40 min then we are on air with straight drive!

[HAFRIDI]

hasnt our cavin made a thread on this already:P

[Waseem]

Sorry!!!I thought the other thread was created yesterday just for pre match discussion.

Any team news????

[cavin420]

i just finished reading noddy,s thread, in which he said mohd sami was fine....so im hoping he plays n proves a point or 2 to all his critics....inshAllah he is the man!

[cavin420]

by the way if arshad plays this match then i dont know what to make of this team selection by pakistan............i thought mohd hafeez was in good cricketing form both with bat and ball....does he have a clean dosra though?

5 more minutes to go according to Ary

[Slugger]

cav is it starting early?
isn't it supposed to be one more hour?! does anyone know if ary asia will broadcast it?

[cavin420]

no sluggs its the Straight drive with the great imran khan, nasser hussain and sanjay manjerakor!

[cavin420]

it has all the updates , live pictures from multan team news etc 3 more minutes to go will keep all of you posted from the word go no worries!

[cavin420]

we are on air hurrayyyyyyyyyyyy........if meomery serves sanjay is wearing the same tie he wore during the karachi test match day 4 .......which means ;-) .........lets hope so...showing replays from the last game....i really do feel rana needs to bowl within himself was way too over-aggressive for my liking

[cavin420]

sanjay : a couple of wins and india is suddenly looking alot more stronger then they were..

nasser: yes , sanjay amazingly now its all pakistan....pakistans batting order , pakistans fielding............looks like india are favourites but never write pakistan off

imran khan : on inzi, its amazing if you see inzi bat against england too me was in the form of his life....watching him now im afraid its all self inflicted...........in limited overs match u need ur top batsman to bat higher up the order........same all talk by mr khan again

[Slugger]

guys we can talk all the strategy we want...we can analyze statistics and facts...but the kicker is that this is Pakistan...

and nothing is predictable about Pakistan! batting lineups...bowling strategies...pitch decisions...it all won't matter

[Xeo]

Any news on the toss. It's supposed to happen an hour before but they dont show it on telly till 10 minutes before....

[cavin420]

imran khan reckons inzi should be comparing himself with the likes of ponting, flemming, n sachin tendulkar.....(in replys to inzi,z artile in jung saying he will bat at no 5.........

imran now tells during 2002 b4 the worldcup there was a meeting with wasim, waqar n inzi himself.........in which imran said inzi u need to bat at 3.....becoz all the best batters bat there..........but he didnt take my advice on board for somereason


ps i dont know why hes making this into such a big fuss

[slix10]

Toss always happens like 15 minutes before...

[cavin420]

now nasser hussain has his slice of the pic......says look at india ..they had a prob during the test batting line up..he took responsibilty dravid............in all the teams its the captains........so for me inzi should take more responisbilty.........(malik at no 3 is superb why all the fuss??

we are in multan now.....conditions overcasted again.......deano on with mic holding......its holdings birthday now hes 58 :O...........

[Xeo]

Probably coz he feels that Inzi needs to lead from the front. And that's what Immy did when he was cap'ain! :D

[Xeo]

Toss always happens like 15 minutes before...

You sure? I think it happens 30-50 minutes before. They just should it 15 minutes before on telly.

[cavin420]

deanoo : new day alot of changes even 2 new umpires.....so how do u play if ur pakistan to holding....pak are hit with injuuries n few probs but never write off pakistan anyside....

win the toss n field.............team batting 2nd wins!

[cavin420]

deano : on super sub decision.....march 25th will be binned....mic holding yeah captains didnt like it so..............

mic holdings thoughts....hes not been here for 25 yrs..........says this looks like a cricket ground now alot different now

showie peeps mic holdings 52 :D

[hatch101]

[inzidabest]

imran khan reckons inzi should be comparing himself with the likes of ponting, flemming, n sachin tendulkar.....(in replys to inzi,z artile in jung saying he will bat at no 5.........

ps i dont know why hes making this into such a big fuss

inzi did bat at 3 in the 2003 world cup and was a big flop

[inzidabest]

i hate to say it guys :( , Pak aint gonna win :6:

no probs mate. Pak has already won the test series.

