Second Test Day 2 Score Updates and Discussion [17/03/05]

[ataullah]

Afridi looked like he was playing sensibly there and looked in no trouble lol.Proper test player

[sajjad]

good confident start by afridi
hope it wears off onto umar

[octavian]

pitch not looking so menacing is it? :-)

Toffe made it look like it was perth ki pitch woh bhi geeli

[tahaqureshi]

its not the pitch thats 'geeli', i think its taufeeq's whites which are 'geeli' by the looks of it.. :oD

[MIG]

I think Taufeeqs main job is to look pretty .... unfrotunately even thats a lost cause - and yes, as he left the dressing room, somebody gave him a bat as well.....

[tahaqureshi]

maybe he's just nervous because of the pressure...and hopefully in the 40 min lunch break, inzi/BW would've sat him down and calmed his nerves...although i doubt inzi would play much part, he'd be busy eating his aaloo kay parhaatay

[arsal_pakfan]

2 consecutive session won by Pakistan after India dominated us for earlier two sessions!

its 50-50 at the moment!..i like such kind of a competetive cricket!...but very sad only 30% ground is full to see such a good fight by both the sides!

[zulfiqar]

Toffee having a tough time out there. When the bois return after lunch for toffee it will be as if he's coming out to face his first ball because he obviously coudln't see the ball in the first outing nor could he score a run, and not to mention dropped catch. The way pathan's ball is whistling by him seems like he's bowling 140+! :oD

Neway, hope he middles a few balls

[Jonty]

Go Afridi!!

[MIG]

YK better have the innings of his life all planned out here.....

[MecnunK]

The only thing he looks like middling is the ball on his pad..hope he scores a 100 ;)

[HAFRIDI]

AFRIDI AFRIDI!!!!!!!

[badxhah]

2 consecutive session won by Pakistan after India dominated us for earlier two sessions!

its 50-50 at the moment!..i like such kind of a competetive cricket!...but very sad only 30% ground is full to see such a good fight by both the sides!

I m suprised they havent burned the stadium down after the local boy gangs and hero Lax went in quick succession

[pakdesi]

another 141* from afridi would do very nicely ,afridi the most favorite player of my dad hez alwayz quoting of boycott that ppl postpone going for a pee when afridi is batting lol

[zulfiqar]

i REALLY don't think we as pakistanis have much right to talk about the 30% filled stadium at Kolkotta... considering our attendances back home last year

[tahaqureshi]

10 min to post lunch session

[MecnunK]

another 141* from afridi would do very nicely ,afridi the most favorite player of my dad hez alwayz quoting of boycott that ppl postpone going for a pee when afridi is batting lol

Now we know what ails Taufeeq.

[Imy]

Question do we make sure that the Indians THE NEW BALL from the same bocx that Pakistan picks. PARANOID I KNOW but who knows

[tahaqureshi]

Players making their way onto the field

Question do we make sure that the Indians THE NEW BALL from the same bocx that Pakistan picks. PARANOID I KNOW but who knows

not paranoid AT ALL. I think there is something going on here with the ball. and we should be using the kookaburra and not some ball stitched up in an Indian gully!

[tahaqureshi]

T Umar on strike

[tahaqureshi]

taufeeq off the mark

[octavian]

Toffee off the mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an achievement!

[Raz]

Hi guys just woken up now. What a start by Shahid bhai!!!!!!!

[nedian21]

taufiq again dropped. doesnt he know how to leave the ball. it seems balaji is bowling like McGrath to him. taufiq even luck with u. plz now do something for ur country

[octavian]

Toofffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh my Goddd!!!

[octavian]

taufiq again dropped. doesnt he know how to leave the ball. it seems balaji is bowling like McGrath to him. taufiq even luck with u. plz now do something for ur country

yes . Plz give up playing cricket !!

[Raz]

Taufeeq bhai. Araam say kelo!!!!!!!!!!!

[tahaqureshi]

GO AFRIDI!!!!

[tahaqureshi]

2 CONSECUTIVE FOURS

[Raz]

Shahid with a 4!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DM]

AFRIDIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

[tahaqureshi]

another 4 but afridi getting carried away..inzi probably on the edge of the seat

[Raz]

Another 4! Shahid bhai zara soch ke kelo!

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!!! ruined a perfect start

[octavian]

Afridi completely loses his mind, and also his wicket !

a wild heave at pathan goes over slips and then another heave into mid-wickets hands

[DM]

AFRIDI MANIA!!

