Official Pakistan vs India 1st test - Day 3 thread [15/1/06]

[Mercenary]

Will India avoid the follow on?

Will the weather play spoilsport?

Will the Pakistani bowling make another flat track look like Perth again??

Only one way to find out :D

[peridot]

The forecast is cloudy weather.....the visibilty at this very moment 7:30 am is quite poor.

[peridot]

Sun wont come out.....pak should make use of the conditions.

[nafajafam]

Seems like we will lose many more overs today to the weather.

sure u can be rest assured for some cav special comments...enoy the party hope its a gud one!!!!

[DotCom]

"smoke" is a good way to describe the Karachi weather .. I thought in Lahore the atmoshphere was much cleaner ..

if its cloudy .. that will help Shoaib/Rana/Sami do some tricks .. Inshallah it will .. and we can pull a victory out of our back pockets !

[cavin420]

we in india just had a good laugh at inzi wen he said they r goin to prepare 'aussie style' wicket....who was he trying to fool??..only pakistanis seam to have bought it!

We have no problems with the pitch..cos we know there can be only 2 results here a draw or an indian win..instead of a 3-0 we will probabaly win 2-0 or 1-0....so start praying that pak don loose a single toss in this series! (by an indian fan from day 2 thread)..........




btw who do they think they are still playing zimbabwe or srilanka?????????

[Easa]

I have a school holiday today. Sheikh Jaber has passed away. Inna Ilayhi Wa Inaa Ilahi Rajoon.

[cavin420]

umpires inspection at 10.30 pak time....so after half an hour will tell u more details!!!!

[waquas_uk]

i thought it was at 10

[peridot]

wo!!!....calm down cav.

I was very disappointed to know that play had been called off.....not anymore. A light drizzle means there will be something in the pitch for the bowlers.

[MecnunK]

well I am wondering if I should make my way downstairs yet, brew a coffee and join my father...is play likely soon?

[cavin420]

yes mr.anand vasu is quite tricky
what do u expect.....they might get what they are wishing for..no more cricket for the day....imran already fears that!!!!!

[octavian]

[MIG]

Can anyone tell me what the experts are saying about the bowling conditions when plays starts ? Could this be good news for Pak bowlers as in English bowling conditions - favourable for swing etc ?

[RunInzyRun]

Good news:

05:00 GMT: Good news from Gaddafi Stadium Lahore is, rain has stopped and light is getting better, umpires says play will start at 10:30 local time

[waquas_uk]

r ary uk stil showing highlights?

[cavin420]

Can anyone tell me what the experts are saying about the bowling conditions when plays starts ? Could this be good news for Pak bowlers as in English bowling conditions - favourable for swing etc ?
we would have to wait for that since they are showing the highlights still..when they go back to the studios imran n nasser would be in a better position to comment on that..but i reckon it should help the bowlers since conditions are very much alike to england...

[inzidabest]

rain rain go away.

[RunInzyRun]

While we wait.....AUSTRALIA - 99/6!

[Gooner]

r ary uk stil showing highlights?
They are showing the first days play right now!

[cavin420]

r ary uk stil showing highlights?
yes thats correct!!! so i wouldnt trust any website for now..........

[cavin420]

While we wait.....AUSTRALIA - 99/6!
i know its nor relevent but i reckon mike hussey is an improved version of beven....he plays beautifully in all conditions n situations...n i wont be surprized if he stays till the end even today!

[RunInzyRun]

Over here, they just showed the pitch with most of the covers off...the light looked better.

[cavin420]

rain rain go away.
it has..it was the bad light when they were last in lhr but as im hearing even the skies clearing up.........so fingers crossed n hopefully i will be able to bring u some gud news preety soon !!

[jusarrived]

i just chkd hussey avgs 158 n odi n 80 n tes...not many ppl hav had such starts to intl career

[cavin420]

i dont know what ary are doing showing day 1 highlights i would much prefer them talking to imran khan n nasser hussain then show highlights...

[DotCom]

wet outfield maybe ? ball will not spin / but pacers need to use the conditions !

[cavin420]

i just chkd hussey avgs 158 n odi n 80 n tes...not many ppl hav had such starts to intl career
so we finally agree on something ? is that what ur saying? or did u check coz u didnt blv me when i said improved version of beven?;)

[waquas_uk]

let me know when they finishe showsing highlights so i can go down then

[RunInzyRun]

Support on the same theory from Cricinfo:
[UPDATE: 0505 GMT/1035 IST/1005PST]: We have some good news.
There's a strong chance that play will start in about 25 minutes
at 1030 Paksistan time, 1035 IST. We will keep a close eye on
proceedings and be back then.

