lets bowl out WINDIES for 140 or less .. by the TEA SESSION the MOST ...

then score a quick 100 for 0 loss .... in the last session ..

inshallah

calm down lara and chander are at the wkt.

 

[OZGOD]

If they can take Lara's wicket, Pak will be in the driver's seat for pretty much this innings.

 

[12thMan]

i am out got watch the match

where are you going this late at night

 

[PlanetPakistan]

S Nazir is the MAN!!!

 

[Sheikh]

Excellent first hour!!

Need 1 more in this next hour--preferably Lara!!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Sarwan will be in trouble against Shahid NAzir InshaAllah...

mannn you better than nostradamus )

) )

 

[UJ]

What type of speeds has Gul been bowling at?

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

i only regret i cannot c it live .

follow it on cric info...or should i say slow-info

 

[Ilyas]

Who ever will try to play outregeously offensive (like Afridi) on this pitch will get out...One needs to hit but with technique and clean hittting is what is the call of the day the way Gyle was hititng...Sarwan was in outregeous mood and that is why I knew Shahid Nazir will trouble him because Shahid is bowling using brain slightly more than Umar Gul at this time...

 

[the true passionist]

What type of speeds has Gul been bowling at?

mid to low 80s

 

[12thMan]

What type of speeds has Gul been bowling at?

they are treating it as a first class match. no speed gun, no hawkeye and Intikhab alam commentating

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

imagine if the pitch was grassy

 

[GQ]

Nazir Bhai Cha Gaye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[the true passionist]

4 down

 

[darkmoon459]

Excellent first hour ,both gul and nazir had donepakistan proud ,inshallah We will over all the set backs.

 

[12thMan]

I saw the bowling spped of 84

Chanderpaul out nazir strikes

 

[darkmoon459]

OMG ,its my name sake again ,he had done what the wprld said couldn't be done with out shaoib and asif.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

holy cow a new hero is born

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Oh kia baat ha S Nazir kee!!!!! Next time i go to Faisalabad i'll get his autograph!

 

[GQ]

Excellent start by Pakistani bowlers on a pitch that doesn't favor the bowlers much. Some good bowling by Gul and Nazir.

 

[Ilyas]

Bravo wicket is important...Pakistan need to get them out by 125 otherwise Pakistanis can also land up in trouble...

 

[DesiMD]

pak off to a great start...they should continue like this...and dont make the mistakes during their batting....

 

[GQ]

Wow! This is rare. Pakistan fielding 4 slips and a gully?! And, that also for Shahid Nazir!

 

[OZGOD]

Full on collapse happening. Geez Pakistan have some bloody good fast bowling reserves eh. And I thought this pitch was meant to be another featherbed.

 

[Sheikh]

Nazir!!!!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

and lara was saying that they had the upper hand?

well it looks like a memorable series

 

[darkmoon459]

4 slips , a gully ,short leg and a deep point ,now thats some attacking field.Good job by Inzi.

 

[Ilyas]

Ah: Bravos is spoiling the excellent stats of Shahid Nazir...His scalp is most crucial: Get him Man InshaAllah...

 

[GQ]

... Not to mention the short leg has been there from the start. Impressive.

 

[the true passionist]

Wow! This is rare. Pakistan fielding 4 slips and a gully?! And, that also for Shahid Nazir!

let me add "that too by Inzi"

 

[UJ]

Its a good start but Bravo has been in amazing form lately and we all know what Lara is capable of. We need to break this partnership soon.

 

[Jonty]

looks like inzi did some homework while he was out of action

 

[darkmoon459]

Razzak in attack now ,let see .

 

[moiez_no1]

razzaq comes into the attack

 

[GQ]

Lara is the key wicket here. Nothing more worthwhile to follow after him.

 

[Ilyas]

Shahid Nazir needs to utilize some variety like a slower one against Bravo...

 

[DesiMD]

Ah: Bravos is spoiling the excellent stats of Shahid Nazir...His scalp is most crucial: Get him Man InshaAllah...

first its lara's turn inshAllah...cuz he has already been given one chance...and he is the dangerous man on longterm..

