[imshally81]

LOL @ people talking about RR. Pakistan need a wicket asap, Canada slightly ahead atm.

RR is also very important.....

[hur rizvi]

wahab needs to improve ...

[Sherlock]

Good over from Kaptaan. Please bring Ajmal on. Could be the difference between more wickets or more runs.

[saeed-sohail]

Bring on Ajmal next over. Wahab is better at the death.

There will be premature death today.

[Strike!]

Need to get that required run rate up to 7 somehow.

[cricket_fan_1]

Jay: "Boy this Canada side is full of nationals, was just checking all the profiles of the players, and kinda shocked to find player from 7 nations out of 11. (Uganda, Jamica, India, Pakistan, sri lanka, USA, and Canada)"

[ZAK]

41/2.

[PakWC'11Champs]

Just woke up a half hour ago. Came to check score. ONLY Pakistan could go from beating hosts + favs Sri Lanka to being in position to lose to Canada.

Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan. lol

Anyway seems the guys are holding Canada down a bit. Hopefully we can get them all out for less than 185.

[Vegitto1]

I noticed that they showed the replay of afridi's last appeal. Which Harper rightly turned down.

However no replay was shown of the previous 2 appeals at all. Could it be that those were out and weren't shown to avoid further embarrassment for Harper?

[Noman]

we need a wicket or otherwise ensure that a lot of dot bowls and run rate comes close to 6

[Rizie]

odds on Canada 3.75 :butt

[Muhammad Waleed]

Canada :25:

[strongman123]

Bring on Ajmal and his pakoras need wickets asap, and need to choke the runs.

[Faisalabadimunda]

canada dnt care about the runs, thy want to keep wickets in hand and go for it later on with cheema still to come.

[arsalan660]

Need couple of wickets

[Rizz Khan]

Wahab!!

[qamar84]

wahab need to make a impact here

[munna_]

Need to get that required run rate up to 7 somehow.

thats only possible if we keep taking wickets!

[qamar84]

Bring on Ajmal and his pakoras need wickets asap, and need to choke the runs.

and i need chatney

[Noman]

wahab come one..

[Sledger]

Good single.

[liaqat]

need a wicket now... wahab doesnt look threatening

[strongman123]

Lets get things in perspective, Bangladesh defended 205 against Ireland, we are better than Banladesh, and Canada is worse than Ireland, by that logic the win is in the bag. :35:

[munna_]

wickets wickets wickets... take wickets... wickets wickets...
we're gona keep saying that until they start taking wickets wickets wickets .. :93:

[Faisalabadimunda]

cmon boyss

[KingKhanWC]

lack of fielder on leg side.

[chui_kadoo]

easy single there

[Sledger]

RR is also very important.....

Almost completely irrelevant.

[Schickelgruber]

Looking very dull right now... getting some bad vibes of Ireland right here.

[Sledger]

Wahab being milked like a spinner atm.

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Pakistan.

[GOAT]

Woah. Its actually looking daunting for us.

[hur rizvi]

wahab giving easy runs

[cricket_fan_1]

singles being given away

[mithun_minhas]

Wahab looking like a pie thrower. Totally non-threatening.

Pakistan needs Afridi's magic soon. :afridi

[Bullet Drive]

Noone ever drives Wahab .

[Sledger]

That was a gift, batsman missed.

[qamar84]

Lets get things in perspective, Bangladesh defended 205 against Ireland, we are better than Banladesh, and Canada is worse than Ireland, by that logic the win is in the bag. :35:

sorry bro could'nt follow you...

[Faisalabadimunda]

canada easily playing wahab and getting the sinlges

[midaz]

Wahab is leaking runs here

[Bullet Drive]

Good over. Afridi and Ajmal need to bowl together though .

[qamar84]

3 for the overs

[ZAK]

44/2.

[Noman]

Whab

[Sledger]

44/2.

Bring on magic balls. :ajmal

[ace4rmspace]

Some body look me in the eye and tell me that we can win this ... or I'm going to OD on fried potatoes tonight.

[imshally81]

from cricbuzz

An interesting chat: Rameez Raja and Ian Chappell were having a fascinating chat about how Afridi keeps talking to the bowlers constantly. Ian says even the bowlers need to concentrate like how batsmen do. Rameez Raja picked it up and said Sachin was the same. Ian reckoned Sachin was far worse and wondered how Srinath did not turn around and plonk him on the head. Ian's version of why Srinath did not do so was that he was a placid character and more aggressive fast bowlers would not have kept quiet. Rameez ends with this gem: Maybe it has to do with the character of the South Indians (referring to Srinath). The million dollar question is that how does Rameez know about South Indians?

[KingKhanWC]

That's out surely, review it.

[munna_]

this looks promising :D

[Bullet Drive]

Out i think

[Sledger]

Reviewed lbw.

[Noman]

Lets get things in perspective, Bangladesh defended 205 against Ireland, we are better than Banladesh, and Canada is worse than Ireland, by that logic the win is in the bag. :35:

Logic doesnt work against Pak.

[chui_kadoo]

that seems plumb

[iRfaN_LA]

Can we replace Wahab with akhtar? :13

[qamar84]

[PakPosheeda]

This is turning out to be a Harper show! Hattrick for Harper!

[zainkhan]

Dont mess with Afridi 11

[ads101]

This is stupid. Players doing their own umpiring. Sorry for the batsmen and bowlers. Shouldn't have to take risks appealing on every decision.

[Shayan_Sohail]

Afridi cha gaya! :afridi

this has to be the worst umpiring i have seen

[liaqat]

propper crap umpiring here

[pakcricketfan]

Harper is in TOP form tonight! :))

[sada90]

empire or afridi??

