[pacman]

Commentators blaming the pitch :)))

[zorawar]

Blackwell's got huge mamey!!!



You pervert! :))) :))) :)))

HARMISON

It is the same wicket as in the first ODI,

It is The Rawalpindi Express and Ranadinho who have changed from the first game.

[nafajafam]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again

[aamir]

i agree however a captain must put faith in his bowler's ability to bounce back and at least allow him to continue for another as not to dent his confidence and lower his morale

I think you are giving Inzi far too much credit on this one..... ;-)

[zorawar]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again


Totally Agree...!

[immubhai]

It is the same wicket as in the first ODI,

It is The Rawalpindi Express and Ranadinho who have changed from the first game.


lets hope you are not wrong..cos i dont want this happening to Pakistan

[immubhai]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again


oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

[DotCom]

its the same wicket, but theres more pace in it .. it may have been watered differently ..rolled more .. etc...

just watching the mph can tell u that ..

175 is a fighting total ...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I think you are giving Inzi far too much credit on this one..... ;-)

or is it that u are not giving him enough credit? :13:

[nafajafam]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

getting his leg padded.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

something in his left leg he overstretched it earlier today and looked in a bit of pain. as we speak Danish has been brought on now

[zorawar]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?


I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

danish bowling far too wide here

[immubhai]

getting his leg padded.


thanks bhaijan :D

[immubhai]

I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.


thanks chotay bhai

[DotCom]

I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.
I think it happened in the 2nd over when he saved the four with one hand off of Ranas bowling ... I had the feeling

[immubhai]

getting his leg padded.


thanks baray bhai

[The_Cricket_Devil]

premeditated sweep for a single by plunkett

[aamir]

Another crap bowling change by Inzi. What a f***ing shambles his captaincy is.

Yes bring back the guy who is limping and prone to injuries when everything is under control. Absolutely freaking brilliant.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

drinks called ona fter a 3 run over by dani

Eng 125-7

[nafajafam]

who would support shoaib bowling off a shorter runup in onedays?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

who would support shoaib bowling off a shorter runup in onedays?

well i will support it if he can do it without reduced effectiveness

[Amir_rulez]

Yes bring back the guy who is limping and prone to injuries when everything is under control. Absolutely freaking brilliant.
well Sami aint limping. Is he?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another dam four behind the wicket...

[Big Mac]

Danish is so useless it's funny

[The_Cricket_Devil]

disgusting fielding by danish

[nafajafam]

edge for 4 down third man. 130-7

[DotCom]

Danish is so useless it's funny
I thought he was playing for his fielding ...

:20:

[offstump]

crappy fielding by danish that was brutal

[aamir]

Well Rana took 2 wickets in an over, what a stupid decision to keep him in the attack eh

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Danish is so useless it's funny

BW should threaten him an axe from the team if he does not improve on it we cannot afford any slackers on the field

[nafajafam]

Dont think Danish will be playing next game with Afridi coming in

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!

Rana is a proven odi bowler thus he deserves the chance to redeem himself and im sure that is why inzi kept him on. HE SHOWED FAITH IN HIS BOWLING RESERVES! why is it so hard to believe that?

[pacman]

Danish strikes. Collingwood gone.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and as we talk of danish's uselessness he takes a caught and bowled catch as collyflower finally goes

[pacman]

Solanki in.

[Raz]

Kaneria strikes. Collingwood caught and bowled!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

imo this is is too late for solanki too come in now however this should be interesting

[Sheikh]

Danish!!

Great captaincy again by Inzi!!!

[hasanahmad]

James Anderson will not bowl. England are 1 bowler short now


Collingwood
Plunkett
Flintoff
Harmison
Blackwell

Thats all England will have

[The_Cricket_Devil]

off the mark right away with a nervous shot

[aamir]

or is it that u are not giving him enough credit? :13:

It is all conjecture I am afraid no one knows for sure what the big man thinks...or even when and if he does ;-)

[immubhai]

did n't i say they are going to make Jimmy boy sit for Solanki, boy, they again had luck with Super Sub

[The_Cricket_Devil]

It is all conjecture I am afraid no one knows for sure what the big man thinks...or even when and if he does ;-)

exactly. Therefore we should all just sit back and let the match unfold and stop the captaincy criticizing comments

[aamir]

Rana is a proven odi bowler thus he deserves the chance to redeem himself and im sure that is why inzi kept him on. HE SHOWED FAITH IN HIS BOWLING RESERVES! why is it so hard to believe that?

