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

DM, you are the one who has massive compound fractures in your skull. Get them checked!! Haha.

 

[samisback]

2 beasts means big score

inshAllah

 

[nafajafam]

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

Better 'poondi' perhaps?

 

[samisback]

Better 'poondi' perhaps?

u too brutos are u physcic or what

 

[samisback]

rameez tells us a story about afridi : against zimababes 3 yrz ago ..fans came all over to see him at peshawar.......afridi got dismissed 2nd ball........were about 20,000 fans still struggling to come in........n soon as they heard hes out started throwing bricks (All the pathans obviosuly ) so he went out n said to all of them look this is international cricket i cant do it everytime

 

[samisback]

plays about to begin........it will be inzi facing i dont know who yet

 

[luvthegame]

inzi & afridi need to play slowly and add another 100. After that they assault indian bowling.
pak needs atleast 450-500 to put india under pressure in this pitch.

 

[samisback]

kumble to inzi let the battle continue

 

[Ace Base]

Afridi needs 108 more runs to guarantee himself a Test average of 40.

 

[nafajafam]

post tea session, kumble resumes

 

[Shayan]

248-4

 

[nafajafam]

Afridi needs 108 more runs to guarantee himself a Test average of 40.

Ace Base needs 3 more posts to get 800.

 

[Ace Base]

Pakistan now have two batsmen averaging 50 with the bat in Tests. Younis Khan is on his way to becoming the third. Masha Allah.

 

[samisback]

a maiden over after tea .by kumble

 

[PapaBear]

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

Fans of both sides are tense for different reasons. I cant watch this guy live but I love his recordings.

 

[nafajafam]

Kumble is getting some drift, dangerous!!

 

[Hydro]

today is the day we find out if afridi has really matured

and test mercs theory if he has the mental abilty to withstand preessure

 

[samisback]

inshAllah n mashAllah indeed sir!

 

[nafajafam]

248-4

 

[Ace Base]

Dravid is very shrewd. He won't give RP Singh a bowl while Afridi is batting.

 

[Pace]

Dean just asked Waqar if Inzi likes to have cake etc. at tea to which our genius replied "ever since Inzi has become captain he keeps an eye on his sweet parts".

 

[samisback]

444444444444444 down to thrid man eazyyyyyyyy pickings n nafa ur wishes are being fullfilled by the cameraman

 

[Shayan]

[nafajafam]

[Hydro]

afridi gets a four soem pressure off

 

[DM]

Brutal terminology, i love it!!

 

[samisback]

almost a yorker played well straight past the bowler.............can afridi play 200 balls in this innings for the first time in his career ??? zaheer comes around the wicket now to the pathan

 

[Pace]

Zaheer bowling very well, we need to see him off.

 

[Hydro]

250 up with that shot

 

[nafajafam]

252-4

 

[samisback]

what a classic late cut shot by inziiiiiiiiiiii 444444444 to kumble 256 now

 

[the_game]

Dean just asked Waqar if Inzi likes to have cake etc. at tea to which our genius replied "ever since Inzi has become captain he keeps an eye on his sweet parts".

) Can you add that to the Waqar thread? That's a "huuuuuuuuugee jam" from Waqar!

 

[nafajafam]

almost a yorker played well straight past the bowler.............can afridi play 200 balls in this innings for the first time in his career ??? zaheer comes around the wicket now to the pathan

Imagine the carnage and damaged bowling careers in those 200 balls

 

[Hydro]

[samisback]

[Hydro]

any of notice the similarities between thiss inings

the also 40 of 50 balls and after tea also

 

[nafajafam]

Punched to midoff, misfield and 2 runs taken. Lucky wasnt hit for 4

 

[samisback]

last ball afridi on strike....kumble comes n bowls nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn pathan hammers it just for a single n keeps the strike

 

[nafajafam]

Deano on Afridi: "He hasnt hit a 6 today, been quite boring" haha

 

[Hydro]

inizi guiding this partnershipi hope

 

[samisback]

pullllllllllllsssssssssssssssssssss miss times and 2 runs btw the feildersss

 

[Big Mac]

Nicely done from Sachin

 

[nafajafam]

Afridi pulls Zaheer and good fielding there by Sachin. saved certain 4 runs. 2 runs taken.

