[Raz]

MIG how come my sportingstreams thread was deleted?

[sajjad]

welcome mig.

do something man, we need a miracle to win this one

[Hydro]

so tendulkar will bowl his shoddy negative line

[Hash]

we need a batting performance like Karachi last year

[sajjad]

why dont our bowlers try the negative line on leg stump

[Hydro]

yeh i remmeber

inzi rak 2 where now he would say no

[MIG]

MIG how come my sportingstreams thread was deleted?

Yaar Raz Bhai - we dont allow any references to any live media streams on this board. I know your question was an innoncent one but best to ask in this thread.

Thanks

[Raz]

we need a batting performance like Karachi last year

Yeah but this time we need to win instead of just falling short!

[badxhah]

India should own us money ... for yrs and yrs they were looking for wicket/keeper batsman ... WE GAVE THEM 2 KARTICK AND NOW DHONI ,,,,

[sajjad]

the last ball stayng very low and didnt carry to the wk.

wicket changing nmore and more...

[Gasherbrum]

we need shabbir.

[nafajafam]

salaam guys sorry for posting this here. how come sportingstreams is not working?

[Hash]

'salaam guys'

W/S

'sorry for posting this here'

no worries bro


'how come sportingstreams is not working?'

absolutely no idea. Don't even know what sportingstreams is.

[Hydro]

thewill 332

[azcali78]

Our great captain is still resting in stand. I cant belive this, what kind of leadership this is?

[Raz]

Ok MIG no probs. Its just so frustrating not being able to watch the match even after paying for it!

[octavian]

salaam guys sorry for posting this here. how come sportingstreams is not working?

yaar their servers are down. been down for more than a week now. its a useless site i tell ya

[Gasherbrum]

dhoni nay dho dala

[Amjid Javed]

expect are openers to throw their wickets away as per usual as pressure gets to much in run chase!

[Raz]

Its been on and off. Sometimes it bes up and sometimes its down!

[Gasherbrum]

stumping missed by akmal off afridi. dhoni gets another life

[161]

i will respect this forums rules and not discuss "SS" openly - but I would like to add that private messages should be allowed on this forum for situations like this.

[Hash]

kamran!!!!

come on! sort it out

[azcali78]

What the @#$#@. Inzy stay out, the worst captain ever.....

[Hydro]

dhoni nailing afridi

[Nauman]

If it wasnt going to get worse Akmal has missed a stumping and followed by a six of the next ball this is getting pitifull, I am starting to feel sorry for Pakistani cricket team, the way Dhoni is going it looks like he is going to break Anwar's world record.

[Gasherbrum]

missed stumping ain't captains fault. keeping afridi on is. he's been crap all day

[azcali78]

Afridi is at his worst today. He needs to make up all these runs he gave away

[Raz]

Shahid getting pumelled!

[161]

kamran has been a very very poor wicket keeper most of this series

[Hydro]

afridi bowling a joke

take him off

[161]

dhoni could break syed anwars record today

[Hydro]

if they bowling juicy half volleys yes

[Hydro]

overthrows

a poor effort by pak

[Gasherbrum]

syed anwar? thats a first.

wow, nothing to lose batting from dhoni. all out slaughter.

[Hash]

oh great. Hafeez is bowling.

[w4s1m786]

i think a score of 365 we may have to chase today loks impossible

[azcali78]

Thanks Allah Meain. Saeed record is still safe. Dhoni gone

[Hydro]

mo hafeez gets donhi

[Raz]

Inshallah Shahid can match or better it later on.

[Imy]

Wh0 the hell is running the show, why Arshad , why hafeez, why akmal there will be no nicks on these flat bed pitches. Why arent our bowlers bowling short

[Gasherbrum]

what an innings. dhoni has been a treat to watch. really shut the bowlers up today, what with rana and afridi mouthing off at him at the start of his innings.

should get much more respect now.

[badxhah]

Inshallah Shahid can match or better it later on.

it cant get any worse for him

[Hydro]

personally if less than 330 thats something

[Raz]

Dhoni goes now. Anything below 340 is chasable on this track i think.

[badxhah]

380 now

[Hydro]

300 up 8 overs 2 ago any guesses

[w4s1m786]

365

[Hash]

great over Hafeez

give away 12 runs. Just what we need right now.

[Gasherbrum]

game is in the bag for india, pakistan batsmen will be playing to maintain their spots in the team, specially malik.

[Hydro]

dravid gone now we need quick wickets

[Raz]

Dravid goes!

[octavian]

guys wats the score

[Gasherbrum]

gone again, well done rana! kaif wiped out
here comes the tail...

