the true passionist
20th March 2005, 04:47
for me kamal is already the best Pak batsmen of the test series..
Although he might not end up as the top scorer...
But he has and will play crucial knocks..
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 04:47

The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:49
@pakmanndanish u shouldnt lose hope so quickly we have had setbacks bu these two are going nicely and we always have razz and akmal still in the dressing room it aint over yet by a longshot imo
MecnunK

161
20th March 2005, 04:50
@tahir
WE CANNOT WIN(!)
WE ONLY CAN LOSE(!)
agreed is these batsman start playing for a win- we will surely loose- they just need to get into razzaq mode and survive as long as possible- only 63 overs left- they can do it.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:51
haha there is no ac in the commentary box and finally one appeal worth shouting for..
pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 04:51
sorry :)
oh u mean akmal this little fellow who scored how many runs in the 1st innings under pressure, and now under huge(!) pressure.. he will definetely score a triple century -> NO WAY(!)
hopefully this both can survive till the middle of postlunch session..
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:51
nvm big inside edge there
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 04:52
pakmandanish, don't make me say more stuff
we can win
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:53
well even if akmal could score a 300 there arent that many runs needed for victory a 100 is all i ask :P
Naveed
20th March 2005, 04:53
Kumble's got to be getting tired
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 04:53
still appealling like constipated rhinos.
the true passionist
20th March 2005, 04:53
yeh pakistan should play for a draw..
But dispatch the bad balls...for sure
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:53
yea naveed all the appealing must be hurting his throat by now lol :oD
pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 04:54
Pakistan require another 257 runs with 6 wickets remaining
Required run rate - 4.08
a victory would be possible only if these two players can survive til the middle of post lunch session
the run rate can climb up til tea to 5-6 runs per over and still there would be hope
the problem is only theseboth WONT survive
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 04:54
FOUR!!!!!!
we can win
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:54

4!!!!
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 04:54
47.5 Balaji to Youhana, FOUR!!, turned it to fine leg, Sachin dives but he could not cut that one off
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:55
i dont think the run rate will be as much a prob its just wickets we have men who can slog when required so that isnt a prob just survive and we have a chance
pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 04:56
:) 1-2overs left til lunch..
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 04:56
last over before lunch, if we don't lose a wicket here..
we can win
Sage
20th March 2005, 04:57
4!!!!
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:57
ugh not a gr8 shot there by kamal but he follows it up with a gr8 boundary!
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 04:58
48.5 Harbhajan to Asim, FOUR!!, short and punished by Kamal, rocks on the backfoot and cuts that to deep backward point
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:58
1 more over till lunch id guess just play it out and we are in a much better position than it looked like we would become in
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 04:58
248 req'd to win
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:00
i donno why the last over of play before lunch is so amplified to a wicket tho why is that are the batsmen in a hurry to eat or something?
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:01
wat was that by youhana.....tho it is not out it was retarded
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 05:01
49.4 Kumble to Youhana, no run, played to short leg defensively
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:01
pak survive till lunch
Awesome Anjum
20th March 2005, 05:02
49.5 Kumble to Youhana, no run, on target, Youhana inexplicably leaves it alone, ball hits his pads and rolls over and was very close to hitting the stumps, lucky for Youhana
MecnunK
20th March 2005, 05:02
what the hell is yoyo playing at!!
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:04
india win the session
but batting will be easier now
so we can draw it still
badxhah
20th March 2005, 05:05
If u look at dravids innings there was not one ball that he padded upto.
This Series Kumble has 3-4 times of Inzy's wicket.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:05
Pak can still win this if this pair survives 248 runs req'd and a min of 60 overs remaining (4.1333.. rr req'd) it isnt the worst case scenario
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:06
actually dravid padded quite a few balls of his 110 run innings when kaneria came around the wicket
badxhah
20th March 2005, 05:11
actually dravid padded quite a few balls of his 110 run innings when kaneria came around the wicket
Ard the wicket is different not much chance of LBW
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:13
60 overs left right?
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:14
yea i guess so badx kamal has so far batted pretty well and chancelessly while yoyo looks a lil edgier i pray for thse two to get tonnes today and i could die a happy man :D
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:15
yes 60 + half hour of overs if a result is possible = rest of match
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:15
pakistand shud think of it like that
just 360 balls
may sound like a lot
but they can bat out 360 balls if they put thier mind to it
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:16
they should think thats just 360 more balls for them to kick india's ass in
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:19
yes 60 + half hour of overs if a result is possible = rest of match
they dont get the extra 30 minutes on the last session of the last day do they. who decides if they get it or not
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:20
i think it is up to the umps to decide and usually happens if like 8 wickets are out or like 20-30 runs are needed to win
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 05:21
well its not too daunting a taks as long as the wickets dont fall
we can win
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:21
hmm
im kinda confused by that now.
i thought it only happened if there was anpother session to be bowled. so that the players wudnt have to come back on again
surprised its done at the end of 90 overs on the last day also.
chalo 66 overs then
thats 396 balls
commone pakistan
sajjad
20th March 2005, 05:22
itll be a big WIN if we can draw this one out
pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 05:23
why would be batting easier?
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:24
I will settle for Pakistanis to go for a draw if both of these guys get out before Pakistan gets 300-350 until then go for the win guyz
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:25
well pakmandannish i would suppose as the temp gets much more bearable it eases fatigue making batting easier
Hydro
20th March 2005, 05:26
listen if these 2 get tonnes its game on
then itll leave around 90 and i think we cna scrape 90 from the tail
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:29
if not a ton if yoyo, kamal, razz and akmal can all get past half centuries we have a gr8 chance but maybe that is a bit too wishful
Hydro
20th March 2005, 05:30
i believe as long as these 2 get scores
we still have chance
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:31
totally agree hydro
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 05:32
totally agree hydro and cricket devil

