Pakistan V India | 2nd Test Faisalabad | Official Day 5 Thread [25/1/06]

[Mercenary]

On the surface it looks like another draw but then so did Multan vs England.

Will Pakistan take the initiative and send Afridi in at the fall of a wicket and attempt to set India an imposing total or will we see both sides resigned to a draw?

 

[inzidabest]

Looks like no one is keen on todays play

 

[samisback]

guess whose here now?

come on u can do a bit better then that.................

yeah right its me..no one seems excited

 

[inzidabest]

m here most of the time. I hope some wickets tumble today. would be fun.

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan should give India some overs and pick up some wickets

 

[samisback]

on straight drive they were showing the gr8 nusrat fateh ali khans doucmentery.....for a few min though didnt know he was from fsb himself.....!

 

[nafajafam]

45 mins to game and the talk has already started!

 

[samisback]

45 mins to game and the talk has already started!

u should have concentrated more on ur maths classes......n shouldnt have skipped them extra classes as well
its 25 minutes

 

[samisback]

i hope paksitan bat all day long...........kami scores 100...youni khan 200! freedi 179*, yousaf 150............inzi sleeps all day long! indians running after the ball all day......yuvi gets injured by one of freediz power rocket shots whilst feilding at silly midon!

 

[samisback]

dhoni giving interview to deano says : he uses the word kay in english alot......like i was baating on 96 n shoaib came in the attack i told pathan kay first few balls are going to be loosners i will go after them.....kay first ball i got the boundery n 100))

 

[nafajafam]

u should have concentrated more on ur maths classes......n shouldnt have skipped them extra classes as well

[samisback]

shiva on the pitch : if u want to build ur house have the pakistani curator make it...!!!!! )))

 

[samisback]

I did, but ma mind was elsewhere!!

haaayeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......u reminding me of chemistry with that now i wont be able to do the cav special for the peeps

 

[inzidabest]

i saw the highlights. its not that easy pitch to bat on now.younis and akmal had anxious moments

 

[samisback]

nothing much has changed on the pitch thats why shiva said that inzi........!!! for my money paksitan should bat all day long n give our bowlers the rest + inzi as well...!!!!!!!much needed one i must say!

 

[inzidabest]

Inzi should not come out to bat. but what surprised me was that the team decided to call back Malik.why?

 

[samisback]

n btw inzi congrats on becoming the club captain well done!!!
play is about to begin peeps!!!!

 

[samisback]

[samisback]

[samisback]

[inzidabest]

2 runs to younis down fine leg....helped on his way

yousaf padded up having his chaaa

[samisback]

[samisback]

157 now pak with that single

 

[samisback]

gud cover drive by younis to end the over 158 now retains the strike..with that i take a short break!

 

[luvthegame]

there goes waqar again

" Pak batted on a good batting wicket and India batted on a difficult wicket, show how determined and good indian batting is"

Waqar is definitely pro-indian. Is he crazy or what. This is the same wicket.

 

[the true passionist]

hope Pak starts to play some shorts soon....though india has a very defensive field.

 

[octavian]

hello gents. good to be here

 

[Oxy]

Good morning to my fellow commies...

 

[inzidabest]

kamentry please

 

[Nauman]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

 

[samisback]

what the hell waqar : i was impressed by irfan pathans batting the way he batted was gud u dont expect a fast ( cav stresses fast ) bowler to bat like he did......waqar thinks 120 kph is fast !!! wait waqar till u see me bowl

 

[octavian]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

you are not alone nomi boy

 

[luvthegame]

Except Holding all the losers, Waqar, Deano, Lal and Shiva making pro-indian comments.

We need Rameez and Sanjay back.......................

 

[samisback]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

ur the only one!!!!

beats kami again out side the off stump the bacha pathan....
next ball kami smashes it for 1 though!!!! 162 now india

 

[inzidabest]

pathan seems to be bowling well. missed the edge again

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

salaam everyone. Pathan is bowling quite beautifully early in the day here today pak batsmen should be a lil careful

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

Bhai i think we have a chance too however we shall have to begin smashing and compile a large lead before we even think of risking it

akmal tries a big heave and misses at least the idea is right

 

[octavian]

thos feminina's are more optimistic than you cav

paratha man

 

[luvthegame]

Shiva is saying that Indian bowlers are better today.....

