The 4th ODI at Ahmedabad: score and discussion, 2nd Innings [12/04/05]

[mansab]

I hope i am proven wrong but i don't think pakistan is going to win this one. This is a farce as far i am concerned, win the toss, wear down the fielding side and you have a win. Just to save everybody from this "tamasha", next two matches should be decided on toss. Whoever wins the toss should be declared winner, no need to waste everybody's time. The details of scorecard can be sorted out between two captains ( A 100 for ganguly ofcourse)

[sajjad]

Pakistan will win this match

[Kamranz]

Well if your watching the match then you'll know how "POOR" our fielding, Field placing, and EXTRA's are at PEAK at giving away!


Why are the Spinners constantly giving away wides and no-balls what are they FAST bowlers???

I hope pakistani Really learns for their defeat and learn to have Discipline in the future! I mean, Look at the aussies In WC 2003 Brett Lee was giving away 6-per over and R Ponting made statement after that "Even though we've won the match it doesn't mean we don't learn from mistakes and we need to stick to the basics!!

But here in Pak team we're lacking discipline through-out. It's almost become our culture to give away "High EXTRA's, Poor fielding and batting".


I really hope things slowly change! :$

And its NOT harsh statment its true facts so plz don't delete this thread cheers! I'd like your view thanks!

[MIG]

Now THAT will be a joke !

As Waqar Younis said on TV last night, only the team batting 2nd will be the true victors in this series !

[MIG]

Part 2:

More Torture for Pak Fans or a Wah Wah story ?

[kayanni]

Rudi was giving no-balls for fun today - poor rana got pulled up on very very marginal decisions

[pak_all_the_way]

heres something to give us hope

it is going to be another tough chase for Pakistan
but the last time a game was played here, India overtook West
Indies's 324 with 14 balls to spare.

[161]

well if the PCB doesn't get it yet - then they never will - SEND SHOAIB AND SHABBIR NOW !!!!!

[161]

stat of the day -

we gave india 38 extras today :O :O :O :O

cheers.

[the true passionist]

well Pakistan should understand this....as they wud have won both games if they only had wickets in hand...
Therefore....YKhan shud come in ahead of Inzi and Yoyo...
Both YKhan and Inzi should look to bat fifty overs while others shud play natural cricket..
It is certainly not Impossible

[Schiller]

we're going to have the usual story with pakistan losing

[MIG]

heres something to give us hope

it is going to be another tough chase for Pakistan
but the last time a game was played here, India overtook West
Indies's 324 with 14 balls to spare.

Suddenly there is hope and lots of it - my view open with YK and Salman and get a good platform for the innings - forget about Afridi heroics - only adds further pressure if hes out quickly

[DM]

Salman Butt - 70 off 82
Shahid Afridi - 119 off 56
Shoaib Malik - 40 off 42
Inzamam Haq - 0 off 4
Youhana - 71 off 102
Razzaq - 16 off 9


I think that adds up!

[Kamranz]

Yeah at Local Umpire of india's aet Sami's Ball of lbw hitting on the toe's. Why don't PCB compile the evidence together and take action against this for godsack it happend in West Indies, Austrialia and now in India. I Hate the idea of local umpires who the hell came up with that?? ICC is just hates Pakistani team for all its young talents!

[pak_all_the_way]

yk open

now dats a thought

[Raz]

heres something to give us hope

it is going to be another tough chase for Pakistan
but the last time a game was played here, India overtook West
Indies's 324 with 14 balls to spare.

Suddenly there is hope and lots of it - my view open with YK and Salman and get a good platform for the innings - forget about Afridi heroics - only adds further pressure if hes out quickly

MIG, this run rate needs to be controlled early on. Shahid may be the man today to open. All we need is a quickfire 50 from him and we should be fine.

[161]

razzaq should go up the order like he did in the 2nd ODI, he is just a waste playing against spinners at the bottom.

razzaq vs spinners = a fish out of the water !!

