Test 2 Day 5 Discussions and Score Updates [20/03/05]

[tahaqureshi]

India were in control of most of the fourth day of the second Test between India and Pakistan in Kolkatta. Apart from the early over Indian jitters thanks to Mohammad Sami, India were soon in the driving seat with batsman Rahul Dravid and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik piling on huge runs. Dravid went on to make his second test century of the match and Karthik missed out on his maiden century by just 7 runs. Once these two fell, thanks to some good bowling from Danish Kaneria, the remaining Indian armour seemed fragile and weak and soon belted with captain Saurav Ganguly declaring at 407/9. Soon after, Pakistan's master blaster Shahid Afridi entertained the Kolkatta crowd - although how much they actually enjoyed it is another story - with his electrifying stroke play, with 2 huge 6's. Paired with opening partner Taufeeq Umar, these two had an opening stand of 93 runs before Afridi fell to some intelligent bowling by Anil Kumble in the penultimate over of the day.

The stage is set for a classic finish as Pakistan press for victory to achieve 327 in 90 overs with 9 wickets in hand.

Please place all discussions and score updates here.

[sajjad]

im surprised this thread is not made by the great AJ himself..

[tahaqureshi]

well since he's not here...i thought id do it incase he doesn't show up at all..and considering there are only 25 minutes left to start of play

[catwoman]

Go Pakistan :-~

[The_Cricket_Devil]

This should be a very nerve racking day making it more absorbing than the odi's could be possible and if Pakistan can bat without losing many wickets they can get at least a draw if not a win

[tahaqureshi]

well im hoping for a win...i can't see pak batting out full 90 overs with a target of just 327 with 9 wickets remaining...we will either win or lose, no draw

[catwoman]

I'm hoping for a victory - it can be possible if we bat sensibly. No losses though! :-^

[tahaqureshi]

Good morning and welcome to the live coverage of the fifth and final day's play
We have reached the climax and it's going to be an absorbing day's cricket, that's for sure]
Pakistan require another 327 runs, India need another nine 9 wickets.
It's advantage India. Pakistan need another miracle, they have done it before, can then do it again is the big question?!
India will be frustrated that the pitch hasn't deteriorated as much as expected, and it still playing easy, if a bit slower.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Ok so Ganduly hasn't tampered and rigged the pitch :p

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Cats on a hot tin roof? wth is that supposed to mean

[tahaqureshi]

indians have played AGAINST their natural instincts and not tampered with the pitch :oD

[MecnunK]

we dont know that yet!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Lol So Karthik's mother always travels with him eh? thats nice to know first ball to be bowled here we go

[The_Cricket_Devil]

HOLY S H I T WAT FIRST BALL STUMPED WE ARE DEAD

[tahaqureshi]

way to go.........95-2...first ball gone...

stupid YK

[The_Cricket_Devil]

That has to be the absolute dumbest shot i have seen played to a full toss down leg side...now comes inzi...

[the true passionist]

the day starts with "the end"

[Oxy]

Oh dear.

Amjid's gonna have field day with this one.

I'm taking cover!

[MecnunK]

Oh My god!

[the true passionist]

Inzi might go early..
we can't affort to lose a wicket before lunch..
to save the game!

[Sage]

Idiot!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Aj deserves to insult Yk for that crap he woulda had a better chance swinging it for a six...he just bowled the same thing to inzi and he played it why coulnt gay k

[Oxy]

...I was going to call Kartick a mummy's boy...then I was going to refer to the massive cracks in the pitch...then this went and happened!

[tahaqureshi]

well well....inzi comes ahead of yoyo..i wonder y?

[octavian]

*** was YK doing ???

But again, he's already sored way too much in first innings

[Sage]

Inzi's regular position is 4, tahai
He came at 5 in the last innings because he was sick

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Nice ball there by Kumble that killed Taufiq :P wat bounce lol Im sure inzi is there to take the advantage away from India

[Oxy]

...and Flirta-P avoids having the sex change (if YK had scored 150 runs in this test!!!)

