[khilari]

the other commentator with waqar is tryinna make wat waqar is saying
and then says 56 for 1 ...
classic indian comedy

 

[kablooee87]

Waqar dismisses Ganguly's bowling....awesome.

 

[inzidabest]

Folks did the commentators say anything about what should be an ideal first innings score?

 

[samisback]

nah not yet but to me looks like a 500 wicket for sure inshAllah we will get there!!1

 

[samisback]

waqas younis on the run out..i personally think shoaib butt gave his wicket away

 

[samisback]

bhaji comes in to bowl and turns

 

[samisback]

this will be intresting bhajji vs youni!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and in comes bhajji

 

[samisback]

this seems like a classic spinning wicket.....why do we always bluff our selves on the wickets duh!what bouncy wicket

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ball is certainly spinning here

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan have made a nice solid start, a pity about the run out. pakistan need to continue on and look for total of 400-50 each here.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

so who beat the crap outta dhoni forcing him to get the stitches )

 

[inzidabest]

ball is certainly spinning here

and still Pak took 3 pacers. where is Arshad Khan?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i love those reebok signs like those old azharuddin ones

 

[Hash]

Agree Amjid

Solid start at the moment. These two are doing the right thing. We just need to keep going.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and still Pak took 3 pacers. where is Arshad Khan?

no worries we got Afridi to take up the role with Dani

 

[samisback]

what shoaib malik making his debut against india in tests..all the best boy!!

 

[Farah]

and still Pak took 3 pacers. where is Arshad Khan?

3 pacers > Akhtar, Rana, Sami
3 spinners > Kaneria, Afridi, Malik

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ganguly blocks yk's path to a 2nd run then apologizes thru a friendly spank on the butt

 

[pacman]

Yeah, its spinning. But that is the moisture underneath the pitch that is helping a bit. It will not be that much later in the day.

 

[Hash]

ganguly blocks yk's path to a 2nd run then apologizes thru a friendly spank on the butt

Always thought Ganguly enjoyed batting for the other side

 

[khilari]

crowd with banner "friendship is the best policy" along with both jhandas.. coool

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Malik should have put a few of those bad balls away for 4....

 

[mooz]

3 pacers > Akhtar, Rana, Sami
3 spinners > Kaneria, Afridi, Malik

U forgot YK, I reckon he is in the same league as Malik.

 

[samisback]

is it bhaji getting this much turn or is it murali ???????? in the other game seems like its bhajji bowling since no gr8 turn for murali......seems like they have swapped places

 

[Hash]

crowd with banner "friendship is the best policy" along with both jhandas.. coool

Disagree. Winning is the best policy. Friendship can come later. Let's win the series first since that is what cricket is about (winning)

 

[Waseem]

Guys, any live audio commentary??

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

6666666666666666666

 

[samisback]

thats like it 6 over long on!! malik go on boy!

 

[pacman]

Shoaib hits Bhajji for SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Farah]

U forgot YK, I reckon he is in the same league as Malik.

Doubt YK will get to bowl when was the last time he bowled in Tests?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6666!!!

 

[khilari]

chakka by younis YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Pace]

is it bhaji getting this much turn or is it murali ???????? in the other game seems like its bhajji bowling since no gr8 turn for murali......seems like they have swapped places

I know. He's turning it a Mile! Just got spanked though.

 

[khilari]

chakka by malik YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[mooz]

[Usman Chadda]

Welcome Harbhajan Singh! Welcome to Pakistan.

) ) )

 

[samisback]

[Toony™®]

Harbajhan loving this pitch...

Malik went for a risky shot cos he cant play spin!

 

[mooz]

Malik should have put a few of those bad balls away for 4....

HE is hitting the bad balls for 6.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

) check out that pic of yk in the partenerships

 

[Farah]

another 3,4 sixers of bhajji n boy wouldnt that shoot his bp!!!!!

He is lucky Afridi isnt at the crease

 

[J-Essence]

Wow the ball is turning like crazy for spinners now what is going on? i thought that was wat the pakistani were avoiding?? please enlighten me

 

[pacman]

Harbajhan loving this pitch...

