Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st Test - Day 2 | Karachi | 22/2/09

[minhasuz]

The most amazing thing about Kaneria is that his average is still in the low 30s. I think he should retire after this game.

I don't think his average will even remain in low 30s after this match

 

[iafzal]

oh oh is this another Hair incident coming up?

 

[Genghis]

Umps looking at the ball ... maybe a change of ball.

 

[minhasuz]

Ball tempering

 

[iafzal]

I want ball tampering and just forfit this match

 

[Islamabadi]

I want ball tampering and just forfit this match

that would be great

 

[minhasuz]

Gul warming up

 

[tauseefm]

come on guyz get a wicket or two(at least i can go to sleep with some dignity.its 1:45 am

 

[Genghis]

Double century coming up for both these batsmen the way things are going! Who is going to step up for Pakistan when they bat?

 

[Islamabadi]

dignity...lol

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Double century coming up for both these batsmen the way things are going! Who is going to step up for Pakistan when they bat?

Supposedly Iqbal because he is a senior player and has experience over Alam and others...

 

[iafzal]

YK smile is still there, I guess he can take even more beating before he gets serious

 

[Bublu Bhuyan]

I don't think his average will even remain in low 30s after this match

He now averages 34.27 with the ball.

[Genghis]

YK still smiling ... thats what we need. Hopefully it rubs off on our batsmen when they go out to bat.

LOL )

well by looking at SL bowling(murli and mendis) they are easily capable of taking 20 wickets in 3 days. muril can turn the ball on a glass and this wicket is atleast turning a bit. u will see when he will bowl this pitch would look like day 100 pitch

I disagree ... it doesn't look like theres much in the pitch at all even for Murali.

 

[qaiser]

team should be
butt
nasir
yunus
misbah
ahmed/ malik
afridi
sarfaraz
arafat
gul
talha
aamir

i hope u r right but i think otherwise

 

[Islamabadi]

that was a good one.... he just got lucky there

 

[Genghis]

Play and a miss of Kaneria ... maybe Samara is just tired.

 

[Rudi hater]

And then they say no one turns up to stadias when they dead pitches like they do. Pakistan has to be the worst place to play cricket in. ICC doesn't need to destroy Pakistan cricket for that we have PCB. PCB is destroying the game and turning the people away from cricket.

On this dead pitch even Inti can pad up and make a 100. That means we will have not deserving players like Nasir in the side for the next test. DEAD PITCH 100 for everyone.

 

[Islamabadi]

hey look at the bright side... we might get 30 overs in a session for the first time

 

[Genghis]

Well said RD. Thats exactly it. Why would anyone want to come and watch such a boring test match.

 

[tauseefm]

hey look at the bright side... we might get 30 overs in a session for the first time

Max 10 overs i would say

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Hahaha Waqar Younis commentary "It can always be dangerous when Kaneria is throwing the ball. He can be erratic on the field and you have to take care of yourself." ) )

 

[tauseefm]

why don't we make fast pitches when we have way better fast bowling attack then SL?

 

[Genghis]

Kaneria losing his head a bit ... throwing the ball at the batsmen. Taufel had a word with him there.

 

[minhasuz]

DAni almost had his man

 

[OZGOD]

SL will declare when they get to 800

 

[Genghis]

Slip comes in now after a ball passed where a slip would have been

 

[minhasuz]

500 up

 

[Genghis]

500 up ... with the loss of only 3 wickets ... OUCH!

 

[minhasuz]

Lunch

 

[Islamabadi]

we will get 30 0vers in this session

 

[minhasuz]

Rudi Hater, I think add Steve DAvis in your sign.

 

[Genghis]

Last over before lunch to be bowled by Malik.

 

[Islamabadi]

we will get 30 0vers in this session

i am so happy.... issed:

 

[tauseefm]

i hope mr davis eats spicy food and get upset stomach

 

[Genghis]

thats lunch ... 3/505

 

[Rudi hater]

Rudi Hater, I think add Steve DAvis in your sign.

What has he done? these aussies are all crap except Taufel.

 

[tauseefm]

one good sign, we bowled 30 overs in this session

 

[Islamabadi]

one good sign, we bowled 30 overs in this session

it makes me so happy

 

[minhasuz]

What has he done? these aussies are all crap except Taufel.

Taufel is only good Aussie umpire rest are useless. Steve Davis turned 2 plumb decision

 

[qaiser]

What has he done? these aussies are all crap except Taufel.

another lbw not given by Mr.Davis of sohail. could have been his 3 rd wkt

 

[Inswinger]

In out. Its past 2 AM here in NY.
Dont worry guys. This match will be a draw.

 

[tauseefm]

have you seen the guy who made this pitch? why pcb is keep hiring those "un per" curators? i think these people used to do "Lipai" on roofs in villages and now they are making pitches for PCB.

 

[Genghis]

I would have agreed that a draw is most likely here if our bowlers had been a bit more disciplined. But the way SL have gone about it, with a good run rate, they have given themselves a very good chance of a win!

 

[minhasuz]

Back from lunch. Lets see what YK and his boys do

 

[minhasuz]

Dani to bowl

 

[Genghis]

Dani appeals for a catch for the keeper ... but I think the ump got that one right.

 

[Islamabadi]

so what else is new... dani with 5 good balls and a crappy last one that goes for 4

 

[Genghis]

Gul back onto bowl after lunch

 

[Genghis]

Gul with a 125K bouncer. Is this speed gun right?

 

[Islamabadi]

there is something wrong with speed gun

 

[MIG]

Could there be something wrong with Pakistani bowling?

 

[Islamabadi]

Could there be something wrong with Pakistani bowling?

apparently

 

[Da Best]

Ok, i was busy so what did i miss.

 

[wez4all]

no, its the pitch with no life

 

[Da Best]

Don't know man this isn't right.

 

[Islamabadi]

nothing much da best.... and dani throws more garbage

 

[Genghis]

This time Kaneria starts off with a full toss ... another 4

 

[minhasuz]

Ok, i was busy so what did i miss.

A plumb which was not given by Davis

 

[Da Best]

So we should also make 500 if there's no life on this pitch.

 

[Islamabadi]

2 full toss and 2 4s

 

[Genghis]

Another boundary ... Thats two pathetic balls from Kaneria ...

 

[minhasuz]

Dani should retire now seriously

 

[Da Best]

A plumb which was not given by Davis

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! against who and when and which bowler.

 

[wez4all]

as i said earlier kaneria is useless, we need to find a spinner or get saqlain back in team

 

[minhasuz]

Misbah should bowl instead of Dani

 

[IronMan2009]

start of as a pie - cork

 

[Da Best]

Guys can i have a link?? PLEASE!?

 

[Islamabadi]

finally a decent ball from dani

 

[IronMan2009]

Another pie - waqar

[minhasuz]

Sohail Khan the bowler and Sawarma. the batsmen I think

 

[Genghis]

Kaneria surprisingly puts a good ball in an over of utter rubbish.

 

[Da Best]

They should make it up with a good batting preformance. I hope they do that.