[Nauman]

Dravid out now, I belive we can chase anything around 340 if we dont collapse under pressure and Inzi and Youhanna keep their nerves which is saying alot, Dravid just got out pulling. Remember guys it aint over untill the fat lady sings and Inzi is quite.

[Hydro]

300/5

[badxhah]

their Tail is more dangeorus than kaif

[octavian]

Raz.. the frickin sportinstreams workin for you ?

[Hash]

301 for 6 now

we get them for 330 we CAN still do this......provided we get off to a good start and one of Inzi or Yoyo stays until the end

[Hydro]

kaif gone golden

[Raz]

Kaif goes now. Come on Pakistan! Bowl em out!

[badxhah]

could some1 plz post afrid figurs here

[Hydro]

could some1 plz post afrid figurs here9over 82 runs Afridi

[Hash]

badxhah- 8/0/756/0 (might as well be)

[Shohair]

Shahid Afridi

9 overs, 82 runs, no wickets

[Nauman]

Kaif gone too, plumb in front to Rana, this might not even be as bad as it looks, I strongly belive that we can restrict them to 330 now, just need to hold our nerves and not panick in the last 5 overs or so.

[badxhah]

The over confident of test series got to him.Dont start bashing him ... it happens to the best .

[Raz]

Raz.. the frickin sportinstreams workin for you ?

No it isnt fricking working! It has really p$$d me off. I have just come back from work doing a night shift and hoped to watch some cricket. But alas it isnt to be!!!!!! And i might miss a terrific chase!

[octavian]

[w4s1m786]

[azcali78]

Mod Edit:Is that as eloquent as you can be??? Quit on the players insults

[azcali78]

yeah why have him in the team and dont bowl at all...

[badxhah]

india should declare now and have a crack at pakistani batsman bef4 lunch

[Hash]

actually Sami has been one of our best bowlers throughout this tour so I will beg to differ azcali

[Hydro]

kaineria should be in

watch tendu bowls he shhit line

[Raz]

same here man, i took a cab from work just to watch the game and the site isnt working. pissing me off. wish i could get a hold of the webmaster somehow.

Me 2!

[w4s1m786]

kaineria should be in

watch tendu bowls he shhit line

pak should of done the same

[Hydro]

sami still hasnt got his 100 wkt ts been like 10 matches

[Hash]

arshad bowling wides.

yes.......v intelligent arshad. Thats just waht we need

[Raz]

arshad bowling wides.

yes.......v intelligent arshad. Thats just waht we need

X)

[Hydro]

arsahd kahn starts of with a wide

wat a clown

[Gasherbrum]

thank you very much mr singh, you were plumb. well done arshad.

[w4s1m786]

indian are very slow in the last 10 over but hell are they quick in first 40 overs

[nafajafam]

yuvraj OUT

[Hash]

arshad gets yuvraj!

318/7

we can do this. Not impossible at all.

[Hydro]

arshad gets yuvi

[badxhah]

By the Time this series will End all indian batsman will have THIER BESTs against PAkistan

[Gasherbrum]

very good comeback this. damage done early though.

[Raz]

indian are very slow in the last 10 over but hell are they quick in first 40 overs

And we are the opposite!

[Hydro]

samis best chane of getting his 100 wkt

[badxhah]

I think Pakistan in the next match will have to get a new combo of batting and bowling.

[sajjad]

yeah...in my mind even 270-280 wud have been high enuf...this is almost unachieveable unless Afridi does a dhoni here

[Hash]

it is all a matter of getting sehwag early! You get sehwag early and India are SCREWED


Unfortunately we didn't get him early. Still.......330 is chasable.

[Hydro]

personally we should have raq or nazir in

[161]

bit too late - bhindia will get btwn 330 - 350 - far too much for us as we will fall to the bowling of tendu again

[w4s1m786]

rao would have got a whooping today if had played he is nothig more a lolli pop bowler

[azcali78]

I dont think afridi has the commitment left. He didnt even try for the catch.

[sajjad]

india batting pakistan out of this one.

theyve played a very good ODI series so far and have been lucky with the tosses too.

[Shohair]

323/7 after 47.

[Hydro]

323 -7 3 overs left

[badxhah]

The way shewag bats nowadays anyone would be a lollipop bowler except wasim waqar imran ..hmmmm marshal ambros walsh ,,,,, garner ,,,,,,,,

[Gasherbrum]

bowled!
arshad in the wickets again.

