnfo, lara edged and it went through vacant slip area...or did it go over the slips??
 
relax guys..any1 who didnt expect this from Lara is being silly..the man oozes class!!however a wicket or two here and we're in control..just have to get Lara out.inshallah we will..stop being negative and start supporting the boys!!...it aint over till the fat lady sings!!..and she aint even out of bed yet!!!
cmon boys !!..cmon Pakistan!!
 
he will be coming on from the other end, see YK thinks exactly like me, hehe
 
CMON PAKISTAN!!! CMON RAZZY...GET URE MAN....KNOCK HIS OFF STUMP OFF!!!!
 
looks like the windies are leaving kaneria to Lara..good strategy!!...but Lara will get out eventually..just watch...so will chanders!!..they have no batting after this pair!!

thats wats making it frustrating...all we need is these 2 wickets and WI shud be about for 250....but it all depends on WEN we get these 2 wickets.
 
Lara might be looking for another 300

to avenge for all those yrs he failed to get a test hundered against us
 
think about it even if he gets a 100 and then gets out we will still get them!!..they are a 1 man team!!...inshallah we will have him out soon!!!..we should try and put more pressure on chanders!!
 
no if he gets one here he'll have hundreds against all the test nations.
 
33.5 Danish Kaneria to Lara, no run, good ball, Lara forced back to
defend

shaabash dani boy..idhar rukh Lara ko!!
 
we need to gt a breakthrough now

the partnership is already a 100
 
Now we all know what a great Batsman Lara is... :)
....for those Pak fans who have not really seen him score much against us except the knock in the last VB series.

No need to panic... one man cannot beat a team by himself...
 
shiv on strike to dan...COME ON DAN ...GET URE MAN!!!
 
except when that one man is lara!!!...but look at chanders..the midget has been on 19 for ages!!...flippin one man team!!!..cmon guys get this guy out!!!
 
Shiv is playing well. It would be easy for him to try and match Lara in his scoring rate but he isnt and is playing second fiddle. Does mean that Pakistan can set more attacking fields when hes on strike
 
Lara has an average of 37 against Pakistan. His highest is 86 against SL
 
5.3 Danish Kaneria to Lara, no run, loud shout for a bat and pad as
ball ends up near gully but umpire Shepherd says no, sound was
from bat hitting the ground and he swept

see we need kaneria bowling more to shiv!!!...
 
Bring back Shoaib

Our pie chuckers are making a fool of themselves

And all that while i thought that lara's highest was 400* against England :)) :))
 
all we need to do is break this partnershit. They will fall like pebbles in a landslide after that......no worries.

And Khalil.......please don't turn this into another Shoab Akhtar thread. I'm sick of the site of his name.
 
Great 100 and by Lara of just 88 balls. Very well played at a crucial stage.
 
Seems like Lara is trying to start his second innings to get another 100.
 
well for me, YK definitely missed a trick by not getting afridi into the attack earlier, there shud have been a double change with razzaq and afridi on.
 
Shahid Afridi has been brought into the attack! The beast has been unleashed!
 
AFRIDI GOT DROPPED!!! - A chance in his VERY FIRST OVER - WHY wasn't he brought on earlier? :(
 
Someone wake up Yasir. Remember when he dropped Darvid. He said he was busy wathing him bat. I hope this is not the case here.
