Pakistan Vs England 1st Test Day 3 thread [14/11/05]

Sami looking for that yorker, not quite getting it right just yet. As soon as he does its curtains for Freddie.
 
Jones can bat and so can Giles....

Flintoff and Tres must be bowled out.
 
ball bounces before fielder at a risky shot but missed and goes for four shouldve dived for it danmd danish cant field for beans
 
Had it been any other team that mistimed shot of Flintoff would've been caught.
 
Cant really call it a chance, it fell short of Kaneria who was running in.
 
as far as im concerned danish owes pakistan the wicket of flintoff now LOL ball goes to slip wihout touching anything from kaneria
 
I reckon Kaneria will get Flintoff. Now we just need to get rid of Trescothick.

Harry Pearson: The truth about reverse swing

1 When it first appeared, reverse swing was considered so strange that many
denounced it as a branch of the dark arts. Reverse swingers were said to
apply magic potions to their eyebrows and, in the shadows of the pavilion at
the dead of night, to bury sacred objects such as bottle-tops, nail files or
razor blades deep beneath the waistbands of their trousers in order to make
the ball take "the other path". Then some white blokes learned how to do it
and suddenly everyone realised that it was actually a totally legitimate
weapon in the fast bowler's arsenal that required an immense amount of skill
to master.

2 The first people to try to explain reverse swing were Han Chinese
philosophers. They argued that like everything else in the universe the
cricket ball is divided into equal and opposing halves of yin (female) and
yang (masculine). Yang is stronger and swifter than yin and so the flight of
the ball inevitably curves with the yang on the outside. However, unlike the
yin, the yang has little endurance and quickly begins to lose its potency.
Bowlers attempt to maintain the vitality of their yang by rubbing it on
their trousers. This works for a while, but too much rubbing is not good for
yang and after 40 overs it starts to wilt again. Now the dull female side is
more powerful than the shiny yang and so the ball begins to swing in the
opposite direction, becoming what in China is know as the yin-swinger.

3 US scientists investigating reverse swing believe that it is a result of
the reproductive habits of oxygen. According to Nasa, when a ball is in
flight fertile oxygen molecules naturally attach themselves to the rough, or
"funky" surface and rub languorously across it emitting a low, husky sound a
bit like Eartha Kitt, right, singing "Stormy Weather". This attracts the
attention of cruising carbon particles and they begin to combine.
Inevitably, the rough surface slows due to the build-up of what aeronautical
engineers call "dirty air" and the ball curves with the smooth side
outermost. After a while, however, the newly formed carbon dioxide begins to
find the "funky" surface just a little bit too, well, rough and goes off to
seek somewhere a little more comfortable where the kids can go out and play.
Inevitably, they settle on the smooth or "suburban" surface of the ball and
it begins to reverse swing.

4Some devout Christians believe that reverse swing does not have a
scientific explanation. They believe it has been put on earth by God to test
our faith in Adam Gilchrist.

You know what we're missing right now? Afridi's 90 miles/hour surprise yorker.
 
inzi needs to wake up and take sami out!!

malik and danish should be bowling
 
Trescothick doing a Shewag in Multan.

This is going to get out of hand very soon.

I don't understand why the Pakistani bowlers leak so many runs when they are not taking any wickets. I mean other bowlers at least contain the batsmen.
 
My faith in Sami's uselessness is growing by leaps and bounds with his every delivery

Pakistan might as well take the new ball now and put Shabbir and Shoaib on.
 
Okay, this is getting too painful to watch. I'm off folks and will probably log in after close of play to check how many more runs Laras record was bettered by.
 
Nasrun-min-Allahi - Fathun Qareeb !!!

Allahs help is on the way and Victiry is nearby !!! Inzi - put your faith to good use neary bhai !!!
 
ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT FROM SAMI... just straight and fast...

All he hopes for is to surprise a batsman with a quick one on the pads or a yorker.

Nowadays all international batsmen practice with bowling machines so for a good batsman there is nothing better than a straight and fast bowler.

Flintoff might as well be playing golf than facing Sami....
