Pakistan V India | 2nd Test Faisalabad | Official Day 1 Thread [21/1/06]

u can hear it from arun laals voice........all that passion n hopes disappearing now....seems like he wont be getting more excited now for the day
 
Has MoYo ever been in better form? Apart from his golden run against Zim in 02-03 ofcourse.
 
4 more off a misfield, driven well towards extra cover and harbhajan could only redirect it towards the boundary.
 
30 more runs for Mohammed Yousuf to guarantee himself a Test average of 50.
 
Lunch Time thoughts

Okayish start by openers. RP Singh looks to be the newest in a long line of trundlers although he does bring it back to right handers, still innocous unless your name happens to Shoaib malik and you leave your bat up the air, close your eyes and duck which the perfect way to play a short ball that would not have bounced above the first rib.

I am still not sure if Butt was out but MoYo and YK have steadied the innings and were looking pretty solid with a flurry of boundaries towards teh tag end of lunch, particulraly sweet were the two in a row of India's Kumble (still the fastest Indian bowler).

Dispapponited with negative and overly defensive Pak team selection combined with another dead track which shows signs of turn but I think that turn is about to be baked out of it. It looks like it will assist spinners on Day 3 and 4 and Pak may have made a serious blunder by picking only 3 specialist bowlers with a potential that Shoaib may further aggravate his ankle injury.

Afridi and Malik will have alot of work to do I feel in the Indian innings. I doubt they will over bowl Shoaib if he doesn't get much help from the pitch.

45 minutes is the usual lunch break after a 2 hr session, this maybe longer.

Lunch break is 40 mins. It is 1 hour on fridays, as extra time is needed for jummah prayers.
 
why do cricketers need such long breaks anyways?
All they do is stand around.

This session will probably be the decider of the test ...

I see a lot of spin in the pitch ... and waqar bhayya also says that this pitch will help bowlers later on ..
