Pakistan V India | 2nd Test Faisalabad | Official Day 2 Thread [22/1/06]

[nafajafam]

Danish bowling on the right spot

[inzidabest]

try both shoabs in tandem

[kashyapdkuri]

3 might happen today only
comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

[Rob H]

Laxman and Dravid looking solid.

[chuck]

dani will be good after day 3 ... till then it's boring stuff

[cavin420]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy ;-) the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer :D

[nafajafam]

84-1. Good over there by Dani.

[Amjid Javed]

Laxman and Dravid looking solid.

They are two of best players of spin in world game.

kaneria just needs to show patience here and not experiment to much.

[luvthegame]

Dani is hitting right line/length. One good ball will do the damage.

[inzidabest]

comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

That does not mean 2 wickets only on the third day. And there are 18 overs remaining today. wait and watch.

[kashyapdkuri]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy ;-) the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer :D
Wonder why YK is moving on with AR for more time than usual ... this is a long spell ...

[cavin420]

pak batters should learn from how dravid n laxman duck under the bouncers how they keep the bats down.....nice technique......
85 for 1 now...that shouldnt have been allowedd as a run.......what a gud umpire rudi is ehh

[chuck]

comon mate ... u surprise me sometimes ... u are not playing on a bowler friendly track ... the pitch is a batting paradise ...

but it is getting better for the bowlers. Odd ball is keeping low and there is turn too.

[nafajafam]

btw nafa how are u doing now? one must think happy ;-) the cameraman seems to have done his job better then yesterday today......

razi continues to dravid bowls a half bouncer :D

Cameraman needs to be lashed!!

Anyway, we need a wicket soon and bowl India out by Lunch tomorrow

[kashyapdkuri]

That does not mean 2 wickets only on the third day. And there are 18 overs remaining today. wait and watch.
Sure ... I will remember ur post until the end of the day ...

[Saqib]

If Pakistan get some wickets before close of play it will be big boost. India are trying to play out the day and not loosing wickets. They will not play big shots, only if our bowlers do not try changing the delivery or maybe foxing them with a slower one. They do bowl a short after that they bowl normal delivery...it should be more like the odd yorker or the slower one.

Danish is bowling well, But the indian can play spin very well, Younis should bring at the other end Shoaib if he is in the field :P. Maybe bring the strike bowler on in shape of Shahid Khan Afridi :)

Pakistan getting a wicket today...well they must work for that !

[luvthegame]

Cavin...are you from hindustan....

[nafajafam]

Another single taken.. and I HATE ARUN LAL!!
86-1

[cavin420]

Wonder why YK is moving on with AR for more time than usual ... this is a long spell ...
i think they are giving laxman n dravid some net practice b4 they bring pindi into the attack :D

[Amjid Javed]

i think pakistan should maybe give afridi a bowl for a few overs and see if he can get anything out of wicket now.

[kashyapdkuri]

Runs coming in tandem and easily for dravid-laxman ... another single down to the legsde

[RX]

agree

[IMMY69]

hmmm i think bowls old enuff for some sweet chin music action by pindi......bring him on next over........both these batters are playing dani boy with such maestery.....what a treat to watch!

very true however i found watching afridi and rest of paks batting against kumble and bhagji a lot more of a treat to watch!

[nafajafam]

Short ball to end the over. 86-1

[chuck]

lead is below 500 now ... pindi is back

[kashyapdkuri]

i think they are giving laxman n dravid some net practice b4 they bring pindi into the attack :D
I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ... ;-)

[luvthegame]

SA back.

[nafajafam]

Pindi is back. I want to see some stumps cartwheel!!

[Saqib]

Shoaib on I hope I am right :)

[cavin420]

thats more like it pindi comes in n the ball hardly bounces...pitch is playing up if he bowls one of those inside the stumps...u never know :D

[inzidabest]

I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ... ;-)
Pakistan do it regularly against India.giving away easy runs like net practice

[KB]

The way Shoaib bowled in the first spell, he really deserves to pick up a wicket.

