[cavin420]

ok meatime peeps read this, another master rubbish article n suggestions by non other then yours truely imran khan!!!
KARACHI: Cricket legend Imran Khan believes Pakistan would have been better off with Australian Greg Chappell as their coach instead of Bob Woolmer.

"I think that the combination of Inzamam-ul-Haq as captain and Bob Woolmer as coach becomes too defensive which is why I think a more attacking coach like Chappell would have been better for Pakistan," said the former Pakistan skipper in an interview here on Monday.

Pakistan, a naturally flamboyant side, has become quite a defensive team under the seasoned Woolmer, an Englishman who shot to international cricketing fame as a successful coach for South Africa. Woolmer’s stint as Pakistan coach has been less impressive in spite of the fact that there have been several good results as well.

However, Imran is not too pleased with the Englishman’s defensive tactics. "Pakistan can do better if they resume playing attacking cricket," said Imran who led Pakistan to their only World Cup triumph in 1992.

Imran said a more aggressive Chappell, an Australian, could’ve proved to be a better coach with this Pakistan team. The cricketer-turned-politician is of the view that Pakistan should not face many problems in winning the two-match Test series in Sri Lanka. He points out that even with spin wizard Muttiah Mualitharan on their side, the hosts are not a balanced squad and the Pakistanis should go on to win the Test series comfortably. Pakistan triumphed in the three-match One-day International (ODI) series 2-0 against Sri Lanka earlier this month.

Imran said Pakistan committed a mistake by dropping tearaway pacer Mohammad Sami from the touring squad, saying, "I believe Sami should’ve been in the team for the series against Sri Lanka as the tour would’ve helped him in getting ready for the more important assignment in England this summer."

Pakistan are to play four Tests and five ODIs in England during a marathon tour to be held from July 1 to September 10. Imran added that there are just around four or five bowlers in international cricket today who can bowl over 90mph and Sami is one of them.

One of world cricket’s most famous personalities, Imran is not a big supporter of the Twenty20 version of the game. "Twenty20 matches do not benefit cricketers in any way," he said. "Already there is a lot of cricket being played all over the world and there is no room of this new version," he added pointing out that the players are already at a bigger risk of injuries than ever before because of too many ODIs.

Commenting on South Africa’s record chase in an ODI against Australia at the Wanderers, Johannesburg earlier this month, Imran said he wasn’t too surprised by the stunning outcome of the high-scoring thriller, pointing out that one-day cricket is a batsman’s game and any total is achievable on batsman-friendly wickets.

[cavin420]

Do you know what the word techincally means? TECHINCALLY it is day three, HOWEVER REALISTICALLY it is day 2.

Monsee bhai, you can tick that scoreboard over again :P
by the way, think about what you have just said.................think for about 5 minutes , i really hope you do understand what you have done, thats game , set n match cav:11:


realistically its day 3!!!!! reality ever heard about it?

technically day 2.......(look up the difference between tech n realist.) Rip!

revenge is sweet ;-)

[Slugger]

was this guy mentally tortured by his political opponents or something? you guys should've also heard what he thinks is the current state of affairs in Pakistan...absolute rubbish he should return to cricket before he ruins what he was by what he is becoming...

[Monsee]

Imran kaay damaagh keh 'Rings and Pistons' muuk gayaay hein...

Ian Chapell touches a No 2 team, it becomes No 2 from the bottom (Almost); a team known for it's fearsome batting, folds for 100 runs!

Aisee Aggressiveness per laanat hai :9:

[sneekysneeky]

you beat me to it today cav :(

btw mirc is crap and ill tell u why later on mirc :12:

[Amir]

Taken from Webster.com

Techincally is based on or marked by a strict or legal interpretation.

Now based on a strict and LEGAL interpretation, it is day three. Since it is ACTUALLY day 3. Despite the rain, day one did happen and pass, legally making it day three of this test.

Realistically is concern for fact or reality and rejection of the impractical and visionary.

Now the reality is it did rain on day one. And in reality it is actually day two since day one there was no play. Thus realistically it is day two since no play took place on day one.

