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

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea go afridi bhai he is playing very well now and slapping whoever calls hima bits and pieces player in the face

 

[Shohair]

Pakistan need 320 more runs to win while having 5 wickets in hand

 

[tahaqureshi]

I think he is a genuine all rounder, gr8 with the ball, and obviously amazing with the bat!

 

[Saj]

some very sensible batting taking place. Chanders spreads the field so both batsmen looking for the quick singles.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Chanders is a poor captain...good on the batsmen that they are exploiting it.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

shahid afridi gone for 122

what a poor shot but it is the way he plays

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

afridi is gone he already cursed himself as soon as he hit it no!!!! well played however.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

afridi gone, smashes ball in the air of powell

and catch is taken... sad end to superb knock!

 

[Pathan007]

chanderpaul cpatiancy is pathetic to say the least they still have more than 300runs to defent and only 5wkts to take. yet he has spreads all the fielders

 

[Officer Barbrady]

We didn't need to a thread for the dismissal!

 

[Raz]

Afridi gone but what an innings!

 

[Amir]

Afridi gone, and all hope is lost

 

[Saj]

oh dear oh dear. Loose shot from Afridi, straight up in the air and Chanderpaul takes it at mid off. Afridi very cross with himself.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

all hope is gone now- damage limitation

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

it isnt over till its over guys just remember mohali and thse two

 

[Raz]

Naheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!

 

[Amir]

I hope we atleast get too 300-350, save some face and not lose so bad.

 

[Nauman]

Besides it aint over untill the fat lady sings and they just showed Inzi sitting in the pavilion and let me tell you he aint singing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal in now and off the mark with 1

 

[Amir]

Besides it aint over untill the fat lady sings and they just showed Inzi sitting in the pavilion and let me tell you he aint singing.

Someone should be studying!

 

[Usman]

Just 15 minutes before Lunch, oh the singles were coming so why? but anyway had that gone for 6 we would be praising him, a good innings. Come on Kamran!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Seems like Afridi actually thought he could win it for Pakistan

 

[Saj]

well Akmal and Razzaq have done it before, but this situation is beyond them.

 

[MIG]

Allah karay kay saree moti auraton kee awaz beth jai !!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

the wrecking crew has departed - the salvage crew is in now.

 

[Nauman]

LMAO @ MIGGY well lets just keep our fingers crossed.

 

[pakistani pride]

Superb knock he really gave us hope and i was thinking what are we upto

 

[Usman]

There is not a man in the world with as much talent as Afridi.

 

[bilal]

funs over boys lets go home

 

[Usman]

well Akmal and Razzaq have done it before, but this situation is beyond them.

I don't agree, if they have done it before, whos stopping them do it again, besides Kamran has done well against the Windies before.

 

[Cartman]

salamulaikam guys.. just woke up to a pleasant surprise.. unfortunately did not last long.. odds are heavily stacked against us to save or win.. this is a burning ship..


im gonna go have bagel and coffee now.. laterz

 

[DM]

Beautiful innings by Shahid Afridi. Simply put, I watch sport for performances like that.

I'm out of energy

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by razzler good shot

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 more nice !! go razzler

 

[tahaqureshi]

I agree with Usman, they CAN make it, just will require extreme patience, concentration and belief.

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more for afridi.... down to fine leg

 

[bilal]

53.3 Powell to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR, full toss on leg stump and its turned
to deep fine leg


COME ON RAZZAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

u mean abdul razzaq amjid bhai Yand ANOTHER 4!!! YA

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more ... 3rd in a row down 2 fine leg

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

3 4's in 3 balls all to fine leg - they have no fine leg!

 

[Saj]

no fine leg, 3 consecutive boundaries for Abdul.

Thats 161 runs in the morning session so far.

 

[tahaqureshi]

4 more for afridi.... down to fine leg

) ) )

Can't believe his out eh?

