Waqar "If india will field like that then younis khan will soon be getting his 3 figures that was the lazy fielding by the little master"

 

[the true passionist]

i think pak should give india atleast 55 ovrs to bat.

 

[luvthegame]

Pak has to take some risk in order to Get a result. If they can get a lead of 300 and then declare, We may have a result because will be under pressure to save wickets or go for the Runs.

50 overs. 55 means Pak have only 17 more to go.Pakistan need atleast another 100-120 runs

a lead of 300 is a suicidal that will be knocked off in no tim ea min of 350+ is needed here to be safe

Waqar "If india will field like that then younis khan will soon be getting his 3 figures that was the lazy fielding by the little master"

will the fiery, aggresive, bold man-like pak declare in another 14 overs and challenge india[with 50 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

overthrow for a single and bhajji is peed off

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3rd umpire has been called for but moyo is fine

 

[the true passionist]

i'm not blaming woolmer nd inzi...
but if imran,wasim or waqar were captain we would atleast be trying for a win

 

[nafajafam]

will the fiery, aggresive, bold man-like pak declare in another 14 overs and challenge india[with 50 overs

bla bla bla

 

[Oxy]

Singh curses Yuvraj for th e overthrow! He i s really feeling th epressure of not taking a wkt in this series.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

at zaheers pace as soon as no ball is called by umps the batsmen should just slash at it

 

[mooz]

i'm not blaming woolmer nd inzi...
but if imran,wasim or waqar were captain we would atleast be trying for a win

U think wasim or waqar might pull a "Hansie"? Otherwise I don't think any captain would leave India 50 overs to chase a target.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

superb shot for 4 by moyo

 

[nafajafam]

thats was supposed to be the theme of the seriies .. but no .. read cricfo article "india's view bring on the green top" it makes a complete mockery of the PCB makin these types of pitches.

Green top will only last oneday, with the team bowling first getting a HUGE advantage. Remaining 4 days the pitch is flat!!

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan should bat sensibly for 10 overs and go hammer and tongs for the next 10.
remaining 50 overs for India

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lets see if india is willing to declare their innings )

 

[nafajafam]

Guys, please post the score as regularly as possible.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lucky moyo nearly inside edged it to his stumps

Pak 217-2

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

younis goes for a pull but doesnt get it and goes to the fielder at least he seems to be going for some runs now

Pak 217-2

Younis 82

Yousuf 21

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wow gr8 spelling here

"We Want AFRDI"

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

666!!! moyo in the mood here bhajji smashed

 

[mooz]

atleast dravid is a bit positive.

If he really was positive, he wouldn't have so many men patrolling the boundaries. He should let Pakistan score freely, and see if they will set him a targe.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and another 4! moyo onto 31 now

 

[Oxy]

Biggy from MoYo! 666666...followed by 44444444

 

[the true passionist]

yeh moyo... atleast make the day interesting.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

300+ runs have been conceded by bhajji in this series without a wicket

 

[the true passionist]

If he really was positive, he wouldn't have so many men patrolling the boundaries. He should let Pakistan score freely, and see if they will set him a targe.

yeh but he has 4 close fielder for bhajji hoping he will derail pak as he does aus.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pak 227-2

Younis 82

Moyo 31

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Lead 212 runs now

 

[inzidabest]

Harbhajan tells the umpire. Please remove helmet and check whether the batsman is Yousuf and not Afridi

 

[luvthegame]

227-2

 

[MIB]

positive attitude doesn't mean giving easy runs for the opponents...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Harbhajan tells the umpire. Please remove helmet and check whether the batsman is Yousuf and not Afridi

he mustve been wondering to ask that after the 6 and 4 but after seeing moyo defend after that he forgot that arguement

 

[badxhah]

Green top will only last oneday, with the team bowling first getting a HUGE advantage. Remaining 4 days the pitch is flat!!

tyvm much that is same thing i have been sayin all this time .,..but everyone thinks that Karachi has mooved to austarlia where the bounce remains the same all the time.
It doesnt work like that ..first day bounce then the sun will bake the pitch into a snooker table.

 

[the true passionist]

younis playing for 100.

 

[Oxy]

Appeal for LBW-close/

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

close lbw shout there looked out there younis khan is lucky

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

smashed for 4 now by younis

onto 86 adn the 50 pp comes up

 

[inzibhai]

YK got away....

 

[mooz]

somebody tell YK that you can also score on the off-side.

 

[luvthegame]

YK hits a 4 and Shiva thinks they YK should have been given LBW...

 

[mooz]

Rudi cheating again.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

youunis takes single to keep strike

Pak 232-2

Lead 217

Yk - 87

Moyo - 31

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

YK hits a 4 and Shiva thinks they YK should have been given LBW...

can't disagree with shiva there yk was out

 

[the true passionist]

yeh should have been out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yk sweeps for a single 88 now

 

[the true passionist]

hope younis gets his 13 quickly so that he can hit a few afterwards.

 

[luvthegame]

benefit of doubt goes to batsmen. Dhoni was also out but not given. The game is on.

Rudi is not the best of them.

 

[mooz]

can't disagree with shiva there yk was out

To be fair to Rudi, it didn't look out when I saw it live.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hope younis gets his 13 quickly so that he can hit a few afterwards.

i hope so too i cannot remember the last time yk hit a six

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

233-2

 

[MIB]

will india bat today???

 

[Perth93]

to you guys. seeing life even in a dead game.

next time u compare ind-pak to ashes, try doing it without laughing. where's the passion? negativity is the issue, weather is just an excuse coz i've seen past matches played even in early jan.
atleast an undeprepared pitch would 've seen some close finishes.

 

[Oxy]

Honestly, YK haters pi55 me off! Now that he is getting runs, you have nothing better than to criticise his run rate...its s test match...its still the 1st session! Imagine losing the game????

 

[badxhah]

Ashes was a one sided affair for more than 20 yrs ...

 

[inzidabest]

he is going fine. Pakistan are still not safe. They will be safe when there is a lead of 250. Then Pakistan can cut losse

 

[badxhah]

will india bat today???

[Oxy]

How many sub fielders on for Ind-just heard 2 names-Gambhir and Jaffer-whose off??

 

[the true passionist]

will india bat today???

pak camp scared of sehwag.

 

[Oxy]

Khans run up has gone to the dogs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no sir they will bat tomm .... u forgot this is a 7 day long test match

even better it is timeless of course it will still be a draw as india will need to catch their boat home by the time it is about to finish

 

[Oxy]

no indications by pak.
declarations seems 15-20 ovrs away...

pak camp scared of sehwag.

Evry reason to be worried by him despite his awful 2nd inngs record

 

[MIB]

no sir they will bat tomm .... u forgot this is a 7 day long test match

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[sneekysneeky]

great shot by younis

 

[mooz]

Thats the longest hit I have ever seen from YK.
Usually he is not such a clean hitter of the ball.

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan have 15 more overs to bat. 100 runs?

 

[Oxy]

Shiva "He was gone...he was gone...look at it

 

[badxhah]

[mooz]

Pakistan have 15 more overs to bat. 100 runs?
