[Da Best]

1 run for Malik and Chai ka time!!!!

 

[Islamabadi]

this session was dominated by cuptaan and ex cuptaaaaan

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Anyone have a link to watch this match

 

[Oxy]

TEA

213-2 (83 overs)

Younis Khan: 101*

[Da Best]

this session was dominated by cuptaan and ex cuptaaaaan

Great session for Pakistan!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 213/2 at TEA

Pakistan need to bat atleast till Tea or even all day tomorrow to really be back in the match.

Our tail is prone to collapse so batsmen need to get bulk of runs here!

 

[On_the_up]

Just to bring the situation into prospective, at the current rate of scoring, pakistan will just about get to the follow on target around tea time tomorrow.

Not just the tail

 

[Salman]

SL walking back out

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to get through last session with out losing a wicket here!

 

[Sparhawk]

We don't even need bhanja in this match, our captains can handle Srilanka by themselves

 

[Oxy]

'Spectator of the Day' award!!!

RS25,000 presented by Umar Gul to the winner - usual scrum of about 50 nobodies wanting to get on TV when the cheque was presented.

The winner just wanted the money!!!!

 

[Da Best]

Now, they need some quick runs and be cautious at the same time.

Not bad for 5 hours sitting doing absolutely nothing.

 

[Sparhawk]

It would be a good idea to attack the spinners, especially Murli who hates being hit over the top.

 

[HuZi]

maiden to start with

 

[Da Best]

Mendis in.

 

[HuZi]

136 runs partnership now

 

[Oxy]

Nice lecture from Waqar re: Inti & YK moaning about the pitch

 

[Salman]

Shot! 50 for malik!

 

[HuZi]

SHOT malik 50 gud job

 

[sehban]

50 for malik... amazing innings
This shows the true class of the man

 

[Oxy]

50 up for Shoaib Malik

Great reaction to being sacked - keep it going.

He needs to triple it at least

 

[Genghis]

Nice lecture from Waqar re: Inti & YK moaning about the pitch

Yeah thats right ... well said!

 

[Genghis]

Big bear hug by Younis for Malik's 50!

 

[HuZi]

the commentators want to know how many over murli bowled in test match k=level: 6934 overs I think

 

[Oxy]

the commentators want to know how many over murli bowled in test match k=level: 6934 overs I think

What a guess...

 

[Genghis]

Waqar: If Shoaib is fit he's a real asset. Problem is that he is never fit!

 

[Genghis]

What was that from Mendis ... full toss over Younis' head!

 

[Zeenix]

Mendis trying to beat the keeper

 

[Couch Cricketer]

What was that from Mendis ... full toss over Younis' head!

was trying to loose younis concentration alomost worked the next ball

 

[Zeenix]

Partnership 143 Now

 

[Zeenix]

What kind of shot was Younis Trying to play

 

[Genghis]

Geez this pitch is slow ... Shoaib has enough time to step back and hit a ball spinning back through the offside.

 

[HuZi]

222-2

 

[Salman]

222-2 Double Nelson!

 

[Genghis]

What kind of shot was Younis Trying to play

Any bat on that and it would have been a four, plus he couldn't get out on that ball.

 

[Zeenix]

Malik playing nice and straight.

 

[Zeenix]

Single to Malik

 

[Zeenix]

How much more to get to avoid followon

 

[HuZi]

226-2 afte 89

 

[Oxy]

How much more to get to avoid followon

443 or 445 runs in total I think...

Long way to go Zee...

 

[HuZi]

single

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Congrats to Malik on getting a 50 - it was important for him to get runs cos he has a lot of people wanting him to fail.

Lets hope he can get a big score now

 

[Zeenix]

443 or 445 runs in total I think...

Long way to go Zee...

Given the propensity of our batting to collapses, these two need to be here until Tea tomorrow

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Oh and Congrats to YK on getting a ton - class act

 

[offcutter]

Notice the difference between Murali and Danish. Murali, much fuller, the ball coming at the batsman forcing him to play.

Danish, too short and outside off stump. Danish spins the ball nicely too, but just didn't bowl in the right areas to threaten the batsmen.

 

[HuZi]

218 to avoid follow on

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Malik run out????? 3rd umpire here

 

[natalia]

GONE

RUN OUT

 

[HuZi]

Gone

 

[Islamabadi]

oh oh

 

[Oxy]

Damn!

Malik is tun out

 

[sehban]

malik out

 

[Salman]

Malik Walking, run out!

 

[Zeenix]

218 to avoid follow on

Malik Runout

 

[Islamabadi]

what a way to get out

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

DAMN - Malik run out

 

[Genghis]

Darn ... run out!

 

[amarmak]

maliks own fault i guess... played well for his 56

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was a canny throw by Murali - hard luck Malik, decent knock from him

 

[Salman]

pretty stupid being runout in a test...Let's get the daggers out,

 

[Zeenix]

Ab tera Kia hoga. followon..

 

[Oxy]

Stupid run.

He didnt even run in a straight line - ended up running about 25yds, instead of 22 yds!

227-3 off 90.2 overs

New batsman is Misbah ul Haq

 

[HuZi]

who's the new man?

 

[Couch Cricketer]

should have ran straight
unlucky to get out runout after playing so well

 

[Da Best]

Malik Run out, whose the next batsman???

 

[Zeenix]

I don't think Misbah plays the spinners too well.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Howay Misbah do us proud

 

[Da Best]

Misbah in, hope he does well.

 

[HuZi]

I hope this won't be the same thing as the srilankans a BIG partnership then mahela gone then the collapse began I hope this doesn't happen to pakistan

 

[Genghis]

Run out wasn't neccesary. Ran sideways, a straight run would have been easily in.

 

[Oxy]

He didnt even run in a straight line - ended up running about 25yds, instead of 22 yds!

[

I take that back - he ran about 28 yds!!!

 

[Da Best]

Howay Misbah do us proud

INSH ALLAH.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

We cant afford to lose another wicket today cos Bhanja will be in next and he is a guaranteed wicket for the Lankans

 

[Zeenix]

Waise i hope Younis goes on to make a double or a triple century, with Misbah scoring a ton too

 

[TaZ]

stupid runout - ran in a diagonal to avoid mendis who was backing up and got run out!?

 

[Genghis]

I don't think Misbah plays the spinners too well.

He played them well in the one dayers.

 

[Zeenix]

He played them well in the one dayers.

I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
