**Official** India v Pakistan

[honestbharani]

but the fact is that hehad now a few bad games

and his golden bail presentation today was made bad by his decision yesterday

Everyone except Nnanden seems to know that Bucknor has been very bad for a couple of years now. This is not 99 when he was one of the two best umps around.

Hardly ever have i seen all their batters playing responsibly.

Tell me how often does a side's entire batting line up all perform in one innings?

 

[marc71178]

And with him goes the hopes of Pakistan of saving the match

Afridi is far from Pakistan's hopes of saving the game.

If he'd batted through they'd have won the game.

 

[PAKMAN]

the funny thing is, Im aussie all the way. I just love my cricket and the way the Pakistanis play it

exactly when pakistan plays any thing could happen all in all they are very exciting to watch

 

[deeps]

especially afridi!

if afridi can bat a whole day pakistan would be able to make 500 in a day and i'm not joking

 

[Anil]

if inzy plays a great innings, pakistan are in with a chance..

 

[Mecnun]

chance of a draw if pak can keep 5 wickets intact till the session after tea.

 

[Shahid_afridi]

well guys today was another great day for sami...sorry for you guys but sami was just better than the indian batsmen(especially ganguly)today!and i dont care about his test-averages as long as he plays good against india so please dont tell me to raise my standarts
i think the highlight of the day was when afridi got hit by pathan and hit him for a six on the next ball.thats just shahid afridi at his best

karthik's innings was sweet! so this is what everyone was talking about when he was cracking centuries for tamil nadu a year ago. that pull shot of his was so damn good..i never knew he had that shot. would've been nice if he had got the 100...youngest wicket keeper in international cricket history to get one..but it was a very entertaining knock and it's nice to know that india has found a selfless batsman in KKD. he has destroyed the hopes of kiran more to give his golden boy parthiv another chance.

 

[all_waY]

go pak go

 

[Sanz]

Yes, at no point had they agreed to play on in unsuitable conditions.

Nonsense, what do you think Tendulkar was doing after Bucknor refused his appeal for lights. According to him it was already unsuitable condition.

I see you conveniently ignore the part of the post where I refuted your claim about rules. Not that I expect any better from you.

Anyways will wait for another garbage post from you.

 

[marc71178]

Nonsense, what do you think Tendulkar was doing after Bucknor refused his appeal for lights.

Since the umpires had at no point offered the lights, the batsmen had had no opportunity to turn the offer down and thus "agree to play on in unsuitable conditions"

 

[Unattainableguy]

So Pakistan need 327 at 3.63/over. Easily manageable if they bat out the entire day.

Well, the match is pretty even at this moment, but the only advantage Pakistan have is that they can, at any moment, start playing in the defensive mode.

This Match needs to be Authorized in High Resolution DVD-R. Classic
