offical thread - 1st test (day1) w.i v pak @ Barbados [26/5/05]

[Hash]

yasir too busy dreaming about chapattis perhaps

 

[Raz]

Im as perplexed as you DM!

 

[Usman]

Yasir has always dropped these dollies when we need them most. Sehwag and now Lara. Don't remind me what Sehwag did that time... Lets just hope that dosen't happen.

 

[Raz]

Whata scorching cover drive form Lara off Afridi! 4 runs all the way!

 

[MIG]

Pak will do the same as they did in India - lose the first match and win the second one - they are and remain slow starters...something BW needs to fix

westindies haven't put 200 on the board yet and u r talking about loosing ? ?

 

[Raz]

Even Danish is bowling no balls. What is going on?!

18 no balls in the innings!

 

[kasoo10]

MIG what did you have for breakfast. Why all this -ve?

 

[shan]

Even Danish is bowlnig no balls. What is going on?!

yasir shold have taken that catch

i think younis khan should have been there in slip

 

[Raz]

Lara with another 4! No chance of stopping that!

 

[the true passionist]

now even lara admiring his shots

 

[kasoo10]

Is Kaneeria bowling same end or what?

 

[shan]

there is nothing in the pitch

we just have to get lara

 

[kasoo10]

I have a feeling that this 100 was warm-up for Lara. He is going to score big as long as he gets stand on the other end.

 

[Raz]

Lara now just 280 runs away from beating his record!

 

[octavian]

Salam bhaiyo,

just came home to watch the match. What happened to YoYo? he got dropped ?

 

[Raz]

Wasalam octavian Lara with a HUGE six off Afridi. Hes having fun now! Yoyo's dad is ill and is going back to Pakistan

 

[tahaqureshi]

his dad is ill..so he's going back

 

[alghazzali]

I had a feeling this was gonna happen, Lara going crazy and the whole of pakpassio making crazy comments as usual

 

[Raz]

Danni get Lara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Raz]

Danni bowls Lara but it has been a gem of an innings from the master!

 

[mumtaz]

so how much that miss by yaser cost??

 

[MIG]

Yaar it was played at fast forward to please his records, he knows its the first day of a 5 day match - you want to see a gem of TEST innings - cast your mind back to YK and Inzi in Kolkatta - that is a test innings - played for the team...

 

[HAFRIDI]

woohooo lara gone!!! go dani boy

 

[Hydro]

well wenneed these 2 if we want to restrict them

 

[tahaqureshi]

so how much that miss by yaser cost??

130-109

 

[Raz]

I dont feel like watching nemore!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its that Afridi effect that Lara has had on me today with his blistering strokeplay

 

[tahaqureshi]

Gully brought in as well as 2 close fielders on either side

good captaincy by YK...applying pressure to new batsman from start

 

[mumtaz]

shud get a fast bowler on now before the tea break!!

 

[kasoo10]

Yaar it was played at fast forward to please his records, he knows its the first day of a 5 day match - you want to see a gem of TEST innings - cast your mind back to YK and Inzi in Kolkatta - that is a test innings - played for the team...

MIG is right here. In my openion this 130 will not cost too much to us. Do not see this as a match winner.

 

[AsimL8]

Prediction:
before this game is over, Afridi will make people forget Lara's innings!

 

[kasoo10]

Now it is upto Chanderpaul. Let us see what he can do.

 

[tahaqureshi]

minimum 40 overs remaining......can we still get a bat today????

 

[kasoo10]

Let us bring Rana and Shabbir in. Tail is not exposed, is it?

 

[Prince]

Is Afridi mixing it up??? i.e. bowling quicker ones, off-spin, etc?