Yes just like he did in the first game...worked extremely well in that game, no as well.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 more runs down to fine leg

[Big Mac]

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!


He's done it before. Don't you remember the pumping he got from India before bouncing back to take some important wickets?

[nafajafam]

shouldnt solanki have come in for plunkett?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Yes just like he did in the first game...worked extremely well in that game, no as well.

agn this relates to a previous argument. It isnt the captains fault if the bowlers have a rough day no particular bowler did well that day and inzi worked with it the best he could

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good fielding there by moh'd sami

[The_Cricket_Devil]

thats a good shot by solanki for 4 to end the over 139-8

[aamir]

exactly. Therefore we should all just sit back and let the match unfold and stop the captaincy criticizing comments

Not so fast, he well within his rights think what he does and not at all, but he remains answerable for his *decisions* as a captain. There no such thing as Authority without checks and balances.

[Oxy]

I guess the Inzi haters must be devestated that HE led us to THAT 2-0 victory over England!!!

[Big Mac]

shouldnt solanki have come in for plunkett?

Plunkett's a better batsman than both Jimmeh Anderson and Harmison and they need to make sure the tailenders can hang around with Solanki right now. Anderson's the weakest batsman in the XI and he's hit and miss as a bowler.

[Oxy]

Solanki is very dangerous in these situations-can easily work his way to 50-60 runs without you realising

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shoaib malik into the attack now

[Amir_rulez]

If England crosses 220 from this situation, it wud be a big captaincy flaw.

[Big Mac]

Not so fast, he well within his rights think what he does and not at all, but he remains answerable for his *decisions* as a captain. There no such thing as Authority without checks and balances.

Haha, you can harp on about "checks and balances" and "cold hard statistics and facts" all you like but feel free to continue to ignore the importance that gut instinct plays in captaincy as well.

And with a gut the size of Inzi's who are we to argue with it's instinct?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Haha, you can harp on about "checks and balances" and "cold hard statistics and facts" all you like but feel free to continue the importance that gut instinct plays in captaincy as well.

And with a gut the size of Inzi's who are we to argue with it's instinct?

:)))

[Oxy]

If England crosses 220 from this situation, it wud be a big captaincy flaw.

How?

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well played for 4 by plunkett

[The_Cricket_Devil]

neways guys its getting really late here now so im gonna go to bed inshallah pakistan will win this match allahafiz all

[aamir]

agn this relates to a previous argument. It isnt the captains fault if the bowlers have a rough day no particular bowler did well that day and inzi worked with it the best he could

Yes it is the captains fault if he bowls someone who IS ALREADY having a bad day and not someone who IS HAVING a good day (in comparison) and has overs left.

[Oxy]

neways guys its getting really late here now so im gonna go to bed inshallah pakistan will win this match allahafiz all

Now thats too bad!

[Jonty]

wow.. fantastic stuff!

[Oxy]

Yes it is the captains fault if he bowls someone who IS ALREADY having a bad day and not someone who IS HAVING a good day (in comparison) and has overs left.

If you are referring to Rana, he had 5 consecutive bad balls. Went from 4 overs for 15, to 5 overs for 32. Then recovered DAMN well!

[Amir_rulez]

How?
Situation demands u to go for a kill and finish off their innings as soon as possible. What do we do? We have spinners on both ends. Dont u think a pacer is more likely to rattle the tailenders?

[badxhah]

y is inzy lettin game drift bring on shooby rana or razzler

[aamir]

Haha, you can harp on about "checks and balances" and "cold hard statistics and facts" all you like but feel free to continue to ignore the importance that gut instinct plays in captaincy as well.

