Is there any way this match can be seen online ???
Any links guys ???

Pakistan 245
India 14/1 (4.2 ov)

India trail by 231 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
India RR: 3.23

Minimum overs remaining today: 22.4

- Pak fought back and rattled Indian top order.... Ind 74/4
Now, the real match began for the Bengal Tiger whether to stay in inner circle or outer. Let's see wat happens on the second day.

Congrat to Pathan for registering into Test hat-trick club.

yeah guys, is there anyway we can see this test online?? i mean any free sites..?? do i sound crazy? aba cricket nahereko 3 yrs bhai sakyo yaar. tyesaile forgive me if i sound crazy hehe..... just wanna see Shoaib Akhtar take out the middle stump of Ganguly at 155 kph. That would be fun man. I heard that Akhtar hit a ball at 156 kph on Sachin's helmet. If that is true then, I'm glad Sachin is still in one piece !!

Finally something that is truly living up to the hype of india-pak series.

A couple more wickets and we'll see afridi afridi-ing india with his fast one's like those of shoaib ;). Hatrick in the first over is prolly ultimate dream of every bowler. Pathan will be treated as a deity as he did it against pakistan. But Fightback from Akmal showed the character of this paki team esp against india ;). Les hope for few toe crushers as well than just thunderbolts.

This one is going to be a close call, but my take is PAK, simply because they perform better in pressure and shine with true colors especially against india. Indians on the other hand have a classy batting line up, but with the likes of speedgun Shoaib and deceiving Afridi in the bowling armory, PAk have a definite advantage against Indians. The indians seem to succum to the pressure of PAK bowling time and agian and lose wickets cheaply. This test will be no exception.

Since the track is all seemer's friendly and India have to bat last, PAK team should be delighted and bowl a descent line and length throughtout to claim this test.

Finally Pakistan screwed back Indian a$$ .... :-)

This link should work.

my oh my
how the scenario changes once the pitch lets the bowlers have a say :)
australia notwithstanding,
would anyone disagree with me if i said on their best days, pakistan have the best bowling lineup and india the best batting lineup in the world?

Ganguly is OUT and Dhoni in !!!!! Deficit just below 100... This test match could go anywhere.

Yesterday I was lucky to watch the free video in WINAMP. Today, it is not working. I can just watch live scorecard from www.cricinfo.com

Lets see what Yuvraj and Dhoni can do

- checking the score soon after reading Putali's post, i found the followings:

Recent Overs: . . . 1 . . | 4 . . 1 . 4 | . 1 4 1 W . | W . . . 1

Current Partnership: 1 run, 0.4 overs, RR: 1.50


Last Wicket: 165/7 (35.1 ov); Partnership: 0 runs, 0.2 overs, RR: 0.00
MS Dhoni c Kamran Akmal b Abdul Razzaq 13 (13b 3x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
35.5 Abdul Razzaq to Kumble, one run, down the leg side, short of a
length, Kumble fends the ball to the leg side, Akmal dives but
cannot quite hold onto that tough chance
35.4 Abdul Razzaq to Kumble, no run, full and on the stumps, driven to
mid-on
35.3 Abdul Razzaq to Kumble, no run, fullish and drifting down the leg
side, flick played and missed, off the pad to the leg side
35.2 Abdul Razzaq to Kumble, no run, just short of a good length and on
the stumps, Kumble goes back and defends back down the pitch
35.1 Abdul Razzaq to Dhoni, OUT: just short of a length, on the off, a
hint of movement away, Dhoni goes for the booming drive and can
only manage an outside edge to the keeper! Razzaq does it again
for Pakistan!

