Pakistan V India | 2nd Test Faisalabad | Official Day 5 Thread [25/1/06]

[Mercenary]

On the surface it looks like another draw but then so did Multan vs England.

Will Pakistan take the initiative and send Afridi in at the fall of a wicket and attempt to set India an imposing total or will we see both sides resigned to a draw?

[inzidabest]

Looks like no one is keen on todays play

[cavin420]

guess whose here now?

come on u can do a bit better then that.................:P

yeah right its me..no one seems excited:|

[inzidabest]

m here most of the time. I hope some wickets tumble today. would be fun.

[inzidabest]

Pakistan should give India some overs and pick up some wickets

[cavin420]

on straight drive they were showing the gr8 nusrat fateh ali khans doucmentery.....for a few min though didnt know he was from fsb himself.....!

[nafajafam]

45 mins to game and the talk has already started!

[cavin420]

45 mins to game and the talk has already started!
u should have concentrated more on ur maths classes......n shouldnt have skipped them extra classes as well :P
its 25 minutes :P:P

[cavin420]

i hope paksitan bat all day long...........kami scores 100...youni khan 200! freedi 179*, yousaf 150............inzi sleeps all day long! indians running after the ball all day......yuvi gets injured by one of freediz power rocket shots whilst feilding at silly midon! :D

[cavin420]

dhoni giving interview to deano says : he uses the word kay in english alot......like i was baating on 96 n shoaib came in the attack i told pathan kay first few balls are going to be loosners i will go after them.....kay first ball i got the boundery n 100:))):)))

[nafajafam]

u should have concentrated more on ur maths classes......n shouldnt have skipped them extra classes as well :P

I did, but ma mind was elsewhere!!

[cavin420]

shiva on the pitch : if u want to build ur house have the pakistani curator make it...!!!!! :))):))))

[cavin420]

I did, but ma mind was elsewhere!!
haaayeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......u reminding me of chemistry with that :| now i wont be able to do the cav special for the peeps :|

[inzidabest]

i saw the highlights. its not that easy pitch to bat on now.younis and akmal had anxious moments

[cavin420]

nothing much has changed on the pitch thats why shiva said that inzi........!!! for my money paksitan should bat all day long n give our bowlers the rest + inzi as well...!!!!!!!much needed one i must say!

[inzidabest]

Inzi should not come out to bat. but what surprised me was that the team decided to call back Malik.why?

[cavin420]

n btw inzi congrats on becoming the club captain well done!!!
play is about to begin peeps!!!!

[cavin420]

a minutes silence n duwa for maliks father nice to see.......

[cavin420]

top edgeddddddddddddd over the keepers head 1 run.............rudi suggests otherwise giving it as leg byz...ball clearly hit his helmet

[cavin420]

[inzidabest]

2 runs to younis down fine leg....helped on his way

yousaf padded up having his chaaa

[cavin420]

what peach of a delivery almost cleaned up kami................nice one by bacha pathan

[cavin420]

157 now pak with that single

[cavin420]

gud cover drive by younis to end the over 158 now retains the strike..with that i take a short break!

[luvthegame]

there goes waqar again

" Pak batted on a good batting wicket and India batted on a difficult wicket, show how determined and good indian batting is"

Waqar is definitely pro-indian. Is he crazy or what. This is the same wicket.

[the true passionist]

hope Pak starts to play some shorts soon....though india has a very defensive field.

[octavian]

hello gents. good to be here :)

[Oxy]

Good morning to my fellow commies...

[inzidabest]

kamentry please

[Nauman]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

[cavin420]

what the hell waqar : i was impressed by irfan pathans batting the way he batted was gud u dont expect a fast ( cav stresses fast :O ) bowler to bat like he did......waqar thinks 120 kph is fast !!! wait waqar till u see me bowl :P

[octavian]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

you are not alone nomi boy

[luvthegame]

Except Holding all the losers, Waqar, Deano, Lal and Shiva making pro-indian comments.

We need Rameez and Sanjay back.......................

[cavin420]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?
ur the only one!!!!

beats kami again out side the off stump the bacha pathan....
next ball kami smashes it for 1 though!!!! 162 now india

[inzidabest]

pathan seems to be bowling well. missed the edge again

[The_Cricket_Devil]

salaam everyone. Pathan is bowling quite beautifully early in the day here today pak batsmen should be a lil careful

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

Bhai i think we have a chance too however we shall have to begin smashing and compile a large lead before we even think of risking it

akmal tries a big heave and misses at least the idea is right

[octavian]

thos feminina's are more optimistic than you cav

paratha man

[luvthegame]

Shiva is saying that Indian bowlers are better today.....

