[cricket_fan_1]

Discuss :)

[Amjid Javed]

185 is chasable! Shocking Batting performance from pakistan today!

[cricket_fan_1]

185 to win against the most fearsome bowling attack...in swinging and seaming conditions

[ElRaja]

id be disappointed if canada makes more than 120, 130. ajmal, afridi, gul, wahab should defend this.

[cricket_fan_1]

can the mods please pin this thread :)

[duostyle]

We will win :P

[Rizwan25]

Pathetic stuff from Pak.... I hope we can get some quick wickets and win this game.

[zainkhan]

nothing much to discuss , Batting exposed , Idea of keeping A.Razzaq as a batsman went absolutely wrong.I think Wahab Riaz has a big test today, hopefully pakistan bowling go similar.A lose will disgusting a win will be amazing.Upset saga continues

[cricket_fan_1]

We will win :P

sure as hell yes

[duostyle]

Perfect time to unleash the PAKORA!!

:ajmal

[The_Real_Deal]

come on canada!!!

[cricketpassion]

180 is too much for Canada :P

[The_Real_Deal]

this upset would be worse then ireland's victory over england.

[ace4rmspace]

I feel sick! I've just eaten a whole packet of Bombay Mix.

[Afridi_Fan]

Wow, talk about giving up so soon.

[The_Real_Deal]

:pkflag :afridi

:snack:

[Digital]

Pakistan to win by 40-60 runs !

[Anwar]

How long till they resume play?

[Khabri420]

Aamir Sohail: "Even if Pakistan bowls average, they will win today" :aamer

[raff]

have faith guys - come on.. This is where Pakistan Team will show their true spirit! hay jazba junoon tu himat na haar!!! their backs are against the wall and we all know they have done it before. Canada still have to make the runs and conditions are bowling friendly.

[Wasim_Waqar]

How is the pitch playing?!!

[Afridi_Fan]

Have seen so many wrist slitters over the years but today some very unlikely guys are throwing in the towel so soon.

[GLORY OF '92]

Calm down!

If we can only manage 185 then Canada should not get more than 150.

[The_Real_Deal]

Aamir Sohail: "Even if Pakistan bowls average, they will win today" :aamer

i bet you if pak bowl 'average', canada will win...:qadir

[duostyle]

At least we show some respect to the minnows :yk

Did you see what SA did to NDLS today? That's just wrong.

[Afridi_Fan]

How is the pitch playing?!!

Three words.

Swing, Bounce, Spin.

[cricketpassion]

Calm down!

If we can only manage 185 then Canada should not get more than 150.

Exactly .have faith people:gul

[Khabri420]

i bet you if pak bowl 'average', canada will win...:qadir

Ashish Bagai to the hit the winning runs? :)))

[JellyBro]

Can will be all out under 150
Its sad that we batted so badly but the total we've reached is still more than enough for Canada

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi to get a 15 wicket haul, i dont know how but anything is possible with boom boom

[Sledger]

Spinners will have to do the damage. I think Ajmal should be a very tough prospect.

[lumber121]

Well Pakistan somehow manages to put a performance like today every so often jus to remind us fans that they r only human.:danish

[talha3]

You know it's bad when an Indian is the first to make the innings thread in a Pakistan match,

[Muhammad Waleed]

Three words.

Swing, Bounce, Spin.

what if we still lose the match :O

[cricket_fan_1]

You know it's bad when an Indian is the first to make the innings thread in a Pakistan match,

This is probably the 4th time i made a thread...guess what...pakistan never lost when i made a thread :D

[raff]

if we lost the match does that mean we may not qualify ya is qualification guaranteed to the next round? even if we lose against Zimbabwe, we can qualify yeah???

[Bullet Drive]

If we lose this then we will lose the WORLD CUP.

[DOOSRA95]

pakistan will win today but they will always have some sort of suspicion on themselves and spot fixing: look at misbah one boundary in the whole innings with 69 ball in the middle.these are 3rd rate part time bowlers.
this peformance looks absolute suspect.

[Afridi_Fan]

what if we still lose the match :O

Have some faith yaar.