[waquas_uk]

thats about 10 mins from now

[cavin420]

wet outfield maybe ? ball will not spin / but pacers need to use the conditions !
fortunatly we have 3 pacers.......so they can keep on going till lunch.....and after lunch the outfeild will dry out more inshAllah then the spinners can come in.......

[cavin420]

DOLA RAAY DOLLA

[cavin420]

imran says u will find that the bowl will swing more the atmosphere is heavy the moistures around.............but looking at the pitch no grass no green so......means this pitch is not going to detoriate..........lil hope for pakistan conditions stay the same lil grass might grow......

[cavin420]

nasser says and hope for the spinners as well since india have 3 left handers n their is some ruff to help the spinners esp at leftys............btw how many of u are actually following n relying on my commentery if u dont mind me asking???

[cavin420]

rana bowling to sehwag.....gud news peeps..lets see what happens let the battle commence

[DotCom]

how will little grass grow ? just because of the moisture .. grass cant grow that fast .. that it will change the wicket ? I can see after a week maybe ?lol

but the air/swing will be the ALLY ..

and the rough patches for the perfect spinners' delivery

[pacman]

Here we go. Rana to Sehwag. Starts off with a single.

Mike Holding and Rameez on commentry. Mikey and his lovely deep voice..sigh

444444 punched midon!!! sehwag end of the over

[Raz]

Sehwag gets a 4 through mid on, overpitched delivery punished.

[rayhan]

[cavin420]

Mike Holding and Rameez on commentry. Mikey and his lovely deep voice..sigh

Rameez saying Rana is not an "express bowler, he is a medium pace"? What's Rameez on about?

but on the money....still carrying on with a short run up!

[RunInzyRun]

Shoaib Akthar bowling

[rayhan]

Morn' Cav

Akhtar on bowling....generating some pace here. Dravid blocking well. Dravid seems to have excellent temprement even as an opener. *shocking*

[inzidabest]

Rana looking average. Can shoab akhtar do anything?

[Raz]

Single to mid on, brings Sehwag on strike

[cavin420]

goes back to his full run up now to sehwag!!!

[cavin420]

whacked 4 !! over the slips

[Raz]

Uppercut for 4 to the point boundary.

[zushy_786]

13.6 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, FOUR, leg-stump half-volley and that is
like serving an aloo parantha to Sehwag early in the morning,
polished off in some style through midwicket

:))) :)))

[rayhan]

Shoaib getting spanked for a 4 down 3rd man.

Brekkie time for me...see you lot in a bit.

[cavin420]

[RunInzyRun]

Shoaib to dravid
Dravid: No run
Dravid: No run
Dravid: one run
Sehwag: Sehwag smashes it, four runs, Akmal screams catch it!
Sehwag: ducks, short ball
Sehwag: ducks again
End of over, 76 for no loss.

[inzidabest]

yups get sami on. wicket is what Pakistan need. India will look to play natural

[RunInzyRun]

Me too, going to get some shut eye so I can be up and ready for the real excitment instead of watching Sehwag and Dravid defend...

[Oxy]

OK. I'll take over.

Someone comes into bowl. And someone blocks. No run

[Raz]

Leg stump delivery hit for 4 by Dravid.

[inzidabest]

Indian batsmen hammering the bowlers

[Raz]

84-0

[Usman Chadda]

Lacklusture bowling by Rana and Shoaib so far! Rana bowling leg-side and being continuously punished. Akhtar bowling off a short run-up :20:

Good start by India - 84/0

[Oxy]

How long before we get cries of 'Rana is crap'...or 'Shoaib is taking the ****' etc.

670 odd in the bank...I'm off to sleep!

I have no idea why I stayed up so late knowing I wasnt watching the game!!!

[kablooee87]

Too many short balls from Shoaib. He needs to bowl a full deliver once in a while.

[Raz]

90.6mph from Shoaib.

[cavin420]

finally some steam put in by akhtar.....hes not very happy with the footmarks for some reason i reckon thats playing on his mind.............but is generating some pace now he comes in bowls to sehwag n : a no ball but 90+ again

[cavin420]

aa almost a catch btw the gap through the slips

[Raz]

Cut for 4 by Sehwag

[cavin420]

i can see a slower ball coming up soon by pindi express

[cavin420]

bang 4........with tha t50 to sehwag

[Raz]

How long before we get cries of 'Rana is crap'...or 'Shoaib is taking the ****' etc.

670 odd in the bank...I'm off to sleep!

I have no idea why I stayed up so late knowing I wasnt watching the game!!!

[inzidabest]

Sehwag is the wicket Pakistan need. rest will follow

[Oxy]

NEVER...saalay chor!

