Pakistan Vs West Indies,Test 1, Day 4 Thread [29/5/05]

[Amir]

WHAT A IDIOT! The umpire wasnt givign it and he walked!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

now comes razzler lets see wat he can do

 

[Mercenary]

playing like this will unsettle the Windies for the next test match

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i just think the umps dont need to give that so obvious lol

 

[Guest]

why is it i tune in we lose a wicket

 

[Usman]

There are way to may overs to survive defending, not even a draw is in the picture anymore.

 

[Amir]

Lets hope Afridi can make a 100 for his confidence.

 

[pakistani pride]

No usman, asim ruined it we needed to bat this day out and see whar we scored at the end of the day but nouw i feel its over and out !

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wow abdul razzaq is lucky threre gr8 ball by collymore

 

[Usman]

Minimum overs
remaining today: 82.4

If only this was day 5!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if windies arent able to get us all out today i am sure we will win this (prays)

 

[Guest]

33.6 Collymore to Afridi, no run, outside off Afridi looks to clobber it over the covers, cant connect


easy tiger

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzler edges oit between keeper and slip lcuky man this isnt wat we need

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by afridi good shot

 

[Usman]

if windies arent able to get us all out today i am sure we will win this (prays)

For that we have to make sure we don't loose another wicket all day, otherwise we could crumble.

 

[Hash]

razzler edges oit between keeper and slip lcuky man this isnt wat we need

we don't need luck? What you going on about?

we need loads of luck!

 

[tahaqureshi]

EXACTLY!!!

 

[Guest]

we only need 399 now

oh the psychologoical impact of that

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i meant as in these edges arent wat we need hash

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i meant as in these edges arent wat we need hash 6 by afridi

 

[Hash]

174/5

Afridi not out 70
Razzaq not out 4

--------------

398 runs to win

Going at a rate of 4.97 per over which means it would take us 80 overs.

 

[Amir]

lets try to lose under 300, or this lost is worse than the one to aus in the first test.

 

[tahaqureshi]

lead less than 399, lets see how far these to can take it.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by a 4 lol

 

[Amir]

A SIX by Afu!

 

[Usman]

Pray to God that Afridi is there with Razaq at the end of the day.

 

[Shohair]

66666666 afridi

 

[Guest]

35.2 Collymore to Shahid Afridi, SIX, short ball and its played nicely
over the long-on for six


60 more them we are home

 

[tahaqureshi]

afridi set to get his century...I think he deserves it for all the passion he has shown

 

[PakPassionate]

Tony Cozier is saying If Afridi play for next 3 hours Pakistan have a chance of Victory.

 

[Amir]

Toyn Cosier: "IF he bats for these 3 hours, Pakistan could get this 573" that would be funny!

 

[Shohair]

4444444444

 

[Amir]

ALmost out next ball

 

[Hash]

Tony Cozier is trying to jinx him. He should keep his mouth shut.

 

[tahaqureshi]

soon the target will look like an ODI score..Afridi should think of it as if he is set to get his ODI double ton..thats the way to make a pathan like Afridi listen, give him incentives !!

 

[Guest]

inshallh we will if afridi there till the end of day

 

[Hash]

187/5

Afridi not out 83
Razzaq not out 4

I think if we finish at close having lost no more than ONE more wicket, we have a good chance of winning this match.

 

[tahaqureshi]

In reality the windian attack is toothless, Afridi needs to exploit that, mentally and physically

 

[Amir]

ALl our batsmen should have, they just threw it away.

 

[pakmandanish]

i believe that only afridi is our key to victory
so the moment he falls pakistans hopes for victory will be against minus 0(!)

 

[Hash]

192/5

Afridi not out 84
Razzaq not out 8

 

[Guest]

afridi

may allah guide him to victory ameen

 

[tahaqureshi]

If I were in their position, I would listen to really patriotic music like jyay ny aaroh or yeh maza zindagi ka by junoon to get the blood flowing and the hope/will rising.

 

[Hash]

Rzzaq needs to play a Mohali type innings. He better not try to copy Afridi.

 

[Amir]

Some poor captaincy from Chanderpaul, onyl reason he is goign to twin this is because of our poor batting perofmance in the first innings.

 

[tahaqureshi]

razzaq into double digits, he really should play well because the windians only have his favourites, medium pacers!!!!

there are NO spinners and NO quickies, Fido is off

 

[Guest]

or get hanif on the phone

liek hanif saya ah kardar goes to me u r pakistan only hope

Afridi you are pak only hope

 

[Guest]

37.6 Collymore to Shahid Afridi, no run, defends


shabash

the funny thing is only 12 overs of the dya have been bowled

 

[Hash]

196/5

Afridi not out 85
Razzaq not out 11

376 runs to win. Going at 5 an over would take us 75 overs.

 

[Amir]

razzaq into double digits, he really should play well because the windians only have his favourites, medium pacers!!!!

This pitch has alot of invariable bounce and Gayle is getting some real kick out of it, which is threatening, that is how Asim Kamal got out.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi shouldn't get complacent after his century (May Allah give it to him)...he needs to aim to break his highest score - 141

 

[PakPassionate]

I am really proud of Pakistan that they went into this match with a fighting spirit although they know the task of them is too big.

 

[Guest]

razzaq needs to stay there for 2 days

 

[Tariq Jamshed]

razzaq will get out to gayle. he is that poor

 

[Hash]

razzaq will get out to gayle. he is that poor

He didn't seem to have any problems against Kumble and Chuckbajan in Mohali though, did he?

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi is taking singles off Collymore at will..razzaq seems to be struggling..

if he cant get his rythm, he should simply block and play second fiddle to Afridi

 

[Guest]

if we get past 400 with these inshallah


that cause the windies to self destruct

 

[Raz]

376 to get now. The target is whittling down.

 

[Hash]

197/5

Afridi not out 86
Razzaq not out 11

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

target is coming down


what negative captaincy - u have 376 runs to play with and u have 5 guys on boundary



AFRIDI SMACKS GAYLE FOR 4 AS WELL - LOL

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 By Afridi 200 is up and he is in 90's now

 

[Guest]

honestly if pak waant to win

afridi needs to double his best score

and razzaq needs 100

and then akmal needs 85 +

 

[tahaqureshi]

target decreasing..

 

[Guest]

afridi is his 90's

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 by afridi !!! he is on 97 now!! gr8 shot

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

SLOG SWEEPS FOR 6 AFRIDI!!!!!!


97 off 73 so far

 

[tahaqureshi]

Gayle to Abdul Razzaq
tossed up, on middle stump, tried to play a big shot down the grond, inside edge to leg side

IDIOT!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes catching off the roof is the only way they are catching afridi

 

[Amir]

3 short of 100, lets see if he can get it

 

[Amjid Javed]

powell onto bowl now

 

[Guest]

come on guys

 

[tahaqureshi]

Razzaq shouldn't do anything dumb here

and Afridi SHOULDN'T defend after his century!!!!!!

 

[fair_play]

If he gets his hundred of 74 balls he will match Pakistan fastest ever test hundred!

 

[tahaqureshi]

but he is on 74 balls already!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man the ball is dieing on that rough

 

[Shohair]

its raazaq who im afraid off

 

[Guest]

41.3 Powell to Abdul Razzaq, no run, outside off stump, a play and miss

chill mr razzaq

 

[tahaqureshi]

Yea, razzaq is playing and missing too much for my liking, he isn't settled.

 

[Amir]

Afridi on strike to Powell

 

[Amjid Javed]
