Noddy: BW just defelcted a question on declaration on TV !! When Arlott asked , will you declare today - he said "I suspect so" :))

Thanks for the Info Noddy Green.

[Jonty]

hey fellas. Lets get a big lead up!

[Monsee]

Blanket gives up 9 runs in the first over...defensive move IMO to start with him

3 more for MoYo off Harmison, he is in to the 190's I think

Cricinfo is so depressed...they are still showing stumps :))) :)))

[Jonty]

moyo on 196

[Monsee]

Excellent straight on drive by MoYo...196* now

[Jonty]

[Jonty]

scoring quickly these two, good to see, another 4 by kamran

[Monsee]

Akmal with a great cover drive...English bowlers look lifeless

[hatch101]

cricinfo wont even load!...

[Monsee]

Meaningless bouncers all around for no reason...stupid bowling

[smoothcriminal]

this is almost making me feel sorry for england.

[Monsee]

Now they are bowling wide outside off to stop the flow of runs and maybe tempt the batsmen in to giving their wickets away

Pathetic is the word that comes to mind

[Monsee]

MoYo barely survives a run out

[ali kc]

Thats three bouncers in a row ! :12:

[Monsee]

Akmal almost bowled on the last ball

[octavian]

" Plunkutt " as per Waqar is taken off agter only one over

[nedian21]

Thats three bouncers in a row ! :12:


karnay dei yar. tension nahi lenay ka

[Monsee]

Excellent 4 next ball

[ali kc]

So far this session 7 overs 40 runs added

[hatch101]

they're taking risky singles! they shouldnt be taking any risks...they are in a very good position!

[Monsee]

40 runs added in about 30 minutes...great going

[Blistering Barnacle]

Wonder if Inzi will have a chance to bat and make the ten runs needed to reach 8000 runs in test cricket.

[octavian]

weh shud go for a victory here rather than a draw

[octavian]

[mooz]

Waqar saying...

[ali kc]

[nedian21]

Mubarak Inzi bhai. Great achievement. 2nd Pakistani after the great Javed Miandad. Thanks for giving us so many batting pleasures and thanks for carrying Pakistan batting lineup on ur shoulder for yrs. :19:

[Blistering Barnacle]

Wonder if Pak will be able to take 10 wickets again on this pitch. They have time in their favour I guess.

[Sunny G]

Great decision by Rudi to not give Inzi out

Hardly a 'great' decision, any one could see it was not out. It was a fairly easy decision tbh.


The England team will be shaking in their boots now. Udal is getting the ball to turn... They're thinking "If our rubbish spinner is turning it that much.. Kaneria is going to murder us! :6: :6: "

[ali kc]

Akmals 150 comes up!!

Brilliant Innings

[madaboutlfc]

The only Englishman you can feel is not bitter seems to be bumble..

[Monsee]

Akmal 150 up...great knock by the 'Little Engine that could' :19: :14

Delicate late cut by Inzi for 4

[Monsee]

Excellent innings comes to an end

[nedian21]

Kami gone. I think Pakistan should play till lunch or at least 300.

[Monsee]

Rana-Ul-Bradman in now

[Monsee]

Inzi in pain...getting some pain killing spray

[Jonty]

[Jonty]

I said "Ok are you happy Mister Einstein" :P

[ali kc]

Declaration should be 300 or lunch ....whichever comes first

[ali kc]

Rana clears midoff for four

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

265

cool , we should slog our way to 300 & let shoiab and rana do the magic with the bowl now ...

[Monsee]

Rana-ul-Bradman with a good 4 shot

[Jonty]

300 me thinks, possibly get an over or two in before lunch

[Blistering Barnacle]

I wonder if Inzi is considering notching up another hundred.

[hasanahmad]

commentators just said the lunch first session is extended so it ends at 12:30 pakistan time instead of 12, so we have 1 hour 3 minutes to go from now

[Invictus]

This is beautiful cricket. I love my boys for this. It aint over but they are going for the win instead of a draw which would've been easier. I thought it was the poms who always played for the win. Lets see if they bat to win when they come out. I seriously doubt it.

