Test 3, Day 2 Official Thread [30/11/05]

[zushy_786]

ramiz and waqar wearing matching clothes.

No pink either...

[Cartman]

ramiz and younis raised very genuine questions.. either one of youhana and inzi need to bat up the order

[nafajafam]

No pink either...

pink only when manjrekar is with him

[nafajafam]

good to see butt leaving deliveries outside off stump

[Cartman]

speed is sitting in the enclosure.. i hope someone goes and gives him an atomic wedgie for not doing anything about cheating umires..

[nedian21]

Asim "scapegoat" Kamal being forced to face the new bowl - while Inzy and Yousuf choose to stay back - that is called leading from the front .. In my book .. Inzy the great batsman will always remain an avg captain who always lacked courage


:)) u r doubting Inzi's ability abt leading from the front. when u started to follow Pakistan cricket.

Though I agree that Asim shouldnt be at no. 3 and Yusuf shd have been send with Hasan/Asim at 4 and Inzi at 5.

[deviously~fading~away]

Asim off the mark also

[sars_pal]

4444444444444444444444444444444444444 nice shot

[Big Mac]

oooooooh Asim's got 4 runs but that's really not the type of shot I want to see him playing this early on

[nafajafam]

4 by asim..

[Raz]

Waqar chatting manure as usual.

"Salman Butt struggled in Australia earlier this year".

So who got a century and half century in the Tests??

[Geordie Ahmed]

Asim "scapegoat" Kamal being forced to face the new bowl - while Inzy and Yousuf choose to stay back - that is called leading from the front .. In my book .. Inzy the great batsman will always remain an avg captain who always lacked courage

what rot - Inzi is the only consistent scorer in our team, we are rely on him to bail us out and most times he does! he should and can bat wherever he damn feels like, if thats at 4,5,6 or even 10 i cudnt care less

[Jonty]

hey fellas. Good to see england out for under 300

[sars_pal]

well played another good over by our guys prob just one more

[nafajafam]

Pakistan 12-1

[Cartman]

that was a safe shot.. the ball hit the ground quite a bit in front of the fielders, in the gap and raced away.. i dont know why the feel its not safe.. it was perfectly safe in my book..

good shot

[nafajafam]

out

[sars_pal]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo damm it

[deviously~fading~away]

and its luch with pak 2 down for 12 runs

[Awesome Anjum]

uhoh!

[CrickFan]

he wont be losing much sleep.

Don't worry najaf bhai - he won't be losing sleep no matter what happens - as long as aloo parathas with lot of butter are served to him regularly in breakfast

[nafajafam]

Kamal goes lbw to hoggyboy. was plumb. rudi had no hesitation. this is the last over before lunch

[offstump]

oh crap

[hasanahmad]

well i hope that shut ups people calling for asim kamal to come ahead of other batsmen

[deviously~fading~away]

our batting trying their best to produce another Famous pak batting collapse!

[Hash]

partnership time

[Nauman]

All rests on the big shoulders of Inzi once again.

[Gasherbrum]

2 wkts down before lunch, just about where i'd thought we'd be. onwards and upwards, i say!

[nedian21]

well i hope that shut ups people calling for asim kamal to come ahead of other batsmen


ya thats a good excuse. A batsman who has consistently scored at no.6 and u r dropping him for no good reason and then bringing him only bcoz YK was unavailable and then sending him at 3. U have every right to ask for his head. :15:

[Big Mac]

well i hope that shut ups people calling for asim kamal to come ahead of other batsmen


Eh? He's not a test number 3, should never have been batting there in the first place. Number 6 is his spot and that's where he should be playing. At least he got out to a good delivery instead of looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights like the amazing prodigy that is Hasan Raza

[Hash]

was it just me or did Waqar Younis say that Salman Butt struggled in Australia?