[inzidabest]

Inzy continuin with Naved

[deadly_man]

So where are those people who were saying that wicket will become bowler friendly as soon as pak wi;ll start bowling.
pak fast bowler got more stick than indian fast bowler in initial overs.
Isnt it funny grewat **** fast bowler are going @5 r un per over in test match
and people were making mimicry of pathan and agarkar who are medium swing bowler and bowling on seamless condition astill they were bowling more tight .

[cavin420]

if rana keeps on bowling like this dravids going to be more then happy all day long just blocking !!bring sami on ...atleast hes unpridictable

[inzidabest]

to be honest run rate doesnt matter since they are attacking.+ the batters are playing well.so far but cricket is a funny game u never know......!!!thats what makes it intresting

[cavin420]

pindi comes in ooooooo almost a catch....shot leg was intrested..but just towards the right behind square we need more feilders close in!!!

[deadly_man]

Relax man we will talk at the end of day.let 90 overs happen.Kaneria has still not come to bowl. Nor has Malik
I was talking abt greattttttttttttt fast bowlers which pak have.
kaneria and afridi are not in those category.

[Usman Chadda]

Pathetic bowling by Shoaib. Has he lost his confidence again? Is he becoming his cocky self once again?

[cavin420]

after the delivery pindi gives the assasin smile to sehwag.......dravid takes a single brings sehwag back to strike

[peridot]

can someone please post the updated score every now and then

[cavin420]

oooooooooo another ball had the feilders intrested....pindi bowling well now...sehwag lucky on 2 occasions nowww troubling him clearly

[cavin420]

97 now india pindi comes in another bouncer this time a no ball dravid ducks

[Raz]

98-0 the score.

[Raz]

Pathetic bowling by Shoaib. Has he lost his confidence again? Is he becoming his cocky self once again?

What are you talking about hes bowling well.

[Raz]

99-0 the score

[inzidabest]

It is poor bowling.Runs have to be restricted. Wickets will come . the score is huge.but still this going like Bangalore.Just very very similar to Bangalore. Pakistan need 5 - 6 wickets in the day

[Usman Chadda]

If this type of batting continues, India will surely make 500+.

[cavin420]

single taken by dravid brings sehwag back to strike.....pindi comes in bowls n: played it earlyy has him in a spot of bother clearly

[kablooee87]

You have to admit the wicket looks to have a bit more life than before. I don't deny that this is a flat wicket. But it's not a score close to 700 runs in 4.5 sessions type of wicket. The Indian bolwing attack is lacking to say the least. Any success they have had is due to Pakistani batsmen making poor decisions.

As for you saying indians bowled tighter, well think of the openers we sent and the manner in which they were batting. Sewag is the one who is ballooning the run rate and that's because he plays in that manner.

[cavin420]

pindi comes in bowls......and they pinch a single with that india exactly 100

[Raz]

100-0

[inzidabest]

Pakistan should atleast make India work hard for runs. what is Inzy upto? Any bowling changes expected?

[Oxy]

Morning Ritchi, morning everyone.

Still a fast outfield!

[deadly_man]

india 100/0 in 19 pover
are the playing oneday maqtrch against Bangladeshi bowlers????

[inzidabest]

single taken by dravid brings sehwag back to strike.....pindi comes in bowls n: played it earlyy has him in a spot of bother clearly

doesnt matter dude. Wicket is what Pakistan needed. Now evrey Indian batsmen will walk out confidently

[Usman Chadda]

What are you talking about hes bowling well.

Oh yeah, getting spanked by Sehwag through the off-side three times is good, then what is bad I cant think!

P.S. As I say this, Sehwag punches Rana through the covers for four. Sehwag really enjoys tearing us apart! Will not be surprised to see him on 100 in no time.

We just need one opening - hold on - still too early to say.

[cavin420]

that was in 35 overs . This 104 is in 20 overs!!

[Oxy]

Was Dean JOnes tickling Arun Lal during the over break?

[Oxy]

Its 2 years since Ive heard Dean Jones commentate-and he is the best ex-player doing the job.

A great batsman-and a fine commentator.....who has to work with Arun's Lal

[cavin420]

pindi comes in...to dravid nnnnnnnnnnnnn : a slower ball well playeddd b dravid like he was expecting it

[pacman]

Beautifull slower ball from Shoaib. Was setting Dravid up there.

[inzidabest]

It was crucial for Pak to build pressure by early wicket. very very important

[pacman]

Good over from Shoaib.

[Usman Chadda]

Dravid picking up Shoaib's slower ball easily....

[cavin420]

fast bouncer dravid ducks underneath it.....come on peeps we need to be more positive here !!!! we know runs would come esp if sehwag stays........

