Revere swing comes into Play...Waqar is saying...Good news for Shoaib.

could also be good news for the Indian bowlers.
Allah bachaye.

 

[ataullah]

40.2 Harbhajan to Younis, no run, that spun in a big way, hits him high on the pads

some spin a good sign for Pak and danish

[ataullah]

[samisback]

Zaheer bowling from around the wicket, trying to get swing.

hes trying to repeat a wasim akram 1992 final

 

[luvthegame]

Zaheer is keeping tight. This pitch is not so easy to play on. Reverse swing on....

 

[samisback]

162-2 any reverse swing signs?

if there were. it would have been agarkar who would have done it!!!

 

[nafajafam]

Interesting, that short midon position, right next to the wicket is employed on a regular basis now.

 

[samisback]

162-2 any reverse swing signs?

if there were. it would have been agarkar who could have done it!!!

 

[luvthegame]

MY..beaten...MY survives....good ball...

 

[ataullah]

41.6 Zaheer to Yousuf, no run, drew him forward for the defence, beaten by the late swing, well bowled

swing and spin should help Pak inshallah

 

[nafajafam]

hes trying to repeat a wasim akram 1992 final

He is getting it to swing and seam a little. Second last delivery beat yousuf.

162-2

 

[badxhah]

hes trying to repeat a wasim akram 1992 final

The day any bowler could bowl those 2 kinds of deliveries i would reckon him as the best bowler in the world after Akram

 

[ataullah]

164-2

 

[nafajafam]

glided on the leg for a single. 163-3

 

[samisback]

i still feel sorry for sourav ganguly he should have played n perhaps bowled on this wicket...could have got more assitance frm this pitch as compared to the last one!!

 

[nafajafam]

[ataullah]

[samisback]

[samisback]

Waqar to Shiva " Its not about liking or disliking, I am telling you that we used to have...."

))))) perhaps he wants us to complete the sentence for him.........!!! zaheer khan is bowling a gud line...i like his effort!!!

[luvthegame]

Pitch is better than lahore. Uneven bounce and some spin and reverse swing.

 

[Pace]

Pitch is better than lahore. Uneven bounce and some spin and reverse swing.

And we did an "Axcallant" job by not selecting Rana.

[samisback]

[Re-Verse]

Hi

I do think Razzy inclusion is a suprise, especially over our hardworking Uncle Rana! However maybe Bob and Inzi have a plan, Razzy has a point to prove and he may produce a similar wicket taking spell that he demonstrated against Sri Lanka (second test) On that occassion there was no Shoiab or Sami and he led the attack with his in and away cutters...

 

[Toony™®]

drinks...going along steady

198/2

 

[samisback]

drinks break now.......so far its been gud intelligent cricket by pakistan......who was on about sehwag??? apna younis cheeta is has a much more healthier average then sehwag nearly 800 runs in 8 innings

 

[DM]

Salam pakpassioners!

FANTASTIC by YK - ever-cementing his place as the Indian destroyer

(as Sehwag is doing to us!)

 

[samisback]

what are part time lovers

are u asking in the cricketing context or.............

 

[Imy]

In the Afridi & Malik Context
