Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad *Jan21 - Jan 25 2006*

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

ok that's it, kami finally got his wish, he was swinging away all morning outside his offstump

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

attacking? or edge?

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006


You are right, but even the enclosures that are partly filled include school girls, glued to their seats singing "Jeevay, Jeevay, Jeevay Pakistan......Pakistan Pakistan Jeevay Pakistan". I wish the effect would have been much stronger that what I had hoped to be, but nevertheless, here is Mohammad Yousuf instead of Afridi, once again. Well, talk about being 'extra' defensive.

damn! kumble just pulled an ian bell!

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006


It was an outside edge. Both bowlers have been bowling extremely well this morning, and swinging the ball very heavily outside the off-stump. Even at one point, (Arul Lal was it?) pointed out that the shinier side was on the inner side (left-hand side) so the natural outcome would have been a ball that should be coming into the right-hander, but the ball managed to do just the opposite (Waqar pointed out the latter part), and beat Kami's bat.

not really i think yousuf can really have the scoreboard ticking,!Inshalah we will win!

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006


True. No doubt about it, but I would really like for the scoreboard to "tick", as in "Afridi tick". There is a "Zameen Aasman" difference between Yousuf ticking the scoreboard over, and Afridi performing on his day-job. One can hope for a Pakistan win (as I am doing right now), but with the strategy that we have been currently experiencing, an outcome is very much doubted.

kamran;s wicket

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

man what was moyo thinking with that shot, doesn't he know we're only afridi and razzaq's wickets away from defeat?

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

^ what a stupid shot

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

Kumble dropped Youhana at gully. It was almost a similar delivery which saw Akmal back in the pavilion. One should really take these chances. It was not a difficult catch, and should have been taken.

Re: Pakistan vs India 2nd Test Match @ Faisalabad Jan21 - Jan 25 2006

MoYo has to play with responsibility here, as these two are the only players who have capability to stick around longer

Jazba_pk - being an optimist is OK, but being stupid is not.
