Official: Pak vs Eng 1st test, Day1 [29/11/05]

[waquas_uk]

How many overs left in days play considering light issues?

cant really say becuase it seems to be a clear day and we have floodlights

 

[immubhai]

Rana ? was it Rana again?

 

[Nauman]

Rana Naveed

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

wooohooo another big wicket... i think its time to bring shoaib
on now let him have a go at them...

 

[hasan316]

Shoaib

 

[UJ]

Rana Naved, caught by Shoaib

 

[waquas_uk]

yes naved doing the magic akhtar taking the catch

 

[immubhai]

Shoaib

Ji nahin....Rana the Kojack did it again

 

[spongebob]

crucial period now, lets pur some pressure on in the final session

 

[Nauman]

Need to get Jones out too, Giles is not playing in this match so thats a plus for us as he is a very sticky customer with the bat.

 

[Big Mac]

Ranadinho

 

[immubhai]

Now i pray, we have another 15 overs to bowl

 

[hasan316]

yaar Shoaib took the catch

 

[Ace Base]

Has anyone noticed how restrained in praise of the Pakistanis the Cricinfo tea bulletin is.

It makes it out to seem that Pakistan were just farting around in the field and were gifted wickets on a plate!

What rubbish! In general I don't believe in this "they threw their wickets away" theory. You've still got to bowl them right and if the opposition is "gifting" wickets then surely you've been doing something right in the field.

 

[UJ]

Another quick wicket here and the tail will have to face the second new ball.

 

[hasan316]

yaar give the ball to Shoaib.

 

[immubhai]

abbay yeh, Colly seems like becoming Sachin....we need to get him out soon...i say, now bring in Akhtar from the other end and start bambooozling bouncers on him ( with one, forward short leg near by)

 

[Nauman]

Oooh almost carried to Kaneria of his own bowling of Jones. Anyways 209/5 now.

 

[immubhai]

yaar Shoaib took the catch

Its ok, yaar, I was not asking people to hang you

 

[hasan316]

hehehehehe

 

[yk]

Whay has Shoaib bowled only 10 overs in the day?????

Has he had a bit of a flip flop with Inzi????

Shoaib doesn't look too happy in the field.

 

[Nauman]

Whay has Shoaib bowled only 10 overs in the day?????

Has he had a bit of a flip flop with Inzi????

Shoaib doesn't look too happy in the field.

Looked perfectly happy to me, he has only bowled two spells for some odd reason, Inzi has relied more on Rana today.

 

[Furky2]

England! England! England

 

[immubhai]

Whay has Shoaib bowled only 10 overs in the day?????

Has he had a bit of a flip flop with Inzi????

Shoaib doesn't look too happy in the field.

hain? but he just took a catch happily! Inzi defenitely has plans to bring him in from the other end soon! just calm down, now it does not even look like England could score anything plus 250! so relax buddy!

 

[yk]

Thats what i wanna know, why only 2 spells?

Shoiab didn't really celebrate his catch either!!!!

 

[UJ]

50 for collingwood

 

[alghazzali]

Looked perfectly happy to me, he has only bowled two spells for some odd reason, Inzi has relied more on Rana today.

Do you blame him , he's picked up 2 very big wickets! To add to that, he is the intelligent bowler out of the bunch.

 

[waquas_uk]

colingwoods gets 50

 

[immubhai]

England! England! England

ultaay Cell lag gaai kiaa?

 

[nedian21]

Need to get Jones out too, Giles is not playing in this match so thats a plus for us as he is a very sticky customer with the bat.

any idea how is Giles'replacement Plunkett plays. Giles was a decent batsman

 

[alghazzali]

Pakistan have kick-started alot of careers. Symonds, Sangakkara to name a couple. Now Collingwood is on that list aswell.

 

[shan]

rana giving to many 4 balls

 

[Furky2]

ultaay Cell lag gaai kiaa?

WHAT THE BEJESUS DOES THAT MEAN?

 

[alghazzali]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I've just seen our batting!! A pack of cards that need a blow.

 

[immubhai]

any idea how is Giles'replacement Plunkett plays. Giles was a decent batsman

Plunket ! i also would ve picked him over Jimmy Badshah! He is little raw but got more pace than Jimmy...but i am assuming the Test pressure would be tough on him...so cant wait to see his wayward and erratic line

 

[Nauman]

Pakistan have kick-started alot of careers. Symonds, Sangakkara to name a couple. Now Collingwood is on that list aswell.

This list is quite a long one apart from the ones you mentioned Bell is also there, Hamish Marshall, Gautham Gambhir, Sarwan and the list goes on.

 

[immubhai]

WHAT THE BEJESUS DOES THAT MEAN?

dont mind that Furky , its ok...stick to England

 

[shan]

we are gona lose another 20 overs today

 

[alghazzali]

This list is quite a long one apart from the ones you mentioned Bell is also there, Hamish Marshall, Gautham Gambhir, Sarwan and the list goes on.

