[Afridi_Fan]

We are in for a big day today,the outcome will be decided in the 1st session.If Pakistan can bowl them out for less than 300 and then 5 sessions of play,we are in with a chance but if that didnt happen we will have to play for a draw.

In between my cable connection is out of order since past night,Pray for me that it get started.

 

[161]

the longer they bat .. the better chance we have for a draw ....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I thought we will win this and you are telling me for a draw if they played out the 1st session then we shud look for a draw otherwise....................

[Imy]

[Bobaran]

101/3

We need a breakthrough badly!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok,now try to play for a draw

 

[Pathan007]

this game is as good as lost. nothing happening for Pak bowlers and when harris comes in he picks 5fers

 

[salman24]

sopcast stream came back

 

[Pathan007]

and danish should be dropped for 2nd test. the guy is making excuses that he's tried and can't bowl. who the hell him told him to play county for full season. really pathetic

 

[the true passionist]

Well this game is over now. SAF will end up with 400 lead and we can't even draw from there.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

If somehow we saved this maatch,Saffies wont feel good in the 2nd one with MoYo and Inzy back in the side

 

[Pathan007]

If somehow we saved this maatch,Saffies wont feel good in the 2nd one with MoYo and Inzy back in the side

both out of form and will score ducks. saffies will be happy to c them back.

 

[the true passionist]

Hafiz constantly bitching about the umpiring in Punjabi.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and danish should be dropped for 2nd test. the guy is making excuses that he's tried and can't bowl. who the hell him told him to play county for full season. really pathetic

Are you sure,its him being tired that he is not bowling?

 

[Genghis]

It seems like we are almost playing too defensively with Hafeez and Rehman bowling. Where's Kaneria. We need a wicket fast otherwise this game will drift away very quickly.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

both out of form and will score ducks. saffies will be happy to c them back.

BBK

 

[Pathan007]

Are you sure,its him being tired that he is not bowling?

yup Malik said b4 day's play. that dani told him he was over bowled/ bowled al ot in county.

 

[Pathan007]

Kaneria bowled 561overs for essex in 13matches this season.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

yup Malik said b4 interview. that dani told him he was over bowled/ bowled al ot in county.

***, send him back to county and never allow him back in the side

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Hafiz constantly bitching about the umpiring in Punjabi.

LoLz what exactly he was saying?

 

[Imy]

Yes ban your fast bowler and best spinners and rely on a left arm spinner who cant spin the ball and a medim pacer who will be able to take wickets only on juicky wickets as he is miltary medium

 

[Bobaran]

We tok like 3 wickets for 90 runs in the first innings right?

We can do it again hopefully!

109/3

 

[Pathan007]

Yes ban your fast bowler and best spinners and rely on a left arm spinner who cant spin the ball and a medim pacer who will be able to take wickets only on juicky wickets as he is miltary medium

kaneria best spinner? i still rate afridi highly than him.

 

[Imy]

not with hafeez and the left armer

 

[Imy]

who has 200 wickets Afridi or Danish

 

[Imy]

actally no current pak palyer except danish had more than 150

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yes ban your fast bowler and best spinners and rely on a left arm spinner who cant spin the ball and a medim pacer who will be able to take wickets only on juicky wickets as he is miltary medium

Ok so we let him go and bowl for the fucking county for the sake of money and when his country needs him.he will come up and say Oh Gosh I am tired I cant bowl.What a looser

 

[Pathan007]

who has 200 wickets Afridi or Danish

haha. who has bowled more?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

kaneria best spinner? i still rate afridi highly than him.

Me too

 

[Imy]

Well better than Moyo for money or Afridi who cant play beacuse of rozas but can play 20 20

 

[Pathan007]

kaneria is freakin overrated. only good in county where he bowls to trundlers.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Here comes the Looser

 

[Pathan007]

here comes Dani boy

 

[the true passionist]

LoLz what exactly he was saying?

something like:

"ida wada balay tay wajeya see....pehlan lb vi nahin dita"

(it was a clear edge...he didn't give an lbw earlier either)

 

[Pathan007]

pcb should ban him from playing county or restrict him to half season.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

yup Malik said b4 day's play. that dani told him he was over bowled/ bowled al ot in county.

Well then 2 things need to be done

a) Drop him for the next test match so he can "recover" for the series against IND.
b) Don't allow him to play CC.

 

[the true passionist]

now the SAFrican commentator wants a wicket to see run scoring from ABD and Boucher.

 

[jackal786]

kaneria is freakin overrated. only good in county where he bowls to trundlers.

Kaneria requires usually 35 to 40 overs to get 2 or 3 wickets. So be patient.

 

[Pathan007]

easy pickings for saffies batsmen.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

something like:

"ida wada balay tay wajeya see....pehlan lb vi nahin dita"

(it was a clear edge...he didn't give an lbw earlier either)

Sadi wari tey itni lami tang wi agey kado tey ungal khari ker deney...Ina gooryan nu tey.....................

That what Akmal shud say

 

[Imy]

Pakistan seem to be in a haze this whole match seems like they are happy with getting to the 20 20 finals, not a good sighn . Hell they did not even win

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok,debatable decisions

Rehman to Kallis for LBW by Taufel not given

DK to Kallis for Catch by Faisal Iqbal not give (dont know he didnt hit that or it didnt carry)

Harris to Akmal,long stride, Given


Are we playing a home series?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Guess you have a reason,The great legend Leg Spinner Danish Kaneria was not there

 

[Imy]

No they lost as they cant take the pressure just like we will collpase for under 200 i hope they dont but we all know there is a good chance of that just like in the 20/20 final

 

[jackal786]

Prince is really gritty. He is struggling to read the spin off the pitch. Yet somehow he manages to get away.

 

[Imy]

PS he is our 3 best batsmen right now

 

[hellopak]

PS he is our 3 best batsmen right now

4th best after Malik, Hafeez and Akmal

 

[MIG]

Pls post score updates as well - Thanks

Well thats a sign of fans giving up

 

[PlanetPakistan]

130/3!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

i like prince,indeed he iss a gritty batsman

 

[inzamam_1]

prince gone !

 

[jackal786]

Bowled now!

 

[Imy]

kaneria strikes but i ts too late now

 

[iafzal]

Good dedication from Prince, if our players bat with the same dedication we may have some glitter of hope.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gone

 

[Bobaran]

kaneria strikes but i ts too late now

Maybe not. Anything around 200 runs will leave us with a decent total. We just need one or two more wickets...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

kaneria strikes but i ts too late now

Because he was earlier tired due to playing in county

 

[Imy]

I hope you are right

 

[iafzal]

YESSSSS. This is for sure a quality wkt

 

[inzamam_1]

de villiers gone!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one

 

[iafzal]

Not a good sign bowl did turn a lot, Harris maybe taking note

 

[Bobaran]

Rehman's 7th wicket in his first game!

 

[inzamam_1]

Pitches leg stump and hits off! Brilliant

 

[iafzal]

If we can just get Kallis now this may still can be an interesting game.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

292 is the lead

 

[iafzal]

Pitches leg stump and hits off! Brilliant

almost turned equal to 5 stumps
