Pak V Eng: ODI No 1: Lahore: Score updates and discussion thread (Pak innings)

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need 328 runs to win in 50 overs. The highest ever total chased in an odi is 331 which was today by New zealand v Australia.

Highest total chased on ground is 335 by pakistan A v india in 2004.

Pakistan need to bat like they did in karachi 2004 v india.

Add all score updates to this thread.

[Amjid Javed]

Butt taking guard he will open with kamran akmal.

[Somali Pirate]

alright.time to be serious now.We need to have a good plateform in the first 15 overs.

[Amjid Javed]

[Saj]

good start, cut shot over point for 4 by SB

[Amjid Javed]

Dropped 2nd ball by strauss!

[Amjid Javed]

Butt gets an early life!

[Gooner]

Pakistan need a good start from the openers with a late burst from Inzi an co to win it.

InshAllah well win it!

[Rob H]

Hopefully we have a good chase here.

[smoothcriminal]

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

akmal gone! drags it on 15/1

[Awesome Anjum]

Out.

[smoothcriminal]

oh lay

[Gooner]

Out

[Nauman]

Arghh Akmal, pathetic shot.

[Hydro]

15 -1

akmal gone cut on his stumps

[Amjid Javed]

inzi should come out now!

[adi 101]

it was never going to work............

[sars_pal]

stupid shot by Akmal! anderson looked totally out of form as well we need a patnership now

[Hydro]

anderson is been made to look like world class

[Saj]

The ball was not short enough to pull. Dragged it on from outside off onto his leg stump.

[nafajafam]

malik will do fine.

[Amjid Javed]

HK khan in now.

[Amjid Javed]

slashes and just falls short of slip.

pak 15/1 (2)

[Amjid Javed]

wide

[desidude]

Akmal is gone and I think Pakistan will be out of this match soon. How come Malik is not playing at number 3????? he was a set bastman and did pretty well in the last few matches at this position.

[Amjid Javed]

Butt seems to have calmed down!

[Hydro]

whys myk coming out

[Hydro]

slaman is swipe at everything

[Amjid Javed]

slash and miss by butt! i can see an edge any minute!

[Nauman]

Malik should have been sent, maybe they have told Malik to take a nap to get rid of his jet lag.

[Amir]

Pakistan looking to hit anything, they will self destruct, you still need patience to chase 300!

[Amir]

Malik should have been sent, maybe they have told Malik to take a nap to get rid of his jet lag.
Yeah he has expierence with this, ala kolkata and ahmedabad where he scored 60 odd in both games.

[Amjid Javed]

No patience shown here at all!

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs for butt

[Hydro]

slaman in to double figure 10*

[desidude]

Butt looks totally out of sorts. He is only swinging his bat and has no idea where the ball is pitching.

[Somali Pirate]

i got a bad feeling about this chase.the boys are too impatient

[KaSaNoVa_G]

A match like this would ave been just right for afridi... only 2 fielders allowed
outside the circle.. afridi is just wat he would have wanted now...

anywayz going to be VERY hard now for us.. but you never know with pakistan...

[lakha84]

this is where i am missing afridi

[Saj]

Blackwell in the field chasing that last shot by SB, makes Inzi look like Carl Lewis

[Raz]

Malik and Razzaq being saved for the final flourish.

[Amjid Javed]

pak 19/1

[Amjid Javed]

Blackwell in the field chasing that last shot by SB, makes Inzi look like Carl Lewis

:)))

[Gooner]

Butt seems to have calmed down!
Its very easy to get carried away when scoring quickly and with that he'll lose his wicket, his playing fine!

[Nauman]

These two will have to carry us to 100 atleast.

[Amjid Javed]

dodgy shot from butt
single

[Raz]

Wide bowl not called!! Hair the culprit again!!

[Amjid Javed]

HKK off mark with 3

[Nauman]

[Somali Pirate]

[badxhah]

Admi Musafir hota hai hero

[Gooner]

Wide bowl not called!! Hair the culprit again!!

[Hydro]

[Amjid Javed]

Glorious cover drive by HK khan 4

pak 33/1 (5)

[badxhah]

logical explantion for arshad khan as sooper biscut sub
Maybe Bob Bahi put everyone's name in a basket and asked Inzy to draw one out and out came Arshad Khan's name as the super sub.

Inzy to Arshad-arshad u r the lucky one tum super sub hoo
Arshad- Superman ???
Inzy - Nahi Baay --Super sub
Arshad - Ye ki hai ?
Inzy - Allah hi bhatter janta hai

[Saj]

[akpower]

Younis is our test #3. If he can do it in the tests, no reason y he cant do it in odi's. Nothing wrong with him being at the 3-spot. Malik shd have opened today. Akmal could hv been used lower down if they game went close enough.