[Bullet Drive]

This is probably the 4th time i made a thread...guess what...pakistan never lost when i made a thread :D

Good good, Do it for the WC final when we beat u

[Abdullah22]

'I hereby declare that no matter what Pak will make it to the WC Semi final but they will not and cannot go to the final and that India however will make it to the Finals.'

Steady now...:adnan

[Khabri420]

This is probably the 4th time i made a thread...guess what...pakistan never lost when i made a thread :D

That's good, I hope you are telling the truth :moyo

[Abdullah22]

Yaar I hate that Sikh analyst on the Star Cricket.

[Afridi_Fan]

PP has come to life, thanks to Candian/Pakistani PPers.

I so love PP.

:)))

[Khabri420]

How much longer till match starts? 10 min?

[Muhammad Waleed]

When will the play continue?

[JellyBro]

our last four wickets fell within 3 runs! :facepalm:
7-181 (Shahid Afridi, 40.5 ov), 8-181 (Abdul Razzaq, 41.1 ov), 9-181 (Wahab Riaz, 41.4 ov), 10-184 (Saeed Ajmal, 42.6 ov)

[Shayan_Sohail]

People need to chill w still have our bowling which in these conditions should be a handful :gul

[duostyle]

Showing highlights...

Afridi pulling his hair out...

What a sight :afridi

[Bullet Drive]

Whens the 2ns innings

[msmkt]

I am glad this time its Canada not Irish Mafia...Good 2 see Irish beating English...Now its our time.

[kaalakawaa]

bohot besti hogi if we loose this

i don't think i will go to school the whole week to avoid the shame

[lumber121]

ove Afridi's reaction wen Wahab got out...hahaa Lala should have batted better urself..

[Muhammad Waleed]

bohot besti hogi if we loose this

i don't think i will go to school the whole week to avoid the shame

Are you in an indian school?

[IMMY69]

I think we'll win this game for sure... The positive to come out of this dismal batting display is that we still have some way to go before we peak and it's all about peaking at the right time!!!

[AfridiRagingBull]

If we lose this then we will lose the WORLD CUP.

What the hell? HAVE SOME FAITH PEOPLE; PLEASE.

[Bullet Drive]

We will win inshallah.

[Wasim_Waqar]

Not about being a handful here. It is about going out there and rolling them and especially Cheema, very cheaply. No room for wides, no-balls etc

[sada90]

go CANADA..
NO....................................

[Strike!]

Bowl them out under 100. :gul

[Hando]

I hope Razzaq's not opening the bowling :(

[WithLoveFromCanada]

My work mates here will kill me..

c'mon Pakistan ..dont make me eat my toe!

[kaalakawaa]

Are you in an indian school?

multicultural school. Many indians

I ripped into my indian friends when England drew against them. I just know they must be licking at the prospect of confronting me if we loose.

I will take an extended sick leave. the shame is unbearable !!

[Muhammad Waleed]

Be "bold" when you "lose" and be "calm" when you win

[jasimisbest2]

Come on guys...

I totally disgaree with guys syaing PATHETIC PAKISTAN etc etc
The wicket is turning, swining, seamer wicket... the conditions have not been faced by Pakistan before..

and also Pakistan getting out for 185 is a lesson for us and now the Bowlers will work hard to restrict Canada so they can win the game.....

Please think positive out of this game...

I would have hated it if Pakistan came and made 350 and then canada made 150 and Pakistan win by 200....

Let PAKISTANIS go in there and fight and fight hard.......

I hope you understand my point of view.

Wasalam

[liaqat]

afridi and razzaq's batting totally let pak down,, 181-6 inthe 40th over and gettin out the way they did..
disgusting,,
canada know they av to make 184 so they will play accordingly,

[iZeeshan]

How long till start? is it in 20 or 35 minutes?

[Hando]

Why are talking about IRE and ENG match on SS1?

[saajidrox]

Oh Pakistan Pakistan
Now I can't go out and talk praising about afridi and the team . They Had Ireland to bug me with now Canada :(

[Bullet Drive]

I took a day off school aswell.