[sajjad]

325 - 8 as Bhajji is bowled

[Hydro]

325 fer 8 arshad gets his 2

[Hash]

well actually any fielding side that takes the catches.

today was the first time we didn't drop him in like 6 years or somethign

[Imy]

what thehell are our players grinning about, they should be embarassed

[Hussain]

Yuvraj gone but India look set for a 340 here

[badxhah]

MAN ARSHAD WAS HAPPY GETTING THAT WICKET ;;; AS IF HE WON THE WC.

[w4s1m786]

i dont want ppl to say arshad is our new saqi in odis

[sajjad]

arshad gets his 50th ODI wkt

[Hash]

325 for 8

[gfx]

They scored 2 high guys. It will be a real strech for us to compete at this stage. I am not sure if our batsmen will be able to hold their nerves.

[Hydro]

its very disapointing

[Raz]

Bhajji bowled!!!!! Yeah!

[nafajafam]

Yuvraj gone but India look set for a 340 here

true, but its better than 380 which was looking possible sometime ago.

[gfx]

Its unfortunate. I would have fealt a lot better had they chosen another decent line and length pacer like Rao instead of the additional spinner. That would have really dried up the run rate in the middle overs.

[sajjad]

WHAT A SIX BY ZAHEER KHAN


PROBABLY THE BIGGEST OF THE DAY...WHAT A SHOT.. ARSHAD SPANKED

[Hydro]

arshad a joke

[badxhah]

INDIA SHUD DECLARE NOW

[gfx]

It doesnt seem like Arshad has very much variation.

[Hydro]

has that ever happend in an odi

[nafajafam]

this maybe arshad's last series ever. maybe sami too.

[Hash]

arshad.........its all v well getting a couple of wickets mate but at this stage you really need to make sure yo don't go for 12 runs per over

[Hydro]

well 350 on

[badxhah]

THIS MATCH IS TURNING OUT TO BE A "R' RATED MOVIE

SO MUCH SPANKING

[Nauman]

PROBABLY THE BIGGEST OF THE DAY...WHAT A SHOT

Wait till Afridi comes out to the center this six will probably look like a chip over mid on :p anyways it was a gamble to put Arshad Khan to bowl in the death and it has paid of to some extent as Harbhajan can be very unforgiving to the quick bowlers.

[azcali78]

I think sami should be droped. he dosnt have what it takes at this level. I know we dont have much choice as soon as we have he should be in the team. very disappointing.

[sajjad]

the tailenders spankins the attack..lotsa hitting

[Raz]

Now Sami getting hammered!

[Gasherbrum]

crappy ovver from sami. 2 tail enders batting, no yorkers.

[Hydro]

arhad bowling last over prepare for 360 nor 350

[sajjad]

THIS MATCH IS TURNING OUT TO BE A "R' RATED MOVIE

SO MUCH SPANKING

hahahaa :)))

[Imy]

I cant believe shaid nazir and danesh and rao are worse than sami, hafeez and arshad

[gfx]

Pathetic bowling by Sami. Supposed spearhead gets embarassed while Razzaq bowls tight

[badxhah]

ARSHAD SHUD HAVE BECOME A FAST BOWLER BECUZ OF HIS HIEGHT ...

[Hydro]

hafeez bowlign al;st over

some one tell them he isnt saqi

[gfx]

hafeez bowlign al;st over

some one tell them he isnt saqi

:)) :))
how true is that

[sajjad]

350-360 way tii much

a wkt falls....
nope he dropped it

the next one out of the ground for a six

[DM]

Is it me or Afridi bowling sucks in last game and this one as well.
It's just you, Afridi had one of our best economy rates in the last match.

[azcali78]

offical it is over for pakistan.....

[sajjad]

this time its caught.....zaheer goes

[Hydro]

well done pak u deserve a round of applause for being soo poor

[sajjad]

357 to win....well not quite a match anymore.

[Hydro]

357 to win

well done pak

[Imy]

CAn we please talk about inzi captaincy he just gave up about 15 9vers ago, we did not even bowl defensive from around the wicket

[Hydro]

well unless afridi wants to get 150

no chance

[Raz]

You never no guys. For it to happen Shahid needs to open and stay there for at least 15 overs. Take full advantage of the fielding restrictions.

[Nauman]

357 to win....well not quite a match anymore.

You never know remember Karachi 2004 and dont give up, quite honestly we should have won that match if it werent for Moin Khan who made a mess of the last over. Anyways lets see how Afridi goes he is bound to open the innings if he doesnt then Woolmer should be given a good slap across his face.

