[Easa]

So how many wickets will India lose on Day 5?

Will Sehwag score another triple hundred?

Will India need to bat again?

Post all commentary and updates here. Mods please make this a sticky. :D

[Oxy]

May I remind ALL participants of the 'commentary thread' to have a quick read of this 'gentle reminder' before embarking on the nail-biting climax (aka Day 5)

Very thoughtful of you to post that gentle reminder. I thank you for your pro-active gesture. And honestly, we were having a lot of fun dueling (verbal) with Big Mac, Najaf etc. But as you know, it takes only one moron to spoil it for everybody...!

[omf52]

do you guys think there is any chance of play today? at least one or two sessions?

[mulan]

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to see absolutely NOTHING happening today.

As far as a contest was concerned, this match was dead from day 1. No winners or losers. Just a lot of new records being set.

Good for the individual, not good for the game.

i agreee ..whats a game of cricket btw 2 old rivals without a bit of banter ehh?? as long as no lines crossed obviously.......keeps us all going n makes the game more intresting!

[Nauman]

I am surprised this thread got even 10 posts for the day, considering what a pathetic boring test match this is.

[Pathan007]

ok no play today. all of u go to sleep. no more records. Sehwag is crying rite now and the ground has been flooded :D

[Pathan007]

I am surprised this thread got even 10 posts for the day, considering what a pathetic boring test match this is.and yours is the 11th one :))

Mashallah se, Pakistan needs water more then boring test cricket.

[cavin420]

ok no play today. all of u go to sleep. no more records. Sehwag is crying rite now and the ground has been flooded :D
it would be intresting if there was no play for the day......both sehwag n dravid would be kicking themselves esp after getting so close to the 50 yr record.......they would certainly make history in the yrz to come esp on cric info (on stevens articles he would write *so close yet so far :))):))) .........but coming back to reality they fully deserve it if they get a chance to go out n bat.....

Match to start in 1hr15mins according to dishnetwork

[Pathan007]

biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig raining :D

[badxhah]

wats so good abt rain .. i wana see shewag bat jus check his stats for this inning he hit one six all other s have been 4 all ground shots ..

Plsu i think Pak try to get him out rather than fustrate him ( which is not easliy done)

[Juggy D]

Has it started raining again?

[Pathan007]

the groundmen said that they don't have tools to dry out the outfield. so it would be better to take day 5off :D.but Sehwag said no way i'm gonna roll myself in the ground to dry it out. i want 500. :P

[Juggy D]

[UPDATE 1155 India time/ 1125 Pakistan time]; There is a strong chance that play will begin in a little over an hour. That is at 1245 Pakistan time/1315 India time. Till then, there's not much to report from Lahore

Sehwag is as good as it gets for a neutral. :14: I hope India gets to bat atleast 30overs.

[Nauman]

Its 13:30 right now but still no sign of match though we can safely assume that Sehwag wont be getting his record now because even if they do come on now it will be quite dark in an hours and a half's time.

[badxhah]

:))) :13: Thanks, am sick of this m@sturbation music on dishnet !!

No idea, but definitely not Irish or Scottish. Too strong to be coming out of a girls mouth. Isn't Cockney supposed to be proper English? Do the different accents differ from area?

404-0... Not that the score matters anymore

[Jonty]

[Raz]

Rana Naved to bowl from the other end.

[nafajafam]

Floodlight are blaring at the moment. More like a day/nighter

[nafajafam]

Rana straying down the legs, 2 runs and 250 for Sehwag.. A good knock indeed

[Raz]

Poor ball first up down the leg from Rana and 2 easy runs that brings up Sehwag's 250. Smashed for 4 through the covers next ball.

[Jonty]

i cant understand why they would host a series at this time of the year...

[nafajafam]

Smashes it through cover for another 4.

[Raz]

2 plays and misses from Sehwag trying an uppercut.

[Raz]

Sehwag gone, again an uppercut tried and this time caught behind. no record for India!!!!!

Thanks Farah, I have heard the song before, however the translation is just mind blowing. :))

[omf52]

im not making excuses for him, i just said that it was the obvious reason as to why he got out. congrats to rana for repeating the bouncer again to get him out. be happy then i dont really care.. im jus referring to "where have the indians gone now".. that guy was obviously happy about getting a cheap wicket.. smile then

[kashmiri]

yippie ka yay

just checked it out

76.5 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, OUT: and gone! Third time lucky for Rana
Naved-ul-Hasan, another short one, Sehwag goes for the slash over
slips and edges straight to Kamran Akmal behind the stumps!

the kashmiri does not need to do the rain dance

[Fessal]

Sehwag deserves all the praise but Pak and India's score at the around 410 was just the difference of one wicket. There's no reason why we couldnt have got them all out now for around 650..lol

I agree with you bhai, but this is not place to start a discussion on this topic.
Lets' just concentrate on the cricket. ;-)

[Baron]

In Inzis words, Thanks to Almighty God Allah........for getting Sehwag out. The guy was seriously giving me brain damage. Though its funny, whenever he opens his gob, he always seems to screw up. ACtually the same can be said of Akthar too. The only guys who really back there words are Mcgrath and Warne. But then again, they are 2 bowling legends......

