Dravid should score now.. he cannot be bogged down now.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Both Shoaib and Rana are keeping both batsmen under check with short deliveries. Good stuff. Fielders look alive as well.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
I think Pakistani bowlers are bowling too short, they should bowl on the off-stump corridor, though its nice bowling but still after 12 overs not much laquer to support the skiddy behaviour of the ball
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
How many overs remaining today.

Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
They will look alive, most of them were sitting in the dressing room most of the days right.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Pakistan bagging two of the top spots is enough for me. :D
Shoaib is bowling at a great line and length. Not too short, not too wide either. Just a perfect outside the off-stump delivery line.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Ok guys Khudha Hafiz for the day 
I hope Pakistan gets couple of wickets at the end of the day. 
miltay hai kaal …!
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Allah Hafiz acrobi bhai.
Insha-Allah! 
Let’s not forget Kamran’s brilliant century, concluding just about less than fifteen minutes before the start of the second innings, and now he is back behind the stumps, managing a full-time position, with already fielding at least two fantastic deliveries from Shoaib Akhtar.
Not to mention Afridi looks just as keen as Akmal, if not more calmer and more active. And yes, not only he has spent most of his time in the dressing room, but he also has made the most of his stay throughout his duration at the crease.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
And what were pathan, agarkar and ganguly doing before the start of the match yesterday? Why wern't they fresh and alive than?:D
Instead of gving excuses about the pitch and the freshness level of bowlers, why cant you guys simply admit that it was a pathetic display of bowler's selection from Indian team mangaement
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Indian team clearly looks under pressure. Look at pressure on everybody's face..
With Tendulkar Chewing on nails, and Laxmal looking as he is ready to cry... and these are next two batsmen to come.................
Not good for India, Not Good........... :-(
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Khan sahab, Zaheer isn't any gurantee, he didn't do good job in one match he got on the tour. That leaves Balaji, he is still recovering of back injury.....
:(
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Back from a party. Boy , I am gald I didnot have to watch this massacre. Indians will have to play out of their skin and put up atleast 600. Even a lead of 120-150 means Pakistan will put up another quick 150 and ask India to make 300 on last day. Great job By Pakistani Batsman. So far Indian batted well.No sign of any special leverage from wicket from gosht-khor bowlers so far. Didnot see Indian in trouble at all. But I think it is early. I think during India’s batting too Afridi will be a crucial. His variations will be very handy on this placid wicket.
Hope Indian finished the day without losing more than 1 wicket. :tiranga:

When does Sachin not eat his nails. He always has his fingers in mouth.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
What an awesome display of batting by Paksitan. Rumour has it that the Indian bowlers have lodged a complaint with the International court of justice in hague regading the genocide of their bowling.
As far as centuries goes honours are even, four for Paksitan and four for the Indian bowlers. It remains to be seen whether our bowlers can now match the Indians in scoring centuries.
Well played pakistan. :k:
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
So basically you are admitting that the bowling department is pretty weak, whatever the reason is. Right?
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Yep.. Indian pace bowling lineup us very weak compared to Pakistan. Where is the dispute? I never saw any Indian claiming otherwise.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
I didnt give any argument. I was just saying that Indian bowling was so pathetic that they allowed most of the pakistani bowlers as well batsmen in the pavillion for most part of the day.
I would be nice to know how many runs out of the pakistan total was scored in boundaries.
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Ya but we did see people whinning about flat tracks. With a weak bowling line up of sabzee khoors, every pitch will look flat:D
Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
Only except for the "dust bowls" :p
