[Bailan]

"Jab bowling karta hai bari awaz nikal ta hai magar ab bilcool chup hai"

thats the indian 'kanjar' *feel free to edit the word if required* mentality ... after coming to canada, i have seen it nuff times ...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well tea is over lessee how long we can last

[The_Cricket_Devil]

1st ball sami goes lbw lol

[tahaqureshi]

smee goes first ball lbw to kumble

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i bet you john wright is playing a game on his laptop instead of looking at charts all day long :P

[The_Cricket_Devil]

here comes kaneria

[Bailan]

lets hope this games puts an end to a few carears ... including

1 - Inzi's captaincy carear
2 - Younis Khans batting carear, may be he can come later as a bowling all-rounder
3 - Khalil's bowling carear
4 - Sami's bowling carear, he can try taking Younis Khan's spot though as a batsman ... he lasted more deliveries ...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i disagree with all of that except 3

[tahaqureshi]

i hope kaneria can play spin well...usually fast bowlers play fast bowlers well and spinners play spinners well

[Hussain]

I wish this kolkatta crowd holds its nagging reputation and disrupts the game so that we can save this test match

[shamid]

how about T Umar's opening career.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea set fire to the stadium in celebration cmon guyz

[tahaqureshi]

[Sage]

Salman Butt
Shahid Afridi
Younis Khan
Inzamam-ul-Haq
Yousuf Youhana

Danish Kaneria

[Hash]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Sage]

hey sage put in razzaq instead of arshad and thats what i want

No :-D

[The_Cricket_Devil]

heh u know they wont drop razzaq neway

[tahaqureshi]

well it depends what the pitch in bangalore is like

[The_Cricket_Devil]

27 or so overs till draw lol yea rite

[Sage]

Razzaq and Khalil should be nowhere near our Test team

[tahaqureshi]

is there any chance of bad light or is the sky too clear?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Is naveed fit now neway

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Khalil shouldnt be around a cricket ball period

[Sage]

A net bowler getting international Test caps?

Ridiculous.

[tahaqureshi]

less than 22 overs left in the day...these need to bat out even in the mist unorthodox of ways...like dancing up the wcket to stop the ball..anythng...they just shouldn't get out

[Bailan]

AGREED!

[MIG]

80.1: Kumble to Khalil, Khalil breaks into Bhangra - Bucknor stops the game - SRT pointing to the sightscreen......

[The_Cricket_Devil]

plus im sure india would get more time to get em out because its last wicket so id say about 30 altogether fromnow

[pakmandanish]

just a question of time

:oD :oD :oD

[Bailan]

Khalil shouldnt be around a cricket ball period


Khalil for Middle order batsman, already played more deliveries then alot of our batsmen.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

depends wat u mean by PLAYED he has let go almost all of em

[Sage]

Khalil shouldnt be around a cricket ball period


Khalil for Middle order batsman, already played more deliveries then alot of our batsmen.

Yes then we can have the first ever 0 a/o score off of 85 overs |-K

[tahaqureshi]

less than 20 overs left...

90.1 Kumble to Khalil, comes hoping down the track, sits down and nudges the ball away, then scrambles back to the crease, Pakistan looking real desperate here

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hey hye partnership off the mark after 39 balls

[Annie]

1 - Inzi's captaincy carear
2 - Younis Khans batting carear, may be he can come later as a bowling all-rounder
3 - Khalil's bowling carear
4 - Sami's bowling carear, he can try taking Younis Khan's spot though as a batsman ... he lasted more deliveries ...

it always does come down to dumping inzi doesn't it...he's always the one at fault when really our batsmen are a disgrace...our bowling is quite 'shorthanded' on this tour so there is little inzi can do about that...but of course lets chop and change like always happens

younis' 100 didn't do enuf?? he is a player we can count on for good support, that's the kind of role he plays in the team

all i do agree with is khalil being kicked out and fast...he is rubbish!

sami will have to fix his bowling...he definitely needs guidance, but I think many of us know he's capable of a lot more than he's coming up with...he just needs some guidance...

shoaib has been missed on this tour (can't believe I'm saying this)..but he has been..and chances are bleak that he will join the team for any part of this tour

so as it stands... we are 1-0 likely and now will have to level this series which every1 knows we are capable of doing ;-) i don't see how these 2 can last so many overs frankly...good luck to them

[The_Cricket_Devil]

91.1 Harbhajan to Kaneria, No Run, Kaneria Hoiks the ball into the air and it knocks out everyone magically and unrealistically Pakistan win by Default

[Sage]

India win

[tahaqureshi]

THEY WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and that is it...well played India

[Annie]

Razzaq and Khalil should be nowhere near our Test team

come on...u're saying this even after razzaq's knock in test 1!!

that's it...we've lost...

india wins and leads 1-0

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well time to sleep now --yawn-- Pakistan deserved to lose and prolly Kumble or Dravid will be given man of the match see ya everybody hopefully we can get India in the third test

[Annie]

it absolutely bugs me when ganguly is happy :-*

[Sage]

Razzaq and Khalil should be nowhere near our Test team

come on...u're saying this even after razzaq's knock in test 1!!

that's it...we've lost...

india wins and leads 1-0

Annie, Razzaq was in the team as a bowler, not a batsman.
We need specialists for the next test, not an attrition bowler and a bat who cant play spinners on turning tracks

[Annie]

so who instead of razzaq then?? and plus he's bowling well, that alone (seeing how g8 our bowling attack is w/o r and s) validates his inclusion

[Bailan]

it always does come down to dumping inzi doesn't it...he's always the one at fault when really our batsmen are a disgrace...our bowling is quite 'shorthanded' on this tour so there is little inzi can do about that...but of course lets chop and change like always happens

I am refering to when inzi' let the advantage slip by sleeping on the field, and match after match this trends continues ... rather sad, even Imran Khan and other greats agree with anti-inzi-captaincy club.

younis' 100 didn't do enuf?? he is a player we can count on for good support, that's the kind of role he plays in the team

it did, and then everything he gained was taken away by that stupid DUCK he made, point is that his avg. remains under 40, and in tests, no one under the avg. of 40 should be acceptable, heck in Taufeeq Umar outshines him in this department.



all i do agree with is khalil being kicked out and fast...he is rubbish!

Fair enough.



sami will have to fix his bowling...he definitely needs guidance, but I think many of us know he's capable of a lot more than he's coming up with...he just needs some guidance...



shoaib has been missed on this tour (can't believe I'm saying this)..but he has been..and chances are bleak that he will join the team for any part of this tour

Disagreed, its been our lack of taking catches that have put us on the backfoot always backed by some sleepy captaincy.

so as it stands... we are 1-0 likely and now will have to level this series which every1 knows we are capable of doing i don't see how these 2 can last so many overs frankly...good luck to them

Agreed, best of luck to them

[MIG]

Whoops there goes gravity......

Lets get this straight - NONE of our batsman can play spin - why do you think Kumble has 7 wickets - Razzaq doesnt need to be singled out for all our ills at the drop of a hat u know - look around - Inzi,YK, Umar,Yoyo, Akmal they were also in the team - plus you need Razzaq experience as a bowler - he was the only one reversing in the first and 2nd innings....

[Bailan]

just for the record nothing against Razzaq ....

[sameer05]

INDIA WON.............THEY DESERVED IT
