'Well Danish Kaneria has at least managed to hit the ball, which is more than can be said for previous rabbit Shabbir.'

Same guy again

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Amjid Javed]

Flintoff peppering akthar with bouncers.

hope he hits akthar in head (ala devon malcom)!! then akthar can come out like a wilder
beast and tear thru englands batting with ball!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Flintoff testing middle of picth again!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

attempted york by flinty as akhtar plays it back well anyone else notice that akhtar looks as if he hasnt slept in days

 

[Amjid Javed]

Play and miss to end over.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Flintoff peppering akthar with bouncers.

hope he hits akthar in head (ala devon malcom)!! then akthar can come out like a wilder
beast and tear thru englands batting with ball!

lol ya so shoaib can send the english to the nearest hospital with severe head fractures

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akthar getting treatment for knock on wrist! hope hes ok!

 

[Amjid Javed]

lol ya so shoaib can send the english to the nearest hospital with severe head fractures

) ala gary kirsten!

 

[tailender]

Sami had really improved his bouncer by the end of the eindian tour. with 300 on the board i think our bowlers will attack rather than play the waiting game which england succesfully played.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

thats not good shoaib getting taped in left wrist

"good news for pakistan is that its shoaib's left wrist that is being tapes"

"bad news?"

"bad news is that it is his left wrist"

Harmy comes on to bowl to kaneria *gulp*

 

[Amjid Javed]

Harmison on.

kaneria gone! caught in gully!

 

[Raz]

Harmison on, Kaneria kee shamat.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and kaneria is caught pakistan done for 274

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 274 all out

30 runs added and 4 wkts lost this morning!

Good all round performance with ball by england!

 

[Raz]

Added 30 for the last 4 wickets.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pakistan will have to bowl out of their skins to defend this inshallah the pacers can do it for us

 

[Amjid Javed]

Harmison 3/37 and flintoff pick of bowlers with 4/68

 

[Amjid Javed]

Time for our bowlers to try and salvage sumat here. we are atleast 75-100 runs short of a good score here!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 all round performance by england and they are truly on top to restirct pakistan on abatting pitch

 

[Raz]

Last 9 wickets fell for just 113 runs.

 

[Raz]

Shoaib going to be pumped up thats for sure. I hope Sami is as well.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Last 9 wickets fell for just 113 runs.

yea this is relatively disgusting that when finally our top order clicks the inform middle order cant keep it going altho lady luck was on eng's side but it isnt over yet, no sir, not by a longshot

 

[Officer Barbrady]

the bloody stream refuses to work!

 

[Pathan007]

now whoz your money on? no afridi or yes afridi.

 

[Raz]

yea this is relatively disgusting that when finally our top order clicks the inform middle order cant keep it going altho lady luck was on eng's side but it isnt over yet, no sir, not by a longshot

No it isnt.

 

[Gasherbrum]

yep, about 80 runs short of a decent score, but probably 150 short of a good one. lets hope the batsmen learn to turn those starts into hundreds for the rest of the series.

 

[fair_play]

The match becomes interesting now.

Pakistan need to be punished to wake up. I really dont care if they get a good hiding, because ultimately they either have to play better cricket, or be prepared to accept their current ranking.

274 is maybe 75 short of what they might have got with more application - but Flintoff and Harmison have shown them up.

Now lets see what our bowlers and fieders have been practising these last two months.

 

[Pathan007]

England will be 70odd b4 lunch without wicket

 

[MIG]

Jinx thread on its way for England.... Tayyar ho jao Tresco mian !

 

[Pathan007]

1st wicket will fall on 120 something

 

[Raz]

Jinx thread on its way for England.... Tayyar ho jao Tresco mian !

Im expecting big things from you in this England innings.

 

[Pathan007]

2nd will fall just under 200

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

these huddles with shabbir always makes me laff he towers above

 

[nedian21]

nedian how can u say the match is over before eng have even started

cric devil bhai bcoz i know that on a flat bed like this 274 is a nothing score barring Shoaib's miraclous spell which i dont think will happen. come on ya u think Pak can restrict Eng under 274. I hope they prove me wrong but its an uphill task now

 

[Pathan007]

3rd will fall between 250 and 4th will fall between 350

 

[Gasherbrum]

is it just me or are those drop down menus not working?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

tresco will go this over right now inshallah

 

[Pathan007]

after 4th wicket England will fold out for about 380 to 390odd runs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akthar to start with ball in hand

tresco/strauss in middle.

 

[Amjid Javed]

1st ball short and straight into trescos body.

maro maro!

 

[Monsee]

England will be 70odd b4 lunch without wicket

Do you always have this defeatest mentality or will it get any worse, as the series progresses...if answer is 'Yes', Mods a one two month ban will definitely help this guy

 

[Amjid Javed]

ooh! ball whistles past off-stick

tresco risky leave

akthar up to 90 mph

 

[Raz]

1st ball short and straight into trescos body.

maro maro!

) )

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

great ball almost caight trescothick looking

 

[Pathan007]

hmmmmm. no AFRIDI will cost. just watch u fans

 

[Gasherbrum]

wow! akhtar what a beauty

 

[Amjid Javed]

akthar now beats tresco for pace, hits pads going down leg.

 

[Raz]

I wonder who will open with Shoaib?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

93.9 mph attempted yorker

 

[MIG]

What speed is he bowling at ( I mean Shoaib and not the speed Tresco is running awat at )

 

[Monsee]

Jinx thread on its way for England.... Tayyar ho jao Tresco mian !

Maaro maaro sabb issi ki 'Jinx Thread' ka kamaal hai

 

[Adeel786]

LAST DELIVERY :93.8 mph

 

[Amjid Javed]

tresco finally gets bat on ball. good line from akthar thus far

 

[lahori]

Shoaib already at 151km/h with his 3rd ball!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

all i can say nado it is loud in the crowd as shoiab bowling runs up

 

[Gasherbrum]

a fair crowd, probably not bigger than yesterday but then agan its still early on in the day.

 

[Amjid Javed]

No ball, 1st runs on board for england.

 

[MIG]

hmmmmm. no AFRIDI will cost. just watch u fans

Do you actually care about Pak winning here or is your interest limited to one person in 11 ?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no ball by shoaib

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 for tresco, flicks ball down legside.

poor stuff from kami behind stumps.

eng 5/0

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

shoab didnt' talk at all before this series....so lets see wat happens now....after no bragging....

 

[Pathan007]

marney sey kuch nahi hoga. dimagh larana parey ga. jo in bowlers key pass hai nhai

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i hope raza makes a big hundred in 2nd innings and shuts all raza inclusion instead of afridi haters up

 

[Pathan007]

Do you actually care about Pak winning here or is your interest limited to one person in 11 ?

that 1person is equal to whole team.
