umps called lunch

Eng 371-6

Lead by 97

Trescothick 189*

 

[WasimG]

I hate lunch breaks. Have to wait (and stay up) for 40 mins now.

 

[catwoman]

2 wickets from Shoaiby in this session...wooohooooo.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

one of which was a tailender

 

[Daoud]

Inzi doesn't have faith in Sami right now, and has been pretty expensive....

Yeah, but even anyone with half a brain cell knows that Jones struggles to face quick straight balls on offstump. Which bowler in the Pakistani team exclusively bowls quick (and straightish) balls?

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Hes done better than sami and shabbir

 

[catwoman]

one of which was a tailender

A wicket nonetheless.

 

[Daoud]

True, whether you like Shoaib or not, he has been our best bowler, and now Monsee's excuse wont even apply

 

[zorawar]

then wats the point of putting him on? shouldnt sami be put on so that the ball can be delivered fast and swinging....otherwise jones isnt going to get out....

HAHAH Sami and swing??????

Shoaib was bowling slower to Tresco ... He bowled 140+ to Jones...

Hopefully after lunch we can clean the last 4 wkts fast.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Spot on!

 

[catwoman]

He has always been our best bowler and will always be as well!

Where is Monsee hiding?

 

[Awesome Anjum]

He has always been our best bowler and will always be as well!

I agree with you

 

[Daoud]

He has always been our best bowler and will always be as well!

Where is Monsee hiding?

Ahead of Imran, Wasim and Waqar?

 

[zaf1986]

Pietersen 0 - Kaneria 1

I hence conclude, that Kaneria is better than Warne.

All tongue in cheek, of course

 

[Daoud]

Pietersen 0 - Kaneria 1

I hence conclude, that Kaneria is better than Warne.

All tongue in cheek, of course

At age 24, that statement would be pretty close to the truth

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

salaam guys just gpt up

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

could u gimme a run down

 

[zaf1986]

At age 24, that statement would be pretty close to the truth

Obviously still early to say, but despite Warne getting 40 wickets, Pietersen in particular played him with relative ease. He hasn't be allowed to settle on this tour, and hasn't even been able to get into double figures yet

 

[zaf1986]

could u gimme a run down

371/6

Tresco 189 not out
Jones 3 not out

Shoaib 2 wickets
a wkt a piece to the rest.

 

[hasan316]

Shoaib go destroy england.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

thank u zaf

bw howz sami been bowling

beeray looks liek hes keeping the tight line

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

and shoiab look like hes been bowling wuick

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if we can get the tail anf d al out for next 60-70 that would be impreswsive

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

thn we could be just with a hope

 

[Oxy]

Gentle Reminder:-

Can we please NOT discuss ILLEGAL means of watching this game on PakPassion.

Thanks.

 

[hasan316]

i guess monsee is asleep

 

[Rob H]

So Shoaib knocked over a tailender and he got Flintoff out playing a slog and all of a sudden he is some sort of god.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well struck by geraint jones off of shabby ahmed for 4

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if we can get eng with the lead no more than 175 we are still in with a chance

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

an even better punch thru covers by jones for 4 dam shabby wasting the new ball...

 

[Billy]

If you're quick you could probably knock them over for not much over 400. If you let Jones, and later, Giles, get settled then it might be closer to 500. An interesting session awaits.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

2 4 feraint

RH we see a better shaoib than b4 as an improvement in his play

he no god

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 shot for 4 by trsco he moves onto 193 looking good on his way to 200

 

[Raz]

Akhtar driven for 4

 

[Oxy]

Thats Blasphemous RH!!! Everyone knows that there is only one God, and Afridi is HIS name

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

as icing on the cake tresco is now the highest test run scorer in 2005 with 1220 runs at an avg of 67.78

 

[Rob H]

Good aggressive start to the session.

 

[MIG]

so hows it going lads ?

Apparently cyanide is quite quick - but the jump in front of a Lahore Rickshaw is also painless...

