Story Pakistan goes to India... (again)

[shahid6995]

Kumble finally gets some reward. Youhana plays down the track and an easy c&b for Kumble, a nice innings of 84 by Youhana, but he should have stayed more. Pakistan now 382/5, partnership between Youhana and Razzaq worth 188.

Shoaib Malik enters the fray. Razzaq nearing his century.

Razzaq survives another loud shout which looked dead on. Is Shep umpiring????

In the nervous nineties Razzaq get bogged down. Plays Kumble for a maiden, then gets nailed on the helmet before finally reaching his century off two consecutive boundaries.

 

[shahid6995]

Shoaib Malik suffers a hit in the nuts before reaching his 50 too...

Right after that, he plays a loose shot to be caught by Tendulkar at cover.

Kamran Akmal joins Razzaq.

This time Shep gives Razzaq out to one which was a lot more doubtful than the shockers he missed!!! lol... Kumble gets the benefit of the doubt on this one instead of Razzaq. In fairness though he should have been out long time ago. Nice innings by Razzaq.

541/7. Tail exposed completely now.

 

[shahid6995]

Akmal caught at square leg. 8th wicket down, now falling quite quickly. 545/8.

 

[shahid6995]

Shoaib goes for a duck stumped off Kumble.

Pathan finishes things off cleaning up Kaneria with a well directed yorker. Pakistan all out for 557 before tea on the first day.

End of innings stats.


India plays one over before tea in which Sehwag caresses Shoaib thru the covers for four.

well good batting there mate, but dont u think that runs are coming a bit too easily.

Well I don't know what to say about that... I am playing with Tutsi's patch 7.5-B4. I have always batted aggressively in this game and prior to using any patches used to have a 20 run average easily, and didnt get out too much either, always had to declare. The patches have certainly made a difference and when I first started with Tutsi's patches I had a really hard time adjusting but now its getting easier, as you can tell.

All the best with your attempt at this, shahid!! Are you playing on Normal Level? Play on Normal Level. Tutsi has announced his latest patch for Normal Level and it is really challenging in the Normal Level, it seems! Check out Tutsi's thread!

Dang it... well thanks for pointing that out... I was playing at hard level. I will have to check with Tutsi what that means. I hope I dont have to start the series all over again!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

wow! you are aggressive! Good Batting!

 

[SaiSrini]

Dont start the series again, Shahid. Just change it to Normal Level and Resume your match! I did that for the 1st test of mine when I switched three patches to find the right one. I have found out the right one with Tutsi's 7.5 Beta-4 patch. Bowling is not easy with it and you'll find it out! Good luck and hoping for Sachin or Dravid to make a century against you!

 

[shahid6995]

Thanks. Thats what Tutsi suggested too. I will do that. May have to wait for the updates until tomorrow though because have too much work to do today.