Great stuff!!!

[Bailan]

My love for afridi contiunes ... a short brust of entertainment .... and a quick departure ..

what else can i ask for ... :)

[Raz]

Shahid gone!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tahaqureshi]

keep him in the test team

[ataullah]

afridi man ohhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooo why sooooooo many risks.before lunch he was ok.

[Raz]

The short delivery again was the undoing for Shahid! Shahid was trying to do a Sehwag, but unfortunately couldnt pull one off!

[Schiller]

There was no need for that shot by afridi

[DM]

I cant wait untill his next innings

[DM]

I wish he had the luck of Taufeeq rub off on him today who has been dropped twice

[tahaqureshi]

AFRIDI MADE THE SAME SCORE AS GAMBHIR BUT WITH MORE THAN DOUBLE THE STRIKE RATE

[Amjid Javed]

typical stupid shot to finish by afridi.... no need for it!

[Raz]

I cant wait untill his next innings

Ure not the only one DM! :-D

[catwoman]

Very poor and unecessary shot by Afridi. Really pissed off at him!! |-F |-F |-F

[Raz]

I think he already knows it was a poor shot Mona!

[octavian]

Afridi never thinks anything is needless.

[DM]

AFRIDI MADE THE SAME SCORE AS GAMBHIR BUT WITH MORE THAN DOUBLE THE STRIKE RATE

Interesting observation. Because Gambhir stayed for a longer time at the crease, my initial impression would be that he played better but in fact Afridi dealt more damage

[catwoman]

Should be interesting to see which team drops more catches :-p

[ataullah]

if yk and toffs get a good partnership man comeon lads

[Amjid Javed]

afridi if he used his head cud have taken game away from india by tea or just after tea, but then agen stupidty and afridi belong in same sentence!

[nedian21]

MASHALLAH YK looking good. i hope he capitilize on it. and INSHALLAH make a big ton

[Raz]

Yeah i agree DM.

Younis looking in good touch!

[Imran13]

THATS THE WAY AFRIDI PLAYS AND THATS THE WAY HE WILL ALWAYS PLAY NO POINT COMPLAINING ENJOY IT WHILE HE LASTS ATLEAST ITS A POSTIVE START

[tahaqureshi]

Mashallah YK looking very confident... 15 runs already...and PAK 50 in the 9th over

[DM]

Yep and hopefully Taufeeq can continue to solidify

[badxhah]

Maybe they forgot to tell hIm this isnt a 20-20 or ODI or club game IT F****** TEST CRICKET.

[octavian]

Yk has aleardy outscored Toffee. Toffee on 6 YK on 15

[Amjid Javed]

MASHALLAH YK looking good. i hope he capitilize on it. and INSHALLAH make a big ton

INSHALLAH Younis Khan will fufil his potential and show his ability with bat and score a ton.

pakistan need 2 batsmen to get tons here.......

[octavian]

Maybe they forgot to tell hIm this isnt a 20-20 or ODI or club game IT F****** TEST CRICKET.

you can NEVER TELL anything to Afridi. :-^

[Raz]

Thats the very least Amjid. We need at least a 100 run lead if we're going to win this one. 2 batsman to get tons and another 2 to get at least half centuries!

[octavian]

Kumble and Bhajji's spells are crucial here

[Amjid Javed]

YK, plays 2 nice shots... onto 13 now

pak 54/1

[nedian21]

taufiq is very lucky to be still there. beaten comprehensively. ALLAH tawukkal par khel raha hai

[DM]

AFRIDI plays ONE WAY ONLY. It's as futile to ask Afridi to slow down as it is to ask a photon to slow down.

[Schiller]

photon eh, dm?? :-D

[octavian]

photon eh, dm?? :-D

:oD

[Raz]

Yeah you wont ever see Shahid play an Abdul Razzaq innings at Mohali.

You've just go to accept him for what he is and use him effectively in that manner. I still think he shouldnt be opening. Lower down the order is where Shahid plays best!

[Sage]

I just had to log on to congratulate DM for making the worst simile ever. Just atrotious. :oD

[Raz]

Taufeeq living very very dangerously!

[Amjid Javed]

no1 is asking afridi to slow down... people are asking for afridi to use his brain and be selective.

huge difference!

[octavian]

Yeah you wont ever see Shahid play an Abdul Razzaq innings at Mohali.

