Official Pakistan vs India 1st test - Day 3 thread [15/1/06]

[Mercenary]

Will India avoid the follow on?

Will the weather play spoilsport?

Will the Pakistani bowling make another flat track look like Perth again??

Only one way to find out

 

[peridot]

The forecast is cloudy weather.....the visibilty at this very moment 7:30 am is quite poor.

 

[peridot]

Sun wont come out.....pak should make use of the conditions.

 

[nafajafam]

Seems like we will lose many more overs today to the weather.

[DotCom]

"smoke" is a good way to describe the Karachi weather .. I thought in Lahore the atmoshphere was much cleaner ..

if its cloudy .. that will help Shoaib/Rana/Sami do some tricks .. Inshallah it will .. and we can pull a victory out of our back pockets !

 

[samisback]

we in india just had a good laugh at inzi wen he said they r goin to prepare 'aussie style' wicket....who was he trying to fool??..only pakistanis seam to have bought it!

We have no problems with the pitch..cos we know there can be only 2 results here a draw or an indian win..instead of a 3-0 we will probabaly win 2-0 or 1-0....so start praying that pak don loose a single toss in this series! (by an indian fan from day 2 thread)..........




btw who do they think they are still playing zimbabwe or srilanka?????????

 

[Easa]

I have a school holiday today. Sheikh Jaber has passed away. Inna Ilayhi Wa Inaa Ilahi Rajoon.

Is life unfair or what?

[offstump]

hahaha yes i know, just turned on the tv

 

[samisback]

why do u have to challenge my live n exclusives that too with cricinfo...who by the way is run by the indians , they even had razzak in the playing 11!!!!

 

[samisback]

hahaha yes i know, just turned on the tv

u have the live pictures but still u prefer cricinfo

 

[offstump]

yes mr.anand vasu is quite tricky

 

[offstump]

no i was on the computer first so thought i'd just check to see if play had started

 

[samisback]

umpires inspection at 10.30 pak time....so after half an hour will tell u more details!!!!

 

[waquas_uk]

i thought it was at 10

 

[peridot]

wo!!!....calm down cav.

I was very disappointed to know that play had been called off.....not anymore. A light drizzle means there will be something in the pitch for the bowlers.

 

[MecnunK]

well I am wondering if I should make my way downstairs yet, brew a coffee and join my father...is play likely soon?

 

[samisback]

yes mr.anand vasu is quite tricky

what do u expect.....they might get what they are wishing for..no more cricket for the day....imran already fears that!!!!!

 

[octavian]

hmmm if i was a weather man..then i would say will take another hour inshAllah...next inspections in around 30 min..........they started taking the covers off the drizzel stopped but it was really grey bad lights the issue now..lets hope the sun breaks through the clouds!

 

[waquas_uk]

[MIG]

Can anyone tell me what the experts are saying about the bowling conditions when plays starts ? Could this be good news for Pak bowlers as in English bowling conditions - favourable for swing etc ?

 

[RunInzyRun]

Good news:

05:00 GMT: Good news from Gaddafi Stadium Lahore is, rain has stopped and light is getting better, umpires says play will start at 10:30 local time

we would have to wait for that since they are showing the highlights still..when they go back to the studios imran n nasser would be in a better position to comment on that..but i reckon it should help the bowlers since conditions are very much alike to england...
