[tahaqureshi]

[Hadiq]

[DM]

I always like it when we bat first because there is no upper limit to the runs can potentially make

[sajjad]

the old pp

[tahaqureshi]

no..there is a sticky thread..

for the 'official discussion'

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan 30/0 off 7.5 overs

[Amjid Javed]

pak 30/0 off 8 ovrs

[sajjad]

bring on the random scoring/commentary here

leave the big discussions for the discssion thread

[tahaqureshi]

runs are drying up..i know we need a steady start but shouldn't we be scoring?

[Amjid Javed]

butt slashs ball to 3rd man

pak 31/0

[Amjid Javed]

taha, give it till 10th over and then open up.

[sajjad]

tahai bhai,
can u make that signature pic a little smaller
wud really appreciate it
makes browsing the thread a lot easier

[Amjid Javed]

quick single taken

pak 32/0

[sajjad]

9 overs
31/0

great solid start
but really need to start scoring now
300+ should be our target and for that we need to score at 6.56+ runs an over

[Amjid Javed]

single for akmal to 3rd man

pak 33/0

[tahaqureshi]

yes i agree saj..but i DON"T KNOW HOW...

i mean i made this pic on photoshop..i can't change the size now..but i have uploaded it on photobucket..

can u teach me how..i absolutely have no problem in making it smaller..

i just need to know how..

btw..my name is taha

[Amjid Javed]

salman butt agen plays a poor pull shot almost out

pak 34/0

[Naveed]

This is ok, our strength is lower order batting and keeping wickets in hand is a good thing.

[Amjid Javed]

10 overs --> pak 34/0

[Naveed]

I'm glad Kamran is in there to open instead of the fisherman!

[Hadiq]

good stuff
Im wondering why salman keeps going for the pull shot...he got out attempting to play it last match aswell

[Amjid Javed]

reon king on now

[sajjad]

taha,
u can use pretty much any photo editing software to change the dimension of the pic. upload that n it shud work

i havent worked with photbucket so im not quite sure. can neone else help.

[tahaqureshi]

which photo editing sftware can i use???

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 36/0 off 10.4

[sajjad]

i use picasa nowadays free software from google

works awesome. i love it. rate it the best in user friendliness and plenty of features as well

[Naveed]

Stop playing pull shot Salman!

[sajjad]

11 over
37/0
RR 3.36

cmon now we gotta start scoring

[Amjid Javed]

S butt gone, poor shot!

[Hadiq]

there you have it...stupid attempt

[Naveed]

Butt another poor shot, will he learn?

[sajjad]

dammit!!!

no RR and we lose a wicket
pakistan hobbling a bit

[Amjid Javed]

Naveed i agree, salman was playing pull shot 2 mant times with no sucsess and now has perished with airy fairy drive!

[sajjad]

it was bound to happen
RR was low
it was time they started scoring

full delivery a bit of swing and he is OUT

[Amjid Javed]

hameed new batsmen in now...!

[Amjid Javed]

hameed off mark with single.

pak 38/1 off 11.5 ovrs

[sajjad]

the old style of cricket doesnt work nowadays
u outta score quicker from early on AND keep wickets safe simultaneously

btw Waqar said Salman Khan instead of BUTT.llol

[Naveed]

Disappointing stuff from Salman he is capable of much better.

[Amjid Javed]

12 overs ---> pak 39/1

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal edges ball past 1st slip for 4

pak 43/1

[tahaqureshi]

43/1

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal gone, flicks ball straight to square leg

Pak 44/2

[catwoman]

Kamran gone

[Naveed]

great catch by Bravo

[Amjid Javed]

Youhana in now.. pakistan in trouble.

[sajjad]

wowww

what a catch
on full stretch
amazing stuff
slow RR hurting pakistan now

[tahaqureshi]

well pak were in trouble at 49/3 last night as well

[Amjid Javed]

14 overs --> pak 44/2

[Naveed]

oh boy, might be one of those collapse days

[sajjad]

wicket maiden

pakistan in the thick of it at the moment

[tahaqureshi]

well i hope this is as thick as it gets

[Naveed]

Well needed boundary

[Naveed]

What the hell was that?

[sajjad]

how did they survive that one

shocking save of a run out..lol

[Naveed]

Youhana literally kicked that ball!

[sajjad]

youhanna interfering with the field
he would have been out had they appealed

pakistan very lucky there

[Naveed]

Yeah I don't know why they didn't appeal on that.

[Naveed]

Horrific running should have been another runout. Powell could have literally taken the bails off himself instead of throwing it.

[sajjad]

haha
this is getting too funny now

niether team wants to win apparently

[Civil]

This is I believe a match between the two least professional Test Teams.

And there definitely showing it.

[sajjad]

this is more of a comedy show than a cricketing match

lol
but wheres everyone

no one commenting on the thread here

[Civil]

they're all on the discussion thread

[sajjad]

no i think theyr not posting there either

[Naveed]

Yasir bowled, nice delivery by King

[Naveed]

Well the usual has happened 3 wickets down and Yousuf and Inzi in to avoid the collapse!

[Officer Barbrady]

Hinds spell will be important, we must not lose wickets to him even though he is getting some swing.

[Naveed]

Hinds was getting tremendous swing.

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan

lets make a match of this now

[Civil]

2 successive 4's by Inzimam

good over by Pakistan in the 26th

[Naveed]

Well poor captaincy by Lara. Hinds needs at least 1 slip.

[Officer Barbrady]

Youhana edges ball dies on it way to the keeper..just short. Next two balls beat the outside edge.

We have been rather lucky so far.

[Naveed]

Youhana having a lot of trouble with Bravo

[sajjad]

only 19 overs left

pakistan needs to get to that 300 run mark

[DM]

If they take too long, Afridi should be promoted. He simply has to bat, it'd be illogical and a huge waste otherwise.

[Naveed]

Afridi should be the first new batsman after the 40th over.
