Pakistan vs Canada | WC'11 | Group A | Colombo | 03/03/11 - Canada Innings

[Sledger]

50 in 20 overs. :|

[Bullet Drive]

good ball.

[qamar84]

we should give a supari to sukhari

[Faisalabadimunda]

canada playing out afridi.t

[Sledger]

88mph Wahab.

[ads101]

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!
it will if it gets over 5.

But that's still some way off.

[chui_kadoo]

they should bring in Ajmal for Riaz next over

[AZ]

lol, got this joke on SMS:

A girl wanted to invite Nargis,Amir liaquat,Shah Rukh Khan and a khusra to her wedding...

Her brother saved money and invited,


Sahir Lodhi...

:))

[Sherlock]

Ajmal coming on soon.

[chui_kadoo]

seems like four

[KingKhanWC]

The ball has to reverse tonight and soon.

Good fielding on the ropes by Asad.

[strongman123]

50 for 3 after 20 overs, hopefully they are 6 down by the time they reach 100. I predict Canada won't get past 150, unless someone plays a really good innings ala Kevin O'Brien.

[Bullet Drive]

Fourrrrrrr

[tauseefm]

Come on guys need more wickets :(

[cricketpassion]

Lala leading wicket taker so far in WC

[munna_]

good murghi fielding by :shafiq

[Sledger]

Beasty stuff from Inzamam Shafiq.

[ScotRaz]

Super Fielding!!!! Asad stops a 4 twice! :)

[GOAT]

LOL Asad is a legend!!!

[ZAK]

Well done Asad.

[Bullet Drive]

Well stopped. Come on Ajmal. Bring on Ajmal alongside Afridi.

[Faisalabadimunda]

take wahab of man.tttttt

[PakPosheeda]

Still Riaz on :facepalm:

Let me guess, Afridi's saving Saeed Ajmal for the PP.

Asad Shafiq is a great fielder.

[AZ]

amazing effort by Asad, fantastic.

[munna_]

is that sweat or are the canadian kits made of polythene? :p

[hur rizvi]

wahab looking seriously average

[Sherlock]

Wahab bowling too short. Why?

[Bullet Drive]

Canada will never pick Ajmal's doosra. WIDE BALL.

[chui_kadoo]

:wide poor ball

[Sledger]

Wide.

[KingKhanWC]

Generous wide.

[ZAK]

:wide

[PakPosheeda]

lol, got this joke on SMS:

A girl wanted to invite Nargis,Amir liaquat,Shah Rukh Khan and a khusra to her wedding...

Her brother saved money and invited,


Sahir Lodhi...

:))
:)))

[Bullet Drive]

131 off 176

[ads101]

poor ball that.

[Sherazkhalid]

I am not sure if we can win this game, too many wickets in hand for Canada and our own Cheema is still there.

[ace4rmspace]

Can someone tell Wahab where the stumps are please? Thank you.

[tauseefm]

WTH is Wahab doing?

[Muhammad Waleed]

Ajmal ?

[hamzamunir]

with these many wides this guy gives...his name should be WAHABIDE

[Bullet Drive]

Hansra looks like that guy from Four Lions LOOL.

[TigerJat]

wide by riaz, cannot do that we don't have enough runs to give extras

[Sledger]

Razzaq.. what an athlete. :)))

[Faisalabadimunda]

wahab gett a wicket plzzzzzz

[ScotRaz]

Where are the yorkers gone!

[chui_kadoo]

54-3 after 21

[ZAK]

54/3.

[Sledger]

Hansra looks like that guy from Four Lions LOOL.

The fonejacker? :))

[Amjid Javed]

131 needed from 29 overs.

[Bullet Drive]

You guys are all scared of Cheema like he's some Gayle or something. The guy is so inconsistent. Even more inconsistent than Razzaq & Afridi put together. His batting style reminds me of Chris Martin

[TigerJat]

wahab is beating the edge, once per over, but not getting anythign Iwould give hte ball to Ajmal in an over or two.

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi back on.

[hur rizvi]

We need ajmal from wahab's end and when afridi ends his spell hafeez from his end

[mithun_minhas]

Riaz needs Baidyanath Vita-X. The guy seems to have as much energy as my Grandma. Absolutely lethargic!!