And with a gut the size of Inzi's who are we to argue with it's instinct?

The only thing I agree about there is the size of Inzi gut.... And yes facts are overrated anyways!

[karachiite]

Are there any demons in the pitch ot have england been undone by purely good bowling by pak?

[hatch101]

I think Inzi should bring Akhtar back into the attack, even though he is giving away easy runs, he's also taken wickets and the sooner Englands innings end the better!

[hasanahmad]

inzi more concerned about over rate than wickets

[badxhah]

partnership of 31

[akpower]

Shoaib shd be back from one end and maybe sami from the other.

Also shd replace Kaneria by supersub Arshad, just to try another option. Wouldn't hurt.

[Big Mac]

These 2 have a nice little partnership now but what can Inzi do? The "cold hard statistics and facts" dictate that we can't bring Rana on because he got smashed earlier and Shoaib is injured so Inzi mustn't let him bowl again. Razzaq is still coming back from injury so the "checks and balances" mean he shouldn't be given the ball as well and Sami is just crap.

What can Inzi do here?!?!?

[hasan316]

Bring on Shoaib and let him take 5 wickets. beautiful bowling by Shabby

[karachiite]

These two seem to be getting runs with alarming ease.Maybe we should try sami

[Jonty]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

[badxhah]

oh crap inzy shud look at the bigger picture rather goin for overate hai so far his captaincy has been spot on except for this spiiner part

[akpower]

Are there any demons in the pitch ot have england been undone by purely good bowling by pak?

Nothing really. It was just a case of Pak bowler's mixing it up n bowling some brilliant deliveries.

[Shayan_Sohail]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

His game is over, England are a bowler short now.

[azcali78]

Bad Captaincy by Inzy again. Bring on your quicks and get these guys out. Bad bad bad

[ontheBackfoot]

Bring the all powerful SuperSub "Arshad khan" now. A bowler English players are not familiar with. He didnt bowl in the Test. Now is the time to use supersub. Maybe the element of surprise will get the JOB done.

[MIG]

is Solanki stumped ?

[Jonty]

not sure abou tthat backfoot... now that we have england reeling, i dont think we require the sub, who would probably come at the expense of a batsman.

[akpower]

hey guys, is anderson still able to come back on to bowl later on? or his game over?

no he's not coming back.

[Jonty]

arshad khan hacking into cricinfo servers because he aint getting a game

[Oxy]

is Solanki stumped ?

No- foot was grounded.

[aamir]

If you are referring to Rana, he had 5 consecutive bad balls. Went from 4 overs for 15, to 5 overs for 32. Then recovered DAMN well!

Well I like Rana as a bowler but I just don't like Inzi's captaincy most of the time. Sorry....

[Big Mac]

Oh ****, hope he's alright. If there's any silver lining it's only his left shoulder at least

[akpower]

arshad khan hacking into cricinfo servers because he aint getting a game
haha

[Oxy]

Well I like Rana as a bowler but I just don't like Inzi's captaincy most of the time. Sorry....

At least you're honest about your anti-Inzi sentiments...I take it you didnt rate his 2-0 success quite recently?

[Amir_rulez]

I see some serious gymnasium sessions coming for Danish ;)

[Azam6380]

Danish injured.....hope hes ok....

[offstump]

danish looks like he was shot

[pacman]

Arshad Khan subbing Danish.

[MIG]

Can Arshad Khan be brought in now ?

Kaneria may have dislocated his shoulder there, physio summoned.

[azcali78]

Why cant he be more like captain who thinks. Cmon he is been a skipper for more then 2 years. This is common sense, I am so upset. Why is he more concern with overs then getting them out and Danish is gone for series... I am kind a glad about that he is not a one day player anyway

[CrickFan]

Inzy bhai has gone to sleep..will this partnership be crucial ?

[badxhah]

i hate to say this may this injury will be a blessing is disguise for pak

[Raz]

Paratha belly coming on now to field in place of Kaneria.