The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:37
hey Ravi has to keep consoling all indians by saying how india got aussie once at 5th day lol
mumtaz
20th March 2005, 05:38
hey the half hour can only be added in case there are exactly 9 wickets down, it cannot be done in case 8 wickets are down and it cannot be done even if only 1 run remains to win.
though i am not sure if it can be done on the last day on other days it can definitely be done.
more than 60 overs can be bowled within the stipulated time, so if 60 overs have been bowled and there is still some time left in the day, match wud continue till the end of time
in the last hour of the last day, it is mandatory to bowl at least 15 overs, so if more than 75 overs have been bowled in the day when the last hour starts, the match would continue until the 15 overs have been completed in the last hour, so its possible that both 90 overs have been bowled and time is up but match still continues because of this rule.
hope that clears up the situation somewhat.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:39
they have done it in the past if there is a chance of result and light is still good plus do u really think India would bowl faster than they have to ? :P
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 05:40
actually...thats made it a bit more comlicated but no harm done..we'll just wait for the plot to unravel
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:40

tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 05:55

Hydro
20th March 2005, 05:55

tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 05:56

The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:56
and 2 runs there end the 4 maidens
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:57

the true passionist
20th March 2005, 05:57

MecnunK
20th March 2005, 05:59
both batters playing with nerves!! need to calm down and focus..
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 05:59
i think bw has something to do with this prolly told them to go for a draw i think thats wrong at least this pair should play as they did pre lunch
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:00
they need to get runs now..
we can win
Hydro
20th March 2005, 06:01
rotate the strike

pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 06:01
now its only : SURVIVE
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:03
go for survival after this pair does wat it can they are slowing down to survival too early imo
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:03
to slow run getting....they have the ability to score the runs..they are not tail enders
we can win
sam
20th March 2005, 06:04

The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:06
7 overs 5 maidens 4 runs o wickets
thats wat has happened after lunch thus far
MIG
20th March 2005, 06:07
Another factor is the heat - in about say an hour - the Indian attack should start tiring - we must hold on ....
MecnunK
20th March 2005, 06:07
Indians creating good pressure here ..in last 7 overs only two runs..
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:08

way to go youhana!!!!
sam
20th March 2005, 06:10
the heat will take its toll... they should hold on and tire those fools. :oD
they are appealing like nobody's business and they'll lose their voices soon... that'll help coz they'll manage a small sqeuaky appeal for a real close one.
and the umps will turn it down. :-D
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:10
the ********* said something to youhana at the beginning of that over and it should be inspected
MIG
20th March 2005, 06:11
Yoyo goes and well the writing is on the wall ..... need to get to 250 now with no more wickets lost....
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:12

