sorry to disappoint you but we cant kick indian ass without our lynch-pin, nay our "back-bone". maybe next year!

 

[MecnunK]

2 off the over..balaji bowled a good one to younis..

 

[Naveed]

Brilliant running

 

[octavian]

Salam all,

Should be agood day for Pak, really looking forward to a double hundered by one of these.

 

[MecnunK]

what's younis and yoyo's highest scores ever? I think YK is 138 or 140.Anyone know?

 

[octavian]

highest for YK is 153 against WI

highest for Yoyo is 204 against BD

 

[kasoo10]

YK's highest is 153, 144 in ODIs. And YY's is 204* (star means not out) and in ODIs it is 141*.

 

[MecnunK]

cheers oct. damn cricinfo is stuck..

 

[MecnunK]

thanks for explainig the star, lets hope he still has a star at end of today

 

[MecnunK]

damn.. yoyo..sad way to go but well batted.

 

[Naveed]

yeah that was a sad way to go

 

[kasoo10]

You are welcome Mec. It was more out of pride then anything else.

 

[octavian]

dodgy decision by hair. Ball was on the high side. Well played Yoyo tho

 

[Naveed]

IT was too close for Yoyo to leave it alone

 

[sajjad]

bad start by pak
bad decision too

now the CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN are out there
lets see how they perform

 

[sajjad]

he shud have offered a stroke
but it wasnt hitting the wkt
too high

so it shudnt have been given out

 

[Guest]

terrible decision. whatever happened to the benefit of the doubt???

 

[octavian]

Man this indian WK is annoying. screams like something i donno what

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man that was too high altho *** offer a shot man...but i feel for him and hopefully this doesnt dent us too much

 

[CrickFan]

Yunis has to play a big innings now ..may be a double century ... that should seal 2 things ..his place in the side ..and captaincy post Inzy ..C'mon Yunis ..this could be your defining moment ..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea hopefully younis does well he hit a nice four to the third man area goo younis

 

[MecnunK]

come'on Pak!! consolidate!!

 

[Guest]

Yunis has to play a big innings now ..may be a double century ... that should seal 2 things ..his place in the side ..and captaincy post Inzy ..C'mon Yunis ..this could be your defining moment ..

captaincy for making a double century? hmm... :-^

 

[Naveed]

Man this indian WK is annoying. screams like something i donno what

He's not a very good wk either

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hes the best wk india has got and he isnt that bad just seems to be under pressure

 

[Guest]

Man this indian WK is annoying. screams like something i donno what

just wait till Kumble starts to bowl. he sounds MUCH worse when appealing.

 

[sajjad]

not much assurance in the batting

lets see how they settle in now

 

[Naveed]

hes the best wk india has got and he isnt that bad just seems to be under pressure

I don;t think that he's the best fielding wk they have

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I think bhajji sounds constipated while appealing i dont seem to mind kumble's

 

[sajjad]

balaji bowling with a lot of heart out there

 

[CrickFan]

Today's play may decide the series ..if Pakistan can bat all day along ....Indian's will be a weary lot ..when they come to bat ..This series has shades of the India Australia historic encounter in India ..when India came from behind to beat the Aussies .. Pakistan can do the same to India

 

[MecnunK]

Inzy!! move those fat feet of yours...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea inzi seems a lil edgey lol ravi saying izi has a heavy bat and rameez just sayin inzi is heavy not his bat

 

[sajjad]

we have to somehow see of balaji without losing a wkt
then itll be smooth sailing
spinners not doing much

 

[the true passionist]

these 2 shud look 2 bat till the lead starts

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well in the pitch report they were saying it should have something for the spinners anyway as we speak the 300 is up! good shot inzi

 

[CrickFan]

Yunis has to play a big innings now ..may be a double century ... that should seal 2 things ..his place in the side ..and captaincy post Inzy ..C'mon Yunis ..this could be your defining moment ..

captaincy for making a double century? hmm... :-^

Salaam ATYS : yep ..he too will be exorcising his demons ...and proving to his critics and to himself that he can be the stand up guy if required ..There is no other alternative to Yunis post inzy ..just as there is no real alternative to Inzy today

 

[MecnunK]

They need to really.Once Inzy gets his eye in and settles, there could be a massacre..

 

[sajjad]

keep milking away those runs
we need to get rid of the deficit ASAP

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

as soon as the alloo's settle in his stomach his digestion of runs starts

I agree with everything you say. I just dont think a double century should "seal" his place as future captain.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no...A TRIPLE CENTURY WILL!!

 

[sajjad]

6 off the over

keep it up pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oo kaif this could be cool now he is my fav playa on the indian team interesting..

 

[Naveed]

oo kaif this could be cool now he is my fav playa on the indian team interesting..

He should be in there ahead of Laxman

 

[MecnunK]

good to see or read even... inzy is looking for quick singles..

 

[badxhah]

Score plz

 

[sajjad]

balaji off cause he was feeling the heat
pakistan shud capitalize by scoring slowly but without risk

 

[badxhah]

Yeh Balaji Hamaray Liye Azaab Ban Gaya hai

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wow bhajji is gettin raped keep it up guyz nice shot younis

 

[Khalil]

The quick singles will come to an end

 

[MecnunK]

lead less than 100 now and inzy looking is decent touch..inshallah a century from him today..

 

[sajjad]

10 off the over
lead only 90 now
shabaash pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea did u just see that magnificent shot form inzi against pathan just now he is looking in amazing form

 

[the true passionist]

pakistan batting sensibly...
taking runs of the spinners..
negotiating Pathan...who is bowling well

 

[Amir_rulez]

Those of you following game on net, try cricbuzz.com
Its way ahead of cricinfo .

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pathan is gonna be a worry as soon as the new ball is taken

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

8 runs off the over good job guyz

 

[sajjad]

another nice over
no risk
just easy runs

 

[the true passionist]

Those of you following game on net, try cricbuzz.com
Its way ahead of cricinfo .

cricbuzz looking good...
perhaps less busy servers

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

agaya kumble yeh bhi pittay ga dekhtay raho

 

[MecnunK]

I am on three different live score sites and they all slow..

wait... I think I beging to see my problem..

 

[the true passionist]

inzi such a good player...
took pressure off YKhan...who was getting into a shell....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

whoa!! *** was that younis almost hit the stumps phew...

 

[Amir_rulez]

Kumble on attack. Inzi , let Younis face him!
Im sure Inzi is prepared for Kumble this time....but y take a risk when YK playing him well.

 

[sajjad]

kumble bowling the first over well
need to be careful here

 

[MecnunK]

well the sher of multan is not gona back down from a hijda!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

new ball is now avail will have to see when ganduly will take the ball

 

[Khalil]

Inzi getting boundaries very easily.

No need for quick singles

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

The Pakistani's are doing the smart thing not risking singles with Kaif fielding in the covers

 

[sajjad]

lead is down to 80

 

[sajjad]

these guys playing sensibly here
taking the singles and playing the ball according to merit

 

[MecnunK]

we are being cheated here ...yuvraj was 12th man not f****ing kaif... right?

 

[sajjad]

need to keep playing like this and by lunch the scores will be level.

hope these 2 r there at that time

 

[the true passionist]

i'm not sure about Inzi's fitness..
Hope he remains fit...
We need him in the center.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think u can be in the 14 ppl in the team and field and yuvraj is gone anyway because of his punjab semi final

 

[sajjad]

forget abt that man
lets beat them no matter what

right now they just need to survive out there

 

[Cartman]

Inzi is not hundred percent but he is a fighter. You go inzi boy!!!
