***Official*** India in Pakistan

[jack_sparrow]

anyway, I was watching the RP SINGH kid and ASIF kid....I must say I am very impressed by the two.

 

[Fusion]

Heard an interview of Inzi today where he stated that Pakistan would look to bat for one and a half hour then declare. I think that's a good plan.

 

[Sanz]

And the fireworks have started..

If I believe all the hype about Munaf's pace then yes RP Singh, Santh and Raina(the bowler) are indeed trundlers as far as pace is concerned. I dont understand how RP Singh has established himself after only one and half test. I still think Balaji is a better bowler than him, Pathan, AA and Zaheer. Nehra is crap in tests. Santh is going to disappear soon.

I didn't insult anyone...I just dont think they are that good enough to be considered long term prospects as far as pace bowling is concerned.

RP Singh has bowled a good line and length so far and shown that he can pick up wickets even on a dead track. He certainly has potential. Sreesanth bowls around 140 kph but needs to adopt a consistent line to be successful. It's too early to say anything about him. Raina is not a pace bowler ...

130.6 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, no run, short of a length and on the stumps
again, easiuly ducked under
130.5 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, no run, short of a length and on the
stumps, a bouncer, ducked under
130.4 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR, full and outside the leg stump,
Razzaq moves inside the line and flicks away for a boundary to
long leg!
130.3 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, two runs, full and on the pads, tickled
down to fine-leg for a couple more
130.2 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, legbye: two runs, short of a length and on
the pads, clipped down to fine-leg for a scrambled brace
130.1 Pathan to Abdul Razzaq, SIX, full and on the legs, Razzaq makes
room and converts that into a half-volley and clouts it into the
stands at long-on!

O lord.

 

[jack_sparrow]

next over...o lord times two


131.6 Singh to Faisal Iqbal, two runs, short of a driving length and
outside the off, flashed through cover for a couple more, that's
the 550 of the innings!
131.5 Singh to Faisal Iqbal, FOUR, short of a good length and on the
pads, Iqbal walks across and flicks very fine, that beats fine-leg
and is four more!
131.4 Singh to Faisal Iqbal, two runs, short of a length and outside the
off, driven inside out and off the back foot through cover
131.3 Singh to Faisal Iqbal, FOUR, and another big hit, heaved over the
on side, not totally in control but it's safe, wide of the fielder
131.2 Singh to Abdul Razzaq, one run, short of a good length and on the
off stumps, defended towards cover for a quick single
131.1 Singh to Faisal Iqbal, one run, played down to long-on for a single

Keep batting Pakistan, just keep batting.

 

[Sanz]

Thats right..that is the only way India can save the test. I hope Faisal makes a double 100 and Razzaq makes his hundred.

 

[Jono]

LOL @ India wasting time.

Seriously all Pakistan are doing here is aiding India's effort to draw this match. I guarantee Dravid and the Indian camp have no desire to go for the win. They'll bat for the draw, and every over Pakistan bat out is just helping India.

Not only should Iqbal get his double ton and Razzaq get his own century, let Akmal score some runs too. I don't mind.

 

[jack_sparrow]

End of over 135 (11 runs)
End of over 136 (16 runs)

 

[Sanz]

Faisal Iqbal is out, Akmal in...

 

[Sanz]

Razzq out and there is the declaration...India need 607 to win in 166 overs. It has never been done before, it will not be done here. Pakistan 1-0. Kamran Akmal Man of the match, Younis Khan man of the Series.

Thank You very much.

Let's at least hope your earlier prediction of India losing the game by tea on day 4 is wrong

Dravid *Gone*....Damn Umps saved Sehwag

Mohammad Asif to Sehwag, no run, short of a good length on the
stumps, this one pitches and seams in, Sehwag tries to defend, pad
first and onto pad, loud shout, that is very, very close! Given
not out!

 

[Jono]

Sehwag gone too. 8-2.

Your prediction about tea may still be wrong, a loss by lunch is looking more likely

 

[Sanz]

There goes Sehwag. My prediction is going to be right.

 

[Hero_Don]

Please tell me, why in the holy hell, if there was 3 whole days left, would you declare your 2nd innings? You have more than enough time to make the best score possible.

[Hero_Don]

[Jono]

Well its lunch. India 2-48, and all at sea.