[nafajafam]

Short ball, on the off. no threat to batsman

[cavin420]

I wouldn't do that in an India-pak match ... ;-)
see thats the difference btw u lot n us...we always serve our guests well :D

[chuck]

invariable bounce here .. pitch is playing up. I think it will not be that easy batting for next 3 days. Good that pak batted first.

[cavin420]

almost out just some bat which saved laxman but the balls reverse swining peeps gud news

[RX]

his run up looks slower and he is also bowling slower

why?

[kashyapdkuri]

Pindi is back. I want to see some stumps cartwheel!!
or calories of energy wasted down the drain ... :D

[inzidabest]

shoab akhtar should think it is imran farhat batting

[RX]

i take my statement back!

[nafajafam]

Shout for an lbw, but an inside edge. great delivery that, beaten in the air

[kashyapdkuri]

see thats the difference btw u lot n us...we always serve our guests well :D
U are wrong mate ... as far as royalties are concerned, noone can beat us ... with speeds less than 130 we are serving delicacies and desserts to u ...

[Amjid Javed]

Shout for an lbw, but an inside edge. great delivery that, beaten in the air

looked plumb ;-)

[the_game]

or calories of energy wasted down the drain ... :D

Meat = Calories. I'm sorry Agarkar can't afford to waste "calories of energy" as you say!

[nafajafam]

or calories of energy wasted down the drain ... :D

That explains a lot!!

[kashyapdkuri]

shoab akhtar should think it is imran farhat batting
:))) :))) :)))
I owe a lot to u all and PP

[nafajafam]

looked plumb ;-)

Haha... at times like these I miss Buckenor ;-)

[Amjid Javed]

akthar looking to bend ball back in thru gate here. maybe extra protection thru midwicket or deep on legside would help. That means akthar can go at stumps more.

[Saqib]

First 3 deliverys of Shoaib Akhar not on the target, laxman very watchfull he know his job is to play out the day. And not play any loose stroke.

And 4th delivery right on the target. Laxman very lucky he hitted the bat or else it would have been very very close. Hawkeye sugested it was middel !

the 5th delivery was again on the target nicely defended to the covers.

The last delivery was a slower one, but not on the target

Good over by shoaib almost got the wicket of Laxman there. He is bowing round 144 kph.

[cavin420]

Cavin...are you from hindustan....
and i thought the ***** in bradford are racist :|

india 89 for 1 now dani switches end!

[Amjid Javed]

oi lads, lets cool it on meat stuff. just stick to cricket.

[chuck]

dani is not looking dangerous at all ... laxman had a classy 4 here.

[nafajafam]

U are wrong mate ... as far as royalties are concerned, noone can beat us ... with speeds less than 130 we are serving delicacies and desserts to u ...

Thats cause you guys have no choice.

[kashyapdkuri]

Meat = Calories. I'm sorry Agarkar can't afford to waste "calories of energy" as you say!
look mate ... this is one thing that i dont like in PP ... why do u guyz always go back to the limitations of indian team while we are discussing about pak ...

and i am justified in saying what i said ... coz shoaib bowled 5 sucker of deliveries in the previous over ... only the one ball which reverse swing was worth the effort he put

[the_game]

Thats cause you guys have no choice.

:)))

[nafajafam]

A very well played late cut and Mo Asif escorts the ball towards the boundary.. looked like a girl jumping a puddle!!

[cavin420]

U are wrong mate ... as far as royalties are concerned, noone can beat us ... with speeds less than 130 we are serving delicacies and desserts to u ...
yeah right!!! u are taking all the pace out of the bowl ..making our lifz much more difficult...the ball doesnt come onto the bat.......is that what u call royalties????95 for 1 now....pindi will be bowling to laxman

[kashyapdkuri]

Thats cause you guys have no choice.
what choice do u have apart from rawalpindi express ... NONE !!!