Malik went for a risky shot cos he cant play spin!

What a joke. He is good player of spin.

 

[samisback]

I know. He's turning it a Mile! Just got spanked though.

thats coz he came down the pitch took it b4 it could turn it was younis playing b4!!!!u know what i mean defend defend n defend with malik bang n then defend

 

[Toony™®]

i think Malik is going for shots bcos he cant defend..if harbhajan is making life difficult for khan..malik has no chance.

 

[khilari]

ganguly with a noball -- Jeeta reh ganguly

 

[Toony™®]

What a joke. He is good player of spin.

whatever..next ball nearly he played on!

 

[samisback]

Harbajhan loving this pitch...

Malik went for a risky shot cos he cant play spin!

wake up what are u on about...hes among the very best players of off spin bowling in the team...!

 

[pacman]

Wow the ball is turning like crazy for spinners now what is going on? i thought that was wat the pakistani were avoiding?? please enlighten me

It's the moisture underneath that is helping the ball to get some grip. Once the moisture underneath is vanished, the spinners will not get any purchase until late day 3 or day 4.

 

[mooz]

Hopefully that 6 will discourage Bhajji from giving the ball so much flight.
I doubt it though, he is too experienced for that.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think Malik is going for shots bcos he cant defend..if harbhajan is making life difficult for khan..malik has no chance.

um i donno which matches u watch but shoaib can not only defend well but he is an excellent player of spin can read it quite well

 

[khilari]

) check out that pic of yk in the partenerships

[samisback]

He is lucky Afridi isnt at the crease

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[mooz]

ooo his time would come dont worry.....he will slaughter em ..late qurbani im sure!!

Hopefully tomorrow. After tea tomorrow that is.

 

[Hash]

Younis definitely looks better clean shaven than he did with that stuble

 

[Nauman]

69/1 at the end of 21 overs.

 

[khilari]

auk aur no ball and at ganguly's pace just go for th ebig shot as soon as u hear that lol

might as well confirm the no-ball with umpire b4 hitting

 

[samisback]

Hopefully tomorrow. After tea tomorrow that is.

inshAllah......i reckon bat once make big runs n then forget about batting again!!

 

[samisback]

69 for 1 end of the over!

 

[khilari]

yeh hai sikandar bhai

 

[pacman]

inshAllah......i reckon bat once make big runs n then forget about batting again!!

Don't get ahead of yourselves. Lets take it session by session. It only take one good session to turn it all around.

 

[samisback]

kumble comes into the attack

 

[samisback]

yeh hai sikandar bhai

ha ha ha ha@ sikander he does look like him i agree!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and in comes bistar ka kumbal

 

[azcali78]

Cricinfo scorecard says Razaaq is in the team. What the..............?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Arys coverage is crappy as per usual, am actually glad im getting ready to go to work!

 

[pacman]

And Kumble gets punished for 4 by Younis

 

[khilari]

cracking 4 by younis

 

[octavian]

According to Arun Lal " Kumble is a very straight bowler "

 

[samisback]

gud short by youni cut short for 4!!! well sikandar reminds me of another genuine doc i know..and that donkey bits kool

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Cricinfo scorecard says Razaaq is in the team. What the..............?

its cricinfo wat do u expect no Rzzaq is not playing this game

 

[samisback]

Cricinfo scorecard says Razaaq is in the team. What the..............?

nah hes not!!! its the same 11 as we all thought it would be no surprizes i can assure u!

 

[mooz]

gud short by youni cut short for 4!!! well sikandar reminds me of another genuine doc i know..and that donkey bits kool

doctor? looks like a pharmacy student.

 

[Amjid Javed]

am wondering why kumble wasnt brought on before harbhajan, 2ndly harbajhan has never done anything of note v pakistan!

 

[samisback]

i like maliks bat....wicked

 

[samisback]

youni while playing bhajji stays in the crease like hes stuck...n allows the ball to turn ...unlike malik....hmm wonder what hes thinking off..pak 76 for 1

 

[orison]

pak 76/1