[cavin420]

kami beaten again playing his shots off side the off stump this time rp singh beats the bat..........kami take it eazy boy ...whole day awaits u!! n not to mention ur century as well

[cavin420]

salaam everyone. Pathan is bowling quite beautifully early in the day here today pak batsmen should be a lil careful
waslam...why should we be carefull ..we should go for it alot of batting records are begging to be broken!!!!!!

[luvthegame]

Waqar should not Forget the spinless performance by the team he led against Australia in Sharjah which lost in 2 days......

Compared to that this Pak team is 1000% better, why, Because Waqar is not longer the Captain.

[cavin420]

4444444444444444444444444444444 kami !!! 166 now pak

[The_Cricket_Devil]

not timed the greatest but smashed to mid on fence by akmal onto 65 now

[cavin420]

thos feminina's are more optimistic than you cav

paratha man
coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

[octavian]

Waqar should not Forget the spinless performance by the team he led against Australia in Sharjah which lost in 2 days......

Compared to that this Pak team is 1000% better, why, Because Waqar is not longer the Captain.

waqar has always given an impresion of being a jacka*s.

Waqar the bowler was great , but waqar the man is what i mentioned above

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good shot ehre by akmal for 2 great timing akmal getting better all the time

[cavin420]

the first real sensible ting said by waqar all morning : i would like to see freeedi come in next but its yousaf whose paded up that shows u pakistans intentions :P

what a shot smashed by kami races away 2 runs..............
next ball bacha pathan beats kami again outside the offstump

[octavian]

coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

never say never in cricket

[the true passionist]

i hope pak atleast try something here.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

coz i know in 50 overs u cant even get bangladesh out on this wicket ..esp without rana n sami!!!!!

whoa whoa sami!?? we want to win this match not let them do it with 20 overs left in the day :D

Neways i think our bowling attack is fine here infact other than abdul razzaq for rana this is perfect it is the pitch however we bowled well to get india wiht 4 quick wickets yesterday so it is not an impossibility to make a match of this

[cavin420]

nearly out kami just over bhaji scoops in the air 2 more runs to end the over 172 now

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oooo that was a chance that went over hathajan akmal survives and gets 3 for it

Pakistan 172-1

[octavian]

indians are bowling well the old ball

not easy to smash it around atm

[cavin420]

edged again by kami n find the outside edge past first slip ....didnt carry though 444444

[The_Cricket_Devil]

edged and wide akmal living dangerously but it goes for 4

[sneekysneeky]

4 edged through the slips by kamran

[the true passionist]

doesn't matter how the runs come now....

[Slugger]

did anyone pick up on shiva suggesting that the indians are REVERSING it? He's such an idiot it was just because pathan is a lefty and the ball will naturally go toward off stump due to the angle but WAQAR who was a fast bowler himself suggested that it was seam movement that pathan was getting!

[cavin420]

whoa whoa sami!?? we want to win this match not let them do it with 20 overs left in the day :D

im all up for being in hola loya land n wanting pakistan to do the impossible.........but it was preety much a draw as soon as pakistan dropped the catches..........of pathan n dhoni

[the true passionist]

83ovrs to go

[cavin420]

we can forgive the silly spinner but waqar oo right we can forgive him as well since most of the time he doesnt know what hes talking about anyway!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

im all up for being in hola loya land n wanting pakistan to do the impossible.........but it was preety much a draw as soon as pakistan dropped the catches..........of pathan n dhoni

good so ill see u on the other side of reality along with me :D

[inzidabest]

30 more oovers is what Pakistan can bat if they want to force a result. How much can be made in that. can Pakistan reach 320 lead?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hahaha kumble looks so constipated in the field and it is called "concentration" by arun

[cavin420]

i must add one more thing in order for pakistan to pull of the unlikly they needed atleast 120 to 150 runs lead!!!!!!!

bacha pathan right on the money with his lolly pop pace deliveries...
kami pulls the next one hard but mistimes it to midon
pak 177 now

[The_Cricket_Devil]

akmal goes for a pull shot but doesnt get it into the gap

[the true passionist]

if the indians are bowling well...why can't we give it a shot

[cavin420]

wallopppppppppppppp 4444444444444444 smashes bacha pathan 181 now to end the over

[The_Cricket_Devil]

pulled for 4 by kami well hit there

Pak 181-1

[sneekysneeky]

4444 great shot by kamran on the leg side

[badxhah]

i think a supportive delcartion is req here ..

