Declaration

Atherton: Chanderpaul went 3rd ball after tea and the declaration was immediatly called. This meant that the 239-8 declared and had set Pakistan 371 runs to win of the final 4 sessions. As the day progressed Pakistan batted solidly only losingt the one wicket and scoring 97 runs. This meant with the score on 97-1 They need 277 to win during the final days play with 9 wickets in hand. The only wicket came from debutant Amit Jaggernauth and his first in test cricket. Apart from him the bowling was average and although there were chances Umar and Khan buckled down to put the Pakistanis in a serious position to win. Lets see how the final day pans out.

Farhat Goes with the score on 67. HE batted well and played some good strokes but got a bit over confident. With only teh sixth ball of the innings from Jaggernauth he tried to sweep him against the spin into the vacant deep square leg area. This only resulted in the ball turning and clipping the blade of the bat to go straight into the hands of slip fielder and debutant Imran Khan.

So Here it is as it stands at the end of the fourth day.

Some snaps of Farhat, the west Indian fielding, and Khan and Umar

Holding: Good morning, and there has been serious overnight preparation, the Pakistani batsmen where in the nets till 7.30 last night here at the ground and for an hour and a half after the game the west Indian bowlers were out on the pitch in the dark condtions bowling at one stump to get their lines ready for today. The intensity of this match is awesome. I was here at 7.00 this morning 4 hours before play starts and now two hours later out here on teh pitch looking at a hard solid track with a few cracks i look out to here singing and cheering from both parties. The PAkistan fans has flooded in throughout the game, but there has been an outbreak in the upper tier of the North end. There has been chanting since the gates opened and currently the west indian bowlers(Lawson, Edwards, Bravo, Banks and Jaggernauth) in the nets by the pavilion adn out back are three of the Pakistani Batsmen(Khan, Yousef and Inzamam) Preparing for what we hope to be a very exciting game. All the best to both teams and lets hope we see a great finish to a fabulous first test.

Both Teams are up to fight it out and look to continue their form though to the second test

The first session was one for Pakistan the West Indians only taking one wicket and conceding 102 runs. The partnership of 118 was finally broken with a plumb LBW from Dwayne Bravo the two batsmen had played a string of wonderful shots and the West Indians are currently in a losing ship and need to seriously turn it AROUND.

After batting superbly for a well earnt 81(139) Taufeeq Umar jsut played down the wrong line of one that nipped into the Left HAnder and had him LBW the game is currently going towards the Pkaistanis and Umar has helped the cause.

Shots.

a Story Of Dropped Catches And Unlucky Decisions



The Session has been filled with 5 dropped catches from the west Indians to help Khan and Inzamam single handedly run the match away from teh west Indies. Now needingonly 67 to win in the final session all that could save the Windies is a miracle. GAME PAKISTAN

OH DEAR

Im sorry to say but Pakistan have trundled through and won a close game by a large margin of 8 wickets. Inzamam and Younis Khan put on 182 for the third wicket to steer Pakistan to safety. Im sorry to say but No one who said West Indies would win, won. Those(Griffo) Who said khan would top score were correct and again most wickets where right. reps for Griffo only as his guess was correct. The Test has come to a sorry end and im also sorry to say the rest of the series will be in the ahnds of PUNJAB TV. THIS MEANS THE STRUCTURE OF STORY WILL BE DIFFERENT FOR THIS SERIES PROBABLY GOING INTO A LOT LESS DEPTH ALTHOUGH THERE STANDARD OF INTERVIEWS AND TALKS WILL EBCOME HIGHER.

SO HER FROM SKY SPORTS SEE YOU IN TWO MOTNHS WHEN AUSTRALIA WILL TOUR WEST INDIES TILL THEN SEE YOU AND GO ON THE WINDIES.[/I]

CHANGES

PAKISTAN
MUSHTAQ FOR AKHTAR

WEST INDIES
TAYLOR FOR EDWARDS
JAGGERNAUTH FOR SAMUELS


PITCH INSPECTION

AKRAM : The pitch is very similar to the first test, a very hard flat pitch that will be perfect for batting. Looking at the pitch tehir amy be some cracks later on in the test and this means the ball will seam about. This has meatn both sides have taken out their full tiem spinner Pakistan brining in the raw pace of Akhtar and the Windies bringing in Samuels as an extra batting option.

I expect their to be a lot of runs and whoever wins the toss will bat first

TOSS

The Toss has been won by Inzamam

Miandad : Hello here i am with the Pakistani captain Inzamam Ul Haq and he has won the toss, what are you gong to do then and whats happened with the selection for this test?

