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

[immubhai]

at least Malik is worthy of taking gifted wkts. Sami Holding cant even do that.

Party jaani do , aapkaai hi mihallaaaay kaa haai

 

[pakistani pride]

bowl is more then 50 overs old. Shoaib and rana shud come in as they are good with the old ball !

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

50 partnership up

 

[Big Mac]

Why is it always Asians who get the short end of the stick? Why must Asians always watch out for rules, regulations et cetera?

Well it would help if Kaneria didn't appeal 3 times in one delivery after the umpire has already said not out after the ball has missed the bat by at least 6 inches

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

rana on

 

[nafajafam]

England 166-3

 

[Big Mac]

Holy ****, there's NO way on earth that Kaneria just did that diving stop

 

[nafajafam]

A good peice of fielding by kaneria and the commentator is talking of the dew factor and how long the game will last

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

52.5 Naved to Pietersen, 2 runs, fuller length drifting down the leg, Pietersen flicks it to backward square leg, lovely piece of fielding there by Kaneria!

are my eyes decieving me

kaineria & fielding

 

[CrickFan]

It has been a miraculous series for Pakistan - the fact that they won the first test match and drew the next one inspite of having Sami as their frontline bowler is nothing less than a miracle

 

[nafajafam]

effortless 6 by skunkyboy

 

[nafajafam]

Danish bowls too many over-pitched deliveries.

 

[Betty S]

What are the chances that f*cking collingwood gets his 1st 50 against us.

F*cking pisses me right off. We will definitely lose this match. That I can guarantee.

 

[CrickFan]

Why is Rana bowling a middle/ leg stump line to Pieterson - everyone knows that he is very strong on his legs and very mediocre offside player

 

[Imy]

Have you looked at the pitch its died down, what else can you do

 

[immubhai]

"Pietersen shows he hasn't removed the sweep shot from his armoury, despite the shot costing three wickets, as well as a hotly disputed lbw appeal against Pietersen himself. He takes a single with it, Collingwood adds one more, and that's 150 for England"

On the first day?

yar Immu bhai apni hee city ka hai jabhi tu i have some good suggestions for him. I have told Noddy bhai to pass those to him:

(A) Consider a career in modelling like Salil Ankola. I am sure he will be very famous in Indian soap operas

(B) Apply for a Bangladeshi or Zimbabwa citizenship. He can be their strike bowler for many yrs without getting an axe.

(C) Open a saloon in Clifton with all the money he has earned through cricket.

 

[immubhai]

"Kaneria returns, having bowled only three overs for three runs previously, and his first ball prompts a frenetic appeal for either lbw or a catch at silly point as Collingwood props hesitantly forward, but umpire Koertzen is not a man to be messed with."

source:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/4476368.stm

Yeh, Koertzen is not a man he is a vampire,

 

[pacman]

Great catch from Akmal.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

yessss just the wicket we needed before tea

pakistan zindabaad

 

[CrickFan]

on the contrary ..i think the pitch is taking sharp turn ..now it is up to the spinners to show their mettle (if they have it ).. what do they expect ..rank turners to get wickets ???

 

[CrickFan]

waaah bhai ......great show

Why Clifton buddy? ask him to open something near Gurumandar

 

[badxhah]

wata catch

 

[Big Mac]

What a catch

 

[UJ]

Pieterson gone!!! and thats tea

 

[hasan316]

[alghazzali]

Pieterson gone!!! and thats tea

Yeh and I found out........like yesterday

 

[waquas_uk]

[hasan316]

we need to bring Shoaib and Rana.

 

[mulan]

Open a saloon in Clifton with all the money he has earned through cricket.

Is that Clifton in SA?

 

[nedian21]

Great catch from Akmal.

This session belongs to Pakistan. 4 wkts and only 90 odd runs given. and that too having Sami Holding in the side. great achievement

 

[pacman]

Just the break we needed before tea. If we can get another couple of wickets in the last session, then day will belong to Pakistan. Say, 250/7. The pitch looks absolutely flat though.

 

[hasan316]

Hey is Monsee in Atlanta

 

[nedian21]

Is that Clifton in SA?

In Karachi. One of the posh areas in Karachi

 

[Kashif]

England did a Pakistan during the lunch session. But what about those 2 stunning catches by Kamran! Boy am I glad that we have a world class keeper.

 

[nedian21]

Why Clifton buddy? ask him to open something near Gurumandar

yar gurumandar mai kaha chalay ga. wahan tu local hairdresser hee chaltay hai. Sami jesay log Clifton mai hee hotay hai

 

[immubhai]

What a catch

have you seen the catch? was it like the catch which has been taken by the West Indies wicket keeper ( in 1987-88 season, i forgot the name of that famous Windies keeper) off the bowling of Marshall?

