Pakistan V India | 2nd Test Faisalabad | Official Day 3 Thread [23/1/06]

[Somali Pirate]

alright ppl,

its about time these bowlers delievered allready.i don't care if they aren't economical.Just bring me some god damn wickets.C'mon shoaib,asif,razzak,afridi and danny.




If we can get just 2 wickets we are into the soft indian belly.

c'mon pakistan.

[hasan316]

If Shoaib and Asif even pick a wic in first spell then india will be in danger

[Nauman]

Thread title sorted and the thread has been pinned. Good luck to Pakistan for the days play.

[jusarrived]

Good luck to pak..cos they will need a lot of it! :D

[kashyapdkuri]

Experienced lot

Dravid
Laxman
Sachin

2 wickets and the inexperienced indian batting line-up will be exposed ...


Yuvi
Dhoni
Pathan
________________________________

The first session with a bit of dew in the air should be dealt carefully ... i would want dravid to bat out the first 2 sessions if india were to stay in the match ...

[luvthegame]

Asif still hasnt taken a wicket yet and this is his 2nd test. I am seriously doubting his selection in the sqad and Gul was let go who has 25 Wickets in 5 tests, including a 5-25 against India. :O

[cavin420]

a very gud morning to all the peeps where ever u maybe!!

bob woolmer reckons its still a batting pitch but the ball will stay low which might make something happen for the bowlers this was missing from lahore!

[Sheikh]

i hope kaneria isnt over-bowled...i think with malik missing afridi will automaticlly ball more and that for me is a good thing.

if the ball is keeping low then asif and razzak become dangerous with their line and length bowling.

and then theres akhtar...

[ahaPassion]

Without Malik, the bowling load needs to be shared among four bowlers. I hope our attack doesn't wear out in all day long spells.

[cavin420]

weather seems spot on ..pleasent weather ..so u can expect another day close to 90 overs.....hows the weather forcast for day 4 n 5 ?anyone know

[cavin420]

pitch report...cracks are opening up peeps n if the ball hits the cracks makes soemthing happen like the inzi n sehwag wickets holding says ball did something unusual coz the ball hit the cracks....for spinners bit better but still conditions very much in favour of the batters

[jusarrived]

wats wrong with malik? injured?

[cavin420]

both ramiz n sanjay taking the micky out of geoffery boycott (talking about all the fancy trucks in pakistan n comaring em with all the dull red busses in london :))):)))

[cavin420]

wats wrong with malik? injured?
hes fathers in coma.......................................

[jusarrived]

thats unfortunate :(

[cavin420]

Younis Khan has now aggregated 633 runs in his last four innings against India -- 267 and 84 not out at Bangalore, 199 in the first innings of the first Test at Lahore and 83 in the first innings here. This is now the most runs scored by any batsman against India in four consecutive innings. Sanath Jayasuriya held the previous record. He had made 624 runs in four consecutive innings in 1997 -- his scores being 340, 32 and 199 and 53. Graham Gooch is the only other player to have aggregated 600-plus runs (612) against India. His sequence being -- 40 (in 1986), 333 and 123, and 116 (in 1990).

[badxhah]

wat abt Shewag against us

[cavin420]

let the battle begin......asif bowling to dravid

[darkmoon459]

Here we go Guys,

match started, asif is starting to bowl Dravid.

[Big Mac]

Pure class from Dravid

[cavin420]

4444444444 what a shot by the gr8 dravid with that brings his 50 up straight back past the bowler gud start by india n dravid

[The_Cricket_Devil]

dravid starts of the day witha boundary to bring up his 50 :14: well played

[darkmoon459]

First ball, fuller in lenght ,straight drive for a boundry.

[octavian]

we need early wickets badly !!

[kashyapdkuri]

Pitch continues to keep low ...

dravid - 50 from 102 balls

another ball defended quite well from dravid

laxman - 28 from 83 balls

[octavian]

Asif's swining it just a lil bit

[cavin420]

1958
The longest innings in Test history. Hanif Mohammad batted for 970 minutes (that's over 16 hours, or nearly 11 football matches, or almost 39 episodes of Neighbours) to save Pakistan's first Test against West Indies in Barbados. His 337 was at the time the second-highest score in Test history; it's now the seventh. It was also the longest innings in first-class history, until Rajeev Nayyar went 45 minutes better for Himachal Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy in 1999-2000. In Hanif's match, Pakistan had followed on the small matter of 473 runs behind - they made 657 for 8 from a mere 319 overs.

:))):))):)))) 11 football matches :))))

[The_Cricket_Devil]

114-1 after the first over of the day

[darkmoon459]

end of First over , 4 runs scored.Asif good line and length except for the first delivery.

