[kashyapdkuri]

Match heading off to a draw ... or is it too early to decide ???

 

[nafajafam]

Laxman showing some glimpses of what VVS means

 

[samisback]

Afridi is a better choice. where is Akhtar. is he upset with Farhat

) chal inzi yaar chad...no worries these things happen in cricket surely farhat isnt the first one to drop a catch of pindi n neighter hes the last.........teams united everyones supporting each other!!

 

[nafajafam]

Its the second day

 

[samisback]

Match heading off to a draw ... or is it too early to decide ???

nah ...dont count on it test cricket can change in a session i can assure u

 

[nafajafam]

I would refuse to bowl after seeing where Rudi put the ball!!!

 

[inzidabest]

Razzaq is done for the day

 

[chuck]

That miss by Farhat could have been very costly.

 

[nafajafam]

79-1 India.

 

[samisback]

come on yaar, has he really bowled that much faster than pathan or zaheer?

absolutly he has ....not bowling at 75 to 78 mph which he usually does in ODi,s......with razak atleast u can be rest assured will keep on hitting the same side of the pitch

 

[nafajafam]

Cut away and well fielded

 

[inzidabest]

is it drinks?

 

[nafajafam]

Dani getting some drift and some good turn.

 

[samisback]

That miss by Farhat could have been very costly.

raat gaye so baat gaye....hes back in the pavilion now...isnt costly at all.......lets move fwd now!!! dani boy gets one to rip from middle stump well left by dravid though what a batter

 

[cinderella]

Match heading off to a draw ... or is it too early to decide ???

if this match draws too im gonna break something...

whoa that wud really give the third one a lot of importance.

well i think we're doing ok....we just need some good bowling...like shoaib.

 

[Rob H]

Dravid looking walliant. You'll need a very good ball to remove him.

 

[inzidabest]

where is shoab?

 

[mooz]

absolutly he has ....not bowling at 75 to 78 mph which he usually does in ODi,s......with razak atleast u can be rest assured will keep on hitting the same side of the pitch

u can also be rest assured that razzaq's deliveries will keep on hitting the middle of dravid's bat.

 

[nafajafam]

single taken by dravid. 80-1

 

[chuck]

raat gaye so baat gaye....hes back in the pavilion now...isnt costly at all.......lets move fwd now!!! dani boy gets one to rip from middle stump well left by dravid though what a batter

agree ... lets move fwd

 

[luvthegame]

Dani is bowling well. All bowlers need to do good. SA is not the only bowler in the team. CINDY....relax..

 

[the_game]

Dravid looking walliant. You'll need a very good ball to remove him.

Quite true.

 

[inzidabest]

Match heading off to a draw ... or is it too early to decide ???

If at end of third day India dont lose more than 6 wickets. match is surely a draw

 

[nafajafam]

Should this be Razzaq's last over?

 

[nafajafam]

2 runs taken by Laxman.

 

[inzidabest]

good partnership. going at more than 4

 

[samisback]

if this match draws too im gonna break something...

whoa that wud really give the third one a lot of importance.

well i think we're doing ok....we just need some good bowling...like shoaib.

well we need wickets....kashya needs runs.....!!!

 

[kashyapdkuri]

If at end of third day India dont lose more than 6 wickets. match is surely a draw

Thats an exaggeration ... i wonder if pak would be able to pick more than 3

 

[nafajafam]

83-1

 

[cinderella]

[Oxy]

Didnt you hear-test matches can go into 5 days!

 

[nafajafam]

Short delivery, left by VVS

 

[chuck]

fielding has improved after tea

 

[nafajafam]

83-1. Need a wicket soon

 

[kashyapdkuri]

well we need wickets....kashya needs runs.....!!!

yeah ... more so, i need dravid to bat out the day

 

[inzidabest]

Thats an exaggeration ... i wonder if pak would be able to pick more than 3

3 might happen today only

 

[nafajafam]

I would love to paint that face!! ha

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

If Pakistan get 1 or 2 wickets by the end of today, I think there's a good chance they'll have a substantial 1st innings lead.

 

[RX]

they shud bring shoaib into the attack...

tell him to bowl yorkers or full toss to laxman..

he will surely get out.

 

[samisback]

hmmm i think bowls old enuff for some sweet chin music action by pindi......bring him on next over........both these batters are playing dani boy with such maestery.....what a treat to watch!

