[Ace Base]

Masha Allah, Pakistan roar again!

This is the Pakistan I love. Inshallah, I sense this series shall be a turning point in their history.

Win or draw, Pakistan has shown they can turn it on like no other team in world cricket.

 

[yk]

[Invictus]

[nafajafam]

it is still batting wicket. but either pakistan will win or it will be a draw

 

[nafajafam]

47-4

 

[immubhai]

Is Asim Kamal on the field ??? he is the worst fielder

For whom? Has shoiab gone out of the field?

 

[yk]

No, shoiab is on the field

 

[tahaqureshi]

8.2 Sami to Pietersen, no run, taps it gently back to the bowler, was in the air, Sami takes it but he signals that the ball has bounced, good cricket by him!

I love you man! Great sportsmanship!

 

[Raz]

Pieterson trying to repeat his heroics in the last test in the Ashes.

 

[nafajafam]

47-4 England.

 

[Invictus]

Seems like we are the only ones left with sportsmanship.

 

[badxhah]

[yk]

Danish saying his Hindu prayers, in the outfield, so that he doesn't drop a catch.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Time to bring in 1 of the spinners now

 

[octavian]

camera just showed Kaneria praying hard..lol

 

[mlegha1]

Inzi should give shoaib another short spell of about 3 overs...before bringing the spinners on...

 

[immubhai]

Is Inzi in the field? Asim kamal is fielding for Inzi?

 

[Invictus]

What difference does that make dude. You think he is going to admit it they are just little cry babies.

 

[badxhah]

sami posing no threat

 

[yk]

England going at 4.5 runs an over, thats exactly the req. rate

 

[yk]

Danish is on!!!!

 

[spongebob]

England going at 4.5 runs an over, thats exactly the req. rate

thye can only keep that up if these two bat all the way

 

[mumtaz]

Inzi should bring on Kaneria and Afridi now.

 

[Raz]

Great ball to finish the over

 

[the true passionist]

are the English now well settled?
only kaneria and Afridi will tell...
i have a feeling that Afridi is the danger man today

 

[badxhah]

samis lone fan

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Danish on now!

 

[nafajafam]

51-4 England. good ball that last one from sami.
danish onto bowl.

 

[immubhai]

Sami is again pitching way outside leg...achhhhhhhhh. Sami kick KP out of the ground, pitch him on the OF stump

 

[mlegha1]

Remember Kaneria U still have 3 warnings for running on the pitch...so be agressive

 

[nafajafam]

taufel is the umpire.

 

[Invictus]

where have I heard that before.

 

[Raz]

Kaneria bowling from Taufels end.

 

[nafajafam]

51-4

 

[deviously~fading~away]

maiden from kaneria!But we need wickets!

 

[Raz]

Maiden from Kaneria.

 

[CrickFan]

Sami is useless ..absolutely toothless - time to consign him to history and try some new bloke ...

 

[nafajafam]

well fielded by slip. good over. great control by danish. 51-4 England

 

[Invictus]

stop these two from scoring and they'll give you their wickets on a platter so a maiden is a good start.

 

[nafajafam]

partnership 31 off 39 balls.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Sami getting advice from Akhtar

 

[yk]

Waqar just called Rana Naveed ul Haq......LOL...wat a clown

 

[Invictus]

When will this Sami bashing end.

 

[CrickFan]

Looks like these two have saved the day for england - although a miracle is still possible ..but now looking unlikely since we only have one shoaib

 

[mooz]

how long before shoaib comes back into the attack?

 

[Raz]

Shoaib having a chat with Sami.

 

[nafajafam]

sami and shoaib talking... good to see them discuss bowling.

 

[octavian]

shoaib giving a lecture to Sami.. lets see if it works

 

[shan]

Waqar just called Rana Naveed ul Haq......LOL...wat a clown

now i can belive this because i am watching it )

 

[mooz]

still 40 overs left

 

[yk]

KP middling everything!!!!!

 

[nafajafam]

good shot, straight to shoaib.

 

[CrickFan]

When will this Sami bashing end.

when he learn to take wickets when Pakistan needs it ...it hasn't happned in the last 5 years and unlikely to happen in the next 5 years ..time to take a leaf from Australian Cricket who do not put up with under performing players (clarke , katch , gillespie )

 

[nafajafam]

sami is doing the right thing by pitching it up... but no swing for him so far.

 

[nafajafam]

52-4 England

 

[octavian]

shoaib giving a lecture to Sami.. lets see if it works

it hasnt.. crappy over from Sami

 

[AT1]

fridi should come on

 

[Raz]

when he learn to take wickets when Pakistan needs it ...it hasn't happned in the last 5 years and unlikely to happen in the next 5 years ..time to take a leaf from Australian Cricket who do not put up with under performing players (clarke , katch , gillespie )

I guess you've been living in a cave then for the past 5 years.

 

[Raz]

it hasnt.. crappy over from Sami

So if he doesnt take a wicket it makes it a crap over?!

 

[immubhai]

now i can belive this because i am watching it )

Waqar is a real Clown, i also heard him calling Muhammad Yousuf, Youhana and the way he pronounces Kamran Akmal name that is also hilarious and now Naveed ulhaq

 

[octavian]

We need KP.. he is the man of crisis

 

[spongebob]

he is bowling tight, give him a break

 

[Invictus]

who got tresco last inning. He bowled pretty good in the last test too did'nt pick many wickets but he bowled pretty good.

 

[z10]

these two will give us chances, we just have to hang in there and take the chances when they come

no need to panic though, the game is still in our grasp

 

[CrickFan]

I guess you've been living in a cave then for the past 5 years.

If Sami's performance in the last 5 years has fired your imagination to such an extent - I am happy for you

 

[octavian]

So if he doesnt take a wicket it makes it a crap over?!

no. if he looks like he wont take a wicket in million years.. that s a crappy over

 

[immubhai]

We need KP.. he is the man of crisis

wait till Afridi comes in to bowl him....this should be the plan to bring Sami from Danish's end and bring Afridi for Danish...I am sure, KP would go to hit Afridi sixers and Afridi is going to do something to shut his mouth

 

[Raz]

no. if he looks like he wont take a wicket in million years.. that s a crappy over

Hes drying up the runs and exerting pressure. That eventually more often than not leads to wickets.

 

[Invictus]

Octavian guy I guess you are not a bowler.

 

[nafajafam]

57-4

 

[octavian]

each and every ball that sami has bowled has been middled so far. what a liability he is on this team

 

[yk]

KP middleing EVERYTHING...we have one hour to get 3/4 more wickets.

 

[octavian]

Octavian guy I guess you are not a bowler.

your guess is wrong Imran Khan

 

[nafajafam]

58-4 England. Drinks break

 

[Raz]

Drinks on now.

 

[the true passionist]

Afridi should also come in pretty early...
i would bring him in before having Akhtar bowl from sami's end..

 

[nafajafam]

each and every ball that sami has bowled has been middled so far. what a liability he is on this team

bhai, it is a batting wicket and ball is getting old. swing and seam will be minimum. give sami some lax

 

[deviously~fading~away]

We need to get 1 of these 2 out soon

 

[immubhai]

Sami is bowling a tight over, just hang in guys, inshallah KP 's wicket will be ours soon. Both of them are playing aggressively and its evenly poised at the moment. We just need KP's wicket right now. I hope our outfielders dont do anything silly now