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal should bowl next over.

[Sherazkhalid]

Ajmal haven't even bowled a single over yet, this game we need to try Hafeez as well. Minnows are usually not great players of spin.

[KingKhanWC]

Afridi hasn't bowled the quicker one yet.

[chui_kadoo]

I hope they dont bowl Hafeez today

[ScotRaz]

Razzaq.. what an athlete. :)))
There should be a warning message whenever they show Razzaq fielding, saying "kid's please don't copy this technique"

[Bullet Drive]

Kami got hurt HAHA.

[jattafridi]

we need wickets :59:

[AZ]

Kami :)))

:wahab

[Sledger]

Not Umar, Kamran.

[PakPosheeda]

is that sweat or are the canadian kits made of polythene? :p
Yeah looks like they borrowed their kit from the Canadian model Bianca Beauchamp (dont google her unless you're 18 :P )

[ads101]

You guys are all scared of Cheema like he's some Gayle or something. The guy is so inconsistent. Even more inconsistent than Razzaq & Afridi put together. His batting style reminds me of Chris Martin
he is inconsistent, but he's still one of the canadian batsmen that can win you a match. If he clicks he's dangerous. Some of these other canadian batsmen even if they click they're only going to go for 30-40 runs at best.

Their best batsman is the captain bagai though. And he's out now.

[munna_]

its high time afridi switches wahab with ajmal ... we need 2 attacking bowlers!

[Sledger]

Need another wicket, must keep chipping away.

[chui_kadoo]

You guys are all scared of Cheema like he's some Gayle or something. The guy is so inconsistent. Even more inconsistent than Razzaq & Afridi put together. His batting style reminds me of Chris Martin
I take it you didnt see Kevin O brien yesturday. He is of a similar mould. Anything is possible. We cant get complacent

[ace4rmspace]

You guys are all scared of Cheema like he's some Gayle or something. The guy is so inconsistent. Even more inconsistent than Razzaq & Afridi put together. His batting style reminds me of Chris Martin

Which is exactly the reason why there is an element of apprehension about him. If he was consistently rubbish then there was no cause for concern. The fact that he does have the ability to turn it around once in a blue moon, this just might be the day.

[kaalakawaa]

need a wicket here

[cricwiz]

Afridi must not bowl himself out....

[Faisalabadimunda]

cmonnn

[Sherazkhalid]

Amazing that we couldn't get past 200 against Canada, all the optimism has vansihed after the win against Sri Lanka.

[Bullet Drive]

Tried 2 whack that.

[chui_kadoo]

swing and a miss

[iRfaN_LA]

Time for teesra please.

[hur rizvi]

Riaz needs Baidyanath Vita-X. The guy seems to have as much energy as my Grandma. Absolutely lethargic!!


he's not lathargic at all

[Sherazkhalid]

Afridi must not bowl himself out....

I think hes just trying to bowl his quote for 20 runs, and that's about it.

[mastermind_quad]

Its boring ....:P

[chui_kadoo]

where is Ajmal?

[Bullet Drive]

FOUR DRS = Daryl Review System. He's having a shocker

[munna_]

Yeah looks like they borrowed their kit from the Canadian model Bianca Beauchamp (dont google her unless you're 18 :P )

im married .. so that puts more doubt in my mind about searching her on google :P

[chui_kadoo]

:four

[Sledger]

Edged and four, very important runs.

[pakcricketfan]

good murghi fielding by :shafiq

LOL! What a way to describe his effort! :))

[ace4rmspace]

Yeah looks like they borrowed their kit from the Canadian model Bianca Beauchamp (dont google her unless you're 18 :P )

I should have read your warning before googling. Jaldi kaam shaitaan ka :Fact

[KingKhanWC]

Edged for 4. Unlucky Wahab.

[strongman123]

OK should be the last over from Wahab, after than bring on Ajmal, and watch Canada crumble.

[Sherazkhalid]

BTW what did Daryl do today, I just got up and there are lot of comments about him on cricinfo.

[Sledger]

ffs, WICKETS NOW.

[TigerJat]

Pakistan need to dry up the runs, once the RRR goes over 6 per over, then it will increase quickly

[PakPosheeda]

Wahab's leaking runs of relief. But Afridi wants him to bowl out his 10 overs right now so Ajmal can come and reverse swing later.

