Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Sharjah | 4th ODI | 20/11/11 | Pakistan Innings

[NJamal]

What the hell was Misbah doing there.

[Hassan0987]

Anyways, Sarfraz in now :afridi

[Asif321]

hahahhahahhahahahahhaha WTH !!!!!!!!!!!
MISBAH IS CRAZY OR WHT were was he going

[chui_kadoo]

Who´s fault was that :O ?
Misbah

[Lara400]

Afridi ball watching

[iZeeshan]

I felt like that was Afridi's fault? Easy single?

[Rizwan25]

Tuk tuk ran out of luck once again ....lol

[Justcrazy]

Can Pakistan tailenders bat ???

[Sledger]

Sarfraz in, good chance for him to show his batting ability by building an innings. Still a lot of overs to gol.

[Hamxa89]

At least have a look at your freaking partner when u run for a single you dumb*uck! :misbah

[Hassan0987]

Good shot from Sarfraz

[chui_kadoo]

clipped for two by Sarfraz

[freelance_cricketer]

LOL Got Misbah run out :)))

[Asif321]

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: Gift given to lankans :misbah

[Warfare]

Great fielding Fernando :))

[dhump]

what was Misbah thinking??????

do you think he even thinks something ????

[RehanG]

Misbah

lol it was HIS call so how could that be his FAULT

[NJamal]

97/6 after 28 overs.

[hur rizvi]

take power play...

[Amir]

Misbah

You haven't played cricket. That was Afridi's call. Anything behind is the non-strikers end considering he is running towards the danger end.

[Hassan0987]

Wasn´t a single there, dumb Misbah :facepalm:

[chui_kadoo]

I felt like that was Afridi's fault? Easy single?
No it wasnt. He would never have made it

[cricfan4ever]

Misbah oh Misbah :facepalm:

[Sledger]

Nice shot to get off the mark.

[SAF]

Wow Misbah

[Britstani]

lol this is jokes

[Asif321]

All depend on these 2.. Sarfraz needs to prove himself

[Justcrazy]

Sarfaraz has 22 overs to bat here and seal his place for the next Tour....... or else zulqarnain could be in.

[anakwalajinn]

they don't look where the fielder is when they run? :13:

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfaraz is the key here, afridi can go any secomd.

[Hamxa89]

Waqar not blaming Afridi? .. Afridi is a saint!

[chui_kadoo]

lol it was HIS call so how could that be his FAULT
LOL. That was straight to the fielder. He would never have made it

[Asif321]

MBA Finance thoda zaida pardh liya hai .. :facepalm:

[Sledger]

Afridi's fault - Misbah's call.

[Noman]

200 RUNS, we might get a tight match otherwise Sri Lanka all written on this match

[JibranAnsari]

Sarfaraz is the key here, afridi can go any second.

[Hassan0987]

100 for Pakistan :D finally!

[Little Master]

It was Afridi's fault

[Sledger]

and he was running to the danger end.

[pakcricketfan]

100 up for Pakistan! :yahoo

[iZaman]

Ramiz says there was noise. #Twitter
So waqar may have a point

[chui_kadoo]

That was definitly Misbah's fault

[Fireworks11]

Pathetic batting card.

[NJamal]

100 up

[Sledger]

100 up. :yahoo

[Justcrazy]

Its time that pakistan remove Misbah, malik and Razzak from the ODI team......... they are poor .

[Hassan0987]

Come on Sarfraz, play the important inning :)

[WNC]

Will not even survive 50 overs now. Just a matter of how much we can get before the last wicket falls.
100 up, yay?

[Hamxa89]

So, he can block an infinite number of balls but he wants to run for those kind of singles..

Khuda janay kia chalta hai iss banday k dimaagh mein

[hur rizvi]

No sacrifice from afridi :waqar

[Britstani]

100 up, dont worry we will get them out for 27 ........................ yeah

[mrk]

poor Misbah...... Bad luck..............

[anakwalajinn]

should be a bit competitive match :/

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need another 100 some how.

[dhump]

Waqar not blaming Afridi? .. Afridi is a saint!

so why was this afridis fault why the hell misbah was running for ??? was he the one scoring ??? and secondly are we in the last overs with lots of wickets in hands to take such risks.

[pak4life]

lol it was HIS call so how could that be his FAULT

Wrong call there was never a run there even if Afridi went straight away

[pakcricketfan]

Am I the only one who thinks Misbah wasn't at fault this time around? :13:

[hur rizvi]

Take Power play

[NJamal]

It was totally Misbah's fault, there was no run there and one of them was gonna run out for sure. There was no need to take such high risk at all.

[IAJ]

Afridi's fault - Misbah's call.

