Pakistan vs Windies @ Multan [2nd Test -Day 1]

[161]

Match starts in 30 minutes.

Latest news stating that Pakistan will make no changes.

Conditions in Multan are overcast with the toss winning captain expected to field first.

Lets hope Inzi gets lucky as I want to see the Gul & Nazir swing n' seam show part 2.

 

[161]

With no changes being made the Pakistan pace attack does not have enough depth. In fast bowler friendly conditions we should play a minimum of 3 specialist fast bowlers.

Sarwan dropped as Pakistan bat

Sarwan dropped as Pakistan bat

thats a shocker !!

too bad we didn't get to bowl first.

 

[Raz]

Pakistan have won the toss and will bat first

 

[Raz]

Sarwan definately dropped, nothing to do with any injury.

 

[kablooee87]

Seems like Lara is really disappointed at losing the toss.

 

[Sheikh]

Unchanged team for us

 

[Raz]

I can't believe this about Sarwan, he got a jaffa in the 1st innings at Lahore and in the second he was unlucky with the lbw decision.

 

[Raz]

Teams coming out into the middle.

 

[161]

oh well .... so danish on day 5 will be key for us (along with not having a total batting collapse today)

 

[kablooee87]

Atmosphere looks hazy as ever.

 

[Raz]

Farhat and Hafeez will be opening

 

[Hash]

india info being pathetic as usual

 

[Big Mac]

Come wan Popeye shutting up a few critics in this game.

 

[Raz]

Jerome Taylor will be opening the bowling for Windies

 

[kablooee87]

This is a big game for Razzaq. It wouldn't be the first time he comes through when his critics start to get more and more vocal.

 

[Raz]

Movement straightaway for Taylor

 

[darkmoon459]

Hafeez to face Taylor ,first ball , outside off stump.

 

[Raz]

Hafeez off the mark, flicked to midwicket for a single

 

[161]

This is a big game for Razzaq. It wouldn't be the first time he comes through when his critics start to get more and more vocal.

Its also a big game for Kaneria. He needs to do put up or ...

 

[12thMan]

How can Dujon say pitch not showing anything after two balls

 

[kablooee87]

Ladies and gentlemen, it took no more than 1 delivery in a test match for Rameez to contradict himself.

Before: Conditions are perfect for batting.
After: Conditions are quite condusive to swing bowling.

Those were his exact words. Said no more than 30 seconds of each other.

 

[161]

Movement straightaway for Taylor

inzi uuuuu ...

 

[Raz]

Driven nicely by Farhat but finds the fielder,

 

[Raz]

Farhat off the mark, flicked to backward square for a single keeps strike

Pakistan 2-0 after 1

 

[12thMan]

no one out after 1 over. good start

 

[161]

edwards dropped also - smart move for the windies ... bad for us as he went for easy runs in lahore.

 

[12thMan]

Collymore opening the bowling
Pak 2-0

 

[Raz]

Rameez- "The groundstaff massaged the pitch to make it calm"

 

[kablooee87]

Does anyone else thinkg there's a definite plan to occasionally target Farhat's leg stump because he shuffles across sometimes?

 

[12thMan]

Multan ground scientest were doing a test and QA checking for any trace of grass

 

[Big Mac]

inzi uuuuu ...

It's a new ball. It's swinging. Not exactly a huge shock.

 

[Raz]

Pak 3-0 after 2

 

[Raz]

Flicked again by Farhat for a single

 

[Raz]

Flicked by Hafeez this time, short of a length from Taylor and worked to backward square for 2

 

[buzzard]

hey guys ,

does anyone know if i can watch this match online somewhere?

Thanks much

 

[Raz]

Edged for 4 from Hafeez, well bowled from Taylor, goes through a tightly packed slip cordon

 

[Imy]

This wicket is flat . sooo boring

 

[kablooee87]

wow, how did that get through?

 

[Raz]

10-0 after 4

 

[Hash]

seems like Corey McGrath bowling here.

2 overs, 2 maidens.

 

[darkmoon459]

cracking drive from farhat for 4.

 

[Bailan]

seems like Corey McGrath bowling here.

2 overs, 2 maidens.

1.5 Collymore to Imran Farhat, 1 leg bye, short ball on the legs, off the pads to fine leg


how does that work?

 

[Raz]

Short , a little bit of width and brutally cut for 4 by Farhat. That was beastly!! Farhat Power!!

 

[kablooee87]

Farhat cuts away for a boundary. Now, let's see if he can hold his nerve.

 

[darkmoon459]

Huhe appeal for caught behing ,harper said NO

 

[Raz]

Loud appeal, full in length but hit the pad outside off. Good decision

 

[Hash]

Huhe appeal for caught behing ,harper said NO

 

[darkmoon459]

[darkmoon459]

[Raz]

Hafeez looking comfortable out there

 

[Gunner786]

otherwise no double century for him in this match

i hope farhat seals his own fate once and for all in this match and gets out now

 

[Raz]

15-0 after 6

 

[Sheikh]

Well played Hafeez.

 

[161]

lets hope mohd yousof comes in quick time,

i hope farhat seals his own fate once and for all in this match and gets out now

i'd like to see moyo in at 3

 

[Hash]

3 overs 3 maidens for Corey.

This guy is clearly unplayable genius and magical artistry.

[darkmoon459]

11 hunderds in 4 test matches ,wow thats a batting paradise ,so pakistani batmen should score arround 700 ,centuries for top 7 .

 

[Hash]

16 balls since the last run

 

[Sheikh]

This is a VERY important toss that we've won. Lets hope we can form some big partnerships and score at a decent pace. That way we can bat ourselves to safety while being able to attack and win the match.

 

[Raz]

I think they've got rid of Intikhab Alam

 

[darkmoon459]

I would love to see a 100 from yousuf ,may be a double. He is been just a class.

 

[Hash]

I'd rather have an Inzi century to be honest.

 

[Amir]

whats with pakistan not being able to play collymore? other teams play him with ease

 

[161]

I would love to see a 100 from yousuf ,may be a double. He is been just a class.

i'm expecting lara's record to go down

 

[12thMan]

collymore has bowled two good balls and beaten the bat. he deserves a chokka now

 

[darkmoon459]

so far a good over by colleymore ,beaten hafeez a million times,still not lucky enough to get an edge.

 

[Hash]

4 overs and 4 maidens for Corey the genius master of bowling
0 (ZERO) runs from the last 22 balls.
A staggering run rate of 1.88 runs per over.

15 for 0.

I am off to bed. By the time I wake up, I am guessing we will be 24 for 1 (Farhat obviously.....edge to slip).

 

[12thMan]

is this Aamir Shoail commentating?

 

[UJ]

Big game for Farhat and Razzaq today to prove their worth otherwise they wont be there for the 3rd test you feel.

 

[darkmoon459]

man hafeez is just not comfortable at all,he is struggling a bit.

 

[12thMan]

PCB has to fire Waqar so he can come back to the booth

 

[161]

PCB has to fire Waqar so he can come back to the booth

right on man .... "i heard it in my ear"

 

[UJ]

first runs scored off collymore

 

[darkmoon459]

First test it was Intkiab alam ,and now its Haroon rasheed ,both are very effective in putting me to sleep.

 

[Waheed_one]

salaam all good of for cricket

 

[12thMan]

Looks like WI do not want to play a good game. fielders everywhere

 

[161]

taylor replaced after just 5 overs .... wow !
