[Amjid Javed]

single for moyo and 100 partnership..

[Bilal_Kureshi]

hopefully raza gets a big 100 here

[Amjid Javed]

single for raza

pak 169/3

[shan]

well we have to get 500 if we want to win or save this match batting last will be difficult

[Amjid Javed]

david lloyd getting hungry!

[Bilal_Kureshi]

i think pak needs to score atleast 400 to take full control of the match

[Hash]

I love the way the commentators are acting as if Raza is a number 11. I would so LOVE IT if he scores a 100 and then runs into the commentary box and screams in the faces of Ramiz, Sanjay and Waqar as his celebration.

[Cartman]

tell david lloyd what the heck that was.. nimco... u moron

[MecnunK]

so are we going to protest if umpires dont offer us light tonight as they offered the english last night?

Yeah I'll start a thread on PP protesting ;)

[Hash]

well we have to get 500 if we want to win or save this match batting last will be difficult

ummm. not quite.

[Bitman]

I dint know taliban were following the pakistan cricket team these days!

:)))

[Amjid Javed]

raza being tested by short ball here!

[Bilal_Kureshi]

how was salman the brylcreem butt out?

[Farah]

Y was Kamal batting so high, cudnt the seniors take pressure off him and bat there themselves(Yousaf)? He mightve been more usefull at 5 or 6 > we lost him for only 5 runs!

[shan]

how much time left in the day?

[Bitman]

how was salman the brylcreem butt out?

Thin edge to the keeper.

[Cartman]

i see some english supporters with a twisted sense of humor logon with their english names and then start posting crap like
"praise be to allah. mashallah .. alhamdulillal.. inzamam will come back and score runs.. inshallah...



jeeeeesus.. did you see that harmy delivery... mayt?? what a jaffa that one was"



bunch of idiots!

[MecnunK]

100 lead will be enough..if we can get it.

[Hash]

England were offered the light at 11.30 (uk time) yesterday (4.30 pak time). That is in 17 minutes from now.

I doubt the umpires will be so quick to offer it to us but let's see.

[Amjid Javed]

3/4 short balls... now will come the yorker!

[Bilal_Kureshi]

aah thanks..

[Cartman]

lloyd is going to get food poisoning im telling you.

[Bilal_Kureshi]

if the ball is driveable hassan will hit a four

[Hash]

Raza seems to be handling this quite well

[Amjid Javed]

quick single by raza

pak 170/3

[deviously~fading~away]

how was salman the brylcreem butt out?

Take a wild wild guess :P

[Amjid Javed]

lloyd is going to get food poisoning im telling you.

more likely to get ring burn :))

[Bilal_Kureshi]

5 short balls eh

[Amjid Javed]

Take a wild wild guess :P

run out by hair :P

[Cartman]

koertzen ko nimco khuwao..... naaley ro piyao..

[Betty S]

For your information Cartman I am not an english supporter. I support Pakistan. My username was Betty Swollocks but the moderators changed it to Betty S.

[Amjid Javed]

cameraman doing superb job by focusing on one lovely lady!

[Bilal_Kureshi]

15 mins before close?

[deviously~fading~away]

170-3 looking good. Raza needs to pull a good score here!

[Amjid Javed]

lovely shot for 4 by raza!

[Cartman]

betty swallows?? really.. wow..


thanks for the compliment.

[shan]

England were offered the light at 11.30 (uk time) yesterday (4.30 pak time). That is in 17 minutes from now.

I doubt the umpires will be so quick to offer it to us but let's see.

so another 15 minuts left but there is still 31 over to b bowled so we will lost another 25 overs today

[Farah]

Nice four by Raza

[Amjid Javed]

170-3 looking good. Raza needs to pull a good score here!

hes justed pulled a 4 :P

[Bilal_Kureshi]

when did the umpires take time last night?

[MecnunK]

No need for that Betty Boo ;) It's all friendly here..

[the_game]

Raza needs to stay in until the end of play.

[Farah]

Another four by Raza sweet timing :22:

[Amjid Javed]

wow... lovely square drive for 4 by raza.

[Bitman]

koertzen ko nimco khuwao..... naaley ro piyao.. massi museebtey ki kutti ka putter hai ya ... oye light offer kar marasee pyo ki nakammi aulad

:)))

[Cartman]

nice four by raza

Farah


hello Farah.. welcome back

Farah

[Amjid Javed]

pak 179/3

[akpower]

hasan raza will move more freely as he spends more time on the crease, thats common-sense really. it will all come very soon IA. i really want him to do well. ramiz n co. got really stuck into him early on and i'd love to see him prove them how big morons all of them are.

[Malik]

Lead of 100 will win this game, England 2nd innings all out 250.
Crucial that we score good runs from next 2 partnerships.

[Kashif]

wow... lovely square drive for 4 by raza.

ditto

[the_game]

RESPECT CARTMAN'S AUTHORITAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

[pak4life]

sukar ha raza has finally got over his nervous

[Farah]

Hi Cartman thanx, and for ur benfit Im n longer adding my name at end of any message seen as u dislike it so much :P

[usman7]

[karachiite]

2 good boundries by Hasan. Carry on guys, just 10 more minutes to go!!!