You've just go to accept him for what he is and use him effectively in that manner. I still think he shouldnt be opening. Lower down the order is where Shahid plays best!

agree Raz.

[Raz]

I mean look at Gilchrist. At test level he plays lower down the order and gets centuries. Thats what Shahid should be doing!

[octavian]

no1 is asking afridi to slow down... people are asking for afridi to use his brain and be selective.

huge difference!

People have been askin for that for a good 6 years now. It hasn't happened and lets not think that it will happen

[Raz]

If one of Taufeeq and Younis can get a century with the other getting a half century, it will put us in a strong position with Inzi, Yoyo, Asim, Abdul and Kamran to come.

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!

[DM]

I just had to log on to congratulate DM for making the worst simile ever. Just atrotious. :oD
:oD

[tahaqureshi]

taufeeq finally growing in confidence

[octavian]

Yaar what a stupid crowd this is. Not even one clap for the good shots by pakistanis

[DM]

We're looking more comfortable now

[Sage]

Dammit!

[tahaqureshi]

idiot taufeeq

[catwoman]

Taufiq gone |-F |-F |-F

[octavian]

taufeeq gone, Finally!

Good for us

[ataullah]

Guys is taufiq playing well now?looks to be settling down

[DM]

Well he had some luck at least.

[Raz]

Toffee gone!!!! End of a painful innings!

[Sage]

Taufeeq is batting very well Mashallah!

Arggg...why was Salman dropped and Taufeeq kept?!

[MIG]

Ok guys concentrate - next target for Pak = 120/2 at Tea!!

Just keep the faith...

[Schiller]

the use of photon by DM
i thought was the high pt of today's play :oD

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!!

[Hydro]

14.1 Pathan to Younis, FOUR!!, driven to deep extra cover off the backfoot, Gambhir gives a good chase and dives to cut that off but cannot

is he playing odi or someat

[Raz]

Inshallah MIG!

[DM]

Younis looking good! Fluid

[Schiller]

"Taufeeq is batting very well Mashallah! "

first dm with photon and now sage with mashAllah?

what is wrong with us today :oD

[MIG]

sorry revised target = 100/2 , at whenever...

23 more to go....

[DM]

lol

[Raz]

Younis looking in fine form! Come on Younis lad keep it up!!

[octavian]

the use of photon by DM
i thought was the high pt of today's play :oD

Schiller janay de yaar. ghalti ho gayee becharay se :oD :oD

[Schiller]

for some reason not comfortable about yoyo today

[Sage]

Didn't you know, I'm a born again!

[DM]

must be that deadly combination

You cant beat the adrenaline-caffeine-melatonin axis

[Hydro]

79/2 afta 15 overs

younsay playing a odi gotta slowthe run rate down if we want to play a test

[DM]

but Afridi's gone
melatonin's taking over...

[DM]

Great shot by Younis

[Schiller]

"Didn't you know, I'm a born again!"

not you too :o^

"You cant beat the adrenaline-caffeine-melatonin axis"

if thats opium then pass some on here as well :-D

[MIG]

20 to go .... challo bhai challo 20 - YK, YY Meray yaro - kam dikhao !!

[tahaqureshi]

"for some reason not comfortable about yoyo today"

don't say that pls

[Schiller]

octavian:
"Schiller janay de yaar. ghalti ho gayee becharay se"

:oD :oD :oD

[Sage]

DM really deserves QotW for that gem.

[Raz]

Kumble on now! Caution needed!

[Hydro]

81/2 afta 16 overs

mig looks like gonna make 150/2 before tea

[octavian]

Jumbo into the attck now. I feel this is crucial spell from him

[Schiller]

He should get it for that one wasay, it was imaginative if nothing else :oD

and speaking of imagination, heres Kumble to drown the finer senses of man

[MIG]

Cmon people 19 to go to 100 ...... Kumble dumpling in the attack now....

[Hydro]

A Kumble brought into the attack now

[octavian]

He should get it for that one wasay, it was imaginative if nothing else :oD

and speaking of imagination, heres Kumble to drown the finer senses of man

i found it very amusing as well. cant stop laughing. certainly the comment of the weak.

[alghazzali]

YK should make a big 1 on this pitch

[octavian]

amir Sohail suggesting that

" pakistanis should play Kumble as an inswinging Medium pacer " :oD :oD

[Raz]

MIG how long till tea?

[DM]

lol i'm honoured. everyone keep your inspiration to yourselves, i want qotw this week :-D

[MIG]

I hate it when people ignore me..... let me merge a few threads now....

