[W63L35]

hmmn there was a rumor going aroud that Ntini sucks outside of South Africa ... i think i'll definitely buy that.

the same guy who ripped us apart in africa is not getting ripped in turn.

Yes...he is pretty ordinary outside SAF;

now if we only can take harris apart

Inzi and MoYo will have him for Iftari

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Man, I hate this Animal Nel!!!

 

[Oxy]

Well well well!

Butt turns 1 into a 2!!!!

Nel is disgusted

 

[Oxy]

Was that the funniest moving of the sightscreen you have ever seen!!!

 

[zaf1986]

13.1 Nel to Kamran Akmal, 1 run, gets forward outside off, inside edge into the soft flesh top of back leg, runs away to the on side, Akmal is rubbing that

)

 

[DotCom]

Inzi and MoYo will have him for Iftari

hahahah, good one

imagine Lala licking his lips right now ... oh wait, he has a 20/20 tourney right.. )

 

[Mercenary]

Cricinfo have had Salman Butt batting by himself for the last 3 balls.

 

[Plasma]

nel drops to his knees as his ball just misses the off stump )

 

[NeVerMind]

Man, I hate this Animal Nel!!!

He is a character allright. At least he is a nce guy off field as witnessed yesterday with Danish. Unlike that p**** Sreesanth.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Waqar's commentary has improved by leaps and bounds. There's still the odd funny comment but he's actually pretty good now.

 

[W63L35]

Is Kamran out?

 

[161]

paul harris warne is the best hope the saffies have at the moment.

 

[Easa]

Just got a chance to post at school.. great start from Pakistan! But how the hell did they manage 350?

Did they bat well or were we not ruthless enough with the ball?

 

[zaf1986]

BB - good point. I think he's taking English lessons.

The "butttaah"'s have decreased.

 

[Mercenary]

He is a character allright. At least he is a nce guy off field as witnessed yesterday with Danish. Unlike that p**** Sreesanth.

How do you know that Sreesanth isnt nice off the field?

 

[zaf1986]

Kamran is in. cricinfo have techie issues as usual.

 

[161]

He is a character allright. At least he is a nce guy off field as witnessed yesterday with Danish. Unlike that p**** Sreesanth.

yeah i really don't mind nel at all .. he makes me laugh more then anything else .. and yes sreesanth is a pr***.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

BB - good point. I think he's taking English lessons.

The "butttaah"'s have decreased.

Lol, yeah.

 

[Oxy]

77-0

Nel is swearing is head off!!!

Doesnt he know its Ramadhan!

 

[NeVerMind]

How do you know that Sreesanth isnt nice off the field?

Just seems that way with his post-match comments. Why, do you have a presonal experience with Sreesanth that proves otherwise that you care to share with us all?

 

[Oxy]

Nel with a peach of a ball! Butt lucky not to edge that!

 

[DotCom]

77-0

Nel is swearing is head off!!!

Doesnt he know its Ramadhan!

people that know it is still do it .. dont expect him to care..

our bowlers were doing the same..

 

[Oxy]

Just seems that way with his post-match comments. Why, do you have a presonal experience with Sreesanth that proves otherwise that you care to share with us all?

Sreesanth buys all his wristbands and jewellery off Merc...

 

[DotCom]

Sreesanth buys all his wristbands and jewellery off Merc...

come again, is that an inside secret?

 

[DotCom]

where are the Akmal haters?

 

[syd_pak]

WOW...best start ever!!!! never seen Pak 77-0.....yes 0.....lets all enjoy this

 

[KA$H]

come on guys i'm relying on you for quicker-than-cricinfo-updates!

 

[Oxy]

84-0

Lovely pull for 4 by Butt

14 th boundary of the inngs!

 

[DotCom]

cant they put remote control wheels on those sighscreens?

 

[DotCom]

"DISPATCHED WITH DISDAIN" Bishop on Butt four to Harris

 

[Oxy]

The way Steyn & Ntini were kicked out of the attack to save them further embarassment! Classic!

 

[DotCom]

come on guys i'm relying on you for quicker-than-cricinfo-updates!

I am trying K-money !

 

[Oxy]

cant they put remote control wheels on those sighscreens?

And deprive 10 Pak labourers of work? HAve some compassion!