Do you see the difference? Techincally is based on a legal fact, meanwhile realistically is based on a presumed pratical reality.

Revenge is even sweeter when the other guy makes a fool of himself.

on a serious note read this...........

COLOMBO: Pakistan’s young pacer Mohammad Asif, who took four wickets for 41 runs to help his team skittle out Sri Lanka for 185 in the first Test here on Monday, has credited his coach Bob Woolmer for resurrecting his international career after a wicketless debut against Australia a year ago.

"I didn’t get a wicket in my first Test and I was down in the dumps not sure if I would be able to play for Pakistan again. But Woolmer boosted me and lifted me through the Pakistan A tours and allowed me to make a comeback against India," he told a news conference.

The 23-year-old, who took seven wickets in his last Test against India at Karachi in January and now has 11 wickets in his last three innings, said that on Woolmer’s advice he had worked hard on line and length and fought back in domestic cricket and with the Pakistan A side. "I was selected again because of my performances in domestic cricket and for the second string side. Which is why I give Woolmer so much credit."

Asif said the appointment of Waqar Younis as the bowling coach had also been a big help for him and the other bowlers. "Waqar is a highly experienced bowler and he knows everything about fast bowling. Although he has been laying a lot of stress on us on cutting down our no-balls and wides, he has also given some fine tips which have helped me a lot," Asif stated, adding, "I am sure as the time goes he’ll teach us a lot more and guide us in becoming better bowlers."

Asif said he had simply concentrated on line and length against India and Sri Lanka. "Line and length is my key to success. So far I’ve been getting movement both ways off the right spot. Today I kept on bowling outside the off-stump to Sangakkara and got just one to nip back. It has happened with Samaraweera also."

Asked if he had beaten the batsmen by using his wrist to get reverse swing and move the ball off the seam the other way, Asif said everything was about line and length. Pakistan manager Zaheer Abbas said Asif was a natural seam bowler who had the ability to move the ball both ways from one spot, which was a great asset for any team.

Asif said he had set no long-term goals for himself at the moment and was taking it match by match. "After I’ve become confident enough to settle down in the team will I plan ahead and set targets for myself. But it helps a lot when you’ve a united team and everyone is around to support you."

"Today I just did what the captain and coach told me to do concentrate on line and length." Asif said he was looking forward to his county stint with Leicestershire as it would help him get used to the English conditions and pitches and be prepared for Pakistan’s Test and one-day series in England later this year. "In that area also Waqar has given us some very good advice on how to bowl in English conditions."

Waqar, a former Pakistan captain and fast bowler, enjoyed rapid success in England playing for his national team and for counties Surrey and Glamorgan once taking seven wickets in a one-day game at Headingley.

PAK in trouble!

PAK AINT IN TROUBLE TILL THE PATHAN IS PLAYING

[SameerAhmad]

Playing in Sri Lanka, usually a tough place to play, is no excuse- Pakistani batsmen better wake up by their second innings or :X... I mean, I consider Pakistan to be in the top bracket of international cricket, least we can do is play like we mean it. Kamran up next, he's really sensible as a batsman so lets see what happens... =D Go Pakistan =)

[sneekysneeky]

444 by Kami edged

[CrickFan]

Jayawardhene will send a big "Thank You" card to inzy for inspirational captaincy - that allowed Srilanka to reach 185 .

[cavin420]

When you say the better man won, you obivously meant me....after all you are far from a man.

Plus like I said, I don't live and breath by my computer. I had some school work to do, you know that thing where do work assigned by your teacher?
a man doesnt need to go and google to find out meanings of words :16:

149 for 6!

[Geordie Ahmed]

DAMN beast gone

and its your fault :D

[sneekysneeky]

and its your fault :D
looks like it... as soon as i bumped that thread the ball crashed into the stumps

[PlanetPakistan]

we could be in a similar situation in the 4th innings
with something like 20 to win 3 wickets in hand

[lakha84]

Why Do They Make Pathetic Pithes It Becomes Boring After A While Test Odi Screwed Up Pitches

[sneekysneeky]

Pakistan trail by 29 runs

156-7

[PlanetPakistan]

Colombo pitch is always like this!
even a target of 95 in the 4th innings is hard to chase!

