read btw the lines :|

[inzidabest]

such easy batting by both of them

[kablooee87]

Ok kids a cricket lesson for today: When you bowl in excess of 90 mph a short ball is effective in rattling the batsmen as he doesn't have enough time to do anythign except get out of the way. BUT...

If you are bowling at or under 80 mph consisntently short, the batsmen will have enough time to comfortably pull you.

Class dismissed.

[cavin420]

i wouldnt mind watching sachin n dravid but laxman plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz get him out!!!!!!

175 now india

[inzidabest]

atleast hit something. do something exciting.get dhoni to bat.

[Perth93]

has aktar shown any venom or as he gone into his shell? i think he and bhajji are the two guys who hate playing india-pak series.

[Raz]

Afridi brought in and a HUGE ROAR from the crowd!!!!!

[cavin420]

nearlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a wicket..................phewwwwwww almostttttttttttttttttttttttt laxman

[Pace]

Afridi could make a difference here.

[Raz]

Good over from Afridi, 176-1

[Perth93]

at the cost of sounding obvious, i'm hoping BW bloods irshad/arafat in karachi. atleast some excitement guaranteed. how has asif jumped over those two? i saw him in oz and couldn't believe he was pakistani.

Asif has bowled well actually so far and has consistently troubled both Laxman and Dravid.

[cavin420]

nah was bowling preety decent was right on the money india played him very well..u give bowlers like him n bhaji 1 wicket they will run through u..well with bhajjis case he has to g ofor 150 runs first :D

[aabbasi]

Trivia question: Whats wrong with commentry below ?


End of over 59 (1 run) India 176/1 (trail by 412 runs)
Shahid Afridi 2-0-2-0 - Pavilion End
VVS Laxman 50* (147b 7x4) R Dravid 81* (174b 13x4)

58.6 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, one run, Laxman works trhe last ball of
Afridi's over through square-leg to bring up his half-century!
58.5 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, no run
58.4 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, no run
58.3 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, no run, on the middle stump this time,
slow through the air, defended towards cover
58.2 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, no run, on the pads this time and quite
full, Laxman flicks to midwicket against the turn
58.1 Shahid Afridi to Laxman, no run, flat and quite quick, on the pads,
worked past short-leg

[jf1gp_1]

India playing for a draw they cant win so the least we can do is insure that its a draw. Plus Pak bowling doesnt have enough fire power to take wickets on this pitch.

[Pace]

Watching these two bat is like Chinese torture!

[cavin420]

awww close to being cauth down the leg side of dani...kami could quite get there given as 4 runs.......atleast things are happening now

[Slugger]

take a wicket dammit!

[cavin420]

almost a run out........phewwwwwwwwwwwww just missed the stumpss dravid again a lucky escape would have been outttttttt

[Perth93]

Asif has bowled well actually so far and has consistently troubled both Laxman and Dravid.

not watching it on tv so dont know. from your new tearway who partner akhtar, you expect himto go all out, rather than just 'consistency'. that shud be popye's role. does asif look like he'll produce 5ers?

[jusarrived]

almost a run out........phewwwwwwwwwwwww just missed the stumpss dravid again a lucky escape would have been outttttttt


420 you imagining things...its high time you go to bed! :))

[cavin420]

wow what a delivery by freedi beatssssssssssss dravidd all ends up had no answerrrr

[lahori]

surprising to see Afridi getting more turn than Danish

[Raz]

Afridi gets one to turn, that fires him and the crowd up!!!

[zulfiqar]

afridi on.. bowling pathan's pace :D

[inzidabest]

Pakistan missing Malik here

[Perth93]

from what u guys say, asif seems more in a shahid nazir/aqib javed mould.
but then muhammad zahids dont come everyday. :(

[Raz]

not watching it on tv so dont know. from your new tearway who partner akhtar, you expect himto go all out, rather than just 'consistency'. that shud be popye's role. does asif look like he'll produce 5ers?

He has tried but when your only at medium pace theres only so much you can do, especially on this track.

[jf1gp_1]

wow what a delivery by freedi beatssssssssssss dravidd all ends up had no answerrrr

dont understand why u all get so excited. Afridi after all is an international bowler the least he could do is beat the batsman once every 10 overs so he had done it it once.