 

[Amjid Javed]

u mean abdul razzaq amjid bhai Yand ANOTHER 4!!! YA

) sorry i did mean razzaq.... had afridi on the brain!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by a ball that is completely dead im guessing one more over till lunch yea

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

LUNCH now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

actually it is lunch now so pakistan surviving for the moment with a gr8 run rate and it must be said that this session belonged to Pakistan

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

299 more runs to win

 

[tahaqureshi]

lead down to 299!!!!!!!!!

 

[bilal]

299 more needed with 4 wickets, one of these two has to take us into day 5 with about 150 runs to get on the final day, ofcourse these will need to get 100s now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inshallah pakistan karleyga!!

 

[pakmandanish]

yes of course
thats the most simple thing on earth

 

[tahaqureshi]

If we can get 161 in the pre-lunch session, we can certainly get 299 in two full session..if not then max 50 left for day 5..but that all depends on whether we keep our wickets!

 

[Usman]

No, thats Lunch. Win or loose (or draw!) Pakistan have put up a fight and credit to Afridi. The problem lies in the weak top order, espiecially Yasir who not only through his own wicket away in a crucial time but through the wicket of his captain away too. Anways there is a breath of fresh air in this match and it will be intresting to see where Pakistan lies at the end of the day. Anway another 30mins probabably left of Lucnch. See you then.

the top problem will be finish in next test when inzy,yoyo and malik will come

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

we still have an outside shot

 

[tahaqureshi]

I think malik will get a chance after Yasir's abysmal performances

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i THINK WE CAN WIN - need another 300

 

[tahaqureshi]

the highest ever score by any team in the fourth innings of a test match is 418!

Inshallah we can atleast cross that

 

[tahaqureshi]

Kamran was looking to be positive during the 7 balls he faced..

 

[Amir]

Your optimisim is just shocking, seriously, I may have a stroke thinking how you do it!

 

[ZM]

lol
same ere
guys jus giv up
there is no chance

 

[tahaqureshi]

Your optimisim is just shocking, seriously, I may have a stroke thinking how you do it!

) ) ) )

Comes naturally man!

 

[Hydro]

we havent lost yet

Jaaka and kami can put on around 200 -210 leaves about 90-100 runs so inshallah we will win

inshallah we will cross the highest 4ourth innings score

 

[Amir]

Yes 90-100 runs between Big Bird and Baboon Face

And edged past the slip(akmal)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think we can pass 418

 

[Fessal]

Did anyone in the UK see my email question on Sky?
I missed it all but wanted to put that courtney walsh ad sky under the spotlight fo refering to a match windies couldnt finish. They failed to mention 2000 time and time again during there coverage.

 

[Hydro]

kami gets 3 runs

 

[catwoman]

I missed that Afridi innings!

 

[Nauman]

Remember my words it aint over untill the fat lady sings and as far as my sources tell me Inzi isnt too keen on singing right now.

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Yer I DID!!!

Mohammed Fessal, I believe...

 

[Hydro]

if pak last the whole they will win at this rate they r goin at

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wats with this stumping call dammit no cmon dontr be gone

 

[Amir]

I hope we can atleast pass 40 and save soem face. Lets try to lose less than 200 runs to send a message that we can bat and make a much more positive approach next match.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon this has to be given benefit of the doubt that is bs o my god....he isnt out man!!!

 

[Amir]

Razzawq on the line and should be out...well goodnight folks.

 

[Amjid Javed]

razzaq gone stumped.... looked hard to call benefit shud go to batsmen!

 

[Amir]

It loosk clean as possible and he is on the line and shoul dbe given. And he is given out.

But you know these Windies umpires were gonna give it out, they cant even umpire with a TV infront of him, so any close call always goes against the batsmen.

 

[tahaqureshi]

is it out??

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

damn 3rd umps has won it for the windies.....

 

[Nauman]

Well I guess its time for Rana and Akmal to do it, go Rana.
