He is joint 18th with 41 sixes - he is joint with Ganguly, Sachin and M.Waugh

Gibbs is 17th on the list with 44 sixes - maybe the next test match cos insha'allah he wont be needed apart from his bowling anymore

i thought afridi had hit the most number of 6's?

 

[nafajafam]

11-0 India.

 

[samisback]

ppl..hosla........this is test cricket.......wickets take time.........dont be impatient the other team is meant to be competing as well remember????

 

[Ace Base]

India taking a huge gamble by sending out The Wall to open.

If Pakistan get Dravid out today, India will have to run for cover.

Ganguly will fall easily and Tendulkar is prone to getting out when his team really needs him.

Dravid is the key wicket here.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Shoaib and Rana roughing up Indian batsmen, yorkers to follow soon.

 

[kashmiri]

hey i thought gangs would have be opening(have to open)

 

[badxhah]

jus check the bouncer pak bowled n indian bowled ..?
their bouncer were not gettin above knee height

 

[tahaqureshi]

indian batsmen seem to be jumping around out there, immediately you can see the difference in class between their bowlers and our bowlers!

 

[nadeem]

They're trying to rough up the ball to get some early reverse the way waqar and wasim used to do back in the day.

 

[nafajafam]

Shoaib testing Dravid with short deliveries. Needs to bowl them more at his body

 

[octavian]

94.4 mph last ball..how slow is the pitch ?

 

[samisback]

lets not just get ahead of ourselves here now shall we

 

[nadeem]

Expect a toe crusher very soon.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

i thought afridi had hit the most number of 6's?

In ODI's and Total career 6's BUT in tests alone he is still 45 behind cairns - BUT thats only cos he hasnt played too many test matches, Chacha Bob has changed that

 

[DM]

I love Rana. He's a brutal man himself isn't he? He's very meaty, he's bald, obese, looks like a parent and bowls vicious away swingers at 87mph

 

[nafajafam]

96.4mph from Shoaib

 

[Big Mac]

Great take by Akmal

 

[samisback]

They're trying to rough up the ball to get some early reverse the way waqar and wasim used to do back in the day.

a huge diference in the bowlers u have mentioned n the bowlers currently on display + shoaib is trying a bit too hard....................................

 

[octavian]

onto 96.4 mph

 

[Big Mac]

And again

 

[nafajafam]

94.0mph, down the legs and a good take by Kami. well done lad!!

 

[Ace Base]

Pakistan must prise out at least two wickets today.

Once again, Dravid must be targetted.

India can't win and they realise this and will probably try and bat as long as possible. For this reason Pakistan must try and make them play at every ball.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I love Rana. He's a brutal man himself isn't he? He's very meaty, he's bald, obese, looks like a parent and bowls vicious away swingers at 87mph

) ) )

 

[Rickz]

all India can do is play thier natrual game.

 

[nafajafam]

maiden over that. 11-0 India.

 

[nadeem]

96.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on shaibeeeeeee. HIs fastest delivery since September 2003.

 

[samisback]

is the speed gun working alright?? shoiabs last delivery was 131...when it took off..seemed like another 145 + to me

 

[Jonty]

we must also hold onto our catches

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Expect a wicket very soon!

 

[nafajafam]

Rana drifting down the leg and hit for 4 by Sehwag. Good timing and placement

 

[nafajafam]

Quick single taken. 16-0 India

 

[Ace Base]

I love Rana. He's a brutal man himself isn't he? He's very meaty, he's bald, obese, looks like a parent and bowls vicious away swingers at 87mph

How's he obese, mate?

Just a chunky guy, but definitely NOT obese.

Don't tell me you've got a six-pack yourself?

 

[Jonty]

sehrag will try and compete with afridi's score - caution

 

[samisback]

watching dravid bat is a treat to watch..i hope shoaib or rana get him quickly coz hes the only one who can bat for 3 days without any probs if he gets in n make batting look really eazy!

