Salman and Kamran are opening

[tahaqureshi]

im getting confused..

DO WE POST HERE OR AT THE OTHER THREAD???!!!

[Hadiq]

finally a few singles...

[DM]

I always like it when we bat first because there is no upper limit to the runs can potentially make

[sajjad]

what other thread r ppl posting on
the old pp

[tahaqureshi]

no..there is a sticky thread..

for the 'official discussion'

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan 30/0 off 7.5 overs

[Amjid Javed]

pak 30/0 off 8 ovrs

[sajjad]

bring on the random scoring/commentary here

leave the big discussions for the discssion thread

[tahaqureshi]

runs are drying up..i know we need a steady start but shouldn't we be scoring?

[Amjid Javed]

butt slashs ball to 3rd man

pak 31/0

[Amjid Javed]

taha, give it till 10th over and then open up.

[sajjad]

tahai bhai,
can u make that signature pic a little smaller
wud really appreciate it
makes browsing the thread a lot easier

[Amjid Javed]

quick single taken

pak 32/0

[sajjad]

9 overs
31/0

great solid start
but really need to start scoring now
300+ should be our target and for that we need to score at 6.56+ runs an over

[Amjid Javed]

single for akmal to 3rd man

pak 33/0

[tahaqureshi]

yes i agree saj..but i DON"T KNOW HOW...

i mean i made this pic on photoshop..i can't change the size now..but i have uploaded it on photobucket..

can u teach me how..i absolutely have no problem in making it smaller..

i just need to know how..

btw..my name is taha

[Amjid Javed]

salman butt agen plays a poor pull shot almost out

pak 34/0

[Naveed]

This is ok, our strength is lower order batting and keeping wickets in hand is a good thing.

[Amjid Javed]

10 overs --> pak 34/0

[Naveed]

I'm glad Kamran is in there to open instead of the fisherman!

[Hadiq]

good stuff
Im wondering why salman keeps going for the pull shot...he got out attempting to play it last match aswell

[Amjid Javed]

reon king on now

[sajjad]

taha,
u can use pretty much any photo editing software to change the dimension of the pic. upload that n it shud work

i havent worked with photbucket so im not quite sure. can neone else help.

[tahaqureshi]

which photo editing sftware can i use???

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 36/0 off 10.4

[sajjad]

i use picasa nowadays free software from google

works awesome. i love it. rate it the best in user friendliness and plenty of features as well

[Naveed]

Stop playing pull shot Salman!

[sajjad]

11 over
37/0
RR 3.36

cmon now we gotta start scoring

[Amjid Javed]

S butt gone, poor shot!

[Hadiq]

there you have it...stupid attempt

[Naveed]

Butt another poor shot, will he learn?

[sajjad]

dammit!!!

no RR and we lose a wicket
pakistan hobbling a bit

[Amjid Javed]

Naveed i agree, salman was playing pull shot 2 mant times with no sucsess and now has perished with airy fairy drive!

[sajjad]

it was bound to happen
RR was low
it was time they started scoring

full delivery a bit of swing and he is OUT

[Amjid Javed]

hameed new batsmen in now...!

[Amjid Javed]

hameed off mark with single.

pak 38/1 off 11.5 ovrs

[sajjad]

the old style of cricket doesnt work nowadays
u outta score quicker from early on AND keep wickets safe simultaneously

btw Waqar said Salman Khan instead of BUTT.llol

[Naveed]

Disappointing stuff from Salman he is capable of much better.

[Amjid Javed]

12 overs ---> pak 39/1

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal edges ball past 1st slip for 4

pak 43/1

[tahaqureshi]

43/1

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal gone, flicks ball straight to square leg

Pak 44/2

[catwoman]

Kamran gone

[Naveed]

great catch by Bravo

[Amjid Javed]

Youhana in now.. pakistan in trouble.

[sajjad]

wowww

what a catch
on full stretch
amazing stuff
slow RR hurting pakistan now

[tahaqureshi]

well pak were in trouble at 49/3 last night as well

[Amjid Javed]

14 overs --> pak 44/2

[Naveed]

oh boy, might be one of those collapse days

[sajjad]

wicket maiden

pakistan in the thick of it at the moment

[tahaqureshi]

well i hope this is as thick as it gets

[Naveed]

Well needed boundary

[Naveed]

What the hell was that?

