Pakistan Vs West Indies,Test 1, Day 4 Thread [29/5/05]

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Place all updates here - can afridi produce a master piece, or can asim battle. Will the rain be a factor or will the windies blow pakistan away?

Overnight scores:

West Indies 345 & 371
Pakistan 144 & 113/4 (23.0 ov) Pakistan require another 460 runs with 6 wickets remaining

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

sticky plz mods

[Abdul Qadir 236]

its to rain a bit on day 4 but monday is to be a cracking day.

[tahaqureshi]

still 12 hours to go

[Nauman]

Anyone who thinks Afridi will become Hanif Mohommad and save Pakistan's skin needs a reality check, there is nothing much to talk about in day 4 except wickets falling.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

well said Nauman, the way people talk u would think he was Sobers.

[Abdul Qadir 236]

4 wickets to fall - reminds me of Mohali :D

[Amir]

Anyone who thinks Afridi will become Hanif Mohommad and save Pakistan's skin needs a reality check, there is nothing much to talk about in day 4 except wickets falling.

Afridi will not become Hanif...he is Hanif!!!! Sorry I felt the need to be optimisitcly stupid for once. I deserve it after being so real throughout the test!

4 wickets to fall - reminds me of Mohali :D

but theres 6 to fall

[-( [-( [-(


listen stranger things of happend ( alothough very unlikely)

[161]

my prediction - if Fidel Edwards returns to bowl we should be gone by around lunch, otherwise we might just last the day.

[tahaqureshi]

otherwise we might just last the day

IF we do that, we will win..

according to current run rate, we need 93 overs to get the remaining runs.

but bro we goin at nearly 5 runs an over

[Amjid Javed]

game will be over at lunch @ earliest and tea the latest on day 4

salaam amjid bhai

thats a bit optimistic isnt for u

btw howz it goin

[Amjid Javed]

v.salam jjp, ive been ill for last few days but am getting better mashallah. otherwise all is well.

how r u?

exams left rite nad centre

2 more left make dua for me inshallh i pass with flying colours

inshallah

[Amjid Javed]

inshallah u will do well

[Hash]

Asim Kamal 172
Shahid Afridi 78
Kamran Akmal 110
Abdur Razzaq 75
Rana 25

= 460



oh and I just saw a pig fly.

[Pax]

Afridi to score a triple centruy as Pakistan chase the mammoth score before tea :D

[Hussain]

IF ever in his life Afridi has dreamed of establishing himself as a test batsman this is the ideal moment for him to do it

1) - He has plenty of time left in his hand
2) - HE does not have to worry abt any declarations frm the captain

3)- He is not under any team pressure to score quickly so he can play himself in
4)- Pakistan team is in a pressure cooker situation so if he perfporms today tht mean tht he has the mental toughness to be a gud test batsman

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

gary - u care to talk about the rest of the indian tour???? WHAT ABOUT AFRIDI MAKING that pregnant chamcha his bunny. Afridi a so called bits and pieces player and a odi specialist - and i know u have said worse about him BUT HE DESTROYED INDIA! ur chamcha attack look baffled, he tore apart kumble and the other muppets.

CARE TO SPEAK MORE ON IT? OR HOW ABOUT THE ODI SERIES

[Rob H]

Afridi to score a triple centruy as Pakistan chase the mammoth score before tea :D
He will chase down the total and not play for a draw

[tahaqureshi]

Knowing Afridi..when he comes out to bat he will either be thinking "Ima win this one" OR "Screw it, lets just go crazyyyyyy" -gets out 3rd ball again


HE WILL NOT AIM FOR A DRAW.

[Hussain]

Well guys though the target is looking too big to chase


but if we bat the whole of day 4 and even lose 4 more wickts today
then even a modest runrate wud get us some wht 350 runs in the day

so we ll be neding around 120 tommorow with 2 wickets remaining and tht is getable
if our tail supports our cause

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

that is true hussain, we could do ok - if kamal and afridi stay there for a while as they score fast.

IF EDWARDS IS NOT FIT

that leaves

king - distinctly average thus far, flukes his wickets in first innings and will get slapped about

collymore - swung the ball nicely - just play him out

powell - just wait for the bad ball - he provides his fair share

gayle - no real threat unless we try to be over aggressive


If we stay there a while they may use likes of sarwan

[Shohair]

why isnt the match starting?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Hash]

126/4

Afridi not out 42
Kamal not out 41

[tahaqureshi]

both of them have got good scores..into their 40's

they should convert into 50's or even 100 (especially for kamal) even if pak aren't going to win.

