Pakistan v Australia | First Test | Day 3: Session 3 | Lord's

[ZAK]

2 to Salman.

 

[Paradox]

106/1

 

[ZAK]

1 to SB.

 

[ZAK]

109/1

 

[imshally81]

only 3 overz are remaining

 

[iZeeshan]

Extremely attacking field set.

Go over the top

 

[Paradox]

.. Just say we need 320 by the end of the day - tomorrow, the team should go out there and think, we're 0/0, and need 320 to win in two days of batting on (hopefully) a flat track. And we don't have Farhat. Simple as.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

109-1

Need to ensure we dont lose a wicket now

 

[Desire]

think butt has decided thats it for the day. any run from here is a bonus

 

[iZeeshan]

So is it confirmed that we're going to end after 3 overs, or play till 7 PM

 

[imshally81]

what a abnormal field for SB

 

[AZ]

If only it was that easy eh

Im delighted with the position we are in BUT we are still miles away from even thinking about winning this game, miles away

 

[Inswinger]

How many overs left for today?

 

[iZeeshan]

He should continue to try and score.

Playing so defensive at the end of the day is bad.

 

[Paradox]

Almost stumps.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

think butt has decided thats it for the day. any run from here is a bonus

Good thinking really - no need to do anything daft now

 

[chui_kadoo]

that was close. My heart was in my mouth for a second

 

[NorthStar]

Lucky Butt, nearly spooned a catch.

 

[AZ]

ufffffffff too close!

 

[chui_kadoo]

butt looking shaky

 

[Rana]

hang in there

 

[anakwalajinn]

I think the test team looks better unde afridi than yousuf. Thats a good sign, isnt it?

 

[PakPassionate]

meri dar k maray phat rahi hai

 

[chui_kadoo]

2 overs left

 

[bobwoolmersarmy]

ooooooooooooooooh sh t

 

[Wazeeri]

Good captaincy from Ponting

 

[imshally81]

only 2 overz are remaining

 

[pakmania]

Man I feel sick ! Too much nerves

 

[cricfan967]

Getting nervous here

 

[Paradox]

GA, we're miles away from even thinking of DRAWING this game

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to rotate the strike rather then get bogged down!!!

 

[BAADSHAH]

They'll play till 6:49pm

 

[iZeeshan]

See, this is what happens when you try to play overly defensive!

Play your natural game!

 

[anakwalajinn]

I think umar akmal will come at 4

 

[Arsh_afridi]

BUtt Bach nahi sakta......OUT ho jaye ga last over tak ....

 

[ZAK]

2 to Azhar.

 

[iZeeshan]

GA, we're miles away from even thinking of DRAWING this game

tbh, it's easier to win than to draw

 

[chui_kadoo]

nicely flicked for 2 by Azhar

 

[imshally81]

2 runz for azhar ali

 

[anakwalajinn]

111/1
so we should win this 444/4

 

[ZAK]

Single to Azhar.

 

[iZeeshan]

They'll play till 6:49pm

That's random. WHy not 7?

 

[Paradox]

Very very interesting stage of play. Nervous from Butt.

Let's hope one of their bowlers don't decide to do a Siddle vs Yousuf, that last over of the day was just immense!

 

[imshally81]

Tense time in the final few overs of the day for the batsman...a nightwatchman will be padded up
from crapinfo

 

[Desire]

how many overs left for the day??

 

[Boi]

Cut away for one by Azhar.

 

[iZeeshan]

111/1
so we should win this 444/4

) ) There it is. :younis

Great shots from Azhar.

 

[cricfan967]

1 over after this am i right?

 

[1two3]

Bob Willis saying that "playing for a draw does not come naturally to that young man" referring to Afridi

True.. He Plays to win but Ultimately stands at the loosing side.

 

[anakwalajinn]

I am gonna be nervous all day tomorrow why couldnt we be 83/10 tonight 2 sixies from afridi 1 from gul

 

[PakPassionate]

how many overs left for the day??

Chup kerrrr




just kidding.....yaar bar bar pooch rahy ho blood pressure barh gia mera

 

[iZeeshan]

Very very interesting stage of play. Nervous from Butt.

Let's hope one of their bowlers don't decide to do a Siddle vs Yousuf, that last over of the day was just immense!

Or Younus vs Kumble was it? Harbajhan? Yuvraj?

 

[ZAK]

112/1

 

[Paradox]

And Zeeshan - of course, to draw the game we'll need to be there at the end of Day 5.. and if we're there, it's going to be a win.

 

[iZeeshan]

I am gonna be nervous all day tomorrow why couldnt we be 83/10 tonight 2 sixies from afridi 1 from gul

Thats' what I said earlier. They like to do this to us. Give us hope. Most likely false hope.

It's a great marketing strategy, I guess.

 

[Wazeeri]

Butt is going to give me a heart attack

 

[AZ]

meri dar k maray phat rahi hai

LOL

mere to 2 ghantey pehle phat chuki thi

 

[Desire]

there was easy 2 there...

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt needs to play a shot.

he's going to get himself out!

 

[Mohsin]

Play ends at 7pm

 

[anakwalajinn]

Dara diya hilfi ne

 

[rhussain33]

.. Just say we need 320 by the end of the day - tomorrow, the team should go out there and think, we're 0/0, and need 320 to win in two days of batting on (hopefully) a flat track. And we don't have Farhat. Simple as.

With Farhat in the team were more or less one wicket down anyways

 

[Paradox]

Or Younus vs Kumble was it? Harbajhan? Yuvraj?

I don't know - the only one I remember in recent times, a super final over/spell of the day, is Siddle v Yousuf.. and he ended up taking the wicket in the fourth/fifth ball. Epic.

 

[dhump]

last over of the day guys ???

 

[NorthStar]

Azhar Ali reminds me of Hasan Raza.

 

[Desire]

Chup kerrrr




just kidding.....yaar bar bar pooch rahy ho blood pressure barh gia mera

ok ok... ssssshshhhhhhh.. let the time pass

 

[iZeeshan]

Very, very solid from Azhar Ali

 

[deviously~fading~away]

This is why I love test cricket-

After setting those two close in fielder for Butt & Butt struggling due to that, next over last bowl butt plays a shot but doesn't take a single b/c he doesnt want to face Ben again with 'that' field set.

Would you ever see that in T20 Cricket? Never!

I love Ricky's captaincy

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Thats' what I said earlier. They like to do this to us. Give us hope. Most likely false hope.

It's a great marketing strategy, I guess.

That they do - the amount of times during the Aus tour I went to sleep when we were in a decent position, I wake up expecting to see something good BUT it was always issed: issed: issed:

 

[anakwalajinn]

Aus gets -250 runs just 2 make this interesting. Then we will
choke. I cant beleive I have almost watched the whole day lol

 

[Paradox]

Azhar was doing very well in the past few overs leaving anything outside off from Hilfenhaus, now he's driving those deliveries. It's his weakness, he needs to stop. The last thing we need now is a wicket.

 

[imshally81]

2 runz for azhar ali

 

[AZ]

Butt survives! Wohoo!!!

 

[anakwalajinn]

Blooooody Hell!!!!!

 

[imshally81]

last ball

 

[akbarc1]

BUtt Bach nahi sakta......OUT ho jaye ga last over tak ....

Nearly gone, last ball of the day

 

[imshally81]

yes not out

 

[AZ]

Butt survives! Wohoo!!!


and LOL that looked plumb!