[Sage]

4!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea thats the shot Inzi

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well that was not out but after wat happened to yoyo dont even try

[MecnunK]

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..

[tahaqureshi]

oh ok Sage

[The_Cricket_Devil]

...3 appeals in a row and they dont even pitch in line he is gonan get fined for this bala

[the true passionist]

Inzi once again expected to score 150...to take the game to the end of the third session
otherwise...miracles dont happen every day..
india getting mad with apealing..

[tahaqureshi]

FOUR!!!!

[octavian]

Akmal followed up his ton with a duck 1

Yk doing the same. I wonder what they think after scoring a ton !!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o yea shot there!!1 Kumble just got his ball barely touched by inzi and it is punched for 4 take that

[MecnunK]

does Inzy have a plan..well I'll be damned!!!

[Bailan]

any fans that might have had added to teh MYK fan club have all resigned from their association with the club with a very stupid way to throw the wicket ...

atleast afridi makes contact when he gets out ...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Octavian it must be the way they think of balancing their avgs out :P

[the true passionist]

But i appreciate Inzi..
came in ahead of Yoyo..
means mentally he want to do well here..
but whether he can do it...only time will tell

[Lightning]

OMG

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wth they are appealing for everythin say sumthin umps this is ridiculous

[octavian]

Octavian it must be the way they think of balancing their avgs out :P

:oD :oD

[The_Cricket_Devil]

it seems that everytime the ball is hitting sumthing instead of the bat for PAk Bhindia appeals

[MecnunK]

wonder what the instructions for taufeeq are:

play it cool and sta or play your natural game..

[The_Cricket_Devil]

u see they appeal agn and it was so much down the legside...dum ass bala

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!

[the true passionist]

balaji needs to be handed a full match fee penalty

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Instruc for Taufiq: Get a 100 and we will buy u so many ladoos and praise u so much u will be the next miandad

[MecnunK]

is bala swinging/seaming it quite a bit? he is hitting pads alot accordin to commentry

[octavian]

Kalaji has lost his mind. Appealing for damn thhing. And yesterday the morons at ICF was accusing Kami of over-appealing

balaji needs to be handed a full match fee penalty

if you havent figured it out yet, Indians will do anything to win. rough up the pitch by running on it, false appealing...all they care about is winning, they have no integrity whatsoever.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

it is going so much down leg side and he is just appealing for everythin like a **** hole

[tahaqureshi]

don't these guys ever learn???

i mean they don't care about their income do they? next thing u know..EVERY indian player will be fined 100% match fees :oD

[The_Cricket_Devil]

They will have to pay to play soon enuff :D

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Nice fielding there from Bala kicking it away from himself thats the standard i tell ya

[tahaqureshi]

thats hilarious.. :oD

18 more for taufeeq for his fifty

[The_Cricket_Devil]

make that 16 more for his fifty playing well here

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if say some1 like moin khan was on the other side they coulda easily made 3 or more runs on that shot but inzi there..

[kasoo10]

I have a feeling that today belongs to Taufiq. He will do something significant today.

[kasoo10]

Anyone know if first ball stump is ever heard before. I think this is a record. I will ask Steven.

[tahaqureshi]

these indians can't stop talking about how yk got out..thats all they have to cherish

its not about the first ball, its the way he did it. what was he THINKING!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes Taufiq will bat long enuff to make his hunger for parathas enuff on his way back

[The_Cricket_Devil]

And kumble now joins the useless appealing party

[MecnunK]

its not about the first ball, its the way he did it. what was he THINKING!!!!!

very little..

[kasoo10]

It is a good chance for Taufiq. He is batting with oneof the gaints. Inzi should have some good tips for him.

[tahaqureshi]

but sadly, if he makes a century here, he is still bound to be dropped for the ODI series

[The_Cricket_Devil]

now wat the hell was he appealing for!!??? I am gonna personally go there and slap Kumble and the rest of the *********

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Do u notice how Kaif just keeps randomly coming on to field when he wants to prolly Laxman overbloated his injury to get kaif to field..laxman vs kaif in fielding skill wat amazing likenes....

