malik playing murali with ease (play him for 5 to 10 overs without giving him a wicket im sure he will panick and start doing differnt things!!!

 

[nafajafam]

[Geordie Ahmed]

[Tupac]

[Swaraj!!]

it might just rain .... weather there changes much faster than anywhere else

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

quit the damn negativity

 

[cornelius]

thanx cornelius... so people join in here from around the world or what? or is it mainly north america?

yeah we have all sorts.im somewhere in canada,lots from north america here.but i think most of the guys here are from uk.but cant say really,pakistan say bhee hain,quite a few from the middle east, a few from finland(not kidding) ausralia,all over.anyways,back to the game. CAVIN, is the ball swinging alot?its overcast right?

 

[samisback]

How long will Faisal's patience last?

inshAllah, im hoping miandad has given him a good lecture...so he wont throw it away.....looks solid so far...long may he continue...all the bedt to him..has played some lovely drives without any runs though...

 

[rizboy]

i think if these two can put on another hundred runs.. i think we might be in for a special finish...with afridi to come anything is possible...hence at york we say redefine the possible...he could do just that lol

 

[Raz]

Mahroof giving the eyes to Faisal

 

[cornelius]

[Swaraj!!]

The way things are, SL in tests shd play with only 3 bowlers....two alternating from one end the murali from the other. pack the remaining 8 with batsmen They hardly seem to use anyone else for more than half a dozen overs

 

[Raz]

Down the track and smashed down the track for 4 off Murali by Faisal

 

[rizboy]

muralis firgures look good 16 overs 22 runs with 2 wickets... damn... i hope it rains for like 10 mins and he gets hit by lightning nothing serious...just enough for him not to bowl today...hehe how is that for optimism

[rizboy]

damn i dont want the covers to be offf i want to win this

 

[Sheikh]

Rain

 

[PlanetPakistan]

i hope the pitch is well covered!
I dont want any moisture to sneak through!

 

[Lightning]

Damn just when we had the momentum. Those lucky lankans.

 

[samisback]

too be honest, im kinda disapointed now since i wanted too see some good cricket being played here by pak (which was exactly what they were doing

perhaps when we are 5 wickets down then it can rain for as long as .........

 

[Toony™®]

the umpires have called in the covers, probably as a
precautionary measure as it's not raining that heavily at the
moment, just few drops here and there.

 

[umarbeast]

whatever I am so glad the rain came. This is a almost impossible match to even save.

 

[Toony™®]

There is a ring of dangerous dark clouds looming large around the
ground and things are looking ominous,

 

[Lightning]

I was just about to leave and get some nachos and come watch Pak gind it out. Maaan!

 

[samisback]

i would be surprized if they come back and resume play today...no chance ...grounds filled with water......(i mean the covers

 

[pacman]

Allah ki rehmat hai. Baarish ai hai Pakistan ko bachane kei liye.

Thank God. It doesn't look like they will be out playing anytime soon. The less overs Pakistan have to face the better.

 

[Lightning]

It's getting better! Rain has stopped, only a slight drizzle now. But there is a large cloud cover yet.

 

[Sheikh]

We've lost a good 6-7 overs already and we should lose atleast another 10 more by the way things are looking!

 

[Waheed_one]

I wanted to Win

 

[Hash]

waheed khan - how were we suppose to win this match exactly?

 

[Sheikh]

I wanted to Win

Well if u had noticed the way the match has progressed and the way we have batted since the very beginning of the 2nd innings you would know that we're not looking for a win so please don't expect one!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I wanted to Win

We all did!..... 4 days ago

 

[samisback]

cav gives you the best possible news
play abandoned

 

[samisback]

damn these ary people now they are saying its stopped damn

 

[Sheikh]

Groundsmen are out. Not sure if they're just adjusting the covers or preparing to take them off. At the worst we might see a half hr of play before lunch

 

[Pathan007]

there's no rain. but justa precautaion

 

[Sheikh]

Oh no they're taking the covers off!!! By the looks of it we might have play in abt 15 mins or so. That would a tricky 8-10 over period before lunch. This could be vital to our chances!!

 

[nafajafam]

I would rather Pakistan fight it out and not be saved by the rain.... and now I run.

 

[Waheed_one]

Sorry guys all of you jumped on me.......................Miracles do happen.and Pak is King of come backs wins.

 

[Sheikh]

Ok this may take longer than I thought. By the looks of it they're slow to take the covers off and their soaking op parts of the outfield

 

[Waheed_one]

I would rather Pakistan fight it out and not be saved by the rain.... and now I run.

Waite for me!

 

[Sheikh]

I would rather Pakistan fight it out and not be saved by the rain.... and now I run.

Well then I suppose what you're saying is that we should be angry at Allah for making it rain?

 

[Sheikh]

Okay im gonna bring back my prediction to a tricky period of 4-5 overs before lunch!

 

[Saqib]

Pakistan to play in about 20 minutes time !

 

[slix10]

We need a combined effort of rain dances in lahori's thread please.

thanks for your concern.
