[Saj]

Chaps thought I would split the thread as it was becoming huge.

Fire away.........

[Rob H]

bang bang :97: :97:
there goes oxy

[the_game]

Pathan showing he didn't nick it. One match ban?

[Oxy]

My cunning plan is working....

[darkmoon459]

Oh , bowling gods are in love with Asif ,he is just superb.

[cavin420]

dravid vomes outtttttttttttttttttttttt
asif u lil beautyyyyyyyyyy i luv u :P

[sneekysneeky]

bhai vaah 12-2
2.3 overs
Asif great bowling

[nafajafam]

Asif does the trick again.

[Hydro]

come on pak now lets get another

[Hydro]

now lets get one these 2

[cavin420]

these are the 2 big guns now for me they hold the key, either one of em goes early thats it for india , game set n match for pak i feeels :D

[octavian]

who did gul sub guys

[nafajafam]

Wow, good shot to get off the mark by Dravid.

14-2

[cavin420]

who did gul sub guys
im not sure but i reckon its inzi..................

[Hydro]

My cunning plan is working....


which one is that then

[Kean0]

This is the partnership thats got to be broken

[Rob H]

Pakistan doing the biz. Now to get rid of SRT

[deadly_man]

:))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :)))
I know u r Rana's Big Fan but BLIND fan I will say.I also like rana or u can say I liked the Rana he was on indian tour.
anyway u can laugh because he is coming first change
I wanted Gul to bowl with new bowl...I am not sure whether he will be successfull or not but its worth a shot..
meanwhile Asif got pathan also
what a bowler!!

[inzidabest]

Razzaq should be given couple of overs

[nafajafam]

A great over by Asif. 14-2

[cavin420]

Pathan showing he didn't nick it. One match ban?
he should commit suicide after that :P
what a joke! 3 overs 14 for 2 india
make that 15!

[Easa]

2.6 Asif to Dravid, no run, bangs it short, Dravid gets under it to let it through
2.5 Asif to Dravid, no run, good length outside off and good bounce, shoulders arms
2.4 Asif to Dravid, 2 runs, well pitched up delivery, leans forward and drives it to sweeper cover

[Hydro]

im not sure but i reckon its inzi..................


cajn u sub the captian

ii think its moyo

[bounced]

who did gul sub guys


M yousuf

[Hash]

I honestly thought that incompetent gimp Rauf was going to give Pathan not out.

[darkmoon459]

Inshallah ,he will strike again in the next over ,a wicket per over ,and india all out in asif's 10 overs...................... I know i am dreaming!!!!! :19:

[Big Mac]

Asif got some swing the ball before he got rid of Pathan, makes the decision not to open with Rana all the more bemusing.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was so excited by a Pakistani player as I've been with Asif. Akmal is close but it's only recently he's started to blossom as a batsman, Asif has been a revelation.

[the_game]

Need Sachin out within the first ten overs. Come on boys!

[Kean0]

Oxy is going to release a million sheep to invade the pitch if pak are going to loose!

[Oxy]

which one is that thenTo support Pak...

[octavian]

im not sure but i reckon its inzi..................

shud have been afridi

[shahmaan]

salaam fellow pakistanis......we're deffinatley doin it....asif is the man

[nafajafam]

Gul continues his leg side line, single for Tendu

[Rob H]

super bowling by Asif. Hopefully we can have a tight game. This partnership now will be crucial.

[cavin420]

what a peach of a delivery by gull came back sharply well played by dravid in the process one run picked up!

[nafajafam]

Oooh, that one nipped back, inside egde but safe, single taken

[cavin420]

shud have been afridi
i agree my amazon friend!

gul finding the right spot now ;-)

[Easa]

3.3 Gul to Tendulkar, no run, false shot from Tendulkar, outside off and swung, Tendulkar goes hard at it and gets beaten by the swing

[nafajafam]

Hahaha, anyone see that little kid? Haha..

[deadly_man]

Razzaq should be given couple of overs
ya may be ..he has ability to get tend out..and it will be better for pak if they got tendulkar early

[Oxy]

GREAT image of that kid in the crowd!

[Hydro]

3.3 Gul to Tendulkar, no run, false shot from Tendulkar, outside off and swung, Tendulkar goes hard at it and gets beaten by the swing



thats the gul we know and love

[inzidabest]

First aim should be to get that RRR to 6

[cavin420]

hammered by the lil measteroo 44444444444 check his bat :D

[nafajafam]

Gul getting the ball to nip, a wicket is around the corner

[octavian]

gul is spraying it a bit.. but seeing it nonetheless

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Make this Guls last over for yet.. bring on rana next over pleaseeee

[nafajafam]

20-2

[octavian]

replace GUL !!!

