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

[octavian]

photon eh, dm?? :-D

D

 

[Raz]

Yeah you wont ever see Shahid play an Abdul Razzaq innings at Mohali.

You've just go to accept him for what he is and use him effectively in that manner. I still think he shouldnt be opening. Lower down the order is where Shahid plays best!

 

[Sage]

I just had to log on to congratulate DM for making the worst simile ever. Just atrotious. D

 

[Raz]

Taufeeq living very very dangerously!

 

[Amjid Javed]

no1 is asking afridi to slow down... people are asking for afridi to use his brain and be selective.

huge difference!

agree Raz.

 

[Raz]

I mean look at Gilchrist. At test level he plays lower down the order and gets centuries. Thats what Shahid should be doing!

 

[octavian]

no1 is asking afridi to slow down... people are asking for afridi to use his brain and be selective.

huge difference!

People have been askin for that for a good 6 years now. It hasn't happened and lets not think that it will happen

 

[Raz]

If one of Taufeeq and Younis can get a century with the other getting a half century, it will put us in a strong position with Inzi, Yoyo, Asim, Abdul and Kamran to come.

 

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!

 

[DM]

I just had to log on to congratulate DM for making the worst simile ever. Just atrotious. D

[alghazzali]
