These people need to be shot...

[Rana]

pulled away ran3

[iZeeshan]

Nice smooth action...spot on first ball

[Disco_Lemonade]

hahahahaha.... welcome nazir

[Salman]

Oh dear... i think you'll want Sami back very soon...

[b0wld]

Shahid Nazir in...finally inzi has woken up

[umarbeast]

This should be our bowling Moto


"We try not to bowl like Sami".

[iZeeshan]

And a short ball from Nazir is pulled away for 4!

[khanjib]

Pretty soon Sami's loose deliveries are going to effect Guls performance.

[Rana]

nazir wannabe pulled!

[iZeeshan]

But no, well fielded...

[Salman]

Nazir's bowling around 80..

[zMario]

Sigh, wheres Khalill when u need him :)))

[Nauman]

Come on Nazir

[Bilsher007]

Asalaam alikum WR Wb Brothers;

Sami :))) , I seriously believe now this guy has sifarish, how else can such a useless bowler in history of pakistan cricket get so many chance. Gul bowling well the other end and sami sucking the other end.


Thanks to Almighty Allah that shahid nazir is into the attack. :19:

[TaxiDriver]

now sami better calm down and bloody field well.

C'mon Nazir....it's not that hard to be better than that opening spell from sami!

[Rana]

lovely delivery

[Nauman]

Good ball to Strauss

[Zeenix]

Sami should not only be out of the Attack he should be kicked back home and confined to be a bowler who gives practice in Nets to Club level cricketers. ************

[Salman]

Lovely Ball from Shahid

[asifp]

hey atleast he is getting a little bit of SWING

[TaxiDriver]

Wa'Salaam....

[Blistering Barnacle]

Nazir went for a few runs in that over but he looked more dangerous to me than Sami already.

[Asim2Good]

SAmi 22 off 4 overs
Gul 9 runs off 4 overs

[Rana]

35-0

[asifp]

yeah Inzi see who u should have given the new ball

[Salman]

once again... good first over..

[iZeeshan]

Well bowled by Nazir. all sorts of trouble.

[zMario]

Woo, Nazir bowling good :D

[Nauman]

Its time for a wicket now, bohat mazzaq ho gaya hai.

[Bilsher007]

WOoow What a delivery to strauss from nazir. Razzak is actually injured i think that's why he is'nt playing, that means pakistan are playing with four bowlers and seven specialist batsmen.

[Salman]

Ok Gul & Nazir in tanden could be intresting...

[Rana]

goo movement

[shan]

is there any hope of taking wickets with new ball?

[Salman]

WOoow What a delivery to strauss from nazir. Razzak is actually injured i think that's why he is'nt playing, that means pakistan are playing with four bowlers and seven specialist batsmen.


Noddy was saying he's out of form?

[Amir]

Rameez is stupid. The 20 20 does not get alot attention back home from our selectors only fans...

and does Moyo have his own fan section everytime the ball is hit to him?

[Rana]

tried to pull but bottom edge instead!

[Salman]

is there any hope of taking wickets with new ball?

yes, when England bowl.

[iZeeshan]

Gul is getting swing, but not in the right places.

[b0wld]

alrite guyz...am off for some fresh air...pakistani bowlers arent getting the swing which means its gonna be a llloooonnnggg day of eng batting... see u all in an hour

[Rana]

4, this time done correctly

[Salman]

Tresco, nice shot

[Blistering Barnacle]

Great shot for 4 by Tescothick.

[Bilsher007]

SAmi 22 off 4 overs
Gul 9 runs off 4 overs


Pakistan made all the right changes except dropping afridi and retaining sami. Afridi should have played and in place of sami there should have been niazi.

[PlanetPakistan]

Salam guys!
Just woke up,how is everybody!

So guys how can i hear the BBC commentary! I just got a new modem and installed the real player, what should i do next?

[Rana]

4!!

[Disco_Lemonade]

hahaha... short balls .... 4's

[Blistering Barnacle]

Another 4. Even easier. Gul bowling a few stupid balls here.