[cavin420]

inzi did bat at 3 in the 2003 world cup and was a big flop
so he did take imrans advice............look at the results imran n now plz stay shut........wonder what his prob is..thats been tried n tested

[Pathan007]

i hate to say it guys :( , Pak aint gonna win :6:i've got the same feeling. let's hope Allah(SWT)turns it other way. :)

[hatch101]

whats your address???


galie no.420 :21:

[cavin420]

waqr giving rana n razak some advice gud.....

now bob woolmer with deano.........india playing well we have to be right up there........look we just need to field better...but we have to score more runs this time.......about inzi....i know .....i like inzi not to bat against the new ball........n send in our power hitters to score in the first 20 overs power plays n then inzi could go in n consolidate but unfortunalty didnt work out...............about injuries.....gul out...due to his hip inury..shoaib akhtar...fracture.....so its unfortunate to have them injuries.............
on the pitch looks like to have spin innit.but im not quiet sure.............we need to win this one n next one boys are up for it!

[darkmoon459]

Salaam Guys:
I have just one question ,what is our team consist of ,you know with all the injuries and stuff.

[inzidabest]

thats better hatch101

[cavin420]

imran khan again at it...criticisng bob see sanjay hes saying hes sent the powerhitters to face the new ball where it should be the best players taking the new ball look at india...all there power hitters come when the balls old (i dont know which matches imran khan watches..............irfan pathan no3 .....hes shoaib mohd or sunil gavaskar right imran!!

[cavin420]

pitch report with mic holding.....pitch looks gud grass on it..but has been rolled alot......so all moisture squeezed out.........
shiva...conditions not in play for spinenrs so dont seeing spinners from anyside being of much use................mohd sami can be livly today...........

team batting 2nd will have the advantage...no matter how much team batting 1 will get,...we will chase them down............
there u go peeps another batting paradise!

[Zeenix]

galie no.420

So that's why you trying to mislead people...

[Empirebuiltolast]

sanjay amazing india vs pak......cricket in the sub-continent n spin hasnt played a huge part.........nasser hussain reckons paksitan could play danish kaneria esp after loosing shoaib akhtar......since hes a wicket taker (Amazing frm the guy who thought danish had a prob with his tamperament was too aggresive for a spinner esp after being hit for a boundery...........:O)

why did he not keep a bowler as a supersub. had Pakistan even bowled first , they could have used the supersub to change with the bowler who is not bowling well.

[ontheBackfoot]

imran khan says hes never seen pak middle order play so well like it has...but again starts his critiscm :))):)) this is clearly too much imran come on ur better than that!


Imran khan has changed so much since he has started politics. I think he has become a true politician. But everyone knows he gets paid for his expert comments and thats what he is doing... "Expert comments, Right or Wrong, you decide :20: ".

[inzidabest]

If pak get in trouble we can use him
then faisal was a better choice as faisal is a middle order player

[Big Mac]

He's started again on the Younis Khan at 3 and jabbering on about how much of an injustice it would be if a guy averaging 100 had to bat at 6.

Someone email Straight Drive and tell him that Younis averages 22.60 at number 3 on ODIs

[RunInzyRun]

Salman Butt,
+Kamran Akmal,

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

stupid team selection......wat the hell....choosing a batsmen as your supersub....thats ridiculous

[HAFRIDI]

then faisal was a better choice as faisal is a middle order player

maybe he was, but im not discussing that, i only discuss the team we have, man i dont know why fans look back even though teams announced, get over it, back the team!

[Empirebuiltolast]

This is not the playin 11

Here you go :)

[Raz]

Salam guys, how is everyone!

Dravid won the toss again and Pakistan batting first again?????

[MIG]

dua karro jee, dua Imran Khan aur NAsser Hussein nay to Pak ka death sentence sunna diya hai !

Buss ALLAH malik hai - Inzi - lagaday jaan yaar !

[Xeo]

5 batsmen, 4 bowlers, 1 allrounder, 1 w/keeper. Seems okay.