If I was not hearing things then, ummm, what exactly was he blabbering on about? Because I do not remember Salman Butt struggling in Australia but it might be some other Salman Butt he is talking about

[CrickFan]

2 gone for almost nothing on board -- so actually my gut feeling was a lot better than most of the analysis and comments that was dished out .. Pakistani batting is crap - Only Salman and Inzy have been consistent ..Malik , Raza , Asim are passengers pretending to be batsmen .. Asim atleast is a decent no 6 ..but at this level one should be able to adapt ..otherwise it is difficult to survive

[sars_pal]

288 from here still isnt a problem with patnerships but having said that we need more to well and truly put the game out of england reac h in terms of winning it

[badxhah]

unkay tail ender 25 over khel gai
aur yeh batsmen 4 over khel nahi pai

[Nauman]

was it just me or did Waqar Younis say that Salman Butt struggled in Australia?

If I was not hearing things then, ummm, what exactly was he blabbering on about? Because I do not remember Salman Butt struggling in Australia but it might be some other Salman Butt he is talking about

I think he was confusing between Butt and Farhat.

[Muddaser]

Eh? He's not a test number 3, should never have been batting there in the first place. Number 6 is his spot and that's where he should be playing. At least he got out to a good delivery instead of looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights like the amazing prodigy that is Hasan Raza


Just wait and see what Hasan does on this pitch before opening your mouth.

[mulan]

wonder what will happen if Inzi fails....

he's only human after all

[nafajafam]

well i hope that shut ups people calling for asim kamal to come ahead of other batsmen

He's a number 6 and that was a good ball.

[Gasherbrum]

wasn't expecting much from asim in the first innings.

[akpower]

asim was going fine until he encountered what was a peach of a delivery.

[CrickFan]

Hash bhai ..kahaan gayey tumhaarey waadey ..Pakistan batting reemphasizing what they are - 2 man show ... Inzy and Salman ...bakee sab sirf duaa padhtey hain during the huddle

[Hash]

we need a big session now for Pakistan

Mohammed Yousuf and Salman Butt.......over to you boys.

[Nauman]

So fellas do you think we will get a first innings lead?

[Nauman]

wonder what will happen if Inzi fails....

he's only human after all

We will repeat the performances we gave in Australia :O

[Big Mac]

Just wait and see what Hasan does on this pitch before opening your mouth.

I've seen what Raza can do on a much better batting pitch and it wasn't pretty on both occasions.

[nafajafam]

Hash bhai ..kahaan gayey tumhaarey waadey ..Pakistan batting reemphasizing what they are - 2 man show ... Inzy and Salman ...bakee sab sirf duaa padhtey hain during the huddle

I thought Inzi was an average player for you

[Nauman]

I've seen what Raza can do on a much better batting pitch and it wasn't pretty on both occasions.

Anyone can have a bad test match.

[CrickFan]

So fellas do you think we will get a first innings lead?
:20: Nauman bhai - mazaak kar rahey ho kiaa ??

[Cartman]

I can see Pakistan are just goin out there to protect wickets and not score runs.. WRONG MENTALITY.. DONT FALL INTO THAT TRAP.. I am sure this has been preached a lot to them but this is really somethin going against their natural game

we are not good blockers.. let hem play their game.. before u know it we would be over the 300 mark I am positive.. lets hope Youhana and Butt play their natural game.

[Nauman]

:20: Nauman bhai - mazaak kar rahey ho kiaa ??

You can never say for all we know both Butt and Yousaf come and score big tons.

[CrickFan]

I thought Inzi was an average player for you
Najaf bhai - lagtaa hai apney chashmaa nahee lagayaa hai - I wrote - He is a great batsman - but an average captain .. can't blame you for not reading the posts - when we are losing top order batsmen left right and center .

[nafajafam]

Wicket is still good for batting. Dont see why other batsmen cannot go onto score tons.

[Invictus]

Everyone gives up hope so soon. We still have a line-up left. We can still do this. If that was Inzi instead of Asim right now think where would we be. Inzi likes to play at number 5 and it makes sense. He can play according to the situation and in case of a collaspe we still have hope with him.