[liaqat]

canada are worse than most assosciate teams so playing against them as they were great bowlers and some of the shot selection was ridiculous..
afridi and ahmed shehzad (legend) shots were terrible..

[CricketBuff]

The first half belonged to Canada. The Pakistani team took the opposition too lightly. Never under-estimate your opponent as Ireland showed yesterday. Perhaps this is the right time that Afridi and his mates are tought a lesson :)

[Muhammad Waleed]

multicultural school. Many indians

I ripped into my indian friends when England drew against them. I just know they must be licking at the prospect of confronting me if we loose.

I will take an extended sick leave. the shame is unbearable !!

Well, Do you think that taking an extended sick leave will help.? They are gonna tease you even if you go after 7-8 days. It would be better for you to go to your school. Have some faith as many PPers said that " bounce, spin, swing" is in the ball

Don't stress out, see the match, Hope Pak wins.

I hope Pak's bowlers can pull a victory from no where.

:D

[Sledger]

Need Michael Waugh to win the game.

[SAPakFan]

pakistan will win today but they will always have some sort of suspicion on themselves and spot fixing: look at misbah one boundary in the whole innings with 69 ball in the middle.these are 3rd rate part time bowlers.
this peformance looks absolute suspect.

They shouldn't. Misbah's wicket was very important & he had to play extremely carefully + he almost lost his wicket when he just came in,don't blame him. Batting looks easy for us spectators as we are not out there. Take into consideration the pitch,btw Misbah was starting to lift his r/r but was unfairly given out. Always happens to us

[pakistani]

Apparently Tony Greig thinks SL and KENYA is playing

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

This is probably the 4th time i made a thread...guess what...pakistan never lost when i made a thread :D

if thats the case ... thanks for making this thread :p:yk

[talha3]

Here we go...

[ace4rmspace]

Need Michael Waugh to win the game.

I hear he's coaching the Canadians ...

[GLORY OF '92]

Come on Lads!

[talha3]

Cmon Razzaq.

[Sledger]

Razzaq to start.

[kaalakawaa]

oh boy. Why Razzaq?

[Vegitto1]

The guy said 'pakistan have been blown up...' And the corrected himself to say bowled out lol

[Hando]

Chalo razzaq opening :facepalm:

[Omar Malik]

Dot ball!

[Sledger]

[Omar Malik]

1 to Gunasekra!

[Muhammad Waleed]

Afridi seem PUMPED UP

[Sledger]

Wide.

[Omar Malik]

[chui_kadoo]

[KingKhanWC]

16 year old opening. lol

[ZAK]

:wide

[Hando]

hint of swing?

[jusarrived]

Go Canada :D

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Razzaq for heaven sake atleast bowl within the stumps

[Omar Malik]

16 and 19 year old opening for Canada!

[hur rizvi]

no swing what so ever for razzaq ...

our only swng bowler

[Omar Malik]

Nicely dabbed down for 1 by Kumar

[Sledger]

Just 183 needed.

[chui_kadoo]

single. Scoreboard ticking

[ace4rmspace]

Is anyone else feeling sick? I guess no ones had as much daal salooniyaan as I have then ...

[KingKhanWC]

Gul and Wahab should have opened, ain't going to restrict them.

[Omar Malik]

1 to Guna!

[chui_kadoo]

rubbish ball by Razzaq. Not looking threatning at all

[AZ]

Razzaq looking toothless.

[Omar Malik]

181 needed

[Sherlock]

Ajmal should be opening with Riaz not Razzaq.

[ace4rmspace]

Already above the asking rate ...

[taqi]

3rd march already a dark day in Pakistan history Srilankan team attacked on same day two years ago. but keeping the hope alive we'll win this Inshallah.

[Khan88]

Razzaq couldn't take a wicket if it hit him in the face.

[kaalakawaa]

we cant give 4 an over like this.

Rubbish from Razzaq. What an alround failure

[Sledger]

So where is the massive swing you were all talking about? Ball is going straight and Canada are dealing in singles.

[Omar Malik]

Too high Razzaq! :))

[ZAK]

4/0 in 1.

[chui_kadoo]

4 off the first over. Canada on track

[Hando]

beauty!