[cavin420]

420 you imagining things...its high time you go to bed! :))
its would have been alot beter if DD had shown the matches live in india..so rather u lot following it on cricinfo could have actually seen whats really happening out there in the middle!

[Raz]

Kaneria trying to tempt Dravid to hit on his favoured leg side and against the spin. No luck so far though.

[cavin420]

dont understand why u all get so excited. Afridi after all is an international bowler the least he could do is beat the batsman once every 10 overs so he had done it it once.
beating rahul dravids bat is a big achivement!!!!!!! not to mention on this pitch!!!

[Raz]

When is the 80mph rocket going to come from Afridi?

[jusarrived]

u wud know that some ppl work...i happent to be one of them.!

[jf1gp_1]

beating rahul dravids bat is a big achivement!!!!!!! not to mention on this pitch!!!

This whole series has been turned into a big joke whats the point of holding such meaning less matches. another 4.

[cavin420]

freediz keeping laxman guessing throwing in a few off breaks n quicker ones now.........atleast making something happen 4 to end the over 192 now india

[inzidabest]

dont understand why u all get so excited. Afridi after all is an international bowler the least he could do is beat the batsman once every 10 overs so he had done it it once.
oh you are back. dont understand why people talk rubbish like Pakistan has gifted the match to India even before it started.

[Slugger]

This whole series has been turned into a big joke whats the point of holding such meaning less matches. another 4.

you don't have to watch

[cavin420]

u wud know that some ppl work...i happent to be one of them.!
i know since its ppl like me who keep ppl like u in employment forgot :P

dani should come around the wicket....ooo bit of turn now dravid is in some discomfort now!

[Perth93]

cant expect freedi to do anything on day 2,3,4. he's becoming a batting allrounder like his best buddy pathan. :>

[jf1gp_1]

oh you are back. dont understand why people talk rubbish like Pakistan has gifted the match to India even before it started.

you know what rather than bashing each others players maybe fans from both the sides should join (for a change) n ask together wht sort of pitches have been prepared for this series.

[cavin420]

yorker bowled by freed well played.........by dravid

[cavin420]

44444444444444444 what a shot .......................midonnnnnn

[Slugger]

cant expect freedi to do anything on day 2,3,4. he's becoming a batting allrounder like his best buddy pathan. :>

he's becoming a batting allrounder because he hasn't taken a wicket in the last half an hour?

make that just 4.4 overs

[badxhah]

dravid has been on feild for morre than 32 hrs .. in both test man ,,,
Wow wat stamina

[inzidabest]

you know what rather than bashing each others players maybe fans from both the sides should join (for a change) n ask together wht sort of pitches have been prepared for this series.

[Perth93]

[cavin420]

for cricket.Yes

[cavin420]

207 for 1 ..dravid 96 n laxman 65

[Slugger]

[inzidabest]

[inzidabest]

can we hav some wickets please

[jf1gp_1]

i just hope Rahul gets his 100 before lunch so that i can sleep after that.

[cavin420]

kami is yes non stop/...i think these wickets were made to establish dravid as an opener n laxman as a no3 :D 216 now india

[khilari]

danish with a wink.... woh bhi luxmi ko ... cooool

[the true passionist]

pathetic strike-rate for both
less than 50

[cavin420]

laxman completes his 500th run against pakistan..avergaes 35...not bad for a no3 batter ;-)

[the true passionist]

kami is yes non stop/...i think these wickets were made to establish dravid as an opener n laxman as a no3 :D 216 now india

What about Pakistan as an improved batting team under woolmer? :P :P :P

[inzidabest]

high time.wicket wanted.

[the true passionist]

i can't see a result in this game....99% sure.

[cavin420]

i dont want to say another ball goes through the slips..if there was a 2nd slip laxman was a goner :D almost lunch now last 2 bowls comingup poor dravid hasnt had much of strike frm the past 3,4 overs n remains on 97

[the true passionist]

atleast kaneria would be improving his ecconomy rate... :21:

[cavin420]

india go to lunch on 227 well played both to dravid on 97 n laxman on 83....................

[chuck]

nothing is going pak way at the moment. India have scored over 600 runs in the series for the loss of 2 wkt. what man? where is pindi? bring him on.

[inzidabest]

m off to sleep. too late in the night.hope to see some wickets down when I get up.

