well played pakistan

[Raz]

147-2 (33 overs) at Tea. Younis gets his 50, Yoyo looking good on 44. Very well done Pakistan.

[alghazzali]

Yeh nicely done, shud make another 200 runs with this wicket comfortably if they concentrate

[MIG]

O k tea time now - Well done Pak - definitely our session this one.... ( lost Taufeeq but no suprise there) since then the 2 have done extremely well and battled it out with the spinners - great moral victory....

[ataullah]

32.5 Pathan to Younis Khan, no run, pushed down to mid-off, straight to
the fielder, hint of reverse swing
Did akram teach him reverse swing too????

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 147/2

well done YK.... now get a ton

[alghazzali]

India hit roundabout 55 fours wve already hit 22. So its looking gud 4 us

[tahaqureshi]

interesting stat alghazzali..but 7 of em came from afridi :oD

[alghazzali]

lol yeh hes just kool

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan need 2 get thru last session without lossing a wicket or just 1 at most...

[alghazzali]

even 2 wont affect us Razzaq and Akmal should b oozing confidence

[Raz]

We cant let this advantage slip now. We need centuries from both Yoyo and Younis now.

[Amjid Javed]

We cant let this advantage slip now. We need centuries from both Yoyo and Younis now.

100% spot on...

[tahaqureshi]

well its better to be safe so id rather we lose NO wickets..
but thinking we still have 4 good batsmen left..i dunno..

[Schiller]

agree with raz there
to get to anything decent we need a century each

[alghazzali]

If either of these get a century at the current r8, we will manage a massive lead, but knowing Pakistan we dont have perseverance and Akmal will b batting an important innings b4 we know it

[Raz]

We cant let this advantage slip now. We need centuries from both Yoyo and Younis now.

100% spot on...

Amjid you agree with me for once! I am honoured indeed!

[Raz]

Players out in the middle! Come on boys we need centuries from you!

[tahaqureshi]

well the two men due up, inzi and kamal, do have perseverance so hopefully a big lead is in the picture

[Raz]

Kumble to start off proceedings.

[alghazzali]

This appealing has 2 stop, sound like hyenas in Pakistan at night

[MIG]

150 almost up , next target = 175 !!!

Longer these 2 bat, better chance for Inzi and following lineup to take Pak to 400+

[Raz]

This appealing has 2 stop, sound like hyenas in Pakistan at night

:oD :oD :oD :oD :oD

[alghazzali]

Yk has 2 play himself i again by the looks of it

[Raz]

150 up for Pakistan

[alghazzali]

4!!! a streaky 1 by YK

[Raz]

50 to Yousuf. Well done!

[MIG]

We should end the day with 200+ for 2

WELL DONE YoYo == another 50 - another hundred in the making....

[Amjid Javed]

50 for yoyo... well done...

now get a ton...

well done YY

MYK musty concentrate

no loose shot

[octavian]

this jackass kumble appealing for no reason !

[alghazzali]

Squealing more than appealing

[MIG]

Nacho Jee, Naya VC or Purana VC, dono nay kamal dikhadaiya hai - Inshallah 2 hundreds on the board from Pak from these 2...

Squealing more than appealing

watch it buddy! :-D

[alghazzali]

lol

[Raz]

Nacho Jee, Naya VC or Purana VC, dono nay kamal dikhadaiya hai - Inshallah 2 hundreds on the board from Pak from these 2...

Inshallah!

[alghazzali]

Yeh Inshallah

[MIG]

Manjrekar saying that Kumble has to watch that he doesnt over appeal or the umpires wont give him decisions - well I Say go ahead and appeal then....

bhajjoo goofing around here...was he always like this?

[alghazzali]

Manjrekar saying that Kumble has to watch that he doesnt over appeal or the umpires wont give him decisions - well I Say go ahead and appeal then....reminds me of HAZARD PECEPTION on theory test if u click 2 much u get zero

[Raz]

Pathan seems low in confidence. Maybe that assault of Shahid early on has dented it!