[MIG]

OK I change my mind then, Afridi to open

[pak_all_the_way]

Salman Butt - 70 off 82
Shahid Afridi - 119 off 56
Shoaib Malik - 40 off 42
Inzamam Haq - 0 off 4
Youhana - 71 off 102
Razzaq - 16 off 9


I think that adds up!

:)? u need some new clips for afridi montages :D

[161]

"Shahid Afridi - 119 off 56 "

when was the last time Afridi lasted more then 30 balls?

[DM]

just last month in the test series!

[161]

just last month in the test series!


I meant in ODIs.

[Schiller]

Rameez going to town on Inzi and company and sajnay saying that inzi cannot think on his feet.

some valid pts from ramiz

[Officer Barbrady]

Rameez and his comments... :))) :)))

[MIG]

Rameez and Sanjay - a bit like Waz and Shaz ....

Some pairings are soooooo unnatural.....

[Imy]

Sid 999 you canot be comparing the Paksitani teams over the long run with the India teams are u. Just how many series has India won outside its own soil. india has a better team now but come on man be intellectually honest

[Schiller]

:D

afridi opening with Butt

[161]

afridi opening again :|@ :|@

[MIG]

Let the Tamasha begin...

[MIG]

2 wides to give us a head start - Indian trying to make a match of it !

[161]

good job salman - keep afridi off the strike .

[Sid9999]

ok maybe.. India has not won any series of lately.. but it is getting there.. slowly and steadily... building one brick at a time...and you also have to accept that in these days.. India is the only team to give Aus run for its money... and i know again u are going to point to the home series defeat to Aus, but then it was not as one sided as Aus-Pak in 2001... was it???

[MIG]

Adfidi Vs Nehra now !

[MIG]

Salman telling Afridi , Allah ka nam lay kar !!

[161]

way to go afridi !!

he tried to hit that back to pakistan

[Imy]

afridi what the hell

[badxhah]

Afridi is jus out of sort here .. he cant connect anything yet

[MIG]

Afridi still there is more important !

[Raz]

Agreed MIG. Hes still there!

[Cartman]

I hate it when people compare us with India.. We are far superior.. Cricket is not just played in India and its certainly not a game to be played on dead dusty wickets..

Hence the word sporty.. you have those wickets and then i ll see how many test matches India wins.

utter non-sense.. these jokers or should I say "chokers" have won maybe 1 or 2 ODI tournaments in their history.
probably only one outside sub-continent which was 83 world cup..

ever since Sachin Ramesh Terdulkar has been around they have not won poopie.

[DM]

AFRIDI IS A BEAST!!! WHICH OTHER PLAYER IN THE WORLD STARTS AN INNING COMING OFF A BAD RUN WITH COMING DOWN THE WICKET TO A FAST BOWLER AND SWIPING?!!!

:))) :))) :D :D :D :D

[Cartman]

ok guys I would probably be the last one to put our players down .. I support bakri all the way but jeez.. come on.. Inzi.. you gotta smarten up man....


i have been saying this for a while now that we should make Younia Khan the captain.. right now is the time.. maybe for the series againt Windies, they should appoint him captain for the entire series.. since Inzi is banned for the first test anyways..

I am sure as captain he can do no worse, if not better than Inzi.

[badxhah]

dhoni and dravid families has been victimized by nehra here

[Naz]

Just countdown till afridi gets out. Only a matter of seconds.

[tahaqureshi]

SIX!!!!!!!!!!!

[Naveed]

This is an unbelievable start for Pakistan!

[MIG]

Shabash lagay rahna Allah ka naam lakay says Salman to Afridi !

[tahaqureshi]

runrate so freakin high lads!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Naveed]

No need for a stupid run out!

[Nauman]

I have one thing to say about the state of running between the wickets - SHOCKING

[161]

like i said before - when was the last time afridi lasted more then 30 balls in an ODI ???

[Wasif]

where is everybody ??

[Naz]

Afridi has some seriously seriously damaged brains.

[161]

razzaq in - good calll !!!

[DM]

GOOD INNINGS BY AFRIDI!!!!

