PAK vs WI....1st test match: Day 4 from Lahore! Pak win by 9 wickets

[PlanetPakistan]

Starts after 32 mins...

 

[darkmoon459]

30 minutes to go ,Hoping that pakistan will finish off rest of the WI ,Its not gonna be easy lara been there ,but its doable.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Who should we open the bowling with?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pakistan has victory in sight here but in all honesty though I want to see a lara special just cause i haven't seen one in the longest time. alongside, of course, an eventual pakistan win as every other west indian batsman is taken apart

 

[darkmoon459]

Who should we open the bowling with?

well usual suspect Gul & nazir ,should take adventage of first hour or so and get couple of wickets. My gut feeling says it will be a Razzak and Danish "special" today.Either way Good luck to Pakistan and Inshlah we will win.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Ok jee time too hoo gaya ha.....

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Nazir to open the bowling.....2 runs for BCL

 

[PlanetPakistan]

feel a bit lonely today...where is everybody?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Big over for the WI.....

 

[cinderella]

I don't usually watch test matches...but this one looks good.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I don't usually watch test matches...but this one looks good.

Test cricket is the real deal...True 'test' of both mental and physical skill...

 

[Daoud]

Lara would be ideal, but for now getting Edwards would be a good start

 

[Hash]

Lara looks in ominous form.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Bad start for PAK....but i guess it's typical Gul!

 

[cinderella]

Test cricket is the real deal...True 'test' of both mental and physical skill...

Nah the chaka chawka and wickets are better,

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Nah the chaka chawka and wickets are better,

then i bet you love 20 20 cricket....or how about double wicket cricket...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

this Edwards guy is no mug with the bat!!

 

[Hash]

Edwards is skating on thin ice.

 

[darkmoon459]

good over by nazir.

 

[DotCom]

Lara needs to go ... he wont give it up easily ...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

well bowled Nazir....

 

[darkmoon459]

leg glance by lara for 4.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

4444444

 

[darkmoon459]

another 4 for lara

 

[PlanetPakistan]

U Gul= Pakistani Harmison....Brilliance mixed with rubbish

 

[Hash]

that last one was a good ball. A bit of luck for Brian.

 

[Daoud]

Lara taking Gul apart. Play your masterclass Lara, as long as wickets fall on the other end

 

[PlanetPakistan]

that was a good though.....unlucky

 

[DotCom]

good comparison ..

in another words .. wayward ..

 

[Hash]

Harmisson isn't fit to lick Gul's smelly sweaty socks.

 

[darkmoon459]

Ok Inzi thats enough of Gul and Nazir ,bring on Kaneria.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Harmisson isn't fit to lick Gul's smelly sweaty socks.

Old Trafford anyone

 

[UJ]

U Gul= Pakistani Harmison....Brilliance mixed with rubbish

Just watch, Gul will take another 5 this innings

 

[Hash]

Old Trafford anyone

yeah what about it? Every dog has his day dude.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Ok Inzi thats enough of Gul and Nazir ,bring on Kaneria.

Patience...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yeah what about it? Every dog has his day dude.

7 for 12.....Kingston Jamaica

 

[Hash]

7 for 12.....Kingston Jamaica

yeah?

Doesn't change my opinion.

Where was Harmisson when he was Gul's age? And at the same stage in Gul's career?

 

[darkmoon459]

Both of aur seamers are struggling ,and can't even get their line right.so its time for a change ,this the time kaneria will cause lots of trouble to lara and specially to edwards.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

25.5 Nazir to Edwards, no ball, Nazir fires in the lethal yorker, Edwards does well to dig it out, Nazir oversteps on that occasion

Inzi bhai please take note....This Faisalabadi is no joke!

 

[darkmoon459]

almost taken by hafeez ,nice try though

 

[Hash]

tough catch dropped by Hafeez.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yeah?

Doesn't change my opinion.

Where was Harmisson when he was Gul's age? And at the same stage in Gul's career?