[the true passionist]

that's why teams dont like visiting Pak....
we fak them up...w/ our pitches...

[cavin420]

seriously kaneria should be supersubed for the whole of first innings..........!!! who evercompared him to shane warne???????????? it will take dani another 5 yrz to get any way near shane warne !!!!!

[the true passionist]

ok that's it for me aswell...i'm of to sleep.....have busy monday 2morrow

[the true passionist]

seriously kaneria should be supersubed for the whole of first innings..........!!! who evercompared him to shane warne???????????? it will take dani another 5 yrz to get any way near shane warne !!!!!

he is better than warne....against the indains :16: :16: :16:

[chuck]

kya yaar ... is there anyone capable of taking wickets? Pak is supposed to have had better attack than India. The only wicket goes to who? AR ... the one we least expected. He looked the most useless. Pindi looked in good touch but no wickets ....

[jf1gp_1]

India have scored over 600 runs in the series for the loss of 2 wkt.

Pak were all out under 600 ... so dispite all the fun made in the forum about the indian bowlers we still are doing a better job.

[the_game]

Pak were all out under 600 ... so dispite all the fun made in the forum about the indian bowlers we still are doing a better job.

Troll after troll after troll. You guys can't stick to ICF for a change?

[badxhah]

well draw is still on the cards but if these 2 carryin on and then let dhoni n UV let loose to increase the scoring rate n try to gain a lead of 150 to 200 something ....

Nah Wishful thinkin

[chuck]

Troll after troll after troll. You guys can't stick to ICF for a change?
wait for pindi after lunch.

[umarbeast]

jf1gp_1 just for fun did you notice that razzaq bowled faster than any of your Indian Bowlers??? Is that pathetic that our slowest medium pacer is faster than your fastest medium pacers???

[badxhah]

Troll after troll after troll. You guys can't stick to ICF for a change?


Let them have fun ...

[jf1gp_1]

Troll after troll after troll. You guys can't stick to ICF for a change?
Naah its much more fun here.. but tell me what wrong did i write ur bowlers are struggling to get wickets ur trying to blame it on luck but even when Indians were bowling there were a few runout chances missed n few catches which fell short u never saw anyone of us cribbing.

[spindoctor]

jf1gp_1 just for fun did you notice that razzaq bowled faster than any of your Indian Bowlers??? Is that pathetic that our slowest medium pacer is faster than your fastest medium pacers??? .

Its true that India has not produced any fast bowlers.....

[jf1gp_1]

jf1gp_1 just for fun did you notice that razzaq bowled faster than any of your Indian Bowlers??? Is that pathetic that our slowest medium pacer is faster than your fastest medium pacers??? .

Ok then let me just point out Medium pacers from India have taken more wickets than ur so call express bowlers. ur so called lethal weapon akhtar is yet to take a wicket i mean even pathan has a wicket but akhtar ZERO.

[Slugger]

seriously though last series 04 pak was said to have bowling while india batting and same thing this time...yet india has picked up many more wickets than pak

india's batsmen are better than pak so pak has a tougher job in bowling
pak's batsmen are not as good as indian batsmen so indian bowling picks up wickets easier

pak's home ground might put pak under pressure pak bowlers bowled well in india
india's home ground might put them under pressure their bowlers bowled well in pakistan

[the_game]

Naah its much more fun here.. but tell me what wrong did i write ur bowlers are struggling to get wickets ur trying to blame it on luck but even when Indians were bowling there were a few runout chances missed n few catches which fell short u never saw anyone of us cribbing.

Do all ICF'ers post random nonsense like this? Seriously dude, you sound like a 10 year old typing with his feet.

[jf1gp_1]

Do all ICF'ers post random nonsense like this? Seriously dude, you sound like a 10 year old typing with his feet.

as expected. no answer so attack the poster so typical.

[nafajafam]

Salaam bhai laug.. what happening? I see the same old bickering!!

[Raz]

Ahhh... speaking with personal experience. congratulation on knowing how u were born.

Yes we all know you're speaking from personal experience, dont need to remind us!!

[nafajafam]

Can We All Please Stick To Cricket And Stop Passing Insults.

[Raz]

Can We All Please Stick To Cricket And Stop Passing Insults.

