Pakistan vs Leics, 3 Day Match, Update Thread

[zMario]

Who declares when they have less runs then the opposition?

 

[HAFRIDI]

Nope, Pakistan have declared on 345/5 it seems

wow 345??

 

[DesiMD]

y??...y did they declare so early..they haven't even taken the lead off yet.i mean lead's not significant..but they should have let akmal hit as long as he could..b4 he got out..

 

[MIG]

This is standard practice to ensure that we get bowling practice and there is a chance of forcing a result

 

[HAFRIDI]

Who declares when they have less runs then the opposition?

its not about winning

 

[Hash]

Who declares when they have less runs then the opposition?

Any side which is trying to get as much match practice as possible. Simple really.

 

[Uzzy]

Need to get some more practice in for the bowlers.

 

[DesiMD]

Who declares when they have less runs then the opposition?

last time i remember seeing that was against australia....when australia scored 599-4 declared..pak declared on 580-8 declared...mushtaq was not out on 48 that time....
that match obviously finished in a draw...that was in 1997
i think simliar case is here

 

[wazim87]

Well last 15 overs of a day. If they get a quick bowl and wrap em up tomorrow
Afridi firing (yes we always think he will) can win us the match!

Younis khan thinkss outta the box!

 

[infamous9383]

BBC Only works for those in UK. Get that in your head already

but the other counties games were working genius

 

[zMario]

By crowd reaction, Pakistans coming out

 

[DesiMD]

obviously thats the plan for him in here...
cuz same tactics were used by Snape of Leicestershire..yesterday
when he declared 7-8 overs remaining....

 

[moomoo]

15 overs left today and 90 odd tomorrow so clearly both captains have agreed on a 50 over a side game to finish the match to ensure the Pakistanis get their practice in.

Good we'll win. If thats the national side England has, then I wonder how the domestic side will be!

[zMario]

Ugh, 6 runs off first over

 

[zMario]

Oh, 4 legbyes

 

[DesiMD]

but the other counties games were working genius

thats what i was thinking also....

 

[Hash]

Ugh, 6 runs off first over

4 of them leg byes

 

[zMario]

4 of them leg byes

How was I to know, these commies dont tell me anything!

 

[zMario]

FOUR byes, what is KAMRAN DOING?

 

[Hash]

FOUR byes, what is KAMRAN DOING?

he was picking his nose

 

[zMario]

OUT, Gone for SIX!!!!

Woohooo, good job bowler!

 

[zMario]

Leics, 18/1, c Malik b Gul

 

[Osman]

top edged a short one to 1st slip.

 

[zMario]

Leic : 18/1 (6 overs)

 

[zMario]

OUT, BOWLED!!

Yeahhh Good stuff!

 

[Osman]

another 1 gone.

 

[Shayan]

SAMI!!!!! ackerman bowled.

 

[Sid100]

samis got a wicket, bowled

 

[moiez_no1]

sami bowled him wooooooooooooooowwww

 

[Uzzy]

I told you this will be Sami's series!

 

[Osman]

Commentator says that it was a beauty from Sami and that he is looking dangerous with the test series approaching.

 

[Sid100]

"sami looking quite dangerous for the engand series"

is this the rebirth of sami??

 

[zMario]

Sami bowled a straight ball to bowl Ackerman...


Leics - 38/2

 

[Uzzy]

I hope it proves some of the Sami doubters wrong. AJ, WS and etc.

 

[Sid100]

12/0 (3.4 ov)

crapinfo

soo slow in its updates

 

[zMario]

I still doubt Sami. Its only ONE wicket.

 

[Uzzy]

Plus 3 from the 1st innings.

 

[Hash]

according to this commentator the series coming up is a THREE test series

He also said that Kamran is a very UGLY keeper who will cost us in the tests

 

[Sid100]

well hes as bad as the scottish commentaors, little knowledge of the game, very biased.

 

[zMario]

Kanerias coming into the attack!

 

[Nauman]

I hope it proves some of the Sami doubters wrong. AJ, WS and etc.

Yes this should teach these Sami doubters, how dare they doubt the greatest talent Pakistan has ever seen, these 4 wickets against one of the worst county sides in the circuit has really proved that Sami is the man we can depend on.

 

[Hash]

Now this commentator is whinging about the Pakistanis wanting match practice

 

[zMario]

Nauman what more do you want from him yaar? Ever since he was dropped a few months back he has been performing whether its been domestically or against Asia XI or county sides, he has been picking up wickets and thats the important thing. I guess its better to wait until the test series actually starts but yaar give him a chance or atleast withhold your judgement until the tests starts. Having a speedster helps and when Shoiab is not available Sami should be the next choice.

 

[DesiMD]

quite a good day for pakistanis...
they shoudl win this game..
they should get leicestershire in 2nd sesions tomrow..an hour b4 tea
and afridi should be sent to open with butt

Forget winning the game. That is COMPLETELY meaningless and unimportant. I'd rather all our batsman got time in the middle and all our bowlers got some action going and the game finishes a draw.

 

[Has]

The rebirth of Sami...........

Bowling O M R W
Mohammad Sami 5 0 28 1 (2nb)
Umar Gul 4 1 9 1
Danish Kaneria 1 1 0 0

The guy is going at 6 runs per over and that just releases any pressure there is.

 

[pak4life]

just saw imran farhat interviewed on sky sports surronded by pak supporters . He said their getiing used to the condition

 

[PlanetPakistan]

The guy is going at 6 runs per over and that just releases any pressure there is.

he also got the wicket of their best batsman!

 

[Amjid Javed]

well done farhat, butt, faisal iqbal and kamran akmal for getting runs today.

hopefully butt/farhat will play in 1st test and faisal will bat 6.

so wat happened to the beast?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well done farhat, butt, faisal iqbal and kamran akmal for getting runs today.

hopefully butt/farhat will play in 1st test and faisal will bat 6.

so wat happened to the beast?

i guess if he performed every time he wouldnt be a beast then, he'd be more like a dravid!

 

[UJ]

Excellent to see Farhat and Butt in particular, spend some time in the middle and score runs.

Hopefully it continues throughout the series!

 

[Amir]

well done farhat, butt, faisal iqbal and kamran akmal for getting runs today.

hopefully butt/farhat will play in 1st test and faisal will bat 6.

so wat happened to the beast?

Weren't you one of the ones harping on about farhat not beign able to bat in English conditions?

 

[Saqib]

Pakistan start the day with a wicket for Kaneria in his first over.

Leicestershire 315/9d & 46/3 (11.3 ov)

 

[Saqib]

The opening bowling combination is

Imran Farhat
Danish Kaneria

 

[mulan]

Excellent to see Farhat and Butt in particular, spend some time in the middle and score runs.

Seems like their new bats are doing the trick