Yeah it was his call, but a stupid call for a risky single! And Afridi didn't hear his call as Misbah can't scream.

[Sledger]

101/6 now. 21 overs to bat.. :|

[deviously~fading~away]

Misbah running was dumb. It's not like Pakistan is chasing 40 runs from 28 balls that Misbah needs to take such sucidal & risky runs!

[dhump]

So, he can block an infinite number of balls but he wants to run for those kind of singles..

Khuda janay kia chalta hai iss banday k dimaagh mein

lol true this is the point.

[HumorMe]

misbah is pisseddddd

sparks will fly: captain vs the former captain :133:

[hur rizvi]

Afridi not picking googly

[Hassan0987]

Down the track for a single

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi quickly reaching his average score

[Noman]

The funny thing is that Afridi has looked the best batsman out there

[Hassan0987]

Wondering what MHK will say about this approach?

[hur rizvi]

looks like sarfaraz picks googly

[Hassan0987]

106-6 after 30 overs

[Justcrazy]

was it 300th six from Afridi????

[pakcricketfan]

they don't look where the fielder is when they run? :13:

That's what Afridi was doing :23: even though it was Misbah's call.

[Hamxa89]

so why was this afridis fault why the hell misbah was running for ??? was he the one scoring ??? and secondly are we in the last overs with lots of wickets in hands to take such risks.

What I said came out wrong .. What I meant was if Waqar is not blaming Afridi; there is no way Afridi can be blamed :P

Sorry for that.. Haha. I agree. Kuptaan Sahab went bonkers!

[Asif321]

safraz looks better then malik and akmal today

[Alamgeer]

afrid should have sacrificed for misbah

[Asif321]

Karachi dolphins on crease

[Noman]

200 runs is a good score on this track, outfield is very very slow.. if Pak score 200 runs and bowls good at the start we have a good chance..just need a afridi speciel here

[NJamal]

106/6 after 30 overs.

[Sledger]

Another googly, tucked to fine leg for two. Well played.

[Khabri420]

Really need to try and play out these 50 overs...

[chui_kadoo]

If Afridi bats till the 50th we win this game

[Justcrazy]

Can afridi be tried as opener in the Bangladesh Tour.

[Hamxa89]

Afridi quickly reaching his average score

Which only 1 batsman has topped in this match . What a beast :afridi

[Hassan0987]

Bringing back another leg spinner

[hur rizvi]

was it 300th six from Afridi????

291st


hope he hits 300th today

[chui_kadoo]

good single by Lala

[Hassan0987]

Single to Sarfraz

[RehanG]

160 will be enough with Pak spinners

[chui_kadoo]

Lala just needs to milk it

[Justcrazy]

Can Gul bat today?

[deviously~fading~away]

Afridi's job should be to stay 4.3 overs & than go crazy in powerplay.

[DOOSRA95]

Kuptan has found new way of getting himself out, playing dumb to get get run out, he run himself out of the team.

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Sarfraz can really show his worth here, i still think if these two put on 80odd insha'Allah we have a chance

[hur rizvi]

If Afridi bats till the 50th we win this game

I hope he lasts till batting PP or take it now

[future doctor]

nothing to say

[IAJ]

If we can get to 200 here somehow we will InshaAlla win it easily. It will be very hard to chase here

[Sledger]

Another single.

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Hope Afridi will bring up his nr 7 today

[chui_kadoo]

average score on this pitch is 233

[NJamal]

109/6 after 31 overs

[deviously~fading~away]

The funny thing is that Afridi has looked the best batsman out there
Technique wise Afridi has always been good. His aggressive & confidence plays well for him.

Temperament is a whole different topic...

[Justcrazy]

Afridi on 22 not out.

[Hamxa89]

Big chance for Afridi to guide the inexperienced Sarfraz - Cricinfo :)))

[Noman]

We do not need to take power.. we often loss alot of wicket at power play.

[pakcricketfan]

Take Power play

... and lose the remaining 6 wickets. :23:

We tend to lose wickets rather than score in the batting PP. :(

[Hassan0987]

Should Afridi take the pp now or wait?

[JibranAnsari]

Which only 1 batsman has topped in this match . What a beast :afridi

hope he reaches bradman's average score.

[Afridiologist]

... And lose the remaining 6 wickets. :23:

We tend to lose wickets rather than score in the batting pp. :(

4

[chui_kadoo]

single to Lala

[hur rizvi]

... and lose the remaining 6 wickets. :23:

We tend to lose wickets rather than score in the batting PP. :(

afridi will keep on hitting anyway...

better to take it now rather than wasting it

[Justcrazy]

19 overs to go now.