[Hydro]

bro our abtting line pu is soo unpredictable

its not out of the question

but there were fielding restrictiosnlast time

[Gasherbrum]

well well well. what a display by dhoni and veeru. rana did really well for pakistan. strange how most indian batsmen failed, yet they still managed over 350. all credit goes to that brilliant start that was maintained so well by dhoni. just didn't take any pressure at all, went after almost everything. positive thinking all the way.

[Romali_rotti]

Man I just woke up, just saw the scorecard, Dhonni wow Told you guys he was an ace... But seriosly I didnt expect the score to be like this!! I am still in a state of shock man the way the pakistani bowlers are being hit.

[Raz]

357 to win....well not quite a match anymore.

More than a slap id say!

this aint karachi and its a totally diff wkt. itll be hard to score when the ball goes soft

[sajjad]

they just played really well on a batsmens wicket and well pakistans bowling isnt the best anymore

[Hydro]

i believ u rmemebr PAK A innings vs ind last yr we need to go after them liek remember

nazir went after them ot his 50 shot there confidence to pieces

then tuafeeq benefitted as well others

[sajjad]

that was an awesome batting display in lahore...but this aint lahore...u gotta remember that.

we can still win but its highly improbable

[alghazzali]

It wud b the highest total chased EVER!! We r no way capable of that, this side is gud at giving records away, just like Indias Highest score vs Pakistan EVER!!

[Solid Snake]

INSHALLAH, anything is possible!

[Raz]

i believ you rmemebr PAK A innings vs ind last yr we need to go after them liek remember

nazir went after them ot his 50 shot there confidence to pieces

then tuafeeq benefitted as well others

We need Shahid to do something similar today. Like he did in the Test matches, batter their confidence!

[Kashif]

So what on earth happened today? I dreaded the worst when Inzi lost the toss again. The wicket is brilliant for batting and the ground is small-ish. Even their tailenders smacked the ball around at the end with ease.

Unfortunately Pakistan will now have to beat this score with the added pressure of chasing.

[alghazzali]

We scored 371 in Nairobi and guess who scored who was there? Afridi and Anwar-this is the time 4 Butt 2 bcom Anwar. Indians attack on this wicket shud b as bad as the Sri Lankans(lets hope)

[Hydro]

personally wtahc tensulker use his head bowl that shoddy line

[Shayan]

If Afridi starts playing well, Ganguly will just bring on Tendulkar round the wicket, and that'll be it. We need to figure out some away of attacking Tendulkar otherwise his 10 will only go for about 50 runs whereas we really need to capitalize on their 5th bowler.

[Hydro]

why dont we remember ijaz & afridi innings at lahore

220 odd in 28 overs

use there theory

[Shayan]

Clearly Afridi is the key for us, without him we'll really struggle to get this score. But i'm just weary of Tendulkar's bowling around the wicket, our batsmen don't know how to score off him.

[alghazzali]

They might have done sum homework, neways was there any chances from Sehwag or Dhoni, cos they shud get more respect had there not been

[Shayan]

Sehwag - NO, we took the first chance he gave.

Dhoni - when he was past 100, Akmal missed a straightforward stumping. There was also a catch missed by Rana in the deep.

[MIG]

Lets live with the following:

1. These are good batting conditions
2. Dhoni played a magnificant knock
3. Eden Gardens, Silver Jubilee - anyone remember that run chase and how the same idiots on TV gave us no chance ?

[sajjad]

eden gardens...man what a match that was.


cmon pakistan show them some pakistani power

[alghazzali]

Sehwag has been lucky in the past, but wot an innings!!! I think hes 1 of the gr8est batsmen 2 have played the game. Bradmans strike r8 was never this gud.

[Shayan]

Yeah but that in that game we were chasing 290 odd, big psychological difference when scores over 350.

[adi 101]

we shall win!!!!!!!!!!

[sajjad]

Sehwag has been lucky in the past, but wot an innings!!! I think hes 1 of the gr8est batsmen 2 have played the game. Bradmans strike r8 was never this gud.

cant compare...cause cricket is a lot diff now..much more batsmen frieldly..but yeah Sehwag is a class act.

[Raz]

we shall win!!!!!!!!!!

Inshallah! Dua karo!

[Imy]

we got embarassed today and yet we were still grinning in the field pathetic

[MIG]

we got embarassed today and yet we were still grinning in the field pathetic

If u look serious then they say our body language is bad - if you grin, Imy says its pathetic...

Lets watch our innings now and see who has the last laugh.

I think the rules even out, apart from the decline of bowlers(which is a major factor) they were allowed 2 pad up 2 alot of deliveries in them days aswell as unsuccessful run-outs(no TV umpires).

[MIG]