[kablooee87]

I'm not liking chappel very much right now because he is ripping into Inzi, but you have to admit, he has a point.

[PlanetPakistan]

what is he saying?

[Big Mac]

Why the hell is Gul leaving the ball all the time? He's going to get done soon and why the cock is Kamran taking a single from the first ball of the over?

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Why the hell wa Akmal giving him a single of the 1st ball anyway ???

[sneekysneeky]

Murali strikes... Gul gone LBW

[Big Mac]

ffs there we go, Gul LBW as he pads the ball away playing no shot for about the 50th time. What a prat.

[F16]

Guys reserve ur criticism after the match is over . The game of cricket is very tricky and we do not know when the situation will change . So do not blame Inzi right now .Wait for the match to be over to get a clear picture .

[Waheed_one]

Dravid gone 85/5

[kablooee87]

Inzamam is one useless captain.. as for the management we have a bunch of retards there.. I mean Malik has tried and fail as an opener but these useless idiots keep persisting with a lost cause..

Lol, did the sky fall or something at your end? Clam down. It's not good right now, but let's not blow everything to pieces here, have som perspective.

[Perth93]

guys i know hype sucks, but wnated to know how's Mahroof's bowling? he's been around for a year or two and seems to be improving every game. bowls perfect seamers and uses his head.
44 with bat, 4fer already. good talent.

[PlanetPakistan]

Kamran is still there!
we needs to take almost all the strike
I remember last time when we played a test match at Colombo we were in a similar situation! In fact we were trailing by 110 or so with only 1 wicket in hand. Then W Akram and A Khan shared a 90 runs partnership for the last wicket and that proved to be the difference!

[PapaBear]

We could have had a lead of 100 if not for Inzi'a stupidity.

[PlanetPakistan]

PAK will need to bowl SL out for less than 150!
If SL score 200+ then they will be the heavy favorites

[cavin420]

i hope it rains now, noo i hope it flooods like it did on the first day and carries on for 2 days:16:

[Amir_rulez]

Can't believe the scorecard in front of my eyes. In one word, its "pathetic" .... regardless of whats to come.

[Oxy]

We could have had a lead of 100 if not for Inzi'a stupidity.
Well you cannot blame Inzi for some f the shots our batsman played!

[Oxy]

This is the fear when you play SL away - Murali bowling at you in the 4th inngs is a frightning prospect

alot of money

[sneekysneeky]

lunch

[tahaqureshi]

I still say don't lose hope..we can fight back, its lunch and a good time for us to regroup..we often come back strong after a bad session or two, let's not give up hope

[tahaqureshi]

wat time will play resume?

[TaxiDriver]

WHAT THE F##K!!!!
Just woke up and saw the score!!!! WHAT THE F*#K!!!!

[TaxiDriver]

man I'm bloody GUTTED!........WHAT THE F*#K!!!

[Easa]

Don't give up guys, we can fight back.

[Easa]

Lanka - 42-0

Kaneria and Asif bowling after lunch.

[Juggy D]

Good bowling performance by SL. Jaya and Taranga are off to a good start. The pitch is easing up now. A score of 250 is a bare minimum for SL now.

[Easa]

Edged through the slips, 4.

[Swaraj!!]

I dont think Kaneria shd be bowling right away. Regardless of how good a spinner he is, subcontinent batsmen are more comfortable with slow bowlers.

[Juggy D]

Sanath was dropped by Younis Khan in the slips just before lunch. Will he make the Pakistanis pay like he so often does when he gets a reprieve?!

[tahaqureshi]

JD uchalraha hai..I guess its the first time this whole tour so we'll let him be :P

[tahaqureshi]

the runs are drying up..i hope tharanga's inexperience shows up

[Kashif]

and this from cricinfo:

13.1 Danish Kaneria to Jayasuriya, 2 byes, starts off with a wron'un and Jayasuriya is beaten, Sangakkara fails to collect it cleanly

[Easa]

53-0

I smell a wicket....

