[Bilsher007]

INSHALLAH butt will score well in second innings

 

[Random Aussie]

This game is Pakistan's to lose now.

 

[Amoeba]

Yeah i reckon Butt will get out for 0 again !

A bit optimistic aren't we? Why so many?
As they say he'll be lucky to get 0. Anyway I hope he proves all his (millions of) doubters wrong.............if it helps us to win.

 

[RexRex]

this is gonna be a good chase at about 225 .would love to see murali and mendis try to defend that total.

Murali? Where?

 

[slix10]

Your calls are always off.

 

[hmujtaba]

Yes it will be interesting how Mr Murali will defend this total.

All he can do to defend this total is pray, cause he is not playing this match.

I was thinking of a bigger sarcasm, but couldn't think of any other polite ones.

 

[slix10]

The pitch hasn't done anything, minor deterioration over the days.

I would reckon even 250 is doable.

 

[Random Aussie]

Your calls are always off.

Sorry? Pakistan are not in the box seat? Sri Lanka have the advantage do they?

 

[Oxy]

OUT!

bUTT WITH A CATCH!

191-8

 

[Oxy]

SL lead by 141 (2 wkts left)

 

[slix10]

Sorry? Pakistan are not in the box seat? Sri Lanka have the advantage do they?

Sri Lanka has already won. I can see it in Sanga's eyes.

 

[Oxy]

RAuf took the wkt

Matthews was a threat

[Sheikh]

Big wicket there. Rameez sounds gutted.

 

[RexRex]

[Oxy]

That looked OUT LBW to me - Umpire Harper says NOT OUT

 

[afridi.rocks]

Good shout there by Ajmal!

 

[Oxy]

That looked OUT LBW to me - Umpire Harper says NOT OUT

Damn - that was hitting Middle!! HArper denies Pak!

 

[afridi.rocks]

Rameez thinks it was OUT.

 

[RexRex]

now would be a good time for the clouds to take a pee

 

[slix10]

It is going to be Manzoor's day/night/wheneverwebat.

 

[hmujtaba]

[Afridi_Fan]

Edged past 2nd slip for four.

 

[Oxy]

Boundaries flowing

Slashed it over the in-field for another boundary

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Lead by 160.

 

[Sheikh]

Speaking of peeing, how are your pants?

 

[Oxy]

HArper finally gives an LBW

 

[Oxy]

Rameez disappointed that hes given it OUT!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ajmal Strikes

Finally Harper raises his finger.

 

[Oxy]

211-9 (lead is 161)

 

[Sheikh]

And now Harper gives one that isn't out. What a terrible umpire.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Speaking of peeing, how are your pants?

[GLORY OF '92]

Dodgy umpiring continues......
Only umpiring can lose pak this match now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Is Ramiz Raja Pakistani?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

161 the lead.

 

[Oxy]

Another boundary - anything over 180 makes me nervous

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

Another boundary - anything over 180 makes me nervous

[pak4life]

Rauf has definate increased his speed in the second innings his running in pretty quick now

 

[RexRex]

I think I was sitting next to you at The Oval v India last month....

[Oxy]

BOLWED HIM! Ajmal strikes

[Oxy]

?

Obnoxious Indian fan...getting on my nerves at The Oval.

But I HAD THE LAST LAUGH

 

[MIG]

168 to win.

Salman Butt - Khuda kay wastay yaar....

 

[Sheikh]

Ajmal with his third, fully justified his selection.

168 to win. We should knock this off.

 

[hmujtaba]

Now the Commentators are going after the Umpires.

Would love to see them being fined.

They are almost insulting Harper,

the SL commentator suggests that the Umpiring has cost Sri Lanka more than 50 Runs

What about Pakistan

 

[Afridi_Fan]

3 wickets to Ajmal, Bye Bye Kaneria?

 

[who_dares]

34 overs min left today for Pak

 

[pak4life]

All over! good job by the bowlers over to the batsmen now to finish it off

 

[RexRex]

Obnoxious Indian fan...getting on my nerves at The Oval.

But I HAD THE LAST LAUGH

i wasnt there for the WT20

 

[Afridi_Fan]

168 to win.

Salman Butt - Khuda kay wastay yaar....

) )

 

[Uzi]

Now time for the openers to give us a good start (wishful thinking?)

 

[Oxy]

i wasnt there for the WT20

I know.... )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Only if our openers can give us a 50 run opening stand, the pressure will be off from the middle order.

 

[Amoeba]

Small chases all depend on what kind of start you get.
Ok strap your seatbelts on cos we're gonna be 0-2

 

[RexRex]

I know.... )

 

[pak4life]

Even though its the 4th innings its still a third day pitch the only way we can lose from here is through fear.

 

[slix10]

It is Manzoor's day.

You heard it here.

Salman Butt 15-20.

 

[Oxy]

Only if our openers can give us a 50 run opening stand, the pressure will be off from the middle order.

I'd take a 30 run start TBH

 

[Lodhiz]

Even though its the 4th innings its still a third day pitch the only way we can lose from here is through fear.

I think we all know by now that Mr. Younus Khan is fearless. Can I just ask a question, how many times has Younus Khan bowled in previous test matches? Because he is a pretty good bowler!