HOPE TO SEE MORE OF THIS NEXT MATCHES :D :D :D

Now we need to build on that foundation by AFRIDI!!

GO PAKISTAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Khalil]

Go Razzak!

Butt should hold the innings together while those around him should take the risks

[Raz]

Yeah we must maintain the momentum he created. Razzaq is ideal for it.

[the_game]

Why does Manjrekar love Sachin so much?

[MIG]

Can people pls keep on posting the score as they see it - thanks

[Schiller]

afridi has atleast given us a chance here

[Raz]

78-1 after 10 overs.

[MIG]

Razzaq needs to calm down - run rate is healthy needs to be maintained- not exceeded !

[Cartman]

In order for us to win this game, its crucial Butt plays a knock similar to the last one dayer.. Its going to be tough in the heat but he has shown the temprament. Razzaq needs to jump on the Afridi bandwagon and keep hiting it clean to make sure the run rate doesnt drop. plenty of good batters to come. Malik, Inzi, Youhana, YK etc. this is far from over, and we have a very very good chance. I would be disappointed if we lose.

[nedian21]

82/1 11 overs

[MIG]

Cruise control is also needed here - single a ball is also fine - suppose different ways to look at it

[Raz]

Run rate is falling here. We cant let the momentum drop here.

[MIG]

Sent to me by an Indian friend:

The following are some of the ideas for Ganguly to regain form and stay in the middle for a longer duration.(subject toapproval by I.C.C)

IDEA NO:1: Plastic Ball or Tennis Ball or Rubber Ball to be used while bowling to Ganguly.

IDEA NO:2: Only one stick should be kept while Ganguly is Batting instead of Three so that his chances of getting out bowled will be minimised

IDEA NO:3: Dada can wrap up his legs with 4 or 5 bats instead of pads, sothat there is no chance of getting out lbw.

IDEA NO:4: The size of the ball can be reduced to the size of a lemon or size of his bat can be increased to twice its size. Or the size of the ground can bedecreased to that of a Basketball Ground.

IDEA NO:5: Fast Bowlers are prohibited to bowl the following deliveries to Dada.
They should not bowl Inswinger,Outswinger,Off cutter, Leg cutter,Bouncer,ShortPitched Ball, Reverse swinging ball, yorker,reverse swinging yorker,slower balland most importantly in and around the off stump corridor.

IDEA NO:6: Slow Bowlers are prohibited from bowling off spin,legspin,doosra,googly,china man,flipper,faster ball.

IDEA NO:7: Speed restrictions for bowlers:
FAST BOWLERS: MAX 120 KMPH
SLOW BOWLERS: MAX 50 KMPH.

IDEA NO:8 Fast bowlers in their runup should run like Mohinder Amarnath andslow bowlers should not run at all.

IDEA NO:9 Ganguly can change his position as medium fast bowler instead of Batsman and bat at no:11, so that by the time he enters the ground 48 or 49overs would have been bowled.

IDEA NO:10: I.C.C Should warn Pakistan Bowlers that hereafter any bowler taking Dada's wicket, the number will not be added to the bowler's tally of wickets.

IDEA NO:11: Bowlers should not appeal for dismissal of Ganguly. Even a smallappeal (not necessarily loud appealing or excessive appealing) will lead tomatch refereee Chris Broad suspending the bowler for the rest of the series.

IDEA NO:12: Fast Bowlers should only throw the ball and slow bowlers should useunderarm throw.

IDEA NO:13: Even after this if Ganguly gets out, the bowler will be called achucker and new rule for bowling action, i.e.( 2 degrees bending of bowling armallowed for fast bowlers and 3 degrees bending of bowling arm for slow bowlers)will be taken into account and the bowler will be immediately sent to Australiaby next flight for corrective action.

IDEA NO:14: No fielder should catch the ball hit by Dada. If they catch, thenany of the opening batsman who got out earlier, like virender shewag will beallowed to bat for second time.

