[waquas_uk]

West Indies 12/2 (6.4 ov)

looks like lara will have 2 save them again

[shabbu1]

and now Sarwan goes, Windies in big trouble

[Civil]

Oh man i cant wait to face these guys, we'll win our first series there for sure.

[Daoud]

It seems like Sarwan and Gayle are waiting for our series to get back into form

Windies are a ***** team

[waquas_uk]

dont speak too soon guys

[Naz]

This team is soo similar to pakistan.

first 3 jokes go in the first 10 minutes,-- taufeeq umar, farhat and hameed, then inzamam and yoyo recover just like lara and chanderpaul.

[SM]

23-3

[Oxy]

Windistan move onto 60-3.

Lara/Shiv both on 23*

[Toony™®]

118-3 Lara 60* and chanderpaul 42*

*denotes not out

[GamBiTT]

Good recovery !!!

[Toony™®]

130 for 3 (43.0 overs)

[Officer Barbrady]

They are a very very ordinary test team.

[HAFRIDI]

go LARA!!!!!!1

[Toony™®]

156 for 4 (50.0 overs)

Lara 83 not out

[Love and Theft]

slow over rate again...who is the referee

[Toony™®]

167 for 4 (52.0 overs) @tea

[Officer Barbrady]

Lara on 91 now 172/5 once again the rest of the team fails to make even small contributions.

For those watching: how's the pitch and the bowling?

[GamBiTT]

Lara 100* (140)

This guy just keeps GOING !!!!

[Officer Barbrady]

100 for Lara and he once again delivers when his team needs him most.

[Toony™®]

any1 access cricinfo?

[DM]

Fidel Edwards is playing - potential 100mph man to face Pakistan

I can't bear us facing faster bowlers than our own - we must find our lightning bowlers

[Officer Barbrady]

no it's down. Apparently the Indian staff quit after the Pakistan tour disaster. I checked the scores on cricbuzz.com

[hasan316]

Lara is the best. people i can see Pak getting whipped by Lara. I just hate there bowling attack.

[Toony™®]

****.com??? ...

[GamBiTT]

Cricket365 reporting that: '... it is a dead flat wicket ..'.

Pakistani bowlers will need a lot of discipline to attack Lara.

[DM]

we need to break his defence with a 156kph ripper

[hasan316]

its easy to get sachin out but with Lara its a different game. may be he will core a 500 VS PAK. Pak will win the test series cause 1 man cant always save his teem.

[Officer Barbrady]

it gets censored I guess because the site address is similar to a rival site.

it's www.cri!buz!.com

replace the ! with a 'c' and the second one with a 'z'.

[Toony™®]

210/5

[karachiite]

Anyone watching this match?? Is lara playing well or is it useless medium pace bowling by S.A. Is Kallis bowling?

WELL DONE BC LARA for another innings in crisis

:D> :D> :D>

[hasan316]

Lara is too good. he again made 60% or 70% of the totla score made by WI. GO LARA

[sehsan]

any link guys so we can enjoy his batting also :)???

[hasan316]

another 150 by LARA. 28Th century. he will leave sachin behind with this form. good luck LARA go make 200.

[GamBiTT]

Lara 150.

Over 81.. WI 260/5

New ball just taken ...

SA pacers better get Lara's wicket with the new ball; otherwise, it is gonna continue to be carnage.

[Officer Barbrady]

Lara 150.

SA pacers better get Lara's wicket with the new ball; otherwise, it is gonna continue to be carnage.

Does this answer...
81.5 Ntini to Lara, FOUR!!, short and pulls it beautifully to mid wicket region, Lara is one FIRE!!
81.4 Ntini to Lara, no run, looks to pull and misses, ball rolls back to the bowler
81.3 Ntini to Lara, FOUR!!, good length ball, on the off, goes back and smashes it to sweeper cover region, long chase there for the backward point fielder, but the ball crosses the rope
81.2 Ntini to Lara, no run, plays it back to the bowler
81.1 Ntini to Lara, FOUR!!, overpitched delivery on the off, smacks it to sweeper cover boundary, no one moved as the ball raced away like a bullet!!

[DM]

look who's trying to be Afridi :G

but seriously - unbelievable batting by Lara

Watch out for Fidel Edwards!!

[sehsan]

koi link hi de day yarr or any video?

[GamBiTT]

Lara GONE for 176. Bowled by Nel.

WI 286/6 86.1 overs.

SA may be able to wrap it up soon now. 300-325 only by WI should be a very reasonable target for SA to chase in the first innings.

Another gem by Lara (or someone else .. ?? not likely by someone else) NEEDED or SA go up 2-0 in the test series.

[Amjid Javed]

west indies 296 all out

s.africa 142/0

seems west indies attack is very light weight at moment

[Khalil]

South Africa now at 152 without loss and the windies have an uphill task of still getting the following players out

Smith
AB de Villiers
HH Dippenaar
JH Kallis
HH Gibbs
MV Boucher
AG Prince
N Boje

ouch!

[Amjid Javed]

s.africa 185/0

100 for graham smith

[Amjid Javed]

smith gone to bowling of chris gayle

S.A 191/1

[shabbu1]

finally....

[Officer Barbrady]

Any one watching the match....thoughts on de villiers ?

[Muddaser]

Very solid batsmen with hardly any flaws considering he is only 21 years of age.

[nadeem]

What speeds were the windians bowling at please bros?

[Daoud]

Does it matter what the speed was, if none of them were able to take a wicket? ;-)

[nadeem]

As u know daoud, to me it does matter for some reason daoud :)) :)) :))

[Amjid Javed]

:D :D nice west indian ladies been shown on tv ;)+ ;)+

S.A 284/1

lol

[Amjid Javed]

the crickets boring at mo...

It was nice to see Lara bat cos he was on fire but other than that I'd rather watch the stadium at Galle being rebuilt!

[Amjid Javed]

:))) :)))

[NorthStar]

is there a Galle WebCam...these SA batsmen are boring

[Khalil]

S.A 394 for 3 with a lead of 100 and yet these guys are betting under 3 runs an over. It's this type of mentality that drives people away from Test Cricket

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

kallis just hit a nice 3 down the ground - he has to pick it up - he is the key

[Lightning]

Man only the auusies, pak and india bat at over 3-4 RPO in tests. If windians bat like this vs pak they will lose.

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 446/4

kallis batting as a snail as per usual

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

playing for a 100 i guess again

DROPPED

BLOODY BROWNE AGAIN - he is very poor at keeping

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

just snatched at it - off gayle to prince

[Amjid Javed]

S.A 451/5

PRINCE GOES

gayle gets his 3rd wkt gr8 catch at 1st slip

[Officer Barbrady]

How many catches have they dropped this inning?

I think Bravo should be a permanent member of the squad. They need more players like him who at least show commitment in the field.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

hopefully boucher can put the foot on the accelerator

[Amjid Javed]

answer - to many X)

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

8 bowlers have been used by the windies!!!

[pak_all_the_way]

s.africa are a bunch of thugs man. the way they celebrate hundreds and catches, they act like muppets