India 165/7, Partnership of 0
MS Dhoni c Kamran Akmal b Abdul Razzaq 13 (13b 3x4 0x6)
IK Pathan 0* (1b) Abdul Razzaq 9.1-2-48-3 (4nb)

India in deep strife now, staring down the barrel at 165 for 7!
Pakistan have roared back into this Test match of twists and turns

End of over 35 (6 runs) India 165/6 (trail by 80 runs)
Mohammad Asif 15-1-59-3 (3nb) - Pavilion End
MS Dhoni 13* (12b 3x4) IK Pathan 0* (1b)

34.6 Mohammad Asif to Pathan, no run, short of a good length and outside
the off, driven at, off the outside edge to gully
34.5 Mohammad Asif to Yuvraj Singh, OUT: fullish, skidding off the
pitch, Yuvraj comes half forward to defend, the ball thuds into
pad and then hits bat, three's a loud shout for lbw. Upheld! That
pitched in line with leg and was heading for middle. Big blow for
the Indians!

---- Razzaq is NO DOUBT one of the best all rounders. He has not only taken a crucial wicket (10dulkar) but also (mostly) contributes well on the scoreboard.
Md. Asif, looks like, he will be chosen for the rest ODIs... he is performing so well.

--THe final test going so interesting.... good news is that, this gonna be a DECIDED match.

thx for the link though it is working for a micro second only.

tendulkar tiredly tried to trounce the trundlers but the tennis elbow took its toll.. truth be told, its time to terminate the tragedy that is tendulkar's time on the turf

.II-inning began so quickly. It took only 1.5 days for the Ist inning. Match is getting interesting now :)))

Pak used only 3 regular bowlers and Afridi at the end only. Asif did a great job. Younis Khan din't use Kaneria during the first inning. The pitch giving more advantage to the fast bowlers.

Pak openers playing patiently now

Pakistan 245 & 22 for no loss (5.4 ov)

- n. nepali==> i think it's not free. Give the exact link.

Pakistan have the upper hand by the close of hte play, Day 2. But it looks like that this pitch is difficult to play when the ball is new (Pakistan second inning does not suggest this though). And once the ball loses its shine, it may not be that difficult to play. So Pakistan should be able to take a sizeable lead on the third day. If Pakistan bat the whole third day, they should not have any difficulty in winning this test. I think that is what they will try to do on third day. If they can do so, they will have a good total to defend and plenty of time (2 days ) to take 10 Indian wickets. But since there is no Inzamam and Afridi is unpredictable, Pakistan may collapse on third day. I think the key to this test will be how long Younis and Yousuf bat and how well Indian top order bats. If Pakistan can rattle indian top order, they will win this match. Anyway, this test is shaping perfectly. Lets see what happens...

so, finally what would Pak ask for, almost perfect day of cricket for them. They could have left India to more precarious position than this had they not dropped the initial chances with Pathan and Zaheer but the way they batted in the 2nd innings made sure they take a firm grip of this test and hence the series.

Remaining task:
- Bat through the third day and set a 450+ target for the indians.
- Sehwag will be the key person so will be Dravid, get 'em out cheaply and impose the pressure on the middle order. I am sure they will succum to the pressure of the tall order and tight bowling from the Pakistanis. Remember, indians are bowling last in this and the way the pitch have behaves so far, it would be a bowler's paradise altogether in the last couple of days.


Don't want to sound too over ambitious but series has mostly been finalised.
Pak -1 Ind -0.

with few experience of playing cricket myself and a dyehard fan ,,its a grt thing to comment here.....
mr lonely ur predection is 50/50....now the match is on ,no one hand....believe me 3rd day is the crucial.....it also looks as the match in progress the pitch is damping out.. good for batsman...if on 3 rd day pak able to play whole day and amke target of 400 plus then pak holds a strong position..but with the new ball it is really hard to stand with deceiving bowlers like pathan....so first 15 overs of the 3 rd day play pretty much gonna decide but still guys u never know in cricket...and my inner inguest tells me that either vvs laxman or sehawg gonna change the turning point...sachinis too tired guys...so u need today action just write to me back ,,we watch here live from internet....ok guys i think however india gonna win it becoz of second batting and they play well against pak in any of the pressure match............................