[Nauman]

meh Trescothick on a pulling streak.

[zMario]

Sigh, get Kaneria on, see what happens

[iZeeshan]

Wonderfull pull from Tresco...that will up his confidence.

[Salman]

And again, Gul getting creamed this over....

[Salman]

Sigh, get Kaneria on, see what happens

What happens, 100 runs will happen

[zMario]

What kinda crappy bowling is this?!

[Rana]

quick single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iZeeshan]

Sweetly pulled away again for 4. Horrible bowling right now...

[Bilsher007]

Gul bowling badly this over, has given two needless boundaries. Inzamam needs to set more attacking field and stop looking worried !

[zMario]

What happens, 100 runs will happen
Does it matter? lets declare the bowling now

[iZeeshan]

England running really well. Getting all the quick singles.

45 runs in the first 10 overs.

[Salman]

Good ball by Nazir again..

[PlanetPakistan]

guys how can i listen to the BBC commentary! I just got a new modem and installed the real player, what should i do next?

[Oxy]

Dear dear me.

With all due respect to Gul, Sami and Nazir - the shyte thats been served up so far would embarras me if I was to bowl that.

Traditionally, teams bowling first at Headingley in OVERCAST condition have made quick breakthroughs and caused mayhem in the minds of the batsman.

Awful, awful bowling

[Amir]

Our bowlers do not look threatening at all....we very well may be playing for a series draw.

[Blistering Barnacle]

Very frustrating watching this. I don't agree with the team selection. What is Sami doing in the team? Razzaq was better than him in the last few tests. If Razzaq was dropped, Sami should have been dropped too.

[UJ]

We need to keep attacking...pitch the ball up and look to get some swing!!

[Oxy]

guys how can i listen to the BBC commentary! I just got a new modem and installed the real player, what should i do next?Yu cant - its UK only

[zMario]

Good first ball by Nazir!

[PlanetPakistan]

Our bowling lacks both quality and depth so let's hope for the best

[zMario]

Yu cant - its UK only
No, you can listen to TMS from Overseas....

I'm doing it right now!

Don't listen to Oxy PlanetPakistan :P

[iZeeshan]

Bowling, Shahid, bowling..

[UJ]

guys how can i listen to the BBC commentary! I just got a new modem and installed the real player, what should i do next?
Here you go

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/default.stm

[asifp]

now someone please xplain how Woolmer and Inzi kept on seelcting Sami over Nazir

[KA$H]

nazir pitching it up

[Nauman]

Good fielding by Taufeeq

[Disco_Lemonade]

Salam guys!
Just woke up,how is everybody!

So guys how can i hear the BBC commentary! I just got a new modem and installed the real player, what should i do next?
close all windows... shutdown... and sleep again...... rubbish bowling from pakistan continues.

[pak4life]

our next bowler is mr kaneria who wil not take a wicket until his 30th over things do not look gud already!

[iZeeshan]

Well driven, but well fielded by Taufeeq.

[shan]

close all windows... shutdown... and sleep again...... rubbish bowling from pakistan continues.

better idea :19:

[Blistering Barnacle]

Yu cant - its UK only

Nah, it's also available in Australia, so I assume would be available to many other countries.

[Nauman]

Another 4

[asifp]

ufffffffffff bowling Nazir , now only if he had the new ball , i am sure england would have been one down.

[iZeeshan]

Well bowled by Shahid again. Better then Sami, at least.

I wonder how Niazi wud have fared...

[Disco_Lemonade]

short... wide... fourrrrrrr

[Blistering Barnacle]

4

Starting to get painful.

England 48-0.

[Amir]

I thought there was aBBC online radio?

[UJ]

I don't know how a 4 man attack will work if we dont get early wickets.

We lack options!!

[iZeeshan]

Gul losing it. Wonderfully cut away.

[zMario]

Sigh, what will we do?

[Amir]

To be honest, I cannot see us winning this test match with this bowling line up.

[Amir]

Sigh, what will we do?

Hope for a draw now and just try to draw teh series when our pacers come back?

