Test 2 Day 5 Discussions and Score Updates [20/03/05]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hey Ravi has to keep consoling all indians by saying how india got aussie once at 5th day lol

 

[mumtaz]

hey the half hour can only be added in case there are exactly 9 wickets down, it cannot be done in case 8 wickets are down and it cannot be done even if only 1 run remains to win.

though i am not sure if it can be done on the last day on other days it can definitely be done.

more than 60 overs can be bowled within the stipulated time, so if 60 overs have been bowled and there is still some time left in the day, match wud continue till the end of time

in the last hour of the last day, it is mandatory to bowl at least 15 overs, so if more than 75 overs have been bowled in the day when the last hour starts, the match would continue until the 15 overs have been completed in the last hour, so its possible that both 90 overs have been bowled and time is up but match still continues because of this rule.

hope that clears up the situation somewhat.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

they have done it in the past if there is a chance of result and light is still good plus do u really think India would bowl faster than they have to ?

 

[tahaqureshi]

actually...thats made it a bit more comlicated but no harm done..we'll just wait for the plot to unravel

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oh no's arun and ramiz starting the commentary these guys will go for ducks i tell ya

 

[MIG]

Small targets first - next target 200/4 and so on.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

heh for a lil while there i thought MiG just dissapeared but yea they gotta go for lil targets hopefully India have calmed their appealingness down a lil

 

[Hydro]

they r back

 

[MIG]

sounds like a scene from the poltergiest !!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and the 1st post lunch over is a maiden good gives time for the khaana to digest in the paks

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bala salah is bak

 

[Hydro]

it usually 30 over after tea isnt it so if pak can letter 100 in pre tea session

itll be interesting

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

OOHH that was a good ball there by Bala salah

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 maidens in a row now

 

[MIG]

Cmon Pak - 200/4 - concentrate, Inshallah !! cmon!!

 

[Hydro]

2 maidens post lunch

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

dumarse Arun cant even differentiate over the wicket to around the wicket

 

[tahaqureshi]

if coach told boys to aim for draw im gonna get angry


we can win

 

[Hydro]

yes let sett little targets

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

....hard chance dropped at slip by dravid of kamal's batting thats not good kamal cmon concentrate..

 

[MecnunK]

Phew!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3 maidens now...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bala really varying his deliveries now a slower one there

 

[pakmandanish]

just play positive and with a bit brain, afridi showed how(!)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and then a bouncer to end the 4th maiden in a row

 

[tahaqureshi]

so that means that the indians are giving their best



we can win

 

[Hydro]

make that 4 maidens

rotate the strike for cryioing out lous

 

[tahaqureshi]

i think asim is gonna crack the shell and hit like 3 boundaries in one over

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and 2 runs there end the 4 maidens

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ooo and almost was a catch there to ganduly close shave

 

[the true passionist]

played against spin

 

[MecnunK]

both batters playing with nerves!! need to calm down and focus..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think bw has something to do with this prolly told them to go for a draw i think thats wrong at least this pair should play as they did pre lunch

 

[tahaqureshi]

they need to get runs now..


we can win

 

[Hydro]

rotate the strike

it right hand left hand

 

[pakmandanish]

now its only : SURVIVE

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

go for survival after this pair does wat it can they are slowing down to survival too early imo

 

[tahaqureshi]

to slow run getting....they have the ability to score the runs..they are not tail enders



we can win

 

[sam]

those idiots are appealing for everything... bucknor and hair should slap them ten times for each appeal. D D D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

7 overs 5 maidens 4 runs o wickets

thats wat has happened after lunch thus far

 

[MIG]

Another factor is the heat - in about say an hour - the Indian attack should start tiring - we must hold on ....

 

[MecnunK]

Indians creating good pressure here ..in last 7 overs only two runs..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol man these bhindians talk so friggin loud lol

 

[badxhah]

So far so good.....They know the importance of this session ,,,,

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

uh i dont think he touched that one man HES OUT DAMMIT!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

way to go youhana!!!!

 

[sam]

the heat will take its toll... they should hold on and tire those fools. D

they are appealing like nobody's business and they'll lose their voices soon... that'll help coz they'll manage a small sqeuaky appeal for a real close one.

and the umps will turn it down. :-D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the bhindians said something to youhana at the beginning of that over and it should be inspected

 

[MIG]

Yoyo goes and well the writing is on the wall ..... need to get to 250 now with no more wickets lost....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well the snickometer shows it edged so i guess i cant argue..

 

[the true passionist]

i'm afraid...can't see a draw here...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea even a draw is starting too look bad now & OMG THAT BALL DIED

 

[pakmandanish]

now this partnership has to settle for even after tea..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shot by razzaq!!! what a six

 

[tahaqureshi]

SIX!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol taha i see you took the we can win off ur posts now smart idea

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and the constipated appeals again show their nasty rear end STOP THEM DAMMIT

 

[tahaqureshi]

u noticed D

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nice delicate cut for 4 there by kamal

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i always seem to laff now wheneva i see that black eye for laxman

 

[tahaqureshi]

laxman has a black eye? D sami musta hit him hard

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and razzaq is bowled....that is it! BALL DIED COMPLETELY

 

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Bakwaas Pitch Bilcool Hi India Nai Jaan Kar Aisi Pitch Banai jismai woh pachwai din may Pakistan ko our kar sakay

 

[tahaqureshi]

ball died completely?

 

[the true passionist]

that's it....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea it kept super low..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Kumble is getting happy for no reason it is the pitch that has gotten him all the wickets he has done nothing special

 

[tahaqureshi]

yoyoyo look who in da haoos..k akmal..

 

[MIG]

Kumble to Razzaq, out Bowled!!, wrong un, skidded through, Razzaq could not bring his bat down on time and that one shatters his stumps, Razzaq was clueless with that one....

RIP Pak....

 

[161]

well looks like that fighting spirit we showed in the last test was just a one time thing !!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well akmal gets 3 but i can say this is all but a matter of time here before Pakistan are cleaned up *sobs*

 

[tahaqureshi]

i don't see why kamal should even try to play safe......since its game over, im hoping he just tries to hit out to give us some entertainment

 

[Sage]

Game isn't over as long as these two are at the crease. If another wicket falls before tea, we've lost.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

its pretty sad that our highest score of this innings is 59 thus far and that too by afridid

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

game isnt over yet not to me until sami is out he can bat pretty well as well

 

[tahaqureshi]

agree sage..but the grim reality is..there are too many overs and not enough quality batsmen left

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well looks like kamal is looking for a shot now

 

[Sage]

But we won't go for the win and we may be able to just bat out maidens from here on.

 

[Hydro]

i feel that these are the only hope left for Pak
