Pakistan vs Scotland, Warm Up ODI [26/6/06]

[sam]

Cricinfo says:

A fair point being made by a colleague that Scotland will probably give Pakistan more of a contest that the current shambles that is the England ODI side.

[sehban]

malik out

[Pathan007]

noooooooooo

[Saqib]

Good length delivery to Malik he just hit it to mid off just like agaisnt England 2 times before. If he had timed it could have been a boundry orso. Mohammed Yousuf comes in.

[ShowStopper]

out!

malik Gone!

Potential 150 ha:)):)):))

[Rana]

Mannnn!!!!

send Afridi in !!

[KA$H]

Well im not advocating Farhat throwing his wicket away but i would rather take a batsman who can make 60-70 regularly than someone who cant.

is that his domestic form that you're quoting?

[Saqib]

Mannnn!!!!

send Afridi in for f*** sake!!!

150 :10:

i was abt to post that :))

[akpower]

relax guyz its just warm up game

[Rana]

shoaib malik cud have got a 150 if we had batted first!!

but wat the hell is this, afridi shud have opened!!!

[Uzzy]

is that his domestic form that you're quoting?

If you mean Farhat then no, i'm talking about his intl performances recently.

[sam]

Commies talking of Afridi! :D

[sehban]

39/2 9 overs

[KA$H]

if you look on statguru there isnt much difference between Butt and farhat's performance in the test or ODI arena - both have decent stats actually

[sam]

Cricinfo realizes:

We apologise for the problems with score updates. We are attempting to rectify.

[sam]

if you look on statguru there isnt much difference between Butt and farhat's performance in the test or ODI arena - both have decent stats actually

Recently, Farhat has been doing better both in tests and ODIs. Overall, they have pretty much the same stats.

[Rana]

pls inzi man send afridi in next!

the only reason im listening to this is because of afridi!

[Uzzy]

66666666

[Rana]

666666666

[Uzzy]

I'm talking about recent performances.

[HAFRIDI]

just got up...

Aey kyaa baat hai, Afridi already of to a flyer, takes the wicket of watson- most expensive wicket ; )

[sam]

Anybody know the exact score?

The commies mention everything but the score...

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 48/2 (12.0 ov)

[Rana]

444444

[sam]

somebody injured. Hope it ain't somebody from Pak.

[sehban]

52/2 12.2

[Rana]

this is boring man, without no afridi, im going to have a shower!

[HAFRIDI]

dropped?

[HAFRIDI]

55/2 13 ov

[sam]

Wasn't dropped. Apparently a bump ball.

[sehban]

55/2 13

[ShowStopper]

this is boring man, without no afridi, im going to have a shower!

Shower because the match is boring.

[KA$H]

well if we're talkin recently it only takes 1 performance to turn things around. i still doint think there's there's a gulf between either Butt or Farhat

farhat defo appears to ride his luck more - but then u make your own luck

[sam]

this is boring man, without no afridi, im going to have a shower!


Without no Afridi effectively means with Afridi... :)))

[sam]

well if we're talkin recently it only takes 1 performance to turn things around. i still doint think there's there's a gulf between either Butt or Farhat

farhat defo appears to ride his luck more - but then u make your own luck

Yeah it takes 1 performance to turn things around but why would you drop a player scoring consistently hoping that another will come up with that 1 performance?

Isn't it better to go on with the one scoring rather than dropping him and hoping for another to start scoring? Does no favoure to either's confidence.

[MecnunK]

Is it televised?

[sam]

59/2 in 15 overs...

[ShowStopper]

well if we're talkin recently it only takes 1 performance to turn things around. i still doint think there's there's a gulf between either Butt or Farhat

farhat defo appears to ride his luck more - but then u make your own luck

O well guys forget this, its Pak opening crises it will never be solved.

[HAFRIDI]

They should have gone with Farhat and Malik!! i hope they only did this to get Butt in form/or see if he is in form..Farhat is the man to go for with Malik!

[Rana]

MoYo struck in the balls!!

[sam]

Is it televised?

No.

Commies now talking of everything but the game that they supposed to commentate on... :)))

[KA$H]

strike to the Jewels

[ShowStopper]

Hey guys what are you doing here update the score.

[HAFRIDI]

'4 runs, what a magnificent shot'

[Rana]

444444

[HAFRIDI]

I wanna shoot that pak in that comm box

[Pathan007]

goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[sam]

Msg for youngsters:

' Cricket is a great game to watch and err to play against Intl opposition.'

Whatever that is supposed to mean... :)))

OUT, caught. Yousuf Khan is out. Wonder who?

[sam]

Inzi in now.