[octavian]

thast the way boys

come on ....we can still do it

[cavin420]

30 more oovers is what Pakistan can bat if they want to force a result. How much can be made in that. can Pakistan reach 320 lead?
ok in order for pakistan to pull off the unlikly heres what i sugest....freeedi next followed by razi ...after razi send pindi!!!!!!!!!!!! after pindi declare......!!!!! hopefully these 3 can bat for 30 overs!!!!

[badxhah]

thast the way boys

come on ....we can still do it


like blow up the pitch so it becomes bummpy

[The_Cricket_Devil]

rp singh right on the money here not allowing pak batsmen to hit a big one on anything

[cavin420]

181 still pak .............the indian teams working very hard on the ball trying to tamper with it but since they know cameras on em....starts shinning :P

[The_Cricket_Devil]

181 still pak .............the indian teams working very hard on the ball trying to tamper with it but since they know cameras on em....starts shinning :P

yea arun talking of indian honesty with the ball no "hanky panky" there :)))

[the true passionist]

what's wrong with the captain. YKhan...too negative for the situation

[cavin420]

Arun on the ball working....see they are showing the full bowl ..implying that they are not doing anything HANKY PANKY :))):)))

[badxhah]

u r really high today same medicines as nafa ,,, u cant tell diff b/w kami n MYK

[inzidabest]

Akmal did his job. Little pressure on Pakistan.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well in comes moyo ah well thats fine too cmon guys we can do it

kami looking closely at the replays

[Amir]

Moyo coming out. Wise decision, considering we do not want to riska lost and too early in the day to sent Afridi. Plus we might just send Afridi when we get the second new ball.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

catch looked very clean and everything donno wat kami is looking at

[inzidabest]

Akmal does play away from his body.

[cavin420]

78 well played by kami...........thumbs up to him!!! kami still watching the replays on THE BOBS LAPTOP ..............and still looks disapointed...............

[The_Cricket_Devil]

78 well played by kami...........thumbs up to him!!! kami still watching the replays on THE BOBS LAPTOP ..............and still looks disapointed...............

looks quite disappointed with himself koi baat nahin kami u did the right thing in the way u were batting

[cavin420]

catch looked very clean and everything donno wat kami is looking at
his technique !!! played well infront of his body n went with hard hands u never do that with bowlers who have no pace!!!

[the true passionist]

hope Moyo plays a few

[Oxy]

Good move to send in MoYo, no need for any fireworks...yet!

[inzidabest]

Does anyone realise how much pressure it would have been if couple of wickets had fallen yesterday. Akmal has played a terrific knock

[lahori]

Good thing he is analyzing his weaknesses. That's a positive attitude.

[luvthegame]

Well played Akmal...He is a talent

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3 leg byes there

[cavin420]

im going to have a nap...see told u its going to be a draw....they should have sent freedi then razi then pindi...............if they really wanted to make this match a meaningfull one...............will get up only if freeedi comes in...im karing baghawat against younis khan now..cav wont watch his batting

gud running 3 runs..almost a run out but the throw was poor 3 leg byz.................yousaf would have been out by miles if dhoni had hit the stumps

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if dhoni had hit there moyo was out

[cavin420]

yousaf down runs into dhonis elbow takes a blow n is down now seems in some pain now........

[Oxy]

And Moyo narrowly escapes being run out!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

moyo in a bit of pain here got hit with dhoni's strong boned elbow (all that dood makes it damaging :D)

[inzidabest]

noy Yousuf cannot be injured . he is needed for the next match

[lahori]

The only thing left to watch in this match is a firework innings from Afridi.

[cavin420]

Good move to send in MoYo, no need for any fireworks...yet!
thats what im saying no need for any fireworks at all bat the whole day...there are records to be broken batting rankings to be climbed!!!!

[Oxy]

We could ill afford an another injury! We are already 2 batsman down

[inzidabest]

And Moyo narrowly escapes being run out!