[pakcricketfan]

Sarfraz and Afridi need to stay calm and bat out the 50 overs. Runs will follow.

[chui_kadoo]

There are no demons in this pitch for Lala

[Little Master]

Nelson on the board for six

[Warfare]

Sarfraz looks a solid bat.

[chui_kadoo]

I love these singles by Lala

[pakcricketfan]

4

LOL! Yes, 4.

Pakistan's batting performance has taken its toll on me... and my mathematics. :))

[chui_kadoo]

112-6 after 32

[Little Master]

The awkward moment when you are hoping for Afridi to come good with the bat

[Hamxa89]

The players don't even know what nelson is all about - Waqar

What a dumb thing to say :confused:

Why would they know? In fact why SHOULD they know. Australia ja ker zada angraiz ban giya hai

[Sledger]

Bad ball, smashed for a single only.

[IAJ]

If we can play out our overs we will get close to 200, will be a good score from here

[DOOSRA95]

Afridi has it in him to destroy the Lankan Attack today,it is his attitude that's all counts.

[NJamal]

112/6 after 32 overs

[Superman1]

:sahmed

[Sledger]

At least Afridi kept it on the carpet. His eyes normally light up for a mighty slog when he sees those sort of deliveries. Good play.

[pakcricketfan]

There are no demons in this pitch for Lala

There were no demons in the pitch for any of the other batsmen as well. They self-created them.

[chui_kadoo]

:wide

[Justcrazy]

Loads of overs to go.... these two can play out quite overs......they need to bat out 50 overs rather than get out in the 40 th.

[thelandofthebravepeople]

The awkward moment when you are hoping for Afridi to come good with the bat

:ajmal

[Sledger]

No need to take that risk yet. Exposed the stumps.

[chui_kadoo]

sensible batting by both

[Hamxa89]

hope he reaches bradman's average score.

I didn't know Bradman had an ODI average too :O

[Sledger]

Now a wide. Afridi toying with the bowler.

[Hamxa89]

Clear single there

[Justcrazy]

Afridi moves on to 6764 runs.

[chui_kadoo]

almost run out

[Little Master]

another wide

[NJamal]

Good fielding by Mahela

[Hamxa89]

That is what Afridi does :)))

[chui_kadoo]

another :wide

[pakcricketfan]

LOL. :wide

[hur rizvi]

prasanna trying to bowl googlies like mendis...

[NJamal]

3rd wide of the over

[iZaman]

Its Afridi :waqar.

Smart customer :waqar

:)))

[Sledger]

Another wide, sloppy ball.

[Looney]

lol wide pe wide :murali


at least Pakistani team is exciting to watch once again . :))

[Hamxa89]

I wish we had 11 Afridis today :(

[chui_kadoo]

afridi outsmarting the bowler

[ItsMeK1]

Drinks

[DOOSRA95]

Afridi should play a captain innings today?

[Sledger]

Smart customer...

..really? :afridi

[ChampLeO]

Did Waqar just say Afridi is a smart customer!?!

[NJamal]

118/6 after 33 overs

[chui_kadoo]

I wish we had 11 Afridis today :(
We would make 500 if that was the case

[Sledger]

Smart play here though - another single.

[Abdullah22]

'he is a smart customer' waqar said it.

[Justcrazy]

Singles are important here..... if they can pick up 3 - 4 singles for next 10 overs..... they willl have a competitive score.

[PerfectionPersonified]

wats wrong with running ? terrible

[chui_kadoo]

Afridi top scorer for Pak today so far

[Abdullah22]

We would make 500 if that was the case

or 0/10

[thelandofthebravepeople]

There were no demons in the pitch for any of the other batsmen as well. They self-created them.

That tuk tuk mindset is damaging for out team. Well said bro.

[Asif321]

:misbah

[NJamal]

Batting PP coming up in 2 overs.

[SAF]

We got this. Afridi got this.

[PerfectionPersonified]

i am waiting for PP :):)

[Justcrazy]

Hope Mohsin tells them to keep head to the ground and battle it out for next 17 overs......

[Hamxa89]

or 0/10

errr, no.

[Little Master]

i predict that this beast will get out in the first over of power play :(

[qamar84]

i forgot that pakistan had a match today i thought it will be monday but now i think i just turn on and saw the score i go crazy

[iemjaved]

Salaam guyz,
how easy is it for afridi to take singles..

[chui_kadoo]

or 0/10
Not the way Afridi is playing today

[Hamxa89]

We got this. Afridi got this.

:afridi

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

I really want Misbah to retire himself from ODIs. He's just hogging a spot.

[dhump]

Afridi should play a captain innings today?

while he is not actually captaining the side.