[AZ]

Harper :)))

I don't care who wins, Harper is the real show here.

[hur rizvi]

:out


4 decisions made and 4 decisions reversed what great umpiring

[KingKhanWC]

Is Harper drinking and umpiring? Breathalise the fool.

[Faisalabadimunda]

bom boo

[Sherlock]

Yes, well done Afridi.

[hamzamunir]

Yaar Koi kaana bhi iss bandhe seh umpiring ache karle...what a fool harper is. :sami

[Muhammad Waleed]

This umpire doesn't have the upper part.

:16:

[Vegitto1]

Harper you are absolutely, completely and utterly rubbish!

Afraid you is LEGEND!!!!

[Rizie]

harper is just crazy afridi's and gul's shouts were clearly out

[cricketpassion]

Harper sharam se doob mar

[Sledger]

Hansra the new man.

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi is on a role.

[ZAK]

Jimmy Hansra is the new man in.

[Bullet Drive]

Kamran said ' well bowled LALA' LOL

[qamar84]

we should get some exception when we got harper as umpires they should be unlimited review for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bullet Drive]

4th overturned decision.

[Pakipride19]

I want to see Ajmal's new ball!!

[ace4rmspace]

Get in there Skip!

[strongman123]

What is Harper doing? He getting called out, how embarassing to have to constantly reverse your own decisions, he needs up his standards or just bow out, really poor umpiring.

[Faisalabadimunda]

wth wrong witht tharper.

[Sledger]

Harper. :)))

[munna_]

one more plzzzz? :afridi :wahab

[osee_bhai]

"well bowled lala"

[qamar84]

kakmal shouting well ball LALA

[Bullet Drive]

4 runsssssss

[Sledger]

Poor ball, 4.

[munna_]

woah :|

[chui_kadoo]

thats a great shot

[Bullet Drive]

Bring on Ajmal now. NOT WAHAB.

[KingKhanWC]

Nearly a very good over.

[ZAK]

Rubbish ball to finish the over with.

[mithun_minhas]

Amarbir Singh Hansra to score 50 today?

http://static.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/128500/128582.1.jpg

[qamar84]

BAD ball LALA!!!!!!

[PakPosheeda]

Stupid Afridi in inspired by Canada's fat leggie and trying to bowl too much on legside.

[GOAT]

2 more wickets and the match should be in our favour. About even now, maybe tipping Canada still.

[Sledger]

Will need it to reverse later. :gul

[ZAK]

48/3.

[Faisalabadimunda]

4 wrong decistion byt harper.

[hur rizvi]

wahab bowling pathetic line

[chui_kadoo]

single

[munna_]

seemed like afridi cud change his hand gestures to a finger gesture there while reviewing :P

[qamar84]

4 succesfull reverse decision

[chui_kadoo]

please stop the singles

[hur rizvi]

Hansra in aggressive mode

[Bullet Drive]

Any chance of rain?

[KingKhanWC]

Aah cute puppy. :rana

[munna_]

even the dogs dont like wat they are seeing from our team :facepalm:

[TigerJat]

should give ajmal a chance now, he has more variety, and Canada have probably not seen him before

[hamzamunir]

Wahab yorkers and pitch it up!

[qamar84]

seemed like afridi cud change his hand gestures to a finger gesture there while reviewing :P

good one:))):)))

[GOAT]

Woah, theres girls supporting Canada.. I must find them when they come back.

[Sledger]

Wahab seems quite defensive here, looks to be containing instead of attacking.

[strongman123]

Afridi needs to bring Ajmal in place of Wahab, he will strike some quick blows.

[sada90]

ok pakpassion..cricket gurus..who is winning according to d/L method..
?/
any chance of rain today ??

[Sherlock]

A Wicket is coming. Hansra is looking to smash the bowlers.

[ZAK]

49/3.

[Sledger]

Good over, one off.

[Faisalabadimunda]

well bowled wathatb

[Sledger]

That is one hyper dog. :warne

[pak4life]

wahab bowling too short lala needs to have a word

[Bullet Drive]

Zubin is 12 of 40 haha. De silva anyone?

[Bullet Drive]

Tony Greig my fav commentator is on.

[Sledger]

Silly shot against Afridi.

[chui_kadoo]

ooh that was close

[KingKhanWC]

ok pakpassion..cricket gurus..who is winning according to d/L method..
?/
any chance of rain today ??

No rain just cloudy and very humid 83%.

[mithun_minhas]

Will the Indian score 50 today and ruin Pakistan's streak here?

http://static.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/128500/128582.1.jpg

[strongman123]

Good bowling by Wahab, atleast he is not giving away runs, Afridi can strike from the other end. Both batsman are batting with a strike of less than 50.

[iRfaN_LA]

CMON Afridi ! get his surkari out plz !!!! :(

[Sledger]

50 up.

[ZAK]

50 up for Canada.

[ace4rmspace]

Why has the field dropped back?

[Faisalabadimunda]

50 upt

[GOAT]

Throw the ball to Hafeez for the next over, then Ajmal. Guaranteed wicket.

[Bullet Drive]

1 off the over. Bring Ajmal on now please. Not when its to late.

[Amjid Javed]

Run rate isnt an issue and never will be i think! With Cheema still to come as well pretty much Pakistan need to bowl canada out here!

[ZAK]

50/3.

[chui_kadoo]

1 off the over

[munna_]

required rate still under 4.5 .... 2 more wickets soon shud shoot that up ...
they are already under a lot of pressure ... keep them tight and they are gona implode inshAllah!
