[The_Cricket_Devil]

AND ANOTHER ONE! GR8 SHOT

 

[Sage]

Go Asim!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

are asim and yousuf aiming for a victory here? thats wat it seems like

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think they are batting the way it should be putting pressue on India by making pretty good balls disappear to the fence

 

[tahaqureshi]

if they make too many balls disappear to the fence, then we'll end up winning..we sure don't want that

 

[MecnunK]

I hope they temper their aggression, we can still draw this...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

C'MON PAKISTAN! there is still hope yet!
We need a big innings from KAMAL and YOYO!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[tahaqureshi]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Geordie Ahmed]

the indiands will lose their voices! they are appealing for everything!
totally ridiculous! hopefully the umpires are not influenced by Kumbles bhangra dance

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

u neva know umps may just give out to shut the bhindians up

 

[MecnunK]

72 overs left to get through..

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

72 overs??? that seems like a life time!

if we can get to 50 overs we should complain about the light and sightscreen

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Arun - "That would have been curtains for youhana if he hadn't hit it with his bat"

the hell kind of a comment is that isnt that wat cricket is about getting out if you dont use your bat!!??

 

[the true passionist]

well at the end of the day...
the 3 early wickets....will be the difference...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hahah The bhindians said good bowling jumbo to Kumble lol JUMBO

 

[Sage]

Keep the commentary quotes coming...

 

[tahaqureshi]

not to get through..to win

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

D D D @arun

 

[octavian]

If i was Darrel Hair I would slap Kumble and tell him to shut up , when returning his cap.

 

[MecnunK]

"38.6 Kumble to Youhana, no run, played to short leg, off the pads, the ball was going down the leg, appeal"

appeal again..this could work for us you know, f they keep on annoying teh umpires like this..they may get refused a genuine shout..

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan have to keep believing they can do it..
but never take it easy or too hard.

 

[sajjad]

how many overs left in the day???

 

[tahaqureshi]

we can win

 

[MecnunK]

70.

 

[kasoo10]

Guys with video, can you please tell how is wicket playing. Is ball keeping low. Is it turning or what?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

appeal again..this could work for us you know, f they keep on annoying teh umpires like this..they may get refused a genuine shout..

I hope thats the case! they are appealing for anything and everything, its a total shambles! im normally very peaceful BUT right now how i would love to smack Kumble with a bata chappal

 

[sajjad]

hmm
70 overs

well they need to see these spinners of till luinch first

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

id say about 70 more plu some more if umps think there can be a result and for the love of my sanity stop zooming in to the faces of the crowd i could see that ladies boogers

 

[the true passionist]

how many overs left in the day???

at this position seems countless...
But 70 to be precise..
Cricinfo has it on it's live scorecard

 

[tahaqureshi]

we can win

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Some of the balls have been pretty unpredictable but it isnt nearly as bad as ppl had said it to be

 

[kasoo10]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

1 more appeal to the increasing list...salah kumble

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

we can win

i agree! this partnership needs to keep going for a while

 

[MIG]

150 coming up ..... 175/4 next target - Ya Allah, help us!!!

 

[sajjad]

cmon MIG
u left us last night
and the target wasnt achieve

stay here now...im superstitious

 

[MecnunK]

29 mins to lunch!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!!!!!!

we can win

 

[Sage]

4!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and up comes the 150 with a great sweep by kamal im liking him even more and more plus the fact that he look s like saqlain (one of my favs) with a beard

 

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan

stay out there

 

[tahaqureshi]

trail by 267



we can win

 

[Kashif]

Bad start guys, but we still have some batting. The wicket has not deteriorated and is still a decent batting track.

I like the way Asim/Youhana are playing. We need them to hang around till tea if we want to win/draw.

 

[tahaqureshi]

trail by 266


we can win

 

[pakmandanish]

now we can start to think in a loss
because if they really make a draw out of it we can cheer even more
but a loss is more realistic..

 

[MecnunK]

68 overs left and 25 mins to lunch!! stay sensible!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

So now manjrekar thinks the differentiating factor between Pak and India are that indias first class batting avgs are better (50-60 for ind to paks 40) and KUMBLE APPEALS LIKE A FOOL FOR AN INSIDE EDGE THAT EVEN MANJU NOTICED

 

[tahaqureshi]

yoyo survives lbw decision



we can win

 

[the true passionist]

Ravi about Kamal..

"Keeps things simple"..

i agree...plays each ball on merit..

 

[Muddaser]

We have Misbah Ul Haq and Hasan Raza who average in the 50s.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea that was pretty biased by manju true bhindian if i eva saw one

 

[MecnunK]

kumble trying his tricks on yoyo...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

25 mins till lunch keep it up Pakistan

 

[sajjad]

[tahaqureshi]

[the true passionist]

i see people talking that the pitch is not that bad..
i do not quite agree....
the variable bounce is quite bad...
has kept dangerously low quite a few times

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[the true passionist]

And Bocknor laughs at the appeal

 

[MecnunK]

66 overs to go..

 

[pakmandanish]

yoyo survives lbw decision



we can win

please be honest to urself(!)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

when even sucknor laughs at a not out u know it was a really fruited up appeal

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

"Over Optimistic" is all the negativity ravi can come up with the crapp appealing going on finally manjrekar agrees they are appealing excessively

 

[the true passionist]

a mile outside leg...
indian appeal..
ban them all

 

[MecnunK]