IDEA NO: 15: For every minute Dada stays in the middle, one run will be addedto his score and if the ball hits the bat and travels to the following places,runs will be credited to Dada as follows.
Slip,Gully,Forward Short Leg: 1 run
Mid on,mid off, cover,point: 2 runs
long on,long off,fine leg,third man: 3 runs.

and finally if Dada's wicket is taken before he reaches 50 runs all pakistani players willbe fined 50% of their match

[Cartman]

You are right MIG. its a run a ball.. if they can do that comfortably fine.. if not, Razzaq would have to make clean hits to the boundary.. the way this wicket is I am sure they wont have trouble placing their shots and stealing singles and doubles .. make indians work in the field and tire them too..

basically its just the psychological pressure of scoring 6 runs an over.. if u dont have that batting first you can easily score 7/8 runs an over on such tracks.

[Naz]

Pakistan dont realise that it is very easy to win this game from here without taking any risks. Unfortunately they feel they have to score really quiclkly cos target is above 300. They need to play naturally and use their brains.

[the_game]

What a good shot that was by Salman!

[MIG]

basically a boundary per over will do very nicely

[Awesome Anjum]

Salman's looking good. I hope he does'nt throw it away.

[badxhah]

kartick and negative [Edited by Mods: Tendulkar or SRT, take your pick pls] will be crucial here

[the_game]

Razzaq is finding it hard to time the ball though. We would really need to attack Kartik.

[Cartman]

hehe.. nice one..

another golden addition to the infamous ganguly lore

[badxhah]

Pakistan dont realise that it is very easy to win this game from here without taking any risks. Unfortunately they feel they have to score really quiclkly cos target is above 300. They need to play naturally and use their brains.

play naturally and use their brain ,,,,,,,, askin too much

[MIG]

in a strange way, spinners can be milked for singles easily, I think - match is evenly poised though with 9 wickets in hand , Pak should win from here

[Cartman]

guys show some faith. inzi has been having a low key series so far.. i think he is due for a big score..



inshallah

if it even comes to that..

[tahaqureshi]

100 in 13.5 balls

[Nawazb]

103-1 off 14

[Nawazb]

fielding restrictions have gone

[MIG]

Razzaq can do some serious damage - he just needs to play with his head - the spinner will be on next

[Khalil]

Pakistan 100 runs in 13.5 overs

India 100 runs in 14.4 overs

[Naz]

India can't win from here, BUT pakistan can lose from here!!! It's all in their hands, their is no need for throwing wickets away. Even scoring 5 runs an over from here till last 10 overs is fine, but have to keep wickets in hand.

[Nawazb]

pak are going at a very good rate inshallah these 2 can keep it up

[Raz]

Salman gone! Karthik strikes!

[Schiller]

that shouldnt have been out
hari haran was quick to give it

[Nawazb]

damn good innings though from salman hopefully s malik comes in next.

[sajjad]

unbelievable.....
on the front foot
playing a stroke and the indian umpire had no doubt in his mind

THE FINGER GOES UP

countless appeals in the indian innings were not given...
CRUCIAL WICKET.....CONTREVORCIAL END

[Nawazb]

did salman make 48 there?

[Nawazb]

whos in now?

[sajjad]

Malik in

[Khalil]

YoYo should be broughjt in while 2 spinners are operating

[Nawazb]

109-2 off 16 overs

[Cartman]

Indians do it again! and I am not saying the players.. I am talking about the umpire.

[Imy]

where the hell is inzi

[tahaqureshi]

so u saying that wasn't out?

[Nawazb]

yuvraj on

[sajjad]

pakistan cheated there.

so many indian got away with these forward playing shot appeals

this one was so close to the leg side...cud have pitched out...yet no doubt in the umpires mind

[sajjad]

so u saying that wasn't out?

it cud have gone either way and abt 2-3 times such decisions went in favor of the indians

[Nawazb]

114-2 off 17

[sajjad]

Pak 114/2 after 17 overs

[MIG]

ball spinning slowly - should be easy for Razzaq

Aamir Sohail is driving me mad !

[Imy]

that was out dude

[tahaqureshi]

this hariharan guy cant even call a boundary properly and they expect hom to judge lbw's..idiot

[the_game]

Salman was out. Stop complaining guys.