[chui_kadoo]

Riaz needs to be replaced

[iRfaN_LA]

4444444...Time for ajmal.

[TigerJat]

44444444444444444

[munna_]

finally wahab manages to get an edge .. but too much thick for his liking

[Faisalabadimunda]

444

[Bullet Drive]

What a bouncer.

[GOAT]

These bowling changes are beyond stupid. BRING ON THE AJMAL

[chui_kadoo]

only 120 odd required to win off 27 overs.

[Sledger]

Wahab being played easily.

[Bullet Drive]

Bring Ajmal on man. Even Wasim is saying it.

[TigerJat]

enough for riaz for now,

[hamzamunir]

i will LMAO if Ajmal comes and starts leaking runs...half of the PP here is like "OMG BRING AJMAL BRING AJMAL NOW!" but wait till he starts getting hammered.

[Sherazkhalid]

Who did Daryl screwed today?

[ScotRaz]

im married .. so that puts more doubt in my mind about searching her on google :P
So am I, but that did not stop me :)) I had to confirm PakPosheeda's findings. And I can confirm he was correct :))

[Sherlock]

Please, please take off Riaz.

[Bullet Drive]

four more

[chui_kadoo]

Riaz getting smacked

[qamar84]

another four

[AZ]

:four

FACEPALM.

[osee_bhai]

Wahab pretty unlucky.

[KingKhanWC]

4 more, very good over for Canada. Wahab not using his head there.

[kaalakawaa]

wahab has been expensive. this is getting away now

[chui_kadoo]

awful awful brainless bowling by Riaz.

[TigerJat]

Another 4444444444444444444

[ace4rmspace]

What the Dickens is he going to achieve by bowling short?

[GOAT]

COME ON! Enough of Riaz already, he doesn't even look like he wants to bowl out there

[Faisalabadimunda]

wahatbbbbbatrghh

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal on. AJI AJI AJI

[iRfaN_LA]

9 runs, most expensive over of the innings.

[munna_]

so akhtar has been given a rest eh?

good decision to make us restless here!

[strongman123]

Afridi was defending 120 against Kenya even though they scored 300 odd, so they should be used to this :)

[Sherlock]

Ajmal on

[chui_kadoo]

Shoaib Akhter to replace Riaz next game thats a sure thing

[hur rizvi]

wahab riaz u r pathetic

[Rizie]

Cheema still to come

[pak4life]

now why we know why wahab has not been picked in previous matches

[KingKhanWC]

i will LMAO if Ajmal comes and starts leaking runs...half of the PP here is like "OMG BRING AJMAL BRING AJMAL NOW!" but wait till he starts getting hammered.

If Canada hammer Ajmal they deserve to win it, it will be very tough for them.

We;re about to find out.

[qamar84]

comon ajmal give us a pakora

[ace4rmspace]

Magic Balls (Source: Slegder) is into the attack.

[Sherazkhalid]

lol 10 runs from Wahab over, man I every WC we are getting beaten by a minnow 99, 07 and now 11.

[iRfaN_LA]

ominous signs.

[strongman123]

UGH, all the pressure built by Afrid is released!!!

[asadee]

how many overS?

[PakWC'11Champs]

Got to get Ajmal in. And get Gul back. Riaz has really flopped. Maybe we can get something out of him later in the game when he can bowl yorkers.

[TigerJat]

Ajmal into the attack, reallly need a couple of quick wickets now

[in_cutter]

With Rizwan Cheema waiting to bat...they better get wickets QUICK.

[tauseefm]

Wahab is ruining and releasing the pressure. WE are in a hole now :pissed:

[Sledger]

Ajmal on.

[PakPosheeda]

The wait is over. Pakore-wala is here.

[pak4life]

mystery ball time!

