[mooz]

Pathan swinging it a lot. Pitch is very slow

[Shayan]

RP Singh opening up with Pathan

5-0

 

[Farah]

debutant to bowl now

 

[Bailan]

pitch slow he ya Pathan slow he?

Pathan is fast, its jsut the relative motion between the Speed gun and Pathan that is just not enough ...

r.p singh to bowl his first bowl to malik!!!1

 

[Farah]

Almost a wicket but its a four

 

[samisback]

nearly a wicket..kumble didnt see the ball .....ducks n bowl goes psat him in the air for a boundary it was a eazy catch but kumlbe didnt sight it in time

 

[Shayan]

pitch slow he ya Pathan slow he?

pitch slow hai yaar.

Malik hits through gully, should've been out. Kumble didn't see it. 4 runs. He took evasive action

 

[samisback]

Pathan is fast, its jsut the relative motion between the Speed gun and Pathan that is just not enough ...

)) .this r.p bloke looks sharp enuff to me..............

 

[Shayan]

RP getting some swing as well.

9-0

 

[samisback]

pak 9 for 0.........r.p comes in bows to malik nnnnnnnnnnnnnnndown the leg side

 

[Somali Pirate]

malik what a shot for 4.eh?

 

[Bailan]

RP singh ... fastest 80mph

 

[the true passionist]

really sad...man...hope it doesn't hurt pak

 

[samisback]

deano reckons r.p singh has got something.......................only time will tell deano!!! but for now the ball is swining it will do for another 20 to 30 minutes just as u would expect on any pitch not like its the pure skill of the bowlers!!!

 

[Jonty]

RP singh ... fastest 80mph

wow, that has to be some indian record!

 

[the true passionist]

even razaq plays well out of his skin...technically this is a wrong move.

 

[Farah]

RP singh ... fastest 80mph

Afridi will match that from two pace run up

 

[samisback]

malik what a shot for 4.eh?

kill 2 birds with one stone...he was aiming to clean up kumble for the whole series.....but he missed him by a whisker n took 4 runs !!!

 

[Shayan]

rp was bowling from very wide of the crease. He might have a chance of an LBW if he gets a bit closer to the stumps.

 

[161]

how fast is this rp singh guy ?

 

[RunInzyRun]

Poor kid, first ball in test cricket hit for four.

 

[Shayan]

nice drive to mid off from Butt.

9-0

 

[samisback]

maiden bowled by pathan still 9 for no wicket paksitan

 

[RunInzyRun]

rp was bowling from very wide of the crease. He might have a chance of an LBW if he gets a bit closer to the stumps.

Yeah but, his arm is at a slight angle, so it bounces in line.

 

[Farah]

Wide bowled by Singh

 

[samisback]

how fast is this rp singh guy ?

i have seen him bowl in the high 80,s....touched 88 , 89 mph in a one day game agaisnt srilanka....comes in n bowls a wide to malik......next ball another near wide

 

[Shayan]

RP is struggling with his line, Dean Jones saying he could be dangerous if he gets it right coz he's swinging it.

 

[the true passionist]

RP seems pretty decent..has a potential and can learn

 

[161]

i have seen him bowl in the high 80,s....touched 88 , 89 mph in a one day game agaisnt srilanka....comes in n bowls a wide to malik......next ball another near wide

wow that's very good pace...... for an indian

 

[Farah]

A four for Malik, a gift!

 

[samisback]

[Shayan]

4 to Malik. full toss on his legs, flicked to square leg.

[mooz]

shoaib making RP look better than he is.

 

[samisback]

[Shayan]

[samisback]

4444444444 cracking short by salman off driven to the boundary

[samisback]

[mooz]

give where credit is due........dont be so biased now

credit to malik for making RP look good.

 

[samisback]

[Shayan]

[the true passionist]

[Shayan]

flick to square leg for 2 from Malik.

21-0

 

[Farah]

Everyone happier with this pitch compared to Lahore?

 

[samisback]

2 more runs to malik played it with ease down the leg side helps it on his way end of the over 21 now pak

 

[Bailan]

Arun Lal needs to shut up about the speed of RP singh and Pathan ...

 

[Nawazb]

2 more from malik 21-0 at the end of the 5th over

 

[Asim2Good]

they need to rotate the strike
Salman playing Pathan and Malik keep playing Singh is not god at all and when there is hint of swing as well

 

[Farah]

what a milestone achived by salman ehhh they pinch a quick single nice work rotote the strike thats better

[Shayan]

Butt works it behind square, for a single.

[Bailan]

chalo ji --- Camera man back to his antics

 

[samisback]

apealssssssssss ..malik must have hit that looked closed to me

 

[Farah]

[the true passionist]

well-bowled RP..

 

[Bailan]

smooooooooooooooooooookes

Malik survives

 

[samisback]

4 runs this time strays down the leg side gone wrong n what malik did just put da bat on bawl (as waqar would say

 

[Shayan]

4 runs, flicked to fine leg.

26-0

 

[Shayan]

Malik beaten outside off stump.

26-0

 

[ahaPassion]

I seriously doubt that Mr. Pathan would get the same level of movement after 10 overs. I hope Pak would get a chance to say "We love Indian bowling" at the end of the day.

 

[samisback]

aaa nearly a wicket misses the outside edge of maliks bat......gud over bowled by r.p singh..it would be better if zaheer khan bowls inplace of pathan

 

[Farah]

pitch isnt totally dead like lahore which is good news

 

[the true passionist]

malik in some trouble..

 

[the true passionist]

pitch isnt totally dead like lahore which is good news

what abt the weather?

 

[samisback]

it will be like this till lunch ....after that will ease out a bit more esp after the ball gets a bit old

 

[mooz]

pitch isnt totally dead like lahore which is good news

and we dropped our best swing bowler

 

[Farah]

what abt the weather?

beautiful weather sun is out

 

[Shayan]

I seriously doubt that Mr. Pathan would get the same level of movement after 10 overs. I hope **** would get a chance to say "We love Indian bowling" at the end of the day.

Younis can already say that. He averages more vs India than Sehwag does against Pak.

good quick single from Butt. Pathans swinging it but Butt's playing it well at the moment.

 

[samisback]

quick single again.............malik ducks under half a bouncer i would say........pak 27 for no wicket

 

[Farah]

and we dropped our best swing bowler

maybe woolmer or inzi will explain at lunch break or someone will tell us why Rana was dropped

 

[Bailan]

and we dropped our best swing bowler

Who ever was behind that drop belongs in Kabadi ...not cricket ...

 

[Shayan]

and we dropped our best swing bowler

Yeah, that was a seriously bad move.

but lets wait and see how Razzaq does. It may turn out to be a stroke of brilliance from 'The Bob'

 

[samisback]

ha ha ha ha ha ha over is still in progress and ary take a commercial break mu ha ha ha i luv this channel

 

[samisback]

r.p singh hits the bat hard..........which is a gud sign for the indians
