offical day 4 - 2nd test w.i v pak @ Jamaica [6/6/05]

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan 374 & 223/4
West Indies 404

(LEAD 193 runs with 6 wkts still in hand)

inzi 64* afridi 16*

pakistan will start day 4 looking to extend their lead to hopefully 300 and beyond...! pakistan have the slight edge at the moment one god solid session of batting should hopefully give enough pakistan the required runs to win this test and level the series inshallah.

[sars_pal]

Hopefully we can hold our catches and limit you to around 250 we do that and im confident we can put the game and series beyond you and get the 2-0 clean sweep

[Amjid Javed]

Hopefully we can hold our catches and limit you to around 250 we do that and im confident we can put the game and series beyond you and get the 2-0 clean sweep

250-300 target gives west indies a very good chance...! lets not forget west indies recently chased 400+ to beat Australia... so u never no in cricket. if lara/gayle get going then ur boys have a good chance to seal the series...!

[ali kc]

Anything over 325 should be a winning lead imo.

We need about 130-150 runs atleast , between Inzi, Afridi, Razzaq & Kamran that should be achievable.

If Pakistan doesnt lose early wickets, we should play till about 10 overs before tea , about 50 overs in the day and try to score about 200 runs ..that would be the ideal situation


With Lara in such great form, make west indies think they can score 350+ runs in about 120 or so overs. Let them play the shots and make mistakes. Kaneria will hopefully play a big role in the second innings

[Daoud]

NAAAAAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNN

One of us really should have set up this thread before **** Zabaan did

We're doomed now :((

[DM]

Afridi's going to have a blast isn't he?

I can't imagine him playing any other way. Don't miss the start guys!

[Schiller]

im missing the start now, thats it, ive made up my mind :))2

[MIG]

Me too - yah kon hai Afiridi shafridi ?

[DM]

im missing the start now, thats it, ive made up my mind :))2 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :D

[Schiller]

:))2

[Schiller]

lets boycott it migsy, we've seen enough :))2

[MIG]

I will deliberately turn my head away when Afridi hits the ball and mute the sound on TV and will forbid my kids from jumping up and down when he hits those big sixes ....

[Schiller]

done then!

what are yougoing to do now dm, eh, what what, i ask ya

[Asim2Good]

today will be hard task for both batsmen Afridi & Inzi
have to see how Inzi play himself and how he makes Afridi to play and If Afridi listen to Inzi's advise.
most of times when Afridi does bat, there is youngster or tailender is on non striker end, they just see wat's Afridi doing on other end. And he hardly plays with players like Inzi & YoYo on otherside with him in middle for advice and to guide him ho to build his innings
that's one of the reason Afridi through out his career have been batsman who orders his cup of tea b4 coming to bat.

When Miandad took charge of coachin (I believe very 1st time), Afridi scored 100 against Ind in toronto in Sahara Cup and I think that was chanceless Inn and with total control and every one thought now Miandad will make him play but after few games we saw same Afridi, but let's see wat Inzi can do being in middle together with Afridi

[DM]

I will deliberately turn my head away when Afridi hits the ball and mute the sound on TV and will forbid my kids from jumping up and down when he hits those big sixes ....you brutal tyrant. Just you wait till they're stronger than you, time doesn't heal such acts of repression

[Schiller]

if you think this place is full of lenins, you err

a commie supporting afridi, talk about irony!! :))2

[DM]

:))2

[arsal_pakfan]

i think its still pretty much 50-50 % chances for both the sides!...Younis 's departrue was a big setback...

still we should look to get atleast 107 more runs to get a lead of 300!...only Inzi is capable to take Pakistan to a lead of 300+..i have no expectations from Afridi,Razzaq or Kamran Akmal...at the moment they r as bad as Westindies tail!

so all hopes on Inzi!!

[hello143]

The highest total chased on this ground is 221.

[Amir]

AJ is back and god please have mercy on us all!

Sadly all the fish are gone... lets just hope west indies crumble some how..

[Fessal]

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

lolllz Inzy wants to eat all the fish. I can see a major war between him, Bob and Sheps in who will get to eat yasir/shoaib's fishes.

I dont know whos gonna win or whos gona cook the fish but your right windies will crumble. Then Inzy and co can use the crumbs for the fish.

i can see captain birdseye(inzi) in pakistan dressing room celebrating after the match :))) :)))

[Fessal]

:))) :)))

[MIG]

I think the Pak team should now try the "Boo" techinique....