[stb]

it s only a game of cricket....

[Nauman]

dont be so proud of getting a wicket. he obviously had trouble connecting properly because of the light..even your keeper had trouble seeing the ball..
I am not proud of the wicket but I am proud of the busted ego of Rahul Dravid and Sehwag, he had the option to take the light but didnt when got out two balls later Dravid couldnt sight the ball all of a sudden.

[zaf1986]

I am not proud of the wicket but I am proud of the busted ego of Rahul Dravid and Sehwag, he had the option to take the light but didnt when got out two balls later Dravid couldnt sight the ball all of a sudden.

Exactly. Just shows they came out for the record in bad light and then went of because they couldn't get it.

[Imran_The Man!]

Well, that short period of play was worth it, just to get that wicket if nothing else :D

[omf52]

I am not proud of the wicket but I am proud of the busted ego of Rahul Dravid and Sehwag, he had the option to take the light but didnt when got out two balls later Dravid couldnt sight the ball all of a sudden.

so your saying you would go off 3 runs away from a world record?

[zaf1986]

so your saying you would go off 3 runs away from a world record?
But if you got on you stay on... you get 11 men onto the field and then go off aftyer 2.2 overs thats ********..

[Nauman]

so your saying you would go off 3 runs away from a world record?
The point is that if the light was good enough to score those three runs then it should be good enough for other batsmen too.

[omf52]

But if you got on you stay on... you get 11 men onto the field and then go off aftyer 2.2 overs thats ********..

the only reason they went on is for the world record

and what if they stayed? you think you might have got 19 more wickets?

[zaf1986]

the only reason they went on is for the world record

and what if they stayed? you think you might have got 19 more wickets?

Nope.

But as Nauman says, if the light was good enough for the world record, it was good enough for batting.

Indians just proving to be selfish boring batsmen that they are.

[Hamayoun]

They didnt get the record - thats enough for me

[Somali Pirate]

the morons do not deserve the world record.glad it was broken.

[omf52]

Nope.

But as Nauman says, if the light was good enough for the world record, it was good enough for batting.

Indians just proving to be selfish boring batsmen that they are.

so pakistani batsmen arent boring or selfish at all?

because they declared on time didnt they

before akmal and afridi's pointless centuries?

[Fessal]

Match drawn

[Baron]

Oh well plays been called off, thank god, it was getting rediculous. Well i suppose the positives would be that the Pak bowlers are fairly fresh as they only bowled about 10-17 bowlers each and the Pak batsman got the advantage of getting valuable batting practice. It seems that most of our batters are on form but hope to see our bowlers bounce back after the Sehwag mauling.

India has positives too in that they seem to have sorted there opening problems with Dravid being introduced, batting beautifully. Also Sehwag looks in hot form. However, there bowlers took a much extended mauling from our boys and in particular Agarkar and Harbi, getting the Afridi treatment.

[Baron]

so pakistani batsmen arent boring or selfish at all?

because they declared on time didnt they

before akmal and afridi's pointless centuries?


No they werent selfish you mindless wonder. Afridi and Kami got there 100s in 80 balls and tried to get it as quick as possible. They achieved the 670 in quick time and as far as im concerned, you need to score big against a fine Indian batting lineup. Unless of course you think the Indian batting lineup is crap? :13:

[waquas_uk]

I am not proud of the wicket but I am proud of the busted ego of Rahul Dravid and Sehwag, he had the option to take the light but didnt when got out two balls later Dravid couldnt sight the ball all of a sudden.

AHHHHH Indians, we had 4 centurians in that match, u had only 2, plus u cudn't even match over total, even though u batted on it for 3 days!!!!...MORAL VICTORY FOR PAKISTAN!!!!

Look at ya now Indians, Look at ya!!!!

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

Oh well plays been called off, thank god, it was getting rediculous. Well i suppose the positives would be that the Pak bowlers are fairly fresh as they only bowled about 10-17 bowlers each and the Pak batsman got the advantage of getting valuable batting practice. It seems that most of our batters are on form but hope to see our bowlers bounce back after the Sehwag mauling.

India has positives too in that they seem to have sorted there opening problems with Dravid being introduced, batting beautifully. Also Sehwag looks in hot form. However, there bowlers took a much extended mauling from our boys and in particular Agarkar and Harbi, getting the Afridi treatment.


I think that is very intelligent point made here....

which is why their record as a TEAM is nothing much to write about

Talk about clutching at straws.

The next match is a new start and hopefully a wicket better then this.

I really hope it's the famous greentop

Rather watch Afridi than Sehwag any day OMF

Match Drawn.

