2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

SIX by Sami. Need 2 to avoid follow-on.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

And sami hits 6 and commentators all praise for him.........what if the same ball would have gone in the air???

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Cheegum Jee would have gotten a promotion. :D

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

chaloo jee gangu in attack

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

it depends, if it had gone in the air resulting in sami’s dismissal followed by a hatrick by kumble, eventually resulting in follow-on then you could very well imagine :slight_smile:

Pakistan has saved the follow on

:jhanda:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Pakistan has saved the follow-on.

Yayyyyy!!!

Draw, anyone?

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Shukar hay, Pak avoids follow-on.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Vultures are patiently circling in the air. Wonder what might be going through Arun Lal's mind.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

well done pak

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Thanks for showing respect and calling bhaijan...

Brother I think cricket is a game of uncertainity....he is human being and no batsman think he will get an edge of it will fly on air....but all in all as an 8th batsman, he played really well and only thing which I commented on your views was that we should not call anyone Jahil...Let alone to a person who is doing well at the moment.

All in all I am no sami fan, I think some other bowler should get a chance...I think Yasir Arafat should have been tried.....he did bowl well but with no luck as well...at least he tries his best, its not his fault he is in the team....he has no scandles he works hard in the field and he bowls to his abilities....

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

lets see what the strategy is going to be like now. Pakistan would like to be in a position where India when batting SHOULD NOT feel comfortable declaring today.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

hey guys could there be a possibility....our players get some lead before indian batting,,,,miracles are possible.....imagine 150/5 and 417/6......that is a miracle..

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

So summary of the game so far… 1033 runs for 11 wickets. What a marvellous pitch and what a wonderful testament to test match cricket. Kolkatta should get an award or something for popularizing test cricket all over again. :k:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

to get a lead in this situation you have to have your recognized players playing who can acclerate when needed, not Misbah with tailenders.

Pakistan target at this stage should be to waste as much time as possible and obviously accumulating some runs as well to reduce the deficit. The larger the lead (eg 150) the more India will feel comfortable declaring early. Pakistan dont want to come again to bat today with 5 overs remaining.

The long, drawn-out "Chalo chalooo" cries from Dhoni.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

**AT LUNCH, DAY 4

Pakistan: 418/6

Mishbah: 141 (303 balls)
Sami: 24 (86 balls)

Partnership of 61.

Pakistan trail by 198 runs.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

with the news of Asif’s inclusion from cricinfo several days ago (not confirm) we can surely expect a thaka hoa/mara hoa track to ensure no assistance for fast bowlers

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

great job by misbah and sami. :k:

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

What you guys think of Anil Kumbley's captaincy??? I hope I get some answers from Indian fellows too.

Re: 2nd Test: India v Pakistan at Kolkata - Nov 30-Dec 4, 2

Great Job Misbah
Kamran Well played also But tumhary abhi ek century say Saaray Gunnah maaf nahi hoye...He must perform consistently specially behind the wkts.