That would have been disaster

[Slugger]

dhoni what a jerk doesn't even look down to see if he's alrite...NOBODY from the Indian team is there to see if he's alrite...it's called common courtesy

[cavin420]

here i go for ma nap thensee u peeps when the real deals on the wicket!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 shot by moyo pure class of the mark with 4

[cavin420]

what a cracking shot back foot slapped for 44444444444444444 beautifull shot by yousaf.......188

[sneekysneeky]

444 Yusuf drives it beautifully in the gap

[cavin420]

droppedddddddddddddddd by kumble an eazy catch

[The_Cricket_Devil]

dropped!! moyo survives in the slips

[sneekysneeky]

Yusuf dropped in the slips by kumble

[cavin420]

i thinki better stay otherwise the batters are going to be goners............see what affect i have on our team ;-) lucky escape for yousaf he should make it count now

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lead 175 now

Pak 190-2

[the_game]

How the hell do you deal with these ARY ads all day during test matches? I am currently getting a UK feed on my stream, and these ads are really annoying!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wth

Arun: "This was a regulation catch it should have been taken quite easy" then he goes on to say "it was a hard take tho would have been terrific if it was taken"

Arun up to his idiocy agn

[inzidabest]

I sense Inzy might have to come out to bat.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

How the hell do you deal with these ARY ads all day during test matches? I am currently getting a UK feed on my stream, and these ads are really annoying!

heres how: u get rid of ary and get something else :D

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I sense Inzy might have to come out to bat.

i doubt that we have enuff batsmen in good form to make up for his absense atm on this pitch

[The_Cricket_Devil]

younis needs to pick up the pace just a lil bit here to put some pressure on the fielders here

as i speak he goes for a aggresive ut shot only to be beaten by the quicker one

[the true passionist]

i doubt that we have enuff batsmen in good form to make up for his absense atm on this pitch

that would be nonesense unless we lose 4 quick wkts

[badxhah]

I sense Inzy might have to come out to bat.


i dont wana risk inzy for a sensless game ,, even if they all got out now ... let them fight it out wid out inzy ,, would give us the some sense of realities to come

Inzy missed 4 test matchs in 2005 or 3 all pakistan llost

[the true passionist]

i think pak has settled for a tame draw....not a thrilling one

[The_Cricket_Devil]

that would be nonesense unless we lose 4 quick wkts

uh..no offense but i have no idea wat u are trying to say here

[badxhah]

i think pak has settled for a tame draw....not a thrilling one


wat a crap series i hope india ya pakistan win the last test i dont care who wins as long its a result

[slix10]

hows the pitch playing?

i see pathan and singh getting some swing.

[the true passionist]

uh..no offense but i have no idea wat u are trying to say here

oh i'm sorry...
i was tryin to reply inzithebest's comment about inzi will have to come out to play...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hows the pitch playing?

i see pathan and singh getting some swing.


well pitch is still a total batting paradise and remember swing is not really affected by the pitch

[the true passionist]

hows the pitch playing?

i see pathan and singh getting some swing.

a bit. the defensive approach from both teams is more to blame rather than the fbad pitch

[luvthegame]

There is nothing in this pitch. Another lame draw. Bring on the Green Top in Karachi.

[the true passionist]

i dont know with wkts in hand what are we defending for only a few ovrs to go in the day...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

This entire series is absolute garbage incorrect time to play and it has made this great rivalry very tame and boring i would take the eng pak series over this at any time

[luvthegame]

Pakistan has only lost one Test in Karachi and that was against England. So history is on Pakistan's side.

[the true passionist]

atleast dravid is a bit positive.

[badxhah]

There is nothing in this pitch. Another lame draw. Bring on the Green Top in Karachi.


thats was supposed to be the theme of the seriies .. but no .. read cricfo article "india's view bring on the green top" it makes a complete mockery of the PCB makin these types of pitches.

[Oxy]

That motoo Tensports driver gets to much publicity..he's EVERYWHERE in evry series since the last 3-4 years!!!

[luvthegame]

Not Incorrect Time to Play but Incorrect Places to Play, No More Test in Punjab during Winter.

Next Time Play In Karachi and Hyderabad.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 to fine leg by moyo

[The_Cricket_Devil]

200 comes up for pakistan

[badxhah]

Sersiosly if MYK is lookin for a another personal glory ... this is not the time ,,, go n hit out do something positive ... this is suppoesd to be a batting paradise ,,,,Maaro

[The_Cricket_Devil]

superbly timed shot by yk for 4

[Irshan Khan]

Anybody feel that we can win the match or am I the only crazy one?

DO NOT FANTASIZE. PAK might even loose but will not be able to win this one.

[Oxy]

Shot of the day to YK!!! 44444

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Waqar "If india will field like that then younis khan will soon be getting his 3 figures that was the lazy fielding by the little master"

[the true passionist]

i think pak should give india atleast 55 ovrs to bat.

