[Schiller]

my sentiments exactly mec

 

[tahaqureshi]

is kaneria bowling well???? because he needs to get out either kumble or bhajji

 

[sajjad]

r u sure...why not both...lol

 

[161]

danish is getting creamed !!!!

 

[sajjad]

some good hitting by bhajji

pakistan needs to wrap it up soon, these runs may hurt us in the end

 

[tahaqureshi]

take him out and put in razzaq..he was getting swing

 

[sajjad]

just 1 good ball or a little edge and its all over

its gotta happen soon

 

[Guest]

no way should india be allowed to reach 400 after doing so well early on. if they do its the captains fualt for mediocre captaincy.

so Inzi, Gangulya nd Ponting should all be fired for letting tailenders score? this happens all the time yaar. open your eyes and smell reality. its called CRICKET!

 

[sajjad]

well said

 

[kasoo10]

I think spinners usually play spinners well. At least they put up a resistance and score well. A pace attack is more suitable at this time. Razzaq seems to be a good option.

 

[badxhah]

Sami cant even beat the tailenders

 

[sajjad]

everyone thinks they know what the best decision is....hehehhe

 

[161]

omg sami cant get these guys out-

sami needs to be taken off the team and go work with waqar or someone and learn how to bowl again...

 

[MecnunK]

Jesus wept!! A fw yorkers wouldnt go amiss here sami..

 

[Schiller]

thanks atys and sajjad. your words of wisdom have been noted. your intelligence ofcourse has been re evaluated

 

[Naveed]

Take the damn new ball! This is a 30 run partneship now and we need to shake things up!

 

[tahaqureshi]

so 3 more runs to get 400 for the bhindians

 

[sajjad]

harbajhan hits a beauty off the backfoot
what a shot

i think its dravid under that helmet

 

[Schiller]

the yorkers are absent, alas! :-D

 

[MIG]

Naveed: I have just called Inzi and he said, he would consider your request..

BTW, Good Morning everybody....

 

[MecnunK]

sami needs to be shipped to heer a mandi in Lahore so he can do what he does best..mujrah!! .

disclaimer: I have never been to lahore, only heard about it..

 

[161]

107.3 Abdul Razzaq to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, Shot! good length delivery,
pitched outside the off stump and angling in, Harbhajan quickly
goes back and drives it away to the cover boundary, excellent
timing and placement
finally Inzi opts for the new ball


that one finally woke inzi up

 

[kasoo10]

Any idea if Razzaq is any better than Khalil with new ball?

 

[sajjad]

bhajji middling everything

 

[Guest]

thanks atys and sajjad. your words of wisdom have been noted. your intelligence ofcourse has been re evaluated

yaar its almost like youve never seen a ball fly off an edge and go through the slips before! or even tailenders frustrate good teams. it happens ALL the time.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Salam to you to MIG

 

[MIG]

disclaimer: I have never been to lahore, only heard about it..

Aye Hai - You could have fooled me.

That may be the reason, Inzi was reluctant to take the new ball...

 

[sajjad]

Any idea if Razzaq is any better than Khalil with new ball?

yeah, im writing a book abt it. will let u know as soon as it is published

 

[161]

wow sami getting smacked by kumble for 4.!.!.!.!.!

AFRIDI + DANISH = Wasim + Waqar in terms of cleaning the tail

u dont know what ur talking about

I do, they're our current Wasim+Waqar for the tail

Their awkward style of bowling confuses the tail a lot more than our current 'seamers'. eg: see Australia

BIG DIFFERENCE between

AFRIDI + DANISH = Wasim + Waqar in terms of cleaning the tail
and
they're our "current" Wasim+Waqar for the tail

the 2 spinners arent equal to the 2 quickies
but our standard has gone so down in bowling we have to rely on them when we shudnt

In terms of our CURRENT attack, our 2 spinners are doing the job better than our seamers. That's what i meant by the simile

 

[MecnunK]

shucks..400 up..cant help but feel we squandered a potential advantage here..

 

[kasoo10]

Please send me a signed copy or invite me to book signing ceremony.

i agree with that one

 

[161]

well do u guys think BW will stick with him for the third test?

i think it will be better just to play all 3 spinners.

 

[DM]

Good morning Mr MIG

 

[aabbasi]

Can some one give any ideas of how to get this Sami guy out of the team ????

 

[sajjad]

drop khalil also...get a 4th spinner in...then we will win

 

[MIG]

Look at it another way, if their tailenders can score off a new ball - why cant our batsman do the same ? The spin today isnt that much so Pak has a chance to go at a fairly brisk rate and get to say 280+ by tonight....

 

[Guest]

you could go offer your services. you'll probably do better on a batting paradise!