[Britstani]

Ajmal in.....behold the new delivery extravaganza

[Faisalabadimunda]

ajmal on.t

[chui_kadoo]

so akhtar has been given a rest eh?

good decision to make us restless here!
exactly what were they thinking. We need him here big time. Instead we have riaz whos bowling pathetic short and wide

[hamzie]

only need 7 'new special delivery' from ajmal
only need 7 'new special delivery' from ajmal
only need 7 'new special delivery' from ajmal

[munna_]

So am I, but that did not stop me :)) I had to confirm PakPosheeda's findings. And I can confirm he was correct :))

lol ... :)))

ok fine i'll google her now! but just for verification purposes .. so that i can give my mind some relaxation :P

[GOAT]

Is Younis setting the fields? We have a Miandad - Imran moment folks :jm

[Bullet Drive]

Well bowled.

[RehanG]

lolz.. shame shame

[mithun_minhas]

Why do all Pakistani spinners pause for a second before they deliver the ball?

I saw this trend ever since Saqlain started it. Then it was Shoaib Malik, then Ajmal and Hafeez?

[Bullet Drive]

A lot of turn for Ajmal.

[Pakipride19]

Wahab just doesn't look dangerous, I remember him being lethal not to long ago, but now his bowling seems tame...Ajmal on

[chui_kadoo]

only 120 to get with the CHEEMA factor to come

[munna_]

Wahab is ruining and releasing the pressure. WE are in a hole now :pissed:

u mean .. is he the Hole? :P

[Bullet Drive]

direct hit..

[Sledger]

Not out, direct hit.

[hur rizvi]

come on ajmal

[KingKhanWC]

Outside the line. again

[strongman123]

They need to pick up a couple of wickets asap, or this can turn ugly.

[Sledger]

Silly appeal. Need a wicket.

[chui_kadoo]

dinky

[TigerJat]

that was picthed too far short

[Shayan]

exactly what were they thinking. We need him here big time. Instead we have riaz whos bowling pathetic short and wide


Easy to say in hindsight. If we had thrashed Canada and Akhtar got injured i'm sure many on here would be complaining.

[chui_kadoo]

anyone else getting nervy one here?

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan head towards shameful defeat here! :(

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Ajmal.

[Faisalabadimunda]

oh tmannn

[Sledger]

Edged/Steered for more runs.

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal's off break is turning a lot. No Doosra's?

[KingKhanWC]

Not a bad over. If they want to play some shots agains Ajmal they will lose their wickets.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

who wanted shoaib to rest?!?!?! :@

[Bullet Drive]

Where is his new delivery man?

[GOAT]

A slow death here.

[kaalakawaa]

Canada is too far ahead here

[RehanG]

game over ..

last option gull and wahab only yorkers

[hamzamunir]

This game is unpredictable fellas. We were 94-4 here. Look at the scorecard here. We might pull through if we just keep believing and praying. Inshallah we got it.

[Sherazkhalid]

Canada is on the move now.

[iRfaN_LA]

a wicket is a must now. Its looking too easy for CA now.

[TigerJat]

5 off the over, not enough runs here to defend easily.

Need to be really stingy with the runs

[PakPosheeda]

Why do all Pakistani spinners pause for a second before they deliver the ball?

I saw this trend ever since Saqlain started it. Then it was Shoaib Malik, then Ajmal and Hafeez?
They stop to think if its even worth saving our batsmen's ***** over and over again.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

we need to dry runs here...get 2-3 maidens...make them go for big shots..bring field in for ajmal.

[Bullet Drive]

Why is Hafeez on for?

[hur rizvi]

canada should win easily from here

[RehanG]

we will be probably meeting india now in q finals

[tauseefm]

Runs are flowing now. :(

[Faisalabadimunda]

3333333ttttttttttttttttttttttt

[chui_kadoo]

Easy to say in hindsight. If we had thrashed Canada and Akhtar got injured i'm sure many on here would be complaining.
I didnt want Akhter rested in the first place. He has had enough rest. The more you play the better the rythem. Why rest him in a world cup game.
This is not a friendly.

[ZAK]

Hafeez comes into the attack.

[munna_]

the RR is last 5 overs has been 4.2!!

overall RR has increased too ...

meanwhile professor saab aagaye! sit down everyone :D

[PakWC'11Champs]

Canada is playing well.

Nothing we can do but try to restrict and pick up wickets. 185 on a flat batting track is a nothing score.

Just got to hope that a few great balls and some pressure cause the batsmen to make mistakes.

[Bullet Drive]

Why do all our bowlers have a little pause in their action?