[Hash]

128/4

Afridi not out 42
Kamal not out 43

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well placed 4 by affy!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nice 4 by kamal its a hoick

[Amir]

Afridi on 46....can he get his test fifty!!!! It will be his third since his comeback if i am not mistaken(dont forget his 48 against aus)

[Hash]

heaved away to deep mid wicket for four

[Hash]

137/4

Afridi not out 47
Kamal not out 47

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 by afridi to get his 50 gr8 shot

[PakPassionate]

Great Six By Afridi....Out of the ground................. 50 for afridi

[Hash]

well played Shahid bhai

[Amir]

SIXXXXXX Fifty for afridi, it is his 7th

[Pathan007]

27.2 Collymore to Shahid Afridi, no run, guided to point
deep square leg fielder is installed for Afridi

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man this 5 + run rate is unneccesary they need to calm themselves

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by kamal for his fifty and a 100 partnership inshallah this will do well :D

[PakPassionate]

50 for kamal..... 100 runs for partnership

[pakistani pride]

hmmmm

[tahaqureshi]

FIFTY FOR ASIM!!!!!!!!!!


atleast SOME positives!

[Daoud]

Great stuff Afridi. Inshallah he'll triple his score by lunch :D

[Hash]

149/4

Afridi not out 54
Kamal not out 51

[The_Cricket_Devil]

aaj din hai kamal ko apna maiden 100 bananey ka aur phir 200 bhi lol the ball got stuck on his helmet :P

[Usman]

Both batsmen have their 50 now

[tahaqureshi]

at this rate, we need to bat another 79 overs.

[Hash]

150/4

Afridi not out 55
Kamal not out 51

[Amir]

Kamal almost out, lucky the ball wedged inbetween his grill and his helemt

[The_Cricket_Devil]

beautiful 4 by afridi great cut to third man wow this is how he should bat more often

[PakPassionate]

inshAllah centuries for both

[Amir]

I do not understand, why they did not bat like this in the first innings, instead of chasing wide deliveries.

[tahaqureshi]

Collymore to Shahid Afridi
short and wide outside off, comes on the front foot and opens the face of the bat to runs it down to vacant third man region for four

afridi playing smart Mashallah

[Amir]

This partnership is important, we may not win, but it will atleast we can save some pride and it will boost the teams morale to bat better next test.

Like in Mohali, Akmals inning sparked us to play well, had he had not done that and we lost bad, we would get slaughtered even more next test.

[tahaqureshi]

agree with Amir...any runs now are positives..

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by kamal nice shot down the ground by kamal

[Usman]

Asim hits a 4!

[Hash]

160/4

Afridi not out 61
Kamal not out 55

[tahaqureshi]

Gayle to Asim Kamal
comes down the wicket and drives it down the ground to mid-on for four

why they in such a rush, are they trying best not to get out by playing their natural attacking game? and not get bogged down?

[tahaqureshi]

good to see you back Usman!

[Usman]

I think that they have been asked to play shots while not attempting wild hits so that if we can somehow win then we don't need to bat all the overs, as taha said at this rate we only need to bat something like 78 overs more

[pakistani pride]

How is weatherforecast

[The_Cricket_Devil]

manjrekar takes every opportunity to get on afridi's case ollo ka ....nvm....

[PakPassionate]

Gayle to Asim Kamal
comes down the wicket and drives it down the ground to mid-on for four

why they in such a rush, are they trying best not to get out by playing their natural attacking game? and not get bogged down?
B'coz they knew k harna tu hai hi kuch kam runs say haaro :D

[pakmandanish]

Yes pakistan is going to lose
thats for sure
they are playing for quick runs
they have all the time
still more than 170overs
so only runrate of 2-3 would be ideal
but so we will see the wickets of afridi and ca. falling in no time

[Hash]

Manjreker is a fool.

[Usman]

good to see you back Usman!

Thanks, nice to be here again!

[Amir]

Yes pakistan is going to lose
thats for sure
they are playing for quick runs
they have all the time
still more than 170overs
so only runrate of 2-3 would be ideal
but so we will see the wickets of afridi and ca. falling in no time

Even if they play slow they will lose, this match is lost. But it is smart what they are doing, they are playing reverse psycholigly, making chanders go on defensive and then settle onto a innings. This sends a message for the next test.

[Usman]

Collymore gets an official warning.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kamal is out caught in the slips nooo....