Ofcourse I'm counting Malik as a batsme, and Arafat as a bowler.

[cavin420]

its zaheer or powar??? any idea?
india dito same team...zaheer super sub again just to provide cushsion for agarkar if he doesnt feel well!

[inzidabest]

stupid team selection......wat the hell....choosing a batsmen as your supersub....thats ridiculous
batsman as a supersub was a wrong choice.especially when you know that opposition wants to insert you first.
a bowler supersub would have been ideal.
even if you bowl first, you wont need the supersub .the conditions will favour you.

Now if you bat first , anyways supersub could b eof use.
poor team thinkin

[deadly_man]

so Sami is back in team.
Farhat is supersub and pak batting first so he wonyt be of any use.

[inzidabest]

india dito same team...zaheer super sub again just to provide cushsion for agarkar if he doesnt feel well!
bowler super sub was the best Idea.when will Inzy learn

[cavin420]

If pak get in trouble we can use him
i cant see lightning striking twice dear...........inshAllah think positive no collapse this time...n lets hope for a change kamran akmal takes strike to pathan!

[Raz]

The other thing with Farhat is that he can bowl as well and of late his bowling had been pretty tidy, not to mention his electric fielding!

[deadly_man]

India again going with only 4 bowler while pak goingg with 6.

India think theor part time bowler like tendulkar,yuvraj are good enough to restrict pakistan medicore batting

[inzidabest]

Was he so sure that he wont wint the toss?
I have mentioned it for both cases.the best choice was a bowler as a supersub irrespective of whether you won the toss or lost

[badxhah]

Miggy bhai aaj Inzi ka chechra kaisa ta after losing the toss? :D


hes grown another white hair in his beard

[Raz]

waslam raz...hows u!
dravid only won the toss for the 2nd time....come on :D have a heart now...........

Im fine thanks, dont worry im very confident that we can do well today!

[deadly_man]

I have mentioned it for both cases.the best choice was a bowler as a supersub irrespective of whether you won the toss or lost
How will u justify the selection of bowler if u win the toss and elected to field first???

I think it was good choice ..but bad luck he lost the toss

[HAFRIDI]

Im fine thanks, dont worry im very confident that we can do well today!

InshALlah

[RunInzyRun]

Bad idea actually....we're batting first, why a batsmen!?

[deadly_man]

1st ball of the match
and Butt gone
edge to the keeper.

[cavin420]

deano : sanjay as u know multan is one of my fav places in the world :O:O ......deano steady now.....

[Empirebuiltolast]

I just feel my Maga BEast will Perform to his fullest potential today Inshallah

[inzidabest]

How will u justify the selection of bowler if u win the toss and elected to field first???

I think it was good choice ..but bad luck he lost the toss
if you win the toss and elect to field first you have the best of bowling conditions. You dont need a extra bowler.
and you can always replace a supersub bowler with a bowler who is not bowling well.You cannot replace a batsman like that.

[HAFRIDI]

1st ball of the match
and Butt gone
edge to the keeper.

he wont hopefuly this time

[Empirebuiltolast]

1st ball of the match
and Butt gone
edge to the keeper.

Kiaun Bhai Pee Lee Hai :13: :>

[The_Cricket_Devil]

salaam every1 cricket dev here to cheer on the winning side InshAllah. Pakistan look weak on paper without the beast on board but nonetheless as the past has shown Pakistan is an unpredictable side. Hopefully all goes well for us and we bounce back here (ive been taking quite a bit of Indian heat after last 2 games)

CMON PAKISTAN!