 

[samisback]

afridi starting to find his touch now hammers another down the ground straight to the feilder next ball khan comes in bowls n defends..........currently has hit 26 sixers in his last 7 tests ., next ball takes a single...

 

[samisback]

inzi looks focused.......i can smell a big innings from him.....gud composure shown by him so far!!

 

[nafajafam]

Deano has been a revelation in the commentary team. During the England series it was Bumble

 

[nafajafam]

263-4

 

[samisback]

kumble to afridi this will be intresting.......first ball takes a single ...brings big inzi back on strike..i think the pathan waits for bhajji

 

[samisback]

2 loud apeals against inzi....he needs to rotate the strike probably learn something from afridi

 

[nafajafam]

Kumble always troubles Inzi

 

[Saj]

come on Inzi, use the bat, not the pad ! Rudi is getting itchy fingers !

 

[karachiite]

Deano has been a revelation in the commentary team. During the England series it was Bumble

I wouldnt quite say that. Deano has always been great, just wish he got more assignments as a commie. Hopefully in Pakistan's matches.

 

[Jonty]

the question when will the beast get possessed

 

[nafajafam]

264-4

 

[nafajafam]

I wouldnt quite say that. Deano has always been great, just wish he got more assignments as a commie. Hopefully in Pakistan's matches.

That's what I meant, great to have someone like Deano in the team.

 

[samisback]

alrighty peeps im sneazing like hell now..my old disease has come back.....i need to get my self into bed now ..................lets hope nafa can deliver half as gud as commentery as i was

 

[nafajafam]

alrighty peeps im sneazing like hell now..my old disease has come back.....i need to get my self into bed now ..................lets hope nafa can deliver half as gud as commentery as i was

Haha, you have become a legend pretty soon dear boy!!

 

[Ace Base]

As far as six hitters goes, Lance Cairns is the Papa of them all, having hit more than 18% of his runs in sixes in his Test career.

Afridi is second in the all time list with a percentage of 17.65%

 

[nafajafam]

Punched off the back foot by Inzi for 2 runs.

 

[Hydro]

50 partnership

now aim for th 75

 

[DM]

alrighty peeps im sneazing like hell now..my old disease has come back.....i need to get my self into bed now ..................lets hope nafa can deliver half as gud as commentery as i was

Take it easy bro!

 

[Saj]

nice back foot push for 2 by Inzi and a controlled pull for 1 by Inzi

 

[nafajafam]

Short ball and pulled by Inzi. Good fielding results in 1run. Good shot that!!

269-4

 

[nafajafam]

Inzi drives down the ground for a single

 

[Ace Base]

If Pakistan close on 300 for 4 today, I think they'll have done well for themselves.

 

[nafajafam]

Defended back to Kumble by Freedy

 

[nafajafam]

Inside edge and 2 runs taken. Inzi not really in focus here.

 

[nafajafam]

Driven straight past the bowler for a single.

 

[nafajafam]

273-4

 

[Ace Base]

The Beast has been awfully quiet for some time now. Something's got to give.

In any event, I guarantee you that today we'll see one of two things.

1. Either Afridi will be out.

2. Afridi scalps some more Indians.

 

[nafajafam]

If Pakistan close on 300 for 4 today, I think they'll have done well for themselves.

Definitely, would be a good score to close the day on

 

[nafajafam]

Zaheer starts and Afridi defends it to the off side

 

[nafajafam]

Short , wide and angling away, left by Afridi. 273-4

 

[Big Mac]

Oh I thought that was out at first

 

[nafajafam]

Ooh!!, wide ball, Afridi is double mind and gloves teh ball, short of the keeper adn takes a single

 

[nafajafam]

Quick single taken by Inzi

 

[Ace Base]

Zaheer Khan's got a bowling average only his mother can love.

 

[nafajafam]

Zaheer Khan's got a bowling average only his mother can love.

Same goes for our beloved Sami

 

[nafajafam]

275-4