The batting line ups of both sides are so very strong. It's going to have to be a real turner or a very green wicket to produce a result in this series.

I think good ol' Nasser also mentioned this on Straight Drive.

[PapaBear]

India couldnt save follow on and lost by 159 Runs as far as I am concerned.
How pathetic it was to prepare ground, waste everyones time and play in darkness just for a stupid record. :))) :))) :)))
It was lovely to see smile back on Pakistani faces.

Guess who had the last laugh! :14: :14: :)) :)) :))) :)))

[PapaBear]

Correction, they were still 259 runs behind and it took them 3 days, Pakistan made it in 5 sessions :))) :)) :))) :)) :27: :))) :)))

I was so happy to see the worried look on Laxman's face, Like he is saying What the hell I am doing here.
Thanks to Sehwag no Indian batsmen got any batting practice! All Pakistani batsmen got to hammer Indian mediocre bowling! :))) :))) :))) :)))

[PapaBear]

What if Sehwag gets out on the first ball in next match??? The others have to start a freash! Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!! :)) :)) :))

[Asim2Good]

just read on BBC that Indians only accepted light today coz they were just 10 runs behind of world record :21: :21: :21:

[Tupac]

LOL...so you guys getting pumped over Sehwag's 250? nice..but look at just how many runs he made before jumping too much...one would think he got out first ball for a duck!

we head to Faisalabad all even now, our bowlers took a royal beating, your bowlers were executed, and all the batsmen are happy.

[Oxy]

...who won?

[PapaBear]

That is disgusting! Playing just for the sake of record and when Dravid saw how Laxman was playing Shoaib he went to the Umpire with tail between his legs and said!
Get me outa here!!! 6:))) :))) :))) :)))

[PapaBear]

...who won?
669 in 5 sessions vs 410 in 7 sessions. Guess who won!

This test has left India with too much confusion. So they are the losers. Who should open now? They were hoping Gangu will get a low score and they will drop him. Instead he got an award for catch of the match which Greg Chappel didnt admire very much. When Gangu was celebbrating Greg couldnt keep his emotions and scoffed at his childishness and the fact that catch was almost messed up and it was at the last moment that it got stuck in Gangus hand. I tell this ganu guy is so cheap when he celebrates!

Will they open with Dravid again? If yes it would be a huge gain for Pakistan because the next man in has had no match practice except fielding for two days and Gangu cant face rising deliveries.
Pakistan will be quite happy to watch this drama and giggle about it. :))) :))) :)))

All the boatsmen are not happy. We are happy Sehwag didnt allow anyone else to bat, he was playing for records and for himself unlike Pakistan players who got out while thrashing Indian Bowling and let the others taste the juicy Indian Bowling.
Imagine Laxman and Yuvraj and Gangu and Tendu facing New Shoaib Akhtar on Faisalabad green top (I heard they have been asked to leave the grass) :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O

I just cant wait for Faisalaabad!4

[Uzzy]

PapaBear Pakistan got 679 in 5 sessions not 669.

[Oxy]

If it was a boxing match, you could argue that India won by a 'split decision'

[Aurangzeb]

why are we so confident that faisalabad will have a green top?

[PapaBear]

why are we so confident that faisalabad will have a green top?
This is what Imran Khan strongly recommended to the PCB in Straight Drive today that whatever grass is there will be left and also suggested that there will be an underprepared pitch at Faisalabad. He felt that after all the criticism in press they cant produce another dead pitch at Faisalabad.
Bowlers will have a good time, specially those who bowl above 80 MPH. :14: :14: :14:

[kashmiri]

sehwag says on bbc

He said the light was "not good at all" but he still managed to hit one crisp boundary off Rana Naved-ul-Hasan before edging behind.

i guess akmal was standing behind with a torch, that is how he managed to catch the ball


i think it was wisest for the indians to go for light, what could have happened is a collapse which they would have blamed on the light, and that would have demoralised the indians to some extent.

but the bottom line is who was laughing end of the 5the day.

arre hindustaniyon, aur ao record todne, baday aaye the, ham yeh kareinge aur woh kareinge, bunch of bu****it

[Indian]

Kashmiri, the India ended up on was 410/1 off 77.2 overs. Not 50 all out.

Hum ne yeh kiya(400+ opening stand) aur hum ne woh kiya(5.3 kickass RPO, 3rd highest ever in test cricket, top 2 against BD) aur hopefully 2nd and 3rd test main aur karenge.

[kashmiri]

aur tum logon ne kashmir per illegally kabza kiya he

aur tum logon ne united nations resolutions ignore kiye he

aur tum logon ne kashmir pe terror felaya he

i guess you are proud of that
you killed over a 100,000 kashmiris in 15 years, i guess you are proud of taht statistic too.

do a search on jaleel andrabi, human rights activist murdred by your rashtriay rifles

i guess you are proud of that

i guess you are also proud of all the illegal and immoral activities you perpetrated on kashmiris
