Second Test Day 2 Score Updates and Discussion [17/03/05]

[octavian]

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.

This is the reason why Sami is in the team.

 

[sajjad]

afridi opening

 

[DM]

The thing is we dont have any good replacement in our squad for Sami. While Sami hasn't taken wickets he has at least kept some pressure on the batsmen. Bowlers like Khalil and Rao will be a fountain

Unless we make the bold move to fly out Yasir Ali and Irshad.

 

[gfx]

I really , really hope Afridi can hold his nerve and not go berserk

 

[catwoman]

Sami should have been dropped long ago |-F

 

[MecnunK]

gfx did'nt you ever play cricket? remember you never got to bowl and you batted last when it was so dark that you needed nightvision goggles to see the ball...??

well imagine how Khalil feels

just kidding bro..

 

[ali kc]

afridi opening!

allah khair karay

 

[nedian21]

irfan bowls first ball. and straight away getting swing. our pathetic BS strike bowler doesnt know how to swing. he shd go n play club cricket.

 

[catwoman]

Damn it, Afridi's opening ^

 

[DM]

Afridi opening - my heart is puming at 100mph

 

[octavian]

Toffee and Afridi opening. Toffee better score today.

 

[gfx]

hahaah MecunK,, ez bro........
I bat well actually and can bowl a bit, I style myself as a poor mans all rounder

 

[sajjad]

pathan getting swing

 

[gfx]

Damn, is Pathan swinging it already.. What the hell...
I thought there was nothing in teh dam pitch

 

[MecnunK]

ohh okay, that must have been just me then!! *******s!!!

 

[catwoman]

maiden first over

 

[sajjad]

ooooh
beauty to end the over

all of a sudden its a tuf wkt to bat on

 

[nedian21]

I have had enough of Sami now. Throw him out

we shd sign a petition against him and tell PCB

 

[sajjad]

time for THE AFRIDI to get into the action

 

[gfx]

Man I just dont get how these Indian medium pacers can swing it so much and Sami and Rana were'nt getting anything from the pitch

 

[Schiller]

afridi leaves the ball

 

[Schiller]

afridi strikes :-D

 

[catwoman]

4 by the AFRIDI!!

 

[sajjad]

cause we make non swingers like Akhtar heroes and dont look at swing as a great feature

Afridi hits is uppishly thru cover for four

 

[161]

how long wil afridi last?

i'd rather see razzaq open and block off the dangerous new ball for the first 10 overs and then slog away.

 

[Schiller]

poor shot by afridi there waisay but got a 4 :-D

 

[DM]

ASHRIDI!!!

 

[badxhah]

Can I write HERE V GO AGAIN PLZ ...oh i already wrote that

 

[MecnunK]

afridi leaves the ball

That's a first, maybe he is sleepy!! blood hasnt started circulating yet!!

 

[nedian21]

ALLAH karam karein . Afridi bhai nai 4 maar diya. he make me feel so scary

 

[sajjad]

afridi leaves another one.....2 left in 1 over....interesting

 

[Schiller]

ha ha
and the next ball he hit it to get a 4, could well have gone in someones hands too
ha

 

[MecnunK]

yeah teh blood supply has been restored to his head..here we go...

 

[Schiller]

and another 4 :-D

 

[catwoman]

Another shot by the Afridi!

 

[sajjad]

deficit less than 400 now

 

[nedian21]

I thought there was nothing in teh dam pitch

lolz there is nothing in our attack bowlers

 

[DM]

AFRIDI :-D

He sure gets everyone talking

 

[Naveed]

Kind of wish that he'd try to hit the ball hard on the ground!

 

[Schiller]

"He sure gets everyone talking"

that seems to be the problem indeed, sanjay and ravi wont shut up now

 

[catwoman]

Appeal turned down :-D

 

[DM]

lol

 

[sajjad]

"He sure gets everyone talking"

that seems to be the problem indeed, sanjay and ravi wont shut up now

HAHAHAHHAHA D

 

[Naveed]

Taufeeq looks shaky

 

[octavian]

toffe looks like pathan bowling him at perth's pitch at 200 mph

 

[Schiller]

:-D and now the last 4 mins have been about afridi's handshake

 

[nedian21]

how long wil afridi last?

i hope taufiq lasts long. WHY they dropped salman. Taufiq is short on confidence. and i cant see him scoring big. may be he proves me wrong . INSHALLAH

 

[MecnunK]

This fat little critical-catch-dropper better score some runs today!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

8 runs from 6 balls for afridi

 

[Schiller]

umar looking shaky for sure

 

[sajjad]

cmon taufeeq time to shine

 

[Schiller]

dravid drops umar's catch :-D

 

[catwoman]

Taufeeq droppedd!! :-D :-D

 

[tahaqureshi]

lucky

 

[161]

well afridi has already scored more then what i expected from butt to have scored, plus he has 3 wickets!!

 

[sajjad]

dravid drops a sitter

 

[Schiller]

umar stands too far outside leg it seems

 

[Naveed]

Funny how the "bits and pieces" player looks more at ease against the new ball than the "specialist opener"

 

[DM]

:-D and now the last 4 mins have been about afridi's handshake

lol please not again!

I must have that about 5 times on video, from seemingly every commentator. Boycott loves it the most it seems

 

[nedian21]

taufiq dropped. best opener lolz. i know he has talent. BUT he is low on confidence. and we cant afford him in this high profile series. Salman shouldnt have been dropped period.

 

[octavian]

cmon taufeeq time to shine

too much to ask im afraid

 

[DM]

Come on Toffy!

 

[Schiller]

oh no ravi started it this time and then sanjay jumped the handwagon and it was a sodomy of the ears i tell ya

 

[161]

taufeeq doesnt look like hes gonna last very long- both in this innings and in the pakistani team !!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

interesting point naveed....i am shocked

 

[catwoman]

cmon taufeeq time to shine

Shine? Shine what? Shoes?

 

[sajjad]

Harbajhan looked comfy....
whats the matter with Taufeeq

 

[MIG]

Umar has the shakes , Umar has the shakes....

Not looking very convincing out there...

 

[Schiller]

taufeeq is really out of his element today

 

[sajjad]

1 more over till lunch

 

[DM]

oh no ravi started it this time and then sanjay jumped the handwagon and it was a sodomy of the ears i tell ya

D

 

[gfx]

Umar has the shakes , Umar has the shakes....

Not looking very convincing out there...

MIG Umar is a brutal player, he never looks convincing. Forget about him being nervours, he makes me even more nervous.

 

[octavian]

Butt shud never have been dropped

 

[Schiller]

now that was a shot b yafridi

4 :-D

 

[sajjad]

4 by afridi

 

[tahaqureshi]

GO AFRIDI!!!!!!!

 

[nedian21]

it seems taufiq wiill be out on every ball he faces. i hope they stick there till lunch. thats why i was supporting afridi. confident. doenst bother. plays his natural game. Ravi shastri is supporting Salman and quite rightly so. another boundry by afridi

 

[gfx]

Well done Afridi

 

[Naveed]

Too much coffee for Toffee

 

[Schiller]

oh what a shot by afridi

beautiful waisay
