[Raz]

Razzy gone! Naheen Yaar!

[Jonty]

that could possibly be the ball game

[Amjid Javed]

*** razzi gone... boohoo!

[Nawazb]

malik needs a big score today

[Raz]

Malik and Yoyo at the crease now. They need to take us to the end now.

[Khalil]

Malik and YoYo are our last hope

[Nawazb]

dhoni misses a stumping chance

[sajjad]

178/4 after 28

RR 6.36

[Raz]

RRR at 8.14! Its steadily increasing!

[sajjad]

another 6 by youhana

[Nawazb]

666666666666666

yoyo!!!!!!!!!!!

cmmon

[sajjad]

incredible running there

stealing 2 runs

[Nauman]

Both are due for runs so lets hope we can get a good partnership out of both of them, Youhanna did look a bit uncomfortable in the small partnership with Razzaq on contrary Malik was blazing with confidence in Cochin. A partnership of 140+ is required at 8+ an over a tough ask but certainly not impossible.

[Nawazb]

required rate just under 8

[Raz]

Yoyo with a 6 off Bhajji!

[Nawazb]

190/4 off 29
rr 6.55

required rate 7.95

[sajjad]

190/4 after 29

RR 6.55

[Raz]

167 needed from 21 overs.

[MIG]

Good six by Yoyo and then runs off overthrows - cmon Pak keep on going - very much in the game

[Nawazb]

167 from 126 balls - difference of 41


DRINKS

[Raz]

Good six by Yoyo and then runs off overthrows - cmon Pak keep on going - very much in the game

Aye hai oi hoi!

[sajjad]

oh aahaa

[Naz]

Playing for pride now

[Amjid Javed]

Pkn 190-4 29.0 ovs

[Nawazb]

i agree with MIG

[Raz]

Required rate is at 7.95. Still needs to be brought down by quite a bit.

[nafajafam]

167 from 126 balls - difference of 41



seems very much possible when you put it like this.

[Nawazb]

as long as the require rate is kept under 8 - then its all good

[Khalil]

We still have YoYo, Malik, Akmal,Rana and Hafeez.

All capable of scoring runs

We can still do it

[sajjad]

appeal for stumping

very closeeee
veryyy close...

benefit shud go to batsmen

[Amjid Javed]

u shud look 2 double total after 30 over...

so pakistan well on there way!

[Nawazb]

nafajafam - i always like to think of the difference

[sajjad]

and he is safe

phew!!!!

[sajjad]

194/4 after 30

RR 6.47

[nafajafam]

for some odd reason the treatment malik gave to south africa especially to kallis comes to mind. i really hope another one of those can happen.

[Nawazb]

163 from 120

[Raz]

I forgot all about Hafeez and his 6 hitting ability!

[sajjad]

zaheer into the attack

[Khalil]

Malik should just imagine that he is facing the Saffie bowlers

[Nawazb]

z khan back on

[Raz]

Malik can hit the ball well theres no doubt about that.

[nedian21]

20 0vers 162 runs. i wud say plan it properly. try to make 70 runs in these 10 overs and hopefully without losing any wkt. and then 90 odd runs in 10 overs . quite achievable. INSHALLAH

[Nawazb]

these 2 are quick - so inshallah 1's can be converted into 2's

[Raz]

At this stage 2s will do nicely with the odd boundary or 6 shoved in.

[nafajafam]

we need 4-5 very good overs and we will be well in the game.

[Nawazb]

4 by malik

yes 2's and a boundary will be great for us

[sajjad]

203/4 after 31

RR 6.54

[Amjid Javed]

to win the game malik/yoyo need 2 bat till 50th over!

[Raz]

4 to Shoaib. 203-4 after 31.

[Nawazb]

153 from 115 difference of 38 - gradually bring that down

[sajjad]

SHYYYTTTTTTT

SHOAIB OUT

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan can do this... they really can!

[nafajafam]

On 30.5, Youhana while coming back to his crease did not have his bat grounded and there was direct hit, however, no appeal from the Indian fielders!

[sajjad]

trying for a six..slightly mistimed and caught at the boundare...
yaar we needed him till much later

[Raz]

Malik gone!

[Nawazb]

AJ - i noticed one thing every time u say that these two should bat to such and such a wicket falls - thats atleast twice no - thats freaky

[nedian21]

to win the game malik/yoyo need 2 bat till 50th over!

INSHALLAH. Inzi and Salman's wkts will haunt us. thrown away

[nafajafam]

SHYYTT !!!
WHOS NEXT?

[Uzi]

Hafeez the GREAT is in.

[Amjid Javed]

malik gone... am gona shush now! lol!

[Sage]

NO!!!!!

[Amir_rulez]

Not much hopes left now

[Nawazb]

cmmon hafeez

[Raz]

There wasnt the need to slog just yet. They're were doing just fine and Malik throws it away with a careless shot.

[Uzi]

Yes AJ I blame that wicket on you.

[sajjad]

youhana smacks a push for a six

[nedian21]

khatam kahani ab. as i said Salman threw it away and Inzi also.

[Nawazb]

oh well, was a poor poor shot

[Naz]

Youhana shows shoaib how to hit a six

[Sage]

6!!!!

[Khalil]

Malik out!

