West Indies vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Basseterre | 22/5/11 | Day 3 : Session 1

[spoiled]

it is all in the mind...it is all mental

this is how you play from the start

just getting a few chances has altered the thinking in the mind and now all of a sudden they can play the shots

 

[nads_rocks]

And another

 

[Deewana Mastana]

My goodness gracious! Tony you beast!

 

[amirfanforlife]

waaahhhh

 

[Eht]

Vintage Toufeeq

 

[ads101]

It's funny Taufeeq plays so slow in all formats of international cricket, when he's got one of the best averages and strike rates in domestic TwentyTwenty cricket, lol. He averages 48 and a strike rate of 141!!

 

[Strike!]

Wow.

 

[Boi]

Taufeeq on fire!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Crashed with serious power. Superb cut shot, 4 more to TU.

 

[nads_rocks]

I guess I have kinetic power when I said they should pace their innings and build a huge lead!!!

 

[AZ]

Tracer bullet!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

when ???

that no ball caught behind in the 1st over you just told me about!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Taufeeq has turned into Viv Richards.

 

[violet_may]

Toffee strike rate 125 mind blasting. deserves T20 recall.

LOL wat! Haha you guys bring me good news. Excellent Toffee

 

[nads_rocks]

Another

 

[imshally81]

Roach should replace by sammy.....

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

WHAT IS ON?

 

[kkmix]

Lol Taufiq is angry why did they drop him, lunch was waiting for him. ate it now too late..

lovely shots btw.

 

[Fireworks11]

40/0.

Make hay now.

 

[nads_rocks]

Feel bad for roach first all that batting and now getting a battering in bowling!!!

He must be tired. What the hell is Sammy thinking!

 

[violet_may]

omg wat is going!? this better not be a cruel prank because all I see is you guys posting tons of 4s

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Am tempted to create an Andrew straus vs Taufeeq Umar thread

 

[thecricket]

lol in a test match

 

[TNA]

Toffe just drank a gallon of caffeine i believe

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

How long will Hafeez's patience last?

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ball doing nothing, Rampaul down to 82mph. Massive drops by Windies.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

:4

Hafeez

 

[AZ]

It's funny Taufeeq plays so slow in all formats of international cricket, when he's got one of the best averages and strike rates in domestic TwentyTwenty cricket, lol. He averages 48 and a strike rate of 141!!

He has, or had rather, a huge reputation as a tape ball player in Lahore.

A living legend




Clipped thru wide mid-on.

 

[nads_rocks]

If its not a four then its a dot ball.

1s and 2s should be there too. Thats key to test cricket!!

Rotation of strike!!!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

 

[kkmix]

:4

 

[imshally81]

44....
Professor joins the party

 

[amirfanforlife]

omg wat is going!? this better not be a cruel prank because all I see is you guys posting tons of 4s

Are you not watching the match?

 

[kkmix]

Scoring at 9 an over looks like someone gave dem bad message

 

[nads_rocks]

Hafeez in on the act

 

[KingKhanWC]

omg wat is going!? this better not be a cruel prank because all I see is you guys posting tons of 4s

It's a dream, we will all wake up soon.

 

[imshally81]

Sammy on

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

If its not a four then its a dot ball.

1s and 2s should be there too. Thats key to test cricket!!

Rotation of strike!!!

 

[amirfanforlife]

taufeeq

 

[A2011]

Another four, Taufeeq Is on fire here

 

[AZ]

Glorious.

 

[KingKhanWC]

TU in T20 mode. Make him captain. 4 more!

 

[kkmix]

Haha Taufeeq younksta beauty.

 

[imshally81]

another :444444444444444444

 

[GOAT]

93 run lead in 8 overs... I ain't even mad.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

Taufeeq is kicking WIs butt, hes reminding me of Saeed Anwar no joke

 

[violet_may]

Are you not watching the match?

No, don't have access to the match (yet).

 

[duostyle]

Interesting start.

 

[Fireworks11]

Good start. So far.

 

[nads_rocks]

Woah another

 

[Poison]

West Indies FINALLY FINALLY being put in their place.

 

[saajidrox]

Attacking is the way to go

stupid defensive mindset all these days :S

 

[Fireworks11]

No, don't have access to the match (yet).

Why? Not on in Toronto?

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

West Indies FINALLY FINALLY being put in their place.

Precisely. We just underperform a lot of the time tbh, for numerous reasons.

 

[nads_rocks]

4 . . .

Thats what I mean there is no rotation of strikes.

No 1s and no 2s!!

 

[Poison]

97-1

 

[KingKhanWC]

TU 33 off 27.

Bishoo should be on very shortly.

 

[Poison]

4 . . .

Thats what I mean there is no rotation of strikes.

No 1s and no 2s!!

This is not a one dayer

 

[violet_may]

Why? Not on in Toronto?

No...not unless you pay for it. I have to settle for ...err other means lets just say.

 

[IAJ]

The way Taufeeq is playing now is exactly how Sehwag, gambhir etc play. Just stay positive and put the bowlers under preassure instead of the usual tuk tuk like some frightened mouse.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

I think Misbah should come in at 3 today to maintain the run rate

 

[Hando]

Attacking is the way to go

stupid defensive mindset all these days :S

When coach and cap'n are defensive then.......

 

[nads_rocks]

This is not a one dayer

I never said it was.

The key to test cricket is taking singles and doubles.

Boundaries are good but Pakistan are just dealing in boundaries right now!!

If its not a boundary its a dot ball!!!

 

[GOAT]

From cricinfo:

Devang: "Looks like the Pakistan batsmen have realised that when they approach an innings like an ODI they can score atleast 250 and they're trying to do exactly that. They don't have the temperament to play the typical sedate innings that is built conventionally. Well it seems to be working for the openers"

lol @ Indians backhandedly complimenting us.

[Bhaijaan]

Very positive start provided by the openers, Taufiq is on a mission

 

[nads_rocks]

I think Misbah should come in at 3 today to maintain the run rate

You mean stop the runs!!!

 

[iHammad]

Awesome start boys, positive

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

No sixes yet ?!

Damn this defensive mindset !!

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

is now has the 5th highest average for a Pakistan opener EVER!

 

[Bhaijaan]

First time i see Pakistan dominating the preceedings at start of play Finally you are on track

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah will have a heart attack, play slow guys.

 

[AZ]

Just short!

 

[KingKhanWC]

It's a small ground. If you get a bad ball it should go for four not one or two. Trying to rotate the strike off good balls can be risky. This approach is fine for these conditions and circumstances.

ooooh, just short. Hafeez lucky again.

 

[kkmix]

Seriously no matter which mode Pakistan batsmen bat in, they will score 220-250.

 

[amirfanforlife]

misbah will have a heart attack, play slow guys.

[nads_rocks]

Maiden!

 

[duostyle]

We need chingle dubble

 

[kkmix]

Run Rate has fallen below 5, disgrace.

 

[W63L35]

Unfortunately true!