Explanation:

1. At the start of the day, Pak team assembles together at the ground

2. Led by BW, All Pak players wear bedsheets on their heads and head down to the WI dressing room

3. While standing and in unison - they all shout.... BOOOOO!

4. WI batsman crumble in fear

5. Match conceded to Pakistan

6. Unbeaten record maintained

7. Threat of Jooton Ka Haar at Karachi airport and Effigy burning extravaganza recedes.....


Do you think it will work ?

[Gasherbrum]

depends on the colour of the bedsheets.

[whyhkk]

They should try pink bedsheets to scare of the WIndians

[Shoaib A]

so the match is soon going to start.....

[Amjid Javed]

match starts in 5 mins....!

[Hash]

we need a good session now of solid batting. 120 runs......1 or 2 wickets lost.

[Amjid Javed]

hash, I think we need 300..!

i think that will just about be enuf...!

250-275 i think wets indies wud fancy the chase!

[Mercenary]

and there i was rubbing my hands when i realised Best was coming on to ball, i think Afridi was rubbing his hands too!!

[kasoo10]

Looking at last 2 innings, each side scored at a rate of almost 4 runs per over. WI played 112 overs in last innings scoring 404 runs.

Assuming Pakistan plays till 10 overs before tea, that should leave about 110 overs for WI to play and @ 4 rpo they should be able to score 420+ runs.

Pakistan can play 35 - 40 overs more and @ 4 rpo should score about 160 more runs that leaves a lead of about 400 even.

Not looking good for Pakistan. If we have to win this match we have to score @ 5 rpo until 10 overs before tea and then let WI play.

[Amjid Javed]

single for razzaq and inzi in the over, next over single for inzi

pak 270/5 (lead 240)

inzi 82* razzaq 1*

[Amjid Javed]

quick single by razzaq cud be out!

[spongebob]

erm...thats if we survive until lunch...which I doubt we will.

Its looking ominous!!!

[kasoo10]

A lead of less than 400 means that WI should win this match. We can not restrict them or get them out for less than that.

[whyhkk]

Razzaq could be out

[Amjid Javed]

run out looks close....! cud be given....! its west indian 3rd umpire!

[whyhkk]

hey west indian umpire gave it not out
indian umpire would give that out

[Amjid Javed]

razzaq given not out

pak 272/5 (lead 242)

single for inzi

[GamBiTT]

Not given out. WIndies 3rd Umpires are not cheats as the idiot INDIAN umpires!!!

[pakistani pride]

so a 300 lead is a match winning one ????

[Amjid Javed]

looks like razzaq is in attack mode 2day....

pak 272/5

[kasoo10]

so a 300 lead is a match winning one ????

Yes, for WI!! and a loosing one for Pakistan.

[whyhkk]

Razzaq out

razzaq fails agen.... bowled by best!

pakistan cud throw this away here....

[Shoaib A]

[Hash]

Razzaq is gone :(

did you know that Imran Khan has retired from international cricket?

[kasoo10]

First target for this pair is to bat out till lunch. Aiming to bat out the day. Forget about runs.

[CrickFan]

I don't blame Razaaq .. I blame people who have selected him for Tests ... He can neither take wickets nor score runs ..(mohali an exception ...after playing so many test matches ..ven my doodhwaala can get an odd century )

[sars_pal]

Great Double strike now we need to mop ity up now with a lead of under 300 we can win this game :)

[Shoaib A]

hope inzi does well...lot depends on him now..

[Amjid Javed]

pak 278/6

akmal off mark with single...

lead 248

[CrickFan]

Yes ..it still looks like a good batting wicket unlike what some posters were predicting ..So any score less than 300 should not be too difficult ..specially when Lara is in such a great form .

[whyhkk]

did you know that Imran Khan has retired from international cricket?


what is that supposed to mean Hash

[Amjid Javed]

Dont expect too much from Razzaq. He is the best we have.

Imran Khans dont grow on trees.

[Hash]

Razzaq is gone :(

did you know that Imran Khan has retired from international cricket?

what I meant was that spongebob was very late with the news. We all knew and there had been plenty of posts about it already. It was a 'joke'.

[the SHA]

When was the last time Inzi batted with the tail? Been quite a while..... probably at Multan Vs the ex-East wing.

