PAK vs WI 3rd Test 2nd Day

[Sheikh]

I think Gul may be in line for a promotion to the number 9 spot.

 

[darkmoon459]

Batting better then most of our so called Batting talents

 

[Genghis]

Gul doing well to keep Kaneria off strike.

 

[cricketcrazy]

awsome pull shot by GUL u go man

 

[darkmoon459]

pulled one for 4

 

[Sheikh]

Excellent flick-pull from Gul for 4!

 

[darkmoon459]

292/9

 

[Genghis]

Must be getting close to that 300?

 

[Sheikh]

Dani needs to give Gul some company and try to score off loose deliveries if he can.

 

[darkmoon459]

Must be getting close to that 300?

yeah 292 is very close to 300

 

[Genghis]

yeah 292 is very close to 300

you answered my question before I posted it ...

 

[darkmoon459]

Last ball off moore ,kaneria take 2 ,wow

 

[Sheikh]

Poor Dani hit on the same spot twice and in tremondous pain. Hope its not serious, though a runner would be nice.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

danish is down....o god let this not be serious

 

[Genghis]

Where did it hit 'em?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh man.......

 

[darkmoon459]

on the knee joint ,but seems like he is fine.

 

[Sheikh]

Just a knock; will be a bit of bruising but shouldn't effect his bowling.

 

[darkmoon459]

294/9

 

[Pathan007]

seems like dani will not be able to bowl 2day.

 

[darkmoon459]

edged one for 4 , gul is at 24 now.

 

[darkmoon459]

298/9

 

[Sheikh]

4 by Gul down to 3rd man.

298-9

 

[UJ]

If its affecting Danish's running then Gul will have to continue this brutal assault and look to clear the rope with some ferocious hitting!

 

[Genghis]

Knees is fine I guess ... I thought it might have been his hand which would have been bad news.

 

[UJ]

Moves onto 24* now

 

[PlanetPakistan]

is this an indication of good the pitch is or is ti simply good batting?

 

[Genghis]

Is this Gul's highest score?

 

[Genghis]

is this an indication of good the pitch is or is ti simply good batting?

Hoping its just an indication of how luck plays a big part in cricket.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Is this Gul's highest score?

si

 

[darkmoon459]

this time kaneria edges for 4 ,pakistan 302/9

 

[Usman Chadda]

Must say Gul has batting talent. Wonder why he is sent below Nazir...

Pakistan's 300 up thanks to no.10 and 11. Good batting by these two

 

[Genghis]

si

And Kaneria's?

 

[Sheikh]

Edged 4 by Danish and the 300's up!!

Decent score this. It gives the bowlers something to work with.

 

[darkmoon459]

Imran farhat is the runner for danish

 

[Genghis]

300 up ... well done BOYZ

 

[UJ]

Gul was batting well vs England as well.

 

[Pathan007]

pitch is absolute belter. nothing for the bowler.

 

[Genghis]

My crapinfo came back to life ... it says Gul was dropped last over?

 

[darkmoon459]

appeal for lbw ,not out going down the legside

 

[PlanetPakistan]

that was out

 

[Usman Chadda]

Imran farhat is the runner for danish

Oh dear...

 

[Sheikh]

2 more to Gul.

304-9

 

[darkmoon459]

My crapinfo came back to life ... it says Gul was dropped last over?

crapinfo is crap ,it was edge thru the slips ,was not a chance

 

[PlanetPakistan]

And Kaneria's?

i think he has scored more....IIRC he scored a few at Headingly

 

[darkmoon459]

gul bowled by powel ,a inswinger got him.

 

[Sean]

Why has this not been stickied yet?

 

[darkmoon459]

pakistan all out for 304

 

[UJ]

Out for 26...not bad!

 

[Sheikh]

Challo not bad. Would have liked 25-30 more but at one point it looked like we were limping to 275. Now if we can pick up a wicket or 2 before lunch then we're right back in the game.

 

[Genghis]

Ahhh well ... 300 is something to bowl at

 

[Usman Chadda]

Excellent batting by Gul and Kaneria. We wouldnt have reached 300 if it hadnt been for these two

 

[darkmoon459]

i think he has scored more....IIRC he scored a few at Headingly

Kaneria's highest test score is 29.

 

[Genghis]

Its not a bad situation for Pak. Our bowlers have got an hour to bowl all out at windies, and then they can come back rejuvenated after lunch as well.

 

[Sheikh]

Hopefully this will give Gul some confidence. The ball that got him came back viciously and if he can put the ball in the same sort of areas he'll be quite a handfull.

 

[darkmoon459]

Gul and Nazir should do well on this pitch ,odd bounce as well as ball is keeping low.I see WI batsmen to struggle as we did ,specially Gayle ,Ganga and shiv but brian lara is still a threat .

 

[Genghis]

Remember windies have added an extra batsmen this test match as well in the form of Sarwan. Its important to get some early wickets and put pressure on Lara with the new ball.

 

[Genghis]

Crapinfo's comment for end of innings -
Gul and Kaneria added 32 valuable runs for the last wicket and took the score beyond 300 on what looks like a difficult wicket to score runs with the ball keeping low. West Indies came up with good performance with the main stream bowlers chipping in with vital wickets. Collymore was the pick of the bowlers hitting the deck consistently and ending up with 3 wickets against his name including the key wicket of Yousuf.

I think Gul and Nazir could be dangerous with their probing line and length.

 

[darkmoon459]

so now the question is whats pakistan game plan here.

 

[darkmoon459]

very first ball from gul and appeal for lbw ,denied

 

[Genghis]

Are the windies batsmen onto the pitch yet ... its been almost 15 mins since the last wicket ... or are they having an early lunch.

 

[Genghis]

Game on now!!!

 

[darkmoon459]

Gayle and ganga openning WI inning

 

[Pathan007]

that was PLUMB yet not given.

 

[Sheikh]

Gul beats the bat. We need some luck here to pick up a wicket.

 

[darkmoon459]

end of the first over WI 4/0 ,gayle at 4 ,ganga yet to take the strike.

 

[Sheikh]

Now Nazir beats the bat.

 

[Genghis]

Come on Nazir!!!

 

[darkmoon459]

and again beats the bat

 

[darkmoon459]

beautiful drive by ganga for 4 ,

 

[hasan316]

Wi 8-0

 

[Genghis]

Wi 8-0

Hey Hasan ... happy with the start for your team?

 

[darkmoon459]

13/0

 

[Pathan007]

nothing in the pitch as Pak batting suggested. absolute beauty batting strip.

 

[hasan316]

Hey Hasan ... happy with the start for your team?

Yeah man but Gayle has to play a long innings. Its been a long time since he scored 100.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

good ball

 

[Genghis]

nothing in the pitch as Pak batting suggested. absolute beauty batting strip.

Still a little early to make those assumptions

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Kaneria is coming back.....good news

 

[Genghis]

Yeah man but Gayle has to play a long innings. Its been a long time since he scored 100.

I would rather Gayle and Lara leave their big scores for the next test series.

 

[Pathan007]

Still a little early to make those assumptions

yea right. tell me when the days ends