[Daoud]

First official warning for Collymore. Comeon, two more :D

[spidy]

probably to unsettle the bowlers and confussed Chanderpaul (he is not that experinced)

[Raz]

Kamal gone! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Amir]

WHAT A IDIOT! The umpire wasnt givign it and he walked!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

now comes razzler lets see wat he can do

[Mercenary]

playing like this will unsettle the Windies for the next test match

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i just think the umps dont need to give that so obvious lol

why is it i tune in we lose a wicket

[Usman]

There are way to may overs to survive defending, not even a draw is in the picture anymore.

[Amir]

Lets hope Afridi can make a 100 for his confidence.

[pakistani pride]

No usman, asim ruined it we needed to bat this day out and see whar we scored at the end of the day but nouw i feel its over and out !

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wow abdul razzaq is lucky threre gr8 ball by collymore

[Usman]

Minimum overs
remaining today: 82.4

If only this was day 5!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if windies arent able to get us all out today i am sure we will win this (prays)

33.6 Collymore to Afridi, no run, outside off Afridi looks to clobber it over the covers, cant connect


easy tiger

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzler edges oit between keeper and slip lcuky man this isnt wat we need

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by afridi good shot :D

[Usman]

if windies arent able to get us all out today i am sure we will win this (prays)

For that we have to make sure we don't loose another wicket all day, otherwise we could crumble.

[Hash]

razzler edges oit between keeper and slip lcuky man this isnt wat we need

we don't need luck? What you going on about?

we need loads of luck!

[tahaqureshi]

EXACTLY!!!

we only need 399 now

oh the psychologoical impact of that

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i meant as in these edges arent wat we need hash

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i meant as in these edges arent wat we need hash 6 by afridi :D :D :D

[Hash]

174/5

Afridi not out 70
Razzaq not out 4

--------------

398 runs to win

Going at a rate of 4.97 per over which means it would take us 80 overs.

[Amir]

lets try to lose under 300, or this lost is worse than the one to aus in the first test.

[tahaqureshi]

lead less than 399, lets see how far these to can take it.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by a 4 lol

[Amir]

A SIX by Afu!

[Usman]

Pray to God that Afridi is there with Razaq at the end of the day.

[Shohair]

66666666 afridi

35.2 Collymore to Shahid Afridi, SIX, short ball and its played nicely
over the long-on for six


60 more them we are home

[tahaqureshi]

afridi set to get his century...I think he deserves it for all the passion he has shown

[PakPassionate]

Tony Cozier is saying If Afridi play for next 3 hours Pakistan have a chance of Victory.

[Amir]

Toyn Cosier: "IF he bats for these 3 hours, Pakistan could get this 573" that would be funny!

[Shohair]

4444444444

[Amir]

ALmost out next ball

[Hash]

Tony Cozier is trying to jinx him. He should keep his mouth shut.

[tahaqureshi]

soon the target will look like an ODI score..Afridi should think of it as if he is set to get his ODI double ton..thats the way to make a pathan like Afridi listen, give him incentives !! :)) :)) :))

inshallh we will if afridi there till the end of day

[Hash]

187/5

Afridi not out 83
Razzaq not out 4

I think if we finish at close having lost no more than ONE more wicket, we have a good chance of winning this match.

[tahaqureshi]

In reality the windian attack is toothless, Afridi needs to exploit that, mentally and physically :))

[Amir]

ALl our batsmen should have, they just threw it away.

[pakmandanish]

i believe that only afridi is our key to victory
so the moment he falls pakistans hopes for victory will be against minus 0(!)

[Hash]

192/5

Afridi not out 84
Razzaq not out 8

afridi

may allah guide him to victory ameen

[tahaqureshi]

If I were in their position, I would listen to really patriotic music like jyay ny aaroh or yeh maza zindagi ka by junoon to get the blood flowing and the hope/will rising.

[Hash]

Rzzaq needs to play a Mohali type innings. He better not try to copy Afridi.

[Amir]

Some poor captaincy from Chanderpaul, onyl reason he is goign to twin this is because of our poor batting perofmance in the first innings.

[tahaqureshi]

razzaq into double digits, he really should play well because the windians only have his favourites, medium pacers!!!!

there are NO spinners and NO quickies, Fido is off

or get hanif on the phone

liek hanif saya ah kardar goes to me u r pakistan only hope

Afridi you are pak only hope

37.6 Collymore to Shahid Afridi, no run, defends


shabash

the funny thing is only 12 overs of the dya have been bowled

[Hash]

196/5

Afridi not out 85
Razzaq not out 11

376 runs to win. Going at 5 an over would take us 75 overs.