[sajjad]

how did they survive that one

shocking save of a run out..lol

[Naveed]

Youhana literally kicked that ball!

[sajjad]

youhanna interfering with the field
he would have been out had they appealed

pakistan very lucky there

[Naveed]

Yeah I don't know why they didn't appeal on that.

[Naveed]

Horrific running should have been another runout. Powell could have literally taken the bails off himself instead of throwing it.

[sajjad]

haha
this is getting too funny now

niether team wants to win apparently

[Civil]

This is I believe a match between the two least professional Test Teams.

And there definitely showing it.

[sajjad]

this is more of a comedy show than a cricketing match

lol
but wheres everyone

no one commenting on the thread here

[Civil]

they're all on the discussion thread

[sajjad]

no i think theyr not posting there either

[Naveed]

Yasir bowled, nice delivery by King

[Naveed]

Well the usual has happened 3 wickets down and Yousuf and Inzi in to avoid the collapse!

[Officer Barbrady]

Hinds spell will be important, we must not lose wickets to him even though he is getting some swing.

[Naveed]

Hinds was getting tremendous swing.

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan

lets make a match of this now

[Civil]

2 successive 4's by Inzimam

good over by Pakistan in the 26th

[Naveed]

Well poor captaincy by Lara. Hinds needs at least 1 slip.

[Officer Barbrady]

Youhana edges ball dies on it way to the keeper..just short. Next two balls beat the outside edge.

We have been rather lucky so far.

[Naveed]

Youhana having a lot of trouble with Bravo

[sajjad]

only 19 overs left

pakistan needs to get to that 300 run mark

[DM]

If they take too long, Afridi should be promoted. He simply has to bat, it'd be illogical and a huge waste otherwise.

[Naveed]

Afridi should be the first new batsman after the 40th over.

[Naveed]

Ok now they are accelerating

[MIG]

WIs weak links being exposed - we should aim to be 210+ by 40th over....

[sajjad]

14 overs @ 10 = 140
177+140 = 310

thats our target right there

[DM]

But don't forget that there's Afridi and Razzaq, and if they click:

10 overs @ 16 = 160 :-D

[Naveed]

Who is that bald guy in the clubhouse next to Afridi?

[tahaqureshi]

patnership between these two of 108 with a runrate of almost 7!!!!!!

[MIG]

205 in the 40th - a little slower than expected - time to unleash the BIG shots .....

[tahaqureshi]

youhana needs three more to beat his sunday score

[DM]

Pakistan 205/3 (40.0 ov)

Right, great going. Now we have to apply the turbo boosters like only Pakistan can. I mean at least 12 an over.

[DM]

We need some violent batting now. Afridi should be promoted especially with his form.

[MIG]

I dont mind Inzi giving it some good body blows here

[sajjad]

almost a six

cmon Inzi, get that century
and cross 320

[MIG]

Inzis strike rate is awesome - he is doing so well Mashallah !

[MIG]

WI have a problem with the bowlers now, all the part timers have gone for big runs so far - Pak must capitalize further

[Civil]

Get ready for the fireworks everyone!!!!

GO INZI GO

[DM]

only 7 off that Gayle over. Not fast enough

[tahaqureshi]

they have almost fully bowled their specialist bowlers

and have left the last 9 overs to their part timers..

wat a gift!!!!!!!!! :oD

[MIG]

One of these 2 may have to sacrifice their 100 to get Afridi in !! Have a bad feeling that its Inzi !

Pak need to score at 10/over.... cmon PAk...

[tahaqureshi]

well inzi has been bowled..

no if afridi comes..we can expect lots of runs...

i just hope this isn't the beginning of a collapse..

we can't tkae it easy..only 224 runs rite now

[Civil]

dont worry after afridi there razzaq and malik

we'll get there inshAllah

another selfless innings by inzi over a run a ball

[sajjad]

wonder what 2-3 words Inzi said to Razzaq as they met

[MIG]

Inzi always sacrifices his wicket for the big shots - Yoyo never! Razzaq in ...