 

[nafajafam]

Danish bowling on the right spot

 

[inzidabest]

try both shoabs in tandem

 

[kashyapdkuri]

3 might happen today only

comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

 

[Rob H]

Laxman and Dravid looking solid.

 

[chuck]

dani will be good after day 3 ... till then it's boring stuff

 

[samisback]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer

 

[nafajafam]

84-1. Good over there by Dani.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Laxman and Dravid looking solid.

They are two of best players of spin in world game.

kaneria just needs to show patience here and not experiment to much.

 

[luvthegame]

Dani is hitting right line/length. One good ball will do the damage.

 

[inzidabest]

comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

That does not mean 2 wickets only on the third day. And there are 18 overs remaining today. wait and watch.

 

[kashyapdkuri]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer

Wonder why YK is moving on with AR for more time than usual ... this is a long spell ...

 

[samisback]

pak batters should learn from how dravid n laxman duck under the bouncers how they keep the bats down.....nice technique......
85 for 1 now...that shouldnt have been allowedd as a run.......what a gud umpire rudi is ehh

 

[chuck]

comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

but it is getting better for the bowlers. Odd ball is keeping low and there is turn too.

 

[nafajafam]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer

Cameraman needs to be lashed!!

Anyway, we need a wicket soon and bowl India out by Lunch tomorrow

 

[kashyapdkuri]

That does not mean 2 wickets only on the third day. And there are 18 overs remaining today. wait and watch.

Sure ... I will remember ur post until the end of the day ...

 

[Saqib]

If Pakistan get some wickets before close of play it will be big boost. India are trying to play out the day and not loosing wickets. They will not play big shots, only if our bowlers do not try changing the delivery or maybe foxing them with a slower one. They do bowl a short after that they bowl normal delivery...it should be more like the odd yorker or the slower one.

Danish is bowling well, But the indian can play spin very well, Younis should bring at the other end Shoaib if he is in the field . Maybe bring the strike bowler on in shape of Shahid Khan Afridi

Pakistan getting a wicket today...well they must work for that !

 

[luvthegame]

Cavin...are you from hindustan....

 

[nafajafam]

Another single taken.. and I HATE ARUN LAL!!
86-1

 

[samisback]

Wonder why YK is moving on with AR for more time than usual ... this is a long spell ...

i think they are giving laxman n dravid some net practice b4 they bring pindi into the attack

 

[Amjid Javed]

i think pakistan should maybe give afridi a bowl for a few overs and see if he can get anything out of wicket now.

 

[kashyapdkuri]

Runs coming in tandem and easily for dravid-laxman ... another single down to the legsde

agree

 

[IMMY69]

very true however i found watching afridi and rest of paks batting against kumble and bhagji a lot more of a treat to watch!

 

[nafajafam]

Short ball to end the over. 86-1

 

[chuck]

lead is below 500 now ... pindi is back

 

[kashyapdkuri]

i think they are giving laxman n dravid some net practice b4 they bring pindi into the attack

I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ...

 

[luvthegame]

SA back.

 

[nafajafam]

Pindi is back. I want to see some stumps cartwheel!!

 

[Saqib]

Shoaib on I hope I am right

 

[samisback]

thats more like it pindi comes in n the ball hardly bounces...pitch is playing up if he bowls one of those inside the stumps...u never know

 

[inzidabest]

I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ...

Pakistan do it regularly against India.giving away easy runs like net practice

 

[KB]

The way Shoaib bowled in the first spell, he really deserves to pick up a wicket.

 

[nafajafam]

Short ball, on the off. no threat to batsman

 

[samisback]

I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ...

see thats the difference btw u lot n us...we always serve our guests well

 

[chuck]

invariable bounce here .. pitch is playing up. I think it will not be that easy batting for next 3 days. Good that pak batted first.

 

[samisback]

almost out just some bat which saved laxman but the balls reverse swining peeps gud news

 

[RX]

his run up looks slower and he is also bowling slower

why?

 

[kashyapdkuri]

Pindi is back. I want to see some stumps cartwheel!!

or calories of energy wasted down the drain ...

 

[inzidabest]

shoab akhtar should think it is imran farhat batting

 

[RX]

i take my statement back!