[ali kc]

10 off Flintoffs last over

563-7

[Monsee]

I wonder if Inzi is considering notching up another hundred.



I was thinking that too...will be quite depressing for England though

Inzi will be like a Ghost who will scare them in their nightmares after this series :16: :16:

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

I wonder if Inzi is considering notching up another hundred.

he should be , it'd be gr8 if inzi starts slogging , it'd be like an afridi with a brain ..

[Sunny G]

:))) :))) :))) :)))

Been reading too many English newspapers I see! :))) :)))

[ali kc]

Commentators going on and on about how exhausted Flintoff and the whole unit is....

[pacman]

The commentators are so worried about what the English players should do in the break between this test match and the odi's. :20:

[hasanahmad]

well to be honest harmison and flintoff do look visibly very tired

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

The commentators are so worried about what the English players should do in the break between this test match and the odi's. :20:
eat noodles :P

[Sunny G]

Commentators going on and on about how exhausted Flintoff and the whole unit is....

Maybe if they weren't all so over-rated they wouldn't have to bowl for so long :)))

I think England's big head has been deflated now :))

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

man , inzi needs to hit the 6's ...
thats IT , i m getting bored of them 4's now !!!

[hasanahmad]

[Jonty]

[nedian21]

No boasting yet...they have a good ODI squad


mai tu mazaak kar raha tha yar. Aap tu serious hogiyay Monsee uncle ;-)

[Blistering Barnacle]

Flintoff has bowled more than 35 overs and Harmison 41. They naturally must be very very tired.

[Monsee]

mai tu mazaak kar raha tha yar. Aap tu serious hogiyay Monsee uncle ;-)



Jao maaf kia Nikaay Kaakaay...jao ja ker home work karo school ka :D :P

[MIG]

Flintoff is shattered and needs a rest and should be rested for a long time and on and on ....

Amazing how frsh he looks when he IS taking wickets....is there a limit to their whinging ?

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 578/7

[hasanahmad]

Suhaib Bradman ki sauces to nahin kha liin tumm naay :P

[hasanahmad]

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan should bat for another 30 mins and then declare and have 10 min bowl @ england!

[Jonty]

i feel an akhtar special comin up

[zaf1986]

Can anyone tell me when Pakistan last scored 600 in a test inning

vs SL in 2001 (I think) when Inzi and Ijaz made double centuries in the Asian Test championship.

[GQ]

Wow! Just logged in and glad to see some major "phainti" by the ****'s. England ko zaleel karke maara hai!!!! And, all this without Afridi! Vaughan should think about retiring haha j/k! England World Champions? World Champions ... as Losers!!!!

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

:9: wrong answer! :P

[GQ]

I think they'll declare at 600!

[Amjid Javed]

Should we allow Inzi his hundred ? come on lads, a little heart pls ?

i think we should let rana get his hundred :D

[Amjid Javed]

Huge six by rana. what a shot!

pak 586/7

[Shayan_Sohail]

6 by Rana now

[Amjid Javed]

single for rana. went for big hit again!

[slix10]

[Awesome Anjum]

43 ! how come ?

[Amjid Javed]

single for rana.

pak 594/7

[MIG]

England will bat 15 minutes before lunch - surely that must be the plan?

[pacman]

Isn't it nice to see a test match where you don't notice the umpires. This is how it should be. Although they got a couple of decisions wrong when England were batting. This test match has been better.

Well, Pakistan has just played so well that the umpires had no choice to remain unnoticed. :P

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 596/7

[Amjid Javed]

single for inzi.

pak 597/7

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

anybody remembers the match VS srilanka i think , when inzi , YK ,Wasim akram nad moyo got their 100's in the sam einings ???

[pacman]

England will bat 15 minutes before lunch - surely that must be the plan?

I reckon Inzi looking for another century, and then declare.

[Amjid Javed]

Huge six by inzi! :D

pak 603/7

[Awesome Anjum]

nice gaulf swing says ramiz

[Blistering Barnacle]

At this stage, Pakistan really is just batting for Inzi's century. They lead by 300+, which is enough to have a crack at their batsmen. If Inzi wants his century, I hope he brings it up in the next 2 overs.