[Easa]

Out!!!!

[Juggy D]

Poor shot by Jayasuriya to throw away a good start!

[Easa]

Sanath gone caught behind, trying to pull a bouncer. u

Sanga in.

[Perth93]

i cant believe wht's happening in the game today...
eng beat oz.
then pak beat eng. (while oz thumped saffies.) :20:
now lanka beatinfg pak??
tomorrow, bangaldaesh may beat lanka and claim to have beaten them all! :29:

no more predictions anymore, anything can happen.

[Easa]

WhaT did I tell you guys? :P

[sneekysneeky]

WhaT did I tell you guys? :P
repeat karo yar

sanga needs to get out soon too

[Easa]

Cover drive, 4.

Good shot Sanga.

[Easa]

Easa smells another wicket....

Can't hurt to try... :P

[Juggy D]

Batting looks easy out there after lunch. SL need to continue on batting patiently. There is lot of time left in the match. The kind of weather we have had, the pitch may not break-up until the last day.

[Easa]

Sl 60-1

[shan]

bring afridi

[Easa]

Umar Gul into the attack

[sneekysneeky]

Afridi should come in now

[badxhah]

Gowars Quote of the Year

ODI STANDS FOR OH! DEAR INDIA

[Easa]

Tharanga beaten, great delivery Danish.

[Easa]

Afridi should be introduced.

[Uzzy]

Thank Inzamam if we lose.

[nafajafam]

Salaam guys, has the wicket eased out?

[Oxy]

Thank Inzamam if we lose.and if we win???

[Oxy]

Danish needs to learn the LBW rules! When he gets a legit appeal, its likely to be refused!

[TaxiDriver]

CricInfo is showing 90/1...everytime India are playing it's SOoooo Slow! All one billion indians bloody logging-on and clogging up the servers!!!

anyway sorry about that. I think we need to slow the run rate right down. Need to restrict their scoring.

[Betty S]

Guys I think we have lost this match, hands down. The course of a game is decided on Day 3 and Sri Lanka have pulled it in their favour.

Can not f*cking believe we blew it from 124-4.

Inzamam you eejit.

[Uzzy]

and if we win???

Then credit to the bowlers and batsman.

[Oxy]

Then credit to the bowlers and batsman.if skipper can be blamed for defeat, then why not for victory.

[nafajafam]

How did Afridi manage to get bowled to Murali? I would have expected a stumping or catch !!

[TaxiDriver]

man...I'm still soooo GUTTED! Last night I went to bed assuming we'll have at least a 50+run lead by the time I woke up....what a bloody shock!!!

This Gul is beginning to wind me up....He's going for four an over. Not watching it so can someone who is tell me if he's bowling junk ???

WE NEED TO RESTRICT THE RUNS!!!

[Uzzy]

if skipper can be blamed for defeat, then why not for victory.

Well if we win it will be the work of the bowlers. We have to restrict them and make sure they dont have a big lead over us. Then it will be the batsmans job to get the runs. I wont praise Inzamam because him letting the oppoisition recover when you should go for the kill is starting to become a joke now.

But like i said if we win, then credit to the bowlers.

[Oxy]

This Gul is beginning to wind me up....He's going for four an over. Not watching it so can someone who is tell me if he's bowling junk ???
!
I'm watching the Ind v Eng ODI now - but lost interest in the Pak game a while ago - Gul was swinging it a lot at the start, but nowt special since.

[nafajafam]

Same here Oxy. I am kinda tired of watching cricket in the sub-continent.

[TaxiDriver]

I'm watching the Ind v Eng ODI now - but lost interest in the Pak game a while ago - Gul was swinging it a lot at the start, but nowt special since.

Thank you. My blood was beginning to boil with him but have just realised that Malik is on now...

Don't know how you can concentrate on another game...but credit to you.

[Oxy]

..I also watched a bit of the SA v Aus game - spoilt for choice today:)

[nafajafam]

I cant even see the Pak vs Sri game. Even though my previous statement holds true, I would still be watching the game.