[octavian]

Shoaibby and dani will be crucial

[Pace]

Akthar bowling his heart out.

[cavin420]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

93.3 mph bouncer!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and afridi continuing :D

[MIG]

indians are just playing out akthar...Not worried abt RR,will pick up if these two stay for another 10 ovrs!

Not a bad ploy but they dont seem to be scoring that well against the other bowlers....

Read Prem Panickers report from yesterday at Rediff and you will know what I mean.

[lahori]

This is a feary spell from Shoaib. He deserves a wicket now

[cavin420]

pindi upto 150 kph now...................i can smell a slower one coming

[Pace]

Check out Tendulkars focus excercise.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

laxman hangs his bat out and is lucky to have not gotten a nick

[cavin420]

ooooooooo beaten outside the off stump no foot movment by laxman nearly edged it to kami

[luvthegame]

Laxman misses.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

116-1 at the end of the over another maiden for shoaib

[Raz]

Maiden from Shoaib, very well bowled!!!

[badxhah]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Laxman going at a beastly 29 from 105 balls. And we were making fun of razzaq's slow innings this is slow even for a test innings :D

[Raz]

pindi upto 150 kph now...................i can smell a slower one coming

Where in your nose?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

they know if they give one wicket to shooby hell wid break loose

yea because Pakistani bowlers are confidence bowlers give them one wicket and thats it u are done :D

[cavin420]

wow some agression from afridi throws the stumps down with that throw gud gud..hint of reverse swing from asif

[Pace]

It would be great for Asif to bowl an outswinger once in a while.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

randomly throwing it to the stumps ah well

[Raz]

Laxman going at a beastly 29 from 105 balls. And we were making fun of razzaq's slow innings this is slow even for a test innings :D

Razzaq was 8 from 47 at one point yesterday!

[inzidabest]

where is the wicket. but good pressure

[Nawazb]

salaam all

pakistan started well here akhtar bowling well and inshallah hopefully he can get a breakthrough.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

thats 4 to third man by laxman

[Raz]

Wide ball from Asif, gone for 4 thru the third man area.

[cavin420]

444444444444444 down to thirdman by laxman

[Raz]

salaam all

pakistan started well here akhtar bowling well and inshallah hopefully he can get a breakthrough.

Wasalam, lets hope so.

[cavin420]

122 now india...pindi wi ll be bowling to laxman once more!

[jusarrived]

Not a bad ploy but they dont seem to be scoring that well against the other bowlers....

Read Prem Panickers report from yesterday at Rediff and you will know what I mean.


MIG,this is a very typical Dravid laxman partnership...both are vry slowstarters...once they get going they can easily score 4-4.5 r/ov...!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Razzaq was 8 from 47 at one point yesterday!

yes raz bhai that is true however it made sense because afridi was going all out on the other side so he held up one end however all laxman is doing is increasing the pressure (not that it is a bad thing..for us of course)

[Raz]

India 122-1

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wide ball by shoaib

[cavin420]

MIG,this is a very typical Dravid laxman partnership...both are vry slowstarters...once they get going they can easily score 4-4.5 r/ov...!
yes sure in one dayers i agree once they get going can score 4 to 5 runs after the 45th over ;-)

[Raz]

yes raz bhai that is true however it made sense because afridi was going all out on the other side so he held up one end however all laxman is doing is increasing the pressure (not that it is a bad thing..for us of course)

Yeah he isnt totally comfortable, i sense Shoaib will get him soon. How much longer can he keep going like this?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sloppy fielding effort by afridi gives away a single

[cavin420]

waslan and inshAllah!

single taken for the first time dravid would be facing pindi for the day!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no ball by shoaib

[jusarrived]

yes raz bhai that is true however it made sense because afridi was going all out on the other side so he held up one end however all laxman is doing is increasing the pressure (not that it is a bad thing..for us of course)

Just by controlling scoring rate don think pak can put dravid n laxman under pressure......if this continues ,watch out for the frustration from pak bowlers...only mean more loose balls!

[bala977]

Test cricket is supposed to be played this way (i.e. give the first hour to the bowler). The problem is, people like beast Afridi play differently. (and to some extent, Sehwag)

So Shoaib can bowl as many maidens as he wants - no problemo

[jusarrived]

yes sure in one dayers i agree once they get going can score 4 to 5 runs after the 45th over ;-)


we are not talkin abt pakistani batting here,are we? :13:

Or a loose shot from Laxman!!!!

yes we do not want to offend the Beast now :)

Indeed!! Anyone else fair enough a small b is satisfactory but not for Afridi :D

[jusarrived]

yes...of course we are going to lose...maybe you should look at the trail for India right now nearly impossible to win from that deficit.

