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

[Raz]

Pathan seems low in confidence. Maybe that assault of Shahid early on has dented it!

 

[alghazzali]

gud point Raz its definitely affected him

 

[Raz]

This is really funny. Every time Bhajji and Dravid try egging the crowd on to get behind the Indians Yoyo or Younis hit a boundary!

 

[ataullah]

Al ghazali,seems like u just took a theory test like me lol

 

[MIG]

100 run partnership up - tallian janab tallian !!

Aamir Sohail keeps on saying "These Indians" as if they are apples or something D !

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 170/2 keep going...

 

[Raz]

Younis getting a bit more aggressive now. Needs to calm down!

 

[MIG]

Ok next target 200!!! almost there boys , almost there...

 

[tahaqureshi]

both into 60's

 

[ataullah]

comeon khaney sab say bara khan dastarkhan hai

 

[Raz]

Balaji on now.

 

[badxhah]

Amir Sohail Commentary=
These Pakistanis
These Indians
These Anil Kumble
These Youhana
These Yonis Khan
Theeese Kollkata Staduim
These Googgooly

 

[tahaqureshi]

commentators saying ganguly is excellent fielder but they don't know why he is misfielding today D

 

[badxhah]

Commentators Shud have their eyes check 95% of the indians Dont know Why he is the team.

 

[nedian21]

MASHALLAH bot Ys playing exceptionally well. nazar na lagay. Pakistan are very prone to a mini collapse. long way to go. both shd get tons INSHALLAH and big ones

 

[MIG]

commentators saying ganguly is excellent fielder but they don't know why he is misfielding today D

The guy who dropped a simple one off Razzaq on the 5th day - could have made the difference !

 

[Raz]

That was close!

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on boys keep goin....

 

[Imran13]

We cant get complacent must make most of this and get a big total and really put india under pressure

 

[MIG]

200 almost round the corner....

 

[Schiller]

if any one just heard arun lal say "aghast" then he should go to a psychiatrist soon. i am for sure D

 

[octavian]

amir sohail isn't that bad !

 

[octavian]

Yoyo and YK's running lookin dodgy now.

 

[tahaqureshi]

yoyo on 69 with yk on 69

 

[Amjid Javed]

both YY and YK shud be looking at big tons here... fill ur boots time... not just 100 and out

150+....

 

[octavian]

Yoyo on 70 and YK on 68 actually

 

[tahaqureshi]

whenever anyone of our batsmen hits kumble hard, they hit him straight down the ground..razzaq's 6 off kumble was straight down the ground and most of yoyo's big 4's have been straight down the ground against jumble..

anyone notice this? does kumble have a dent in his bowling there?

 

[MIG]

Yoyo and YK's running lookin dodgy now.

probably the heat ....

 

[octavian]

they've run betw thw wickets really well so far tho

 

[tahaqureshi]

yea.thats true

 

[tahaqureshi]

kumble taking tips from kaneria..coming around the wicket.. D

 

[MIG]

Victory of some sort..... 200 coming up now....

How much longer to end of day ?

 

[badxhah]

After listening to the likes of Bill lawry and Co this commentary team is Really Crap

 

[Schiller]

1 hr left I think

 

[KB]

"whenever anyone of our batsmen hits kumble hard, they hit him straight down the ground"

He does not turn it much, so easier to just hit it straight. When a spinner turns the ball, a bit harder to hit down the ground because you end up hitting accross it and slicing it.

 

[Bailan]

I like Aamir's Commentry ... better then arun lal, and many others any day.

 

[tahaqureshi]

both batsmen into 70's

 

[Raz]

Drinks on now. Pakistan 198-2. 20 overs left in the day.

Come on boys get through without losing a wicket. Inshallah you will do it!

 

[MIG]

Things slowing down a bit - they should rotate the strike if nothing else....

 

[Schiller]

singles are the key as they have been since yk came on

 

[MIG]

With 20 overs Pak should aim to be another 80 runs so something like 270+ with no more loss of wickets would be excellent - also a few centuries wouldnt go amiss!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

200 up!!!!!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!!!

 

[nedian21]

200 up . mubarak hoon bhaiyoo. 17 overs left. 2Ys shd not make any mistake like Tendu did yesterday. INSHALLAH no wicket till end and we r in stong position

 

[nedian21]

ecellent drive by YK. looking great MASHALLAH.

 

[tahaqureshi]

very surprised how little chuckanator is being used

 

[Guest]

chukbanator coming on from the high court end...

manjrekar: "expect some justice"....

 

[nedian21]

he is back. we have to be very careful. late afternoon in Kolkotta has proved to be decisive in the past. and BHa--jji is the hero of Kolkotta

 

[tahaqureshi]

atys..wouldn't u say that is very cheap comedy by manjrekar? D

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 209/2 - YY and YK approaching tons now..

 

[tahaqureshi]

kumble has bowled 32% of the pakistan overs...in contrast, chuckanator has only bowled 14%..less than half..and i don't understand y they were hyping up his inclusion so much

 

[Rana Banana]

our run rate is 4.2 |-G |-G |-G |-G

 

[Schiller]

good pt there, rb, the rr has been brilliant due to some very agile running

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 218/2

yk onto 85 now

 

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!! indians playing very negatively..

 

[Schiller]

this is negative play but yoyo hit well :-D

 

[nedian21]

150 partnership with a Yo Yo boundry

 

[zulfiqar]

222 FO 2

 

[Waseem]

Hey guys how is everyone feeling today?? good going by the guys

 

[Schiller]

who would have thought we would be seeing this score as well
:-D

 

[Schiller]

kumble got frustrated trying to frustrate the batsmen and is now back to over the wkt :-D
and a 4 as I pen this

 

[tahaqureshi]

younis into the nervous 90's

 

[nedian21]

another 4 by YK. Kumble keee lei leee . keep going on MASHALLAH

 

[Waseem]

Well i said that Younis will prove everyone wrong, just give him a chance bcoz he had done nothing wrong before 1st TEST.

 

[Waseem]

Weel done Bucknor sahib, don't get under pressure......just take a deep breath

 

[nedian21]

bach gaya. YK shd concentrate. loose shot in 90s. why he want to play a sweep shot.

 

[Raz]

A good decision there by Steve Bucknor. Indians not happy.

 

[tahaqureshi]

yk on 95

 

[Waseem]

Younis moves to 95.......dekh k bachay dekh k plz.....

 

[Schiller]

an excellent decision

 

[tahaqureshi]

i just hope yk doesn't give away his wicket after his century (Inshallah) because our batsmen tend to get out between 100-125

 

[zulfiqar]

2 centuries from both of them by end of play will be very nice

 

[Waseem]

Well Well Well !!!!!!!! Fingers crossed !!!!

 

[Raz]

Thats a nicely trimmed beard of Shahid's. First time ive seen as nice as that for a long time!

 

[zulfiqar]

ramizraja on afridi:

"even the beard has not sobered him."

 

[tahaqureshi]

CENTURY!!!!

 

[Raz]

100 to Younis well done. A brilliant innings under huge pressure!

 

[Amjid Javed]

well done YK.

 

[w4s1m786]

well played should shut a ew people up today

 

[KB]

"even the beard has not sobered him."

hahahahahaha