yoyoyo look who in da haoos..k akmal..
MIG
20th March 2005, 06:25
Kumble to Razzaq, out Bowled!!, wrong un, skidded through, Razzaq could not bring his bat down on time and that one shatters his stumps, Razzaq was clueless with that one....
RIP Pak....
161
20th March 2005, 06:25
well looks like that fighting spirit we showed in the last test was just a one time thing !!
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:26
well akmal gets 3 but i can say this is all but a matter of time here before Pakistan are cleaned up *sobs* :(
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:27
i don't see why kamal should even try to play safe......since its game over, im hoping he just tries to hit out to give us some entertainment
Sage
20th March 2005, 06:28
Game isn't over as long as these two are at the crease. If another wicket falls before tea, we've lost.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:28
its pretty sad that our highest score of this innings is 59 thus far and that too by afridid
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:29
game isnt over yet not to me until sami is out he can bat pretty well as well
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:30
agree sage..but the grim reality is..there are too many overs and not enough quality batsmen left
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:30
well looks like kamal is looking for a shot now
Sage
20th March 2005, 06:30
But we won't go for the win and we may be able to just bat out maidens from here on.
Hydro
20th March 2005, 06:30
i feel that these are the only hope left for Pak
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:31
these AND SAMI imo
Sage
20th March 2005, 06:31
VERY difficult to bat on this pitch, however
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:32

20th March 2005, 06:32

Yeh its just pitch, that so dumb

20th March 2005, 06:33

indians calling asim a youngster :oD

The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:34
maybe they mean cricket career wise :P
Kashif
20th March 2005, 06:34
We need a miracle of Mohali proportions to save the test now.
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:35
well they wouldn't really say 'youngsters' that sounds really in terms of age..
maybe they should say that these two amatuer batsmen or something
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:36
saying amateurs could prolly get em fined lol
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:36
im thinking of greater than mohali proportions..but dunno if it'll happen, asim doesn't seem interested anymore
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:36
ah he is actually 27
nufc
20th March 2005, 06:36
if he said amatuer batsmen it would have been an insult to pakistan!
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:37
not much diff...still not a 'youngster'
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:37
well that isnt the cleanest four 4 byes but the ball dies agn.
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:37
another four
Sage
20th March 2005, 06:37
if he said amatuer batsmen it would have been an insukt to pakistan!
Or it would've been a very accurate description...
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:38
well if it even matters anymore 223 to win lol
Hydro
20th March 2005, 06:38
65.4 Kumble to Asim, byes, FOUR!!, looks to take the aerial route over mid wicket, but the ball did not bounce at all and beat everybody on the way to fine leg
Pitch is hard to bat now
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:39
lol there are also bangladesh flags in the crowd (for pakistan mayb?) 4 by akmal good shot!

The balls are keeping low and odd one bouncing extra, so its playing on the players minds. Lovely cover drive for 4 by Akmal!

Dammit...out..... so when does the 3rd test start?
MIG
20th March 2005, 06:41
if he said amatuer batsmen it would have been an insukt to pakistan!
Or it would've been a very accurate description...
How about good bowling ? We missed our chance to bat them out on the 3rd day....

Well all I can say is we fully deserved to lose this match.
Idiot batsman squandered the advantage on the third day.

this may not even go till tea..
Kashif
20th March 2005, 06:43
True MIG, I believe thats where we lost it.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:46
lets all just start guessing how much kamal will score and final score my guess:
Kamal 80
Final Score 260

20th March 2005, 06:47
good shot there but good stop by balaji
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:48
and now is Sami on strike lessee wat can happen
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:49
lolz edgey 4 by Sami
Kashif
20th March 2005, 06:51
Our batting suffers from 'Rest-on-previous day's glory' syndrome. We have collapsed twice after a previous day's good work.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 06:51
213 runs to win :P
3 hrs to win for Pakistan afaik
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 06:53
pak is now half way to the required total of 422

Yk should be beaten up by rest of the players and Bablu...i dont care what he score last innings..anyways Balla in attck now..
i have half a mind of going over there to help out myself. how do you get out like that...how!!! the guy is a failure and doesnt deserve to be in the team let alone be VC!
Sounds like a good idea - how about chopping off their fingers one by one and then pouring salt on the open wounds and burning their homes and killing women and children as well - will that work ? Guys relax - its a game - we lost - with a better bowling attack we could have won easily.Just shows that the Indian attack isnt as superior as people make it out to be ....