[Amjid Javed]

quick single by moyo.

pak 180/3

[Bitman]

I hope Ramiz and Waqar lose their voices till Xmas.

[Cartman]

but miss it now..

:(


i get confused if its really farah or someone else if i dont see that name down there

Farah


and like Game said.. Respect my authoritah!

[Cartman]

everybody is falling apart.. by the time ODI series starts it would be pakistani juniors versus england A.. haha..

[Farah]

Raza is out to harminson caught at slip

[Hash]

out

[Amjid Javed]

raza gone. poor shot! slashed at it and gets caught in gully!

[karachiite]

Raza OUT damn.

[Amjid Javed]

very poor shot. his technic was exposed their!

pakistan 180/4 and in abit of trouble!

[shan]

last thing pakistan wanted

[sars_pal]

noooooooooooooooooooo that was a poor shot was caught on thr crease now who will come in We shoukdnt klet Inzy bat till tommorow

[the_game]

Oh my God, it's Shoaib "The Wall" Akhtar.

[immubhai]

sheisse

[Bilal_Kureshi]

actually its been sometime Kamran Akmal scored some runs.. maybe its his turn here

[Farah]

Akhtar is in :10:

[Amjid Javed]

akthar in now.

[karachiite]

Shoaib being sent in as night watchman. Lack of common sense showed by Raza.

[immubhai]

lag gaai team kaai.....

[Amjid Javed]

well played akthar

keeps 1st ball out

[Cartman]

this guy is huge .. look at his shoulder.. ... crap... no wonder he generates so much pace.

[Bitman]

If Raza's technique is not good enough for these pitches, he'll struggle badly in England. Could this match be a turning point in his career?

[Bilal_Kureshi]

shoiab "the wall" hahahahahhaah

[shan]

can't believe they have send akhtar

akhtar gona save moyo this time

[PapaBear]

This is Hassan Raza's Match. Butt and Inzimam are due for low scores, law of propbability

[Amjid Javed]

moyo gets another single.

pak 181/4

[Bitman]

It is wise to have replaced Sami with Akhtar as Pakistan's nightwatchman.

[shan]

Shoaib being sent in as night watchman. Lack of common sense showed by Raza.

now raza just had to pla another 10 minuts :12:

[qaisar]

shoaib akhtar will play better than that crap hasan raza.

[the_game]

Botham orgasmic about "another quick wicket".

[Amjid Javed]

If Raza's technique is not good enough for these pitches, he'll struggle badly in England. Could this match be a turning point in his career?

could be the end for a few more years...!

[shan]

shoaib akhtar will play better than that crap hasan raza.

agree with u

[Bitman]

This is Hassan Raza's Match. Butt and Inzimam are due for low scores, law of propbability

Did you just wake up?

[Cartman]

law of probability doesnt work with the pakistani team..

sami took 2 wickets last innings.. and i threw my stat books in the garbage when that happened.

[Bitman]

Botham orgasmic about "another quick wicket".

:)))

[immubhai]

Why was Raza playing like as if it were a one dayer? I thought in the warm up match he played with loads of patience....no need for all those drives, look at MOYO, he had shut down the business long ago

[Bitman]

law of probability doesnt work with the pakistani team..

sami took 2 wickets last innings.. and i threw my stat books in the garbage when that happened.

Well said!

This seems to be a highly entertaining thread! :)))

[immubhai]

sami took 2 wickets last innings.. and i threw my stat books in the garbage when that happened.
:D

[Cartman]

its funny because hasan has been playin club cricket in england for ages now.. and if he cant tighten his technique after playing so many years in such bowler friendly seaming conditions, i dont know how can he improve then.

[Bilal_Kureshi]

basically all this means is that Shahid's position as Numero six is well established

[nedian21]

excellent yorker. well dug out by akhtar

[Amjid Javed]

looks like 1 or 2 overs left in day.

[Bilal_Kureshi]

last over of the day?

[Bitman]

basically all this means is that Shahid's position as Numero six is well established

And rightly so!

[karachiite]

whats the light like now? Cant be too long left to go.

[Bitman]

last over of the day?

Hopefully and very possibly.

[Amjid Javed]

moyo gets 4 thru covers

[Farah]

Slower ball hit for four by Yousaf

[Bilal_Kureshi]

maan we lost almost 25 overs today eh? this is not good..
last night we lost like 17 overs
thats almost 1 full day of the test match over 5 days

[Bitman]

GREAT cover drive by MoYo.

[karachiite]

4 by Youhana. Plz dont take risks now!!!!

[nedian21]

beautiful 4 by Yusuf

[Bitman]

maan we lost almost 25 overs today eh? this is not good..
last night we lost like 17 overs
thats almost 1 full day of the test match over 5 days

That is actually good for Pakistan! ;-)

[akpower]

Why was Raza playing like as if it were a one dayer? I thought in the warm up match he played with loads of patience....no need for all those drives, look at MOYO, he had shut down the business long ago

he's still inexperieced, will learn with time. he looked good, but a little unorthodox. i attribute that to anxiety and nerves more then anything else. Bottomline: he has the potential.

