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

[Gasherbrum]

mr hair ??? that one was very very close, reon king given not out ...

 

[Usman]

80.5 Abdul Razzaq to Edwards, (noball) one run, yet another no ball may
well be one of the top-scorers in the innings


I thing these guys have got a little to complacent in thinking West Indies are a piece of cake and that P akistan is the best team in the world

 

[pakistani pride]

Where is rana saab ??

 

[Gasherbrum]

well taken by akmal, reon king caught behind

 

[kasoo10]

One more gone.

 

[kasoo10]

Was it as good a delivery as the catch?

 

[Gasherbrum]

was shaping to play it away to leg, ball just left him after pitching, akmal diving low to his right to complete a neat dismissal for razzaq.

 

[bilal]

we. might get a few overs to bat today

 

[fair_play]

Damn!

I was hoping Kaneria would pick up at least 4 wickets in this innings. This is not going to help his bowling average!

 

[Usman]

so far we have given the Windies 38 free runs, I hope their kind enough to give us some as well!

 

[Gasherbrum]

there's still one to get, he might end up with three yet ...

 

[GamBiTT]

Even if just a couple of the the WI bowlers bowl well, I think this wicket has plenty to offer to them.

I have a haunch that Pakistan batsmen are going to struggle on this wicket which is offering some seam movement still. Younis Khan and Razzaq are my best bets atleast to be able to play well. Lets see.

 

[mumtaz]

bring on ranaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

 

[fair_play]

3-115 will look ok in the end.

Young kid - still learning. Or at least I hope so.

 

[pakistani pride]

i think we did well !

 

[kasoo10]

I would rather Razzy get this last wicket instead of DK. DK does not deserve it. He has not bowled so well.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

all out 345 windie fuiunny catch

 

[Gasherbrum]

weird one ~ kaneria gets his third, took almost 3 tires for that one to be caught by hameed

 

[kasoo10]

All out for 343. DK gets 3.

 

[Hash]

knowing our luck these two will end up putting on 150

 

[PakPassionate]

 

[fair_play]

How can you say that?

He has probably bowled about par by his standards. Its just that he came across Lara, the best batsman of his generation, and had no answer.

 

[Gasherbrum]

hit akmal's glove, bounced off 2nd slip and caught by hameed at first

 

[PakPassionate]

yes Good Job Pakistan!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

345 actually but lol dropped by keeper off second slips boot wobbily caught by 1st slip

 

[PakPassionate]

 

[MIG]

345 AO

WI do their usual - Lara does his usual 10 ball 100 - of no use to anyone but himself. 4 days of thos game to go !

 

[Usman]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! strange dismisal though!

 

[mumtaz]

i guess pak will bat for 4 overs

 

[bilal]

Thanks for the pics PP

 

[fair_play]

There we go!

Kaneria 3-114. Makes a fine comeback after being 1-00 off 19 overs. This kid always picks up a few wickets in the end.

 

[pakistani pride]

well we got 10 wickets in one day thats a good sign will pak come out to bat ? idont hope so !

 

[bilal]

Sooooo do we get to bat or is this it

 

[bilal]

well we got 10 wickets in one day thats a good sign will pak come out to bat ? idont hope so !

I hope so if we bat for 4 overs we can get a possible 120 runs

 

[mumtaz]

shud be for 4 overs

 

[Usman]

according to cricinfo pakistan will face 3 to 4 overs today

 

[Hash]

lets see.

Knock Kaneria all you want he picked up two vital wickets.


Had a bad day I accept that but typical Pakistani nature. One bad day and everyone becomes hysterical.

I don't like these instances when we have to come out and bat for 4 overs. Very dodgy. Especially when you have a fisherman like Hameed opening.

345 AO? we restricted them well. Good stuff Pak! We need to get to around 450 now.

 

[Gasherbrum]

bazid's day in the field, not bad for his first test, a dropped catch followed by one taken in the slip, another at cover, and an assist on a third catch off his boot.

 

[Farhad]

It's Lara's and Pakistan's day. We have done rather well. Feel happy for YK who must have been under a lot of stress at half-way stage in the day.

 

[PakPassionate]

Shahid Afridi and Butt to open

 

[Gasherbrum]

afridi walks in with salman butt ... manjrekar's prediction comes true and he sounds very excited. watch out rameez !!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol afridi is opening and butt is wit him lol manjrekar burns rameez raja ramiz thought it was not a good idea opening with afridi

 

[Hash]

hmmmmm. So Hameed at 3? Or even lower maybe? Interesting move by management.

 

[pakistani pride]

agree hash we shud get something around 450 plus

 

[yk]

WAT DID I SAY???!!!

SHAHID BHAI WILL OPEN!!! AND GUESS WAT???

SHAHID BHAI IS OPENING!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

first ball inside edge for 4 lucky

 

[Gasherbrum]

first ball - butt escapes narrowly, past his off stump almost inside edged ... wow 92.7 mph!!!

 

[PakPassionate]

Get ready for some fire work or just go sleep. Afridi in.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

92.7 mph wow1!!

 

[Usman]

a good idea to open with Afridi, leaves the middle order a bit bare?

 

[mumtaz]

man YK wants to keep us on the edge, go AFRIDI go!!

 

[mooz]

this guy is fast!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and now afridi comes on strike --prays to god--

 

[PakPassionate]

 

[Gasherbrum]

up for a challenge here, edwards has good pace

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

omg 94.1 mph bouncer

 

[Gasherbrum]

bouncer to start, hello mr afridi!

 

[Hash]

man this is a brave move by Younis Khan and Bob Woolmer!

Good on em I say!

 

[mooz]

is that speed gun accurate?
94 mph hot damn!

 

[bilal]

94.1 mph

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol he is trying to intimidate afridi

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

did u see that kiss afridi gave to the bowler dude followed by an edge HAHAHA

 

[Gasherbrum]

afridi off the mark with an edge that didn't carry to gully

 

[Hash]

I think he needs to realise that Pathans genetically don't get intimidated

 

[PakPassionate]

Afridi gave a kiss to Edwards LOL

 

[mooz]

nothing off the middle of the bat so far

 

[bilal]

2 misfields in the over

 

[mumtaz]

so afridi back on strike, i am really get tensed up now!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

uh a weird shot by afridi for 2 didnt get it off his bat...ew...cmon adridi

 

[Hash]

why is Afridi smiling in that pic?

 

[Gasherbrum]

afridi hoiks one towards midwicket, first ball from powell goes for 2 runs ...

 

[PakPassionate]

 

[bilal]

where you gettin these pics from PP?

 

[Gasherbrum]

afridi and edwards had a bit of a conversation, with afridi blowing him a kiss to end it all. thats why he's all smiles

 

[mooz]

speed gun must be messed up
not that edwards first ball didn't look superfast.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i thought he edged that for a moment there oooh really close

 

[PakPassionate]

why is Afridi smiling in that pic?

He is in love with Edwards

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[PakPassionate]