[Amir_rulez]

At least you're honest about your anti-Inzi sentiments...I take it you didnt rate his 2-0 success quite recently?


what has that 2-0 victory got to do with the wrong decision being made here?

[MIG]

Danish does seem to fall awkwardly - even on the last day of the 3rd test he fell over after taking a wicket.....boy has serious balance/gravity issues!

[Jonty]

well arshad khan can bowl 4 overs max

[ontheBackfoot]

not sure abou tthat backfoot... now that we have england reeling, i dont think we require the sub, who would probably come at the expense of a batsman.



I agree.... Its would have been better if they had an allrounder superSub.

[offstump]

and the brilliant decision pays off, supersub is in

[badxhah]

if inzy gives the next over to arshad khan ... i *** ??/

[hatch101]

Bring the all powerful SuperSub "Arshad khan" now. A bowler English players are not familiar with. He didnt bowl in the Test. Now is the time to use supersub. Maybe the element of surprise will get the JOB done.

I think wasting a batsmen by bringing a sub is not worth it..the "JOB" can be done by bringing the fast bowlers back into attack!

[cricketcrazy]

wht the hell Inzi n Bob r thinking ??? damn it bring shoaib

[aamir]

These 2 have a nice little partnership now but what can Inzi do? The "cold hard statistics and facts" dictate that we can't bring Rana on because he got smashed earlier and Shoaib is injured so Inzi mustn't let him bowl again. Razzaq is still coming back from injury so the "checks and balances" mean he shouldn't be given the ball as well and Sami is just crap.

What can Inzi do here?!?!?

You are making you own inferences and try to associate them to my statements. How old are you?

[offstump]

this is gross, we should have finished england off a long time ago, this way they're goona easily get 200+

[badxhah]

really poor cricket

[Raz]

Paratha belly coming on to bowl

[Shayan_Sohail]

Why is Inzi continuing with spinners we have 4 seamers who have done well and there are only 10 overs left, this is poor captaincy.

[badxhah]

holy Fcuk this could some one tell me wat the hell is inzy thinking ?

[immubhai]

Danish does seem to fall awkwardly - even on the last day of the 3rd test he fell over after taking a wicket.....boy has serious balance/gravity issues!


Is ge going to go for good?what about the coming India series? does it look that bad? His injury wont affect us in this series anymore, in next match Afridi coming in for him and now Super Sub would do the rest, by giving up 4/over...so lets hope Dani mian gets back for the next series ;-)

[cricketcrazy]

here u go Arshad th ebest bowler in our team is in

[hasanahmad]

if Pakistan lose this match by 20-40 runs Inzamam will be the sole reason they lost

[stb]

pak have got to get these 2 wickets quickly or they will have trouble chasing a 220+ figure

[akpower]

uncle coming in to bowl

[Big Mac]

You are making you own inferences and try to associate them to my statements. How old are you?


What's the matter grandad? Lost yer sense of humour?

[Shayan_Sohail]

We have just given England free runs in these past 5 overs.

[offstump]

plunkett is goona get a 50 this is embarassing

[aamir]

Funny comment from Rameez.

"Inzi is such good captaincy form that he is going to topple England with Shoaib Malik and Arshad Khan."

;-)

[lakha84]

what is inzi doing why not bringing fast bowlers

[MIG]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

[CrickFan]

If england somehow win this - this session of play will really haunt Pakistan -

[Raz]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

You make it sound like some kind of crime investigation!!

[Amir_rulez]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

For that matter Woolmer and Inzi run the show all year round... why threads after threads, discussions after discussions on the forum, eh?

[octavian]

may be he knows more than us MIGYY but what abot former test players sitting in commentary box ?

[hasanahmad]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?


running the show has led to a 6 from a number 9 bowler

[badxhah]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?


you are abs right Miggy bahi but the thing they were 8 down even the majority of commemtaors are sayin this.

[Raz]

Plunkett smashes a 6 off Malik!

[azcali78]

MIG I admire Inzy as a player but sometime you really have to ask what he is thinking. Seems like Inzy comes on the filed from instructions form Bob and then forget that he is the captain.

