[w4s1m786]

this is a chance for sami to put things right if given the new ball its gonna be very tense for both teams

 

[the Great Khan]

chulo 1-0 down...at least we fought till the end....i hope he starts the bowling with akhter and shabbir..hope rana and afrid in fo the next match!..

 

[Nauman]

Wasnt this a no-ball it was way above his head? Or maybe I am missing a rule or two here.

 

[Amir]

As much as I want to agree, I think we have somewhat a competitive total(200 adds psychological) However lets get behind the boys!

 

[Amir]

chulo 1-0 down...at least we fought till the end....i hope he starts the bowling with akhter and shabbir..hope rana and afrid in fo the next match!..

Not over til the fat lady sings and Nauman is yet to open his voice

 

[Invictus]

197 in front. Its alright. Atleast we'll have a go at them right now. We can still do it. If we can get Tresco today thats all we need. I aint too worried about the rest get Tresco. Keep the ball angled across. Come on lads. We somewhat came back from a hole just finish the job. Show these pommies who they dealin with. It aint over till the fat lady sings and last time I checked Botham was'nt singing so it aint over yet.

 

[Billy]

Very tight finish anticipate I do.

 

[Amir]

No need to be modest Billy...

 

[the Great Khan]

cmon boys lets stick it to beefy!!

 

[kablooee87]

Gentlemen I believe the next half hour is precisely why we have Shoaib Akhtar on the team. We always say he can go for runs as long as he takes wickets. Well, this is when wicket(s), are needed as pakistan don't want england with a good start without a loss of wicket going into tomorrow.

 

[nedian21]

good to see Pakistan go down fighting. still we have a chance though a slim one.

 

[waquas_uk]

england vs aus 4th test

looking at that scorecard england do fail under pressure

there no vaughan and pieterson is playing with an injury

 

[DM]

May the wild winds of Akhtar and Sami descend furiously on England.

 

[F16]

I still hold that it is 50 - 50 Chances for both Pak and End .If Pak can take couple of wickets before the close of play then there will be pressure on England .

 

[the_game]

May the wild winds of Akhtar and Sami descend furiously on England.

DM, there is a limit to even the biggest of hopes. We are done for this test .

 

[Somali Pirate]

what the hell went on?when i left my house inzi and butt were batting.2 hours later and this happens!

 

[Amir]

SEeing wickets, that new ball really hurt us, shocked Inzi didn't play it.

 

[Vegitto1]

Ideal Secnario:

1.4: Akhtar Charghing In, The Crowd Right Behind Him. Approaches The Crease , And Bowled Em!!!
What A Ripper, Wht An Inswinger, Swung In 2 Foot From Outside Off-stump And The Off Stump Goes For A Walk.

Tresco Gone!

2.5: Shabbir Running Up To The Crease. Oh Wht A Peach. Just Nips Back In A Bit And Clips The Bails.

Struss Goes For 5. England 10-2

 

[Billy]

The last time England chased

 

[Anwar]

cmon shoaib! nws da time 2 step n bowl fast n furious spell

 

[Immy Ji]

Inshallah, keep the faith people! We'll see how it goes, chasing 198 on a deteriating batting track can be tricky!

 

[MIG]

Is Pieterson fit to bat ? has he taken the field today ?

 

[Vegitto1]

Dont Even Let Sami Touch The Ball

 

[Daoud]

Is Pieterson fit to bat ? has he taken the field today ?

Unfortunetely he took the last catch

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

MIG- yeah he was in the field.. he took his 1st ever test catch 2day aswell.. after
all them drop catches in the ashes lol...

 

[alghazzali]

Hiya Guys, just thought I'd pop in to see your reactions...............

On a side note, I'd like to say, yet another unlucky defeat for us.

Trescothick being the batsmen that propelled England to this score, was also out on 48, yet he goes onto create a winning position for his team.

My predictions for close of Play :

Eng 32-3 Trescothick 22*

 

[yk]

What do u guys reckon...198 to win?

I think we were 50 runs short.

 

[MIG]

No worries, remember from the English point of view, this is a very tricky session - Its not as clear cut as the first innings - they have to go for victory and they wouldnt want to take chances - Pak must apply pressure - some mental disintegration wont go amiss and plenty of appealing....yep lets do it the English way !

 

[akpower]

we atleast have something to defend. although its going to be hard to defend. the pitch isnt breaking up and our bowling lineup overall is just about average. surely need a couple of wickets before end of day's play.

 

[Vegitto1]

We Will Win By 50 Runs, Inshallah

 

[Bitman]

I'm not overly optimistic on this one.

