[Jonty]

[samisback]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well played knock Afridi has done the damage

 

[samisback]

with that i go into hibernation as well..see u peeps whensomething exciting happens !

 

[DM]

That's painful, but well played Afridi

 

[UJ]

A Great Knock anywayz. Really has put Pak in a strong position

 

[Jonty]

me too, i have to study! well done afridi.. anything over 500 is awesome.

 

[inzidabest]

who comes out to bat?

 

[Oxy]

Morning Ritchie...morning everybody.

Looks like I woke up too late too witness Afridis little knock! Whats up with Inzi? Ret Hurt?

Hit on the toe by a skittler from Pathan?

 

[Hash]

stiff back

sore back. Oxy please change the title to Day 2.
Afridi just got out.

 

[Bailan]

Razzaq, now seems to give his bat a big back lift ... indicating his intentions well ... may be we may be in for some Razzaq fireworks

 

[Pace]

They are irritating Razak by bowling way outside the off stump. Frikkin RIP Singh is giving him cheeky smiles. The kid has taken totaly lucky wickets and thinks he's Freddy Flintoff. I wish they had brought him on when Afridi was playing.

 

[Raz]

Akmal out for a duck, 469-6

 

[Big Mac]

Time for Inzi to pad up methinks

 

[Pace]

Oops Kami gone

 

[Raz]

Tried to go over mid on but couldnt quite get past the fielder who holds on to the catch.

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan in a spot of bother here

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the big man walks in now cmon inzi!

 

[Bailan]

Inzi is here.... nice

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi has been allowed a runner here

 

[Nauman]

Thread title changed.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

absolutely retarded leave by razzaq almost cleans him up

 

[inzidabest]

Not a good shot by Akmal.should have taken it easy

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pakistan 471-6 after 109 overs

 

[Bailan]

we eventually hit 550, we in good position, and that seems fairly close at this point ... and then i realize that ... we got no Rana in our ranks today ... Razzaq needs to prove his worth here

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

single for inzi takes him to 81

 

[inzidabest]

More than 550.Pakistan need to bat out atleast 30-40 overs today. I heard Asif can bat a bit.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good ball by rp singh beats razzq

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

472-6 at the end of the over and it seems shoaib malik shall be running for inzi

 

[Bailan]

at this rate razzaq won't be there for a while

 

[inzidabest]

500 will be a psychological advantage.Inzy should take Pakistan past 500

 

[octavian]

472- 6 , we need to get past 550

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi will be watchful here agnst kumble

 

[inzidabest]

472- 6 , we need to get past 550

does not look like.

 

[octavian]

Inzi not looking very comfortable.. his back is really giving some problems

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sweeped for a single by inzi onto 82 now

 

[octavian]

does not look like.

to me it does

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzaq smashes it for 4 PAkistan 477-6

 

[inzidabest]

every run counts now.looks like the picth has started to play some tricks??

 

[octavian]

what a monster has Afridi turned into

another barbaric inning of epic proportions.

 

[inzidabest]

to me it does

might be. but batting till tea is a distant possibility.Akmal should have been more responsible

 

[octavian]

might be. but batting till tea is a distant possibility.Akmal should have been more responsible

dont worry yaar we will get there Inshallah. have some faith in YOUR TEAM

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by abdul razzaq well played looking more aggresive now

 

[Cartman]

we should really get to 600 i think.. shoaib can bat too.. 550 aint going no where.

 

[chuck]

Well played Afridi. But pitch is also useless. Apart from Kumble, I haven't seen any bowler really bothering the batsman. Looks to me like a batting paradise. If it remains like this for next 2-3 days then India too will pile up runs. This might well be another tame draw.

 

[octavian]

"some fans" haven't been following their team properly to know that

 

[samisback]

483 razi retains the strike with that single.........now all of u ...does razi,s innings make sense to u??? this is how test cricket should be played!!!!!!!! afridi is an exception!!!!

one word...danish!

 

[Bailan]

Waqar talking non-sense about Inzi's weight and some laws that don't exist

 

[chuck]

look at the runrate .. one would think it's ODI and not test

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lbw shout that was over ambitious by kumble

 

[samisback]

444444444444444 to raziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 490 now pak

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good shot for four thereafter razzaq onto 29 now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well run razi onto 30 pakistan 491-6

 

[samisback]

pakistan well on truely on track for 600...anything less then 550 would be a huge disapointment........!!!! razi moves on to 30 now.....inzi 82

 

[chuck]

one word...danish!

Well Danish is good but wicket too should assist bowlers. Unlike England, Indians are good players of spin.

 

[octavian]

" Made A room for himself " Waqar

is it made of wood ? or concrete

 

[samisback]

btw peeps who missed me ...inzi still looks in bit of a bother..esp when he plays the sweep shot

 

[samisback]

that was a close call for razi last over replays show was preety close..lucky to escape ....i would call it gud umpiring for a change pak 492 now with that single

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inzi's facial expressions are showing his pain

 

[octavian]

when shud we declare ?

 

[chuck]

On second look .. that lbw shout was very close. Razzaq was lucky. Credit should be given where due .. Kumble had bowled his hearts out on this placid track. He should have had Inzy yesterday.

 

[samisback]

perhaps pakistan can learn from england they have the offsde packed with feilders n are bowling outside the off stump nice plan..bowl on one side of the wicket !!dry up all the runs make the batsman do silly things!

U r right .. except for Sehwag

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good running for 2

 

[samisback]

when shud we declare ?

before tea ...half an hour before tea would be ideal!if we can survive that far that is!

 

[Oxy]

I am surprised Dravid allowed Inzi a runner-its a pre-existing injury.-he could have objected

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 more for inzi altho it was a risky shot couldve been caught and bowled

 

[samisback]

500 comes uppppppp .....with that single well played pakistan!

 

[badxhah]

I am surprised Dravid allowed Inzi a runner-its a pre-existing injury.-he could have objected

DRavid is a cricket gentleman he doesnt stoop to such levels ..

any ways any other captain would also allow this

 

[Oxy]

500-6

So entertaining!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

500 comes up for pakistan

 

[samisback]

I am surprised Dravid allowed Inzi a runner-its a pre-existing injury.-he could have objected

inzi went straight to the umpires dravid wasnt consulted at all ))

 

[samisback]

razi on 36 n inzi 87 now............

 

[Oxy]

DRavid is a cricket gentleman he doesnt stoop to such levels ..

I think Ponting/Vaughan would have objected v Pak. Good to see this kind of approach from Ind-I am sure Inzi would do the same.

 

[octavian]

great batting by pak inthis series so far.. we need to see some fireworks from our bowling

 

[Oxy]

inzi went straight to the umpires dravid wasnt consulted at all ))

maybe-but he could have objected.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

edged into the gap for a single

 

[samisback]

ricky ponting..might have had a few things to say if we were to b playing against them .)...inzi looks aggresive now..come on inzi take it eazy now! nearly a catch through the slips n down to 3rd man for a single