[MIG]

Big mistake - should have sent in Afridi to throw the cat among the pidgeons - quick 30 in 2 overs would set it up nicely for Razzaq to finish off in style !

[DM]

Guys i honestly cannot see the logic of not sending Afridi now.

He bats at a biggers strike rate than anyone else so if he clicks we would have the maximum score we can get from this stage. If he gets out THEN we use Malik and Razzaq to finish the innings.

Anyone see what i mean? It's basic maths.

[161]

Razzaq in not afridi ?????
That is an absloutly idiotic

Thats it!!!!
Inzi is through being captain.
He is a great batsmen , but he has a bird brain !!!

[Civil]

Agree DM
it puzzles me, nevertheless Razzaq can crank them too, and is a better runner of singles

[DM]

Glad you see the lunacy too guys! Imagine they send Shoaib Malik in next....

I dont think its lunacy at all. I would have gone with afridi but razzaq is no slouch guys! by the way there's still 6 overs to go!!!

[MIG]

Razzaq takes a few balls to get going ( too long for this stage ) Afridi can hit from ball 1 - why waste him now ?

[sajjad]

amazing over by youhana
wow

5 doubles and a 4 n a wide

awesome

[Bailan]

I think we are playing slower then usual .... need to speed up

[DM]

I agree Razzaq is no slouch. But Afridi for 8 overs will more than likely get more runs than Razzaq instead for 8 overs. And even if he gets out, Razzaq's still comes in.

It's simple maths.

[DM]

And that too, exactly MIG

[Officer Barbrady]

Youhana should go now. We need Afridi.

[Bailan]

time to cross 10 an over ...

I agree Razzaq is no slouch. But Afridi for 8 overs will more than likely get more runs than Razzaq instead for 8 overs. And even if he gets out, Razzaq's still comes in.

It's simple maths.

DM bhai, you can make the same argument by switching around afridi and razzaq's names. i know you have a bias against afridi, i love him to death as well. alsl i'm saying is...the decision isnt as bad as youre making it out to be.

[Sage]

Youhana should go now. We need Afridi.

You posted that the same exact time I did on the other thread |-A

[sajjad]

i hope Youhana doesnt start thinking about his 100

we need some selfless ball smacking in the next 30 balls to cross 300

[DM]

I fear he might be playing for his century now when at this stage we need to maximise the runs. To be fair to him, he's human so it'd take a strong character not to go for personal milestones.

[tahaqureshi]

there are too many dot balls...we can't collapse..

we need fours and sixes here

[DM]

I agree Razzaq is no slouch. But Afridi for 8 overs will more than likely get more runs than Razzaq instead for 8 overs. And even if he gets out, Razzaq's still comes in.

It's simple maths.

DM bhai, you can make the same argument by switching around afridi and razzaq's names. i know you have a bias against afridi, i love him to death as well. alsl i'm saying is...the decision isnt as bad as youre making it out to be.
No bro, this isn't about bias or personal favourites, it's just a question of likelihood. Past experience suggests that Afridi bats quicker than anyone else!

[Sage]

AFRIDI!!!!!!!!

[tahaqureshi]

253/5...

wide AND four...thank God

[sajjad]

cmon Afridi

dekha do pathan power!!!

[Naveed]

beauty of a 6!

and afridi proves DM right once again! :)

DM bhai like I said before I agree with you. afridi is the quickest scorer. but all i'm saying is our team is doing so well. lets get behind them. GO AFRIDI! :)

[MIG]

Shame on Pak mgmt for putting Razzaq in that situation where someone like Afridi would have excelled -

Here he goes...... 15 in Hinds over !

[kash1979]

please ne one ....can u send across the link to this match

[sajjad]

i agree with 'appeal'
let the coach n captain decide who to send n who not too
they know best

Afridi ke chikay dekho ab

SON OF A GUN!!!!!!!

hahahahahahaha

[Sage]

SIX!!!!!

[Civil]

SIX MORE

Family is going crazy in the basement!!!

[sajjad]

what the what the
what the

what a shot

what selfless play from youhana! this is a team we can all be proud of guys!!!!!!