[Amir]

razzaq into double digits, he really should play well because the windians only have his favourites, medium pacers!!!!

there are NO spinners and NO quickies, Fido is off

This pitch has alot of invariable bounce and Gayle is getting some real kick out of it, which is threatening, that is how Asim Kamal got out.

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi shouldn't get complacent after his century (May Allah give it to him)...he needs to aim to break his highest score - 141

[PakPassionate]

I am really proud of Pakistan that they went into this match with a fighting spirit although they know the task of them is too big.

razzaq needs to stay there for 2 days

[Tariq Jamshed]

razzaq will get out to gayle. he is that poor

[Hash]

razzaq will get out to gayle. he is that poor

He didn't seem to have any problems against Kumble and Chuckbajan in Mohali though, did he?

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi is taking singles off Collymore at will..razzaq seems to be struggling..

if he cant get his rythm, he should simply block and play second fiddle to Afridi

if we get past 400 with these inshallah


that cause the windies to self destruct

[Raz]

376 to get now. The target is whittling down.

[Hash]

197/5

Afridi not out 86
Razzaq not out 11

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

target is coming down


what negative captaincy - u have 376 runs to play with and u have 5 guys on boundary



AFRIDI SMACKS GAYLE FOR 4 AS WELL - LOL

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 By Afridi 200 is up and he is in 90's now :D :D :D

honestly if pak waant to win

afridi needs to double his best score

and razzaq needs 100

and then akmal needs 85 +

[tahaqureshi]

target decreasing..

afridi is his 90's

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 by afridi !!! he is on 97 now!! gr8 shot

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

SLOG SWEEPS FOR 6 AFRIDI!!!!!!


97 off 73 so far

[tahaqureshi]

Gayle to Abdul Razzaq
tossed up, on middle stump, tried to play a big shot down the grond, inside edge to leg side

IDIOT!!!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes catching off the roof is the only way they are catching afridi :P

[Amir]

3 short of 100, lets see if he can get it

[Amjid Javed]

powell onto bowl now

come on guys

[tahaqureshi]

Razzaq shouldn't do anything dumb here

and Afridi SHOULDN'T defend after his century!!!!!!

[fair_play]

If he gets his hundred of 74 balls he will match Pakistan fastest ever test hundred!

[tahaqureshi]

but he is on 74 balls already!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man the ball is dieing on that rough

[Shohair]

its raazaq who im afraid off

41.3 Powell to Abdul Razzaq, no run, outside off stump, a play and miss

chill mr razzaq

[tahaqureshi]

Yea, razzaq is playing and missing too much for my liking, he isn't settled.

[Amir]

Afridi on strike to Powell

[Amjid Javed]

pak 210/5

drinks...

41.5 Powell to Afridi, no run, gets behind the line of the ball and plays it back to the bowler

shabbash play on merit

[tahaqureshi]

Strike is back to Razzaq!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

drinks time now and we arent in that bad of a position at this moment 100 runs added for the cost of 1 wicket

[tahaqureshi]

As soon as the target reaches 300 (Hopefully for the loss of still only 5)

I think we have a chance..


WE CAN'T LOSE A WICKET BEFORE LUNCH..

INZI/YK/BOB NEED TO HAVE A TALK WITH BOTH OF THEM TO KEEP THEIR WITS..

[Usman]

Afridi needs 3 more after the break to get 100 then he should play till the end if the day.

[Lightning]

Afridi gone!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

razzaq slaps gayle over long on for 6 off the middle of the bat!!!


WHAT A SHOT

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzler smacks a 6!!

[Officer Barbrady]

Afridi gone!

on 97? ??

[Shohair]

Zohaid

Pls dont do jokes like that

they are not funny at all

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man these poor roofs of the ground are gonna have huge dents in them by the time these 2 are done with this :P

[ImranR]

42.3 Gayle to Razzaq, SIX!!, stands there and lofts it between midwicket and long on, comes right from the meat of the bat and lands on the roof of the midwicket stands, what a shot, better than all the ones that Afridi has hit so far

[Amir]

espicially about our beloved Afridi :P

[tahaqureshi]

SIX!!!!!!!! Amazing way to get the pressure off for Razzaq!

[Usman]

Razaq smaked a 6! Man what is he doing???

[The_Cricket_Devil]

afridi on 98 now mashallhah

[pakistani pride]

razzaq hit are so clean. But whar are we up to ?????