[Rana]

yousuff gone and the commentators are mixing inzi with afridi lol

[Pathan007]

yea, commentary is pathetic

[HAFRIDI]

I wanna shoot that pak in that comm box

When he leaves, a wicket goes down, whats wrong with the dude :12:

:97: :97:

[Rana]

come on yk, go out so afridi can come in to finish the game!

[sam]

I think YK is already out. Moyo and Inzi batting according to Cricinfo.

The commies don't bother to say anything related to the game. :)))

[Rana]

great ball from hoffman

[Rana]

oh my days, a scotland bowler finished with figuers of 3-22!

[deviously~fading~away]

cmon hoffman, strike MoYo's balls so he cab retire hurt for afridi to come to the crease!

I hope Afridi doesn't get out early today :P

[HAFRIDI]

Afridi will get out first ball

[HAFRIDI]

Caught behind

[nadeem]

21.5 Lyons to Mohammad Yousuf, 1 run, well I never … Inzamam called for a quick single and made it with something to spare. The fielders sneak accusing looks at each other as if that is something that should never happen. In fairness to Inzamam, he looks in good shape

:))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

[sam]

OUT...

Rana, your prayers have been heard.

[HAFRIDI]

AFRIDI IS HERE!!!!!


..will get out first ball :D

[HAFRIDI]

21.5 Lyons to Mohammad Yousuf, 1 run, well I never … Inzamam called for a quick single and made it with something to spare. The fielders sneak accusing looks at each other as if that is something that should never happen. In fairness to Inzamam, he looks in good shape

:91::91::91::91::91:

[ShowStopper]

Lyons to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, the pressure eased with a savage pull of a ball that was far too short to get Afridi off the mark

[Pakistani tigers]

take this seriously yaaross...afridi is not as important as a face saving win...as someone else wrote on this forum, cricket is about the only sport that we play well.

I really wish we could spend more money on developing our nation in other sports and science rather than spending it on our military! a nation of 140 million needs to be better in more sports than just cricket.

p.s. i do want afridi to hit a 30 ball 80 though

[HAFRIDI]

[KA$H]

[Pakistani tigers]

[cavin420]

:20: :20:

[Oxy]

Great - the rest of us can now join in this thread :)

[sehban]

pak 93/5 25 overs

[KaSaNoVa_G]

He seems to be in poor form with the bat.. even for Ireland he didnt play all that at al !!

[HAFRIDI]

'A Team with all these great players, theyre always playing, travelling around, always fit and WE are giving them a game'

[HAFRIDI]

what ? what ? ?


:20: :20:

Yes kick him out on the basis of one warm up, im with Nauman wherever he is!

[sam]

Really? when?

:)))

Its ok, Haf! There is always a next game. ;)

[HAFRIDI]

4 runs..to who? i have no idea

[sam]

Moyo hits a 4.

[cornered paktiger]

relax guyz its just warm up game


it is actually an official ODI

[sam]

Moyo hits another 4.

[Bangla Tiger]

scotland can be a hell of a side at home...they beat us in an unofficial ODI in 2004 to draw the series 1-1...and of course WC 99 we were 24-5 batting first.

[ShowStopper]

Pakistan 109/5 (29.0 ov

[inzibhai]

who is this idiot doing commen on cricinfo?

he seems to find probs with everything a **** player does...what a moron...

his latest comments

27.6 Lyons to Abdul Razzaq, no run, cross-batted swish which was just what the situation didn’t demand. The 12th man immediately trots on with a selection of replacements as if the shot was the bat’s fault rather than the man holding it

he also had some issues with when moyo got hit ....get a life man..

[sam]

He isn't wrong with what he says, Inzibhai.

It was Razzaq's fault than his bat. :)))

[sehban]

whats the score?

[F16]

With MoYo and Razzak at the Crease Pak will definitely win this match but they could have done much better than this .

[veez]

who was that desi commentator?

[KA$H]

easy inzibhai - the cricinfo comms guy's a comedian

[sam]

112/5 in 30 overs.

[sam]

Misfield goes for 4.

Scotland paying back with the same coin. Hopefully it continues this way. :D

If only they could drop/ misfield Afridi's hit too... :P

[sehban]

128/5 33 overs

[sehban]

hope pak wins becuz if we lose i think so we will lose the no.3 spot

[inzibhai]

dont worry guys....have some confidence in DK...he is yet to come ....he will take us home ..

[Uzzy]

444444444444. 50 to Moyo!

[KA$H]

some sensible cricket from these 2 - exactly whats required

[Uzzy]

44444444444

[MIG]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

[Uzzy]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

Hate to say it but more often than not we end up losing the match :P

[KA$H]

Why play sensible when we can live on the edge?

i see what you're sayin - this way every1 gets a bit of battin practice yea?

[sam]

54 runs to win.

[sam]

Consecutive 4s by Moyo.