 

[inzidabest]

wicket shud have come by now

 

[nafajafam]

Waqar: "The cameramen are awesome nowadays,, they know the angles.. where the ball goes... they are half a cricketers"

 

[Jonty]

it will come.. look out for an akhtar special. i also smell something from sami

 

[nafajafam]

17-0 India

 

[samisback]

How's he obese, mate?

Just a chunky guy, but definitely NOT obese.

Don't tell me you've got a six-pack yourself?

everyone has a 6-pac.........its just hidden under the belly

 

[nadeem]

DM, theres not an ounce of fat on Rana bro. If u watch his interview with Geo in the clips section u'll see he looks like a complete athlete, big chest, good shoulders, big arms and no gut AT ALL.

 

[nafajafam]

Need 2 wickets before tea

 

[Pace]

Conditions are ripe for reverse swing once the ball gets old. Conditions are overcast and after tonight the atmosphere will be even more dense (with moisture) due to expected light showers. Hopefully the Kookabura ball will coperate.

 

[samisback]

promising stats for pak...dravid averages 16 as an openor!!

 

[DM]

How's he obese, mate?

Just a chunky guy, but definitely NOT obese.

Don't tell me you've got a six-pack yourself?

just some onomatopoeic hyperbole, don't mind me

 

[nafajafam]

93.5mph from shoaib, defended by dravid

 

[samisback]

why has shoaib got to do all these dramas with the limping and injuries i still cant understand it..........

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

I am worried about the light situation.

 

[Jonty]

wickets will coem for sure. 20 good peices of cricket needed

 

[nafajafam]

Bowling fast puts pressure on the body boy... easy on him

 

[UJ]

Looks like ind will just play their natural game. Surely, they cant win from here, can they?

 

[Ace Base]

just some onomatopoeic hyperbole, don't mind me

Lol!

Just keepin' you honest, akhi.

 

[samisback]

some serious effort being in by akhtar....152 mph now

 

[nafajafam]

93.7mph, on target by Shoaib and defended by Dravid

 

[Pace]

Shoiab bowling too short.

 

[DM]

DM, theres not an ounce of fat on Rana bro. If u watch his interview with Geo in the clips section u'll see he looks like a complete athlete, big chest, good shoulders, big arms and no gut AT ALL.

True bro, i'm just exaggerating He's got the archetypal testosterone'd appearance, muscles, wide jaw, balding

 

[nafajafam]

94.9mph, again on target adn denfended

 

[samisback]

ok guys its obvious dravid is playing him with such ease.......slower ball attempted n played very well.......

 

[DM]

96.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on shaibeeeeeee. HIs fastest delivery since September 2003.

I know, it's simply awesome isn't it. Mindblowing fire

 

[samisback]

i guess patience is the name of the game......getting close to 97 mph now

 

[Ace Base]

Kaneria and Afridi will be more effective I should think.

I'm not sure if Sami will have a role to play in this match.

 

[nafajafam]

slower delivery by Shoaib, but off target.

 

[samisback]

i think hes after the 100 mph ............

 

[nadeem]

"some serious effort being in by akhtar....152 mph now"


152 mph?????????????? Is he throwing balls while driving a ferrari?

 

[nafajafam]

96.5mph short delivery... The Rawalpindi Express is steaming

 

[octavian]

96.5 mph !!!!!

 

[DM]

94.9mph, again on target adn denfended

thanks for the speed updates bro, brilliant to hear. And sounds like he's directing them pretty well too

 

[samisback]

4 to dravid gud shot...tried for the yorker......came out as a full toss...easily played 4

 

[nafajafam]

woh!!! that ball swung in sharply, but hit for 4 by dravid.

 

[DM]

96.5 mph !!!!!

96.5mph short delivery... The Rawalpindi Express is steaming

Oh my goodness

[Pace]

[samisback]

"some serious effort being in by akhtar....152 mph now"


152 mph?????????????? Is he throwing balls while driving a ferrari?

ha ha ha showie was kph..........they have both speeds u know excitment creeping in now its tea time boys

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Shoaib should look after himself. A wicket is not worth him getting injured!