[inzidabest]

I sense a wicket. I can smell it. I can feel it coming

[cavin420]

A very well played late cut and Mo Asif escorts the ball towards the boundary.. looked like a girl jumping a puddle!!
stop saying that otherwise THE C is going to start on our dancing skills :P

[Saqib]

Danish Kaneria is getting some turn, at the other hand Indians are playing very late and sometimes against the spin. Danish is targeting Laxman !

[the_game]

look mate ... this is one thing that i dont like in PP ... why do u guyz always go back to the limitations of indian team while we are discussing about pak ...

and i am justified in saying what i said ... coz shoaib bowled 5 sucker of deliveries in the previous over ... only the one ball which reverse swing was worth the effort he put

Then why the sour grapes and the "waste of energy comment"? Just because you produce 120 km/h trundlers, it doesn't mean that you can't admire Shoaib's talent.

[kashyapdkuri]

I sense a wicket. I can smell it. I can feel it coming
Consult a doctor ... ;-) (kidding ... dont take it seriously)

[Amjid Javed]

The late cut on this wicket has been played well by both sides. Inzi and afridi played it for fun of kumble and bhajji.

[inzidabest]

what choice do u have apart from rawalpindi express ... NONE !!!

the spinach man got sehwag :)))

[cavin420]

showie peeps ma mistake its dravid facing n blocking pindi with ease!!! 95 india

[kashyapdkuri]

Then why the sour grapes and the "waste of energy comment"? Just because you produce 120 km/h trundlers, it doesn't mean that you can't admire Shoaib's talent.
try to read all my messages before u say nething like that ... coz i admire shoaib a lot ... and i always give the respect he deserves ... but with the element of pace that he has, i feel that his efforts are most of the times wasted

[nafajafam]

what choice do u have apart from rawalpindi express ... NONE !!!

Even Afridi can bowl around 80mph, and he is a leg spinner!!

[the_game]

Dravid is a tough cookie. We need to target Laxman with Shoaib. Let Dravid have his single.

[kashyapdkuri]

the spinach man got sehwag :)))
in that case ... the 120 kmph toddlers bowled out pak

[chuck]

Dravid is looking solid .. Laxman is slightly circumspect against pindi

[inzidabest]

I can still smell the wicket

[the_game]

what choice do u have apart from rawalpindi express ... NONE !!!

We are thinking of importing PP's beloved Ajit Agarkar to solve our problems!

[kashyapdkuri]

Even Afridi can bowl around 80mph, and he is a leg spinner!!
are u all blindfolded by pace ??? apart from shoaib others are not worth the speed that they get ...

also, I would much prefer to have someone who fetches me wickets rather than someone who can bowl quickly

[the_game]

in that case ... the 120 kmph toddlers bowled out pak

Bowling out Pakistan for 588? That sounds more like a goodwill gesture than a bowlout mate!

[inzidabest]

in that case ... the 120 kmph toddlers bowled out pak

but Pak are not 50+ averaging batsmen. I mean you saw the way Afridi hamerred. murdesrous.anyways can you please follow the game. we can have the discussions later.
still smelling wicket

[Saqib]

2 slip and a gully for Shoaib, bowling right on the target Dravid always solid as rock. He is bowling consistly over 90 mph/144 k.

Rahul Dravid is the big one here, Shoaib is bowling 6/6 on the stumps but Dravid he is so good playing without any problems !

Maiden over !

[cavin420]

arrey yaar peeps let it go why are u having a go at someone who supports pakistan as much as india ;-) come on take it eazy now !

[nafajafam]

The late cut on this wicket has been played well by both sides. Inzi and afridi played it for fun of kumble and bhajji.

A good observation Amjid. Laxman has played a few good ones too.

[nafajafam]

Maiden. 95-1

[the_game]

also, I would much prefer to have someone who fetches me wickets rather than someone who can bowl quickly

Like who? Agarkar :)) ?

[kashyapdkuri]

We are thinking of importing PP's beloved Ajit Agarkar to solve our problems!
go on ... he might be better than shabbir who has been chucked out for chucking ...

