[mooz]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

anderson sstarts off with a wide

[Amjid Javed]

single for akmal good stop on edge of the ring.

[nafajafam]

Yeah I miss that 'Mopp running around...Mopp just took a wicket..." :)))

[The_Cricket_Devil]

is kaneria injured?

yes the beast ate his legs off so that he could join

[Big Mac]

Nice shot from Salman

[offstump]

we should be able to sub butt with arafat we'll have 7 bowling options muhahaha

[Amjid Javed]

4 cover driven by butt

top shot

[The_Cricket_Devil]

typical butt shot for 4 smashed thru covers :D

[nafajafam]

in the slot and driven for 4 by butt. 13-0

[Raz]

4 to Salman hit through the covers

[mooz]

any thoughts on why England didn't bat first?

[Amjid Javed]

some good pace and bounce in surface.

[Jonty]

hopefully super sub will not be required until second innings

[Amjid Javed]

pak 13/0

[zushy_786]

any thoughts on why England didn't bat first?

- Dew conditions
- Movement in the pitch during 1st hour
- Easier to bat under less humid conditions
- Wanted to change it up
- Confidence in batsmen to chase any score pakistan produces

[karachiite]

Whats the pitch like? Any movement off the pitch for the new ball?

[nafajafam]

13-0 2 overs

[Amjid Javed]

any thoughts on why England didn't bat first?

I guess they fancy their chances chasing.

[karachiite]

any thoughts on why England didn't bat first?


Batsman as a supersub

[Amjid Javed]

Whats the pitch like? Any movement off the pitch for the new ball?

Pitch is shiny and hard. good even pace and bounce.

flintoff is getting ball to swing alot.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kami misses out on a ball down legside as it hits his pads

[Amjid Javed]

single for akmal. super fielding in ring saves 2/3 runs.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nice drive for a single. Could have been 4 had it not been for a good piece of fielding by prior i believe

[nafajafam]

nice drive by akmal but well fielded, only 1 run

[karachiite]

Pitch is shiny and hard. good even pace and bounce.

flintoff is getting ball to swing alot.

Is he swinging it both ways???

[Amjid Javed]

Flintoff probing away @ Butt (no rudeness intended)

[nafajafam]

good bowling by flintoff so far.

[zushy_786]

Flintoff probing away @ Butt (no rudeness intended)

Sicko :16:

[Amjid Javed]

Is he swinging it both ways???

no. one way. into lefty & away from right hander.

[Raz]

14-0 after 3

[nafajafam]

14-0. 3 overs

[Amjid Javed]

pak 14/0 (3)

[The_Cricket_Devil]

over pitched down legside by anderson and kami once agn fails to capitalize

[Amjid Javed]

akmal gets 2 off his pads afta missing out ball before.

[nafajafam]

anderson is bowling very full. lucky wasnt hit for a 4 on that one

[The_Cricket_Devil]

not this time tho as he flicks it thru square leg for 2

[mooz]

- Dew conditions
- Movement in the pitch during 1st hour
- Easier to bat under less humid conditions
- Wanted to change it up
- Confidence in batsmen to chase any score pakistan produces

I don't think the dew is a big factor in karachi

[Amjid Javed]

good quick single for akmal.

[Rahim Pushtoon U.K]

The toss gona play a significant role in this match, coz the ball will swing more in the second inning. The sea breeze in the evening time will definitely help the seamers. The wicket might be a bating paradise but seamers will be very very effective in the latter part of the game as this is the history of the ground. On this ground in the test matches we have seen a lot of wickets fallen to the seamers after tea. Dont know about the dew factor though.
Your thoughts

[nafajafam]

again on the pads and akmal fails to put it away

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good quick single by kami

[zushy_786]

I don't think the dew is a big factor in karachi

I was quoting from Tresco :24: ....I think he meant dew conditions in the evening......

[mooz]

wished they had opened with afridi.
Akmal is missing a lot of easy four-balls.

[Jonty]

cricinfo believes akmal could have possibly got 5 runs off that shot..

2.3 Flintoff to Kamran Akmal, one run, fuller length delivery, outside
off, came well forward and drivent to cover, Prior dive full
length and saved four runs

[Amjid Javed]

- Movement in the pitch during 1st hour
- Easier to bat under less humid conditions
- Confidence in batsmen to chase any score pakistan produces

Them 3 reasons i agree with :19:

[The_Cricket_Devil]

multiple "boom boom afridi" signs showing their presence. OVerthrown taken for a single

18-0 after 4

[Amjid Javed]

pak 18/0 (3)

[Raz]

A lot of Afridites in the crowd.

[nafajafam]

18-0. overthrow and single taken.

[zushy_786]

wished they had opened with afridi.
Akmal is missing a lot of easy four-balls.

The reason was because both openers are in good nick and they didn't want to mess with success...

[karachiite]

Decent start by pak. They should look to rotate the strike a bit more foten though and hopefully Kamran can hit the gaps and put away any leg side freebies.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

botham crying over how "close" that previous direct hit was

[Amjid Javed]

Poor shot from butt their.

[zushy_786]

Have to say excellent crowd and atmosphere in Karachi :14:

[Raz]

Very wide, not called Salman swishes and misses.

[mooz]

The reason was because both openers are in good nick and they didn't want to mess with success...

so you are calling akmal an opener?

[zushy_786]

botham crying over how "close" that previous direct hit was

Ramiz should just put a sock in his mouth.....

[Amjid Javed]

good ball flintoff beats butt outside off stick.

[zushy_786]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

Maybe :D

[karachiite]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

Why would you want to move a person who scored a century in his last game? Opener or no opener, he has earnt the right to stay there.

[Amjid Javed]

Flintodd beats butt again! superb ball.

pak 18/0 (5)

[ontheBackfoot]

Please tell me a site where i get ball to ball commentary like "cricinfo.com" .... I am at work and our NETWORK admin blocked "cricinfo.com"

HELP ME PLEASE !!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

why not he has proven his potential as one with 2 hundreds at that position

ooo terrific ball by flintoff beating butt and cutting him in half while at it

[lakha84]

so you are calling akmal an opener?
definitely

[zushy_786]

Why would you want to move a person who scored a century in his last game? Opener or no opener, he has earnt the right to stay there.

Spot on !

[Amjid Javed]

wide from anderson

[nafajafam]

[Raz]

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan need to bat well for 35 overs and set a good platform and then let the animals out of their cages to do some hardcore cowlashing.

[Amjid Javed]

akmal keeps hitting field with his drives.

pak 20/0