[Disco_Lemonade]

strauss sr 90.6

[Salman]

Shot by struass off Gul....

50 UP

[asifp]

Sigh, what will we do?


what will the poor crowd do, the ticket should have been if Sami played ticket back ,

[Nauman]

Yet another 4

[iZeeshan]

England going at a healthy run rate of 4.07

[zMario]

I heard a catch it...

[TaxiDriver]

C'MONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN PAAAAAAAAAKISTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

CONCENTRATE....IT'S STILL EARLY DAYS....C'MONNNNNNNNNNNNN!

mr Noddy bhai...get this message to whoever your contact in the pak team is....do us all a favour. I don't care about who's coming up into the team and all that prediction stuff....just tell them to play like professionals...just do that mr noddy bhai.

[iZeeshan]

Edges away for 4. 50 up for England!

[Blistering Barnacle]

Sami will have to come back soon, because Gul can't bowl forever.

[Salman]

Nazir is bowling an excellent line...

[Disco_Lemonade]

52-0 nazir bowling

[asifp]

i hope how Nazir is bowling is a slap on the face of Inzi and woolmer for giving sami ONE LAT CHANCE

[iZeeshan]

Not bad, Nazir, not bad at all.

Makes us wonder a lot of things.

[P4K1 #1]

cmon pakistan... guys we gta stay positive...

[Salman]

Nazir Fastest 84 mph, average 81.6 mph

[UJ]

Inzi's captaincy will have to step up for this test match with only 4 bowlers. He has to use them effeciently as well as setting the right fields etc.!!

[Disco_Lemonade]

good bowling nazir... around 84/84 mph

[Big Mac]

What the hell happened there, Harmison will be licking his lips

[Salman]

Ouch in the cheast!!!

[PlanetPakistan]

Here you go

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/default.stm
Thanks bhai!
well the BBC link didnot work however i am listening to the commentary on a different site! So Nazir bhai doing well, no wickets yet

[Disco_Lemonade]

luking yke nazir gonna take wkt... InshAllah!!!!

[umarbeast]

huh?

[Salman]

Why diddn't Nazir play earlier tests...... damn

[Disco_Lemonade]

16 overs gone... 52-0

[Blistering Barnacle]

If Sami has any brains, he'll bowl flat-out when he comes back and go for pace. The 81.2 MPH bowling doesn't suit him at the best of times.

[zMario]

What the hell happened there, Harmison will be licking his lips
:(

[Salman]

Ahhhh Sami Back

[Disco_Lemonade]

sami on for gul

[slix10]

This sucks.

We need a wicket.

[PlanetPakistan]

macho man is back!

[pak4life]

well bowled shahid best spell of bowling by pak bowler all series

[zMario]

Sami is back - I'm gonna close my eyes now

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan really isn't going anywhere. This bowling will easily be punished. The only light I can see is a mistake from the opners.

[Disco_Lemonade]

sami.. time to get aaaannngggrrrryyy!

[iZeeshan]

Sami on for Gul.

[PlanetPakistan]

oh dear misses his run up!

[Disco_Lemonade]

better first ball... single... atleast not a 4 :D

[zMario]

oh dear misses his run up!
Its not the first time...

[Salman]

Same again.. no ball

[Blistering Barnacle]

Sami bowls a pretty second ball but it's a no ball. Poor Sami has no confidence.

[Disco_Lemonade]

2nd one no ball.. gud 1st 3 balls

[asifp]

Samiullah and Shahid Nazir making fun of Sami

[Disco_Lemonade]

4... 58-0

[iZeeshan]

Now that you mention Azhar Mahmood, he really should have been recalled. England is his home!

[Blistering Barnacle]

Great shot for 4. What poor selection for the team from the team management!

[Salman]

gone for 4

[pak4life]

atleast sami is consistent!

[asifp]

i hope, this opens Inzis eyes when Sami is bowling so awful he cant turn to anyone else.

[Blistering Barnacle]

Another!

[Pakola]

Sami Sucks Man!
He Sucks

[iZeeshan]

Beautifully driven for 4. Short and wide, punished. Man even I am starting to hate Sami.

