official day 5 thread [24/11/05]

[octavian]

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

pressure ?? you gotta be kidding. Was there pressure when Rana and Shoaib were bowling or is there pressure now ?

 

[sars_pal]

Come on guys we get one of these now we can run through them

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi on!

 

[the true passionist]

good move

 

[the true passionist]

afridi in..

 

[sars_pal]

wouldnt be sweet if Afridi got Pieterson

 

[yk]

Afro-Di replacing Danish??!!

 

[Raz]

Afridi coming on now!

 

[nafajafam]

Beast On Now

 

[octavian]

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

OK yaar if you say so

 

[Invictus]

If you were a bowler you would know that the Sami is not a liability. He is a decent fielder an okay tail ender and a bowler when potential. He might not take wickets but he upsets the batsman rhythm and help creates opportunities for others and if you cant see that then you cant be a bowler.

 

[nafajafam]

single taken. pieterson could soon go

 

[Raz]

Pieterson looking to get after him.

 

[immubhai]

I just hope KP goes for the big six on the midwicket area and our fielders just make sure they grab this one, Afridi the Killer...will be euipped with his best fighting instincts today....thats for sure,..its do or dye for him today

your dead wrong again ! you dont know anything about me so dont say things about me. shud i say that ur blind ?

 

[nafajafam]

OK yaar if you say so

just getting behind the team bro. no need to get sarcastic.

 

[Ace Base]

I hope Insha Allah Pakistan can win this.

However, I feel England will manage to cling on to a draw with 6 wickets down.

England proving that they are nothing but a bunch of imposters.

Aussies are going to rule the roost for a couple of years more.

Then, Inshallah, its Pakistan;s turn.

 

[nafajafam]

good over. 59-1 England

 

[spongebob]

good over. 59-1 England

59-1

 

[Invictus]

On all counts eh! SO he is not a decent fielder or a good tail ender or a bowler with potential. I guess me, Bob and Inzi are plain crazy.

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Danish on from Hair end????

 

[nafajafam]

59-1

sorry. 59-4

 

[Raz]

Pieterson getting very cocky.

 

[nafajafam]

61-4

 

[immubhai]

this cricinfo is not gettting upload.....seems like server is going to blast soon

 

[immubhai]

61-4

thanks yar, write soon the moment Afridi gets KP

 

[offstump]

is danish still afraid of hair

 

[octavian]

no he is not. Inzi and Bob are not a part of this. again u r drifting from the topic

 

[Raz]

Notice when Kaneria was bowling from Taufels end he was bowling from over the wicket, bowling from Hair's end hes bowling from around the wicket.

 

[nafajafam]

there is no point danish bowling around the wicket.

 

[offstump]

hahah that guy needs a spelling check on his sign

 

[Raz]

Kaneria was going to kill Pieterson then! That look he gave him!!!!!! Ive never see him that angry. Boy oh boy if Pieterson did anything back Kaneria would have gone for him.

 

[Invictus]

is danish still afraid of hair

It would be in the back of his head altgough i hope not

 

[nafajafam]

its a new innings, danish should bowl over the wicket

 

[offstump]

this is a new innings danish doesnt have any warnings

 

[Furky2]

Pakistan will be the best team in the world Ace Base?!?!?!? They would need to have some batsmen other than Inzi and the slogger Afridi for that!!!

 

[Raz]

Afridi vs. Pieterson now.

 

[the true passionist]

hahah that guy needs a spelling check on his sign

i guess that is pretty deliberate

iRn boTam

 

[Invictus]

How Octavian. If Inzi and Bob are the captain and coach then they select the team. They have been pretty consistant in selecting Sami when he is available. So thinking logically they would put a guy in the team thats a waste of oppotunity.

 

[immubhai]

its a new innings, danish should bowl over the wicket

does it mean, he still has three warnings in the new innnings? i thought three is for the whole match? please answer

 

[nafajafam]

smart take by kamran. good over. 62-4

 

[Raz]

Pakistan will be the best team in the world Ace Base?!?!?!? They would need to have some batsmen other than Inzi and the slogger Afridi for that!!!

The Beast Afridi thank you very much

 

[CrickFan]

the way these two are playing ...match is a draw ..bcoz England have a strong tail that can wag .. jeet ka chance nahee lagtaa ab

 

[nafajafam]

danish around the wicket is just wasting time.

 

[the true passionist]

kaneria shud come over the wkt

 

[Furky2]

Wish we had pietersen rather than Afridi!

 

[nafajafam]

64-4. 45 overs remaining in the day. 221 to win.

 

[octavian]

they dont select the team Invictus my blind freind!