[inzidabest]

1st ball of the match

[octavian]

salam everyone

and i log in too as usual to listen to cav go on and on about ever lil thing that goes in the ground :P

lets hope we can do a miracle today.. altho things dont look too good for us today

[cavin420]

The other thing with Farhat is that he can bowl as well and of late his bowling had been pretty tidy, not to mention his electric fielding!
yes hes a gud fielder world class if u compare him with the likes of butt , razi,asif,rana.....another positive is mohd sami........inshAllah he will deliver the guds today

[jusarrived]

ur watching'indias 12th sucessul run chase at a stretch' :D :D

[deadly_man]

if you win the toss and elect to field first you have the best of bowling conditions. You dont need a extra bowler.
and you can always replace a supersub bowler with a bowler who is not bowling well.You cannot replace a batsman like that.
agree

thats y they chooses batsman
because if they win the toss they wanted to bowl and they have best of boiwling condition so they dont need extra bowler.so they can replace batsman for 2nd innning.
I think if they were fielding first u would have been first to say gud choice for supersub

[jusarrived]

sami in team? yummy yummy! :D

[cavin420]

salam everyone

and i log in too as usual to listen to cav go on and on about ever lil thing that goes in the ground :P

and your welcome if thats your way of thanking me:P

[deadly_man]

u sure?
no it was just a bad dream :D

[Big Mac]

Re: The Supersub

We have 6 bowling options in the team, we don't need another front line bowler. Our batting has been terrible, we need to set well over 300 to really feel confident of stopping India. Doesn't matter how many bowlers we have if they have to try and defend 230 on a flat track.

If we have another early collapse then we've got Farhat to come in and try and put a good target on the board and he can also chip in with a few overs if needed.

[RunInzyRun]

u sure?

dude, the match hasnt even started, chill

[Empirebuiltolast]

ur watching'indias 12th sucessul run chase at a stretch' :D :D

No Bro. :P

[HAFRIDI]

i gotta feelin sami will shine..cmmon sami!

[Raz]

yes hes a gud fielder world class if u compare him with the likes of butt , razi,asif,rana.....another positive is mohd sami........inshAllah he will deliver the guds today

Its now or never with Sami, his country needs him to perform at his best more so than perhaps ever before. This is his stage and inshallah he will deliver!!

[inzidabest]

agree

thats y they chooses batsman
because if they win the toss they wanted to bowl and they have best of boiwling condition so they dont need extra bowler.so they can replace batsman for 2nd innning.
I think if they were fielding first u would have been first to say gud choice for supersub
no. if the pitch has moisture and both teams want to bowl first, bowler has to be supersub.

however if both teams want to bat first , batsman has to be supersub

[Raz]

Umpires coming out now

[HAFRIDI]

we definately need 300+ this time!

[badxhah]

ur watching'indias 12th sucessul run chase at a stretch' :D :D


So tell me excalty were they able to chase down that karachi score also in the test matc.after we presented Dravid n his smurfs a green top ....which they wanted so bad ...

[Raz]

[cavin420]

Pak will win today and carry the confidence in the last game that they can both defend a total and chase one..

Bucknor is here ??

I loved taufel umpiring man

[HAFRIDI]

Akmal facing pathan first 2 balls dot balls

[Raz]

Crowd is very noisy!

[deadly_man]

no. if the pitch has moisture and both teams want to bowl first, bowler has to be supersub.

however if both teams want to bat first , batsman has to be supersub
ur strategy is choose supersub such that u cant use him if u win the toss??
right??

[cavin420]

defends kami all 3 balls.......balls swining in wonder why kamis jumping around?:O

[gandalfthegrey]

you guys will win this one - dravid is naive enough to believe that the Pak top order will collapse third time in a row - and besides, he's playing that joker gambhir again. I predict 337 for Pakistan, India 261 all out.

[inzidabest]

Re: The Supersub

We have 6 bowling options in the team, we don't need another front line bowler. Our batting has been terrible, we need to set well over 300 to really feel confident of stopping India. Doesn't matter how many bowlers we have if they have to try and defend 230 on a flat track.

If we have another early collapse then we've got Farhat to come in and try and put a good target on the board and he can also chip in with a few overs if needed.
Farhat could have been in the team and Rana could have been supersub.

Now if Inzy won the toss, he would have bowled. He would not have needed Rana as he would have had the best of bowling conditions. 5 bowlers were enough. Plus he could replace anyone of the bowler who was bowling bad with Rana.