 

[Daoud]

Very important - take all half chances that come our way and bowlers make sure their feet remain behind the front line at all times

 

[Vegitto1]

3 Of The First Over

 

[WasimG]

Beera, chuck the hell outa them.

 

[kablooee87]

Sami not opening?

 

[alghazzali]

Trescothick is one of the best at rotating strike and relieving pressure.

 

[DM]

DM, there is a limit to even the biggest of hopes. We are done for this test .

it's not likely but let's always hope

 

[WasimG]

Sami not opening?

Sami's a reserve bowler...u know incase Actor pulls another injury act.

 

[DM]

I know he was still bowling relatively quick, but did anyone else get the impression that Akhtar was struggling, and was almost preoccupied - despite the bouncer, not really aggressive towards the batsman - i'm wondering whether he's carrying and playing through that groin injury that took him off the field earlier in the match?

 

[Noddy]

the light will play a factor and if we can eke one out b4 then would be great.

Sami may well be suited to the older ball.....Lets hope Beera keeps his line probng and we have a chance.

 

[alghazzali]

1st 10 overs are crucial, these fools are doing themselves no favours by bowling outside the legstump line.

 

[F16]

what the hell went on?when i left my house inzi and butt were batting.2 hours later and this happens!

Now leave the house again and return after 1 hr and you will find a different result )

 

[Big Mac]

Bit of luck there, we've got to capitalise now. That was the big wicket

 

[WasimG]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[alghazzali]

GONE!!!!!b Tressers gone!!!

 

[kablooee87]

Yes

 

[zulfiqar]

Trescothick GONE

 

[MWH]

Beeeeeeerrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyyyyaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

 

[sars_pal]

yessssssssssssssssssssss yeah baby

 

[tahaqureshi]

shabbir takes tresco's stumps..

 

[Amir]

LOL I just went to pray Fajr and prayed for a wicket and what happens!

 

[WasimG]

Beera appeals after bowing him out. What a gentleman, and they call him a cheat ?

 

[alghazzali]

Pressures on England for this final session, can't wait!!

 

[Daoud]

The wicket we needed. Might be a good idea to bring Kaneria on. Both of these guys struggle against legspin

 

[Amir]

Sad to say, but looks like he is back to his old ways. Some balls look like he chucking others not.

 

[kablooee87]

England don't send in nightwatchman. This is a HUGe oppurtunity to dismiss and second Pure batsmen.

 

[tahaqureshi]

that wicket was the result of a wearing pitch. the ball kept low and tresco dragged it onto his stumps..

 

[Big Mac]

Argh, so close

 

[TaZ]

Sshhhaaaabiiiiirrr

 

[offstump]

shabbir causing all kinds of problems england under big pressure

 

[Daoud]

Sad to say, but looks like he is back to his old ways. Some balls look like he chucking others not.

It sounds wrong, but I couldnt care if hes chucking if he helps us win. Let them ban him after the match

 

[Amir]

Who wnats him dropped noW"!?!!??!!?!?

 

[the Great Khan]

forget the chuckin crap we should support him all the way..go beera..

 

[kablooee87]

Alright Akhtar v Bell

 

[sars_pal]

come on guys keep it tight bring on Danish now need to get bell out he cant play spion come on lets go!

 

[Amir]

SIX! Lucky shot good intent akthar

 

[alghazzali]

Lucky *U****

 

[Big Mac]

Inzi should go to him and say:

"The umpires will report you after the game and this is gonna be your last match for Pakistan so just go down all guns blazing. Chuck the hell out of everything and take a five-fer and then retire right after the match before they can suspend you"

 

[kablooee87]

Ahhh so close

 

[Noddy]

Can we get Bell also?

 

[Amir]

Can we get Bell also?

I dont know! you the inside man, you tell us!

 

[DM]

GO BEARDED GIANT GO!!

To those who believe in it, i don't want to jinx this but i am SO excited......- GO Pakistan!

 

[Amir]

OMG SO CLOSE! Where is Bullet EYe Razzaq when you need him

 

[Vegitto1]

Get Bell And Staruss And I Will Run Naked At Work

 

[kablooee87]

*is Reminded of razzaq hitting the stumps to get Sehwag*

 

[tahaqureshi]

close throw by younis

 

[shan]

run out chance miss

 

[zulfiqar]

I believe it was Sami with the throw... having a rough test , that he is!!

 

[Ace Base]

If Sami was bowling the score would be 51 for 1 instead of 15 for 1....

 

[Vegitto1]

Dont Let Sami Touch The Ball At All.
