[The_Cricket_Devil]

slower full toss by shoaib akhtar but that is dispatched for 4 horrible delivery

 

[the true passionist]

shoaib akhtar back over the wkt

don't think a very good move...but will bring the lbw in play.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Another four by Yuvraj.

India - 125/4

That target of 245 looks so close now.

 

[adeem_as]

India to make 400. Pak would lose this for sure

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

125-4 now India looking in a much better position now

 

[Oxy]

Doesnt seen to be any 'swing' in the air-pitch looks quite flatttened also.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 bouncer gets yuvi onto his knees superb bowl

 

[Usman Chadda]

Relax man!

Its frustrating to see half of Ganguly's runs coming in that region.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yuvraj mustve wet his pants in that one

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

end of the over 125-4

 

[Waseem]

Shoaib will ONLY fire if a wicket falls (even if Asif takes one), he will go for more and more runs because he is getting frustrated.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India to make 400. Pak would lose this for sure

What kind of a fan are you? A match isn't over until the last ball so its stupid to make such immature predictions.

 

[MIG]

"What's the man without the plan B" ..... YK - do something man !!!

 

[the true passionist]

i think instead of Razaq, YKhan should bring Afridi/Kaneria on..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Abdul Razzaq back onto bowl now replacing asif

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by ganguly right off

129-4 india

 

[Usman Chadda]

Razzaq on....and gets smacked for a boundary first up! Ganguly onto 33 now.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ganguly focussing very well here a good leave there

 

[MIG]

i think instead of Razaq, YKhan should bring Afridi/Kaneria on..

Razzaq always gets us wickets against the run of play - the ball will also reverse at some point so YK doing the right thing here ...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

RR is 5.06 now as well

 

[Waseem]

FEAR FEAR....mighty Razzaq into bowl.

 

[Usman Chadda]

i think instead of Razaq, YKhan should bring Afridi/Kaneria on..

The seamers will get a lot more chance to pick up a wicket in the first hour. Afridi/Kaneria should be on just before lunch or so.

India - 129/4

Partnership 73 runs from 82 balls.

 

[Oxy]

I reads/heard that Ganguly was NOT retained for the ODI series...so he has a few points to prove to Chappel & co.

 

[the true passionist]

FEAR FEAR....mighty Razzaq into bowl.

) )

 

[MIG]

Razzaq settling down ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

uh psychological appeal there..

129-4

lets see if akhtar continues

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ganguly solid defends the last ball of Razzaq's over.

Its 129/4

 

[Oxy]

Arun Lal very smug at the mo' - says 'that doesnt warrant an appeal'! 129-4

 

[the true passionist]

Razzaq settling down ?

looks so...let's hope the best.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

akhtar does continue and he starts off with a no ball

131-4

 

[Nauman]

129/4 we need a wicket fast.

 

[MIG]

Possibly one more over from Akhtar ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Arun Lal very smug at the mo' - says 'that doesnt warrant an appeal'! 129-4

in all fairness that didnt warrant an appeal was nowhere near the stumps

 

[Kashif]

Shoaib bowling at pace but wicket has eased out now. Ball is still seaming....whats wrong with Rana again? Need a breakthrough and the boys are v quiet.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Cmon Shoaib! Make dada to remember his perdada!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shoaib akhtar looking very jaded here he should rest after this over

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pitched up delivery that is hit str8 to mohd yousuf

 

[Oxy]

They just showed the pitch-where the 'green' gone?????

 

[the true passionist]

Possibly one more over from Akhtar ?

dont think so.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no ball

132-4

 

[Usman Chadda]

Yaar Shoaib subah ko kya ghalat kha liya tum ne?

 

[the true passionist]

They just showed the pitch-where the 'green' gone?????

yes could easily end up to be a draw..

 

[Oxy]

That was quick: 94.7 mph.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ganguly crying over an inside edge onto his body

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shoaib going around the wicket agn

 

[Oxy]

I didnt see the 1st 35 mins-did our bowlers just assume that they had to turn up and bowl and take wkts?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib back round the wicket. Shoaib's 90% of the deliveries today have ended up going down the leg-side.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ganguly swears loundly after missing leg stump ball

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ends the over with a short ball that is ducked

India 132-4

 

[the true passionist]

he has just tried too much instead of having a game plan.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

abdul razzaq to yuvi now

 

[Oxy]

Just to let you guys know that Ganguly is AWARE of Pakpassion (Im not saying hes logged in) so all this talk that he was an 'easy wkt' could have fired him up???

 

[Oxy]

Razzak looking goood-on the money

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Just to let you guys know that Ganguly is AWARE of Pakpassion (Im not saying hes logged in) so all this talk that he was an 'easy wkt' could have fired him up???

yes romali rotti is secretly ganguly's cousin's uncle's friend's brother's aunt's mother in law's room mate

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good shot by yuvraj that is four

136-4

yuvi looking very good here

drinks are called and India in a very good position

 

[Usman Chadda]

I can still see some of the 'green'on the pitch. Just falls short of Afridi. Close call!

India - 132/4

 

[Usman Chadda]

I cant believe we cant get a mediocre batsman like Ganguly out

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well guys as i have an exam tomorrow i am off to sleep now so ill see you all later inshallah Pakistan will do something here

 

[badxhah]

i think its was the crucial hour that india has survived ,, momentum surely wid india now

 

[Aurangzeb]

india will put up a big total now...they have survived the 1st hour...with a bit of grit and luck...

 

[the true passionist]

plumb!

 

[azaruddin]

Current partnership is worth 80 runs, 15.2 overs, RR: 5.22 ... Good show ....

 

[Usman Chadda]

Taufel lets Pakistan down! No luck whatsoever for Pakistan.

 

[the true passionist]

or prob a faint inside edge.

 

[the_game]

plumb!

I think he nicked it.

 

[Big Mac]

I think there was the slightest inside edge there, brilliant decision from Taufel.

 

[Big Mac]

YAS, Razzaq has Ganguly caught hooking

 

[the true passionist]

got him....confident casual catch by asif.

 

[the true passionist]

got him....confident casual catch by asif.

not casual...just looked in first sight.

 

[kablooee87]

The pitch was providing no help and Ganguly helps us out by showing his knack for stupid pull shots.

 

[Oxy]

whose out? what happened...just nipped out for a break!!!

 

[Slugger]

yay

 

[Big Mac]

Silly shot from Ganguly in all honesty, let's have a collapse now please.

 

[the true passionist]

this will tell dhoni's class....Pak getting in some bowling rythm...but sadly akhtar is out of attack.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Razzaq gets Dada. Ha Ha. Tried to play a pull shot but straight down Asif's throat at fine-leg. Pakistan at last get a wicket.

India - 137/5 (back to square one)

 

[Kashif]

Phew! Thank God, finally a dismissal. Bowlers bowling a better line now.

 

[Slugger]

pakistan needs better line and length!

 

[Oxy]

Nice bowling Razzak! Good final ball!

 

[the true passionist]

akhtar should learn a point here.....short ones are good as surprise deliveries.
same as yorkers (u cant bowl them regularly)

 

[tahaqureshi]

Why the lack of jubilation on PP??? this was CRUCIAL wicket!