 

[immubhai]

[immubhai]

Jeff Dujon?

thanks, i was looking for the name in circinfo.com players profile,,,yes, that was Geoffry Dujon...or what ever way they spell his name...I am hoping Akmal's catch also has same similiarities with that catch...That was one hell of a catch

It was a pretty innocuous delivery but Akmal's dived full stretch to take it one handed down low. Brilliant reflexes

"short ball, banged in, driffting down the leg side, Pietersen tries to flick it fine, thick outside edge goes towards the keeper who dives to his left and takes a brilliant catch...."

Can't wait to watch hilites tonite

Hello Mulan

Is Sandy Bay still a nudist beach

Camps Bay is great for the eyes and soul of single men

 

[alghazzali]

Go chat about this somewhere else, this Cricket commentary/talkpoint pleeease.

 

[waquas_uk]

kaneria and rana continue after lunch

 

[Khalil]

Gibbs, Kallis and Kirsten spend most of their free time at Camps Bay

 

[alghazzali]

That's more like it.

 

[Invictus]

Guys watching the game live. I got some questions.
IS the pitch taking sharp turn with bounce or is it slow turn and normal bounce. Coz from the commentary and the comments here it does'nt seem like the batsmen have been 2 bothered with any of our bowlers.

 

[waquas_uk]

wers the live commentry gone?

 

[mulan]

Hello Mulan

Is Sandy Bay still a nudist beach

Camps Bay is great for the eyes and soul of single men

And what about the soul of the single woman....

Anyhow, yes. Last time I heard you can still walk around in the nude at Sandy Bay...You remember that Coenie song "Almal doen die Sandy Bay Blues"....classic.

Anyway...what about that beach with the lovely welsh name: Llandudno? Same as Sandy Bay and Clifton

Clifton unfortunately has turned into a playground for the rich and famous. You can only buy there if you are a mulli-millionaire. And the beaches there are "private property" now.

How can one own a beach, I ask with tears in my eyes

 

[waquas_uk]

the pitch is turning and has good bounce

 

[Nauman]

Yes come on guys cut out the offtopic chit chat and get back to live commentary. Next offtopic post in this thread will be deleted.

 

[Nauman]

195/4 now

 

[UJ]

Might be worth bringing Akhtar back here. Cant let Flintoff settle.

 

[spongebob]

how is Paul 'Tendulkar' Collingwood playing now?

 

[nadeem]

"Cant let Flintoff settle."

He sounds like an unwanted pregnancy ) ) ) )

 

[immubhai]

same here. but i m flying on the same day when Gora team is coming back. I did my MS from Germany. (Bruchsal University). where u r studying. I have lots of frndz in Germany and also in Gulshan. My family living near Hillpark btw

i am not very far from Bruchsaal, I m in Stuttgart, doing a Praktikum, study in Lueneburg/HH.

 

[Nauman]

how is Paul 'Tendulkar' Collingwood playing now?

Has a few problems picking up Kaneria's wrong one but apart from that pretty well.

 

[Nauman]

i am not very far from Bruchsaal, I m in Stuttgart, doing a Praktikum, study in Lueneburg/HH.

immubhai consider this your first official warning, I said before that no more offtopic chit chat but seems like you conviniently decided to ignore that.

 

[immubhai]

Yes come on guys cut out the offtopic chit chat and get back to live commentary. Next offtopic post in this thread will be deleted.

sorry, got distraced during Tea khair, lets get back to cricket....Let the demolisher do the damage...Bring Rana the killer back

 

[UJ]

How many overs left in days play considering light issues?

 

[Ace Base]

One more wicket must fall before close of play. This will prevent England from getting a complete hold of the match.

I'm not sure how far England can go with 4 men down, but anything over 350 and Pakistan will be under pressure.

 

[immubhai]

immubhai consider this your first official warning, I said before that no more offtopic chit chat but seems like you conviniently decided to ignore that.

sure, accepted

 

[waquas_uk]

yeh shoaiby round the wicket soften freddy up

 

[Nauman]

How many overs left in days play considering light issues?

Plenty of light left, the play will atleast go for another 75 to 80 minutes.

 

[spongebob]

agree, anything around 300+ could cause us problems methinks

 

[pacman]

Flintoff gone

 

[immubhai]

i say, anything more than 350 would be alarming me.....lets hope our batting stick to this target

 

[immubhai]

Flintoff gone? by whom?