It's going to be very difficult now

[Nawazb]

6666666666

from yoyo!!! nice

[Amir_rulez]

Malik, thats how u hit a six damn it !

[nafajafam]

atleast we should go down fighting, realistically this was a big target to chace on a pitch slowing down.

[sajjad]

213/5 after 32

RR 6.65

[Raz]

Hafeez needs to support Yoyo now and not try anything too extravagent himself.

[IMMY69]

we need to win a bloody toss and bat first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nawazb]

144 from 108

difference of now 36!!!

[Amir_rulez]

Hafeez shud give YoYo maximum strike !

[Raz]

[sajjad]

NEGATIVE BOWLING WORKING AGAIN....

HAFEEZ CAUGHT AT THE BOUNDARY..BY BALAJI

[Amir_rulez]

We Still have some good batsmen in Akmal, Sami & especially Rana.
These two need to stick around for atleast 280-300 runs.

[Uzi]

Hafeez the great is gone. Akmal next man in

[Raz]

Hafeez gone!

[nafajafam]

why was he trying to hit.. we were in such a good position. shytttttttttt.

[Nawazb]

AKMAL NOW IN


yoyo is roman catholic

hafeez gone
damn

[Raz]

Why didnt Hafeez not leave the big shots to Yoyo?!

[sajjad]

cause the RR was above 8

[Naz]

If yoyo, gets out this match is over.

[Nawazb]

WE JUST ppl to stay with yoyo here - he is playing well

[nafajafam]

akmal needs to use his brain and give as much strike as possible to yoyo

[sajjad]

akmal runs a very fast 3

[w4s1m786]

Why didnt Hafeez not leave the big shots to Yoyo?!

if he head played like a snail like he useally does he would have been cussed

[MIG]

Akmal must play sensibly now....

[Nawazb]

[Amjid Javed]

LOL@sage

[sajjad]

last 50 of 31 balls

[Nawazb]

we are doing well - must keep it up

[Nauman]

Well I must say its about time Youhanna shouldered some responsibility and scored some runs because these runs were long due from him, he needs to keep his cool here and not loose his nerve and must not panic under any circumstances. It looks tough but its not impossible. Inshallah we will win.

[nafajafam]

we need 2 more good overs

[Amjid Javed]

pak 254/6 close to end off 37 over

[Raz]

Well I must say its about time Youhanna shouldered some responsibility and scored some runs because these runs were long due from him, he needs to keep his cool here and not loose his nerve and must not panic under any circumstances. It looks tough but its not impossible. Inshallah we will win.

India 250 runs in 37.1 overs - Pakistan 250 runs in 36.1 overs so its not all over but then again India were only 2 wickets down at that time, Pakistan is 6 wickets down :(

[sajjad]

sami and rana can bat a little

[Nawazb]

[Uzi]

That is a a major difference, India being only 2 wickets down and Pak 6 wickets down at this stage.

[nafajafam]

come on rana.... do the business!

thats it now

[nafajafam]

akmal needs most of the strike now.

[Amjid Javed]

come on rana banana..hits some sixes!

[Sage]

finally off the mark

[nafajafam]

rana is gonna put himself under pressure and get out.

[Raz]

RRR has ballooned to above 9! Rana wasting precious deliveries!

[the SHA]

By George someone remove him from the square, hes preventing Arshad & Sami's maiden ODI 50's!

I think the chase was good whilst it lasted, now back to work guys :p

[Raz]

I wana see a few Super Sami Sixes first!

[nafajafam]

best bet is to play out the remaining 10 overs and get their act together for the remaining 4 games.

[Nawazb]

89 from 57 - looks over now

[The_Cricket_Devil]

90 from 60 ugh this will be diffciutl

[Nawazb]

sami can hit big - generally off pacers though

[nafajafam]

looks over but we had them scared for quite some time and thats worth something.

[Amjid Javed]

akmal still in thou come on kami...

pakistan need to keep fighting,,,

am proud off batting 2day!

[w4s1m786]

for nxt match we eitherplay afridi or razzaq up the order coz we cant afford to play both of them up the top coz that leaves with no1 of the ability to hit out the ground

[Sage]

OUT!!!

[Raz]

Judging by today Razzaq!!

[nafajafam]

next game we also bowl BETTER.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

actually i thought the order today was fine just afridi got unlucky and failed as did inzi

[Nawazb]

rana gone

[nafajafam]

rambo out.

[Uzi]

Inzi definately needs to win the toss in the remaining games.

[Amjid Javed]

another one goes... dropping like flies!

[Raz]

Rana gone. Sami in. Bring on the sixes!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

no rambo!!! ranadad ranavid!!!NOOO!!

[Amjid Javed]

sami can bat. but sadly games over.

[Nawazb]

razzaq should bat up order on today's performance

[nafajafam]

another one goes... dropping like flies!

rana was trying to play shots, this was bound to happen.

[w4s1m786]

we might aswell play the remainig 10 overs out just for bit of batting practise

[Raz]

They need to hit out or get out now. No ifs, buts or maybes about it.

[Sage]

4!!

[nafajafam]

no rambo!!! ranadad ranavid!!!NOOO!!

ranadad sounds better. ;)+

[Nawazb]

Arshad can bat a little - but yoyo WAS the key

[Sage]

Sami off with a single