[catwoman]

This constant appealing and jumping up and down like little frogs is seriously pissing the hell outta me!! |-F |-F

[the true passionist]

india needs to be given an official warning right now for excessive apealing...
it was a mile outside off

[Oxy]

I can see intothe future:-

Balaji will get fined for incesant appealing (so much leg side stuff)

Anil Kumble-could take all 10 wkts. That ball is singing for him today saying 'yes your master, anything you say master'.

[tahaqureshi]

well lets look at the bright side..since the ********* only eat veggies...they will lose all their energy in appealing and jumping, so soon they will be exhausted and we can really take advantage of this

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I hope inzi hits the ball up kumbles uterus to get him to shut up o and bala too!! pissing me off this useless shouting i hate the sounds of their voices anyway and this is doing nothing but adding on to it

Kumble screams like he is in labor. and he squats while he is doing so!!

[sajjad]

indians starting well
but Inzi looks in a dangerous mood today

[sajjad]

balaji not troubling inzi so far

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Kumble screams like he is in labor. and he squats while he is doing!!

:oD :oD :oD

[catwoman]

Kumble screams like he is in labor. and he squats while he is doing!!

:oD :oD

[The_Cricket_Devil]

If these two bowlers can **** Inzi off enuff he will hit the ball down their throats literally and rip their balls apart

[sajjad]

Kumble screams like he is in labor. and he squats while he is doing!!

:oD :oD :oD

all thats left is Ramiz saying

"Kumble is hoping to deliver here today"

[catwoman]

:oD :oD :oD

I'm having serious doubts about Kumble's real gender now

[sajjad]

If these two bowlers can **** Inzi off enuff he will hit the ball down their throats literally and rip their balls apart

hmm..i find it hard to picture that happening |-K

[MecnunK]

easy now, that was an image I could have done without!!

[tahaqureshi]

"but Inzi looks in a dangerous mood today"

but the indian commentators are saying that inzi is not looking too fluent today? anyone wanna explain further?

[Sage]

OUCH!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Ramiz "Kumble has recently taken up confident public speaking and has been helping his wife as to how to handle a baby coming out with his labor like screaming"

OMG AS I TALK INZI IS BOWLED HOLY CRAP

[tahaqureshi]

OUT!!!!!!

[sajjad]

inzi gone

hit the pad, n carried onto the wkts

[catwoman]

DAMN IT!!!!!!!

[catwoman]

We've lost this now :o^

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wat is up by aamer sohail..."Inzi never looked comfortable and survivded many lbw shouts" WHAT LBW SHOUTS THOSE WERE JUST retarted!! Aamer is pure Bhindian i tell ya

[kasoo10]

Who was it that said Inzi's actual position is no 4. Is this true b/c I think in Mohali as well Inzi came at number 5.

[sajjad]

i hate kumble

[sajjad]

pakistan crumbling

india ecstatic

HORRIFYING SCENES WITH BALAJI CELEBRATING

[catwoman]

What the f is going on here?!!!?!!!?!? $%#$%#$%#$%#$#^!@#$

[kasoo10]

What? Is Taufiq gone??????

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nvm..

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes kasoo Taufiq was caught in slips almost immediately after Inzi got out

[tahaqureshi]

well well well......wat a start for the indians..we can just shut up now i guess...

because as far as im concerned, asim kamal and yoyo won't be able to do much together..one of em will go..then razzaq will go, then kamran will go, then the tail will go for 2

[catwoman]

I feel like killing someone!!!!!! |-F |-F |-F |-F |-F |-F

All is lost now |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n |-n

[sajjad]

India bowling really well
pakistan not batting well under extra pressure

[kasoo10]

Circinfo is sort of frozen. No update.

[catwoman]

I can't believe what I'm watching |-S |-S |-S |-S

[161]

and the collapse begins.. how typical !

[Awesome Anjum]

Game over.

