[zMario]

Ahahahha Inzamam

 

[iZeeshan]

Play back on, surprising tosee Danish start.But he is getting malicious turn.

 

[Rana]

dani with a atacking run-ip

 

[UJ]

4 to collingwood...

 

[Rana]

44444

 

[Easa]

Kaneria bowling well but 2 4's in this over.

 

[Rana]

gul bahar bak on

 

[zMario]

Ugh another 1

 

[Easa]

Gul on from the nursery end.

 

[Rana]

no ball 4444444

 

[Easa]

No ball and four.

Three fours in seven balls after lunch.

 

[Easa]

Gul needs to correct his line

 

[Rana]

cmon, we need a wicket man

 

[iZeeshan]

I am not exactly saying Pak is losing it, but what upsets me is that Pak lose it after good starts. I am way to lazy to find them, but it happens all the time. Or is it just cricket? Like for exampe in the Pk Aus series, when Pak got that start and Gilly and Langer (?) cleaned them up to a total of 340!

 

[Rana]

4444444

 

[UJ]

137/3

Cut shot by Colly goes for 4

 

[Easa]

Apparently Bob said something in the news in the morning that this series is just a sideshow for Ashes - thats how the media is treating it

Completely agree with Bob.

 

[Rana]

444 again

 

[UJ]

141/3

another 4 to colly, edged

 

[Easa]

Two fours edged away

 

[Swaraj!!]

Get Razzak back on!!! He should get a fifer today

 

[Easa]

5 4's in 12 balls after Lunch.

 

[Oxy]

5 4's in 12 balls after Lunch.

Beastly from Paul Cauliflower

 

[Rana]

we need wickets, therefore we need razzak

 

[zMario]

[MIG]

Surely they cant go on at this pace - somethign will give very soon - good old Bucknor is good for atleast 2 dodgy decisions at the least !

 

[Rana]

pakistan zindabad slogans on again

 

[Rana]

another no ball!

 

[majalani]

at least inzy got a third man
any idea how many 4s via 3rd man

 

[Rana]

decent over so far

 

[Easa]

I'd bowl with Afridi/Kaneria in tandem for a while now.

 

[Easa]

Well fielded Popeye!

 

[zMario]

Whose popeye?

Kaneria?

 

[Easa]

146-3

I think this is an over-reaction, one wicket in the next hour and England will be on the ropes again. These 2 are playing very correctly and nicely though.

 

[Obeid]

Whose popeye?

Kaneria?

Razzaq I think...

 

[Easa]

Razzi is popeye, mario yaar,

 

[James]

Umar 'Girl' is starting the new over now, according to Henry Blofeld. Not to forget his description of 'Yousef Mohammed' fielding earlier today.

Silly old man.

 

[Easa]

Kaneria -

5-0-18-0

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Razzaq I think...

Yes it's A Razzaq!
he loves his spinach!

 

[Easa]

Waisay, Razzi struck that crucial blow of KP - Kp was looking in very good touch.

 

[RX]

Silly old man.

haha that Yousaf Mohammed was classic! funniest highlight of the day!

 

[Easa]

5 wides, BOUNCES over the keepr.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

these 2 are playing some solid test cricket!
PAK need to dismiss ENG for no more than 320!

 

[Sid100]

I get the feeling cooks gonna score big after farhat dropping him on 0. I hope Im wrong

 

[Easa]

Gul bowling far too short for my liking

 

[iZeeshan]

What a bouncer!

Tight bowling by Umar Gul, but we really need a wicket now.

 

[zMario]

Wheres Samilluah? I think he could replace Sami...

 

[majalani]

Still can't figure out why Gul is bowling short
should have learnt from razza

 

[James]

'really need a wicket now' eh. Its just neck and neck, no more, no less. If it was 160-1 then you would.

 

[iZeeshan]

I get the feeling cooks gonna score big after farhat dropping him on 0. I hope Im wrong

thts what always happns, you drop a catch and the guy gets a sudden burst of energy and scores big! wish i wuz like that.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

let's aim for 200/5!

 

[James]

Dunno why Afridi isn't bowling, I am sure if he is allowed to settle then he will do better than Sami or Gul. That in tandem with the fact that the pitch has lost some of its juice over lunch and wickets are going to be hard work from now on I think, just good news for England.

 

[Nauman]

Kaneria looked more threatning from the other end.

 

[Sid100]

'really need a wicket now' eh. Its just neck and neck, no more, no less. If it was 160-1 then you would.

BUT the momentum is with England, with a 69+ run 4th wicket partnership going on.

 

[zMario]

Now its getting dull...

 

[Sid100]

afridi isnt a bad option at the moment

 

[Easa]

Short, wide, cut away for 4.

First poor delivery from Dani.

 

[Easa]

Partneship worth 73 runs..

 

[Obeid]

id put afridi on for a few overs inplace of gul. hes sometimes has a knack of breakin parnerships...

 

[James]

BUT the momentum is with England, with a 69+ run 4th wicket partnership going on.

Always add 2 wickets to the score. Partnerships are usually broken from nowhere, then you have a new batsman in who is vulnerable. So often in test cricket when 1 goes down, 2 go down. If Eng get to 200 with these 2 guys still at the crease, they are on top then.

 

[zMario]

*Yawn*

Oh what oh what do we do now...

 

[James]

Partneship worth 73 runs..

Oh noes, the tour is over

 

[Sid100]

so hows Gul actually been bowling after Lunch??

 

[Easa]

Oh noes, the tour is over

Merely stating a fact, Whippy bro.

I'm the last one to get pessimistic.

 

[Easa]

so hows Gul actually been bowling after Lunch??

He's been tight but he needs to pitch the ball up - too short imo

 

[James]

Yayers, Boycs is on commentary again.

 

[Easa]

Gaffe of a delivery from Gul to end the over

 

[zMario]

Come on Pakistan, get 7 more wickets quickly, and bat, and show whose boss

 

[Easa]

Botham and Gower commentating on this broadcast.

 

[Sid100]

Boycotts commentary is always quite interesting and good to listen to

 

[Sid100]

so is the pitch doing something?

 

[whyhkk]

for kaneria there should be a silly point

 

[Easa]

Sami back into the attack

 

[James]

so is the pitch doing something?

Not as much as in the morning, Im watching the Sky coverage and listening to TMS commentary (the best of both worlds) and it looks like it will become a batting afternoon.

 

[James]

Sami back into the attack

 

[Sid100]

sami on, i hope he does well

 

[Sid100]

how fast is sami bowling??

 

[James]

Lol, Boycs is slating Sami as we speak.

4 runs off the over already...

 

[Nauman]

Make that another 4