[Amjid Javed]

single for inzi.

pak 604/7 afta being 68/3 :O

[Amjid Javed]

england begging for wickets now!

[Awesome Anjum]

Excessive over appealling from England.

Also they are slowing it down.

Wonder if they get fined ?

[Jonty]

its ok.. just get a couple of overs in before lunch

[Amjid Javed]

single for rana.

inzi 86 off just 92 balls!

[Jonty]

great decisions or correct decisions?

[immubhai]

Inzi Rana in a real slaughtering mood........Inzi the RIPPER

[Amjid Javed]

harmison still bowling bouncers lol!

[ali kc]

Inzi man of the series .. NO DOUBT!

[Jonty]

imagine afridi at this stage, license to kill

[MIG]

I would hereby wish to shoot the head of ARY!!! They keep ontaking ad breaks in the middle of overs and leave the screen as is on drinks break!!!

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

inzi 93* (996 runs in calender year now)

[Amjid Javed]

:D go inzi go!

[Amjid Javed]

inzi chasing his 3rd straight ton here!

[Amir_rulez]

Haven't heard Botham today.. have we.

[Amjid Javed]

inzi chasing his 3rd straight ton here!

[Blistering Barnacle]

Looks like we also might have to wait for Rana's 50.

[ali kc]

Now Naved approaching his 50

[Monsee]

Haven't heard Botham today.. have we.



Botham has gone to his Mother-in-Law to get some consolation :D :)))

[ali kc]

Pakistan lead by 337 runs

[Monsee]

Now we must wait for Rana Bradman's century...60 more to go :D

[Amjid Javed]

inzi onto 95 now!

[Amir_rulez]

Vaughn trying to waste time now.

[Blistering Barnacle]

The way our own tailenders have played, I'm wondering if Pak will be able to bowl England out.

[Amjid Javed]

4 byes now!

pak 632/7

[GQ]

Overheard in the dressing room, Sami and Kaneria want to improve their batting records as well. Ab kiya hoga? :)

[Amjid Javed]

[Jonty]

[GQ]

Overheard during the drinks break:

Rana: Inzi Bhai, meri bhi 50 honay dein, please.

Inzi: Dekhaingay.

Rana: Inzi Bhai please na.

Inzi: Koi nahee, tu pehla over kara lena.

Rana: Aik shart pe: Main pehla one-day bhi kheloon ga!

[Amjid Javed]

damn! inzi stupidly runs himself out!

[Awesome Anjum]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan 636/8 dec!

[MIG]

:(

Poor Inzi - but what a player!

[GQ]

Well played Inzi! Its OK. Part of the game!

Lets watch England bat now. Should we employ negative tactics as well? Knowing Pakistan, I don't think they will and Inshallah, they won't have to!

[Monsee]

Bad luck Inzi :(

[Jonty]

unlucky, still class.. lets bowl and finish the job

[ali kc]

Overheard during the drinks break:

Rana: Inzi Bhai, meri bhi 50 honay dein, please.

Inzi: Dekhaingay.

Rana: Inzi Bhai please na.

Inzi: Koi nahee, tu pehla over kara lena.

Rana: Aik shart pe: Main pehla one-day bhi kheloon ga!


GOOD STUFF GQ! :)))

[Amjid Javed]

oh well just enuf time for akthar to rip trescos middle stump out again!

[ali kc]

Is it lunch?

[MIG]

1 over before lunch for England to face...

[asifp]

selfish on Inzi's part there, he shoujld have let Rana get his 50 , he looked so upset on his own mistake , but hopefully we will now

[Shayan_Sohail]

Damn, inzi didnt get his century,

Kinda ruins the last 15 minutes that could have been used to put more pressure on England by putting them in to bat for 30 minutes or so.

[pacman]

Bad luck for Inzi. But Vaughn might be cursing himself for that runout,... now he has to face a couple of overs before lunch :D

[GQ]

Now English commentators will just pick on one thing: Inzamam delayed it too much because of personal reasons. WHO CARES MAN? Get over it and talk about England's batting you geniuses :P