[UJ]

4 by Tresco...6th 4 for him

[asifp]

atleast sami is consistent!

consistently the worst bowler ever

[Pakola]

Cant Sami just bowl ONE ball straight as a mistake.

[Salman]

4 more for Eng

[zMario]

I'm leaving now, this is crap bowling

[asifp]

oh God Sami on his own will cost us the series

[Disco_Lemonade]

62-0 17 gone

[Amir]

Sami just needs to go all out. He has nothing to lose....literally....his spot is pretty much gone now.

[Blistering Barnacle]

Cant Sami just bowl ONE ball straight as a mistake.

Lol. You got your wish. A straight dot ball.

[PlanetPakistan]

62 for 0!

[iZeeshan]

And 4 again...

[pak4life]

yasser arafat bowling well again for sussex

[Blistering Barnacle]

What is Pak going to do now? Ask Kaneria to bowl already?

[PlanetPakistan]

Hoggard on his home ground+ Harmison+ Monty+ Saj!

[Salman]

Nazir is unclucky, bowling great...

[Blistering Barnacle]

Nazir is bowling well.

Whatever the management has done with Sami, he looks a mess.

[the Great Khan]

great bowling from sami..gives hope to trundlers like me..i mean if he can play so can i..

[Pakola]

Sami just needs to go all out. He has nothing to lose....literally....his spot is pretty much gone now.

bhai he IS going all out.
The sad part is this is the BEST his talent can do. He's lost his pace completely. Sreesanth is consistently faster.

[asifp]

good job Sami getting the batsman in , now poor Nazir will have a hard time getting a wicket

[Amir]

tresco just stand s here and puts his bat...i wonder if he knows he has a bat

[Blistering Barnacle]

Beautiful bowling from Nazir. Let's hope he has some luck and gets the breakthrough.

[deviously~fading~away]

Nazir is bowling well.

Whatever the management has done with Sami, he looks a mess.

I think what you mean to say is: What ever Sami has done to Sami, he looks a mess!

[sharuk]

Sami being completely outbowled

[Pakola]

Nazir's bowling slower than sami and getting more bounce.
Ooohh.. close.

[Salman]

Damn.... Not Out .....

[Amir]

bhai he IS going all out.
The sad part is this is the BEST his talent can do. He's lost his pace completely. Sreesanth is consistently faster.

He can bowl faster and we all know that.

[SameerAhmad]

enough of this trash bowler!!! =(

[PlanetPakistan]

some good news
http://dawn.com/2006/08/04/spt10.htm

[asifp]

What Bowling Nazir

[zMario]

That was fkin out!

[iZeeshan]

Big Appeal...not out

Close though

[deviously~fading~away]

bhai he IS going all out.
The sad part is this is the BEST his talent can do. He's lost his pace completely. Sreesanth is consistently faster.

Quite wrong lad. Sami is "NOT" going all out pace. According to commentators & from what I see he is trying to bowl line & Length.

[Amir]

that was otu?!?!?!?

[iZeeshan]

Drinks...

There was a noise...

[Salman]

some good news
http://dawn.com/2006/08/04/spt10.htm


Junk... Asif not comming....

[asifp]

there was a noise there , i thought so too , and reverse swing Botham agrees with me

[UJ]

Hopefully its just a matter of time before Nazir gets a wicket!!

[sharuk]

Now are all of you convinced comparing Nazir and Sami that Sami is a rubbish bowler

[Blistering Barnacle]

I think what you mean to say is: What ever Sami has done to Sami, he looks a mess!

I don't think so. Sami has been trying to bowl line and length and that's a mistake. He's bowling just the same as he always has in terms of line and length, but he hasn't got the pace to really trouble the batsmen for the odd good ball he bowls.

[Imy]

sami is bowling in the low 80s

[Amir]

Now are all of you convinced comparing Nazir and Sami that Sami is a rubbish bowler

Comparea non international bowler like myself and you can tell he is rubbish.

