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

[immubhai]

Maybe Inzi is hoping for a McGrath-Warne from Shoaib-Kaneria.

I never thought Inzi is so naive. Inzi is expecting miracles from Danish ...hell they are tailenders, i say do some bombing of fast bowlers

 

[Cartman]

shoiby really cranked it up in this spell didnt he.. wonderful wonderful bowling.. well done.

 

[shan]

sami on

 

[nedian21]

Sami Holding on. easy runs for Colly and Udal

 

[Cartman]

the talentless wonder is back on!

 

[UJ]

Sami given another chance here, Shoaib being replaced

 

[pak4life]

sami back cheap runs on offer uff

 

[alghazzali]

That's just your answer to everything. OK if it makes you happy the whole world are against Pakistan and everything they achieve is so high and mighty because they have to overcome every feat of bad luck in their way. The umpires were informed by the ICC before the series to not give Pakistan any decisions. Happy now? you big moaner

Again, as in anything, there is a medium. Both of you are going to the extreme. Not everything was against Pakistan, but there was alot against them also.

Furky obviously hasn't followed too much cricket, but Nauman you shouldn't pick on some who is obvioulsy void of cricketing knowledge.

 

[immubhai]

Shoaib has bowled extremely well in this spell, Yousaf dropped a catch, one dropped short of Akmal, one robbed by Hair, perfect yorkers just being dug.

He deserves at least 2 wickets by the end of the day.

hain hain what dropped a catch by MOYO?

 

[Nauman]

Well light is fading so I think batsmen will be offered light withinin a couple of overs.

 

[Baron]

If I was the captain, I wouldn't be too happy if the English got to 300 in these circumstances.

Go for the kill, Inzi! (and no, that does not mean bringing Sami on).

Speak of the devil I cant believe it, 2 dot balls! So when is the buffet ball comng up...........

 

[Ace Base]

Udal has a first class batting avaerage of over 23. This guy can bat, make no mistake.

 

[shan]

If I was the captain, I wouldn't be too happy if the English got to 300 in these circumstances.

Go for the kill, Inzi! (and no, that does not mean bringing Sami on).

so what he should do?

kaneria and shaib is bowling so rana and sami are the onl other bowlers around

 

[nedian21]

Sami Holding on. so easy runs for colly and udal

 

[stb]

pudi koertzen is one of the worst umpires of the icc panel, i think they should introuce a 2 tier system of international umpires

 

[Nauman]

Sami Holding on. so easy runs for colly and udal

Should have brought in Rana, he has looked like taking a wicket all day.

 

[Ace Base]

pudi koertzen is one of the worst umpires of the icc panel, i think they should introuce a 2 tier system of international umpires

Yes, and Koertzen and Hair should only be allowed to officiate Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe matches.

 

[Cartman]

im horrified..


sami while walking to his runup, looked exactly 100 percent positively like mai jantey who cleans our house in lahore....

GOD LORD!!!!!!

i am scarred for life now.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[stb]

england off close of play 248-6

 

[shan]

13 overs lost today and u can see england will be happy to draw the test

 

[Waseem]

Let's ignore furky untill a mod steps in.

But think baout it, if some desi umpire was giving all the decisions against the England, we will always find some sort of excuse and English fans are doing exactly that.
They know exactly who's favouring who but they can't take it all gracefully.
He is just trying to make himself feel better

 

[UJ]

Light is offered and batsmen walk off. Thats the days play

 

[Nauman]

13 overs lost today and u can see england will be happy to draw the test

Why would England be happy with that?

 

[immubhai]

when did this dropped catch happen? Sami..........when would you learn not to release pressure...do something, you can atleast bowl some bouncers to Colly ..........please for God sake, i dont want to read another Collly 's stupid crappy **** on bbc

 

[stb]

i think we leave furky2 on! cmon furky2 r u there?

 

[Ace Base]

Hmmm. At this rate England will have to bat until lunch tomorrow to reach 350. If they survive, that is.

England have a lot of catching up to do. Pakistan have to play hard cricket tomorrow. Might be a cracker of a match yet.

 

[stb]

i thought kamran akmal had a blinder of a game today

 

[shan]

Why would England be happy with that?

well if they really wanted to win the match they should have played another 6 or 7 overs thats mean another 20 runs or more.

 

[nedian21]

Should have brought in Rana, he has looked like taking a wicket all day.

true but Rana cant bowl Whole day yar. Inzi and Bob shd have played Asif even Arshad Khan or Mushy wud have been much better than Holding

 

[stb]

it will be interesting to know if the england thinktank have chose the correct strategy

 

[Cartman]

im just sccared now that england have 5 bowlers and they would be able to put a lot more pressure on pakistan.. our batting is really weak for this match.

 

[pak4life]

even after all the cheating the day has worked ok for pak.
with the new ball tomorow and the early morning dew they wil finish the innings off. just hope there isnt too much swing wen pak faces the new ball

 

[pakistani pride]

Well we will bowl in the morning and by the time we come out 2 bat the swinging conditions will be gone hopefully !

 

[zulfiqar]

I'm not being funny but lets face it whenever are Pakistan NOT hard done by? The umpires are always against them. Luck is always against them. Ah that catch didn't quite reach! What a dose of bad luck! When Inzamam gets dropped - SILENCE! You're right Pakistan would be best team in the world if they ever had luck! You really do deserve more of it because you could of beat Australia!!

Since he has graciously admitted defeat, let's let the poor guy off the hook. He's feeling pretty down as we speak since his boys have lost wickets (if he's infact English at all).

Bad lights stop play.. o well, at the end of the day 248-6 ain't bad.. just gotta wrap up the innings tomorrow before they get 300 & with shoaib and rana firing the way they are inshAllah it will be piece of cake

 

[Baron]

It will be interesting to see how well our new batters do against the English. With a 5 prong seam attack, if they fail to bowl in the right areas, they might pay for not picking a varied bowling lineup. Apart from Flintoff and Harmy, i cant see them causing us too many difficulties. But then again, we're talking about Pakistan here and nothing goes smoothly.....

 

[Monsee]

Hey is Monsee in Atlanta

Yes I am, why?