[alghazzali]

gud point Raz its definitely affected him

[Raz]

This is really funny. Every time Bhajji and Dravid try egging the crowd on to get behind the Indians Yoyo or Younis hit a boundary!

[ataullah]

Al ghazali,seems like u just took a theory test like me lol

[MIG]

100 run partnership up - tallian janab tallian !!

Aamir Sohail keeps on saying "These Indians" as if they are apples or something :oD !

[Amjid Javed]

pak 170/2 keep going...

[Raz]

Younis getting a bit more aggressive now. Needs to calm down!

[MIG]

Ok next target 200!!! almost there boys , almost there...

[tahaqureshi]

both into 60's

[ataullah]

comeon khaney sab say bara khan dastarkhan hai :-)

[Raz]

Balaji on now.

[badxhah]

Amir Sohail Commentary=
These Pakistanis
These Indians
These Anil Kumble
These Youhana
These Yonis Khan
Theeese Kollkata Staduim
These Googgooly

[tahaqureshi]

commentators saying ganguly is excellent fielder but they don't know why he is misfielding today :oD

[badxhah]

Commentators Shud have their eyes check 95% of the indians Dont know Why he is the team.

[nedian21]

MASHALLAH bot Ys playing exceptionally well. nazar na lagay. Pakistan are very prone to a mini collapse. long way to go. both shd get tons INSHALLAH and big ones

[MIG]

commentators saying ganguly is excellent fielder but they don't know why he is misfielding today :oD

The guy who dropped a simple one off Razzaq on the 5th day - could have made the difference !

[Raz]

That was close!

[Amjid Javed]

come on boys keep goin....

[Imran13]

We cant get complacent must make most of this and get a big total and really put india under pressure

[MIG]

200 almost round the corner....

[Schiller]

if any one just heard arun lal say "aghast" then he should go to a psychiatrist soon. i am for sure :oD

[octavian]

amir sohail isn't that bad !

[octavian]

Yoyo and YK's running lookin dodgy now.

[tahaqureshi]

yoyo on 69 with yk on 69

[Amjid Javed]

both YY and YK shud be looking at big tons here... fill ur boots time... not just 100 and out

150+....

[octavian]

Yoyo on 70 and YK on 68 actually

[tahaqureshi]

whenever anyone of our batsmen hits kumble hard, they hit him straight down the ground..razzaq's 6 off kumble was straight down the ground and most of yoyo's big 4's have been straight down the ground against jumble..

anyone notice this? does kumble have a dent in his bowling there?

[MIG]

Yoyo and YK's running lookin dodgy now.

probably the heat ....

[octavian]

they've run betw thw wickets really well so far tho

[tahaqureshi]

yea.thats true

[tahaqureshi]

kumble taking tips from kaneria..coming around the wicket.. :oD

[MIG]

Victory of some sort..... 200 coming up now....

How much longer to end of day ?

[badxhah]

After listening to the likes of Bill lawry and Co this commentary team is Really Crap

[Schiller]

1 hr left I think

[KB]

"whenever anyone of our batsmen hits kumble hard, they hit him straight down the ground"

He does not turn it much, so easier to just hit it straight. When a spinner turns the ball, a bit harder to hit down the ground because you end up hitting accross it and slicing it.

[Bailan]

I like Aamir's Commentry ... better then arun lal, and many others any day.

[tahaqureshi]

both batsmen into 70's

[Raz]

Drinks on now. Pakistan 198-2. 20 overs left in the day.

Come on boys get through without losing a wicket. Inshallah you will do it!

[MIG]

Things slowing down a bit - they should rotate the strike if nothing else....

[Schiller]

singles are the key as they have been since yk came on

[MIG]

With 20 overs Pak should aim to be another 80 runs so something like 270+ with no more loss of wickets would be excellent - also a few centuries wouldnt go amiss!!!