Sarwan and Sangakkara I like, but the rest bunch of phoneys.

 

[immubhai]

we are gona lose another 20 overs today

hain , thought we had lights in Lahore?

 

[yk]

YES Shoaib Bhai is on!!!!

 

[Furky2]

dont mind that Furky , its ok...stick to England

Furky TWO if u dont mind, imm

 

[Nauman]

we are gona lose another 20 overs today

Not really might be down to 5 to 10 because Lahore has flood lights, Faisalabad didnt.

 

[waquas_uk]

james plunkett can hold the bat aswell

 

[UJ]

Shoaib back on. Time to bring this Collingwood show to an end!!

 

[yk]

1 more wicket will be good, hopefully

 

[Nauman]

james plunkett can hold the bat aswell

Now that you mention it even Harmisson can hit a few as seen in the last test match.

 

[Ace Base]

Pakistan have kick-started alot of careers. Symonds, Sangakkara to name a couple. Now Collingwood is on that list aswell.

That made me laugh!

In all seriousness, Pakistan also seem to have a knack of allowing the opposition to create records against them or create ignomious records for themselves. Like the 21 ball Sami over.

 

[CrickFan]

This innings has to fold up within 40/50 runs for Pakistan to be on top ..bcoz i have this feeling ..batting last won't be easy ..plus younus and afridi not there

 

[immubhai]

Furky TWO if u dont mind, imm

Oh how in heaven could i miss that! Please dont cry over that!

 

[waquas_uk]

akhtar babu on now

 

[Ace Base]

Actually, I now think England will be at around 275 at close of play.

This match will looks like it'll last five days.

Pakistan must bat like men possesed though.

Anything more than 350 and the match will tilt in England's favour.

 

[pak4life]

mr 3-0 is playin his shots as he has nothin to lose once strauss gets bak he wil be out of the team. one more wicket pak should be able to clean up the tail

 

[yk]

Oh My God That Was Out.......hair U Kameeena!!!!!!!

 

[immubhai]

james plunkett can hold the bat aswell

well agaist Sami Holding!....even my nephew could not do so bad

 

[Big Mac]

The thieving has begun

 

[Waseem]

Hair strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fukin CHEAT......................
*** was he thinking???????????????????/

 

[hasan316]

what the hell is going on. Hair is blind. that was out

 

[immubhai]

Oh My God That Was Out.......hair U Kameeena!!!!!!!

on whose Bowling?

 

[yk]

This is really out of order, something needs to be done!!!!!!!

Why does Hair always make mistakes, watch how many more mistekes they make in the match.

 

[badxhah]

wat the point of having umpires jus plant tree's instead of them

 

[Nauman]

Akhtar's, clear edge even a deaf man would have heard the knick or atleast seen the deflection. Damn talk about blatant cheating.

 

[Ace Base]

Tails also seem to wag more vigorously against Pakistan than any other side in cricket. What other side in world cricket can make Harmlessone look like Viv Richards?

 

[hasan316]

Shoaib is on fire.

 

[yk]

on whose Bowling?

Shoaib got colly caught behind, cheat colly didn't walk, and hair neva gave it.

 

[Daoud]

A big F u to Daryll Hair. Is he blind or deaf or just retarded

 

[immubhai]

The Pakstop should make a video of all the mistakes by Vampires in this match and pass it on to the ICC! I wonder if Bobby thinks of that?

 

[Ace Base]

wat the point of having umpires jus plant tree's instead of them

Hilarious!!

 

[UJ]

Tails also seem to wag more vigorously against Pakistan than any other side in cricket. What other side in world cricket can make Harmlessone look like Viv Richards?

Thats sad, but very true!!!

 

[immubhai]

A big F u to Daryll Hair. Is he blind or deaf or just retarded

I guess, only biased would do

 

[yk]

NOW HE's out, jones bowled by DAN

 

[Nauman]

Even Botham is saying that was clearly out, England are already in with a 12 man team just a matter of time before Rudi makes it a 13 man side.

 

[Furky2]

Oh how in heaven could i miss that! Please dont cry over that!

Why would I be crying when England are gonna win and maintain their 2nd best in the world ranking?!?!?! IM LAUGHING IMM! )

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Bowled Him

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

yesss another wicket gorn.. kaneria gets the wicket... now lets try getting through the last 4...

 

[immubhai]

wat the point of having umpires jus plant tree's instead of them

that was a good one

 

[badxhah]

go baby go

 

[Daoud]

Haha. Jones gets bowled. Now the Poodle and the tail. Kaneria should have appealed though

 

[shan]

dani strikes

 

[Ace Base]

69th over: England 223-5 (Collingwood 58, Jones 3) To huge cheers and schoolgirl screams, Shoaib comes on for Naved. And immediately there's a huge appeal for a caught behind. It's definitely out - Collingwood inside-edged it to the wicketkeeper - but Darrell Hair says "Not Out!". Incredible decision.