[sehban]

pak 154/5

[GQ]

No matter how much you criticize Razzaq, at times when you need him to play sensibly, regardless of personal achievements, he delivers. His bowling has suffered dramatically, yet he provides those crucial breakthroughs and although his batting style has changed a bit, he's still capable to hit the ball hard or block it to play safe.

His bowling nearly lost the game and now his batting is nearly winning the game. Massive contribution and from both sides. :D

[sehban]

these commentators dont tell the score at all
only talk about scotland cricket

[HAFRIDI]

Sixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[shan]

well SIX and a Four from razaq!

[HAFRIDI]

for RAZZLER!!!

[Uzzy]

[Uzzy]

Razzler has two gears. Defend and then attack!

[inzibhai]

[HAFRIDI]

Another 4..to moyo..one bounce in to the ropes!

[HAFRIDI]

80 not out Moyo

[GQ]

This is how dangerous he can be ....

[Schiller]

baby butt does it again

[GQ]

Well played Yousuf!

[zaf1986]

Good to see Razzaq in big hitting form...

[Uzzy]

6666666666666

[HAFRIDI]

666666 Razzlerrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

[HAFRIDI]

'Mighty blow, what a shot, what a shot, this man can win the match on his own, 3 to win'

[Uzzy]

4444444444. And Pakistan win

[HAFRIDI]

ANOTHER BIGGY!!!!! oooo 4 into crowd

WE WIN!!

[sam]

Razzaq - WOW! :D

[ZM]

pitch invasion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big pakistani support in scotland :D

[Uzzy]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

[HAFRIDI]

pitch invasion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big pakistani support in scotland :D

We are everywhere, son :D

[Easa]

Well played, Pakistan/

[HAFRIDI]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

Yeah and what an article it was:19:

[Raz]

I think Raz wrote an article on a finisher for Pakistan and he mentioned Razzaq, boy was he right!

More specifically I mentioned the requirement for Razzaq to contribute more during chases as a match finisher and today he did just that. :D

[Hash]

Well a comfortable victory in the end......not quite as comfortable as I would have liked but the important thing is more batsman have got time in the middle.

The seemed to be a bit of experimentation with the line up and that is good; if we can't experiment against Scotland then when the hell can we experiment?

As always, we will get better and better as the series progresses. Congratulations to Pakistan and sorry Scotland, but you just aint good enough.

[Uzzy]

And with that Moyo is the MOTM!

Funny statement by the comms. They reckon the England bowlers wont perform aswell as Hoffmann against Pakistan.

[Easa]

Congratulations to Paksitan. We could have beaten them even more then we already have, but this was our first match on tour, and a good enough beginning. Good to see Mohammad Yousaf and Abdul Razzaq play well.

We can always get better from here.

[MIG]

Piece de la cake-o Gents....

Moyo Interview if anyone missed it!!

[Rob H]

Lookd like the Scots gave y'all a good run for your money. Pity Dougie and Pooney werent there to beef up the Scottish batting line up.

[Uzzy]

Though I'm still disappointed in Salman Butt. He looked exactly the same as he did against India in the ODI series and stuggled to make it past 1. I'm hoping he is not included in the test squad.

[Hash]

Congratulations to Paksitan. We could have beaten them even more then we already have, but this was our first match on tour, and a good enough beginning. Good to see Mohammad Yousaf and Abdul Razzaq play well.

Exactly easa. Scotland have been playing cricket for a while....it is mid season for them pretty much. Our first game of the season with no match practice for months. We will get better.

[zaf1986]

Razzaq for MoM? :P

[cavin420]

cheers haf!

[Rob H]

pitch invasion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
big pakistani support in scotland :D
proud to be yobs......

Things never cease to amaze.

[Hash]

proud to be yobs......

Things never cease to amaze.

You can be proud of it or you can pretend it never happened and not give it any coverage at all like the English do (after the ashes at the Oval. And before you say anything I was there and saw it all with my own eyes)

[Raz]

proud to be yobs......

Things never cease to amaze.

Be prepared for more!

[Easa]

Though I'm still disappointed in Salman Butt. He looked exactly the same as he did against India in the ODI series and stuggled to make it past 1. I'm hoping he is not included in the test squad.

He's in the test squad. I thought it was a rather strange decision to go with Butt ahead of Farhat today considering the latter's recent success.

[Easa]

Exactly easa. Scotland have been playing cricket for a while....it is mid season for them pretty much. Our first game of the season with no match practice for months. We will get better.

You and I are agreeing on alot of things these days. Is something wrong? :P

[cavin420]

You and I are agreeing on alot of things these days. Is something wrong? :P
oiiii, you better watch it easa, you have been warned for the very first and last time, dont mess around with my best mate......if he agree's with you then thats cause he is GREAT...and respect your elder's next time especially Hash! GOT IT ?