 

[Raz]

He hasnt bowled his quicker one yet i dont think

 

[Raz]

Bazid Khan lets one go for 4

 

[tahaqureshi]

I think the west indies have scored at a rapid enough pace to ensure some sort of a result to this match

 

[pakistani pride]

Well this wicket is poor and i do not hope WI get a huge score cause that can be tough to chase

 

[Raz]

240-4 the latest score

 

[mumtaz]

Kaneria has been warned 2nd time and will not be able to bowl if he
runs on again

what is he doing??

 

[Raz]

Ball is seaming around for Rana. Good signs

 

[shabbu1]

hes been running on the pitch, so now hes bowling around the wicket...4 runs

 

[pakistani pride]

Whats that kind of BS or is he reaaly running on the wicket ?

 

[shoaib]

I've never been taken in by the hype surrounding Danish - he will never get you 3 or 4 quick wickets. Typical figure for Danish are 4-5 wickets for 150 runs - those kind of figures will rarely win you matches.

 

[Gasherbrum]

that was out! sheppard thought otherwise, as is the norm ...

 

[shabbu1]

Rana to Chanderpaul: Rana denied a very good shout there....

 

[pakistani pride]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! damn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shabbu1]

sorry i meant Hinds

 

[shan]

blind umpire here couldn't see plumb lbw

 

[whyhkk]

pakistan shoul drealize that we will rarely get lbws

 

[shabbu1]

if any of you guys want the audio link, here it is:

mms://stream.netro.ca/cdbi

copy and paste it into windows media player

 

[shan]

the good thing is rana getting swing

 

[whyhkk]

thanx

 

[ZM]

jus 1 quick wicket needed then i xpect the windies tail to falter
xpect a score below 300!!

 

[whyhkk]

HELLO

 

[kasoo10]

Cricinfo is not updating. Working for anyone?

 

[Gasherbrum]

brilliant in the field, first rana then akmal with the presence of mind, hinds was looking dangerous, runout team Pakistan!

 

[yk]

YES KAM!!! HINDS GONE ...RUN OUT!!!!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

263-5 is the latest after that runout.

 

[smoothcriminal]

KAMRAN RULES MAN GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND

 

[DM]

Kamran Kamran Kamran KAMRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

 

[DM]

come on guys keep posting!

 

[Team Slayer]

I will once again say this: Kamran is the best PURE keeper in teh world today (pure means batting is not considered).

well done!

 

[DM]

unsullied, raw

 

[Hash]

watch them fall like a bunch of school boys now

 

[whyhkk]

Rana with 7 no balls already

 

[Hash]

Team Slayer- he aint no mug with the bat either!

I think in time he will be the best wicket keeper-batsman in the world!

 

[Gasherbrum]

270-5 ~ Rana consistently around the 84-85 mph in that last over.

 

[yk]

Team Slayer- he aint no mug with the bat either!

I think in time he will be the best wicket keeper-batsman in the world!

yeah...once gilchrist retires

 

[Farhad]

Team Slayer- he aint no mug with the bat either!

I think in time he will be the best wicket keeper-batsman in the world!

At least not till Gilchrist and Sangakkara are playing the game.

 

[alghazzali]

even while they r playing, lets say another 5 years when Akmals at his peak, ull c wot our statements meant

 

[shabbu1]

hook for 4 by browne off Shabbir.

274-5

 

[Hash]

he is a better keepr than sangakkarra and will therefore be the better allround player than him. Give him 4-5 years. You will see.

 

[whyhkk]

Shouldnt YK rest the fast bowlers no so they can be ready when the new ball comes.

 

[kasoo10]

KA is a good keeper batsman but I still think he needs to improve his keepering a lot. I can not forgive him for missing those 2 stumps in the test against India.

He needs more time before I can change my openion about him.

 

[shabbu1]

31 extra's given by Pak in the innings already, Bob should of sorted this out!

 

[octavian]

Rana bowling his 100000th no ball of the day.

 

[kasoo10]

If we want to bat today than SC has to go. Or we will not get to bat before lunch tomorrow.

 

[shabbu1]

4, cover drive of Rana by Chanders