[Raz]

Ganguly on now!!!!!!!

[Hydro]

1 runs off kumbles over

[Schiller]

mig, dm should get quote of the week waisay for that gem of a statement :oD

[Hydro]

ganguly bowling

[Schiller]

mig not your fault, dm was on another plane there :oD

[alghazzali]

I definitely believe YK shud b dropped if he cant make century 2day

[Raz]

Arun Lal: "Ganguly can be relentless with his length and line".

[DM]

Ganguly on

Btw anyone know Afridi's quickest delivery today?

[octavian]

DM has my vote as well

[tahaqureshi]

ganguly bowling??????? thats strange

[Schiller]

wasnt as fast I think, 70 if I remmber rt

[Schiller]

so octavian sage and self all rooting for dm's gem to be qotw

go pussycat go :oD

[alghazzali]

y they keeping Singh back?

[octavian]

Ganguly on

Btw anyone know Afridi's quickest delivery today?

it was 74 mph, rocked Kalajis off stump

[MIG]

I hate it when people ignore me..... let me merge a few threads now....
If I do my job right - we should end up with 1 thread on the forum....lets see....

[Schiller]

that was 74? oh well, knocked the stumps for sure.

arun asks a divine question regarding gangs bowling:

"what needs to be watched" :oD

[DM]

Nice, about 10mph off his quickest though

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!! no more wickets can fall

Allah ka shukur run rate is high

[Schiller]

quoting yourself there mig?? :oD

[alghazzali]

Afridi got us a gud start atleast better than 10-3 wasnt it........

[MIG]

12 to go now !! get ready for a major celebrtaion guy - Indian bhee kiya yad karain gay - hum nay bhee hundred banayay thay !!

[DM]

Arun Lal: "Ganguly can be relentless with his length and line".
:oD devastating

[Schiller]

atleast it didnt look chucked dm so maybe not a bad idea.

mig, wheres your friend vrsaju?

[Raz]

4 to end the over. 88-2 (18 overs gone) Younis on 35 from 37.

[Hydro]

17.6 Ganguly to Younis, FOUR!!, fuller length, on the legs, driven to deep mid wicket right through Sachin, who misfields this one, and the ball travels to the fence!!

[octavian]

ICF'ers are about to break into tears over the legality of Afridi's quicker one. |-G

[alghazzali]

Look at the RR its better than Indias ands he not stopping!!!

[Schiller]

:oD :oD

[Schiller]

this is brilliant
theyre now showing the famous

kolkatta taxis :oD

with the comm saying

"EVen the middle class doesnt fear them " :oD

[MIG]

atleast it didnt look chucked dm so maybe not a bad idea.

mig, wheres your friend vrsaju?

He may be a little overwhelmed by the anti-Indian sentiment ( after all this is PP !!)

But let me email him and tell him ....

[Hydro]

drinks on the field

[Raz]

Arun Lal: "Ganguly can be relentless with his length and line".
:oD devastating

Indeed! Its the way he said length and line as well! Not line and length!

[Schiller]

si si, he seemed a nice guy, i was hoping to recruit him for mig bashing campaign :oD

[Raz]

Dinesh decided to finally do a bit of inspiration from behind the stumps!

[DM]

this is brilliant
theyre now showing the famous

kolkatta taxis :oD

with the comm saying

"EVen the middle class doesnt fear them " :oD
:oD :oD :oD

[MIG]

si si, he seemed a nice guy, i was hoping to recruit him for mig bashing campaign :oD

You wont find too many people for trhat - I am sooooo popular round here..... |-D

[Schiller]

i tell ya arun lal is the mother of all lulus :oD

[Raz]

More chirpy than usual! He needs lessons from Kamran on how to inspire his bowlers!

[octavian]

" He srtrikes in the evening, when the sun goes down, Harbhajan singh rises"

Sanjay Manjrekar on Harbhajan's "secret" abilities :oD :oD :oD :oD :oD

[Schiller]

"You wont find too many people for trhat - I am sooooo popular round here....."

well im sure theres

marooned
rh
sajjad
adi

and maybe I can convince a few others
so i htink its a good bet :oD

there could be an entire character sketch ala satire on you :oD

[octavian]

wait schiller Sanjay has come up with his gem!

