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

[AZ]

go on Taufeeq!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Openers and slip fielders have seen off the new ball. Time to cash in and build a lead.

 

[RAZZAQ-FAN]

When do they get back on the field?

 

[Hando]

Just slog it out, won't last much longer.

Azhar
Umar
Asad
Reman
Misbah
Tanvir

should follow

When do they get back on the field?

in another 14 mins.

Azhar
Umar
Asad
Reman
Misbah

why won't it last?

 

[KingKhanWC]

When do they get back on the field?

In around 15 mins.

Umar Akmal should be promoted in this situation.

 

[Energy]

Need to gather the thoughts again and carry on from here.

 

[saajidrox]

go out with blazing guns . send in Umar akmal next.

 

[james_bond]

we need to score runs at a quick rate so the bowlers have enough time as well. lead of above 300 for today will be a good one.

Started of well.

Just need to continue and not just rely on boundaries.

Should be looking for 1s and 2s as well because if or when Misbah comes in because he will go to sleep again and stop the scoreboard from moving!

:6 What timing

 

[violet_may]

:6 awesome stuff.

 

[AZ]

Lady seems to be drunk...on chicken.

 

[AZ]

100% Kittitian, indeed.

 

[cricfan4ever]

I would be highly surprised if they promote Umar next going by how defensive minded the management is...

 

[nads_rocks]

Somebody was asking for a 6 earlier on. There he has the 6 he was asking!

 

[james_bond]

it seems openers arent listening to misbah

[nads_rocks]

Need to find the singles and doubles and rotate the strike!

 

[cricfan4ever]

terrible running...lucky to survive...

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez was almost gone there

 

[AZ]

Dragged thru midwicket.

 

[kkmix]

Hafeez is a classy batsman.

Maiden 75/0

 

[cricfan4ever]

Taufeeq has slowed down considerably...see this is the problem, our batsmen don't have plan B when boundaries stop flowing...strike rotation is a must...

 

[james_bond]

lead now 124. taufeeq carrying good form from fielding, anyone else remember he had 4 catches against south africa and 7 altogether in that match.

Recent overs . . . . . 2 | . 1 1 . 4 . | . . . . . . | 1 .


Poor cricket by the openers just cannot rotate the strikes!

 

[cricfan4ever]

I mean at least take 2-3 singles an over...

you dont see singles,doubles,4's there?

 

[nads_rocks]

I mean at least take 2-3 singles an over...

I got slated by saying that in the session 1 thread!

Was told this is a test not an ODI. How funny!

1s and 2s are the key for test.

For Pakistan its either boundary or dot ball.

Pathetic cricket!

 

[NJamal]

Ouchhhhh

 

[nads_rocks]

you dont see singles,doubles,4's there?

I do but its . . . 2 . . . 4 then maiden then . . . 1

That is not 1s and 2s!

Where is the rotation?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

That must of hurt

bro, 1s & 2s are the bread & butter of good-great batsmen doesn't matter what the format!!!

even if we are to go through a stretch of 5 overs with excellent bowling, u can still milk 5-10 runs off it...how hard is to take 1-2 singles an over??? key is to not let the bowler settle on a line of attack and keep the fielders on their toes...make the opposition captain put on his thinking cap, force him to make changes...

 

[NJamal]

78/0

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

2more runs

 

[shaheer]

Taufeeq is in pressure of getting his 50 so let his 50 come then youll see the boundaries as well as strike rotation. it always happens to me as well when i am in my 40s i get the pressure of getting a 50 and start defencing

 

[NJamal]

80/0

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Bishoo Reminds me SL's Leggy Malinga Bandara.. Quite similar action..

 

[NJamal]

Maiden 80/0

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Maiden over

So where are the 1s and 2s!!!

 

[duostyle]

Fun fact guys.

That semi at Mohali was reportedly the most watched sporting event in history (1 billion viewers).

Yeah, sorry didn't know that, had to share.

@ match, I'm surprised we haven't lost a wicket yet. Should aim for 300+ now.

 

[NJamal]

82/0

 

[james_bond]

fiqa should aim for a big one

[BoomBoomCricket]

Hafeez does his usual.

 

[iHammad]

[mmkextreme_1]

Man we are really making Sammy look like Asif! Damn it!

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Wat a beauty bowled by Sammy

 

[nads_rocks]

1st wicket falls.

Was always going to happen no rotation of strike = pressure!

Good opening stand though.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Oh no.

 

[BoomBoomCricket]

In comes our Mr Dravid ala Azhar Ali.

 

[qaiser]

nothing special.
usual brain fart by the professor. poor technique of defending

 

[cricfan4ever]

now the RR will go down to less than 2.5, proper 'test' batsman on crease )

 

[nads_rocks]

Hafeez as he has done his entire career lets a good start go struggles to convert 30s to 50s and 50s to 100s!

 

[SOSami]

Hafeez. 30s. Out.

 

[TNA]

sammy has gone runless since the his first ball boundary

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Rameez the jinx.

LOL, exactly. Just stay quite now Ramiz.

 

[Friend786]

That was coming , hafeez was gone in the shelter

 

[nads_rocks]

Taufeeq shud keep the score from ticking because Misbah V2 is at the crease!

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Taufeeq gets his FIFTY

 

[Friend786]

Taufeeq 50

 

[NJamal]

Lucky 50 for Taufeeq

 

[cricfan4ever]

well played Taufeeq, now needs to convert this into a big score, take charge from here...

 

[kkmix]

Pachas for Taufeeq

 

[violet_may]