[Nauman]

Wicket is still good for batting. Dont see why other batsmen cannot go onto score tons.

Ask Butt and Kamal, the minute Kamal came onto face Hoggard I knew he was going to get out like that because that has happened on god knows how many times now.

[sars_pal]

I agree its the way to play also if we score quickly then we leave time but if we hang around to long then get bowled out cheaply we are wel and truly letting them dictate them game and we cant afford that in this game wheer they HAVE to win

[Hash]

Malik gave his wicket away quite pathetically

Kamal got a good ball.

Butt is looking in good touch. Yousuf needs to stand and deliver now. He needs to show the world why he is an automatic selection in our test team. We need him now. Let's see what he can do.

[nafajafam]

Najaf bhai - lagtaa hai apney chashmaa nahee lagayaa hai - I wrote - He is a great batsman - but an average captain .. can't blame you for not reading the posts - when we are losing top order batsmen left right and center .

my bad bhai... aankh mein aansoo aa gaye thay, sahih tarha nazar nahin aaya.

He has the technique to play up the order. Asim looked fine untik he got out on what was a peach of a delivery. As for Hasan, anyone whose ready to write off a batsman after just one game must possess "amazing" cricketing prowess.

[immubhai]

how did Malik gotten out? HASH? did you see him getting out? yar, i am sorry, cricinfo.com is somehow now uploading anything, the server seems like bombarded....please tell

[nafajafam]

Ask Butt and Kamal, the minute Kamal came onto face Hoggard I knew he was going to get out like that because that has happened on god knows how many times now.

that delivery is always very effective against left handed batsmen and hoggard can bowl it pretty well. you are right, it was always on the cards.
A left handed and right handed combo will be nice now... hopefully will mess up the bowlers line.

[CrickFan]

Wicket is still good for batting. Dont see why other batsmen cannot go onto score tons.

We are left with only Inzy - I don't remember when Moyo last played a match winning / saving innings ..It will be unfair to expect Hasan Raza to score a ton bcoz he lacks experience at this level ..

[deviously~fading~away]

guys remember we need 1 good stand other can chip in

[akpower]

Ask Butt and Kamal, the minute Kamal came onto face Hoggard I knew he was going to get out like that because that has happened on god knows how many times now.

Thats an inetresting point u make there. How many times has it happend before? If thats right then that means he's got a problem with the pitched up ball swinging in late.

[Nauman]

that delivery is always very effective against left handed batsmen and hoggard can bowl it pretty well. you are right, it was always on the cards.
A left handed and right handed combo will be nice now... hopefully will mess up the bowlers line.

It was a good delivery true but Kamal should have expected it he went far too across, Hoggard had brought in all other deliveries so what made him think that it wouldnt happen here.

[akpower]

how did Malik gotten out? HASH? did you see him getting out? yar, i am sorry, cricinfo.com is somehow now uploading anything, the server seems like bombarded....please tell

Clipped the 5th ball he faced straight into the hands of the midwicket fieldsman.

[Nauman]

Thats an inetresting point u make there. How many times has it happend before? If thats right then that means he's got a problem with the pitched up ball swinging in late.

Lets see he got out like that a couple of times against Sri Lanka, In India too Balaji got him like this once or twice and then there was once in WI.

[immubhai]

That was obvious, Asim never was comfortable batting up the order. Inzi made him a scapegoat. He should have asked MOYO to go up or he should have come to bat himself at 3, Imran Khan has said it before India series to Inzi that MOYO should be promoted to 3.......khair, we still need as SHEZ said, one good stand....I hope Butt and Inzi please do it one more time for us

[mulan]

We will repeat the performances we gave in Australia :O True...Considering you last won a TEST match in Aus exactly 10 years ago....

[immubhai]

Clipped the 5th ball he faced straight into the hands of the midwicket fieldsman.



