I'd rather have Danish bowling as late as possible, we need india in for the 4th innings. I wouldnt fancy our chances vs Kumble and Bhaji on a 5th day pitch

O mere laal, when the team bowling first gets a chance to bat, it scores big.

[inzidabest]

team batting second has always got huge totals. team batting first has got huge totals but not always , team batting first has also been bundled out cheaply. team batting second has never been bundled out cheaply

u got me all confused...........ding dong!well as long as therz no rain im happy!!!!!!! to get some action boom booom!

[inzidabest]

Best utilization of the pitch. Bowl first. Get opposition out for less runs. Then bat well. get a huge lead and then bowl.
Lets see who does it

i dont understand this if therz grass on the wicket that means win the toss n bowl first make full use of the pictch ........coz the grass wont last forever.....i dont know why ppl think its only danny boy who gets us 20 wickets everytime we win...our strength is fast bowling not leg breaks...(which mind u never works in the first innings anyway!!!

[RunInzyRun]

Intresting fact about Faisalabad:
The first two teams to ever play there were Pakistan and India.

I should have just said the team batting second racks up big totals.

[iZeeshan]

i want pakiistan to bat first! cuz they if they bowl and india put up then they'll be under pressure and it will be a huge disaster!

You guessed it right, they all have the same cookooland mentality! Yes he is Indian and he cant hide it even if he tries. There is some chemistry about them, Foolish Confidence, Never appreciating other teams, No Cricketing Brain, Emotional and Biased Comments without knowing the weaknesses of own players and team and always always overexpecting miracles from players even if they cant deliver and then burning their effigies when they lose.

I just read a sentence and can tell its an Indian.

I remember watching an India Pakistan game at Sharja Stadium and Pakistani Saeed Anwar was playing the 3rd over and smashing Srinath all over the park. A guy next to me asked me. Toss Ho Gaya kya ? and he had been flying an Indian flag for the last 10 minutes and shouting pathetic and fanatic slogans.

[cavin420]

[cavin420]

aaaaaah like i was saying all along weather has nothing to do with it..sanjay says im confused ..if the sun doesnt come out that means its gud for the bowlers , if the sun comes out it hardens the pitch bakes it , makes it a batting paradise like england so asks boycott im confused..boycott says ur not the only one...rameez jumps in n says ur right just a silly thing they think!!!bottom line peeps sun has nothing to do with a bouncy wickets.....!

[PapaBear]

Summary: Curator is talking nonsense: Pitch will help Batsmen!

[cavin420]

[inzidabest]

bbc predicted no rain.yahoo predicted rain

[Farah]

Waqar says rumours are Razzaq will play, this wud mean no Asif!

[cavin420]

waqar younis says i dont think any changes in batting n 2 changes in bowling with asif coming in n razzak has a strong case to play just to make the batting more stronger.....

arun laal says ajit agarkar isnt well so he will be replaced

[inzidabest]

Razzy will do good in this test match.

[MecnunK]

brainwashed fools!

[Farah]

Waqar says he wud play Asif, and says theres a fair bit of chance he will play today.

[cavin420]

whats the big deal with reverse swing anyway?????????????batsman dont seem to have any probs these days......waqar younis plz spare us arun laal thinks ganguly might not play n india might play an extra bowler!!

[inzidabest]

i dont believe them. time will tell

[cavin420]

rameez has the same view as my self how can u drop a bowler who bowls 90+mph .......why any changes at all...............i hope its the same team as last test

[Oxy]

Originally Posted by cavin420 arun laal says ajit agarkar isnt well so he will be replaced

Agarkar has suffered from some mysterious illness known as 'crapbowlerflu' for a LONG time'...poor guy.

[Farah]

Boycott says Agarkar is no allrounder cant bat even he cud bowl him out

[inzidabest]

[cavin420]
