Official 2nd Test, Day 3 scorecard and discussion thread [18/03/05]

[Raz]

Exactly its time for Sami to get some!

 

[mumtaz]

sachin wasting time

 

[Amjid Javed]

Amjid u were saying!

am happy if he takes 5 wickets.... its about bloody time....

his average was hitting the 50 mark... D D

 

[badxhah]

Khalil shoud now be replaced

 

[Hydro]

maiden for sami

sami got his confidence bak

 

[Hydro]

D Kaneria brought into the attack now

 

[ataullah]

that was a beauty over from sami

 

[Hydro]

tendy finally off the mark

 

[Raz]

first 4 off Sami

 

[Hydro]

4 off samis last ball

 

[Oxy]

Khalil-big disappointment in both inngs.

 

[ataullah]

we need a quick wicket

 

[ataullah]

Khalil-big disappointment in both inngs.

Nothing was expected of him |-Q

 

[Raz]

If Rana isnt fit for the next test i think they should seriously consider calling another pacer from Pakistan. Khalil has bowled pies in the 2nd innings!

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan need 4 wkts @ least in final session

khalil was bobs personal pick over irshad/s nazir.. but no1 will blame bob as he knows it all.....

 

[Raz]

Thats because Khalil bowled really well in the VB series. I dont have anything against him being included in the squad, he deserved his place.

He has however bowled very poorly in the Indian second innings.

 

[Raz]

Shahid on after tea!

 

[Amjid Javed]

khalils not even best left armer in pakistan.

 

[Raz]

Thats not the point Amjid!

 

[Raz]

That was close!!!!!!!

 

[Raz]

That would have been an easy catch for 3rd slip!

 

[MIG]

pakistan need 4 wkts @ least in final session

khalil was bobs personal pick over irshad/s nazir.. but no1 will blame bob as he knows it all.....

AJ - you are getting too predicatable , try a new line of attack or just go round the wicket into the pad - defensive !

 

[Raz]

D D D D D D D

 

[DM]

I'm back after a day's absence!

GREAT TO SEE SAMI GETTING JUST REWARDS!!! ) :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


But Khalil's inclusion remains a mystery. Irshad, Yasir Ali should have been automatics.


GO PAKISTAN!!!!!

 

[Raz]

I doubt Khalil will bowl again, unless he improves his line!

 

[Raz]

Shahid needs a short leg in place. Easy single available for Dravid and Tendu on the leg side.

 

[Amjid Javed]

india building a lead to fast... to many buffet balls..

 

[Raz]

Steady over from Khalil.

 

[tahaqureshi]

i think now, khalil apart, we have a relatively strong bowling attack

 

[tahaqureshi]

khalil swinging the ball according to text commentary

 

[Raz]

Not that much still giving away the odd boundary.

 

[badxhah]

Khalil is giving boundary balls every over

 

[tahaqureshi]

kaneria only 5 runs given in 4 overs...2 maidens!

he needs to build up the pressure with razzaq bowling from the other end..because razzaq strikes when the batsmen are bottled up

 

[badxhah]

Inzy gone to sleep here ,,,, Keepin Khalil on here ,,,,

 

[tahaqureshi]

tendy has got 3 bottom edges in last 2 khalil overs...khalil should get him out...just one edge and straight to the hands at gully/slips

 

[tahaqureshi]

rajjaq bai into the attack

 

[MIG]

Ok good combo - kan and raz....keep it tight - no wickets no problem as the runs dont flow...

Looks to me that the time to score for both teams has been when the ball is new - there is a lesson for Pak... once the ball is old , then both teams have lost wickets quick...

 

[tahaqureshi]

nedian, wat is ur name?

 

[the true passionist]

khalil was goin for runs....but might have got dulkar
bcs he was bowling across...nd dulkar was lookin 2 score

 

[Khalil]

runs are coming too fast.

I think that our bowlers should start bowling negatively for a while until the ball gets old and scuffed

 

[the true passionist]

pak needs a couple here...probably from kaneria to give him the confidene

 

[tahaqureshi]

every time kaneria comes around the wicket..he starts troubling batsmen, is that his stock delivery, coming around the wicket?

