pathan facing kumblee he comes in bowls nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn defends

 

[DM]

Inzimam should try and take as much of the strike as possible, just to blood up The Beast's bloodlust.

Then, all hell shall break loose.

)

 

[samisback]

next ball hammers it for 4 helps it on his 4 down fine leg

 

[Hydro]

afridi gets another

 

[Ace Base]

Inzimam needs another 150 runs to guarantee himself a Test average of 52.

 

[Hydro]

and another

 

[samisback]

another 4444444444 nearly caught on the boundaryyy lucky escape

 

[Pace]

Afridi needs to calm the F**** down!!!!

 

[nafajafam]

[UJ]

[nafajafam]

Gets a single off the last bowl. 242-4

 

[Jonty]

hey dudes... go the beast!!!!

 

[khilari]

afridi n kumble is such a good matchup...
poor kumble can't seem to settle against afridi

 

[lahori]

There is just so much tension when this guy bats.

 

[azcali78]

This is going to be good. Afridi takes a single to retain the strike against Singh. 242-4

 

[samisback]

awwww they have taken singh off n broguth zaheer khan in what cowardsss

 

[azcali78]

oh man Zaheer is on.... sucks.....

 

[nafajafam]

Zaheer khan is back.. RiP has gotten lucky here.

 

[Pace]

Field is defenceive now start picking singles at will.

 

[Ace Base]

First it was Harbhajan, now its Kumble.

 

[nafajafam]

There is just so much tension when this guy bats.

Yup

 

[Jonty]

i guess they dont want singhs confidence to go down as afridi can ruin him in one over.. plus its his debut.. zaheer has the experience, time for afridi to slaughter him, but not get carried away!

 

[nafajafam]

Single taken. 243-4

 

[samisback]

4444444444444 by inzi this time on leg side what placement n timing 247 now pak

 

[nafajafam]

i guess they dont want singhs confidence to go down as afridi can ruin him in one over.. plus its his debut.. zaheer has the experience, time for afridi to slaughter him, but not get carried away!

Zaheer has more experience getting slaughtered

 

[karachiite]

Hows the pitch behaving? Any sideways movement?

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

4 more this time from inzi.... the score has just jumped up lol.. anyone kno what time tea is ??

 

[Jonty]

61.2 Khan to Shahid Afridi, no run, full and outside the off, angling
away, left alone with some care, unusual for Afridi
lol

 

[DM]

This monster is out of this world.

 

[Pace]

Ooh almost had Inzi. Good ball.

 

[Jonty]

we should get the run rate up to 4.5 and above

 

[nafajafam]

247-4

 

[Jonty]

DM when i saw your first 4 words i got scared

 

[azcali78]

I want to see how Bahji will feel bowling to Lala? What you all think!

 

[DM]

Inzi due a big one inshallah

 

[nafajafam]

He hasnt hit a 6 so far

 

[luvthegame]

pak needs 500 on this wicket

 

[Pace]

Kumble tempting Afridi. Hopefully he will not fall for the trap. Has to play sensibly.

 

[samisback]

kumble to pathannnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn leaves it ..was tempting though........next ball defends bat pad together..3rd ball drives straight to the feilder.....now takes his gloves off n rubs some soil in it..lets the 4th one go to the keeper.......5th ball hammers it for a single brings inzi on strike....

 

[DM]

DM when i saw your first 4 words i got scared

)
Not just yet inshallah!

 

[bala977]

A prayer to god
===========

What i get : Afridi out for 25

What you get:
1) Life time of remembrance
2) No dhaaru for life ... (ok. thats tough. No dhaaru 4 days a week)
3) Harbhajan singh will sacrifice himself once he quits playing cricket

 

[nafajafam]

Short one and punched for a single

 

[nafajafam]

Kumble cannot believe his luck here.

248-4

 

[khilari]

[samisback]

we dont drink

 

[Jonty]

guys - what is the weather like.. how is the light? will we get a full days play?

 

[nafajafam]

Afridi doesnt seem to be in the mood

 

[samisback]

im sure if it had been rudi he would have raised his finger..........anyhow luckily for us had the best umpire on duty...........zaheer comes in bowls and nearly goes for the pull last minute pull out of the shot

 

[Pace]

Afridi getting frustrated with Zaheer who is bowling very well. Oops almost played an awful shot.

 

[samisback]

guys - what is the weather like.. how is the light? will we get a full days play?

inshAllah looks promising so far!!

 

[the_game]

Afridi doesnt seem to be in the mood

Oh, he doesn't need to get into the mood!

 

[nafajafam]

Light is good so far. Dont know about full days play

 

[samisback]

5 minutes to tea thats why nafa patience tiger!!!

 

[samisback]

Afridi doesnt seem to be in the mood

5 minutes to tea thats why nafa patience tiger!!!

 

[Pace]

Tea

 

[DM]

Afridi doesnt seem to be in the mood

That problem always sorts itself out sooner rather than later

 

[samisback]

with that it is tea..wow what timing n the pathan survivessssss lets hope for some serious fireworks when he comes out after tea

 

[nafajafam]

248-4 and Tea

 

[Jonty]

after tea i presume afridi will start carnage like the last game. the beef needs fuel.

 

[luvthegame]

tea

 

[nafajafam]

That problem always sorts itself out sooner rather than later

Haha, normal service will be resumed after tea!!

 

[Saj]

Time for some cha.

The match I would say is still very even. If India can pick up 2 more wickets today, they'll believe they've had a good day. Pak should be looking to score 450 plus as a 1st innings score on this track.

 

[nafajafam]

5 minutes to tea thats why nafa patience tiger!!!

Didnt know tea was closeby. It does get edgy when Freedy bats

 

[samisback]

btw peeps if we were to loose a couple of more wickets by the close of play...thats where razzak will come in..........! lets hope he delivers the gud as well!

 

[DM]

Oh, he doesn't need to get into the mood!

precisely Game. He's perpetually in the mood. If ever he refrains from aiming for the moon, then we can safely assume something such as that he's nursing some massive compound fractures somewhere

 

[Jonty]

God willing

 

[karachiite]

We have an extra batter in the side this time so hopefully we will be able to get to 450. Although right now it seems quite a way off. Our lower middle order is still a bit hit and miss.

 

[UJ]

Pak in a decent position at Tea. Hopefully no more wickets will fall and Pak can be pushing 350-400 by the days end

 

[Jonty]

2 beasts means big score

 

[the_game]

precisely Game. He's perpetually in the mood. If ever he refrains from aiming for the moon, then we can safely assume something such as that he's nursing some massive compound fractures somewhere

I wouldn't bet against him aiming for the moon even if he is nursing a few here and there !

 

[samisback]

btw its a saturday morning im having tea n afridi is on display i have the day off....what else could i have ever asked for oo yeah an afridi special