[Bilal_Kureshi]

is englabd playing for a draw? why didnt they bowl enough?

[Amjid Javed]

pak 185/4

[Bilal_Kureshi]

lioght offered yet?

[sars_pal]

did u guys see that harmison threathed to throw the ball at moyo and he ra nat him tht was quality

[karachiite]

he's still inexperieced, will learn with time. he looked good, but a little unorthodox. i attribute that to anxiety and nerves more then anything else. Bottomline: he has the potential.

I have backed Sami on the back of that word POTENTIAL. Now im sick of the word.

[Amjid Javed]

drinks been taken. seems like umpires are refusing to offer the light!

[Bilal_Kureshi]

maybe the umpires willingly want another wicket before its dark

[Bitman]

he's still inexperieced, will learn with time. he looked good, but a little unorthodox. i attribute that to anxiety and nerves more then anything else. Bottomline: he has the potential.

He might have potential. As do Nazir, Hameed, Farhat, Kamal, Bazid etc.

The point is that Pakistan have better players. Raza is only playing because 2 key batsmen are unavailable.

[Farah]

They are going off

[Bitman]

Stumps

[karachiite]

light offered

[Bilal_Kureshi]

we are playing agsinst 13 players: egland XI plus two vampires..

[Bitman]

did u guys see that harmison threathed to throw the ball at moyo and he ra nat him tht was quality

What? :20:

[Hash]

185 for 4

A good recovery after being 12 for 2 when we could have capitulated to 130 all out

Inzi still there
Yousuf still there
Kamran still there

These three plus a bit of tail wagging and we need to get another 200 runs or so.

[shan]

well another 27 overs lost and 40 overs in just two days!

[Hash]

What? :20:

Harmisson put his arm in the air as if he was about to throw the ball back at the stumps. The problem was the ball was not in his hand it had gone past him. Yousuf started running but then stopped.

[sars_pal]

What? :20:


Bascially Harmison threathed to throw the ball back at MOYO like he did when he got Inzy out in the last gane, while Harm though about throwing it, Moyo deliberately took a cple stpes out of his crease as if to say come on then!!

[Bitman]

although we were 12/2 but i was sure that Inzi and Yusuf will INSHALLAH bail us out. we r still in a good position although depends on how Inzi is feeling.

[yk]

I think its still 50-50, even stevens. If we lose any early wickets, England will be into our tail. Shoaib and MoYo need to stay there for another good 40-50 runs.

[PapaBear]

Hassan Raza still there in the second innings

[hitmebakjus2chat]

it says on cricinfo inzi gone 4 x-ray
wts the latest on the injury?

[lakha84]

Hassan Raza still there in the second innings

i dont expect any thing from him but i hope that he proves me wronggggggggggggg , cuz i dont know why i want him 2 perform the main reason is he is good but not performing cuz of stress i need 2 perform i need 2 perform...............................

[karachiite]

well another 27 overs lost and 40 overs in just two days!

94 overs bowled in the england innings and 52 bowled in the pak innings plus 2 overs for change of innings. Thats 148 overs out of the 180 that should have been bowled. So 32 overs lost in 2 days. Thats 16 overs a day.

At this rate we will lose 48 more overs in the remaining 3 days plus 7-8 more on friday due to the lunch break being 1/2 an hour longer. 55 more overs in total are being lost.

Over rate at the moment is about 13 per hour at best. According to that we are going to lose 5 hours play more which is about 2.5 sessions.

If England want to win this game they will have to do it in 6.5 sessions which is around 2 days!!!

[MecnunK]

Knife edge..sharp and bright. Hope Inzy is good to bat ,he will need to bat well...again.

surprising thing is that England have over rate of 13.07 and Pakistan 13.24. And is England that want to win tha match badly

[Schiller]

this was a pretty good thread :91:

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

surprising thing is that England have over rate of 13.07 and Pakistan 13.24. And is England that want to win tha match badly

ya that is surprising..and today on skysports they mentioned losts of English emails, complaining about the light issues, as this match is going to be a decider.

first of all, It is pakistan who has probably suffered light issue not england, in the series so far, as we know they were saving the match in faisalabad, not trying to win it.

Second, they should not have taken the light offer yesterday, when they were batting first day. That is exactly what English supporters thought and said on similar grounds, when they were playing against aussies in last ashes.

I saw Shoaib Akhtars interview o ARY and he keeps saying Inzi Bhai this Inzi Bhai that and Team Unity waghera waghera but the main thing he said is that he wants to make a test 50 but his mainrole is to support the seniors and give lots of rest to Inzi Bhai, he said hum namaz kee waja say uited ho gay hain. Is Inzi Bhais Dawa and tableegh working on Shoaib too? I couldnt believe it is Shoaib the used to be playboy talking the way he was using inshallah mashallah frequently.