[chuck]

are u all blindfolded by pace ??? apart from shoaib others are not worth the speed that they get ...

also, I would much prefer to have someone who fetches me wickets rather than someone who can bowl quickly

agree with this. Apart from Shoaib and Kumble on Indian side not a single bowler looked dominating. Shoaib cud well be the difference though.

[cavin420]

but Pak are not 50+ averaging batsmen. I mean you saw the way Afridi hamerred. murdesrous.anyways can you please follow the game. we can have the discussions later.

mu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha @ the last line

[inzidabest]

[Amir]

go on ... he might be better than shabbir who has been chucked out for chucking ...

I think Agarkar wishses he could be put of his misery after Lahore. :D

[kashyapdkuri]

mu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha @ the last line
u read my mind ... ;-)

[cavin420]

bring afridi or either malik .......replace daniiiiiiiiiii .....he should rest in the dressing room for the whole of first innings anyway

[chuck]

dani is useless in first innings.

[Rob H]

Whoever gets dravid out to be made president of Pakistan.

[inzidabest]

10 overs to go. 9 wickets remaining

[kashmiri]

kashyapdkuri

you are hoping for a draw on the second day.
you bharathis are so sad

[kashyapdkuri]

I think Agarkar wishses he could be put of his misery after Lahore. :D
Dont even talk about lahore coz every single bowler was taking a beating ... incase u dont know, even ur >130kmph bowlers kept watching

[nafajafam]

are u all blindfolded by pace ??? apart from shoaib others are not worth the speed that they get ...

also, I would much prefer to have someone who fetches me wickets rather than someone who can bowl quickly

Alrite, same old discussion will start. better I end it.

btw guys, when Jesus said: "Be nice to thy neighbours", did he also include neighbouring countries?

[the_game]

go on ... he might be better than shabbir who has been chucked out for chucking ...

Oooh, you are so clever with words. Can I laugh at Agarkar again now :)) ?

[inzidabest]

Dont even talk about lahore coz every single bowler was taking a beating ... incase u dont know, even ur >130kmph bowlers kept watching
what are you trying to do mate. cannot you follow the match. whose bowling is better we can talk after the series.

[cavin420]

pindi bowling with a lot of heart which is gud to see.....come on pindi get us one wicket for the night boy!!! i smell something as well inzi ..not a wicket but a slower ball coming lets hope that brings us a wicket :D

[kashyapdkuri]

kashyapdkuri

you are hoping for a draw on the second day.
you bharathis are so sad
sometimes u sense that pessimisim is a negative approach ... but on the contrary, the same pessimism can be taken as being on the safe side ... going all out does give an option to win ... but might as well take india to doom's land

[cavin420]

deanoo ha ha ha ha...........

nice yorker...nearly 150 kph well played by dravid

[Rob H]

Hows the light?

[kashyapdkuri]

And kashmiri ... dont generalize it saying "you bharatis" ... we are talking abt cricket here ... lets stick onto it ...

[Rob H]

cavin your post rate is higher than AJ bradman himself. How do you do it?

[cavin420]

light gud should get 90 o vers...

awww slower delivery but not on the money duh

[chuck]

I agree with Kashy on Lahore ... Even pakistan could get only 1 wicket. Agree that pace without wicket is useless. But thats the best u got on lifeless pitches.

[nafajafam]

That was good yorker, lil swing in there.

[kashyapdkuri]

what are you trying to do mate. cannot you follow the match. whose bowling is better we can talk after the series.
Tell me one thing -- am I the one who is increasing the arguments or your fellow members ??

Why blame me ? :D

[Rob H]

any reverse swing about? Cricinfo is suggesting Akhtar is moving it the other way.

[inzidabest]

everybody say wicket wicket wicket wicket.
shoab malik needed. he MIGHT pick up a couple with his off spin.
9 ovs remain. 9 wickets remain

[nafajafam]

Slower ball, gets bat on it and goes for a 4.
101-1

[nafajafam]

There is some

Talk about the number of times the Indians have tried to stay on the "safe side" of matches :))) ! BONUS POINT!