[Superman1]

Time for :sahmed to shut the mouths of his critics. Come on boy I know you can do it :sahmed

[asif9138]

how much pak will make??

[ChampLeO]

Afridi please just last two more over for the power play!

[Sherlock]

Get to 130-odd without losing another wicket, then strategies for the further runs.

[dhump]

i predict that this beast will get out in the first over of power play :(

dil to chahata hay ulta lita kar chittar lagaye banda tumay.

[mrk]

Waqar. Afridi playing realy good. Plz dont say that u will get him out !!!

[iZaman]

Waqar jinxing Afridi..

[iemjaved]

Time for afridi special 100

[Sledger]

*nobody appeals*

Ooooh, chance of an lbw - :waqar

[chui_kadoo]

good defence by Lala

[Little Master]

Jevan Mendis the new hero of Pakistan?

[NJamal]

Lala blocking

[S_K]

Waqar hates Afridi

[Hassan0987]

Single to Sarfraz

[iemjaved]

waqar you sound Sri lankan

[Justcrazy]

These two should play out next few overs, no need to do anything silly in the PP..... 25 of the PP without losing wickets would be enough .

[Looney]

Aaj Afridi ne tapasya ki hai match se pehle iss liye itni dheeraj ke saath khail rahe haiN :kapil

[Sledger]

Umar Akmal was in a great nick?

[chui_kadoo]

Lala strike rate going under 100. Just shows Lala is showing good concentration so far

[Warfare]

Good control by Sarfraz.

[Superman1]

Afridi unable to pick wrong ones.

[Sherlock]

Afridi waiting for the PP me thinks.

[chui_kadoo]

120-6 after 34

[Sledger]

Afridi misses this time - very rare loose shot by him today.

[WNC]

I smell a big shot coming up :afridi

I was wrong....

[WNC]

I smell a big shot coming up :afridi

I was wrong....

[hur rizvi]

last over before PP

hope no wkt falls here

[NJamal]

120/6 after 34 overs

[PerfectionPersonified]

PP pls

[mrk]

Today is they day when Sarfraz can make is place in team... Its up to him he take that or not. I wish him good luck. Was not a fan of him but watching him playing now he is a good batsmenn also for test matches

[chui_kadoo]

I hope Lala doesnt take too many risks in the PP

[Sherlock]

Umar Akmal and Malik's dismissals are endemic of what's wrong with our batting.

[Looney]

i am getting this sinking feeling about the PP

[Hassan0987]

Given lbw, review taken

[hur rizvi]

looks an inside edge

[chui_kadoo]

Sarfraz gone

[Little Master]

Sarfaraz out

[USIND]

:out

[Warfare]

Going down leg?

[Justcrazy]

Lala on 6767 ................. and counting

[Hamxa89]

Big inside edge

[Sledger]

Sarfraz given out - reviews straight away.

[NJamal]

review by Sarfaraz

[chui_kadoo]

woody sound there

[Hassan0987]

Its a sound, maybe inside edge

[iemjaved]

he is still not out in my stream

[Warfare]

Its out.

[Looney]

what is wrong with these umpires

[Hamxa89]

2 noises. Inside edge for sure

[IgnitedMind]

Shahid playing with strike rate of below hundred when his score is 28!! WOW...sensible eh?:D

[Warfare]

Can't tell if there is an inside edge.

[Hamxa89]

:( There's a noise for sure!!!!

[Asif321]

:out bye bye sarfraz not for next tour also

[Justcrazy]

Can Gul bat here today...... he had good timing with the bat...

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Edged it

[pakcricketfan]

Man.. they'll give it out. :(

[Hamxa89]

You just have to take into account the reaction for the batters. Both signaled for the review immediately

[hur rizvi]

edge is there but not visible

[Fireworks11]

Can still end up with a fighting score

[Hamxa89]

Hot spot would've definitely saved him

[chui_kadoo]

probably given out

[Asif321]

Zulqarnain Ready for next tour

[Outlaw]

what is wrong with these umpires

*** is wrong with waqar. Is he deaf?

[Sherlock]

That's out.

[iZaman]

THERE iS SOUND

[DOOSRA95]

Sarfraz is just crap

[Justcrazy]

Its over for Sarfaraz..... That might be end of his carer.

[Warfare]

Benefit of doubt should go to the batsman no?

[dhump]

what the hell 3rd umpire looks for he is not trying to get the nick if it is or not.

[Hamxa89]

edge is there but not visible

Needed Hotspot

[freelance_cricketer]

28 from 33 :O

[NJamal]

Inside edge

[Hassan0987]

Given out

[Sledger]

He's looking at hawkeye, he'll be give out I think.