Is that a request or an order?!

[nafajafam]

420, where art thou? sucking up the anti-depressants?

[badxhah]

nafa ja ... back frm tim hortons poodi session

[alpacino]

Curator should have a statue in the border between India and paksitan.

[the_game]

Can We All Please Stick To Cricket And Stop Passing Insults.

I believe these ICF trolls need a little kick up the rear to be honest!

[Slugger]

man these ICF losers come here because their forum is dead...and this one is thriving, professional and intelligent...i say we ignore him...

[nafajafam]

Is that a request or an order?!

I said please, didnt I?

[alpacino]

These surfaces are bowler killers. Rarely bowlers get some fun.

[Raz]

I believe these ICF trolls need a little kick up the rear to be honest!

How about forcing them to listen to anhour of Waqar's commentary?! I cant think (in my brain) of a better punishment :P :16:

[Raz]

I said please, didnt I?

You didnt say pretty please :P

[omf52]

i dont know why most pakistani fans seem to think that pace is the biggest threat. as you can see, with the "express" bowlers you have, youve only got 2 wickets this far in the series. the indians on the other hand have got 15 (not counting the run outs) of yours.

this isnt meant to be an insult. just facts and nothing more.

[nafajafam]

nafa ja ... back frm tim hortons poodi session

Haha, Hate Timmy's!!
Speaking of poondi, whats new in missasauga? ;-)

[umarbeast]

We need this kind of chatting when Dravid and Laxman are playing cricket that would make Jim Carey go to sleep lol

[Raz]

These surfaces are bowler killers. Rarely bowlers get some fun.

Well Afridi got the ball to turn and actually was unlucky not to pick up a wicket, he really bowled well.

[Slugger]

how long is lunch guys what do you think the players have?

[nafajafam]

You didnt say pretty please :P

Shugufta will do that for ya!!

[the_game]

How about forcing them to listen to anhour of Waqar's commentary?! I cant think (in my brain) of a better punishment :P :16:

:))) Raz, Waqar's jam from today was "Laxman looking at the bowler and he probably thought what the hell is happening" :))) .

[Raz]

Shugufta will do that for ya!!

:)) Go on then!

[Raz]

:))) Raz, Waqar's jam from today was "Laxman looking at the bowler and he probably thought what the hell is happening" :))) .

Yeah i heard that one and that really cracked me up!! Its just the way in which he said it!!

[nafajafam]

:)) Go on then!

Haha, wasnt that one wild fling? ;-)

[Raz]

Haha, wasnt that one wild fling? ;-)

Sure was one hell of a ride! ;-)

[nafajafam]

Game's heading for a draw in my opinion. Need quick wickets. Danish is yet to reach his century!!

[Raz]

Game's heading for a draw in my opinion. Need quick wickets. Danish is yet to reach his century!!

Won't be seeing him take a wicket until he reaches that now legendary milestone!

[badxhah]

Haha, Hate Timmy's!!
Speaking of poondi, whats new in missasauga? ;-)


Same old everything ... hot girls ( brown white pink purple red)

[nafajafam]

Sure was one hell of a ride! ;-)

Too bad it got a lil bumpy towards the end. Tell ya, they can get you in trouble, but dont feel like getting out of it, just keep falling.. ha

[the_game]

Can someone please make some donations to buy out Dravid? The man won't budge.

[madaboutlfc]

i dont know why most pakistani fans seem to think that pace is the biggest threat. as you can see, with the "express" bowlers you have, youve only got 2 wickets this far in the series. the indians on the other hand have got 15 (not counting the run outs) of yours.

this isnt meant to be an insult. just facts and nothing more.
you lose wickets when you are playing attacking cricket to win.. unlike India( bar sehwag) Pakistanis are an attacking team and that would always create chances.. I prefer my team to play with flair like we do.. at the end of the day 600/2 in 3 days is worse off that 600 all out in 1 and a half day.. .. At the end of the day you need to give your bowlers a chance..

[nafajafam]

Same old everything ... hot girls ( brown white pink purple red)

Cant go wrong there.. anyway players are entering the field.

[Raz]

Ok play has resumed with Kaneria continuing after lunch.

[umarbeast]

Dravid I have to admit is one class act I have to admit. He is going to be very hard to get him out. I think the only one with a chance of getting him out is Shoabi.