[KingKhanWC]

4 off it. Good start for Canada.

[Sledger]

Gul given the new ball.

[talha3]

Gul's in

[Omar Malik]

Umar Gul to bowl

[pak4life]

canada will not make more then 100 inshallah it will be a easy win

[ZAK]

Gul to bowl from the other end.

[hur rizvi]

this pitch doesnt suit our pacers none of them can swing the ball

[chui_kadoo]

need wickets ASAP. Next time please do not rest Akhter for any games

[Muhammad Waleed]

That was not out.

[hamzamunir]

I hope this is a wake up call for us, and hopefully we pull out with a victory here.

[Hando]

Umar's only 26??
Woah thought he was 30 or something

[Noman]

If Pak loss this match..Have to say this world cup is fixed...
Mafia in india is doing the dealing....we fans are just idiots..

[Omar Malik]

Swing in the air

[ace4rmspace]

Gulla gonna get tonked as usual ... sorry I'm just a bit depressed ... where's my Diazepam?

[talha3]

Gul getting swing.

[Sledger]

Big seam movement!

[KingKhanWC]

Gul hits the seam. lol

[duostyle]

Should give Gul/Wahab the ball, if nothing is happening bring in the spin and pakora :ajmal

[kaalakawaa]

plz no Razzaq from the other end

[Hando]

Now do you see the swing?

[Omar Malik]

2 runs for Guna!

[Sledger]

Too short, wrong line. 2.

[Noman]

afridi go all out..

[chui_kadoo]

2 runs. Flicked away

[hur rizvi]

Bad line from Gul

[AZ]

Gul needs to keep it up, back of a length stuff won't do the trick.

[Sledger]

First good ball of the Canada innings.

[KingKhanWC]

Left, right combination doesn't help Gulla.

[AZ]

Ruvindu looking like Canadian Sanga :P

[ace4rmspace]

These guys are playing very very positively. Good on you kids.

[hur rizvi]

Canadians looking comfortable

[talha3]

Edged away and safe

[JellyBro]

cheerleader :afridi in action already

[Muhammad Waleed]

gull get 'm

[cricfan4ever]

So where is the massive swing you were all talking about? Ball is going straight and Canada are dealing in singles.

always disappears when we come out to bowl...

[AZ]

:wide

Shabash.

and overthrows.

Shabash.

[talha3]

Terrible so far from pakistan.

[Noman]

we need to get this left hander ot..... we are good at right handers..

[KingKhanWC]

Rubbish from Gul and poor fielding.

[ZAK]

:wide

[JellyBro]

Gul bending his back..

[Sledger]

Wide.

[Hando]

Pagaaaal!!!

[ads101]

bloody stupid.

[hur rizvi]

WoW akmal you are pathetic

[Sledger]

Wheels coming off.

[ace4rmspace]

Shambolic, Disgraceful and Pathetic ...

[Omar Malik]

10/0 after 2 overs

[ZAK]

10/0 in 2.

[boomboomafridi10]

brilliant bit of fielding there, no problem, its not like we're defending 184....

[Sledger]

10 already on the board. Great start.

[Hando]

Yorkers Bhai Yorkers!

[hur rizvi]

no swing for our pacers

[AZ]

Afridi with the customary misfield.

[hasanmehmoodkhan]

canada got this pak suck today

[Omar Malik]

Awesome start by Canadian standards!

[ace4rmspace]

And whats with the fielders hanging back? Get in their faces! You're not going to defend this total, your only hope is to get them out!

[JellyBro]

where's the bounce? :inti

[Omar Malik]

Shot by Guna!

2 runs!

[KingKhanWC]

Canada are targetting Razzaq, Afridi can't see this.

[hur rizvi]

Canadians are at ease

[AZ]

clipped thru midwicket, 2 for Ruvindu.

[ace4rmspace]

I'm liking this Guna guy, bit of style and substance.

[Sledger]

2 taken.

[kaalakawaa]

they look so confident canadians

[talha3]

Soo lucky!!

[oracleg]

We haven't got any swing bowlers to utilize the conditions. Razzaq, Gul and Wahab are all the hit the deck type.

