[Hash]

the latest news is that India have won the toss (might as well put this up in advance)

lol. too right, unfortunately

[Uzi]

What time does the match start (BST)?

[Amir_rulez]

Rahul Dravid :
On the toss
"It won't play a big role. The wicket stays good throughout the match. If you score big while batting first then the chasing side is always under a lot of pressure. 300 has been chased successfully very few times. You need to keep wickets in hand at the end to do it and that is difficult when you have to maintain a high run-rate as well. "

What exactly r u sayin dravid ?

What time does the match start (BST)?

0425

[Amir_rulez]

the time clock on pp shows the match starts in 34 minutes. I dont think dats right tho.

[bingo]

match has started.

afridi has hit first ball of pathan for SIX, then takes two runs. next 2 balls hit for SIX, and then 2 FOURS off last 2 balls.
pakistan is now 28 fro no loss after 1st over

[Sage]

Malik will be bowling then?

[mumtaz]

rediff says that its the word from icc that malik can bowl, which means that icc has allowed malik to bowl

[Hash]

Pakistan team:
Salman Butt, Shahid Afridi, Younis Khan, *Inzamam-ul-Haq,
Yousuf Youhana, Abdul Razzaq, +Kamran Akmal, Danish Kaneria,

[catwoman]

Hash, how much do you get paid for these updates? :P

[Imy]

Poor Inzi seems like good bounce and cloudy may be we should have bowled first just his luck to read the pitch the wrong way and then win the toss

[Hash]

Mona- £17 per post.

Do you not like them? If you don't like them you have to registr an official complaint with PakPassion. Who knows, I could get sacked by the next game.

[Dada]

Such batting will not affect Indians, they should hit the ball right now else it will be costly with Sehwag factor.

[catwoman]

Hash, in $ please, not lb. :P

[HAFRIDI]

agree with u jonty mate, welcome back, havent seen u around for quite a while:) hope everything is good

anyway mona

thats poor Mona for u

daym that was hot, but u think it was nice?

[Hash]

wow! Imagine if Inzi had chosen to bowl first! PakPassion would have gone INSANE!!!

A bit early yet.....only 11 overs gone. We need to get 300 plus though and it is still well within reach.

Malik not interested in single's. Its not good sign on such a great batsman, he shoud learn from Dravid, you should go for singles when you cannot hit the ball accross the boundry.

Assalam-o-Alikum Bhaiyo or Behno!

Happy so far or still some niggles ?

All I can say is that if I was Inzy I would pay NO attention to the friends on TV - first there was nothing for the bowlers on this pitch, now there is something for the bolwers....

I think my mute button will be working over time today !

[badxhah]

Malik has been kept quest here and is tryin to break loose

[Noddy]

Water cooler mere hoowa

[Naz]

[ali kc]

121/1

Partnership 90 runs now :D>

[mumtaz]

bad over for pak only 2 runs

[161]

run rate sloooowing down....

[sajjad]

according to manj, keeping wkts in hand is a dangerous tactic

[badxhah]

ard the wicket is good if u have butt there

[sajjad]

pak rr a little low but a few god overs here and thatll totally change.

[ali kc]

Despite what the commentators say I think its pretty good batting by Pakistan...

If This pair can get us to 240-250 by the 41-42nd over. Inzi/Youhanna/Razzaq can take us to 310-320

[Hash]

sajjad- that is the first time I have ver heard that

[sajjad]

u havent heard too much of manj i suppose.

pak doing well
need a few boundaries though. to go upto 5.5 an over

[Naz]

200 required off last 25 overs, very very ahievable.

[sajjad]

another thing they arent mentioning is the over rate

very low

[161]

such a sad state how we play so defensively against tendu - we should be smacking him around instead !!!

[Hash]

i cant believe my friend hasnt woken up. I am missing out here. He told me he'd wake up! grrrrrrr

[sajjad]

arul lal bringing some normalcy to the commentary

[sajjad]

100 partnership up
very good one for us

[ali kc]

Partnership is a 100 from 120 balls

[Hash]

important as well.

well played boys

[sajjad]

one of these guys has to start hitting out

and that in mind shud be malik. we needs some quick runs now.

[sajjad]

anybody know what the over rate is

[DesiMD]

50 for Salman :D> :D> :D> :D> :D>

to think people were saying he should be droppedu cant drop a man that quickly...gotta give him time to get better

50 fer malik

now pus on a little we need 300

[DesiMD]

132-1....26 overs

[Hash]

desiMD- I know that. Some people here were saying he is just another Nazir and he should be dropped. I vehemently opposed that view!

[sajjad]

malik gets a good 50

[DesiMD]

maliik's 50 up

[Naz]

congrats malik, now to step up.

[sajjad]

only 2 of that over

thats a definite no-no

[ataullah]

50 to malik congrats

[Hash]

Malik's played himself back into form. Now he needs to pick up the scoring rate.

[DesiMD]

congrats malik, now to step up.inshAllah a 100 for malik..n butt..more importantly...victory

[DesiMD]

nice 4 by salu

[Raz]

Well played Shoaib for his 50! Now to accelerate!

[DesiMD]

butt has accelarted after hsi 50....hope malik will do the same safely

[ali kc]

Rameez: Singles wont hurt India at this time ?!?!

***! India has not even batted yet and he is saying that.

Every run will hurt India and i hope it does...

[sajjad]

for batsmen so well set, they are finding the fielders wayy to often

[Hash]

one of these two needs to keep his head, rotate the strike, hit the bad balls and stay till the end (Butt)

The other needs to hit out, get some boundaries, get that run rate up (Malik)

[sajjad]

absolutely hash

and a SIXXXX

[Raz]

Even Rameez is getting vexed at this run rate! He wants action and he wants it now. And he gets it with a HUGE six from Shoaib!

[Noddy]

perfect 2 hits!

[Hash]

Ramiz- singles wont hurt India? What about a six? will that hurt India? A four next ball? will that hurt India?

Rami kindly shut your mouth

[DesiMD]

28 overs
148-1
Harbhajan's over comes to end
butt 67..malik 50....
projected score....252...5.04

[Raz]

12 from that over. A very good one. More of the same.

[sajjad]

yeah....stupid commentary as usual

even singles hurt if u take them consistently enuf...esp in the middle overs

[ataullah]

28.2 Tendulkar to Shoaib Malik, SIX, massive six! comes down the track,
gets inside the line and lofts it way over the midwicket fence,
lovely use of the feet


comeon thats the way to play tendulkar

[DesiMD]

12 runs off this over....a six and a 4 came...153-1..

[sajjad]

12 runs of that over
pakistan getting up there now

things looking good for pak

[Hash]

162/1 after 30 overs

They say if you have wicketsin hand you tend to double your score after 30 overs. By that reasoning we should score 324! That will be a good total!

[sajjad]

pathan back into the attack

[Noddy]

only 2 overs of 10 plus so far the stats man is saying 2 us..

need to lift this with 20 2 gi the platform is now set...for a 280 plus score

[mumtaz]

now rameez saying malik can be lethal!!

175/1 after 31

[ataullah]

30.5 Pathan to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, short ball, nicely pulled away to the
midwicket fence, Malik looking dangerous here, Pathan under
pressure

malik looking dangerous and the key for pakistan

[Naz]

10 runs an over from here gives us a massive score 350+.

[mumtaz]

rameez was saying 15 min back abt sending younis khan ahead of malik, and arun lal was saying that a set inzi wud be much more profitable to pak than a set malik....

now both have changed trend completely

[DesiMD]

mashALlah...pakistan's condition's improving

[sajjad]

1 hour to go