[cavin420]

ok enuff now , time for rana :D first change bowler ;-) ]4 overs 21 for 2 india

[darkmoon459]

Umar is bowling all over the pitch ,can someone show him where the Stumps are.

[the_game]

Gul bowling way too short and way too wide for my liking.

[deadly_man]

Asif got some swing the ball before he got rid of Pathan, makes the decision not to open with Rana all the more bemusing.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was so excited by a Pakistani player as I've been with Asif. Akmal is close but it's only recently he's started to blossom as a batsman, Asif has been a revelation.

are u not all the time excited abt RANA??? :13:
even when rana and inzi are batting you will say comeon rana we have expectation only from u :)))

[nafajafam]

Mixed over, some good deliveries and bad ones. 21-2

[Oxy]

Gul the weak link-Asif puts on all the pressure..Gul releases it

[shahmaan]

guys howz asif bowling/

[Rob H]

tendi looking good early on. He's picked off all the bad balls. He is the big wicket.

[cavin420]

thats the gul we know and love[/QUOTE]

no way!!!! he should never be in the one dayers :P Saying that lets hope he does some magic.........
what a superb delivery by asif nearly took sachins off stump :D

[Kean0]

i wana watch the game now :```(

[Oxy]

Have we ever had an 'Asian McGrath' before.....

[the_game]

We need Rana to fire today. He has to be given the ball in the next two overs.

[Hydro]

but he drops one short and 4

[cavin420]

sachin showing his true class...leaving all them deliveries............alone!

[inzidabest]

come on asif. get Sachin

[Rob H]

Asif testing Tendu here. He is really bowling well.

[nafajafam]

Ramiz admiring the delivery, Shiva admiring the leave

[deadly_man]

Tendulkar looking in great form..need to get his wicket very early...ow I see pak loosing

[cavin420]

444444444 pulls it again ...moreover hammered it with that hammer....no ball as well make that 5 :|

[nafajafam]

Short one and a noball, Sachin swoops it for a 4.

[Easa]

Noball, four. Well controlled by Tendu.

[Rob H]

Tendulkar at his best. This is great to watch.

[Oxy]

Ramiz admiring the delivery, Shiva admiring the leaveAnd Waqar admiring the commentary :D

[the_game]

Sachin is punishing anything loose. We need his wicket badly.

[nafajafam]

26-2

[inzidabest]

no ball and 4. the biggest crime in this match

[cavin420]

i hope salman butts watching sachin , thats how u play away going deliveries n swining ones U LEAVE THEM ALONE BACHA!

26 for 2 in 5 overs

[Easa]

The ball swinging for Asif but Tendu is leaving with ease.

[samson786]

Pakistan 288/8 (50 ov)
India 21/2 (4.3 ov)

Way to go!!!!

[nafajafam]

And Waqar admiring the commentary :D

Waqar is busy admiring Reema...

End of a good over, Sachin looking in foyne nick.

[Easa]

Pathan went for a second-ball duck. He either fires or really gets out early.

[cavin420]

cav demands rana !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!replace Gul hes rubbish i have given him his moment of glory.........i cant defend him no more
saying that an unplayable outswinger beats sachin :D

[Rob H]

Tendu is very watchful. If there is anything that he could smash he is going after it (with sucess). If there is anything that is dangerous he is playing it watchfully. This is what he does best.

[nafajafam]

Why does Gul always bowl the first ball down the leg?

[Oxy]

Thats the line Gul! Just outside off stump with the hint of away swing-even Sachin plays and misses

[Easa]

5.2 Gul to Tendulkar, no run, that climbed right upto him, Tendulkar just manages to get away from it, magnificent delivery

[cavin420]

freeedi fielding at slips...by looking at his movment n energy levels.seems perfect to me!!!

[meetaqadir]

Nice start for Pakistan

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[Pace]

Gul needs to settle down!

[nafajafam]

Gul can be a handful when he gets it right.

[Big Mac]

Good take by Akmal, saved 4 runs there.

[nafajafam]

Down the legside, good save by Akmal

[the_game]

On a side note, Reema is hot. Really.

[Rob H]

This is poor bowling from Gul. He is bowling too many wide balls which means the batsmen can just picked off the singles.

[Hydro]

5.5 Gul to Dravid, no run, little bit short outside off, Dravid is not interested, Gul getting big swing

he need to use effetclty and get tnedulkar inshallah soon

[inzidabest]

wide

[Genghis]

Is it possible for Gul to bowl an over without giving away a 4 ball

[Easa]

Gul getting the ball to swing massively but not getting the line right..

