Pak Vs Sri |day 5|1st Test

[Sheikh]

Main cover off now. Play probably gonna start in abt 20 mins.

 

[lahori]

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

thanks for your concern.

Everyone please chip in: http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?t=20290

Let's all dance together! we can do this !

 

[Sheikh]

No more rain boys. That was a passing shower. Suns out. Completely bright now. We probably have about 70 overs left to negotiate. I think we can do it. Must make it to lunch without losing a wicket!

[samisback]

let the battle continue.............................

malik on 49*
lets see if he can score a fifty in the very first over

2 and a half hours of testing cricket awais pakistan!

 

[Hash]

naraz? kyun bhai?

Are you missing parathas and lassi or have I offfended you in some other way?

 

[tahaqureshi]

Pakistan will either lose it or win it. I don't see Pakistan drawing it. Reason being that if we do end up playing out the remaining overs of the day..the singles, boundaries that will come along they way will eventually bring us very close to the original target becaseu we still have MANY overs to go.

So either we'll lose wickets and lose the match..OR we'll play out the overs..and in the process get reasonably close to the target.

 

[samisback]

**Are you missing parathas and lassi **

[tahaqureshi]
