[DotCom]

[waquas_uk]

[RunInzyRun]

Support on the same theory from Cricinfo:
[UPDATE: 0505 GMT/1035 IST/1005PST]: We have some good news.
There's a strong chance that play will start in about 25 minutes
at 1030 Paksistan time, 1035 IST. We will keep a close eye on
proceedings and be back then.

 

[waquas_uk]

thats about 10 mins from now

 

[samisback]

wet outfield maybe ? ball will not spin / but pacers need to use the conditions !

fortunatly we have 3 pacers.......so they can keep on going till lunch.....and after lunch the outfeild will dry out more inshAllah then the spinners can come in.......

 

[samisback]

DOLA RAAY DOLLA

 

[samisback]

imran says u will find that the bowl will swing more the atmosphere is heavy the moistures around.............but looking at the pitch no grass no green so......means this pitch is not going to detoriate..........lil hope for pakistan conditions stay the same lil grass might grow......

 

[samisback]

nasser says and hope for the spinners as well since india have 3 left handers n their is some ruff to help the spinners esp at leftys............btw how many of u are actually following n relying on my commentery if u dont mind me asking???

 

[samisback]

rana bowling to sehwag.....gud news peeps..lets see what happens let the battle commence

 

[DotCom]

how will little grass grow ? just because of the moisture .. grass cant grow that fast .. that it will change the wicket ? I can see after a week maybe ?lol

but the air/swing will be the ALLY ..

and the rough patches for the perfect spinners' delivery

 

[pacman]

[samisback]

[Raz]

Sehwag gets a 4 through mid on, overpitched delivery punished.

 

[rayhan]

[samisback]

Mike Holding and Rameez on commentry. Mikey and his lovely deep voice..sigh

Rameez saying Rana is not an "express bowler, he is a medium pace"? What's Rameez on about?

[samisback]

[Raz]

Akhtar to bowl at the other end.

71-0, first ball a dot ball.

[samisback]

but on the money....still carrying on with a short run up!

 

[RunInzyRun]

Shoaib Akthar bowling

 

[rayhan]

Morn' Cav

Akhtar on bowling....generating some pace here. Dravid blocking well. Dravid seems to have excellent temprement even as an opener. *shocking*

 

[inzidabest]

Rana looking average. Can shoab akhtar do anything?

 

[Raz]

Single to mid on, brings Sehwag on strike

 

[samisback]

[samisback]

whacked 4 !! over the slips

 

[Raz]

Uppercut for 4 to the point boundary.

 

[zushy_786]

13.6 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, FOUR, leg-stump half-volley and that is
like serving an aloo parantha to Sehwag early in the morning,
polished off in some style through midwicket

) )

 

[rayhan]

Shoaib getting spanked for a 4 down 3rd man.

76-0

 

[samisback]

[rayhan]

Brekkie time for me...see you lot in a bit.

 

[samisback]

alrighty peeps im taking a backseat now...when it heats up a bit will be back!!!

 

[samisback]

btw i think sami would be more effective then rana right now!!

 

[RunInzyRun]

Shoaib to dravid
Dravid: No run
Dravid: No run
Dravid: one run
Sehwag: Sehwag smashes it, four runs, Akmal screams catch it!
Sehwag: ducks, short ball
Sehwag: ducks again
End of over, 76 for no loss.

 

[inzidabest]

yups get sami on. wicket is what Pakistan need. India will look to play natural

 

[RunInzyRun]

Me too, going to get some shut eye so I can be up and ready for the real excitment instead of watching Sehwag and Dravid defend...

 

[Oxy]

OK. I'll take over.

Someone comes into bowl. And someone blocks. No run

 

[Raz]

Leg stump delivery hit for 4 by Dravid.

 

[inzidabest]

Indian batsmen hammering the bowlers

 

[Raz]

84-0

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lacklusture bowling by Rana and Shoaib so far! Rana bowling leg-side and being continuously punished. Akhtar bowling off a short run-up

Good start by India - 84/0

 

[Oxy]

How long before we get cries of 'Rana is crap'...or 'Shoaib is taking the ****' etc.

670 odd in the bank...I'm off to sleep!

I have no idea why I stayed up so late knowing I wasnt watching the game!!!

 

[kablooee87]

Too many short balls from Shoaib. He needs to bowl a full deliver once in a while.

 

[Raz]

90.6mph from Shoaib.

 

[samisback]

finally some steam put in by akhtar.....hes not very happy with the footmarks for some reason i reckon thats playing on his mind.............but is generating some pace now he comes in bowls to sehwag n : a no ball but 90+ again

 

[samisback]

aa almost a catch btw the gap through the slips

 

[Raz]

Cut for 4 by Sehwag

 

[samisback]

i can see a slower ball coming up soon by pindi express

 

[samisback]

bang 4........with tha t50 to sehwag

 

[Raz]

[Oxy]

[inzidabest]

Inzy continuin with Naved

 

[deadly_man]

So where are those people who were saying that wicket will become bowler friendly as soon as pak wi;ll start bowling.
pak fast bowler got more stick than indian fast bowler in initial overs.
Isnt it funny grewat **** fast bowler are going @5 r un per over in test match
and people were making mimicry of pathan and agarkar who are medium swing bowler and bowling on seamless condition astill they were bowling more tight .

 

[samisback]

if rana keeps on bowling like this dravids going to be more then happy all day long just blocking !!bring sami on ...atleast hes unpridictable