I also wonder when was the last time Inzi actually batted over 2 seperate days of a test match? Normally a breathtaking innings during Day 1 is followed by an after-thought prod first ball on Day 2 !

[adi 101]

tino best is really pumped up

[Amjid Javed]

akmal gone aswell to tino best.......

[the SHA]

ohoh, im getting that refresh delay on cricinfo :(

rana gone....

pakistan 280/8

game been thrown away....

[adi 101]

well now inzy needs to fo wild shabbir is out there its wont be the first time they rescue a match together!!!!!

[Hash]

I have noticed that generally speaking our players always walk. It would be ok if other players walked but take a look at the other teams and their players.....they rarely walk. Gilchrist walks once and he gets a nobel prize.

Our players always walk. I don't think they should.

[whyhkk]

Yea I really doubt. Inzamam has to score fast

[Shoaib A]

out..pakistan down now!!!

[PapaBear]

The collapse that was predicted has come

[Fessal]

Our players all walk: akmal, malik etc but they should only if they are 100% ceartain they are out with no doubt about a catch. Whats the point in being itna ziada acha?? remember what walsh did 5 years ago??

Anyway as long as Inzy's there 300's on the cards. still.

[the SHA]

oh well, as long as he wore his heart on his sleeve and tried his best thats all that matters in test cricket.

(apologies for bitterness!)

[CrickFan]

Congrats ..WI !! For winning Comprehensively 2-0 ..and showing Pakistan where they belong - Next to Bangladesh .

[kasoo10]

WI can finish it today. Unless DK can be banned for one more innings. Do not want to see him bowl. I can not understand why Inzi has so much confidence on him.

[Rana Banana]

Second time stupid Akmal has walked in the match

He's trying to be like gilchrist. He always tells the truth and walks. It's a shame he can't bat like Gilchrist

[Khalil]

useless banana gone!

I wonder if Inzi will get his hundred

[Shoaib A]

inzi needs to take chances now-..

[Hash]

the only instance of a Pak player not walking that I can remember is Razzaq in Australia.

i wud know like to say that this match is trully lost, barring a miracle

[Amjid Javed]

Man ..after watching our all "rounders" like Razzaq , Akmal and Passenger Rana ...who can be blamed for being pessimist

[Amjid Javed]

pakistans lower order from razzaq onwards is worse than west indies tail!

[badxhah]

We could have batted WI out of the test but noooooooooooo but we had to leave it balance.

When i see this score i hoped Shooby was here.

[Shoaib A]

inzi have to go for it....

[the SHA]

Mr. Haq, I believe it is time!

[Shoaib A]

time to go go go for it it it!

[nedian21]

ya i understand ur frustration. but u never know in test cricket. it is difficult to chase in 4th innings and 2-3 early wicket sp Lara can change things altogether. INSHALLAH we will win.

[spongebob]

inzi is throwing the bat at anything now

[Mercenary]

Inzi is playing for th elunch break then he's gonna come back and give the windies bowlers some licks

[Hash]

300 would be a good psychological lead. Come on Inzi.

[CrickFan]

Why blame coach or selectors for slicing and dicing the team ... some people in this team are just passengers .. like the Indian side used to be sometime back ..they perform well in 1 match out of 20 ..and then expect to be there for the next 20 .. Danish , Yasir , Akmal , Razaaq , Rana (in Test) andeven Kamal (performs only when the match is lost and the intensity of the opposition has gone down )

[Shoaib A]

clever batting by inzi.....not to let kanaria get strike....

[jalex382]

Man i really admire Inzi, wat a smart player he is, he has been taking single on every last ball. Very smart.

[the SHA]

With Afridi batting lower down, Pakistan's lower order seems a little imbalanced.

Pak now have 3 naturally attacking lower order batsmen (4 if you include Rana). There seems to be a case to replace one of these with someone partial to just hanging around, keeping their wicket.

In the past Moin Khan would play this role well (when required), but alas its been decreed that Akmal has good glovework - case closed.

[Hash]

another single for inzi off last ball!

With Afridi batting lower down, Pakistan's lower order seems a little imbalanced.

Pak now have 3 naturally attacking lower order batsmen (4 if you include Rana). There seems to be a case to replace one of these with someone partial to just hanging around, keeping their wicket.

In the past Moin Khan would play this role well (when required), but alas its been decreed that Akmal has good glovework - case closed.

