too much pressure..pakistan collapsing towards the end

MANJREKAR WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL.

[Raz]

Younis gone now! Come on Sami! Unleash!

[DesiMD]

another catch for dravid

[Waseem]

Younis Khan OUT!!! but at least he was trying something.
Akmal has wasted lot of important balls.

He is making WILD swings for nothing.

We should have scored 340 in 50 overs but we may settle with 315-320 now.

[sajjad]

Sami in

[ataullah]

comeon this is terrible mn we needed afridi here

[Gasherbrum]

kashif, i think he's slapped you around a few times with that useless khan approach, 'nuff said.

zaheer bowling well

[sajjad]

zaheer bowling well outside off.. akmal cannot do anything about it...we're losing some easy runs here

[DesiMD]

6 balls left

[ataullah]

[Raz]

[DesiMD]

[Hydro]

Naved Gone Golden Duck Caught

[sajjad]

Rana out....wish akmal had gotten out 5 overs ago..
pakistan 317/9

1 ball to go

[Romali_rotti]

Yeah I understand why Sami is trying veryhard to get the runs, he is only tryinnn make uup for what heis gonna give away when he bowls :P.. Akmal is not gonna give away any runs when ind bats

[Gasherbrum]

hate to see it happen, but i haven't seen any urgency being shown by ganguly to get the overs completed. hasn't given the umpires much to defend him here, so i think india might not get the full 50 overs. unfortunate, but it might mean even more fireworks at the start from sehwag.

[badxhah]

ITS ALWAY HAS TO BE SOMEONE WHO SCREWS US BIG TIME AT THE END .. I DONT WTH KAMMY WAS DOIN

[DesiMD]

last ball..last man..
50 overs 317 for all maybe

[ataullah]

comeon danish we need another 6!!!!

[sajjad]

India need 320 runs to win

[Noddy]

kashif thts harsh
wot cud he do
kammi non ability to rotate thestrike put the onus on getting runs....
320 at the start wud hav had every1 happy....

[Hydro]

Pakistan 319-9 (50.0 Ovs)

[Naz]

319-9 50 overs.

Not bad but could have been better.

[Raz]

319-9 after 50. A decent total but we could have had at least another 20-30. The last 10 overs were disappointing. We could have got a lot more!

[DesiMD]

319....
320 to win for india..inshAllah pak will win

[DesiMD]

butt and malik only played well..youhana contributed a bit...kamran and younis messed it all up

[AbluDablu]

Do we start in 15 minutes?

[badxhah]

wont the indian innings have some overs deducted

[mumtaz]

hate to see it happen, but i haven't seen any urgency being shown by ganguly to get the overs completed. hasn't given the umpires much to defend him here, so i think india might not get the full 50 overs. unfortunate, but it might mean even more fireworks at the start from sehwag.

the rules have changed, now the team batting 2nd gets the full 50 overs, its the captain who gets fined or banned. i think its ganguly 2nd time in 1 year, so he might get banned for the next 1 or 2 matches.

[Dada]

319 not bad, not difficult to chess. Good time for Gang's.

[sajjad]

YK 9 OF 7 BALLS...including the one he was out on

AKMAL 14 OF 18 RUNS....akmal clearly the guilty party..yk is coming bacj from ilness

[ataullah]

inshallah we'll win today

[Khalil]

We should have scored at least 340 today

How we needed Afridi at number 8 today

[Waseem]

30 runs off last 5 overs and LOST 4 wickets.

That's a poor effort by PAK standards.

It's a good score though. Razzaq failed against spinners again.

Akmal should go back up to open with Salman Butt and Afridi should come down the order.

[Raz]

kashif thts harsh
wot cud he do
kammi non ability to rotate thestrike put the onus on getting runs....
320 at the start wud hav had every1 happy....

Yeah Noddy bhai i agree but considering the position we were in we should have got more. If we win it wont matter if we dont then it will.

[Raz]

India will have full 50 overs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sajjad]

we cud have had 20 more on the board..neways 319 is a good score..requires india tro score at 6.4 an over which is tuf...but its a small ground

[DesiMD]

India will have full 50 overs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yah thats cuz...they are gonna get fined....match fee

[badxhah]

ty all for helping me find the UK code esp Raz .. tyvm
really appreciate it ....
again TY

[Raz]

Oh yeah forgot about that.

[sajjad]

can ganguly be banned for a match or something

[mumtaz]

yeah if it happens twice in a year, and as far as i remember he had a warning some time back

[DesiMD]

yeah if it happens twice in a year, and as far as i remember he had a warning some time backlol...he is good..4 pak...on a poor streak

[sajjad]

play shud be resuming soon

man, the umpires must be exhausted

[Naz]

Did you see how cleverly zaheer khan was using the slower balls and leg cutters and off cutters in the death. Sami needs to do the same but unfortunately sami will just run in and try and bowl as fast as he can and get smacked to boundary and will try and bowl next ball even faster and same result and so on.

[DesiMD]

yeah if it happens twice in a year, and as far as i remember he had a warning some time backSEHWAG OFF THE MARK
