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

Malik is our strike bowler today. Now they will be talking alot about his action.
 
Who foresaw the innocuous Malik ripping through the English batting?
 
Well played Tresco ...50 up

After a very slow start, he could make this a big one.

England's run rate dropping.
 
I repeat MAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
 
in 2000 pak vs england offspinner saqlain took 8 wickets will malik do the same or waht???
well to find out the answer we have to wait ...... i hope he does
 
Come on Akhtar, get your radar right. We need pressure from both ends.
 
humaray catch kay waqt 3rd umpire, Bell Mian kay waqt seeda seedha out daytay hain
 
england have gifted shoib malik 3 wickets on this pitch by sweeping.
 
Inzi feels there is too much pressure on the English batting so he's brought Sami back on.

In the meantime, Malik tries a Sami impersonation by giving away 3 fours. However, he's not really upto the mark because he only bowls one no ball in that over.
 
Hopefully we wont return gifts to England when we bat !
 
drinks on now....hopefully we can continue our tradition of getting wickets after these breaks!!!!!
 
I am sure Sami will still be in the Pakistan team when my great grandson gets married ...on sheer potential ...
 
In my days, the tradition was to feed Jamal Gota to visiting teams as drinks.....( Jamal Gota = diaorahea inducing herb )

Funny man!
 
Sami and his potential, i like to meet the people who are able to see his potential (-: I feel pity for Sami's cousins and well wishers. They got to be looking for covers. They might have applied for Bangladesh's immigration (-:
 
Okay, er, I know Shoiab Malik has taken three wickets and all that but what is Inzi thinking by persisiting with hi?
 
Two more wickets today and England will definitely struggle to reach 400.

That should be Pakistan's first piriority today.
 
Where is our Top spinning deal Danish Kay? Now try different bowler for different batsman. Malik broke the partnership, more i really would doubt he could do (accept getting ban for chukking). So leave him alone on the fine leg boundary

Make no mistakes ..those fingers will go up (slowly but surely ) if the appeal is against Pakistani Batsmen .. Why is noone doing anything about this .. BTW Bowden gave some horrendous decisions against WI (not that it would have mattered) ..
 
The umpiring throughout this series has been very poor.

Although England have benefited 75 % of the time.

which ball looked plumb?

Malik bowled to Pietersen, hit him on the leg in front of the stumps. Ball was going to hit middle and leg or just leg. Absolutely plumb. It was plumb in slow mo, and in real time too.

43.1 Shoaib Malik to Pietersen, no run, tossed up, on leg stump, hit the
pad and shout for lbw, declined


doesnt sound plumb according to cricinfo
 
BTW ..Pieterson is actually a south african - and rudi too is SAFian ...very interesting
 
malik just bowled a doosra, i thought he was banned from bowling that delivery?

Believe, it was plumb. The commentators also thought it was plumb.

at least Malik is worthy of taking gifted wkts. Sami Holding cant even do that.
 
England will reach around 300 at close of play today.

Hopefully, they'll be at least 5 down by then.
 
kaneria should look to go all out attack

a wicket here would be brilliant

i think danni will get fined for excessive appealing

Why is it always Asians who get the short end of the stick? Why must Asians always watch out for rules, regulations et cetera?
 
Kaneria cannot take wickets till he has given 100 runs and bowled atleast 50 overs ..i.e if he is not thrown out of the attack for running on the pitch .. He is probably a poor man's Mushy ..Mushy at his best was a delight to watch ..Kaneria bhai key zyada wickets bangladesh and WI sey miley hain ...1st test match was kind of aberration

Yes, Mushy was something special! You can't even compare the two. At his peak Mushtaq Ahmed was the best leg-spinner in the world, even better than Warne.

In Mushtaq's own words, mismanagement and lack of Islamic discipline ended it for him.