[luvthegame]

Pak has to take some risk in order to Get a result. If they can get a lead of 300 and then declare, We may have a result because will be under pressure to save wickets or go for the Runs.

[inzidabest]

i think pak should give india atleast 55 ovrs to bat.
50 overs. 55 means Pak have only 17 more to go.Pakistan need atleast another 100-120 runs

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pak has to take some risk in order to Get a result. If they can get a lead of 300 and then declare, We may have a result because will be under pressure to save wickets or go for the Runs.

a lead of 300 is a suicidal that will be knocked off in no tim ea min of 350+ is needed here to be safe

[Irshan Khan]

Waqar "If india will field like that then younis khan will soon be getting his 3 figures that was the lazy fielding by the little master"

will the fiery, aggresive, bold man-like pak declare in another 14 overs and challenge india[with 50 overs

[The_Cricket_Devil]

overthrow for a single and bhajji is peed off

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3rd umpire has been called for but moyo is fine

[the true passionist]

i'm not blaming woolmer nd inzi...
but if imran,wasim or waqar were captain we would atleast be trying for a win

[nafajafam]

will the fiery, aggresive, bold man-like pak declare in another 14 overs and challenge india[with 50 overs

bla bla bla

[Oxy]

Singh curses Yuvraj for th e overthrow! He i s really feeling th epressure of not taking a wkt in this series.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

at zaheers pace as soon as no ball is called by umps the batsmen should just slash at it

[mooz]

i'm not blaming woolmer nd inzi...
but if imran,wasim or waqar were captain we would atleast be trying for a win

U think wasim or waqar might pull a "Hansie"? Otherwise I don't think any captain would leave India 50 overs to chase a target.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

superb shot for 4 by moyo

[nafajafam]

thats was supposed to be the theme of the seriies .. but no .. read cricfo article "india's view bring on the green top" it makes a complete mockery of the PCB makin these types of pitches.

Green top will only last oneday, with the team bowling first getting a HUGE advantage. Remaining 4 days the pitch is flat!!

[inzidabest]

Pakistan should bat sensibly for 10 overs and go hammer and tongs for the next 10.
remaining 50 overs for India

[The_Cricket_Devil]

U think wasim or waqar might pull a "Hansie"? Otherwise I don't think any captain would leave India 50 overs to chase a target.

lets see if india is willing to declare their innings :)))

[nafajafam]

Guys, please post the score as regularly as possible.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lucky moyo nearly inside edged it to his stumps

Pak 217-2

[The_Cricket_Devil]

younis goes for a pull but doesnt get it and goes to the fielder at least he seems to be going for some runs now

Pak 217-2

Younis 82

Yousuf 21

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wow gr8 spelling here

"We Want AFRDI"

[The_Cricket_Devil]

666!!! moyo in the mood here bhajji smashed

[mooz]

atleast dravid is a bit positive.

If he really was positive, he wouldn't have so many men patrolling the boundaries. He should let Pakistan score freely, and see if they will set him a targe.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and another 4! moyo onto 31 now

[Oxy]

Biggy from MoYo! 666666...followed by 44444444

[the true passionist]

yeh moyo... atleast make the day interesting.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

300+ runs have been conceded by bhajji in this series without a wicket

[the true passionist]

If he really was positive, he wouldn't have so many men patrolling the boundaries. He should let Pakistan score freely, and see if they will set him a targe.

yeh but he has 4 close fielder for bhajji hoping he will derail pak as he does aus.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Pak 227-2

Younis 82

Moyo 31

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Lead 212 runs now

[inzidabest]

Harbhajan tells the umpire. Please remove helmet and check whether the batsman is Yousuf and not Afridi

[luvthegame]

227-2

[MIB]

If he really was positive, he wouldn't have so many men patrolling the boundaries. He should let Pakistan score freely, and see if they will set him a targe.
positive attitude doesn't mean giving easy runs for the opponents...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Harbhajan tells the umpire. Please remove helmet and check whether the batsman is Yousuf and not Afridi

he mustve been wondering to ask that after the 6 and 4 but after seeing moyo defend after that he forgot that arguement

[badxhah]

Green top will only last oneday, with the team bowling first getting a HUGE advantage. Remaining 4 days the pitch is flat!!


tyvm much that is same thing i have been sayin all this time .,..but everyone thinks that Karachi has mooved to austarlia where the bounce remains the same all the time.
It doesnt work like that ..first day bounce then the sun will bake the pitch into a snooker table.