I'd like to see Afridi on early with Ajmal.

[Omar Malik]

hahaha! :))

Falls safe!

[Sledger]

Big slog, lands safe.

[AZ]

Safe! lands in between 3 fielders!

[ace4rmspace]

Cr@p!

[Khan88]

Should have been a catch :facepalm:

[ZAK]

Lands safely...

[KingKhanWC]

Safe. Looks like it's destiny for the Canadians.

[Afridi_Fan]

Now, we also need luck and want these catches to carry to the fielders.

[Sledger]

Luck with Canada.

[boomboomafridi10]

Is tony blind? Hes called misbah not mishbah...

[JellyBro]

Gul would have reached that if Younis wasn't running after it aimlessly !!!

[GLORY OF '92]

Get riaz on!!!!!

[hur rizvi]

that chase looks easy for canadians .....


Get spin in from one end

[AZ]

Nitish looks completely at ease, wow.

[Hando]

Even if lose we need to bring this game really close, for the NRR

[sada90]

we should intrdouce saeed ajmal to attack..
we need death bowling...

[Noman]

what choice do we have? Shoaib akhtar isn't in the team!

Wahab....???

[talha3]

Dropped!!!

[Sledger]

Dropped.

[KingKhanWC]

Dropped. :)))

[Pakipride19]

OMG AKMAL!!! WHyyyyy

[Afridi_Fan]

And then there was a WK.

[Khan88]

Another freakin drop

[Sledger]

Kamran smiling.

:scg

[talha3]

My mistake, no edge.

[Noman]

Kamran what on earth u doing? dropped?

[Ashraful_Rox]

:akmal :facepalm:

[Warfare]

Even if we bowl excellently today, Kamran will make sure we lose.

When will we get rid of this buffoon?

[KingKhanWC]

At least the lacre is off the new ball and it should start to swing and seam if Gul and co can get it in the right areas.

[Muhammad Waleed]

I wana break kamran akmal's teeethsssss

[Sledger]

Canada doing this eaaaaasily.

[Hando]

WhyTF is he smiling?

[ace4rmspace]

Came off the thigh.

[Noman]

<Fielder are sleeping.......... I hate this team..

[ZAK]

:wide

[PakPosheeda]

Can we get the spinners on already! Our pacers need the ball smashed to death / chewed before they can swing.

[oracleg]

At least the fielding looks up for it

[hur rizvi]

Pathetic bowling .....

[Hando]

Areeeey Yaar!

[Ashraful_Rox]

Pakistan missing :akhtar

[Noman]

why is gul bowling short????? Good keep the line and leght.... for god sake..

[ace4rmspace]

Another wide. That was too close. Umpires biased. Conspiracy!!!!

[Sledger]

Good nut.

[KingKhanWC]

Beauty. Just keep it there.

[Khan88]

Let's go Gully :D

[talha3]

Batsman not good enough to edge it.

[Muhammad Waleed]

Whenever I drop a catch while playing cricket, I can't smile like kamran akmal.

[PerfectionPersonified]

i seriously think GUL need to be dropped................Pathatic so far

[hasanmehmoodkhan]

common for gods sake win this match

[ZAK]

Beauty!

[Noman]

bowl like this gull first good bowl after 3 overs.. is this internationl cricket???

[hasanmehmoodkhan]

Nitish looks completely at ease, wow.

hes only 16 :amir

[pak4life]

first decent ball stick to that line

[kaalakawaa]

still no wicket

[Muhammad Waleed]

Fielding boyzz.

[hur rizvi]

that 16 year guy looks talented

[Warfare]

Well fielded Ahmed.

[Sledger]

Mis-field, would have been a runout chance.

[NiCe]

That was a drop catch.. or of the thigh ?? i think so from thigh... but Kamran Akmal is as bad he is always ... we should ask umar to keep.. and kamran to bat just...

[Sledger]

That's plumb. :pissed:

[boomboomafridi10]

lbw that WAS OUT

[Warfare]

They have to review that.

[Schickelgruber]

That was Out man!

[ads101]