[tahaqureshi]

200 up!!!!!!

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!!!

[nedian21]

200 up . mubarak hoon bhaiyoo. 17 overs left. 2Ys shd not make any mistake like Tendu did yesterday. INSHALLAH no wicket till end and we r in stong position

[nedian21]

ecellent drive by YK. looking great MASHALLAH.

[tahaqureshi]

very surprised how little chuckanator is being used

chukbanator coming on from the high court end...

manjrekar: "expect some justice"....

[nedian21]

he is back. we have to be very careful. late afternoon in Kolkotta has proved to be decisive in the past. and BHa--jji is the hero of Kolkotta

[tahaqureshi]

atys..wouldn't u say that is very cheap comedy by manjrekar? :oD

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 209/2 - YY and YK approaching tons now..

[tahaqureshi]

kumble has bowled 32% of the pakistan overs...in contrast, chuckanator has only bowled 14%..less than half..and i don't understand y they were hyping up his inclusion so much

[Rana Banana]

our run rate is 4.2 |-G |-G |-G |-G

[Schiller]

good pt there, rb, the rr has been brilliant due to some very agile running

[Amjid Javed]

pak 218/2

yk onto 85 now

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!! indians playing very negatively..

[Schiller]

this is negative play but yoyo hit well :-D

[nedian21]

150 partnership with a Yo Yo boundry

[zulfiqar]

222 FO 2 :)

[Waseem]

Hey guys how is everyone feeling today?? good going by the guys :-)

[Schiller]

who would have thought we would be seeing this score as well
:-D

[Schiller]

kumble got frustrated trying to frustrate the batsmen and is now back to over the wkt :-D
and a 4 as I pen this

[tahaqureshi]

younis into the nervous 90's

[nedian21]

another 4 by YK. Kumble keee lei leee . keep going on MASHALLAH

[Waseem]

Well i said that Younis will prove everyone wrong, just give him a chance bcoz he had done nothing wrong before 1st TEST.

[Waseem]

Weel done Bucknor sahib, don't get under pressure......just take a deep breath:-)

[nedian21]

bach gaya. YK shd concentrate. loose shot in 90s. why he want to play a sweep shot.

[Raz]

A good decision there by Steve Bucknor. Indians not happy.

[tahaqureshi]

yk on 95

[Waseem]

Younis moves to 95.......dekh k bachay dekh k plz.....

[Schiller]

an excellent decision

[tahaqureshi]

i just hope yk doesn't give away his wicket after his century (Inshallah) because our batsmen tend to get out between 100-125

[zulfiqar]

2 centuries from both of them by end of play will be very nice :)

[Waseem]

Well Well Well !!!!!!!! Fingers crossed !!!!

[Raz]

Thats a nicely trimmed beard of Shahid's. First time ive seen as nice as that for a long time!

[zulfiqar]

ramizraja on afridi:

"even the beard has not sobered him."

[tahaqureshi]

CENTURY!!!!

[Raz]

100 to Younis well done. A brilliant innings under huge pressure!

[Amjid Javed]

well done YK.

[w4s1m786]

well played should shut a ew people up today

[KB]

"even the beard has not sobered him."

hahahahahaha

[Waseem]

Younis Khan gets his century......................WELL PLAYED BOY WELL PLAYED........YOU HAVE SHUT LOT OF PEOPLE ........VERY WELL PLAYED........NOW PEOPLE WILL KNNOW WHY HE DESERVES HIS PLACE.........................:-)

[zulfiqar]

bad shot to bring up 100 :) Well done YK

Pathan abck on to get beating by yoyo's hands perhaps again? ;)

[nedian21]

congrats YK. he proved me wrong. classic innings. He made 1 superb ton in Newzealand in the beginning of his career and that was his best up till now but this one was a treat to watch. full credit to him . MASHALLAH but keep going on

[Schiller]

a very fluid innings to use dm's word

[Flirta-P]

Omg he got 100! noooooooooooooooo that means hes in the team for another to years becuase of this century.

