"Good to have the howzatt out of the system. Haven't had that for a while!"

Dean Jones on India appealing after a long time.

Interesting how different Afridi's average has been since Woolmer has been coach? He was out of the Pakistan team for a while too.

150 for Afridi now in this inning Amazing really.

I believe the two players that have benefited the most from Woolmer's presence are Afridi and Shoaib Malik. Woolmer's work (whatever he did/say) is specially commendable in case of Afridi, whom most would never have imagined would play such an important part in Pak's recent Test success. Perhaps Afridi would've improved regardless due to age and experience, but I doubt it. Woolmer deserves a lot of credit for this!

finally afridi is out ... not taking anything away from the murderer, but he did get really lucky along the way, well played

 

[JustTool]

Yes. They should Afridi for committing a few murders. He murdered 4 of the Indian bowlers. RIP.

i think kamran akmal is another. And Salman Butt. He has been managed properly by woolmer, and not cast aside like previous coaches have done. (in terms of openers)

You people are forgetting Shoaib Akhtar!

I think Dravid is completely lost. No idea why the absolutely ineffective and listless Pathan is still bowling and RP Singh the highest wicket taker resting ? I think Dravid's sedate style of leadership has put the Indian players to sleep

RP Singh is on his debut. Do you reallly think getting masacred by afridi is going to help his confidence?

When afridi is on a roll, it's hard to stop him, so dravid gave the ball to his most experienced bowler in Anil Kumble. kumble did the job for dravid eventually.

Now RP Singh is back on.

Nice little come-back from India

 

[Pratters]

Shouldn't Inzamam be timed out for this! Really India should have at least appealed if an appeal is required to give a time out decision.

 

[Pratters]

at pictures of Inzy brisk walking in the morning.

Double blow by KUmble!!

Looks like everyone is into protecting bowlers these days. Ok - how about Harbhajan:

Pathan 19 4 106 0 (1nb)
Harbhajan Singh 21 1 75 0 (1nb)

Told ya - RP just got another wicket ! Irfan-ZERO. RP-FOUR

Yup - let's protect him.

Lol. What happened? Couldn't watch today.

I guess they could have. It would definitely have been a great blow. But considering that Inzy is supposed to be injured, I guess they wouldn't do that.

 

[Tony Blade]

Well played Inzi - 25th hundred.

 

[Jono]

Good ton by Inzy but India have fought back here. They need to get one more. Shoaib has shown he can show sense when batting, as seen during the England series. If Inzy stays there and gets support from the other end Pakistan will get 600.

 

[Nate]

Stuff Inzy, not to be forgotten.

Shoaib Akhtar for President!

 

[TT Boy]

Inzamam gone, hopefully Shoaib can still get a fifty.