[tahaqureshi]

so three wickets lost in the space of 20 runs..

very good batting...hats off to pakistan

[Oxy]

Pitch NOT to blame for any of the wickets. Quite simple SUPERB bowling

[Naveed]

We need another Razzak/Akmal miracle

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Cricinfo prolly has a pakistani writing right now and he doesnt feel like writing about it

[sajjad]

taha, u were so optimistic
what happened

aamir conitnuing with his bamboozling comments

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Forget superb bowling it was stupid batting..

[catwoman]

I hope we'll be able to survive till lunch atleast |-F |-F |-F |-F

[MecnunK]

can we make it to lunch I wonder..

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea Aamer is completely Bhindian i tell you

[Naveed]

it's called choking under pressure.

[CrickFan]

so my prediction did come true ..i was expecting them to crumble by lunch ...captain and vice captain leading the way ...the way the batted like clowns after 273/2 in the first innings ..they deserve to lose ..

[Oxy]

My wife asked me to wake her up for the 2nd session.

Could be over well before then!.

Inbterestingly, I started cooking my breakfast about 30 mins ago. Breakfast is still not ready...but the wkts down.

Im not in the mood to eat.

[tahaqureshi]

well i don't think Allah's plans are to give us a victory because the way inzi got out..it was VERY unlucky..

he didn't do anything wrong!!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

They have shot themselves in the foot before any pressure was even mounted...I am not gonna allow Pakistan to use pressure as their excuse

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o look the 1st positive comment for Pakistan by Aamer Sohail he called Youhana a world class player

[MecnunK]

Fajr time and prayer for Pak time..

[catwoman]

No chance of rain either |-S |-S |-S

[tahaqureshi]

well sajjad i am still optimistic..

i will remain optimistic until razzaq and kamran have both been sent back to the pavillion..

thats the only tim ei will accept defeat..

i am still optimistic..and i don't care wat anyone says here...yoy and kamal are both capable of giving us victory

FOUR!!!!!!!!!!

[Sage]

4!!!!!!!!!

[sajjad]

india bowling well with the crowd behind them

[161]

lets face it - we somehow manage to survive in ODI's - but the true nature of our team can not hide in a test match .

[CrickFan]

Allah helps those who help themselves ...not a bunch of inconsistent performers who don't care a damn about the millions of Pakistani fans ..They will never learn ...If they have to lose ..i hope they lose badly ..so that there is a national outrage ..and people either stop watch Pakistani cricket ... These bozoz will be selling paan in some paan ki dukaan ..

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and i had read isha namaz just before this day started here (11 52 now) and prayed for Pak to do well guess my prayer hasnt reached Allah yet...neways nice 4 by yoyo

[catwoman]

4!!!!1

[MecnunK]

Only 300 needed for a win ;)

[The_Cricket_Devil]

You notice how Kumble is wearing his old school cricket cap i think it was the one he wore in the 99 series thinkin itll bring him luck lolz

[sajjad]

pakistan cmon
we can play out 80 overs

[tahaqureshi]

i will not lose hope until we are 7 wickets down...
i am still optimistic

[catwoman]

I have lost hope now |-S

[Cricketer]

I think pak have them selfs to blame.. in 1st innings they could have applied them selfs better and get the lead...
Game over for Pakistan.
we need another miracle to save this game.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i am not losing hope until i see up to Sami get out

[MecnunK]

pak batters under tremendous pressure...

[tahaqureshi]

297 runs more needed..which can be obtained

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lolz

Sanju - "I would have thought Kamal looks from Karachi he has that tenacious look to him, his tenacity"

[Awesome Anjum]

maiden over from ik pathan

[The_Cricket_Devil]

3 wickets fallen in 30 runs...

[sajjad]

pakistan on the winning track

[The_Cricket_Devil]

AND ANOTHER ONE! GR8 SHOT

[Sage]

Go Asim!!

[tahaqureshi]

are asim and yousuf aiming for a victory here? thats wat it seems like

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think they are batting the way it should be putting pressue on India by making pretty good balls disappear to the fence

[tahaqureshi]

if they make too many balls disappear to the fence, then we'll end up winning..we sure don't want that

[MecnunK]

I hope they temper their aggression, we can still draw this...

