[The_Cricket_Devil]

good evening guys this should be a gr8 day however while we wait i suggest u watch the current aus vs sl game jayasuriya looks to be back to his barbaric self

 

[samisback]

yes he said......the bat maker that he came up with the name sher (which is written on afridi,s bat ) coz afridi when batting makes the similar sort of face like a sher lion..........n then they showed his face n it was spot on!!!

 

[samisback]

good evening guys this should be a gr8 day however while we wait i suggest u watch the current aus vs sl game jayasuriya looks to be back to his barbaric self

[Slugger]

neways pls post wat is being said in pre match talk

they are saying inzi's fart odour has changed since the england tour everyone in the pak dressing room has noticed that

 

[samisback]

pitch report : 2nd day still a batting tack perhaps day 3 batting might become a might uneazy.......micholding

shiva : after the ball pitches the bowls loosing upto 20 , 25% .

 

[Slugger]

which means?

well we shall just have to keep yorking then wont we when we bowl

 

[UJ]

Younis also said yesterday that the pitch was a bit up and down. That could make it interesting today to see if batting gets easier or tougher.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

which means?

if a bowler releases the ballat 80 mph by the time it reaches the batsmen it is only 60-65 mph

 

[samisback]

well we shall just have to keep yorking then wont we when we bowl

yes thats right ur spot on.........we need to send cartman to fsb ASAP!

 

[samisback]

if a bowler releases the ballat 80 mph by the time it reaches the batsmen it is only 60-65 mph

well that was for a spinner for a fast bowler shouldnt be more then 10 to 15% to be honest...!

 

[Jonty]

hey guys.. we all ready for the start of play?

 

[samisback]

Younis also said yesterday that the pitch was a bit up and down. That could make it interesting today to see if batting gets easier or tougher.

batting would become much tuffer no doubt about it, pitch is detoriating ..the suns out we are getting full 90 overs...hopefully by tomorow the pitch should start playing up!!!!

 

[samisback]

bad news peeps........razzak coming out instead of inzi....... due to his back injury

 

[samisback]

razzak will be facing pathan..............................what a blow

 

[samisback]

razzak will be facing zaheer khan..............................what a blow

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi unfit!!?!? wth happened

 

[samisback]

what a start bangggg 44444444 to raziiiiiiiiii

 

[Jonty]

this could be an exhilerating session of play

 

[Obeid]

4 for razzaq.....good start!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shot by razzle dazzle

 

[samisback]

he had some back probs yesterday during his innings seemed fine for a bit...and even said he was ok.but seems to have started again over night........so its razi batting on 4 now....pak 383 now

 

[Jonty]

inzi needs to sort out this problem asap.

 

[samisback]

after the 4 , 3 consecutive plays n misses very nearly n edge to the keeper..........5th balls plays it confidently

 

[Obeid]

zaheer beating razzaqs bat 3 times already

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzaq being beaten agn and agn here

 

[Jonty]

i think the message is to attack

 

[Big Mac]

We're going to miss Inzi's calming influence on Afridi almost as much as his actual batting.

 

[samisback]

inzi needs to sort out this problem asap.

its the similar prob he had in austrailia !!!!! lets hope razi n freedi can give him sometime to rest n recover!!! freedi will be facing pathan now

 

[UJ]

Kamran should be out there. He has been batting superbly of late

 

[Jonty]

good point big mac

 

[Cartman]

iunzi has a chronic back problem.. it cant just go away..

 

[samisback]

oooooo straight upppppppp n phewww safeeeee 2 runs...lucky escape

 

[Obeid]

pathan bowling to Afridi.....this shld be good!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jonty]

smash pathan afridi, lets see some action

 

[samisback]

next ball near misunderstanding n a runout but 1 run taken at the end

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon afridi araamse khelo and propel pakistan to a good total....afridi starts off with a leading edge for 2

 

[UJ]

BTW, how is the weather? Is it sunny?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

weather looks beautiful altho they say it is chilly afridi on 88 now

 

[samisback]

iunzi has a chronic back problem.. it cant just go away..

and u would know all about it....this all adds up to ur cutters n experince!!! 444444444444444 smashed by freeeeeeediiiiiiii

 

[Raz]

BANG BANG BANG!!!! A little bit of width and Afridi smashes Pathan for 4 over cover.

 

[samisback]

392 now ! freedi retains the strike

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

michael holding reckons razzaq is a batting all rounder or even just a batsman. SMASHED FOR 4 BY AFRIDI

 

[UJ]

CAnt wait till Afridi gets his hundred. We can expect some fireworks after that surely

 

[UJ]

Pathan starts off with another disaster of an over

 

[samisback]

single taken off the 1st ball moves on to 93........come on freedi 107 more to get u can do it boy.......razi faces khan ..comes in bowls nnnnnnnnnnnn defends!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

afridi onto 93

 

[samisback]

well run quick single to razi............brings freedi back on! khan comes in bowls nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn well left

 

[samisback]

seems like its india,s game plan to bowl well outside off stump...to freedi ...n make him go after it n while doing so give his wicket away .......(now we know ur game plan dravid n chappel

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

this is a race to see who will get the hundred first now afridi or jayasuriya 93 and 91 respectively

 

[samisback]

inzi doesnt look in that bad shape...was tieing his own shoe laces i think might be a game plan...............u never know!!!! pathan to razi cracks it off the back foot straight to the cover fielder

 

[DM]

Salam bros! What an exciting day's play in store!

 

[UJ]

I think its a gameplan - Inzi being off the field. Remeber what he did against Eng after being retired hurt made a quick 97

 

[samisback]

peeps already some uneven bounce keeper fumbles again 1 run taken off the last bowl razi retains the strike

 

[Raz]

Razzaq taking his time to settle in

 

[samisback]

Salam bros! What an exciting day's play in store!

ws...gud to have u with us dm....!

 

[DM]

and good to have your ultra-fast commentary bro

 

[Jonty]

i see the beast boys are all here hehe

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi is in his gear he should be back inshallah

 

[samisback]

Razzaq taking his time to settle in

which is suppose to be a gud thing ant it will give inzi more time to rest!

 

[samisback]

a maiden bowled by khan...freedi to face pathan....btw i like razi,s bat same as maliks....reebok one!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

which is suppose to be a gud thing ant it will give inzi more time to rest!

but he is also building pressure on afridi to score quicker

 

[Jonty]

time to bring up the 100

 

[samisback]

plays n misses....................the game plan so far seems to be working..bowl wide outside the offstump next ball.....squares him up but defends

 

[samisback]

444444444444444444444 almost a 6..one bounce 4 moves to 97 now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

smashed by the beast!

 

[UJ]

AFridi so close now!!!

 

[samisback]

another play n a miss next ball...............pathan comes in bowls again nnnnnn 444444444444444444444 with tha 101........well done might be a 6666 lets check

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]
