Story Pakistan goes to India... (again)

[shahid6995]

Well I know there are some nice threads going on here. I wanted to get my stories up here too so people can follow along. Its a bit time-consuming please bear with me if I dont update as often as I would like, but I hope you will have fun in my Pakistan tour of India! Its a six-test series.

First test, India wins the toss on a hard wicket with cloudless skies, and for some reason, sends Pakistan in.


Nice balanced side for Pakistan, batting down to number 8 and 5 bowlers.


Indian side also looks good.

As you will all see, I am a very aggressive player. I am using Tutsi's 7.5 Beta 4 for these matches.

Pakistan starts its innings as expected: three boundaries and one head high bouncer that goes for four byes. 16/0 after one.


Next over however, the aggression shows why its a bad thing. Silly shot by Butt trying to pull awkwardly....

... and the ball goes straight to square leg who takes it comfortably...

.... and then grasses it!!!! What a reprieve! Butt's butt is safe for now.

 

[shahid6995]

Obviously not learning anything from that, Pakistan continues to smash Indian bowling all around the park and reach 50 in the 5th over.


Both openers continue to dazzle with beautiful shots...

arrgghhh - india could have gotten their first wicket. oh well i gues they have to try harder. you look like an agressive player because you are hitting in the first over it self. well good luck

Eventually, one shot too many brings about Butt's downfall. Trying to loft over mid-on, holes out to a simple catch and this time no mistake by the fielder.


Younis comes in to join Hameed. 92/1 in the 10th over.

[T20]

good going Shahid (not for India so far )..nice screens.

 

[shahid6995]

Pakistan reaches their hundred in the 11th over.


Soon after, Hameed reaches a chanceless 50 with a massive six.

Lol I didnt like how Pakistan was being whipped in the other one!
By the way would you guys want me to change anything about the thumbs or anything else?

 

[shahid6995]

Against the run of play, Hameed plays what was thought to be a safe shot...


...and Tendulkar brings off a stunning catch to send him on his way!



As happens so often, when one opener goes....


Pakistan now 130/2 in the 13th over. Inzi joins Younis.

 

[borncricketer]

Yes 2 wickets down - You are playing good for a test match.

 

[shahid6995]

Younis Khan now commits suicide. Similar attempted hoick over long-off, finds Ganguly waiting.


Pakistan 182/3. Inzi and Youhana now together.

 

[shahid6995]

Inzi is gone! Exactly the same shot, exactly the same result. Ganguly takes his third catch at mid-off.


Pakistan batting is unravelling fast! All un-earned wickets for India, poor shot selection by Pakistan. 194/4 off only 16.5 overs, Razzaq and Youhana try to stem the rot.

 

[shahid6995]

Cutting out the lofted drive completely, Youhana and Razzaq consolidate and are together till lunch. Youhana reaches his fifty and the partnership is worth 98 as Pakistan go into lunch on the first day at 292/4.

 

[shahid6995]

Kumble is on after lunch and immediately starts causing problems, and getting appreciable turn. How this one was not out I dont know.

Razzaq then reaches a well made 50. Needs to stay and convert it to a big score.

Youhana gets a reprieve at 68 when an easy sitter is dropped at square leg. India might regret that!

ANOTHER plumb LBW denied! Kumble is bowling very well.