[Ayubi]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

Miggy bhai, how can anyone justify this??!!!

[yk]

COME ON INZI, bring on Rana or Sami, to clean up the tail!!!!!

[Shayan_Sohail]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?

hmm four seamers are available who have all done well, ten overs left, spinners have leaked runs, yet he still continued with the spinners. Dont see any logical reasoning there unless Rana, Shoaib, Razzaq and Sami are all injured.

[aamir]

What's the matter grandad? Lost yer sense of humour?

If you had a smile on your face while typing that...I apologize! But you do know that I cannot see you :-)

[offstump]

even the commentators are baffled by inzi's spin from both ends, not just us

[hasanahmad]

Englands best number 9 partnership in ODIs vs any country. Thank you Inzamam ul Haq

[lakha84]

is inzimam out of his mind

[immubhai]

what is inzi doing why not bringing fast bowlers


Inzi ko aawaaz lagaa bhaai, bring in Sami or Rana, they all have overs left. Why consisting with Malik?

[octavian]

damn man.. this is as dumb as it gets !!!!!!!!

[Lightning]

After watching with delight for first 30 overs. I have to ask what is Inzi on? This is the stupidest thing i've ever seen, honestly. Unbelievable!!

[the SHA]

I have no problem with inexplicable tactics as long as you win the game. If Pak somehow manage to fail their run chase, then yes questions must be asked about this present bowling strategy.

[akpower]

Yaar - Inzi is running the show - you guys arent ! and there is a reason for that - cos he knows better ! Could it be that he knows more than you chaps - could it be possible ?


not really..!
:16:

[hasanahmad]

*** arshad still continuing? inzamam has gone nuts

[offstump]

*** 8 overs left, and still arshad khan holy crap

[Rabbani]

Could we have all this negative sentiments after the Match Ends, we have lots of time for sooking over Inzi Captaincy,

[MIG]

There is nothing in the pitch - it remains the same pitch that we played on the other day - same players - we will win this easily. England bowlers are under pressure here with Anderson gone.

[CrickFan]

running the show has led to a 6 from a number 9 bowler
That is Inzy's brilliance and inspirational captaincy for you guys - andho mein kaana raja ..He is the capatin bcoz he is the best bat and the eldest buzurg in the team

[Oxy]

plunkett is goona get a 50 this is embarassing

ARe you watching the game? Plunkett has played outstanding. Clean,crisp hitting.

[Shayan_Sohail]

Oh my god he still continues with spinner, looks like Inzi really wants to make a match out of this.

[hasanahmad]

ARe you watching the game? Plunkett has played outstanding. Clean,crisp hitting.

against spinners, he had no clue vs razzaq and akhtar

[Oxy]

I have no problem with inexplicable tactics as long as you win the game. If Pak somehow manage to fail their run chase, then yes questions must be asked about this present bowling strategy.


Jeez!! A voice of reason...can I ban him guys???

[CrickFan]

Even if Pakistan wins - people have every right to question Inzy - it can cost him matches in the future ...

[hasanahmad]

4 more to inzamam, well played

[Oxy]

Only OUR batsman can lose this game.

[badxhah]

ARe you watching the game? Plunkett has played outstanding. Clean,crisp hitting.
he may be batting good but u have to say that by bowling ur spinner u gave him hope

[offstump]

ARe you watching the game? Plunkett has played outstanding. Clean,crisp hitting.

yes i am watching the game and most of his runs have come against malik and co

[CrickFan]

but why blame Inzy alone - what is bob being paid for ? listenting to music on his laptop and making faces when match is in progress ?

[hasanahmad]

Only OUR batsman can lose this game.

and they have lost going after a low score, which makes this more puzzling

[hasanahmad]

finally a change

[badxhah]

jus think wont the england team be motivated after comming frm 138-8 to 240(approx)

[akpower]

but why blame Inzy alone - what is bob being paid for ? listenting to music on his laptop and making faces when match is in progress ?
yeah its his fault too

[Amir_rulez]

but why blame Inzy alone - what is bob being paid for ? listenting to music on his laptop and making faces when match is in progress ?

he is NOT in the ground... or is he?