[alghazzali]

Kumble bowling well

[Schiller]

"He srtrikes in the evening, when the sun goes down, Harbhajan singh rises""

:oD :oD :oD

dm is contagious it seems :oD

[Hydro]

19.1 Ganguly to Youhana, FOUR!!, overpitched on the legs, glances it to fine leg, Pathan tries to cut it off but fails to reach to it

[Raz]

4 to Yoyo off Ganguly. Middle stump/Leg stump line from Gangu. Very devastating indeed Arun he is with his length and line!

[MIG]

4 to go !!!! Yipppeeee , Jeet Gai, Jeet Gai.....

[octavian]

"He srtrikes in the evening, when the sun goes down, Harbhajan singh rises""

:oD :oD :oD

dm is contagious it seems :oD

i was referring to arun lal...

[DM]

I mean look at Gilchrist. At test level he plays lower down the order and gets centuries. Thats what Shahid should be doing!
Exactly!! We're missing a trick by not having him lower down the order. Against an Indian attack using a dead ball on a dead wicket he'd be in disneyland

[Schiller]

if anyone has missed arun expounding on ball movement just now then he should consider himself lucky indeed. im not sure what he was trying to get at there :oD

[tahaqureshi]

wat type of bowler is ganguly?

[octavian]

Youhana not middling anything today

[Hydro]

97/2 afta 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MIG]

Gangulay looking more roughed up than the ball - must be the local smog - not used to it maybe ?

[octavian]

if anyone has missed arun expounding on ball movement just now then he should consider himself lucky indeed. im not sure what he was trying to get at there :oD


what did he say, schiller

[DM]

"He strikes in the evening, when the sun goes down, Harbhajan singh rises""
:oD that's special

[Schiller]

yar not sure, i think he started with light, moved onto winds and then god knows what. far too intelligent for me i tell ya :oD

[octavian]

yar not sure, i think he started with light, moved onto winds and then god knows what. far too intelligent for me i tell ya :oD

i see |-G

[Schiller]

not sure what is worse, listening to the comms or actually having to look at them as well

[Hydro]

98/2 afta 21

[Raz]

yar not sure, i think he started with light, moved onto winds and then god knows what. far too intelligent for me i tell ya :oD

And me Schiller :-D

[octavian]

do we have any nominees for the most idiotic comment of the series yet ?

that sanjay remark is quite up there i tell ya

[Raz]

Harbhajan on now!

[Schiller]

you heard that one raz??

waht was he on about??

and now another uncouth soldier onto bowl - harbi.

[tahaqureshi]

chuckantor is back..on to bowl

[Schiller]

I think sanjay is fighting it out with arun there

middle class doesnt fear yellow taxis was pretty good as well i tell ya :oD

[DM]

not sure what is worse, listening to the comms or actually having to look at them as well
:oD and worse: seeing them looking at each other!

[Raz]

Harbhajan looking dangerous.

Schiller i didnt really catch it. The thing is he chats so much crap with such a crap accent i dont really catch what he says.

[Schiller]

"seeing them looking at each other!"

ha ha ha :oD :oD :oD :oD

[tahaqureshi]

100!!!!!!!!!

chukday chukkanaytaur!!!!!!!!!!

[MIG]

100 UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


125 is the next target ------ hai hai hai hai.....

[DM]

you know, their little forced glances at each other probably ordered from higher up as part of some modernisation of the commentary team

[Raz]

This is a crucial period of the game. If we can see Kumble and Singh off without losing a wicket we will have the upper hand. Just need to hang in there.

[MIG]

Can anyone keep a count of the number of times YK will sweep today - his favourite shot against the spinners I think ?

[Schiller]

:oD :oD

specially ramiz with his dark goggles glancing lustily at the fellow comm :oD

[DM]

I think sanjay is fighting it out with arun there

middle class doesnt fear yellow taxis was pretty good as well i tell ya :oD
quote of the day for me

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!!!! to yk

[alghazzali]

Tryig 2 appeal 4 not outs!!!

[Hydro]

22.5 Kumble to Youhana, FOUR!!, glanced very fine and nicely, no fielder there!!

[octavian]

do we have any nominees for the most idiotic comment of the series yet ?

that sanjay remark is quite up there i tell ya

Nothing ???