English players start late

 

[Hash]

English players start late

and finish early (at least in Harmisson's case)

 

[PlanetPakistan]

6.1 Gul to Lara, no run, short of length delivery angling away from the left hander, Lara goes on the backfoot and looks to steer it away, in the air, flies to the right of Hafeez at gully, he dives across and manages to get a hand to it, that did not stick, these sort of catches tend to stick and that one did not!!!

this could have been the test match ....but can't blame M Hafeez

 

[SUPERSAMI]

141 kph sharp pace by Gul

 

[PlanetPakistan]

and finish early (at least in Harmisson's case)

man i agree he is a bit overrated but not as bad as you make him out to be

 

[darkmoon459]

Nazir strikes ,edwards gone.

 

[Daoud]

End of Edwards nuisance innings. Now Chanderpaul

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Umar has settled down...i would like to think that InsAllah now it's just a matter of time

 

[UJ]

English players start late

Harmison had almost no control early on in his career - he used to spray it around all over the place. Gul has decent control but needs to bowl a length that will compliment his speed.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

out hooing......

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Nazir is the MAN!!

 

[Hash]

bound to happen. was only a matter of time.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

bound to happen. was only a matter of time.

yep....that's what someone said on the previous page

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Gul vs the new batsman....should be good

 

[darkmoon459]

OMG Intkhaib alam "sleeping pill" is on commentating.

 

[UJ]

OMG Intkhaib alam "sleeping pill" is on commentating.

Amnesia sufferers around the world are signing up to ARY as we speak.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

28.4 Gul to Chanderpaul, no run, superb delivery on the off, a bit of lateral movement off the track along with the angle, Chanderpaul looks to play at it and is beaten by the late swing

Shabash aisay hee rakhoo

 

[Hash]

106 for 4

I am off to bed. Sleep time.

 

[Sheikh]

Both bowlers finding their groove here.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Allah Hafiz

 

[Bailan]

both Nazir and Gul really making the batsmen work for their runs

Lara has been on 48 for about 20 mins or so now ... may be even more

Nazir & Gul to the rescue

 

[Sheikh]

Very good over by Nazir. Asking questions with every delivery.

 

[Sheikh]

Absolute beauty by Gul. Shiv had no idea.

 

[darkmoon459]

well played lara . now its time for you 2 go.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

50 for lara

 

[Sheikh]

50 to Lara.

Fighting a lone battle once again.

 

[Sheikh]

These two have had 5 overs each in this spell. They'll probably have 2 more each, before Kaneria comes on and bowls 22 straight until the new ball is due.

 

[Daoud]

Good knock by Lara. Hopefully its a boy on a burning bridge one though

 

[PlanetPakistan]

ahhhh goes between 3rd slip and gully

 

[PlanetPakistan]

These two have had 5 overs each in this spell. They'll probably have 2 more each, before Kaneria comes on and bowls 22 straight until the new ball is due.

I'll be seriously considering Malik too.....2 left handers, 4th day pitch.....

 

[karachiite]

Gul's gettin some good lift from a supposedly dead wicket.

 

[Sheikh]

Razzaq will give Kaneria support for about a 4-6 over spell after which Shoaib Malik will partner Kaneria. Hafeez may even get a chance to bowl. Gul and Nazir probably won't bowl much untill the new ball. Lets hope we've taken a wicket or two by the time we do get the new ball because if Ramdin or Mohammad are exposed, the match could be over.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Danish on to bowl

 

[Sheikh]

We're looking at the start of a looooong spell here.

 

[karachiite]

Good turn for Kaneria but he needs to get his line right

 

[Sheikh]

They should go up for that. Shiv is just kicking the ball away from off-stump. Warne goes up for stuff like that and often, directly or indirectly, gets decisions his way.

 

[Sheikh]

Very good over by Danish. Good signs there. One wicket before lunch and we're well and truly on our way.

 

[inzidabest]

Razzaq. Your chance to cement your place as a 3rd pacer.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

So many ninjas in the crowd