[ontheBackfoot]

Inzimam is out of options......

2 overs from Abdul razzaq and RANA

3 over from Sami and Shoaib

that makes up 10 overs....

What can inzi do......????

[octavian]

as the say in NY unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-believable

[yk]

WHAT IS GOING ON, we're losing the plot here, anything above 220, will be hard to chase

[aamir]

hmm four seamers are available who have all done well, ten overs left, spinners have leaked runs, yet he still continued with the spinners. Dont see any logical reasoning there unless Rana, Shoaib, Razzaq and Sami are all injured.

No no it is Inzi special plan...he is going for the kill.....

[lakha84]

my mind is bout to blow up

[Shayan_Sohail]

ridiculous captaincy by Inzy, even if we win.

A thread coming up: 'Inzy let himself down today'

[immubhai]

current partnership 70 runs.....Oh bhai Inzi..........laga bhai Ranaaai ko or bring in Sami!!!!!!!Inzi AAAAAAAAAAallllllllllloooooooooooo

[Big Mac]

Inzimam is out of options......

2 overs from Abdul razzaq and RANA

3 over from Sami and Shoaib

that makes up 10 overs....

What can inzi do......????


You know that if we bowl them out then we don't need to bowl the whole 50 overs right?

[Lightning]

Inzimam is out of options......

2 overs from Abdul razzaq and RANA

3 over from Sami and Shoaib

that makes up 10 overs....

What can inzi do......???? Too many options have left Inzi's brain in a twist. England team must be laughing their heads off in disbelief!

[hasanahmad]

another run to inzi, good shot

[hatch101]

This has seriously got to be the worst case of captaincy, actually not the worst but the most stupid and dumbest!

I totally love Inzi's captaincy and himself but this is just outrageous!

[badxhah]

Inzimam is out of options......

2 overs from Abdul razzaq and RANA

3 over from Sami and Shoaib

that makes up 10 overs....

What can inzi do......????

he could have gamblled a little by bowling shobby or rana out in order to destroy eng

[Amir_rulez]

and im assuming Plunkett still looks all clean and outstanding and crispy?

[immubhai]

Inzimam is out of options......

2 overs from Abdul razzaq and RANA

3 over from Sami and Shoaib

that makes up 10 overs....

What can inzi do......????


now this is tricky for Inzi ;-) its too complicated for Aalooobhai, keeping all this overs count, who has how many overs left? he likes to keep things simple, means, he seems like continuing with same Arshad khan and Malik...

[ontheBackfoot]

You know that if we bowl them out then we don't need to bowl the whole 50 overs right?


Maybe we don't need the pacers...... USE only shoaib malik and arshad khan :6:

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

Jeez!! A voice of reason...can I ban him guys???

:))) :))) :))) :)))
funny , thanks 4 a laugh

[octavian]

Pakistan team managment needs to Ban Lassi n breakfast.. specially for our Kuptaan

[hasanahmad]

arhad still bowling, amazing, what a screwed up day, pakistan might as well give up the match

[octavian]

Pakistan team managment needs to Ban Lassi in breakfast.. specially for our Kuptaan

[CrickFan]

70 runs in 13 overs at a very brisk pace - I am apalled ..problem is even if inzy loses ..he will blame someone else for the loss - like malik and arshad didn't tell me that they won't be able to take wickets ..

[akpower]

10 overs ago, if they gave two more overs to shoaib it would have probably all been over before england reached 150

[madaboutlfc]

what an idiotic piece of captaincy. Inzamam lacks the aggression.. England should never had made 200

[cricketcrazy]

Arshad nai Inzi ko paisiay diyea hian ???

[immubhai]

I am sorry for calling Inzi the great Aaaalooo, sorry Inzi you are great but captaincy seems difficult right now for you

[Shayan_Sohail]

He continues with Arshad, great captaincy

[Amir_rulez]

England makes a match of it...sweet.