Saqlain, Malik, Hafeez & Ajmal?

FOUR!!

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez spanked for :four

[kaalakawaa]

oh boy

[JellyBro]

professor into the attack

[ZAK]

:four

[asadee]

gul's reverse s will be the key

[KingKhanWC]

Nicely cut away.

Pak heads are starting to drop a little.

[Faisalabadimunda]

444 fffs

[mithun_minhas]

:four

[Bullet Drive]

Come on professor.

[strongman123]

:four, ffs what are you doing, bring your strike bowlers on now!!

[chui_kadoo]

Why do u bring on Hafeez a part time bowler

[TigerJat]

444444444444444444444

too much width there for the spinner, can't do that

[Bullet Drive]

We were 98-4 at this stage. We need 2 quick wickets.

[GLORY OF '92]

We need wkts or we are in trouble

[chui_kadoo]

Canada are ahead now in my books

[Bullet Drive]

Good over apart from the 4.

[Sherazkhalid]

ok game seems lost for Pakistan, not going to waste anymore time on it.

[pak4life]

whats the need for hafeez to bowl afridi should have finished his quota we need wickets

[ZAK]

74/3.

[KingKhanWC]

Easily played out. No chances created for a few overs.

[chui_kadoo]

111 to win with 7 wickets in hand and 25 overs left

[ace4rmspace]

We need some wickets here, preferably all of them.

[pakcricketfan]

With Rizwan Cheema waiting to bat...they better get wickets QUICK.

What's with the Rizwan Cheema-phobia? :20:
Is he a Terminator or a Predator?

[ads101]

Canadians now on top here. they've developed a partnership now.

[CrickFan]

Bits and pieces players are not going to win you the World Cup ..

[TigerJat]

Why do u bring on Hafeez a part time bowler

Hafeez is a good bowler generally, he breaks parnterships, and is generally economical, only one bad ball in the over

[PakPosheeda]

Canada are ahead now in my books
Hard cover or paperback ?

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Canada are ahead now in my books

rip your book! :@:@:@:@

[chui_kadoo]

another comfortable single

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi needs someone else in the circle.

[Gotham Cronie]

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?

Why would the broadcasters want to avoid further embarrassment for Harper?

[Faisalabadimunda]

Ya allah plz save pakistan from an embarassing defeat.aamen.

[iRfaN_LA]

Desperate times. :( Only if we had batted the whole 50 overs n got to 250 or so.

[Gotham Cronie]

BTW what did Daryl do today, I just got up and there are lot of comments about him on cricinfo.

He's gotten 4 decisions reversed.

[PakPosheeda]

Why isn't he bowling doosras dammit?

[Bullet Drive]

Come on Pakistan

[chui_kadoo]

Hard cover or paperback ?
Hard Back

[Bullet Drive]

What a delivery.

[imshally81]

match is slipping .. .slowly :(

[AZ]

give Ajmal a slip FFS!

[GOAT]

So this is why Ajmal hasn't been playing :))

[KingKhanWC]

FFS, Afridi being too defensive, men on the boundary and no slips. You can't defend this pathetic total.

[chui_kadoo]

What's with the Rizwan Cheema-phobia? :20:
Is he a Terminator or a Predator?
He is the real deal.

[PakPosheeda]

No slips for his doosra. Afridi is defensive as hell.

[Bullet Drive]

Slip back into play.

[pak4life]

afridi losing the plot

[strongman123]

Afridi needs to bring his men in, Canada can do this with singles otherwise.

[hur rizvi]

pathetic captaincy no slip

[munna_]

slip comes in ..... so that he can bowl an identical delivery on which there was an edge

[syd_pak]

stupid captaincy

[chui_kadoo]

Game is slipping boys.

[iRfaN_LA]

Ajmal has not played an international game for months. He will take time to settle in.

[Bullet Drive]

We will still win the match I think.

[Faisalabadimunda]

Easy runs. Mannn

[JellyBro]

haha misread that completely :ajmal

[hamzamunir]

^ LOL so the slip wasn't in it is automatically declared from PP users "PATHETIC CAPTAINCY" haha :))) you guys are such double standards...

[Bullet Drive]

1 run.

[chui_kadoo]

leg bye