NOOOOOOOOOOOOoo. how could he throw his wicket like this? totally irresponsible....acccccccccccccccccccccch...Malik bhai, kia kiay?

[Officer Barbrady]

Ask Butt and Kamal, the minute Kamal came onto face Hoggard I knew he was going to get out like that because that has happened on god knows how many times now.

Yes...a straight ball is useful against Kamal early on. I feel he's a little slow in reaction time too.

It's a good pitch to bowl on thus England should always 'fancy' their chances.

[Nauman]

True...Considering you last won a TEST match in Aus exactly 10 years ago....

I meant batting collapses.

[CrickFan]

I am putting my head on the chopping block - I predict that Pakistani batting will collapse in the first inngs (fall well short of England ) and England will level this series easily - Younus and Afridi's excusion have been a big blow .... And I sincerely hope that my gut feeling is wrong .. Pray that I am proved wrong

[Nauman]

Yes...a straight ball is useful against Kamal early on. I feel he's a little slow in reaction time too.

It's a good pitch to bowl on thus England should always 'fancy' their chances.

I dont think its such a good pitch to bowl on, if England got out cheaply its their own doing, I cant remember a single wicket apart from that of Udal which has been taken on a good delivery in England innings or for that matter bought all the wickets were gifted to Pakistan. England bowlers didnt even look threatning in the short burst before lunch just Malik's and Kamal's own wrong doing.

[nafajafam]

It was a good delivery true but Kamal should have expected it he went far too across, Hoggard had brought in all other deliveries so what made him think that it wouldnt happen here.

true. before the delivery was bowled, the leg stump was visible and then he came across a bit too much.

[stb]

you can't expect miracles everytime off Inzi

[Nauman]

The only reason I think Pakistan wont do well with the bat is because England has gotten their bowling combination right, their secret to success has always been 4 quicks, the two spinners were completely useless anyway.

[nedian21]

:20: Nauman bhai - mazaak kar rahey ho kiaa ??


INSHALLAH we will. Crickfan dont lose hope so early. Inzi and Yusuf have bailed us out of these situations so many times. actually this is the 1st time in this series we are facing this position as Malik and Salman were giving decentish start and YK also. game is on but INSHALLAH our 2 best batsman are still there along with Salman .

[PapaBear]

I am putting my head on the chopping block - I predict that Pakistani batting will collapse in the first inngs (fall well short of England ) and England will level this series easily - Younus and Afridi's excusion have been a big blow .... And I sincerely hope that my gut feeling is wrong .. Pray that I am proved wrong

Inzi and salman are both due for low

[PapaBear]

Inzi and salman are both due for low
Inzi and salman are both due for low scores

[nafajafam]

Match starts. Pakistan 12-2

[Amjid Javed]

moyo off the mark with 4.

pak 16/2

[nafajafam]

good 4 by yousuf. clipped off the legs. good timing

[Hash]

Yousuf is due a big score and just hit a beautiful shot for 4

[nafajafam]

Pakistan 17-2

[PapaBear]

Yousuf is due a big score and just hit a beautiful shot for 4
This is Hassan Raza's day inshallah. They will collapse around him while he makes a double century. Yusuf is also due.

[nafajafam]

that cop on the roof should be given a sniper rifle and not a normal one. dont see what good he can do with a normal one from that height.

[Amjid Javed]

Such a shame our 1st two batsmen threw their wickets away!

[Hash]

salaam amjid bro

how is it going?

[mulan]

I meant batting collapses. I know..

And I meant the fact that Pakistan have been relying on Inzi for WAY too long. He fails, Pakistan fails.

Inzi will delay his retirement, not because he feels he still wants to play, but because he will feel OBLIGED to play. For the sake of the team.

Pakistan must get a replacement for him soon, or they'll be up the creek without a bat... At least to get some of the responsibility off his shoulders

[Amjid Javed]

salaam amjid bro

how is it going?

v salam, am good mashallah. how are you?

i had huge worries that our batsmen would struggle on such a surface.

we need a big partnership here!