[sajjad]

ahaa

islam aur pakistan ke naaray
waah bhaee waah

[Naveed]

Afridi bowled, too bad that's going to cost us runs

great innings from afridi. gets us in reach of 300!!!!!

[Civil]

Cmon Malik and Yoyo
we need 300

[MIG]

Well played Afridi , again but Pak would have been better off with Razzaq coming in now - what a waste for Razzaq !

[exuberance]

the one legged six...man afridi is just getting better and better..I hope keeps that up..just too exciting.

[sajjad]

ooohhooo
well played 23 from 10

Malik can hit a few
nebody remember that innings agst SA

but what im looking for is us crossing 300 (preferably 310-320)
and Youhana getting 100.

[Sage]

Well done Afridi...23 quick runs

[Naveed]

The slow ball is a great tool at the death. Pakistan should learn from this.

[Sage]

Well done Yoyo!!!!!!!!

[MIG]

can people post the latest score as soon as its updated - cricinfo is a little slow ...

[Sage]

290-6

[DM]

:-~

great going Pakistan! Good century by Youhana
Anyone see that one-legged flick SIX by Afridi, so much power

It's no doubt a good total but i wonder if it will be enough considering Windies' batting and our bowling....

[sajjad]

cmon now 8 more runs an we cross that mental target of 6 an over

[Civil]

6/296

This match is a comedy of errors

[Sage]

300-6
49.2

[MIG]

Khalil will play an important role today ...

Pak have missed a big trick here - they have messed Afridi and positions for Razzaq and Malik - total waste

But credit to Afridi and Yoyo

[Sage]

Third umpire for Yoyo runout

[Sage]

Youo out

[exuberance]

well played Youhana..

[Sage]

[Team Slayer]

yah thanks for the updates! cricinfo has crashed....

what a player this guy Bravo is. awsome bowling and superb fielding! but the day has belonged ot Pakistan so far. GO TEAM!!!!!

[sajjad]

waah waah batting
307 might be 309 after a replay on that last ball

but well done pakistan nevertheless!!

[MIG]

Good ol' runouts !! finishing Pak in the end - unfortunately, no Laraesque performance to take us to 340 in the end but we shouldnt complain too much - anyone know the highest ODI target in Perth ?

[Officer Barbrady]

308 to win in 50
I didn't see ur post till now mig
youhana 106 runout off 100 balls well played.

[sajjad]

a lil slip from cricinfo
atleast theyr accepting he got to a landmark

48.2 Bravo to Yousuf Youhana, one run, steps forward to push the ball through the off side and bring up his fifty

[sajjad]

what a start by Pakistan

YESS!!!

[Sage]

[Sage]

Keep your comments in the other thread, IPOD boy

[sajjad]

its not just for scores, a little bit of commentary is fine

we all know the score,
whats the point of posting scores over n over...lol

[tahaqureshi]

too many runs all of a sudden

[Officer Barbrady]

Excellent over by Rana jee. Bowling at 90 miles an hour at the moment.

[exuberance]

Rana bowls a great over...
we need Sarwan's wicket...
i just feel theres going to be a catch flying towards slips sooon..

[Sage]

Is the site slowing down for anyone else?

[Officer Barbrady]

This site or cricinfo? This is fine right now..

[Bailan]

Rana tends to hit the 90 mark .... how come he is still a Right Hand Medium ????

[Sage]

PP is going slow for me...hmm

[Raz]

Hey guys just come back from work and prayed Fajr. Good to see Pakistan doing well. Whats the score? Cricinfo arent updating for some reason

[Sage]

49-1
9 overs

[Officer Barbrady]

1/49 after 9 overs. Rana bowling very well.

[Sage]

58-1
10 overs

[Officer Barbrady]

Sarwan is in very good touch we need his wicket.

[Bailan]

Rana lacking support ...

plus i duno if its a bright idea to waste Khalil against RHB ....

let Rao have another go ...

[Raz]

Sarwan on fire and for once its not Ricardo pulling out the big shots.......... YET!!!!!!!!!!

[Sage]

POWELL GONE!!!!!