[Cornered Tiger]

Well Played YK.

[Waseem]

lol @ filtra...........it's not too late to accept SOMETHING!!!!

[nedian21]

Omg he got 100! noooooooooooooooo that means hes in the team for another to years becuase of this century

flirta bro give credit when it is due. I also really hate YK as batsman. But he played exceptionally well.

[Flirta-P]

Me never to much pride :-D

[badxhah]

I love this Passion One time everybody wanted his A** kicked out.Now MYK is sayin KIss My A**

[Flirta-P]

Pakistan are much better at chasing, they have shown that again. Welldone every1 besides umar and yeah welldone younis khan. |-m

[tahaqureshi]

:oD very well put badxhah

[badxhah]

How may overs left for todaay

[Cornered Tiger]

For those complaining about Sami, I think you should take a look at Pathan's figures: 14 overs for 70 runs!!

[ataullah]

just woke up man cant believe it has yk give any chances?

[tahaqureshi]

exactly.....

i think only 3-4 overs left

doubt we will see yoyo's century

[Flirta-P]

These got to remain at the crease by the end up play so tomorow we will be in a really strong position.

[PakPassionate]

ok here u go guyz.

so all u can watch those who are not on stream. dont spread it as its only for ppl inside this thread.

open it in media player

mms://asn.kameena.info/gupshup

enjoy

[tahaqureshi]

i dunno if yoyo will get 100 today

[nedian21]

Yo Yo in 90s. INSHALLAH he will get his ton 2

[Rana Banana]

Fake Pathans confidence was sky high after the last match were he thinks he was scaring the pakistani batsman especially butt who ducked and gave him a wicket however pathan didn't know that afridi was opening as soon as afridi smashed him he was scared to bowl and will have no confidence until the odi series finishes because he will see the back of the real pathan.

[nedian21]

last over. INSHALLAH no wicket

[badxhah]

After long period of time a DAY in test cricket belonging to Pakistan

[Flirta-P]

Lets see if yoyo gets 100 hes the kinda person who would hit out now just to get it.

[nedian21]

brave shot by Yo Yo in 90s and in last over. shows he is in immense touch and confidence is sky high

[Raz]

Congrats Yoyo for a very well made 100!

[Waseem]

HAHAHHAHAHHAH Yeh hua FINAL NAIl hahahah well done Youhanna .....scored 10 runs to get his 100............now we can go without any tension.......:D:D:D:D:D:

[Flirta-P]

I knew he would do it.

[zulfiqar]

HAHA!! he wanted it bad and he got it mashallah!

Xcellent batting from yoyo!! 2 100's.. last ball 4!

[badxhah]

WAt a 100

[Schiller]

what an ending to the day by YOYO :-D

and 200 runs parternship

[w4s1m786]

excellant what a final over

[nedian21]

what a way to bring in ur 100. authoritative stuff. not easy. last over and 10 runs. superb display . no doubt YK has shut his critics (including me) but Yo Yo has also answered some of his critics (not me this time) by showing that he can play under pressure and his tons are vital for team Pakistan

[Waseem]

That was so naughty of Youhanna :P but well played and i think you are allowed to do that when you have confidence....WELL DONE YOUNIS AND YOUHANNA.

[the Great Khan]

salaam lads..what a day!!..

we are really pounding the inferiority complex into the indians today..they seem mentally shot..lets hope we can compound the misery tommorrow..inzi fast paced hundred any1?? will we see kamal blossom with a nice load of runs behind him?? and what about razzaq?? some fireworks are in order!!

[Waseem]

I would rather wanna see a big one from one of the Y's because they are well settled and they can really move on from here. A quickfire 50 from Razzaq won't be bad though.

[MIG]

Continue discussion in the Post Play thread pls - thanks for all your comments and WELL DONE YK and YY.....