[Oxy]

What is the point of Shaoib boiling the slow one? I mean, Sehwag faces that bowling in the nets from Pathan, Zaheer and Agarakar everyday :D

[octavian]

maiden from shobby great over

[cavin420]

awwwwwwwwww in the air again once bounce ...oo through 4.daniiiiiiiiiii :(((

[pacman]

Fortune for Sehwag, hit it in the air just away from the fielder, and gets 4 runs for the effort.

[Usman Chadda]

Kaneria needs a kick up his butt to improve his pathetic fielding :12: Wow! Sehwag late cuts for four through the slips. Another boundary...Rana being torn apart here :O

[octavian]

oohhhhh that was close

[Oxy]

Luck with Sehwag....could have been out!

Arun says 'Good hit' :20:

[cavin420]

[cavin420]

[Raz]

2 balls 2 fours for Sehwag

[octavian]

this hsud be Ranas last over

[pacman]

Sehwag is amazing. No matter what his form, he will be devastating against Pakistan.

[offstump]

maybe they should bring in sami, he bowls low and skiddy which might be useful on this pitch, rana isnt doing anything

[peridot]

score??

[Oxy]

Does Sehwag still think he s batting at Multan???

[cavin420]

3 bounderies so far in the over still one ball remains......he comes in n bowls nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ducked under once again finall yend of the over pheww!

[offstump]

sehwag has 73 runs, and 15 boundaries!

[Usman Chadda]

116/0.

[octavian]

crwod trying to get the bowlers going..

[pacman]

Rana will probably be out of the attack now.

[Oxy]

I thought this game was live on terrestrial TV in Pak? 116-0

[inzidabest]

Rana hit for 3 fours

[cavin420]

india 116 now

[pacman]

Danish into the attack.

[cavin420]

dani comes into the attack now lets see what he can do!

[Raz]

Kaneria on now.

[Usman Chadda]

Nani Dani on to bowl. Lets see what he can do now...

[octavian]

the middle one was the best ;-)

[Oxy]

Harbhajan turned it from ball1 day 1 (although that counted for Jack v Afrid yesterday!)

[deadly_man]

O M R W Econ
Naved-ul-Hasan (RMF) 9 0 54 0 6.00

WHat will INdian do in one day to him??if they get such kind of wicket

[peridot]

yeah but right now where I am, I have no access to tv......missed the last two days. Hopefully will be back in karachi by the second test to watch it on tv

[Oxy]

the middle one was the best ;-)

I dunno-all 3 stumps look the same to me.

[Raz]

"And sometimes ive seen people misread Danish Kaneria"- Arun Lal.

Where have you been living? In a cave? England couldnt pick his googly at all!!!!!

[octavian]

not talking about the stumps oxy, ar eu watching the game

[slix10]

116/0

[cavin420]

Harbhajan turned it from ball1 day 1 (although that counted for Jack v Afrid yesterday!)
:))):))):)))

dani comes in blows ...geting some bounce n turn...not bad signs takes a single sehwag india 119 now

[Bailan]

this is starting to hurt ....

[Usman Chadda]

Signs of shoulders dropping :45:

[CoolArsh]

Danish bowling well. Hopefully get one of them out soon

[Oxy]

not talking about the stumps oxy, ar eu watching the game

I know damn well what you meant... ;-)

[deadly_man]

I think inzi shud give bowl to Malik from the end wehre there is some foor mark of bowler.
kaneria is usually not very good in 1st inning.

[octavian]

I know damn well what you meant... ;-)

ooh ok.. i thought u " misread" that one from me :91:

[cavin420]

O M R W Econ
Naved-ul-Hasan (RMF) 9 0 54 0 6.00

WHat will INdian do in one day to him??if they get such kind of wicket
are u by any chance supporting india?

[Oxy]

Sehwag leaves a huge gap between bat and ball....we never sussed him 2 yrs ago...but then has any side in tests?

[CoolArsh]

Well there might not be a second inning. So Kaneria has only one inning to do something

[cavin420]

sami comes into the attack and wo nearly found the edge of the bat gud start sami boy right on the money shabash!

[Usman Chadda]

Sami produces a good delivery!

[Oxy]

Maybe Sami could be the man to do it?

[Oxy]

...maybe not

[cavin420]

next ball does the same bang 4 runs this time he connects...seems like sehwags eying a big one here peeps.......india 125 now

[slix10]

NICE sami.

[Usman Chadda]

Sami definitely has no brains!

[peridot]

I hope sami does it.....this is the time he needs to perform

[cavin420]

oo didnt carry to slip ..inzi lets it go to the boundary..but things are surely happening now peeps

[Oxy]

When is the last time 3 players score a test hundred in under 80 odd balls in a test match?

[Usman Chadda]

Sehwag is going to get a 200 I bet! Our bowlers become total blockheads when Sehwag comes infront of him.

[cavin420]

and again mised the edge ..ball through to the keeper