[nafajafam]

Pakistan 18-2

[Amjid Javed]

seems england have an excellent field set for moyo. he needs to keep his concentration.

[Hash]

I'm very well mashallah

Feeling nervous now. These two need a big stand.

[Nauman]

seems england have an excellent field set for moyo. he needs to keep his concentration.

Yousaf and concentration are antethesis.

pak 22/2

[PapaBear]

I'm very well mashallah

Feeling nervous now. These two need a big stand.

As long as I dont see a Wicket Alert from Cricinfo I am working away, cant watch, wont watch even if I was at home. Dont ruin this chance of winning a test series. Come on Pakistan!

[nafajafam]

cracking shot by yousuf. well fielded, single taken.

[nafajafam]

Pakistan 22-2

[nafajafam]

4 legbyes.

I can sense Hair twitching his finger. He is just waiting for the opportunity.

[nafajafam]

flintoff back on. vaughan mix his bowling up.

very poor shot by moyo slash and miss!

[Hash]

Pakistan 36 for 2 (252 behind)

Salman Butt not out 18
Mohammed Yousuf not out 7

Keep going boys. Concentration. Concentration. Concentration.

[nafajafam]

Yousuf slashing at one and almost nicks it

[PapaBear]

This is Hassan Raza's day!

[Hash]

Hasan Raza will not have to bat today. Inshallah.

[nafajafam]

good over by flintoff.
Pakistan 36-2

[nafajafam]

This is Hassan Raza's day!

InshaAllah he wont get to bat today. :D

[pacman]

As far as I can remember, Pakistan has a good record in Lahore. When was the last time we actually lost a test match in Lahore. Does anybody know?

[Hash]

Yousuf has got 7 runs from 30 balls

It is good that he is being cautious. It is good that he is getting his eye in. But what does he have against rotating the strike? It takes the pressure off. It keeps the bowlers and opposition captain thinking.

[nafajafam]

butt slashes at one angling away and misses.

[Hash]

partnership now worth 25 runs

Another 100 at least please

[Hash]

37 for 2

[Hash]

1 run from the last 3 overs

Important we don't go into a shell here

[Amjid Javed]

pak 39/2

[Easa]

Flintoff bowling well here.....

[nafajafam]

good single taken.

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely cover drive for 4 by moyo.

[deviously~fading~away]

6 from the over

[Easa]

Why is Inzi coming at 5? Is he scared? God, we need him at 3. Then Yousof at 5 and Kamal at 6. Raza can come at 4.

[nafajafam]

4 by yousuf. half volley driven to extra cover.

[Easa]

Great shot by Mo~!

[nafajafam]

Pakistan 43-2

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

Flintoff pluging away @ butt

he has 2 be careful here!

no ball

pak 44/2

[Easa]

Butt, we dont need any edges right now...

[nafajafam]

butt is getting bogged down. just played a risky shot

[Amjid Javed]

As far as I can remember, Pakistan has a good record in Lahore. When was the last time we actually lost a test match in Lahore. Does anybody know?

Pakistan have won last 3 tests @ lahore. last defeat was 01/02 v sri lanka.

[Amjid Javed]

Moyo plays a poor shot just goes past slip for 4

no fkin need!

48/2 very lucky!

[nafajafam]

edge off yousuf goes for a 4 to third man

[MecnunK]

is the ball stil swinging..? should be doing less than morning now..

[Amjid Javed]

Oh well doesnt learn! slashes again and is dropped by flintoff!

2 runs!

[Amjid Javed]

is the ball stil swinging..? should be doing less than morning now..

no ball isnt swinging as much but moyo is trying his best to get out caught slip!

[MecnunK]

he is a fricking idiot!!

[Schiller]

ball is moving a bit yes
mofo!!

[Officer Barbrady]

It's not swinging but there's some bounce.

