Test 1 - Day 4 - Eng v Pak @ lords (commentary thread) [16/7/06]

[Amjid Javed]

Match situation - England 528/9dec v Pakistan 409/7

Pakistan trail by 119 runs (Moyo 185* Afridi 0*)

All four results still possible yet. The hard work for pakistan isnt over because a lead for england of around 70-100 could be vital. Pakistan need to bat for atleast 3/4 sesssion or a full session this morning. Afridi will hopefully get in and Moyo will get 200 inshallah.

A cracking days cricket in prospect.

Please put updates on when match starts.

The match can either be a win for Pakistan, a loss for Pakistan, a draw between Pak/Eng, or a TIE between Pak/Eng

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

A tie!

aint that the same as a draw

 

[Amjid Javed]

aint that the same as a draw

No slightly different. Tie is when scores in match are level. Drawn can occur if scores arent the same in overall aggregate.

[Amjid Javed]

Slog from afridi and lucky not to be clean bowled!

stupidity at its best!

 

[James]

Its either going to be glory or bust from Afridi tday, he clearly has no intention of blocking! Should be fun.

 

[James]

Ooof, not out tho

 

[Amjid Javed]

another slog across line and lucky not to be lbw!

 

[DM]

What a wild, wild being )

 

[Rob H]

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[KB]

Afridi needs to play with straight bat

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afridi batting like a tailender at mo!

 

[Easa]

Afridi has signalled his intent.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Afridi batting like a tailender at mo!

hes still there

hes messing around with there minds

 

[Amjid Javed]

Afridi needs to play with straight bat

More chance of sami getting a 5 for in 2nd inns!

 

[DM]

Afridi is absolutely electric.

What intention

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

More chance of sami getting a 5 for in 2nd inns!

u never know

coz he dosen knwo wat hes doin

 

[Amjid Javed]

Another poor shot from afridi and gets streaky to thru gully!

poor stuff thus far!

 

[Rob H]

Afridi gets a nice smash on the fingers

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

2 more to afridi

inside edge nearly cuaght

 

[Amjid Javed]

Harmi will bowl everything short and at body!

 

[DM]

And here we see the Afridi effect - conference after conference from the captain and bowler!

 

[Amjid Javed]

another swipe and miss! truely brainless stuff!

 

[DM]

Good bowling from Harmy

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

hes having swings

 

[Rob H]

Afridi plays a genuine shot there.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

single

his hand is hurt

 

[Nauman]

Afridi riding his luck, just a matter of time before he does the obvious (throw his wicket away).

 

[DM]

Brilliant stuff from Afridi, truly entertaining!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 419/7 - moyo 186* afridi 8*

109 behind.

 

[DM]

110.1 Hoggard to Shahid Afridi, no run, outside off and Afridi launches into it, bottom-edging it and the ball drops just short of Jones. That was heading somewhere into France if he connected

 

[Nauman]

another swipe and miss! truely brainless stuff!

Couldnt agree more, why in the world is he in the test team, we dont need brainless players like him around.

 

[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo.

Pak 420/7

 

[Easa]

He's face 15 balls so far, and people want him out of the team

 

[Nauman]

He's face 15 balls so far, and people want him out of the team

He could have been out atleast thrice in those 15 balls.

 

[Easa]

420-7

 

[DM]

another swipe and miss! truely brainless stuff!

Couldn't disagree more, Afridi gives life to tests, that's a fact. And if brainless gets him a test batting average of 40, then let's start giving lobectomies to Razzaq and some of our other players

 

[Easa]

He could have been out atleast thrice in those 15 balls.

But he ISN'T and thats what matters.

 

[ali_ed2006]

out ??

 

[Amjid Javed]

Couldnt agree more, why in the world is he in the test team, we dont need brainless players like him around.

Atleast get u eye in 1st and get the england lead down.

 

[Easa]

Couldn't disagree more, Afridi gives life to tests, that's a fact. And if brainless gets him a test batting average of 40, then let's start giving lobectomies to Razzaq and some of our other players

Exactly

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Afridi Out!!! Clean bowled! Middle stump outa the ground

u sure

 

[DM]

Couldn't disagree more, Afridi gives life to tests, that's a fact. And if brainless gets him a test batting average of 40, then let's start giving lobectomies to Razzaq and some of our other players

Sorry that was meant for Nauman, not you AJ

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

horrible 4

 

[Rob H]

Afridi really having a mad dash. He hasnt middled 1 shot yet.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Couldn't disagree more, Afridi gives life to tests, that's a fact. And if brainless gets him a test batting average of 40, then let's start giving lobectomies to Razzaq and some of our other players

when hes scored runs hes actually applied himself and played well.

Theres a difference between good calculated hitting and brainless slogging.

sadly ur judgement is clearly clouded!

 

[DM]

is he gone?!

 

[Easa]

Smashed away

 

[KB]

4 down to third man, but at least the intention was to hit straight.

 

[Somali Pirate]

afridi miss firing like a broken engine

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]
