Pakistan V India | 1st Test Lahore | Official Day 1 Thread [13/1/06]

[Nauman]

Younis Khan and Shaoib Malik seem to be bogged down now.

 

[sm332]

good test match cricket ... good bowling in the right channels .. patient batting.

 

[samisback]

Well if hes paid £40 to ARY...he wont be happy if Sky then go and show it

u must be physcic im impressed!i reckon u have done the same

 

[mooz]

acha
sumajh aaya mujhe

 

[Oxy]

Just seen th Butt run-out! His fielding was prety dire v Eng; and he looksed about 60 yrs old when running!

 

[samisback]

this is what u call gud running........gud boy take the ssingals n rotate the strike!!

 

[Oxy]

I hope Malik shuts up his PP critics today!

 

[mooz]

coz i got ARY up n running 7 hours ago and paid the £££ if u know what i mean!!!!!!!1

Is ARY PPV, or do u just subscribe for the month they are broadcasting cricket?

 

[MIG]

phainty for Butt for that run out , otherwise I would have expected him to score 50+ easily

 

[Usman Chadda]

Will Waqar be commentating?

 

[Oxy]

1 concern I have-just like with MoYo...when Malik leave the short ball alone, he leaves his bat hanging in the air.

 

[samisback]

Is ARY PPV, or do u just subscribe for the month they are broadcasting cricket?

well if ur on cable then yes 1 month after that u can cancel but not if ur on sky digital then its minimum 2 months for £40 , n if u dont cancel b4 a date that they give u then its for the whole yr!!

 

[mooz]

phainty for Butt for that run out , otherwise I would have expected him to score 50+ easily

Go easy on him, he is slowed down from all the qorma and biryani from his engagement.

 

[Nauman]

Green Machine must be drooling over Pathan's action right now.

 

[samisback]

phainty for Butt for that run out , otherwise I would have expected him to score 50+ easily

like i said engagement thoughts still keeping him occupied even arun laal said he was occupied withsome thing ...means he doesnt know about the enagament

 

[mooz]

Wase India has bowled quite well so far( though well within their limitations), no help from the pitch though.

 

[samisback]

what a short by younis smashed it on the backfoot wow...coming back to butt i still think he was too young to get engaged

 

[pacman]

Younis Khan punishing Agarkar. Short outside off stump and Yonis pounces on it and gets 4.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

YK throws everything at the shot and cracks it for 4 good shot

 

[samisback]

runs will come themselves important bit is to stay on the wicket!!!

 

[mooz]

what a short by younis smashed it on the backfoot wow...coming back to butt i still think he was too young to get engaged

We agree on something finally.
Also bad timing just before a major series.

 

[samisback]

yeah which is gud coz i was begining to think of u as a mole

 

[Nauman]

33/1

 

[samisback]

i will pay someone handsomly if they kidnap arun laal frm the commentery.....moah boley paisey doonga

 

[Big Mac]

Oh that's well bowled by Pathan

 

[Oxy]

Disappointing crowd early on-we really need that '12th man' from the 1st ball onwards.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and the random appealing begins agn by the indians

 

[Nauman]

Oooh looks like Pathan has developed an outswinger with the scrambled seam.

 

[Oxy]

1st time Ive seen Pathan bowl in a year-his run up seems laboured...like an old man

btw-great drive for 4 by Malik

 

[pacman]

Beautifull straight drive from Younis. He moves on to 13. Pak 38/1.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pakistan need to realize that india's bowling resources are quite thin in this match actually: only 4 specialist bowlers (out of which 2 are spinners) so see of these 2 and thats that! gr8 shot by yk for 4 there str8 drive

 

[samisback]

gud short by youni.alright peeps im gonna take a lil break if someone misses me just shout ma name anther cracking short 3 runs to youni

 

[pacman]

Another 3 runs to Younis, he is now on 16*. Pak 41/1.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by a good shot for 3 yk looking in good touch here that recent hundred looks to have done lots for his confidence of course an avg of 100 agnst india never hurts

 

[Oxy]

O h well, looks like ARY freeview period is about to end-back to bed!