[badxhah]

..I also watched a bit of the SA v Aus game - spoilt for choice today:)


sAME HERE.. i

[TaxiDriver]

..I also watched a bit of the SA v Aus game - spoilt for choice today:)
oh....you must be a 'cricket fan'...like I said, credit to you...and enjoy it.

Cause I can't watch others whilst my team is playing...

[Jonty]

it is becoming common when the oppisition is almost down and out, inzamam lets them recover. No killer instinct.

[Pakola]

man...I'm still soooo GUTTED! Last night I went to bed assuming we'll have at least a 50+run lead by the time I woke up....what a bloody shock!!!

This Gul is beginning to wind me up....He's going for four an over. Not watching it so can someone who is tell me if he's bowling junk ???

WE NEED TO RESTRICT THE RUNS!!!

ditto!

i know how u feel. I was thinking razzaq and inzy would slowly creep us to 170, and then afridi and akmal could propel us to a 50 run lead. Notice me not overestimating what afridi can do since he is out of form these days.
Turns out my underestimation was still not enough.

[TaxiDriver]

Cricinfo saying Sri Lanka 113/1 RR 2.97.

Good buoys! Finally slowing the run rate...got to make them work for their runs...restrict the lead. C'mon buoyz keep it up..don't bowl garbage please.

[Pakola]

I didnt mind India beating us in the ODIs since we did bowl poorly and they ae competent in that arena.

But not sri lanka man. They had a hard time beating bangladesh in the test series.

[kayanni]

our shot selection was awful except for Razzaq,

what Inzi was doing i dont know. the ball was well outside off

[shan]

we haven't lose the test men

there is great chance of rain in next 2 days

[TaxiDriver]

Oh man....bloody razzaq is back on...we need to RESTRICT the runs!!! bloody bonga better not go for more than 3 an over! He better have read his basic-cricket book during tea...line and length, line and length, line and length...

[UJ]

our shot selection was awful except for Razzaq,

Yeah Inzi was dissapointing..I really thought it was hes day to score a century.

Instead Pakistan will struggle to save this test unless weather can intervene.

[Oxy]

127 - 2.

Danish get a wkt. Good catch at Mid off

[shan]

outttttttt

[shan]

hope this is the start of another colaps

[Big Mac]

Great catch from Farhat

[Uzzy]

Finally a wicket. The best we can hope for now is a collapse of sorts.

[shan]

where is afridi

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Well if we win it will be the work of the bowlers. We have to restrict them and make sure they dont have a big lead over us. Then it will be the batsmans job to get the runs.

But like i said if we win, then credit to the bowlers.


im getting sick of this. Ok asif and gul had reduced lankans to a bad position - how did inzi not go for the kill? he had the choice of kaneria,razzaq,afridi and malik as backup in the attack. Gul and asif were tired so needed a rest for an aggressive spell later on( they arent machines who can bowl endless amount of overs). Asif did come back later on and finished them up. Uzzy r u saying he shouldnt have given razzaq a bowl when he did? hindsight is a wonderful thing and it seems like certain ppl solely rely/wait on that. Ok so his fields werent overly aggressive but inzi obv saw the rest of the attack as containers before a concerted final push from the strike bowlers

[Easa]

That was a great catch by Farhat.

[Easa]

Maiden by Razzaq.

A 1 hour rest! He already had a 15 minute break beforehand and then another 30 mins while Kaneria\Gul\Razzaq were bowling. Surely a 15 minute break would have sufficed? Even the commentators were questioning Inzi not bringinig on Asif after the 15 minute break. And what do you know, as soon as Asif was brough on (1 hour late!) he picked up a wicket in his first over. Why didnt Inzi bring on Asif much earlier and just go for the kill then? Instead he opted for Razzaq when even on seaming wickets Razzi was useless.

This is the sole reason why i will blame Inzi if we lose this match. But if we win credit goes to the bowlers.

why credit to the bowlers?

who brough on Asif 1 hour later? yes it was inzy and he picked wicket thanks to him

[MecnunK]

what's the score anyone?