[Geordie Ahmed]

C'MON PAKISTAN! there is still hope yet!
We need a big innings from KAMAL and YOYO!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

salay bandar appeal par appeal kartay rehtay hain...dil karta hai kai bhindia ko balon say maroon

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I have never understood what harbhajan was actually stretching waving his arms like a machine

[tahaqureshi]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[MecnunK]

72 overs left to get through..

[Geordie Ahmed]

72 overs??? that seems like a life time!

if we can get to 50 overs we should complain about the light and sightscreen

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Arun - "That would have been curtains for youhana if he hadn't hit it with his bat"

the hell kind of a comment is that isnt that wat cricket is about getting out if you dont use your bat!!??

[the true passionist]

well at the end of the day...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hahah The ********* said good bowling jumbo to Kumble lol JUMBO

[Sage]

[Geordie Ahmed]

:oD :oD :oD @arun

[octavian]

If i was Darrel Hair I would slap Kumble and tell him to shut up , when returning his cap.

[MecnunK]

"38.6 Kumble to Youhana, no run, played to short leg, off the pads, the ball was going down the leg, appeal"

appeal again..this could work for us you know, f they keep on annoying teh umpires like this..they may get refused a genuine shout..

[the true passionist]

but never take it easy or too hard.

[sajjad]

[tahaqureshi]

we can win

[MecnunK]

70.

[kasoo10]

[Geordie Ahmed]

"38.6 Kumble to Youhana, no run, played to short leg, off the pads, the ball was going down the leg, appeal"

appeal again..this could work for us you know, f they keep on annoying teh umpires like this..they may get refused a genuine shout..

Cricinfo has it on it's live scorecard

[tahaqureshi]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Some of the balls have been pretty unpredictable but it isnt nearly as bad as ppl had said it to be

[kasoo10]

[tahaqureshi]

trail by 267



we can win

[Kashif]

Bad start guys, but we still have some batting. The wicket has not deteriorated and is still a decent batting track.

I like the way Asim/Youhana are playing. We need them to hang around till tea if we want to win/draw.

[tahaqureshi]

trail by 266


we can win

[pakmandanish]

now we can start to think in a loss
because if they really make a draw out of it we can cheer even more
but a loss is more realistic..

[MecnunK]

68 overs left and 25 mins to lunch!! stay sensible!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

So now manjrekar thinks the differentiating factor between Pak and India are that indias first class batting avgs are better (50-60 for ind to paks 40) and KUMBLE APPEALS LIKE A FOOL FOR AN INSIDE EDGE THAT EVEN MANJU NOTICED

[tahaqureshi]

yoyo survives lbw decision



we can win

[the true passionist]

Ravi about Kamal..

"Keeps things simple"..

i agree...plays each ball on merit..

[Muddaser]

So now manjrekar thinks the differentiating factor between Pak and India are that indias first class batting avgs are better (50-60 for ind to paks 40) and KUMBLE APPEALS LIKE A FOOL FOR AN INSIDE EDGE THAT EVEN MANJU NOTICED

We have Misbah Ul Haq and Hasan Raza who average in the 50s.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yea that was pretty biased by manju true bhindian if i eva saw one

[MecnunK]

kumble trying his tricks on yoyo...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

25 mins till lunch keep it up Pakistan

[sajjad]

67 overs left now

[tahaqureshi]

this will turn into an ODI type innings..



we can win

[the true passionist]

i see people talking that the pitch is not that bad..
i do not quite agree....
the variable bounce is quite bad...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

my god another appeal....now even the crowd joining the cheating appeals nice way india is going...

[the true passionist]

And Bocknor laughs at the appeal

[MecnunK]

66 overs to go..

[pakmandanish]

yoyo survives lbw decision



we can win

please be honest to urself(!)

[The_Cricket_Devil]

when even sucknor laughs at a not out u know it was a really fruited up appeal

[The_Cricket_Devil]

"Over Optimistic" is all the negativity ravi can come up with the crapp appealing going on finally manjrekar agrees they are appealing excessively

[the true passionist]

a mile outside leg...