[ali_ed2006]

there was a late reaction from nazir too..so prbly not out

[Blistering Barnacle]

I don't think that was out, but it was close.

[deviously~fading~away]

Lads lets get behind this team whether the players we want in the team are playing or not. Pakistan needs to win or hang on for a draw in this match to stay alive in the series!

Go Pakistan, Inshallah we will do good in this match.

[Bilsher007]

To me strauss was out caught behind off nazir. Darrel hair decides not to give it out. What you guys think ?

By the way sami 52 runs off 5 overs. :)))

[zMario]

Hopefully its just a matter of time before Nazir gets a wicket!!
Yep! :)

[asifp]

show the freaking replay he was out

[Blistering Barnacle]

Sami looks suddenly to be bowling with a bit more fire now, after drinks. By the way, it was 32 off 5, not 52.

[Muhammad]

"Lads lets get behind this team whether the players we want in the team are playing or not. Pakistan needs to win or hang on for a draw in this match to stay alive in the series!

Go Pakistan, Inshallah we will do good in this match."

Well said!

[Salman]

That was out, noise was there....

[Amir]

I love how a Pakistan edged it they would get snicho and hi motion camera. Strauss does it....uhl......we must continue with the play!

[Nauman]

That was out, snickometer just proved it.

[Pakola]

Quite wrong lad. Sami is "NOT" going all out pace. According to commentators & from what I see he is trying to bowl line & Length.

Then will u agree that if Sami IS trying to bowl line and length then he's failing miserably?

[the_game]

Lads lets get behind this team whether the players we want in the team are playing or not. Pakistan needs to win or hang on for a draw in this match to stay alive in the series!

Go Pakistan, Inshallah we will do good in this match.

I'm a die-hard supporter, but I refuse to back players like Sami who have been tested over and over and over and have still failed to do anything.

[Amir]

DArrel Hair at brilaint umpiring again!

[TaxiDriver]

just found out Hair is the umpire....man we are F#cked.

Strauss should have walked ...efiing cheating bastar#!

Their captain has set up his cheating stall with his buddy boy Hair.

[Salman]

"Lads lets get behind this team whether the players we want in the team are playing or not. Pakistan needs to win or hang on for a draw in this match to stay alive in the series!

Go Pakistan, Inshallah we will do good in this match."

Well said!


Please.... We maybe irational fans, but were not muggs...

[Amir]

NOw Gower just trying to justify it was not out. What he has to realize its frame to frame.

[Nauman]

Well what do you expect when Hair is the umpire.

[asifp]

Chalo bhaiiyaa, Daryl Hai , one not out

[Bilsher007]

Snickometer in replays shows strauss was out, nasser hussain and david gower discussing the replay.

Sami bowling now :69: :69: :69: :59:

[Muhammad]

Sami's just bowled 3 consecutive dot balls, he's turning a corner!

[Blistering Barnacle]

Hey guess what?? Sami got one!!!

[Pakola]

Every international teams knows that they should bowl FULL to strauss but that isnt happening. He's VERY solid on the back foot as most compact pl;ayers are. Get him driving straight.

[Salman]

Out!!!!!! Sami catches

[jafrioh]

Yessssssssssssssssssssss

[asifp]

HOOOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAY , Mohd Sami has an average of 49 :))) :)))

[UJ]

GONE!!!

Tresco gone!

[PlanetPakistan]

Out!!

[Big Mac]

haha, well done Sami. Thought he'd dropped it and was about to put the laptop through the TV

[pak4life]

omg sami there is hope

[KA$H]

great great reactions

[Nauman]

wow that was unexpected, good catch by Sami though.

[PlanetPakistan]

M SAMI gets him!

[Salman]

67/ 1

[Blistering Barnacle]

And you know what? I noticed he was bowling with more fire after the drinks break. As if he was saying, the hell with this line and length crap!

[ali_ed2006]

Sami Strikes

[zMario]

Sami got it...