Rana a batsman ?? Man u can't be serious ..Can hardly put bat to ball in Test Matches ..It his good luck that he is playing in an era where Pakistan is bereft of quality bowlers for various reasons ..Otherwise you would have never heard his name .

inzi going to lunch and keep the strike afterwards,,,man inzi is the true hero here...just have to get more runs...

[Hash]

need another 23

[shan]

need another 23

not just 23 runs

as much as posible

[Hash]

shan- I meant 23 as a minimum.

[Imy]

Is Best and King can get wickets my question is is the wicket playing up or was it our batters and their expansive shots

[Hash]

highest fourth innings totals in Jamaica (http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=ground;groundid=200;class=testground;filt er=advanced;team1=0;team2=0;notteam=0;homeaway=0;m onth=0;season=0;startdefault=1930-04-03;start=1930-04-03;decade=0;enddefault=2004-06-07;end=2004-06-07;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;schedule ddays=0;scheduledovers=0;result=0;followon=0;recen t=;viewtype=list;innings=4;runslow=;runshigh=;wick etslow=;wicketshigh=;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpo=;ove rslow=;overshigh=;event=target;submit=1;.cgifields =viewtype)

I think we may have blown this gents. The ower order have not contributed, i.e Razzaq, Akmal, Rana and we needed about 20 or so runs minimum from them.

If we are to win this then an inspired spell is required from at least one of our bowlers.

[pakistani pride]

we almost have a lead of 300 is that a match winning one or not ?

[fair_play]

It could go the way of the previous test series in WI.

WI sneaking a late win, and Pakistan coming back empty handed.

But there is cricket to be played yet, and I hope Rana and Kaneria have a point to prove.

werent these guys suppose 2 length are batting???

time and time agen on whole these guys dont produce the goods with bat....!

im not shocked with razzaq/rana both flatter 2 deceive most of the time!

[pakistani pride]

amjid these guys are makeshifts in our test line up they dont desesrve to be in there really.

When will the likes of sami , shoaib , beera and gul play in the same match ???? when that wuld be awsome !!!!

[pakistani pride]

according to cricket info wicket is getting a bit tough to bat on so that are god signs

[Nauman]

I wouldnt say that about Razzaq he has easily been Pakistan's best bowler in the whole of test series besides the lack of confidence shown by Inzimam in him, Shabir has been off colour most of the times besides chucking aligations seem to have over shadowed his performance and will continue to do so no matter how well he does.

[Hash]

I cannot see Shabbir being a part of Pakistan cricket's future now. Unless he can sort out his action and still bowl well.

Gull will be picked for the England series instead of him. I can see a bowling attack of Akhtar, Sami, Gul and Danish.

[Amjid Javed]

2 more for inzi afta lunch

pak 309/9

[kasoo10]

We need to do some searching for quality leg spinner. DK is just not upto the mark. I have given up on him.

[Hash]

inzi for once fails to get a single off the last ball.

Danish is on strike. Will he last the over?

[sars_pal]

Morning was our session hopefully we can wrap this up real quick

[kasoo10]

This can be it. Collymore again to DK.

[spongebob]

collymore on to bowl :(

[Hash]

one bad series and everyone is on Danish's back. Typical.

[CrickFan]

Well in the India series , Danish didn't exactly set the world on fire ..he took wickets but gave away many runs as well

[Amjid Javed]

kaneria gone....!

west indies need 280 to win!

[Nauman]

Danish factor was over hyped and without the support of a quality quick like Shoaib he was always going to struggle a leggie cant single handidly take wickets you will always notice that leg spinners have succeeded when they are supported by good quicks not like the riff raff we have with us.

[Awesome Anjum]

West Indies Need 280 to win

[pakistani pride]

DAMN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! collymore bowling wide outside off and we are stupid enough to nick the ***** ball !!!!!

[sars_pal]

We are winning this game and the series 2-0 Vicotry is sweet :)

[kasoo10]

one bad series and everyone is on Danish's back. Typical.

4 wickets for 150 runs in 30 overs is not good enough. Anyone who gets to bowl that many overs will get wickets. He should not be at this level.

[Shoaib A]

alll out! so is that total enough

[spongebob]

It will be hard to defend 280 against Lara!!! :(

[CrickFan]

Now just watch ...Lara , Gayle and even Chanderpaul ..massacre this attack ... and we will always be dropping catches just for the sake of consistency