[alghazzali]

22.3 Kumble to Younis Khan, no run, another appeal by Kumble, this time
the ball was outside leg and the ball hit him in line with the
stumps, a faint inside edge too.. wonder why Kumble appealed

COS HES A KNOB

[DM]

:oD :oD

specially ramiz with his dark goggles glancing lustily at the fellow comm :oD
:oD :oD :oD it's not too difficult to imagine him being really sleazy isn't it :oD :oD :oD

[MIG]

2.5 Kumble to Youhana, FOUR!!, glanced very fine and nicely, no fielder there!!

[Schiller]

no no i said that was a definite contender along with arun's comment about taxis

[Hydro]

23.2 Harbhajan to Youhana, FOUR!!, tossed up, on the off, steps forward and drives it beautifully to sweeper cover

[alghazzali]

Hydro where u getting ur commentary from?

[Schiller]

"it's not too difficult to imagine him being really sleazy isn't it"

:oD hell no, with those orange ties, fancy shirts, goggles on, sly smile and that "look"

you almost get the feeling, soon he will slap your thighs in a philadelphian style, i tell ya, i would be afraid to sit next to him in the booth :oD

[MIG]

11 more to next target 125 ---- cmon lads hang in there...

[octavian]

Kumble has lost it completely. he is shouting for definite nout outs there. He should be fined for excessive appealing as well

[DM]

yep i mean arun's quote

[alghazzali]

If these 2 spinners cat do nothing, then not much else will b able 2 trouble us so far

[octavian]

Here 's one from Ravi
Yk is playng well, he as to be careful, he shouldn't try anything too CUTE !!"

[Schiller]

yay happy joy,
ravi and sohail now :oD

[alghazzali]

Yet again Kumble appeals

[tahaqureshi]

yk getting hit on the pad often..needs to concentrate

[Schiller]

ravi likes to use the word cute, envious I guess :oD

[DM]

:oD hell no, with those orange ties, fancy shirts, goggles on, sly smile and that "look"

you almost get the feeling, soon he will slap your thighs in a philadelphian style, i tell ya, i would be afraid to sit next to him in the booth :oD
:oD and you'd hope to dear God you dont fall asleep there

[octavian]

yeah :oD :oD

[Schiller]

:oD :oD :oD

better still the vaseline joke comes to mind :oD

[alghazzali]

:oD :oD :oD

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 118/2

yoyo and yk need to get toms here both are well set... sadly are openers threw it away afta good starts.

[ali kc]

41 overs left today...

if pakistan would be 250-275 by the end of days play without losing any wickets ....we'll have the upper hand in this match

[Schiller]

yar amjid dont interrupt, we had a good thing going here :oD

[DM]

:oD :oD :oD
vaseline wouldnt 'do it' for him, it'd have to be the chilli vaseline :oD

[alghazzali]

Well think that score with even a couple ofwickets we have upper hand, our lower order can bat big

[MIG]

7 more to 125.... cmon guys take us home now...

[octavian]

Pakistan 118/2

yoyo and yk need to get toms here both are well set... sadly are openers threw it away afta good starts.

Toffe never had a start. He scored 18 in 3 innings. good for us i say. I wonder when people say he is the best we've got ??

[Raz]

Amjid Taufeeq never looked comfortable. I wouldn say he had much of a start. Shahid got a start but unfortunately couldnt capitalise.

[Schiller]

"vaseline wouldnt 'do it' for him, it'd have to be the chilli vaseline"

ha ha ha ha :oD :oD :oD :oD

[ali kc]

50 partnership from 77 balls

[alghazzali]

YK nearing a milestone this is where he is vulnerable.

[MIG]

YK needs to get to 50 - his confidence will be sky high then - 10 more for YK...our VC !!!

[Schiller]

yk needs to make a century here today for sure

[octavian]

YK in 40's . Allah Khair karay

[MIG]

Frankly if we can keep our late/middle order out of action for another 200-250 runs - we can get a big score - long way to go, but they are trying and Inshallah, they will succeed

[alghazzali]

wish Afridi was here 2 whack these 2 out of the ground

[Raz]

wish Afridi was here 2 whack these 2 out of the ground

Me too :-D :?d

[alghazzali]

Yoyo doing the right thing by hogging strike against Sing bcos Yk would be bamboozled

[MIG]

Ok safely past 125 now - 150 next and we are in busines....

7 more for YK for his well deserved 50....

[alghazzali]

RR dropping

[alghazzali]

Ok safely past 125 now - 150 next and we are in busines....

7 more for YK for his well deserved 50....


I hope Yoyo and Yk can telepathically hear u ;-)

[octavian]

how long b4 tea guys ?

[alghazzali]