Wasim Bari selects the team and they choose the best eleven AVAILABLE to them. there are beter bowlers in Pakistan than Sami who are not available to them. See the Logic my freind, you are the one is being short-sighted

 

[CrickFan]

i agree ..i won't be surprised if he does not know the rules and no body cared to tell him that the warning was for previous innings . I think he is under the notion that one more warning and he cannot bowl

 

[nafajafam]

Wish we had pietersen rather than Afridi!

 

[AT1]

The Beast Afridi thank you very much

) ) ) )

 

[the true passionist]

akhtar dada comes in...
his style is of a gangster

 

[spongebob]

ah well...we may not win...but we gave the poms a mighty fright!!!

 

[nafajafam]

shoaib on now.

 

[Raz]

Wish we had pietersen rather than Afridi!

Yeah right!!!! Any team in the world would rather have Afridi over Pieterson! Even England if they had the choice.

 

[Big Mac]

Come on guys, need a wicket and quick please.

 

[nafajafam]

the game is slipping from our hands

 

[Furky2]

I think Pakistan are doing amazing because although they are at home and the conditions are miles more suited to them than England, England would stuff them in England as they did the best team in the world in the summer! They are doing really well to have been so dominent

 

[nafajafam]

Come on guys, need a wicket and quick please.

Big Mac, you missed ranadhino make a fool of strauss and vaughan

 

[nafajafam]

short delivery, 2 runs taken. partnership extended to 47.

 

[nafajafam]

good shot backward of point for 4.
71-4

 

[Furky2]

Yeah right!!!! Any team in the world would rather have Afridi over Pieterson! Even England if they had the choice.

What makes you say that? Look at the way Afridi was out yesterday! He put Pakistan in really bad danger! He is a slogger. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Pietersen's technique is miles better. He was the leading run scorer in the ashes series, he won England he ashes with that final innings and he's now keeping England in this series by steering them to a draw! Afridi is not capable of such things! He's thrilling sure. But he is no Pietersen. Also Pietersen is very young and can only get better! It's time to stop the biased lookout. Pietersen was in the world XI. Where was Afridi?

 

[nafajafam]

4 down third man. 75-4. expensive over.

 

[Big Mac]

Big Mac, you missed ranadhino make a fool of strauss and vaughan

The beauty of Sky+ meant I could rewind the game back one hour after I woke up with the score at 10/3 so I saw all the England wickets fall thankfully.

so was mark boucher.. your point?

 

[offstump]

why is danish around the wicket...its a waste

 

[Raz]

KP getting frustrated, sledge karo saley ko

 

[Furky2]

so was mark boucher.. your point?

My point is the comment was made that any side in the world including England would have selected Afridi over Pietersen........................Evidently not the case

 

[nafajafam]

some friendly words from short leg and silly point to skunkyboy.

 

[Invictus]

they dont select the team Invictus my blind freind!

Wasim Bari selects the team and they choose the best eleven AVAILABLE to them. there are beter bowlers in Pakistan than Sami who are not available to them. See the Logic my freind, you are the one is being short-sighted

So Bob and Inzi have no say in the team selection. The best 16 are picked by the selectors themselves. I bet you did'nt hear Bob or Inzi praising Sami's efforts ever. I guess I am dillusional. But who are the bowlers that are better then Sami and are not in the team.

 

[the true passionist]

i guess a draw it is now...
unless we can get a couple in 30 mins b4 tea

 

[nafajafam]

My point is the comment was made that any side in the world including England would have selected Afridi over Pietersen........................Evidently not the case

A side including mark boucher when there are other bettes options says a lot about pieterson's selection also.

 

[Wiji]

Going to be a cracker of an ending if these two batsman hang around for a bit longer. About 210 runs needed to win off nearly 40 overs. They remaning batsmen will be in two minds about whether to go for a win or settle for a draw. The game is still open for all three results!

 

[yk]

come on lads just once more!!!!!!

 

[Furky2]

Yeah right!!!! Any team in the world would rather have Afridi over Pieterson! Even England if they had the choice.

Can I also ask Do you think Afridi would be doing as well as Pietersen is doing now for England in a similar position? and be honest not biased!

 

[nafajafam]

rana should sledge pieterson about his saffie background.. might extract some reaction

 

[nafajafam]

78-4 England

Afridi is a far more talented cricketer than Pieterson. Many people including English supporters would agree with that. What he can do Pieterson wishes he can do. And by the way Afridi was in the World XI team!

 

[nafajafam]

42 overs remaining. 6 wickets needed.

 

[nafajafam]

danish over the wicket now. good
