Pakistan Series: Cricket

[ScallyWag II]

First innings lead, Trescothick unbeaten on 150

Looking good

only goodish at the mo

Trescothick was great tho, what a bat!

84 for 1 now, can't believe it i've been up since 4am watching it and have managed to miss every single wicket

 

[ScallyWag II]

bloody hell, Butt should have gone then (run out) but the third umpire didn't give it

 

[Flashman]

That was out. Two inches out of the crease and the stumps are broken. If you can't get those right fuck off.

 

[Flashman]

Thank fuck. We really need to run through them otherwise it's curtains IMO, I don't fancy us to score much more than 200 against Kaneria.

 

[Flashman]

Actually I'm wrong, law 28 states that the bail has to be completely removed from the stump. Still think that was the case, however an element of doubt may have caused the ump to give that decision. Fred strikes again.

 

[Flashman]

Fred again. Come on chaps. 291-6 a lead of 147.

 

[Flashman]

Hoggard!! Huzzah. Effectively 151-7.

 

[ScallyWag II]

Yes! Butt gone for 122, just the tail enders remain

 

[chegrimandi]

blimey - four wickets in the time it took for me to leave the house and get to work! get in!!

 

[JTG]

3 wickets since I got out of bed...

Got to stop the overrated showpony carting it everywhere now.

 

[chegrimandi]

won't fancy us chasing much over 200 with their two leggies and them going up for everything.....

 

[starfish]

Cant believe Bell finally got some runs. About bloody time.

 

[JTG]

I can.

Honestly, ONE bad series (in which he scored two half centuries) and he gets written off

 

[flimsier]

England just pulled it back when it looked like it was running away from them.

 

[starfish]

I can.

Yeah, but you know im not a fan of his. If he can change that by scoring big runs then all well & good. Im sure he intends to.

 

[JTG]

That's it, 198 to win.

Congratulations to Kevin Pietersen on his first catch in Test cricket

 

[JTG]

Have to say that even though I've not seen any of this, I'm mightily impressed with our seamers so far. All three of them are doing a fine job in tough conditions.

 

[Biddlybee]

Congratulations to Kevin Pietersen on his first catch in Test cricket

indeed - at bloody last!!!

 

[Flashman]

198 to win. The battle against Kaneria begins proper, although Shabbir bowled well with the new cherry t'other day, and Shoaib might come to the party one never knows with him. England favourites, might be nail-biting. Come on chaps.

 

[starfish]

What time is close of play today?

 

[Flashman]

What time is close of play today?

Usually offer the light around 11:40-45.

 

[ScallyWag II]

I can.

Honestly, ONE bad series (in which he scored two half centuries) and he gets written off

and he made a blinding catch!

Pakistan all out, 198 to win

it's great being ill when the crickets on!

 

[JTG]

and he made a blinding catch!

Yep, he's a brilliant close fielder as well as a talented batsman

We'll do this, get 'em in singles.

 

[Flashman]

Tres gone. Shabbir bowling beautifully around the wicket to the lefties, Strauss edged one just short of slip.

 

[Flashman]

24-1 at COP, 174 to win.

 

[chegrimandi]

24-1 at COP, 174 to win.

well thats a turn up for the books, when I got up Pakistan going on their merry way at 250-3 - its that strong day four again, though we left it late this time!

still reckon we could make a meal of knocking off the remaining 174 but think we'll just about get there for 7 down I predict....

New ball did the damage, Pak made 70 odd for 7 once it was taken.
Agree, I think Shabbir may grab a couple in the morning and Kaneria a few later, but fingers crossed we'll get home with 6 down or so.

 

[gunneradt]

That was out. Two inches out of the crease and the stumps are broken. If you can't get those right fuck off.

Now where did the 3rd umpire come from? Nothing much changes in Pakistan cricket wise.
