[Sparhawk]

tailenders i see, time for Kaneria!

Please God don't let Kaneria get the last wicket

 

[cricwiz]

47 overs 183 runs 0 wickets

if the last wicket stays for sometime... Dani can earn a double century .....

WHAT AN EFFORT BY KANERIA

 

[asifp]

bring Talha on, perfect chance to give him a boost, allowing him to collect his first test wicket

 

[pakistani pride]

MYK doing everything te help Dani, i really feel sorry for him . . .

 

[Da Best]

That was close

 

[ItsMeK1]

finally talha!!!
come on get your 1st wicket

 

[Da Best]

583/9

 

[Sparhawk]

Yes! Kaneria's off.

Talha comes in with his beautiful action and horrible run up.

 

[Da Best]

444444

 

[ItsMeK1]

younis khan saying to talha " aik baal hai tere pass....... wicket leyni hai"

 

[the Great Khan]

right, lets bowl em out and then get as close as possible to that target!!...I havea feeling if we put em under pressure we can do a number on them!...hope we can avoid the follow on!

 

[MIG]

right, lets bowl em out and then get as close as possible to that target!!...I havea feeling if we put em under pressure we can do a number on them!...hope we can avoid the follow on!

The only number I can think of is for Kaneria - 420.

 

[cricwiz]

hahahahaha... what a shot by murali

 

[Vegitto1]

tailender batting well is always bad coz it gives them a confidence bost which then helps them in their bowling!!!

 

[Oxy]

TRAVESTY comes up - for loss of 9 wkts

 

[ItsMeK1]

talha being smacked

 

[Vegitto1]

Talha loses quite a lot of pace due to his gather before delivery

 

[ItsMeK1]

gone talha got his 1st wicket finally

 

[Muhammad]

Murali's not the easiest guy to bowl to for a nervous youngster on debut!

 

[Amjid Javed]

SL past 600 now...

Hopefully pakistan will be batting soon! Get one of these Tail-enders out!

 

[cricwiz]

great to see Younis and Gul encouraging Talha on his first wicket ....

 

[ItsMeK1]

nice to see everyone pampering talha on his way back to pavilion surely a nice booster for the youngster

 

[Eagle Eyes]

Talha's first wicket.. The wild Murli...

 

[Da Best]

Nice to see Talha getting his first, now pressure on the openers, they need a good start.

 

[Eagle Eyes]

We need to score a quick hundred here... I wish we had Nasir.. the dream would have come true.

 

[Da Best]

Talha's average in first class is 28, not bad.

 

[asifp]

we will lose Salman Butt before end of day

 

[Vegitto1]

we will lose Salman Butt before end of day

)

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

We need to score a quick hundred here... I wish we had Nasir.. the dream would have come true.

Even Murali and Fernando added 34 runs in 5 overs at an average RR of 6.80. SL total RR was 4.01. Let's see if our openers can at least play as positive as SL tail was playing...

 

[ItsMeK1]

[Sparhawk]

34-0 (4.2)

 

[Da Best]

Imagine if they brought MNM right now

 

[Sparhawk]

This is a good release of the frustration built up over the last two days.

 

[usman_ash14]

Positive stuff from Manzoor, I like his backfoot play.
Play aggressive because at the end of play no one is gonna look at how much time he spent on the crease like he did in last test match, every one will look at how many runs he got before getting out.

 

[ItsMeK1]

another 444444444444 off tushara by khurram
nice nudge between 3rd slip n gully

 

[Da Best]