46 for kamal Inshallah he will get a gr8 score he deserves it even if Pakistan lose this

if we pull of a draw....i'll be really surprised...but nonetheless happy and im hopefully right now too
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:00
i think there is a 5% chance of a draw now highly unlikely
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:02
in the back of my mind i always wonder what the diff would have been if we had any of our 4 other bowlers in instead of khalil. (Gul, Shabbir, Naveed, Shoaib) It was our bowling attack that made us lose and i think we woulda won if we had 1 of those instead of khalil
MIG
20th March 2005, 07:03
Sami defends well , doesnt he ?
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:05
yea he seems pretty confident in his shots unlike others in our lineup *cough*taufiq*cough*
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:06
and another maiden over
Sage
20th March 2005, 07:06
This should be Taufeeq's last match for a long time. Bring back Salman for the next...
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 07:07
37 overs left.....if we can get to 20 overs left without losing another wicket....i will be happy.
just waste time...and overs.
are there any clouds in the air? we can stop play due to bad light
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:07
I sincerely hope naveed is better for next test
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:08
lol no the day looks pretty clear (darn)
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 07:08
can't shabbir make it for the third test?
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:08
i donno if he is match fit
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:09
AND THERE IS HIS 50! GO KAMAL
MIG
20th March 2005, 07:09
how many over to Tea ?
tahaqureshi
20th March 2005, 07:11
half an hour to tea..
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:11
i think about 8 overs at least till tea
161
20th March 2005, 07:11
i agree that this should be taufeeqs last match - he has been given pleanty of chances but never looked comfortable or confident ---> i think malik should be given a shot as opener as he has just beat up on India this past year.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:12
there better be some miracle tea waiting for us in the back dressing room
Sage
20th March 2005, 07:12
Don't agree with Malik being and opener. Or Hameed, he's not an opener either.
Salman should never have been dropped and he should return for the Third Test.
Annie
20th March 2005, 07:14
okay so wat exactly will it take to draw this one??
this is seriously a bad performance overall...
afridi as usual has been the only highlight in this innings...and possibly after it has been asim's resistance and his 50...
the 3rd match will be ours ;-)
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:14
BRING SAEED ANWAR FROM HIS ROCKING CHAIR AND GET HIM BACK HERE
161
20th March 2005, 07:14
kamal has a very dravid like mentality of survive as long as u can and the runs will eventually build up - i hope the rest of our team can pick this up from him.
pakmandanish
20th March 2005, 07:15
with 9n wickets down there could be an anxtended 30minutes sesssion,so time isnt abig prob for india
Kashif
20th March 2005, 07:15
Dont think theres any chance of the crowd to start throwing things in the ground to help us postpone the game?
Sage
20th March 2005, 07:15
Welcome back Annie ;-)
Hussain
20th March 2005, 07:16
Well
the sami Kamal partner ship has already faced some 13 overs or so
35 more to go now
Come on Pakistan
Kashif
20th March 2005, 07:17
Khalil is no mug with the bat either. I am proud of the way these 2 are fighting it out.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:17
Kamal is the dravid of Pakistan and this is what the others should have done after yoyo got out
Sage
20th March 2005, 07:18
Our top and middle order shouldve shown the same resiliance.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:19
No Ramiz Results will come when the selectors dont pick the people who can give them the best backrub into the team and pick real talents
Kashif
20th March 2005, 07:21
We play too many odis and it shows in our batting approach....I say keep Asim Kamaal away from odis. Apparently the PCB are pressing for a 4th test against England and sacrifice 2 odis.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:22
Yea I say we should keep exclusive teams for each form of the game
Sage

First good thing the PCB's done in a while.
Hopefully the ECB will relent.

A hope for Pakistan
World record of 8th wkt stand: 357 by Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq
Ex World Record for 9th wktstand : 190 b/w Asif Iqbal and ******(dont rememvber his name actually)
World Record 10 th wkt stand: 151 b\w Azahr Mehmood and Mushtaq Ahmed
SO as these stats point out all the world records for the lower order stands belong to Pakistan
So our tail enders are not bunny wid the bat
The can put up a fight
MAy Allah bless them and Helpo them
Kashif
20th March 2005, 07:25
Dammit...well played Asim.
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:25
And Kamal has been caught he batted well but it was just a matter of time
Annie
20th March 2005, 07:25
so...wat exactly will it take to draw guys?!
do we have to bat out the day, which is possibly...though not likely...
that's it...asim gone...
bye bye to this match...onto the 3rd |-A
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:26
well uh caught not bowled
Annie
20th March 2005, 07:28

Hussain
20th March 2005, 07:37
Well Pakistan shud not give it up
Remember Sami and Shoib batted for one whole session in the first inns at Perth when whole of Pakistan inns lasted for about 70 overs .
Here he has to bat for one session also
so its all not over as yet
The_Cricket_Devil
20th March 2005, 07:37

Gotta expect that. Gamesmanship is all good. Not a place for niceties out in the middle.

20th March 2005, 07:57