[Schiller]

ggg

[Amjid Javed]

wide from flintoff.

pak 51/2

[nafajafam]

ouch.. butt getting a makeover by flintoff.. short ball, butt ducks with his back against the ball and gets hit. appeal for lbw from flintoff.

[nafajafam]

ball still looks pretty new

[nafajafam]

single taken 53-2

[nafajafam]

short ball by harmy to butt.. plays at is awkwardly and single taken

[CrickFan]

Yousuf out to prove - that class counts for nothing if it is not backed by application - When was the last time he played a match winning /saving innings for Pakistan ?

[Amjid Javed]

pakistans need to just occupy crease and battle thru here! it aint gona be easy.

i dont care if it takes 2/3 days to get 300 runs!

[nafajafam]

plunkett onto bowl now

[offstump]

plunkett on now

[Amjid Javed]

Butt smashes a pull shot for 4

pak 58/2

[nafajafam]

short ball, butt hooks for a 4. good shot

[nafajafam]

Pak 58-2

[CrickFan]

288 looks huge at the moment

[MecnunK]

ouch.. butt getting a makeover by flintoff.. short ball, butt ducks with his back against the ball and gets hit. appeal for lbw from flintoff.

I bet botham didnt comment on the stupidity of the appeal against butt as he did previously when pak did teh same..

[offstump]

butt really needs to work on his pull shots

[Amjid Javed]

lovely shot off his legs for 3 by moyo.

[Amjid Javed]

butt really needs to work on his pull shots

Id rather he not play it at all!

[MecnunK]

well these two have got a start so I expect them to hopfully get us past 100 atleast unless ofcourse Moyo crumbles and starts slogging..

[Amjid Javed]

Butt finally gets a ball to drive and gets 2 runs.

[nafajafam]

I bet botham didnt comment on the stupidity of the appeal against butt as he did previously when pak did teh same..

bootha wasnt commentating then..... would have been plumb in his book

[Amjid Javed]

well these two have got a start so I expect them to hopfully get us past 100 atleast unless ofcourse Moyo crumbles and starts slogging..

Both these two need to get big runs here i agree!

[nafajafam]

another drive, 2 runs taken. 63-2

[Amjid Javed]

4 for moyo off leg glance from plunkett.

pak 67/2

[CrickFan]

We need a huge partnership ("of mammoth proportions") here ...50 partneship up

[Amjid Javed]

quick single taken. very risky.

pak 68/2

[nafajafam]

68-3. Inzi in. Drinks break

[CrickFan]

hmmm ....same old story bhaiyon - kuch nahee badlaaa

[Nauman]

Arghh thats 4/5 times he has gotten out like this.

[madaboutlfc]

Butt has a big problem with short ball and balls outside his offstump.. he needs a couple of years in county cricket to improve himself

[offstump]

bichara inzi, once again has to come out and save us

[offstump]

butt was really bogged down the whole innings, it looked like it was just a matter of time...

[nafajafam]

becharay inzi bhai... out of the comfort of the pavilion

[Amjid Javed]

pak 69/3

[Amjid Javed]

Inzi off mark with 2

[offstump]

288 looks like a big target

[Amjid Javed]

what a shot! 4

cover driven by moyo!

[irfan]

very tricky time, find it difficult to watch. Can feel a Hair or Koertzen special coming up.

[MecnunK]

150 looks big when you regularly lose wickets...

[Amjid Javed]

moyo has to be careful he doesnt get over confident here!

I've seen what Raza can do on a much better batting pitch and it wasn't pretty on both occasions.


Big deal.stop pining asim's failures on raza.He got a good ball.THATS IT.

Guys I told u we will lose this match and I guarantee we will.

We have a open who cant open. We have a bunny at no 3 and a bunny at no 6. There is too much resting on Inzi's shoulders.

[deviously~fading~away]

Inzi looking a bit edgey there, according to rameez he is thinking a lot in his head

[offstump]

inzi lucky there

[Amjid Javed]