[Lightning]

Sorry guys! Bad joke. Anyway great six by razzler

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

HUUUUUGE 6 BY AFRIDI
CHRAGES POWELL - OVER LONG OFF

[PakPassionate]

AFRIDI SCORE A SUPERB CENTURY......................

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[shan]

[pakistani pride]

lol they put the frontline batters to shame !

[Lightning]

What a six. Charging a fast bowler!

[Amir]

WHAT A WAY TO GET YOUR HUNDRED! Charges Powell down the track and hits a six

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

*** - THEY GAVE IT AS A 4 - IT WAS A 6!

LANDED on rope - so should be a 6

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[Amjid Javed]

3rd umpire has given a 4.... yet it was a six cheating umpire!

congrats afridi on 100

[tahaqureshi]

WOW!!!!!!!!!

the required target is dropping..once its in the 200's..Afridi and Razzaq should seriously protect their wicket..cuz we have a chance!!!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if pakistan lose by 2 runs in this ill kill someone that was a 6!

[Amir]

WI umpires are retarded, they cost WI 3rd ODI vs SA and now they maek so many dumb calls, even with a TV infront of them...retards.

[tahaqureshi]

For those watching, did Razzaq congratulate Afridi on his 100? and if so, then how?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzler duly clapped for affy ;D

[bilal]

350 more needed with 5 wickets, GUYZZZZZZZZZZZ, do u really think we can do this. im not tryin to be negative but cumon

[tahaqureshi]

[Shohair]

[bilal]

Shahid Afridi (RHB) 117 85 9 6 137.65

WOW

[Usman]

Just pray to God and we may just pull this off.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hehe uncle stroking his beard thought it was the 3rd umpire for a moment lol

[tahaqureshi]

Thats what Im doing now!! LOL!!!


Im thanking Allah for giving Afridi so much power!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

reon king coming on now

[bilal]

we shud give credit to Razzaq too, who said he isnt a test day player

[Gooner]

Razzaq playing a good supporting role while afridi is going for it, great hitting from the man.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

inside edge into his biscuit :p

[bilal]

weve shown resiliance today which is a positive point to take from this test

[Usman]

Afridi doing a good thing taking singles.

[Saj]

one could say that the ball is staying low, apart from when it comes off the bat of Afridi :)

[bilal]

47.5 Powell to Shahid Afridi, no run, full toss and he edges, one bounce
to keeper

Easy now

[Saj]

a change of bat for Shahid, maybe the heavy one for big hitting is out now :)

[The_Cricket_Devil]

that must be the 3rd time he has changed his bat now lol

[Gooner]

Which has impressed me the most since Afridi has come back into the pakistani side he can not only hit the four's and sixes but can also pick up the cheeky singles.

[tahaqureshi]

we have a One Day kind of field setting for Afridi in this Test match

:))) :))) :)))

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes i agree nadz, afridi batting very well wth is with younis khan being called yousuf khan by the commentators

[hasan316]

hey doen anyone know what happened Fidel Edwards? why is he not bowling?

[bilal]

thank god they dont have any good spinners or else both of these 2 would have found it hard to play

[Saj]

The last few overs Afridi has been batting in a very orthodox manner. The field has been spread to all parts and Afridi has been playing it nicely along the ground for easy singles.

[bilal]

how did Edwards get injured

[hasan316]

Does anyone know what happened Fidel Edwards? why is he not bowling?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

something with his back he has had those in the past

[Usman]

hey doen anyone know what happened Fidel Edwards? why is he not bowling?

Yeah he got injured, lets hope for Pakistan's sake he does not make any further contribution in this match!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

between 3rd slip and gully for 4 by razzler

[Saj]

Edwards has a hamstring strain.

Loose shot by Razzaq through 4th slip.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

251-5 now 2 runs taken legbye

[Gooner]

Do you guys think bob is to be given credit for Afridi's good form or isit just Arfidi who has turned it around for himself in the past 12 months?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think bob has a lot of confidence in our friendly neighbourhood pathan and it has really elped turn afridi around :D

[Usman]

Both, Afridi h worked hard on his bowling in England and South Africa which took pressure of him in his batting. Then Bob and Inzi forced his inclusion in the side

[tahaqureshi]

I think he is a genuine all rounder, gr8 with the ball, and obviously amazing with the bat!

some very sensible batting taking place. Chanders spreads the field so both batsmen looking for the quick singles.

Chanders is a poor captain...good on the batsmen that they are exploiting it.

We don't have a chance of winning, just enjoy the fun while it last.