 

[samisback]

kami beaten again playing his shots off side the off stump this time rp singh beats the bat..........kami take it eazy boy ...whole day awaits u!! n not to mention ur century as well

 

[samisback]

salaam everyone. Pathan is bowling quite beautifully early in the day here today pak batsmen should be a lil careful

waslam...why should we be carefull ..we should go for it alot of batting records are begging to be broken!!!!!!

 

[luvthegame]

Waqar should not Forget the spinless performance by the team he led against Australia in Sharjah which lost in 2 days......

Compared to that this Pak team is 1000% better, why, Because Waqar is not longer the Captain.

 

[samisback]

4444444444444444444444444444444 kami !!! 166 now pak

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

not timed the greatest but smashed to mid on fence by akmal onto 65 now

 

[samisback]

thos feminina's are more optimistic than you cav

paratha man

coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

 

[octavian]

waqar has always given an impresion of being a jacka*s.

Waqar the bowler was great , but waqar the man is what i mentioned above

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good shot ehre by akmal for 2 great timing akmal getting better all the time

 

[samisback]

the first real sensible ting said by waqar all morning : i would like to see freeedi come in next but its yousaf whose paded up that shows u pakistans intentions

what a shot smashed by kami races away 2 runs..............
next ball bacha pathan beats kami again outside the offstump

 

[octavian]

coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

never say never in cricket

 

[the true passionist]

i hope pak atleast try something here.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

whoa whoa sami!?? we want to win this match not let them do it with 20 overs left in the day

Neways i think our bowling attack is fine here infact other than abdul razzaq for rana this is perfect it is the pitch however we bowled well to get india wiht 4 quick wickets yesterday so it is not an impossibility to make a match of this

 

[samisback]

nearly out kami just over bhaji scoops in the air 2 more runs to end the over 172 now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oooo that was a chance that went over hathajan akmal survives and gets 3 for it

Pakistan 172-1

 

[octavian]

indians are bowling well the old ball

not easy to smash it around atm

 

[samisback]

edged again by kami n find the outside edge past first slip ....didnt carry though 444444

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

edged and wide akmal living dangerously but it goes for 4

 

[sneekysneeky]

4 edged through the slips by kamran

 

[the true passionist]

doesn't matter how the runs come now....

 

[Slugger]

did anyone pick up on shiva suggesting that the indians are REVERSING it? He's such an idiot it was just because pathan is a lefty and the ball will naturally go toward off stump due to the angle but WAQAR who was a fast bowler himself suggested that it was seam movement that pathan was getting!

good so ill see u on the other side of reality along with me

 

[inzidabest]

30 more oovers is what Pakistan can bat if they want to force a result. How much can be made in that. can Pakistan reach 320 lead?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hahaha kumble looks so constipated in the field and it is called "concentration" by arun

 

[samisback]

i must add one more thing in order for pakistan to pull of the unlikly they needed atleast 120 to 150 runs lead!!!!!!!

bacha pathan right on the money with his lolly pop pace deliveries...
kami pulls the next one hard but mistimes it to midon
pak 177 now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

akmal goes for a pull shot but doesnt get it into the gap

 

[the true passionist]

if the indians are bowling well...why can't we give it a shot

 

[samisback]

wallopppppppppppppp 4444444444444444 smashes bacha pathan 181 now to end the over

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pulled for 4 by kami well hit there

Pak 181-1

 

[sneekysneeky]

4444 great shot by kamran on the leg side

 

[badxhah]

i think a supportive delcartion is req here ..

 

[octavian]

thast the way boys

come on ....we can still do it

 

[samisback]

30 more oovers is what Pakistan can bat if they want to force a result. How much can be made in that. can Pakistan reach 320 lead?