[Rob H]

poor footwork from Tendi there

[Easa]

And Asif beats Tendu all ends up...

[nafajafam]

Asif, constatly beating Sachin, wicket could come soon

[UJ]

I wonder when Inzi brings Rana in???

[meetaqadir]

As soon as the required run rate comes about 6, idia is in trouble for sure.

[cavin420]

what magic deliveries could have got sachin with either one of em!!

[Hydro]

6.1 Asif to Tendulkar, no run, drew him for the drive, very little footwork there, comprehensively beaten

bowling

[inzidabest]

asif can get Tendulkar

[nafajafam]

Asif is bowling such a beautiful line. Wonderful find he has been

[shahmaan]

guys....how well did malik bat today....by stats he looked untroubled is that so?

[Hydro]

gul and asif not bwolign bad just nee the right line and lenght

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

RRR now 6

[cavin420]

they should have super subbed salman buttttttt!!!!!! :|

[darkmoon459]

OMG what a beauty ,Asif is troubling the little master.

[Rob H]

brilliant bowling from Asif. Tendulkar is troubled

[nafajafam]

Nipped back, huge appeal for caught behind but Kami and Asad not interested

[Hydro]

rrr not over 6 @6.02

[cavin420]

guys....how well did malik bat today....by stats he looked untroubled is that so?
like a true champ!!!!!!!!!!! hes the new ricky ponting!!!!! inshAllah!!! he will do gr8 things for pak!!!
30 for 2...REquired run rate now 6 :D

[nafajafam]

29-2

[MIG]

Asif is like cruise missile !

[Easa]

6.3 Asif to Tendulkar, no run, that jumped right into him, beats the inner edge, clips the pads and goes to the keeper, fabulous bowling

[Pace]

Gul has to mainatin pressure now after Asif's over.

[UJ]

End of a good over by asif

[Hydro]

good over

please gul u reapeat this over and tendu inshallah

[cavin420]

mannnnnnnnn rana ranaaaaaa ranaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , oo inzi is still on the field whose subbed :|:|

[Rob H]

more wides from gul

[nafajafam]

Gul needs to bowl short of a length like Asif, hes been bowling short

[Empirebuiltolast]

Ohai Cavin lala I heard Beauta Beauta happinin Uj Ghussa Ah Ghai See Munnoo.i..............................
Yar ye mod be ..................

Assalam-o-Alikum. How is every boody.?

[the_game]

This is good. Atleast we are keeping things tight here. Do need either of these two out soon though.

[inzidabest]

wide by Gul

[Easa]

Asif must be bowling well... even the Indian cricbuzz are praising him.

[cavin420]

Gul needs to bowl short of a length like Asif, hes been bowling short
he needs to take a rest n let rana make full use of the new ball!!


saying that beats dravid :D

[smoothcriminal]

like a true champ!!!!!!!!!!! hes the new ricky ponting!!!!! inshAllah!!! he will do gr8 things for pak!!!
30 for 2...REquired run rate now 6 :D


now now, these are relatively flat tracks. shoaib needs to be a lot more consistant for atleast a few years

[shahmaan]

Asif is like cruise missile !

they should have called the Babur cruise missle the Asif cruise missle

[nafajafam]

ooo, a jaffa. beats Dravid, almost a nick

[Rob H]

Gul finally hitting the right area

[inzidabest]

Get Razzaq or Rana

[Kean0]

I think we need to bring on our big gun now, to get rid of Tendu!

YOU KNOW IT! RAZZAQ!

well not just yet but he will get his wicket, he'll be on a high after his innings!

[cavin420]

now now, these are relatively flat tracks. shoaib needs to be a lot more consistant for atleast a few years
same tracks where the likes of inzi, younis, n yousaf batted! !!!!

32 for 2 india...oooooooo nearly a wicket...out swinger nice one!

[octavian]

we need tendi early

[Easa]

mannnnnnnnn rana ranaaaaaa ranaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , oo inzi is still on the field whose subbed :|:|

Mohammad Yousef got subbed for Umar Gul.

[Big Mac]

Gul starting to find his feet now thankfully.

[Rob H]

Pakistan doing a good job here. They're not letting India hit the boundries and so the run rate is gradually creeping up. If they carry on like this then India will have to do miracles.

[nafajafam]

Another jaffa, beats Dravid, so lucky to be still there.

[Oxy]

Fine over by GUL (yes I said Gul!)