[Sage]

67-2

Powell
c Kamran b Rana

[Sage]

The great Brian Lara in

[Bailan]

The Great Brian Lara shall face our Great Brian Mohammed Khalil in the next over.

hahahahah :D

[Raz]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo Powell gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why or why did that have to happen?!?!

[Sage]

Lambs to slaughter

Please get him Rana :(

[Sage]

69-2
12 overs

[Officer Barbrady]

Lara is also looking in good touch. If there two stick around they can run away with the match. We will need to take whatever half chances we get.

[exuberance]

tense part of the match..

[Officer Barbrady]

Bring on Afridi, we need a change of pace here.

[Sage]

Sarwan 50
92-2

[Sage]

99-2
15 overs

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

lara out - KHALIL STRIKES
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[pakistani pride]

Only Rana bowling well here !!!!

Feel sorry for him as there is no support!!!!!

[Bailan]

with Rao and Khalil as two ppl to bowl 20 overs ... it rather seems hard at this stage if we can contain WI

[Sage]

LARA OUT
99-3

LARA GONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

KHALILLLLL

[exuberance]

YES YES YES!!! Lara gone

[Bailan]

GONE !!

Good for Khalil

[Bailan]

Nature gets back at me ....

Rao and Khalil take Lara's wicket ... right after I say they are both useless ...

I hope Nature continues its good work

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

WOULD love 1 more wicket to get to inexperienced players like bravo and hinds aint great either - afridi has to be brought on

[pakistani pride]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Finally !!!!

why is he bowling so many short balls?

[Nawazb]

afridi should be bought on at one end to add some variety

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

sarwan is brilliant at the cut - but never really been tested against short stuff - chanderpaul though is a goo dplayer of the pull - must pitch it up

[Sage]

102-3
17 overs

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

dropped short - damn it - slips a little far back

[exuberance]

isnt Khalil generating a lot more pace today??

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

should have been run out - hafeez missed throw by a mile!!!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

he is bowling at 137 kmph

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

we have to restrict them at the same time - push requires rate up to and above 7

[Sage]

111-3
19 overs

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

damn it - 4 more - square drive for 4 - IN THE AIR - CLOSE TO BEING CAUGHT

[Sage]

122-3
20 overs

[exuberance]

need Sarwans wicket..
he seems to be set for the long haul..

The Afridi is gonna come on soon..!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

bloody edge - good ball by rao - edged for 4 by chanderpaul - we need some luck

[sajjad]

how long will rao's bad luck continue

he has to get lucky sometime

[Sage]

135-3
22 overs

[exuberance]

we're missing a sixth bowler here..
Inzi should try out Salman Butt instead of Rao...
batsmen would go after him and they might make a mistake..

[Sage]

I agree with bringing Salman in

[exuberance]

there still going at 6 an over..

Rao has been hit for 39 in 4 overs..

cmon Inzi..think think!

[sajjad]

Afridi gave only 3 runs away 1st over
he shud maintain and rao's luck must change

[Sage]

Salman drops an easy one off Sarwan

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

bloody salman butt drops sarwan - was a sitter off afridi

[exuberance]

half the overs gone..half the runs made..
and Salman just turned himself into a villain..
what a dolly!

[sajjad]

man he did that in the last match also

catches win matches and we dont seem to be catching many nowadays

[Sage]

Get a wicket Salman, you clumsy fool

[badxhah]

that was crucial .. uffffffffffffffffff ... salman butt has gone frm hero to zero frm tests to ODI

Only having 5 bowlers is costing Pakistan dear, who is Inzy going to turn to...

[exuberance]

poor boy is pretty low in confidence these days..

[MIG]

Salman making himself a name for dropping catches - I thought young players do well but Salman is proving me wrong !

Pak is running out of options again - we just need 1 or 2 more miracles here....

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

salman smacked for a big 6

[Sage]

6 by Sarwan off Butt

[badxhah]

Butt is really Low on cofidence ... wid bat and in da feild ,,, WI on the road to victory

[exuberance]

The Afridi is a miracle...
cmon freeedeee

[exuberance]

ok..u can take him off now..

like he said..what a costly miss that could prove to be..

[Sage]

Rana and Afridi are all we got bowling wise
Lets keep Salman on for one or two more

[Sage]

163-3
27 overs