[chuck]

101/1 .. that's a good reply so far.

[inzidabest]

how about both shoab to bowl.ocassionaly akhtar to bowl off spin and malik pace with a long run up. batsmen will get confused

[cavin420]

cavin your post rate is higher than AJ bradman himself. How do you do it?
i practice 24/7 with a laptop in my lap ......even if i hibernate its on pp :D

[KB]

Soon Younis Khan might think about bowling Afridi. Afridi did get him LBW at Bangalore.

[badxhah]

Dravid abs CLASS,,,,

[kashyapdkuri]

[badxhah]

:D how about both shoab to bowl.ocassionaly akhtar to bowl off spin and malik pace with a long run up. batsmen will get confused
:D

same happen when kumble bowls ,,,,batsman treat him like a pacer while pathan a spinner ,,, thats y they are confused

[Rob H]

Dravid at his best here. Laxman looking pretty good too. This is a big partnership for India. If these 2 give a platform for Tendulkar to come in then India could score big.

[chuck]

dani gets a maiden

well ... now that the word has come from the mod ... i will just sign-off ...

[the_game]

i will if i dont see hopelessly blunt replies from ur fell ow members ... so that i dont have to click QUOTE every now and again

We here at PP have been getting into the habit of giving out blunt replies these days. Too many Indian snakes have been popping up out of their holes!

[chuck]

another maiden.... they are trying to see the day off

[inzidabest]

shoab malik is the man. just like Razzaq

[the_game]

well ... now that the word has come from the mod ... i will just sign-off ...

Bye bye :)) . Shmuck.

"Indian snakes"

I wonder why mods dont catch these ...

pp is prejudiced .. i thought it wasn't ...

neways ... see ya guyz ... have a good day

[badxhah]

both of them playin for the day now ..

[Saqib]

Good maiden over, well played by Rahul Dravid looking good out there.

We might see Shahid Afridi at the other end, Younis might some get some quick overs...the over rate is not good.

[HAFRIDI]

loud appeal..not out

[the_game]

"Indian snakes"

I wonder why mods dont catch these ...

pp is prejudiced .. i thought it wasn't ...

neways ... see ya guyz ... have a good day

Oooh, you are such a sh*t stirrer! Bugger off troll.

[chuck]

dani is useless ... it's boring .. just as i type it a gr8 delivery by dani ... laxman lucky here wasn't very clear as Lax was quite fwd.

[inzidabest]

I think Younis Khan is happy with one wicket

[badxhah]

OMG wat huge grunt ,,danny jus delivered a baby

[nafajafam]

Huge shout for lbw and Laxman lucky to be there. However, it was hard to tell by the naked eye

[the_game]

OMG wat huge grunt ,,danny jus delivered a baby

:)))

[inzidabest]

run rate getting closer to 3 now.danish must be happy bowling tight

[madaboutlfc]

Huge shout for lbw and Laxman lucky to be there. However, it was hard to tell by the naked eye
wasnt.. it was out.. man i hate these officials.. bring technology in the game

[chuck]

OMG wat huge grunt ,,danny jus delivered a baby
:)))

[cavin420]

was a gud shout by dani boy finally something for him was a straighter one..but laxman was well fwd

[Saqib]

Laxman very luck out there, Danish bowling a good full delivery, certainly he hitted the bat first than the pad. But Hawkeye sugested it was going to hit the off stump...verry close it might been given only doubth may have been the bat & pad rudi gave lots of appeals in the favour of the batsman this series. Laxman lucky to still out there.

This was the big chance, Younis Khan will bring on his strike bowler Afridi :)

[tman786]

3rd maiden over.. pressure on India!

;-)

[nafajafam]

Change of bowling is needed

[badxhah]

and to make it more interesting for my fellow thurky bahi nafajm its was a baby GIRL

[Rob H]

OMG wat huge grunt ,,danny jus delivered a baby
:))) :))) :))) :)))

[chuck]

Laxman was well fwd .. that's normally given not out. But a very very good bowl there from dani.