[nafajafam]

Can someone please make some donations to buy out Dravid? The man won't budge.

Can't afford the 5 cents!!

[nafajafam]

228-1

[Raz]

Can someone please make some donations to buy out Dravid? The man won't budge.

Someone should try it and then we maybe will hear another "What the hell" quote from Waqar.

[cavin420]

i would luv to see the pindi n freedi combo..........plzzz forget about dani boy!!!!! bowl him in the 2nd innings dont bother in this one!

[nafajafam]

Uneventful over, Danish looking his usual impotent.
228-1

[Somali Pirate]

[Slugger]

you can't just overnight prepare a bitey pitch pakistan's soil...punjab winter...PCB's resources...when have we had aus sa or eng type wickets in pakistan or india? we simply can't! 3 bowlers only because our batting had to be solid...even with 8 batsmen we still get just about enough runs...

[umarbeast]

out

[nafajafam]

OOH!!
A timley breakthrough, Laxman tries to cut and the extra bounce does it. Kamran takes a good catch

[cavin420]

beautifull delivery frm kaneria laxman goes back onto the back foot for a cut....gets the top edge kami says thanko very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boy did we ever need that!!!!!!!!!!bring the little master out now!!!

[nafajafam]

its winter mate.. the pitches do not deteriorate as much.. Inshallah we will still win this game.. Danish takes a wicket inshallah more to follow

[Raz]

Now lets gets Sachin early!!

[MIG]

For all those bickering about why Pak has taken less wickets - listen up:

We batted first - we set the pace for the game cos we want to win it. When you do that ( as in the case of Sehwag) you lose wickets -

India on the other hand, know the target and with nothing in the pitch to bother them are making their way to a known target.

In such conditions, it is difficult to get wickets ( when the team isnt really trying for runs etc )

Hopefully this will put paid to this crap over number of wickets etc

And you also need to be extremely blind or blindfolded not to have notices the difference in the potency of both bowling attacks.

[the_game]

just 3 genuinee bowlers in playing 11 is attacking,preparing flat pitches inspite of having so called best pace attack sure is attacking! :14:

Look at this nonsense first Oxy bhai. The trolls post here just for the kicks. It's better to insult them into oblivion than to let them ruin the thread.

Troll or no troll...when a Pak fan says stuff day before about their bowlers, and they happen to remind us of it-we just have to take it. Thats why crazy predictions/bravado comments end up biting you on the backside!

Any genuine trolling is being dealt with....

[cavin420]

we just need one more wicket ........n then might have a gud chance of getting some quick wickets!!!!!!

[madaboutlfc]

Pakistani crowd shows class by cheering a good knock by an opponent.. I heard a pin drop when Afridi made his second fastest century in an ODI and that great knock in the last test match in India..

[Raz]

Tendulkar off the mark with a single through square leg,

241-2

[Oxy]

What a long wait to see Tendulkar this series!

[Raz]

Shoaib coming into the attack now replacing Afridi.

[cavin420]

2 more overs till the new balls due............some prob with this old ball........its being changed now

[badxhah]

What a long wait to see Tendulkar this series!


What long wait to any see any indian batting in the series

[Raz]

Looks like they will change the ball as the seam looks to have been taken apart.

[Oxy]

Good move-get a replaced ball...see if it reverses, if not-go for the new ball...another YK master-stroke?

[cavin420]

simon toufel nearly injured pindi express what was he thinking...another aussie conspiracy perhaps :D

[nafajafam]

Taufel just stepped on Shoaib's foot!! :))

[Raz]

88.3mph loosener from Shoaib, still on target though!

[nafajafam]

241-2
Pindi to bowl

[nafajafam]

A good innings by Dravid nontheless

[karachiite]

[the_game]

I have to say, Farhat is doing everything he can to make up for that screw-up yesterday! He has fielded at point quite well today.

[cavin420]

[nafajafam]

Dravid has left the field and Yuvraj replaces him

[Oxy]

Y Singh-dont rate him...lets get him!

[inzidabest]

[Bailan]

May be he can try getting a spot on his fielding alone .... but that will be highly doubtly ... although he saved some nice fours today

[cavin420]

[Oxy]

Run Out looked like Sachins fault.