[UJ]

tight over, just 2 from it

[nafajafam]

Good over, 32-2

[Pace]

Good Job Umar. He seems settled now. Wickets will come if Pak maintains pressure and a tight line.

[Hydro]

better over

[KaSaNoVa_G]

damnn i soo wish i was at home and not work.. lookz like our young opening bowlers
are bowling great... RR is gorn above 6 now aswell...

[the_game]

Very good over by Gul.

[Genghis]

Seems like Ghul has got his line sorted out ... is it possible that we have found 2 McGrath's to bowl together.

[Big Mac]

Edged short of slip, Asif really causing Sachin problems

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

just got to continue to build the pressure up

[Rob H]

Asif is really bowling well to Tendulkar. He's not giving him an inch.

[nafajafam]

Edged, but short of second slip. Asif is troubling tendu.

[Kean0]

SO whos going to run out Dravid today?

[Big Mac]

Rana :11:

[meetaqadir]

Pakistan must contain the indians to get wickets

[nafajafam]

Snorter and Sachin leaves it. good ball

[Hydro]

.4 Asif to Tendulkar, 1 run, width given, cuts it to deep backward point, good stop by Rana

well done rana

[cavin420]

Ohai Cavin lala I heard Beauta Beauta happinin Uj Ghussa Ah Ghai See Munnoo.i..............................
Yar ye mod be ..................

Assalam-o-Alikum. How is every boody.?
waslamz dear! where were u? i left pp for an hour just to as a sign of protest for deleting ur well built thread with carefully chosen n employed ppl in it!!! missed u , where was u hiding:|

33 for 2!

[Rob H]

Tendulkar gets off strike but that is another 4 dot balls. Great stuff from Asif.

[octavian]

oooooohhhhhhhhhh yeaaah !!!

i need to go back to laaaahhoooreeeeeeeeeeeee

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nice to see dravid in there - RRR rising

[UJ]

The dilemma is how long do we continue to bowl Asif. I think he should be rested after 6 overs to leave 4 overs for later on

[cavin420]

Ohai Cavin lala I heard Beauta Beauta happinin Uj Ghussa Ah Ghai See Munnoo.i..............................
Yar ye mod be ..................

Assalam-o-Alikum. How is every boody.?

33 for 2!

[nafajafam]

Oooh, those were nice..

[shahmaan]

gr8 over by asif

[nafajafam]

33-2

[Genghis]

Difference between runs and balls is now 10 ... keep it going boys!!!

[cavin420]

RR well over 6.20 :D
waqar : thats nice stadium is packed sun is going down bueeeeeeatiful :D

[Hydro]

9.1 Gul to Tendulkar, no run, outside off and seaming big, Tendulkar gets away

good man more like that

[Rob H]

the pressure is building on India now. The bowling is very tight. They need to play some shots now.

[cavin420]

damn sahcin gets lucky again leading edge goes begging to 3rd man :(

[nafajafam]

Gul is bowling beauties and there are plenty in the crowd !!

[meetaqadir]

Pakistan is bowling well right now.

[octavian]

teeeenda exteremlyy lucky

[the_game]

Really good bowling. I can smell a wicket!

[Easa]

After 9.3 overs, India are 34/2.

[Hydro]

edge unluckgullay

ull egt ur desserts soon inshallahj

[Oxy]

Outstanding over by Gul so far...finally he has confidence in himself..and he is taming the swing

[cavin420]

Gul is bowling beauties and there are plenty in the crowd !!
lhr lhrrrrrrr eeeeeeeeeeeh lhr lhr eeeeeeeeeeeeh
444444444444444 prob with gul bowls 4 beauties n 2 rubbish deliveries..
cav demands ranaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[UJ]

You just feel something is about to happen. India need to play some shots but the bowling is tight!!

[Hydro]

four byy dravid

[shahmaan]

said it too soon

[nafajafam]

On the legs and flicked for 4.... Gul had to bowl one on the legs !!

[Genghis]

Its always been an issue for Pak to contain the pressure ... lets see how long this beaut of a period lasts.

[Oxy]

Great reply by Gul after being hit for 4.

[cavin420]

hmmm well......10 overs 38 for 2...............power play taken!

[nafajafam]

Beaten again, great bowling there by Gul

[Easa]

Good shot, by Dravid. Where are the Indians today?

[meetaqadir]

Pakistan is bowling beautifully, but ahhhhhhhhhh! i can't see beaties in the stadium caz i am not watching match live on TV.

[inzidabest]

one more each from these two nd then razzy nd rana

[shahmaan]

man i hate the new rules for the odis....bring back the old for the world cup

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

might be a good idea to bowl asif through

[nafajafam]

Sachin actually managed to put "bat on ball".