[lakha84]

[badxhah]

Inzy wat have u done ??? forget the partnership forget the spinner ..when botham is gona come on air he will make brain yougart ( dimagh ki dahi )

[hasanahmad]

inzi seems to have ate a lot of allooos today, with shorba

[CrickFan]

For the good of Pakistan cricket ..please play inzy only as a batsman - please do not make him the captain

[lakha84]

piece of **** captaincy

[Amir_rulez]

England makes a match of it...sweet.

let me rectify it .... WE make a match of it!

[ontheBackfoot]

He continues with Arshad, great captaincy


SHOOT me .... i want to die :(

[immubhai]

[Azam6380]

ridiculous.....absolutely f*****g stupid

[khan_ohmss]

I was going to ask which team is trying it's best to lose the game - quite obviously that oaf Inzi is ahead at the moment!

[offstump]

partnership 81 off 91 balls

[cricketcrazy]

SHOOT me .... i want to die :(
na kill me first plz

[hasanahmad]

Im thinking this might be the experimenting that Woolmer was talking about?

[Amir_rulez]

na kill me first plz
ill kill u both, get me the gun ;)

[immubhai]

now who should open today?

[CrickFan]

Well done Inzy bhai -- bahut aala .. I am putting my neck on the block - Pakistan is going to lose this match (and they deserve it ) - that is my prediction

[lakha84]

na kill me first plz

no me first

[badxhah]

Already the forum is filling up wid Inzy threads

[Genghis]

I have got a bad feeling about this game today. With England getting the psychological advantage now ... the openers will be under a lot of pressure.

[badxhah]

now who should open today?


arshad khan and danny

[Muddaser]

Im thinking this might be the experimenting that Woolmer was talking about?

Maybe.

Trying to justify Kaneria and Arshads inclusion in the team.

[ontheBackfoot]

212 and four more overs to GO......

Now inzi cant think of anything but LUNCH....so please ppl everyone has limits and ...this is beyond INZI 's limits

[immubhai]

please dont make Akmal do it again, poor chap has kept wicket again today for 50 overs, send Malik in or even make Arshad Khan do it...Inzi bha, bring Rana in, why Arshad Lasssi maker?

[hasanahmad]

unless butt comes out as the angry man

[cricketcrazy]

oh shoaib is back

[lakha84]

about timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[azcali78]

I wonder is pakistan trying to be a good host to england and dont give them a really bad loss????

[aamir]

The problem is that if Pakistan wins people will forget about Inzi's lapses and even if it does not cost us the match this time next time it will..

Some people actually thought Inzi *was going in for a kill* ...when Shoaib came back to bowl in the first 20 overs.... :)))

[yk]

Shoiab best not give 20 away in the over, and No no balls

[hasanahmad]

Maybe the guy who makes inzi's parathay and allu kee tarkari can only come between the lunch break and as there is no microwave in the dressing room, he wants his food all fresh and hot so he wants england wants to play 50 overs

[hatch101]

Finally Shoaib is back on

[the Great Khan]

hain...??..erm why the Inzi bashing?? ok so he's brought ona rshad khan..well danish and shoaib are injured so who do you suggest??...and from what i can see we should be able to chase anything upto 250-260 on this pitch..if we dont then we deserve to lose!!!...so why dont you bahchas calm down a bit!!

[Azam6380]

Plunkett 50.....ridiculous....

[hasanahmad]

hain...??..erm why the Inzi bashing?? ok so he's brought ona rshad khan..well danish and shoaib are injured so who do you suggest??...and from what i can see we should be able to chase anything upto 250-260 on this pitch..if we dont then we deserve to lose!!!...so why dont you bahchas calm down a bit!!

[aamir]

Plunkett gets 50....he should Inzi a thank you note for sure....

[Raz]

Plunkett brings up his 50

[azcali78]

I cant belive this a bowler getting 50

[badxhah]

plucket ki 50 waha per pathan bahi appraching madien test 100

Lekin tension nahi lena ka ... kia

[CrickFan]

Yeah brought Arshad khan till the 44th over, match could have been over much earlier but Inzi took the 'safe' option.

[lakha84]