[the true passionist]

younis playing for 100.

[Oxy]

Appeal for LBW-close/

[The_Cricket_Devil]

close lbw shout there looked out there younis khan is lucky

YK hits a 4 and Shiva thinks they YK should have been given LBW...

can't disagree with shiva there yk was out

[the true passionist]

yeh should have been out.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yk sweeps for a single 88 now

[the true passionist]

hope younis gets his 13 quickly so that he can hit a few afterwards.

[luvthegame]

benefit of doubt goes to batsmen. Dhoni was also out but not given. The game is on.

Rudi is not the best of them.

[mooz]

can't disagree with shiva there yk was out

To be fair to Rudi, it didn't look out when I saw it live.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hope younis gets his 13 quickly so that he can hit a few afterwards.

i hope so too i cannot remember the last time yk hit a six

[The_Cricket_Devil]

233-2

[MIB]

will india bat today???

[Perth93]

:30: to you guys. seeing life even in a dead game.

next time u compare ind-pak to ashes, try doing it without laughing. where's the passion? negativity is the issue, weather is just an excuse coz i've seen past matches played even in early jan.
atleast an undeprepared pitch would 've seen some close finishes.

[Oxy]

Honestly, YK haters pi55 me off! Now that he is getting runs, you have nothing better than to criticise his run rate...its s test match...its still the 1st session! Imagine losing the game????

[badxhah]

Ashes was a one sided affair for more than 20 yrs ...

[inzidabest]

he is going fine. Pakistan are still not safe. They will be safe when there is a lead of 250. Then Pakistan can cut losse

[badxhah]

will india bat today???


no sir they will bat tomm .... u forgot this is a 7 day long test match

[Oxy]

How many sub fielders on for Ind-just heard 2 names-Gambhir and Jaffer-whose off??

[the true passionist]

[Oxy]

Khans run up has gone to the dogs

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no sir they will bat tomm .... u forgot this is a 7 day long test match

even better it is timeless of course it will still be a draw as india will need to catch their boat home by the time it is about to finish :D

[Oxy]

no indications by pak.
declarations seems 15-20 ovrs away...

pak camp scared of sehwag.

Evry reason to be worried by him despite his awful 2nd inngs record

[MIB]

no sir they will bat tomm .... u forgot this is a 7 day long test match

[The_Cricket_Devil]

242-2

[sneekysneeky]

great shot by younis

[mooz]

Thats the longest hit I have ever seen from YK.
Usually he is not such a clean hitter of the ball.

[inzidabest]

Pakistan have 15 more overs to bat. 100 runs?

[Oxy]

:11: :11: Shiva "He was gone...he was gone...look at it :6:

[badxhah]

oh!!is it 7 day test match...if so pak will loose the match for sure


thank god u got that ,,, FINALLY :30:

[mooz]

Pakistan have 15 more overs to bat. 100 runs?

why? what happens after 15 overs.

[badxhah]

why? what happens after 15 overs.


either power play or both team agree to play POOL on this pitch

[The_Cricket_Devil]

still 242-2

[the true passionist]

Pakistan have 15 more overs to bat. 100 runs?

15 ovrs for what?

[inzidabest]

either power play or both team agree to play POOL on this pitch
India can be given 50 overs to bat

[mooz]

:11: :11: Shiva "He was gone...he was gone...look at it :6:

I bet you cricinfo will highlight this decision in their match reports, and will more than likely blame this decision for India's failure to force a win.

[the true passionist]

maiden...nooo

[mooz]

India can be given 50 overs to bat

To what purpose?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

single for yk to take him to 96 pak 243-2

[badxhah]

India can be given 50 overs to bat


they shud have 50 overs wid a resonable target also ... not like 40000 runs in 10 overs.So its open for both teams.That is prbbly not gona happen.
Lke Sa have 275 in 75 overs to Oz to win

[the true passionist]

pathetic...1 run in 2 ovrs.

[hatch101]

I think this could still lead to a lose or win result, if Pak get a lead of 300 and leave about 45-50 overs....then this could be treated as an ODI where the other team has 50 overs and has to chase 300...Pak will have to bowl well and get them all out!

[the true passionist]

To what purpose?

try and take atleast 4-5 wkts to dent indian confidence!!!

[Amir]

Just so you guys know, Sehwag is off the field due to food poisoning.