[Kashif]

Some cracking seam bowling display. Need to make the batsmen play. M Asif been v unlucky. Gul bowling dolly mixtures alongside some jaffers.

[Easa]

10 overs gone, and Rana not in the attack. This is getting ridiculous now.

[cavin420]

btw i havent seen the regular beauty , that came in during the england series winks at nafa..jafa........

wooooooooo was that butt?? diving n stoppipng :O:O

[Oxy]

Ind fielding rubbing off on Pak? - good stop by Buttaaaa

[nafajafam]

Wow, Butt throws himself and great fielding.

[cavin420]

ok sachin clearly panicing now......playing false shots!

[shahmaan]

any new jems from waqAR TODAY?

[the_game]

Razzaq should be handy here.

[cavin420]

gud bouncer to dravid.......surpirzed.by that.............CR 3.66...........
39 for 2 nearly 11 overs now

[nafajafam]

Good short one, Dravid couldnt do anything and had to duck. Thats how to bowl a well directed bouncer !!

[cavin420]

ooooo how did that miss the stumps:|:|:|::O

[cavin420]

rememba peeps this is the worse time to bat coz of the dodgy light!!!

[nafajafam]

That was close !!

39-2

[Hydro]

asif is troublign them

just need to get them now

[UJ]

That was close/...

[Pace]

Need to save Asif take him off. Bring on Rana. Keep Gul on for a couple more.

[inzibhai]

RD almost brought it back on his stumps....

[Genghis]

Might be a good idea to bowl out Asif right now!!!

[inzidabest]

asif should finsh his qouta here

[Oxy]

Ive not been this excited about a Pak bowler since the emergence of the great hope, Salim Jaffer (and look what happened to him!!!)

[meetaqadir]

Now its time to chang Umar Gull with Naveed.

[octavian]

Sachin actually managed to put "bat on ball".

its " a baattta on aa ball " :))

[nafajafam]

rememba peeps this is the worse time to bat coz of the dodgy light!!!

True....

[shahmaan]

GUYS IM NOT WATCHING THE GAME..this is a question for those who are.....WHATS THE PITCH LIKE?

[Easa]

Just misses the stumps... That was close.

[cavin420]

any new jems from waqAR TODAY?
u shouldnt really be asking that question ! u should know waqar better by now :P


Gul needs to keep it tight 4 balls he goes off stump next 2 leg stump...........

[nafajafam]

Gul again starts off with a poor delivery but lucky there

[Easa]

Tendu smashes it straight to cover.

[Oxy]

any new jems from waqAR TODAY?

Just make one up-if he hasnt said it, he probably will!

[cavin420]

cav demands rana otherwise hes going to lahore himself!!! 44 ...for 2...poor bowling by gull.............................releasing all the pressure n hardwork done by asif...poor poor

[Genghis]

Mohd Asif (RFM) 6 0 15 2

Great work son!!!

[Hydro]

4 down leg

[inzidabest]

gul loves bowling on the pads 4444444

[nafajafam]

Once again on the legs and 4... Asif tried a leg split but couldnt stop that.

[Easa]

GUYS IM NOT WATCHING THE GAME..this is a question for those who are.....WHATS THE PITCH LIKE?

A flat pitch but swinging with the new ball for us and for the Indians.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

inzidabeast - u changed ur mind in a hurry! - although i definitely agree with u now that asif should bowl through - gul should take a breather after bowling 6 overs and then rana should come on.

For bowling at death if we get the chance we have rana and yasir arafat

[cavin420]

or even bring arafat he can bowl u 6 yorkers!!!!!in one over!!

46 for 2!

[Easa]

Flicked away for four.

[nafajafam]

We have 4 similiar kind of bowliers.

[UJ]

2/46 from 12

[Hydro]

guull need s a rest

[nafajafam]

Ordinary over by Gul.

[Easa]

46-2 after 11.

[shahmaan]

bring on rana he is a better option that guy can swing the ball as good as anybody

[inzidabest]

7 runs in that over.damn.come on

[KaSaNoVa_G]

I think that should be Guls last over for yet.. bring on Rana....

[Easa]

Asif just might bowl through here...

[the_game]

Run rate still in check. One of these two will have to explode to get the run rate up, and then we should cash in with a wicket.

[cavin420]

time for a change rana naveed ul hassan uncle into the attack go on uncZZZZ!!! show em what u got u old man!!!!!bend ur back
beautifull startttt outwsinger!

[Hydro]

rana in

[nafajafam]

Ranbo !!