[asifp]

HOOOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAY , Mohd Sami has an average of 49 :))) :)))

damn its below 49 again :((( , now we have to see him for another 28 matches

[Pakola]

Sami got a wicket.
ALL THE CRITICS HAVE BEEN SILENCED!
Sami has redeemed himself. All his detractors must eat crow. Oh how humbled i am.

[SameerAhmad]

Oyeee Out Sami

[KA$H]

ball hit him in the chest - how demoralising would it have been if he'd dfropped that?

[PlanetPakistan]

Cook comes in!! YORKER please

[the_game]

Almost screwed up. Nazir deserves wickets to be honest, not him.

[iZeeshan]

Wow. Great catch by Sami.!

Woohoo! Sami got a wicket...Sami got a wicket. Who wants out of the team now? HUH?

[Bilsher007]

Sami takes a wicket !!! trescothink caught and bowled by sami..amazing ! Trescothick looks cross with himself.

Sami finally does it ! :O ..shukar hai ALLAH ka.

[deviously~fading~away]

I don't think so. Sami has been trying to bowl line and length and that's a mistake. He's bowling just the same as he always has in terms of line and length, but he hasn't got the pace to really trouble the batsmen for the odd good ball he bowls.

Lad when you know that this might be your last test match, it is time you become a man & do what you want to do. Sami has bowling line & lenght for some time now & has failed consistently so maybe its time he stands up and goes all out pace or he might be sitting in the dressing room for the next match! It is not the team managment who will get dropped its Sami. So maybe he should fight for his place? I am sure the team management won't mind it if Sami goes for runs but picks wickets as well.
Blaming his failure on the team management won't help anyone especially Sami!

[Amir]

Sami takes a wicket!!! Comet hittign earth!

[asifp]

now whoeevr says Sami is unlucky should slap themself, i dont think anyone get bowl more crappier and get a wicket.

[Muhammad]

I said he was turning a corner, but that's a complete U-turn!

[Pakola]

And you know what? I noticed he was bowling with more fire after the drinks break. As if he was saying, the hell with this line and length crap!

Hopefully thios wicket will put some wind in his sails but thats what i said the last time he took a wicket and it never happened.

[ali_ed2006]

I still want him out of the team

[Pathan007]

that was clearly out. but Nazir didn't appeal.

[asifp]

Wow. Great catch by Sami.!

Woohoo! Sami got a wicket...Sami got a wicket. Who wants out of the team now? HUH?


yaar even if he takes all 20 , it doent erase the toture of 5 years, kick him out

[Bilsher007]

I don't want cook to make another easy 100, get him out first ball. Pakistan needs quick 3/4 wickets.

[TaxiDriver]

Yes Sammiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I Love Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

ps...now keep it up you bastar#

[Amir]

Sami got a wicket.
ALL THE CRITICS HAVE BEEN SILENCED!
Sami has redeemed himself. All his detractors must eat crow. Oh how humbled i am.

How have we been silenced? Its one wicket. Last time I checked there is still 5 days in the mathc left and his eco is still higher than anyones this series!

[iZeeshan]

Sami laughing. Nice sign. This should up his confidence. Though the bad news is that the medium pacer Sami goes on!

[Pakola]

yaar even if he takes all 20 , it doent erase the toture of 5 years, kick him out

:19: :19: :19: :19:

[the_game]

Wow. Great catch by Sami.!

Woohoo! Sami got a wicket...Sami got a wicket. Who wants out of the team now? HUH?

I do.

[iZeeshan]

Nazir getting the ball to move a lot. Tht good.

[jafrioh]

No matter how many wickets Sami takes(unless its all 20) in this Test match he doesn't deserve a place in this Test test, maybe he could go to Zimbabwe and be their Strike bowler

[Zeenix]

That Freaking bastar# Hair

[KA$H]

Come On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pakola]

Maybe a Sami hat-trick would reduce my feelings for Sami from utter dissapointment to mild bemusement.

[Salman]

Gone!!!!! 2 down

[UJ]

Strauss Gone!!!!!!!

[umarbeast]

Come on Sami we support you and see you bowled with a little more aggression you got a wicket. Keep at it.