Had Inzy lost the toss, he would have batted first and Rana would have been replaced by any batsman while bowling second.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kami a lil jumpy here but defending well here

0.5 0-0 so far

[HAFRIDI]

maiden over!!

i think the strategy is see off pathan with new ball

[octavian]

strategy seems to be to see off the new ball..a good one i think

[cavin420]

kami jumping to much still 5 balls n has defended ..n jumped around his crease needs to stay still.n steady......its only 79 mph............
maiden over.........................first one

[Raz]

Maiden from Pathan

Pak 0-0 after 1

[deadly_man]

hehe my dream was wrong
butt is not even facing the first ball.

a make shift opner is defending specilist opner from getting out in first over :D

[The_Cricket_Devil]

0.0

[the true passionist]

indians are chirpy in the field....pak will have to do the same when they came into field.

[HAFRIDI]

strategy seems to be to see off the new ball..a good one i think

[Raz]

Sreesanth will open with Pathan

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[PakVsAus]

[PakVsAus]

[cavin420]

last ball defends another maiden

[Raz]

2 maidens

0-0 after 2

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another maiden

2 overs bowled

0-0

pressure will build here

[Big Mac]

Farhat could have been in the team and Rana could have been supersub.

Had Inzy lost the toss, he would have batted first and Rana would have been replaced by any batsman while bowling second.


Rana has to be in the first XI to be honest.

[HAFRIDI]

akmal gets pak off the mark with single

[cavin420]

we are awayyyyyyyyyy with that singleeeeeeeee

[Raz]

Akmal and Pak off the mark 1-0,

[PakVsAus]

oh great! 2 maidens wat could be worse

[Statman]

I think they are going to take it easy and see off the first 10 overs.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yay pakistan off the mark

kami gets single to fine leg

1-0

2.1

[sneekysneeky]

pak off the mark with a single off pathan

[cavin420]

this will be intresting butt facing pathan and down the leg side....easily played for no run

[inzidabest]

Rana has to be in the first XI to be honest.
ok. any one else. But a bowler should be a super sub when both teams are wanting to bowl first

[Big Mac]

defends kami all 3 balls.......balls swining in wonder why kamis jumping around?:O

It's what he always does. It's his way of making sure he gets his body behind the ball

[PakVsAus]

Inshallah guys! we just need to see the 1st 5 overs off

[octavian]

hahaaha, octaviane, you cant post.......:P

why inzi bhai ?

[HAFRIDI]

yep they are gonna try and save wkts and go all out for big hitting in the last 15!

[Empirebuiltolast]

What about girls that fancy you at uni? :P

But only with their complete contact detail. A massage From MODS assistant. :19:

[Raz]

Edged but wide of slip!! Single taken!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

edged by butt but he gets 2 phew

[Zeenix]

Pak openers are acting as though the Pitch is a Mine Field and they are playing a Timeless Test

[cavin420]

damn again the same shot this time gets lucky 3rd slip was alomost caught again unlblvable.......2 runs to 3rd man though

[inzidabest]

oh great! 2 maidens wat could be worse

Relax mate.just the start of the match

[octavian]

salman facing pathan

YALLAH khair

[Big Mac]

That ball shows why it doesn't matter if butt faces the first ball or not. At some point he has to face Pathan with the new ball swinging a lot. Making Akmal face won't make any difference, he can't hide from Pathan forever.

[PakVsAus]

GUYS
!!! is the ball moving ?

[Raz]

Lovely on drive for 3!!

[cavin420]

next ball 333333333333......beautiful shot down the ground
pak 6 for 0

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good shot for 3 by butt to mid on

[Zeenix]

Come on No point in handling the Advantage to Indian bowlers....

[Raz]

Cut in the air for a single to deep point

[deadly_man]

Pathan to Salman Butt, two runs, outside the off, short of a
driving length, Butt comes forward in defense, the ball takes the
edge and goes where third slip would have been and runs down to
the third-man region
bacxh gaya

[Raz]

8-0 after 3

[cavin420]

nice sexy shot by kami late cuts for 1 ..........n next ball butt plays it down to 3rd man .8 without a wicket n retains the strike!

14-0 after 6

[Zeenix]

The thing i don't like about Butt is that he looks too timid at the crease. He looks more like a lamb amongst a pack of Wolves...