 

[Oxy]

85-0

 

[DotCom]

The way Steyn & Ntini were kicked out of the attack to save them further embarassment! Classic!

well Smith tried the "the ball is messed up" trick already

what other tricks do you think he has?

Kallis? hmmm

 

[DotCom]

And deprive 10 Pak labourers of work? HAve some compassion!

oh thats right yaar.. my BAD

 

[161]

Sreesanth buys all his wristbands and jewellery off Merc...

ahaaa is that what the "PakPassion Merchandising and Marketing Team" is all about ?

 

[DotCom]

I cant wait to see YK/Inzy/Moyo bat on this surface... will be CLASSIC

too bad I will be in FLIGHT to PK on day 4/5 .. GOSH DARNIT

 

[DotCom]

Butt hanging his bat out there..

 

[W63L35]

Hope light allows Pak to reduce lead to 200 by the end of the day today. By tea tomorrow, lead shoud be 0.....and then by lunch, on 4th day, Pak should declare with a lead of 250+.....we are in business. My only concern is Yousaf and Inzi out of match practice!!!

 

[DotCom]

I dont see that Wristy stroke that Butt was famous for ... but it was also his demise with edging it all the time..

is he learning?

 

[DotCom]

Akmal beaten by Harris, turned a bit

 

[Mercenary]

ahaaa is that what the "PakPassion Merchandising and Marketing Team" is all about ?

Yeah it's the new Chav range

 

[Easa]

Amoeba seems to be mysteriously missing whenever Akmal is performing

 

[DotCom]

risky turn/swivel to leg side, no run by Akmal

 

[DotCom]

Beaten again by little turn ..

 

[W63L35]

Akmal beaten by Harris, turned a bit

Gooooooood signs for Danish and Rahman!

 

[DotCom]

maiden, 85 for no loss

 

[DotCom]

Gooooooood signs for Danish and Rahman!

If Rahmen gets a chance to bowl ..

 

[Oxy]

85-0

Butt on 40*

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully we can be approx 150-170 for loss of 0 or 1 wicket at most at close of play.

Pakistan should not go off for bad light at any point!

 

[Mercenary]

Pakistan should not go off for bad light at any point!

Dont know about that, if a wicket falls then it might not be a bad idea

 

[Islamabadi]

damn...phata cricket now

 

[KA$H]

agree with AJ we are trying to win the test match here!

good job DotCOM

 

[DotCom]

well we are trying t o win the test match!

good job DotCOM

a victory in this test would work wonders for the ODI series momentum

 

[NeVerMind]

2 maidens in a row? What do they think there playing, a test match??!! Wait...erm...they are...

 

[Oxy]

FIFTY for Kami.

Take a bow son.

Well done

90-0

 

[DotCom]

Akmal sweep for 2, kinda risky...

 

[DotCom]

wow I am late

 

[Mike Bassett]

Butt gone

 

[Oxy]

BUTT - OUT

Caught at fine leg

 

[jaspa888]

choker

 

[DotCom]

trying to copy Akmal ... freagin loser

 

[KA$H]

looks like the drying up of runs told on ole Butt - was it unlucky?

 

[DotCom]

another WASTED start by Butt ...

 

[NeVerMind]

Man, I was hopping to see a maiden hundred stand between the openers. Well at least Butt has given us the platform. Pray we don't lose a quick wicket here and take a leaf out of the SA book i.e. make them work for the wicket.

 

[pak4life]

here we go time to get the pray mats out

 

[Easa]

Butt gone, YK comes in!

90/1.. great opening partnership!

 

[DotCom]

looks like the drying up of runs told on ole Butt - was it unlucky?

he was the one playing maidens... and instead of just working the ball around, goes for a sweep like Akmal, top edge to short fine leg, simplest of catches..

 

[jaspa888]

Failing to make on a good start is worse than failing early on in my view.

 

[Amjid Javed]

I hope we dont collapse like we did in 1st inns of 1st test after a good start!

 

[Mike Bassett]

YK of the mark with a couple of runs

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK off mark with 3, another ton from him would be great!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Butt was playing well. He should have held one end up. Lack of runs in the last few overs seem to have gotten to him.

 

[jaspa888]

OUT. Stupid shot by YK.

 

[shan2026]

younis gone, this is like first test all over again