 

[tahaqureshi]

3 consecutive maidens

 

[Khalil]

24.4 Danish Kaneria to Tendulkar, no run, turning in sharply, Tendulkar
offers no shot, ball hits the back pad


As the ball gets old its beginning to spin

 

[nedian21]

nedian, wat is ur name?

Noman Sattar

 

[MIG]

every time kaneria comes around the wicket..he starts troubling batsmen, is that his stock delivery, coming around the wicket?

thats what normal people would say - not Aamir Sohail on TV now - says Pak being too negative - which game is he watching ?

 

[nedian21]

i wish they wud have played Arshad instead of Khalil

 

[tahaqureshi]

mke too...nedian, whats ur name?

 

[MIG]

dravid hit on the back

Aamir Sohail is getting on my nerves - he is the man you see sitting in the stands with u, loud voice and repeating one nonsense remark after another - I can see the value of Arun Laal here..

 

[tahaqureshi]

ok thx

 

[badxhah]

And he has a whole thread to his name taht pplz love his commentary

 

[the true passionist]

positive play by indians...
pakistan lacked it today..

 

[tahaqureshi]

guyz, iv heard that umar kureishi is taufeeq umar's dad..is there any truth to this..many ppl iv asked say its 200% true

 

[MIG]

And he has a whole thread to his name taht pplz love his commentary

must be WWF fans...

 

[umerz]

yaar the way Dravid and TEndy are playing mujh ko to mushkil lug rah ahai

 

[Cartman]

Thats why he has lost all his hair.

Her wailey bakwas tey baad ich sir ich juttian khanda eh!

Litter kha kha kai usskey ball ghayab ho gaye hein..

Now he looks and talks like any other normal Indian

 

[Flirta-P]

Hes funny man the was he just takes the **** out of everything maybe hes right though maybe we could be a bit more attacking.

 

[the true passionist]

india running away with the show

 

[Raz]

Get Shahid on. We need to break this partnership!

 

[MIG]

The Dravid has no The Problem with the light as The Tendulkar has the..... [Aamir Sohail....]

 

[Cartman]

Raz is swinging it like we used to back in the 60s.. Groovy man..

 

[Flirta-P]

Didn't get one bit of that you should challange adi to a match too.

 

[Amjid Javed]

50 for sachin, dravid not far behind...pakistan head to defeat.

 

[tahaqureshi]

samrt thinking by inzi, bringing on our fastest bowler when there is bad light..just might work..pray to Allah..the boys really deserve a wicket..

 

[Cartman]

When Tunda was standing next to Zaheer he kinda looked like my grandma. Except with the helmet........... and Pads.............. and whites................

my grandma used to hold a bat just like that!

 

[badxhah]

i dont get it if he cant see the ball wat the purpose of playin

 

[Flirta-P]

Lol thats a bit early to say that dont u think. This match can go either way. If these two go india aint really got much batting left, they usually crumble even it they have.

 

[tahaqureshi]

stupid tendy talking about light to umpires..i hope bucknor says CONTINUE PLAY

 

[Raz]

Tendu gone!

 

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Raz]

Bucknor screws the Indians again!

 

[Khalil]

It's time for some bouncers from Sami

When are the umps going to use the light meter

 

[tahaqureshi]

chance for us again...! we need to get these last few out!

 

[Cornered Tiger]

Are you guys serious? Is Tendy out?

 

[badxhah]

Oh My god ,,,,, if Bucknor can make it alive out of india he must get a noble prize...

 

[nufc]

ye, shocking decison!

 

[Flirta-P]

Did razzaq get him again?

 

[tahaqureshi]

Nobody, nobody except Razzaq appealed, this is outrageous
There is not even and appeal and Bucknor who harbours ill will against India makes it clear yet again, what a stupid old man he is.
Razzaq to Tendulkar, out Caught by Akmal!!, ball moving out, Sachin plays a bit far from his body, the ball is inches away from the bat, there is no appeal from the behind, only Razzaq appeals and we just dont have words for Steve Bucknor, we just hope he never officates again, Sachin is aghast
31.2 Razzaq to Tendulkar, THATS OUT!! Caught!!


indian commentry! lol D

 

[Cornered Tiger]

Happens. We got the rough end of the stick in the last match. Tendy was lucky then and went on to add another 80 odd runs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

well done razzaq....shame on sachin... got what he deserved!