Inzamam: Well im going to have a bat. Looking at this track i think there will be plenty of runs and after seeing the weakness of the West Indians second innings in the first test i am confident that we can set them a huge total. I have chosen to bring Akhtar into the side relying he gets his lines right i think he could be deadly on this track, no change in the batting after such a comprehensive win in teh first test.

Miandad : And now Brian your opinion on having to bowl and the changes in your starting line up?

Lara: Obviously we would have prefered to bat but looking at it if we pick up some arly wickets i am confident we can jump right back into this series. The changes, Jaggernauth is out afer looking at this track there is no place for spinners and Samuels as come in as a lower order batsmen. Also we have dropped Fidel as he has been involved as you may no in an off the pitch accident in which he was racially assaulted by two South African men. He will hopefully recover for the one day series and deffinatly before we host Australia. His replacement is Taylor who is highly rated and really has a chance to prove himself as one fo the best bowlers in the world.

Miandad: So both captains are confident and will have to see how the first day unfolds see you again at the end of the Days play.

 

[Hooper]

Whos that I Khan guy in the WIndies squad? What the hell?

 

[freddiw]

Hooper, he is 24 and i think he is under 19 west indies, in game imran khan

Akram: Good Afternoon and today we saw a positive day of cricketr for the bowlers, I ahve here in the studio with me Younis Khan pakistan Batsmena dn vice-captain adn West Indian number 11 and opening bowler Jermaine Taylor.

The day started well for the West Indians with only 23 mintues of play being played and 33 balls. Coming in for teh 34th Lawson cleaned up Taufeeq Umar and put the Pakistanis under serious pressure, at 14-1. Younis Khan and Imran Farhat put on possibly the best partnership of the series so far taking the score to 173-2 playing classy shots and confidently running the show. Until after 50 overs Omari Banks got one to turn a bit and Khan top edged the ball straight into the hands of Sarwan. This Base was all the Pakistanis could have dreamt of so when only 7 overs later Taylor came back into the attack and with his very first delivaries started possibly the worst clapse in Pakistani cricket for a long time.

First Inzamam went chipping to mid off on only 11, then Taylor got a bit of bonce and Gayle took an awesome catch at second slip to dismiss Yousef for only one. 198-4 and 7 balls and 1 run later it was 199-5 and Bravo had Razzaq caught behind for a four ball duck.

Now looking in serious trouble PAkistan did not help them selves going from a commanding position of 173-1, to a disatrous position at 199-5 26 runs going for four wickets

With the score on 199-5 Akmal and Farhat began to rebuild boosting the score to 237-5 and going well until Farhat played completely down the wrong line and nicked the ball for lara to pouch comfortably behind the stumps, This brought Banks his second wicket and having got both Khan and Farhat in the region of 80-95 he had two vital wickets under his belt.

238-7 and a golden duck for Akhtar trying to hit the ball out of Pakistan and ending up lbw to a fiery yorker from Lawson. 244-8 and Akmal finally goes for a sturdy 19 from 53 deliveries. The last two wickets went with only 10 more runs added to the total. Banks taking both of them and ending with figures of 68-4

Akram: So the West Indies came out to bat with 10 overs of play remaining the first 8 overs went by without a hastle but then W.Ahmed came in to bowl and his first delivary had Gayle cleaned up. This meant Sarwan came in with 11 balls to deviate. They survived and are 25-1 at the end of the First Day

Now a few questions for you two

Looks Over To Khan and Taylorl

Akram: Just Khan you first, what was it like to bat out there any trouble with the pitch?

Khan: No, i dont see anything in the pitch that should stop you as a batsmen, me and Imran(Farhat) felt comfy and its just annoying for the team to have collapsed like we did.

Akram: The collapse started as your wicket fell, do you think there is a reason behind this

Khan: No, obviously as the wicket fell the bowlers got some confidence back and then very well done to them for playing so well and restricting us to 250. But you know what they say 1 wicket brings 2 and i think tommorow is going to be a very good day of cricket

Akram: Yes, and Yousef has not been in good form is any action going to be taken or will he remain in the side?

Khan: Mohammed has to be treated like any other player so if he fails in the second innings there may be another batsmen brought in but i have trust in him and i know the selectors trus him after he has had such a good year.

Akram: Thankyou very much Younis and good luck tommorow,

YOUNIS KHAN LEAVES

Akram: Jerome, well bowled today does it feel good to be back in the National side?

Taylor: Obviously it feels fantastic to come in and although we all feel very bad for Fidel i have to admit i was very ahppy with how i played and figures of 3-47 made me a very happy man.

Akram: And what is your opinion of the pitch anything suspect for the batsmen?

Taylor: No i feel Brian, Shivran, Wavell and Ramnaresh will all make good runs tommorow and hopefully i wont have to bowl till the third day.

Akram: Thankyou and see you again tommorow
