[Cheguvera]

Afridi on strike...let's see what he does....

 

[iafzal]

Aridi to face the first ball . . .

 

[ajk88]

Lee is looking dangerous.

 

[Cheguvera]

looked pretty ordinary on that first ball...

 

[Cheguvera]

two in a row...

 

[who_dares]

watch out

 

[godzilla]

both of them look a bit asleep. bret lee just passed afridis edge twice.

 

[IAJ]

Brett Lee is bowling well here

 

[IAJ]

Afridi is trying his best to get out

 

[who_dares]

1-0 after 1

 

[iafzal]

Afridi stands and tries to defend misses not feet movement

 

[slix10]

Screw defense mode, hit it Afridi!

 

[Cheguvera]

on the pads...still hasn't used the bat....

 

[ajk88]

Just one off the first over.

1/0

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Why would you send Afridi to open on a cold, wet morning when the ball is SEAMING!!! ???.

It's a death wish.

 

[Poison]

Bit of seam movement from Lee.

 

[Cheguvera]

Finally Afridi plays one with the bat...

 

[Poison]

Not much swing around so far.

 

[godzilla]

forward defensive off the middle of the bat for afridid. rooooar.

 

[ajk88]

Afridi playing test cricket here.

 

[khilari]

aussies made the right call by deciding to chase.... bad for india

 

[Cheguvera]

4444444444 Afridi...

 

[who_dares]

here we go 44444444444

 

[ajk88]

444444444

 

[Poison]

Fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Poison]

Signaled his intentions. If its pitched up, its going long.

 

[Cheguvera]

followed by a single...very good batting...

 

[godzilla]

im not bothering with updates, cheguvara has some sort of time machine. either that or he can type much faster than me.

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Afridi is not taking the aerial route and purposely hitting the ball on the ground. Thats a good omen.

 

[who_dares]

Afridi playing test cricket here.

typical Pakistani fan comment

 

[Poison]

Now a single, well done to the strongest man in the world.

 

[godzilla]

[Cheguvera]

[who_dares]

[who_dares]

12-0 after 2

 

[IAJ]

Another four from afridi!

 

[Poison]

FOURRR MOREEE !

This pitch looks flat.

 

[abcanada]

is that afridi or yousuf............???????????

 

[slix10]

Thanks siddle for removing the pressure there.

12/0.

 

[Cheguvera]

balls staying low...pitch is uneven...

 

[Poison]

Little or no movement in the air so far.

 

[Cheguvera]

Akmal looks a bit out of it...

 

[godzilla]

terrible swipe by akmal.

 

[who_dares]

Thanks siddle for removing the pressure there.

12/0.

were we really under pressure

 

[godzilla]

FOURRR MOREEE !

This pitch looks flat.

they were two half volleys!

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

The ground is wet. The wind is blowing. Bret Lee is swinging the ball out. He just gave a nasty rising bouncer to Akmal, who looked petrified.

Only a matter of time before Akmal and Afridi are sipping hot tea.

 

[slix10]

Loose stroke from Akmal.

 

[pak4life]

good bowling nothing full for akmal to drive yet

 

[Cheguvera]

Akmal looks more unsure then Afridi...edge behind or chop on coming up...

 

[tauseefm]

its been long since pakistani batsmen have faced a real fast bowler

 

[who_dares]

13-0 after 3

 

[Poison]

they were two half volleys!

The ball was pitched up and DID NOT swing an ounce and came onto the bat of a certain Sahibzada very nicely.

 

[Ali888]

would love to see Siddle get smashed

 

[who_dares]

Afridi back on strike

 

[who_dares]

just a single this time around

 

[Poison]

Afridi is playing with his head, not his heart, which is telling him to thrash this overweight bowler to the moon.

 

[who_dares]

16-0 after 4 :akmal

 

[Cheguvera]

Akmal barely makes it...

 

[Cheguvera]

Dwyer is hanging with his aussie compatriots...

 

[who_dares]

Akmal keeping the calm in the middle

 

[itduzz]

Please play out Lee safely.

 

[Seen Sheen]

There were sort of wet dots on the pitch..Is it raining there..?if not then what are those strange dots?

 

[who_dares]

lolz @ akmals running away

 

[Poison]

Lee not bowling with the same pace as a few days ago. Barely hitting 143.

 

[Cheguvera]

Why does Lee have to wind up every time batsman drives the ball straight to him...and why do batsmen run off the pitch...they should stand their ground...

 

[who_dares]

afridi back on strike

 

[Poison]

Afridi )

 

[who_dares]

Some agreesion shown

 

[Cheguvera]

Afridi getting impatient...

 

[Cheguvera]

bouncer comin up

 

[ajk88]

17/0 after 5

 

[Amjid Javed]

Both pakistan batsmen struggling for timing here!

17/0

 

[who_dares]

Afridi losing his patience here

 

[Cheguvera]

Idiot Akmal sent Afridi back even though it was Afridi's call...almost a runout...

 

[who_dares]

17-0 after 5

 

[Poison]

Afridi losing his mind ) Went off his nut at Kamran after he nearly runs him out.

 

[ajk88]

444444444