 

[161]

shave his head while he sleeps, it will take at least 6 months for his hair to grow back.

just wait for the changeover, the ball will start swinging and the pitch will be giving awkward bounce

 

[tahaqureshi]

WHY ARENT THEY GETTING OUT???????

[sajjad]

these guys playing like Sehwag and Gambhir

 

[MecnunK]

sami's bowling bouncers..retard..try yorkers..

 

[badxhah]

I hate to say this But Allan border might be eating his words here on sayin India would love to have bowler like sami .... Sami would not make it into the indian team

 

[161]

ok i know what we need to do - sami needs to throw a beamer at both kumble and turbinators head . hopefully he will give them both a concussion and knock them out. also since he has bowled 2 beamers he wont be allowed to bowl anymore.


perfect solution-
if only inzi was as sharp as me !

 

[sajjad]

Bhajji goes

 

[Toony™®]

sami's bowling bouncers..retard..try yorkers..

man probably doesnt know how |-S

oh well all out for 407 - about 30 runs too much.

we do'nt need that, our batters are perfectly capable of playing stupid shots on a flat pitch to get out ..

 

[Guest]

phew. lets put the daggers away now please...

 

[CrickFan]

I agree ..I don't see India losing from this position ..Pakistan can at best play for a draw ..and yes let us wait till the Indians start bowling before we start talking about the pitch ..and how easy it is to bat on this strip

 

[Toony™®]

dangerous 20 odd mins to come

 

[Schiller]

finally !!

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!!! go die u b i t c h y smelly kumble's and bhajji's....

NOW teh reall game starts..afridi going to smack around indian slow left arm pathan D

don't mind my words..im really excited

 

[Guest]

you dont see India losing from here? you should really stick to 20-20 cricket. looks like that is more at your level of concentration!

 

[nedian21]

rameez said sami know that he hasnt a good series so far but he has to be confident D |-U

when the hell that Retard so called potential talent has done uptill now.

inzi and bob ?-a sami

thanks GOD atleast Razzaq took the last wicket. i told u even Abdul is better than our so called pacer. Riaz Afridi or Rao was much better than Sami

 

[sajjad]

Bhajji and Kumble playing an EXCELLENT knock ensuring India's supremacy over the match. lets see if our batsmen can bring us back into it.

 

[Schiller]

pak lost initiative here a bit for sure

 

[DM]

Afridi time, im not keen on seeing him open the batting (i'd have much preferred to have him batting lower down) but let's see.

 

[ali kc]

khalil only bowled 11 overs in the entire innings...

i hope i dont see him bowl for the rest of the tour!

 

[sajjad]

NZ scored 433 and had Aus at like 200 or so for 5 wkts.

yet they lost by like 8-9 wkts

 

[161]

remember this if we loose a close one

1. 44 run last wicket partnership
2. 36 extras

both of these mostly due to sami !!!

 

[gfx]

I dont think India has supremacy over the match. I think that its evenly placed right now. Unfortunately knowing our batsmen they could easily hand the whole thing away.

 

[DM]

Still at least Afridi had our 2nd best bowling figures so far and snared India's 2 most dangerous batsmen.

 

[MecnunK]

easy now taha!! calm down bro..

Toonboy is right 30 runs too many given + psycological advantage of 400+. Batting last will be hell.. We need 500+ here to stand a chance of winning. A 100 lead would be ideal..put the Indians under pressure..

 

[gfx]

What was the point of playing Khalil,,, Guy literally did nothing, and its not like they gave him a chance either. Bowled 11 overs like this other guy was saying.

 

[catwoman]

We shouldn't have let them score 400!

I have had enough of Sami now. Throw him out |-n

 

[161]

yep we need to score big in our first innings as this pitch wont last for our second inning.

 

[DM]

Khalil, Rao, Asif - all have the same problem - not enough pace and no redeeming features (eg batting, stone-dead accuracy etc)

 

[Schiller]

they should have had them by 380 for sure.
pitch is turning a bit and suddenly the ball might swing too

sami is one of our biggest disappointments. it cant hurt to drop him for the next match

 

[sajjad]

we need a first inings lead
hardly possible after DRAVID, SEHWAG and TENDULKARS score.

the indian batting proving its worth once again

 

[catwoman]

I really hope Shahid Afridi isn't opening the innings...

 

[gfx]

ITs can't hurt to drop him sure. But there really is'nt anybody to take his place so I dont know why people bother debating the issue.

 

[ali kc]

razzaq looked pumped up after the last wicket!!

I hope he bats well or dont have to bat at all

Pakistan 600-4 Declared !!

 

[tahaqureshi]

agree with u gfx, same thing happened in khalil's debut match

 

[Schiller]

dm hate to say it but samis time should be up for a while too now