[Amjid Javed]

Asif needs to get his radar right here and make dravid play abit more. Pakistan need atleast 2 or 3 wickets more before close of play.

[nafajafam]

Smashed through covers for a 4. Good shot!!

[inzidabest]

Kaneria cannot produce baby in the first innings.

[Rob H]

I know they're playing out the day but this is ridiculous. The aim of the game is to score runs you know.

[Amjid Javed]

lovely shot by laxman. That was tasty!

[cavin420]

run rate getting closer to 3 now.danish must be happy bowling tight
:))):))):))):)))):))) no the batters are showing him some mercy its asif whose keeping things tight!

[nafajafam]

and to make it more interesting for my fellow thurky bahi nafajm its was a baby GIRL

Tauba Tauba!! Astaghfirullah!!

[nafajafam]

106-1

[cavin420]

Asif needs to get his radar right here and make dravid play abit more. Pakistan need atleast 2 or 3 wickets more before close of play.
if they even get 1 would be a bonus!!!!

cav still searches for C........

p.s Zalim samajh :P

[Saqib]

Most of the umpires might have given this, acording to the commentators Inzamam got out twice in Mohali last year on the same type of delivery. It just the umpire who gives the batsman benefit of the doubt.

The only why rudi has not given him. bat & pad and the batsman coming a good step forward.

[chuck]

106/1 ... well it's really boring to watch matches like this. It's only good for record books. I hope there is more lively pitch in Karachi.

[nafajafam]

Asif needs to get his radar right here and make dravid play abit more. Pakistan need atleast 2 or 3 wickets more before close of play.

What did you make of Asif today?
I thought he did great in the opening spell, lost his way later on

[inzidabest]

there has to be a wicket. it might come in the last over of the day

[Amjid Javed]

These two indian batsmen have ability to bat day after day, i dont care how we get a wicket. We need one!

[inzidabest]

106/1 ... well it's really boring to watch matches like this. It's only good for record books. I hope there is more lively pitch in Karachi.
wait for this match to get over

[Somali Pirate]

this is **** boring.are they still playing?

[nafajafam]

if they even get 1 would be a bonus!!!!

cav still searches for C........

p.s Zalim samajh :P

Cyanide?

Kaneria going less than 3

[nafajafam]

Not used to a full days play?

[badxhah]

this is **** boring.are they still playing?
no they declared at 106-1 :30:

[inzidabest]

Younis Khan . what happened to your agressive captaincy

[chuck]

I am getting really bored with this .. waste of time. I know it's still early but looks like no chance of a wicket right now.

[nafajafam]

7 overs remain in the day

[HAFRIDI]

asif pitching it up

[nafajafam]

Wonder why Afridi wasnt given a chance today?

[inzidabest]

7 overs remain in the day
we need a wicket.Laxman hit the wicket :D

[Saqib]

Younis Khan should bring on the spinners, there is a bigger chance that they get a wicket than the faster ones. They are getting some turn at the gold course end, Afridi or Malik should bowl atleast 2 overs.

[nafajafam]

That was a nice yorker length delivery, dug out.

[cavin420]

Cyanide?
u dont have to rub it in!!!!! i need to go back on ma medication now not coz of our bowling not just coz of u lot :P thodi c khushi pardasht nai huwi meri :P

[chuck]

[inzidabest]

[HAFRIDI]

maiden...again!!

[cavin420]

7 overs remain in the day
i dont thik we would get all them 7 bowled today lights taking over now, bad light that is

[Somali Pirate]

laxman n dravid will score centuries.another useless draw

[nafajafam]

I dont understand why the bowlers pick up the ball and throw it back to the keeper!!

[chuck]

If it continues like this ... it will surely keep the spectators away.

[IMMY69]

feel sorry for ppl watching in the stadium.

boring

u find this boring? i wouldnt bother watching test match cricket if i was you! what have u been smoking??

its great test match cricket...

its still a flat track and danni is bowling beautifully...indian batting well and paks bowling well..