Squared dravid up with that ball it kept lower

[cavin420]

we are not talkin abt pakistani batting here,are we? :13:

yes i know that very well indeed thats why i said DRAVID N LAXMAN....u should be hung for even relating pakistan to such a snails pace RR...!! :26:

Squared dravid up with that ball it kept lower


inspite of your team scoring near 600 runs in firstinnings,if u think indian victory is a remote posibility...proves my point!

[inzidabest]

In bangalore the second wicket fell at 172?

[Raz]

Razzaq coming into the attack.

[umarbeast]

Asif bowling extremely good. He is miles better than Sami. More control and accuracy. Holding saying he would like to see Asif bowling on more responsive pitches. I agree.

[Raz]

And good ball first up.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inspite of your team scoring near 600 runs in firstinnings,if u think indian victory is a remote posibility...proves my point!

nothing is impossible and it would be naive to say that we have no chance to lose ill leave that kind of superior complex attitude to u

[inzidabest]

wicket in the first over like yesterday. lets see

[cavin420]

razzak into the attack peeps.........rest assured another 10 maiden overs now :P

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no ball by razzak however he is bowling well here

[badxhah]

dravid is doing the same sort of ducks shoaib malik was

[Raz]

I wish i cud..cpompletely relying on 420's updates!

Oh so my updates don't mean anything or are of no use to you then? :P

[inzidabest]

everybpdy say wicket wicket wicket.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

down to fine leg for a single and there is a direct hit from the boundary as well laziness almost gets dravid run out

[inzidabest]

Razzaq is actually going at 3.75 and he was there to down the scoring rate

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Oh so my updates don't mean anything or are of no use to you then? :P

I feel so unappreciated now as well :P

*shakes fist at 420* :D

[cavin420]

a loud appeal for lbw by asif but ball was clealy going down leg./.....gud decision by rudi for once

[The_Cricket_Devil]

big shout for lbw but the ball was clearly missing leg stump

[Raz]

Huge shout for LBW from Asif but going way down the leg side.

[jusarrived]

[Raz]

And Asif follows up with a great yorker, just about kept out, Well bowled

[The_Cricket_Devil]

how do u calculate the FOLLOW on score ...

first innings score - 200 = minimum required to avoid follow on

[inzidabest]

whats Razzaq figures in this test match till now

[Raz]

how do u calculate the FOLLOW on score ...

By taking 200 or is it 250 from the score of the other team.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

whats Razzaq figures in this test match till now

9.2-0-39-1

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Raz]

Was there an edge there? If there was that looked out although not sure if it carried.

[cavin420]

that seemed to have carried ..kami didnt appeal properly..dravid can thank his lucky stars again! end of the over by razi

[The_Cricket_Devil]

do not know for sure whether the ball hit the bat or pad tho but if it was bat dravid was out why didnt kamran appeal

[MIG]

Razzaq justifying his labelling as my cousin....

[Raz]

Razzaq goes for the yorker, down the leg side though and it ends up as a full toss and a 4 through midwicket for Laxman.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

"razzaq was hiding the ball and laxman would have been wondering what the hell was that" --waqar

laxman hits a four thru mid on onto 44 now and 100 partnership is up

[umarbeast]

Just in Razzaq is the faster than any of the Indian bowlers. That is pathetic lol

[cavin420]

wicket is the need. even if runs go, its not an issue. India are playin too defensive

i really do feel if someone needs to pick up a wicket has to be asif..................otherwise if he doesnt then this pitch can be a career ending one for him!
153 for 1 now india end of the over with that drinks

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well guys its getting late here (vigorous exam study has tired me today) so i shall see you around later. Allahafiz every1 Pakistan's success is in my prayers

[cavin420]

More unpalatable fare, but for different reasons. Ross Emerson raised hell when he no-balled Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing in the World Series match against England at Adelaide. Arjuna Ranatunga led his team off the pitch for a while, and was later involved in an ugly exchange with his English counterpart Alec Stewart. Oh, and Darren Gough feigned a headbutt at Roshan Mahanama after he had obstructed Gough. Shame about all the nonsense, as it obscured a cracking match - Graeme Hick's fine century was matched by Mahela Jayawardene's, and Sri Lanka, needing 303 to win, got home with one wicket and two balls to spare when Muralitharan, of all people, hit the winning runs.
:O:O:O amazing

[cavin420]

well guys its getting late here (vigorous exam study has tired me today) so i shall see you around later. Allahafiz every1 Pakistan's success is in my prayers

Take care, hudafis.

[Pace]

Deano just mentioned Dravid and Laxman both ran into the pavillion at the drinks break probably to give a motivational talk to the team. I say they ran into take a leak.

[inzidabest]