 

[UJ]

Shahid Nazir needs to utilize some variety like a slower one against Bravo...

Give Bravo some of his own medicine eh?

 

[GQ]

moiez_no1: Thanks for the live update!

 

[Big Mac]

Mon the Popeye

 

[moiez_no1]

drinks

 

[GQ]

Haha, the hi-tech Pepsi Can is on the field.

 

[Ilyas]

Can we expect Kaneria to give a tip or two to the bowlers from Mid-Off or Mid-On...

We need someone at Mid-Off and Mid-On, who can advise the bowlers...

Inzi and Woolmer should consider this...

 

[DesiMD]

thanx moiez for posting the pix....
keep posting whenever possible..
especially the scorecard...cuz it make me happy lol...4 down thats why
keep posting..jazak-Allah..and thanx

 

[moiez_no1]

moiez_no1: Thanks for the live update!

yw man i'm going to sleep at lunch hate watching bowling i only like batting

 

[moiez_no1]

chacha is back

 

[darkmoon459]

Oh cool chacha cricket is back on the field .

 

[Bailan]

Cha cha on the field

 

[Daoud]

Good to see Chacha around and well

 

[Bailan]

ashoka de-sliva = douche bag

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Ok so....will Inzi bring Gul back to replace Nazir? and have A Razzaq on the other end? because i reckon the ball is still seaming

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Comments about the pitch please...

 

[Waheed_one]

I got pee

 

[Waheed_one]

that should mosit the pitch

 

[darkmoon459]

its amezing that with shoaib,asif ,rana ,and sami been out ,our 3rd string attack is coming through . May Allah give them strength to finish off the job,also show the Cricketing world that we are still fighters and mostly we are proud Pakistani's.

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[Bailan]

Comments about the pitch please...

the ball is seeming Anwar Ali U19 WC style ...

but the bounce is consistant, so i guess its 50-50 right now

 

[12thMan]

Wi 70-4

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[Ilyas]

Pitch is still not bad for batting...Atmosphere is helping the bowlers...Plus Shahid Nazir has natural abilities to swing the ball...Abdur Razzaq and Umar Gul are also good in this...Even if pitch is good for batting, but if bowlers are good to swing the ball in the air, they can trouble batsmen anywhere in the world...The only way out of this trouble for Windies seems to be to hittheir way out of trouble, but not to it Afridi way...That is why Bravo looks aggressive and playing strokes according to the book...This partnership of Lara and Bravo is crucial...If Windies score somewhere near 200, Pakistan can land up in trouble, although we do have Inzi in the team and most likely Abdul Razzaq batting at Number 8...

 

[moiez_no1]

doctor who ?

 

[moiez_no1]

i think the need to tak off nazir nw in bring kenaria

 

[Ilyas]

It should be Kaneria time now...

 

[Ilyas]

That mask is for pollution avoidance...

 

[Ilyas]

Quite a few people watching the game on the ground...

 

[Sheikh]

Typical Lahore pitch. Bit of assistance in the first hour or so of play as is the norm with test match cricket. Pitch will continue to flatten out before offering spin on days 4 and 5.

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[moiez_no1]

gay sanjay

 

[Sheikh]

Good move this. Need to make the most of the pitch while its still offering something. Kaneria will get a few overs before lunch.

 

[Bailan]

expect three figure scores from both lara and Bravo at this point

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[darkmoon459]

its time for Kaneria ,gul is strugling and popeye is not in rythm.

 

[moiez_no1]

omg 2hr 30mins session still 50 mins left

 

[moiez_no1]

 

[Ilyas]

Although Umar Gul has been expensive, Inzi still called him back...

With Bravo and Lara in aggresive mood, this was not a good choice...

Taking risk with Kaneria is a better idea than taking it with Umar Gul, who has already been very expensive...

 

[moiez_no1]

i'm going to bed at 6:30 cnt b asked to watch the bowling

 

[moiez_no1]

kaneria warming up