Hopefully I'll wake up and its 278-2 at the close.

 

[khilari]

mubarak ho. MashaAllah we recovered after Butt throwed his wicket...

jeetey ga bhai jeetey ga
Pakistan jeetey ga

 

[pacman]

That super slow mo camera is so cool.

 

[Oxy]

A batting 'master class' from Arun Lal and his 'soft bottom hand ' theory!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

michael holding and his boiled egg

 

[Oxy]

Well left outside the off stump by YK...fell to a few of those v Eng

 

[pacman]

Ganguly is 1st change bowler.

 

[Oxy]

Sourav bhai on to bowl in the 14th over...

and here come WAQAR YOUNIS in the Comm-box!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

aai hai ganguly agaya o and waqar has arrived as well

 

[Oxy]

I love it....

"Good morning Shiva...and good morning around the world"!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Oh man, I can see Ganguly breaking this little partnership and causing me to throw my laptop across the room here.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

"Shoaib malik has got a control of the indian fast bowling since pakistan were quiet because of butt's early wicket" -- waqar

 

[khilari]

india's bowling has been so boring.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Oh man, I can see Ganguly breaking this little partnership and causing me to throw my laptop across the room here.

im getting the exact same feeling *gulp* lets hope not...

 

[Nauman]

india's bowling has been so boring.

You can say that again.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

india's bowling has been so boring.

just wait till ganguly surprises us all with his amazing 90 mph inswinging yorker

 

[mooz]

As much as we were all having fun at Ganguly's expense, I really do feel this is a better Indian team with Ganguly in it.

 

[pacman]

Younis Khan once again punishing Agarkar. Gets 4 more.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

As much as we were all having fun at Ganguly's expense, I really do feel this is a better Indian team with Ganguly in it.

yea...better for the opposition

 

[khilari]

just wait till ganguly surprises us all with his amazing 90 mph inswinging yorker

yah... lets give some competition to kumble

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

chawka for yk majesticly timed

 

[Oxy]

YK looks in prime form-I know Agarkat is nothing special...but runs is runs"

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yk shoulda grounded his bat there had tendulkar hit yk was sol

 

[khilari]

yeh saari itne dheeloun ki tarah kyun bhaag rahey hain?

[Oxy]

What fast bowlers are the commentators referring to?

Another 4 runs to the total. 52/1.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[samisback]

i can understand butt being engaged n all but dont tell me younis khan is next in the qurbani list .?thats why is so complacent??

 

[Oxy]

This looks too easy for YK.

Hope Ganguly doesnt get him!

Great drive for 4 last over.

 

[samisback]

fyi bangladesh are quite superb fieldsmen 100% committed

no i meant it wouldnt have hurt that much by loosing wickets moreover throwing em while getting run outs...if u know what i mean..since against bangladesh someone might play big n make a recovery!

 

[Oxy]

im back so whose missed me? like i said the only way to get a wicket is by runouts what are the boys doing??????u lazy buggers wake uppppppp its india we are playing not bangladesh @butt n younis khan

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ah i remain corrected yk's avg is not just 100 but 107 vs india

 

[samisback]

gr8 short by malik 4 to gangulu!guided it way to 3rd man

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shoaib malik exploiting slips for 4 agn

 

[Oxy]

Well played by Malik-opened the face and guided through 3rd man for 4...

And then ARY turned off the freeview.

Good night gents!

 

[khilari]

heheh.. Ganguly's reaction.. He thought he had bowled a batsman on 99

 

[Big Mac]

Well that's the ARY freeview finished. Don't know if I can be bothered to stay awake and follow it on cricinfo.

 

[samisback]

Its a TEST match, not an ODI!

[The_Cricket_Devil]