 

[Oxy]

In only 19 games!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Oxy]

For who? The rickshaw?

 

[Daoud]

As it is, he has a better average and strike rate than any of your lot

 

[Raz]

I take it you've tried it

 

[MIG]

Good aggressive start to the session.

RH:

For you and Billy ...

Leave him be! Its the best net session he's had in years!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 lb down to fine leg...

 

[Raz]

Shabbir bowls down the leg side- 4 leg byes.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Omng I Take It Back Tresco Gone For 193 Omg *bows To Shabby*

 

[Oxy]

Very Aggressive start by Eng- clear game plan.

Very lack-lustre and lethargic start by Pakistan.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

finally gone but i feel for tresco he deserved the double ton

 

[Billy]

Damn those nervous 190's.

 

[nafajafam]

tresco out. finally!!!

 

[WasimG]

Tresco out to an ordinary ball. And they were trying hard for two days.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

we should now look to wrap this up under 400

 

[MIG]

Shabbir to Trescothick, out Caught by Akmal!! COmes round the wicket and gets this right in line, Trescothick looks to take away the bat at the last moment, gets a faint outside edge and goes straight to Kamran, Monumental innings from Trescothick has come to an end! M Trescothick c K Akmal b S Ahmed 193(305) 4s-20 6s-2

 

[Raz]

Shabbir strikes against the run of play! Well played Tresco!!

 

[Oxy]

.....MIG, I hope you havent resorted to the cyanide just yet!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Tresco out to an ordinary ball. And they were trying hard for two days.

ball was not too bad it shaped away slightly and barely kissed the edge of tresco

 

[Raz]

Lead is 114. If we can run through the tail and restrict the lead to less than 140 it wont be that bad.

 

[Oxy]

I hope Shabbir doesnt think that by bowling unspectacular/ordinary deliveries, he can mop up the tail.

Tresco must be livid getting out to that one!

 

[MIG]

Better put away cyanide for the moment....

 

[zaf1986]

Damn those nervous 190's.

I think he's caught the disease off Vaughan.

Well played Tresco. Real captain's knock.

Now Pak should be looking to clean up the tail not letting Eng score too many more than 400.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon akhtar bhai lets mop this up and get ur 5fer

 

[Daoud]

Well played Tresco. Now Will we get them before 400 and bat like the pitch is the feather bed it is

 

[MIG]

Well my Jinx finally worked about 193 runs later....Win some, lose some eh ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Well my Jinx finally worked about 193 runs later....Win some, lose some eh ?

we should hope to move those 193 displaced runs to hasan raza

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

come on beeray well done lad

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

g jones smashes akhtar for 4 thru covers

 

[MIG]

Jeet gaay Jeet gaay - time for a celebratory jig on top of my office desk......( sounds of man falling off desk with a thud followed by , "hai bechara Dil ka ach aadmee tha...." )

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by another even better looking eng moves to 396 with another cracking shot from jones

 

[Raz]

Akhtar smashed for 2 fours in a row.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

lets hope shaoib foired foranother over now

 

[Raz]

Shabbir has a chance at Giles. Needs to make it count.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shabby should try as many yorks as he can on giles

 

[Raz]

Jeet gaay Jeet gaay - time for a celebratory jig on top of my office desk......( sounds of man falling off desk with a thud followed by , "hai bechara Dil ka ach aadmee tha...." )

What happened to the poor desk? Thats ok isnt it?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 ball to wizz past outside edge of giles

 

[MIG]

Shabbir should pick up one of the stumps and throw it as a Javelin at the batsman - will he be called for throwing then ? ( tongue in cheek - nod -nod - wink type humor alert.... )

 

[MIG]

Its only fair that GJones is removed by Akhtar....itne phainty jo parri hai!

 

[Raz]

Shabbir should pick up one of the stumps and throw it as a Javelin at the batsman - will he be called for throwing then ? ( tongue in cheek - nod -nod - wink type humor alert.... )
