My point is if you give away runs by bowling short of length.when you should be pitching it up and creating pressure with the new ball.
Dont give them easy runs and allow them to relax.

He needs to stop bowling short. If he pitches it up he gets wickets.

Already we can see that Talha has a little extra bit of pace compared to Sohail. I want to see how he comes back for his second and third spell. Sohail's speeds tended to dip at various times during the first day.

 

[Inswinger]

The crowd noise has overtaken the commentary.

I hate this!!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Good wicket, but we still need one more before lunch.

 

[Lahoria]

Talha's delivery stride seems similar to Tait, what's with Gul bowling short to a batsman who has jus arrived.

 

[minhasuz]

We just see children coming to the ground for the match, they don't even have to pay for it.

 

[161]

I'm predicting Talha will cross the 90mph barrier today .. that's 144.84kph.

 

[Inswinger]

Talha has a slingy action that generates a bit more pace.

 

[minhasuz]

The crowd noise has overtaken the commentary.

I hate this!!!!!

loll yeahh same here

[Islamabadi]

3 more would be nice

 

[minhasuz]

Kashif

How are you watching the match?

Waqar http://cricpk.com/ didn't work?

 

[minhasuz]

Thanks bro !!

No problem is it working for you?

 

[161]

143.4 edged for 4

 

[minhasuz]

Waqar was pretty much happy with Talha so far especially his runup whereas he had many issues with Sohail's

 

[Islamabadi]

143.3

 

[minhasuz]

143.3 again

 

[minhasuz]

Mash Allah good bowling by Talha so far Mash Allah

 

[Inswinger]

Another wicket here and we'll be in business.

 

[minhasuz]

Another four at 144.6

 

[Islamabadi]

144.6 for four

 

[ataullah]

144.6 kph again

 

[Inswinger]

Batsmen using the bowler's pace to get easy runs.....

 

[161]

144.6 again .. come on .. another two-tenths

 

[UJ]

Talha is now pushing towards 145 consistently...good pace

 

[minhasuz]

I would really like Talha bowling to Sanga

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We need to dry up the runs, SL going at 4.25 runs per over.

 

[ataullah]

Talha looks the part for me..must be persisted with. Great prospect..speedy too

 

[minhasuz]

Chacha is there!!

 

[iZeeshan]

We can't let partnerships form, because thats when things turn bad.

Really need Gul or Talha to pick up another before the 15th.

 

[minhasuz]

To me Talha didn't seem to be under too much pressure compare to Sohail Khan

 

[minhasuz]

Out!!!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

2nd down

 

[Islamabadi]

gone...gul takes another one... malike takes a nice catch

 

[Plasma]

Sanaga gone, Malik takes a great catch!

 

[minhasuz]

What a catch Mash Allah!! MAlik Bhai well done MAsh Allah

 

[Inswinger]

Brilliantly taken by Malik!!!

 

[natalia]

OUT! caught by Malik!
Paranavitana goes

 

[Plasma]

Not sanga actually. the other dude.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

What an awesome catch by Shoaib Malik!!

 

[161]

Brilliant catch from Malik Cheetah !

 

[natalia]

8 to go

 

[minhasuz]

Now it would be a real test for Talha by bowling to experience and class players

 

[iZeeshan]

INCREDIBLE CATCH!

Just what we needed!

35-2!

 

[sohaib17]

wht a superb catch by Malik

 

[minhasuz]

Mahela second last innings as a captain maybe last one

 

[Lightning]

Excellent. We have in Talha, a 20 yr. old capable of hitting 90 mph. Sweeet.

 

[Inswinger]

:et's get 1 of these 2 quickly.

 

[Plasma]

Does anyone else feel that the camera work has been horrible? No good angles at ALL!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

nice ball to Mahela first up..

 

[minhasuz]

This catch reminded me of Collingwood who is a good fielder at that point

 

[Islamabadi]

nice delivery by gul

 

[161]

Beauty from Gul .. he's bowling much better today.

 

[UP]

Good start by Pakistan!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon Talha.. nice opportunity to make a name for urself..

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We need to get Jaya and Sanga out early! Would be awesome if we get them before lunch!

 

[minhasuz]

Arafat is on

 

[Islamabadi]

arfat comes in for talha

 

[sohaib17]

pathetic camera work


can't show the catch at all

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Arafat into the attack..

 

[Inswinger]

135 from Yasir

 

[Islamabadi]

pathetic camera work


can't show the catch at all

i agree

 

[Cricket Fan]

Good time to bring Yasir in. Talha doesn't look threating at all

 

[Inswinger]

pathetic camera work


can't show the catch at all

Cameraman has expected a boundary.

 

[Islamabadi]

it should be atleast one, kaneria is after it so two... lol @ raja

 

[dblock]

Does anyone else feel that the camera work has been horrible? No good angles at ALL!

lack of cameras at the ground.

 

[Islamabadi]

Good time to bring Yasir in. Talha doesn't look threating at all

i disagree

 

[Inswinger]

Good time to bring Yasir in. Talha doesn't look threating at all

So your the official Mr. Pessimistic for today.

 

[minhasuz]

Those white people seems to be enjoying. No sercurity fears

 

[UP]

Nice shot 4 by Sanga

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Nice shot by sanga for four

 

[Random Aussie]

Probably going to bowl Talha at Gul's end after Gul's spell ends.

 

[minhasuz]

Talha had bowled a better first over compare to Arafat

 

[Salman]

Where did those hippys come from?

 

[Cricket Fan]

:et's get 1 of these 2 quickly.

Agreed. Can be potentially a long partnership otherwise

 

[minhasuz]

Probably going to bowl Talha at Gul's end after Gul's spell ends.

Nope

 

[Islamabadi]

Those white people seems to be enjoying. No sercurity fears

allah ke qasam say i thought they were pathans

 

[salman24]

They didn't show the malik catch with a proper angle!
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
