Official commentary thread - india v pakistan (day 2) [8/03/05]

[feather]

inzi n rana havin a lil chat

 

[KB]

Don't give Sehwag any width. He's a lethal weapon.

 

[feather]

yep seems like rana has just done that

 

[Amjid Javed]

rana getting a pasting already.... c r a p buffet bowling!

 

[Raz]

Sami bowling in mid to late 80's

 

[alghazzali]

Ranas started off badly

 

[badxhah]

no movement watsever by both bowlers on favaorable bowling condiotions

 

[feather]

Amjid be patient yaar

 

[Amjid Javed]

sadly with injurys etc... where having 2 open bowling with rana who isnt a new ball test bowler!

 

[MIG]

Raja says "surprisingly" not swung for Pakistan - same old story !!

 

[KA$H]

its a bit quick to write off the openin bolwers

bloody poor feilding i gotta say

 

[feather]

well sami has got a smile on his face so he is enjoying himself...inzi had a little talk with rana so I am hoping he won't give width to sehwag anymore..

 

[Raz]

Sehwag dropped by Taufeeq!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[alghazzali]

If you r 2 tense the ball wont swing, u need 2 b relaxed and Sehwag isnt helping

 

[Raz]

Disgraceful! Lady luck not with Sami yet again!

 

[alghazzali]

Not again

 

[feather]

**** that messed up!!!!!!!!!!!1

now this isn't sami's fault at all and he got hit for 4 he seems upset now...damn I feel bad for him he is always unlucky

 

[Amjid Javed]

what a stupid drop... how much is that gona cost!

 

[alghazzali]

for fucks sake

 

[alghazzali]

Y dont we just have no field.

 

[Khalil]

monkey face

4.4 Mohammad Sami to Sehwag, no run, DROPPED! edged and dropped by
Taufeeq Umar at third slip, was a fairly easy chance, costly miss

Just where do our selectors pick up these useless idiots!

 

[Amjid Javed]

flying start for india

India 27/0 (5.2 ov)

 

[Raz]

|-F |-F |-F |-F |-F |-F

 

[feather]

rana not bowling to his field and no swing for him either

 

[feather]

we need few quick wickets here or least the wicket of sehwag in next few overs

 

[zulfiqar]

Sami i think has gained a bit of confidence from atleast getting the edge from sehwag.. he'll come back!

 

[Raz]

Sehwag treating Sami with respect and rightly so!

 

[MIG]

Now I understand why Amjid wanted rain to come back !!

 

[Amjid Javed]

rana was outbowled by riaz afridi v sri lanka, yet rana was still retained

guy shudnt even be in test side.... what a bollox display thus far!

 

[MIG]

Now when people complain about Sami - pls remember this dropped catch!

 

[safehands46]

I officially hate stupid taufeeq and salman both are crap fielders. They countinue to bowl short on the off. they have to step up.

 

[Raz]

No ball cracked for 4!

 

[Amjid Javed]

at current rate india india will have 250+ by close of play!

 

[feather]

Now when people complain about Sami - pls remember this dropped catch!

exactly MIG

plus lets not jump on rana I haven't forgot abt a gazillion threads abt him either!!

 

[Raz]

Ive got a feeling that dropped catch is going to prove very costly!

 

[badxhah]

its not the boundries its also good running b.w the wicket also

 

[MIG]

No bouncers from Pak yet to test Ghambir ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest

India 42/0 (7.0 ov)

r.p.o = 6 ***!

 

[MIG]

Sehwag is also middling the ball so well...

 

[feather]

well there you have it MIG rana hears you!

good save by yoyo

 

[Raz]

Rana smashed for six over point boundary by yes you guessed it Sehwag!

 

[zulfiqar]

vry crap bowling.. what the hell was that?? wide and xtremely short... wow he's not shoaib akhtar wth is he doing

 

[zulfiqar]

very soon i will start rooting for sehwag (as long as sami isn't bowling)

 

[feather]

seems like the indians want to attack our bowlers to put some pressure for the rest of the series...

yoyo saves another one...possible chance for a run out missed

 

[safehands46]

we need rain and we need it bad.

 

[waquas_uk]

2 fours in a row

 

[nafajafam]

any swing for pakistani bowlers?

 

[Raz]

Ghambir getting into the act now!

 

[feather]

this is not our day at all!!

 

[Raz]

Hardly any swing for the bowlers! Just shows how badly we're missing Shoaib

 

[zulfiqar]

first half belonged to us with the rain and all...

 

[waquas_uk]

razzaq bought in

 

[Amjid Javed]

latest --> India 60/0 (8.5 ov)

pathetic cannon fodder bowling!

 

[Raz]

Why do the commentators keep saying that Sehwag was dropped off Rana. It was Sami!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[feather]

well least amjid don't go and attack inzi for not setting attacking fields because this is what he has been doing and brings in razzaq to probably pick up a wicket.

 

[nafajafam]

i hope he generates some movement

 

[feather]

razzaq lookin much better...hopefully he can slow down the run flow

 

[badxhah]

both bowlers made a huge mistake goin for pace rather cutting the pace and concentarting on swing

 

[feather]

good over by razzaq only 2 coming of it.

 

[zulfiqar]

danish alraedy.... wat the..

 

[Amjid Javed]

India 61/0 (10.0 ov)

good start by razzaq

 

[feather]

both bowlers made a huge mistake goin for pace rather cutting the pace and concentarting on swing

did they come and tell you?

 

[waquas_uk]

danish on now instead of sami

 

[Raz]

Double bowling change. Danish brought in the 11th over!

 

[badxhah]

all bowlers used in first 10 overs

 

[MIG]

I feel bad for the closein fielders....

 

[feather]

inzi showing faith in danish

 

[feather]

tea is abt to be taken and inzi still attacking..his having a lil chat with dani as well

 

[MIG]

India 61/0 (10.0 ov)

good start by razzaq

Its come to that AJ, you are praising Razzaq in a Test Match !!!

 

[nafajafam]

ideal seaming conditions wasted by rana and sami. is it gonna help wrist spin?

 

[Raz]

I love hearing Kamran behind the stumps when Danish is bowling! Dont ask me why!

 

[Amjid Javed]

kaneria getting hammered aswell

 

[Officer Barbrady]

from TNS, "Aye haye Oye Howay"

D

 

[Raz]

Session well and truely India's. May have been different had it not been for that DROPPED CATCH!

 

[feather]

Amjid hardly seems like that...it was a good over as he couldn't really pick danish again.

Danish seems like a very attacking bowler was invited him to go after him..

 

[nafajafam]

think india will be in a comfortable position at the end of todays play. maybe kaneria was taken by surprise at bowling so early, forgotten his game plan

 

[Amjid Javed]

tea day 2

India 67/0 (11.0 ov)

india will get 500+ here with ease

 

[feather]

india will get 500+ here with ease

a true Pakistani supporter you are and finally being optimistic!

 

[zulfiqar]

Teabreak.. mayb i shud sleep but thena gain, watching sehwag bat is actually pretty fun to be honest. one of my fav from indian team. Danish bowling was interseting although razzaq...

 

[MIG]

Amjid hardly seems like that...it was a good over as he couldn't really pick danish again.

Danish seems like a very attacking bowler was invited him to go after him..

Problem is that he is now in a one day situation - he cant attack cos we have so few runs on the board and the current rate is such that Inzi will be happy to slow down the run rate - forget about attacking !!