[KB]

No Afridi today so far. A bit surprising. Would have thought a short burst may have been worth a go.

[Rob H]

Christ who does Laxman think he is? Dravid?

[Saqib]

Once again another maiden, Rahul Dravid & Laxman a very watchfull

Pakistan chance getting a wicket will be 8th world wonder.

[cavin420]

a run after ages breaks the sequence of the maidens.......

[Somali Pirate]

its batting on and on and on.where are the god damn wickets?

[nafajafam]

I think this is the longest Laxman has batted against Pakistan, in terms of time spent

[cavin420]

I dont understand why the bowlers pick up the ball and throw it back to the keeper!!
just to keep the weekers awake!!!

[Saqib]

:14:

[chuck]

:28: :28:

[cavin420]

freeeeedi comes in lets see what he can do now

[HAFRIDI]

the Beast Is Here!!!!!!!

[KB]

Pakistan scored so quickly, that there still a lot of time in this Test for things to happen.

[inzidabest]

laxman n dravid will score centuries.another useless draw
why do we jump to unnecessary conclusions. relax and follow.

[chuck]

afridi on .. lets see

[nafajafam]

just to keep the weekers awake!!!

Haha... and Afridi is in as I write

[Saqib]

The light gettting a bit poor, Shahid Khan Afridi one we might see another 3 overs before end of play :(

[cavin420]

that was smart work by freedi

[HAFRIDI]

the quicker one!

[Amjid Javed]

come on afridi.

[HAFRIDI]

1 off the beasts over

[cavin420]

with that players are off

[HAFRIDI]

batsman go off!!

[inzidabest]

Run rate below 3?

[nafajafam]

Gotta love Afridi for whatever he does on the field!!

[the_game]

Afridi is chatting up Laxman. Nice to watch!

[Saqib]

HAHA

Good over by Afridi, second last ball he foxed everyone :P

[nafajafam]

Stumps on Day2. 110-1 India.

[inzidabest]

6 wickets is what Pakistan need tomorrow. Then this test can go the bangalore way.look at the bangalore test scorecard

[Saqib]

Light taken,

Indian still trail by 478 runs
110-1
The only wicket taken by Abdur Razzak, Danish got almost a wicket only denied by Rudi there gave benefit of the doubt. Good captaincy by Younis Khan, he tried everything to bad did not work.

Pakistan will have to work realy hard tommrow, or else this is going to be again a bid draw, that the last thing both teams want :)

The indian batsman played very watchfull in the last session, good batting by Rahul Dravid & Laxman. Pakistan have to work very hard to get a wicket on this pitch what seems to be a bit more for the bowlers.

[cavin420]

the positive for pak is both dravid n laxman play at a snails pace anyway so they can afford to attack as much as they can for longer periods !!

[inzidabest]

Run rate 2.97. That is pressure. run rate below 3.

[Oxy]

I didnt realise Arun Lal was only 3ft 2 ins tall!

[cavin420]

6 wickets is what Pakistan need tomorrow. Then this test can go the bangalore way.look at the bangalore test scorecard
they are more then capable of taking all 10 i mean 9 by tomorow u never know cricket is a funny game + this pitch isnt an exact carbon of lahore pitch

[inzidabest]

they are more then capable of taking all 10 i mean 9 by tomorow u never know cricket is a funny game + this pitch isnt an exact carbon of lahore pitch
Lets see. thanks once again. m off

[cavin420]

Run rate 2.97. That is pressure. run rate below 3.
what do u expect when dravid n laxman patnership is firing all cylinders!

[HAFRIDI]

I didnt realise Arun Lal was only 3ft 2 ins tall!

he says pakistan are on top by a long way, waqar says pak are just on top.

Tomorrow is gonna be a great day of cricket!

[Amjid Javed]

Honours pretty even for the day. Pakistan need to come out firing tommorrow morning and take some early wickets. If india bat all day they should be looking at around 450 atleast.

[chuck]

gr8 day for pakistan ... good reply by India.