[badxhah]

RR is gona drop here wid Razzler ( is that ok ) not playin good against spinners and shoaib Malik jus got there .

[sajjad]

that was out dude

considering he was on the front foot. ball pitched very close to leg stump and spun a bit....enuf doubt to give it not out...esp since in the previous decisions were given not out

[Nawazb]

picking off singles nicely at the moment

[nedian21]

Yo Yo or Inzi shd be there. but anyway hope this works. yeh Aamir Sohail kia bak raha hai. Kamran at this stage wud have been good. is he mad???

[tahaqureshi]

well that happens and Mashallah we have enough batsmen to compensate

[sajjad]

Salman was out. Stop complaining guys.

well so was dhoni, ganguly and yuvraj

umpires need to be consistent with such stuff...thats my only point

[Nawazb]

120-2 off 18 overs

[tahaqureshi]

all we need is 2-3 good overs..and then run rate will shoot up again

[sajjad]

ball spinning slowly - should be easy for Razzaq

Aamir Sohail is driving me mad !

surprised u still listening to him

[Imy]

where is our great intellectual captain inzi

[Officer Barbrady]

ball spinning slowly - should be easy for Razzaq

Aamir Sohail is driving me mad !

You are not alone!

[Nawazb]

125-2 of 19

current partnership 18

[sajjad]

Pakistan need a good 10-15 runs over...thatll change stuff or better yet...2 8-10 run overs

[Cartman]

I happen to be a certified umpire and guys that was not out.. balls pitches on leg, no matter how in front of the wicket it hits the pad, front or back, its not out..

[MIG]

Pak just 1 good over away - doing great !

[the_game]

Salman was out. Stop complaining guys.

well so was dhoni, ganguly and yuvraj

umpires need to be consistent with such stuff...thats my only point

Tell that to the ICC who is planning to introduce this guy into the elite panel :L? .

[sajjad]

Ramiz wanted Inzi in as well.

I feel malik cud have been saved to slog later. inzi cud develop the innings here. but thats done now. these guys have to do the job

[nedian21]

where is our great intellectual captain inzi

bhai Imy do u have any grudge with Inzi. does he has taken some money from u. ok i agree Inzi or Yo Yo shd have been there but dont always criticize Inzi. He has done enough and has proved wrong all the armchair critics

[sajjad]

I happen to be a certified umpire and guys that was not out.. balls pitches on leg, no matter how in front of the wicket it hits the pad, front or back, its not out..

thats when it pitches outside leg....who gave u the certification :L?

[sajjad]

RRR 6.61

[Imy]

man I think he is a great batsmen and a great person but as a capatin he is too negative infact a liability

[nedian21]

I feel malik cud have been saved to slog later. inzi cud develop the innings here. but thats done now. these guys have to do the job

yes sajjad. no point in crying abt that. Inzi and Yo Yo INSHALLAH will finish the game for us.

[Cartman]

guys you have to look at all the different factors.. we need quick singles and doubles and the sort of conditions that are out there, after fielding 48 overs, Maybe Inzi was honest enough to know he cannot keep up the pace and send a younger pair of legs in there. sending malik in was the absolutely correct decision and I stand by him on that..

these guys carry us to the 35 over mark and we are home safe.. as long as the require RR does not exceed 9 per over by 35 over mark, and we have Inzi and Youhana in hand, we have a very very strong chance.

[sajjad]

awesome stroke by razzaq for 4

10 off the over

[tahaqureshi]

I think malik and razzaq are playing very well according ot the situation Mashallah....after taking singles for like 3 consecutive overs..razzaq just hit FOUR

[nedian21]

good shot for 4 by Abdul. as long as they dont let the RRR slip we are in chance with Inzi, Yo Yo, Yk to come

[sajjad]

we need 2-3 such overs

[sajjad]

slow running prevents a double

[Cartman]

I happen to be a certified umpire and guys that was not out.. balls pitches on leg, no matter how in front of the wicket it hits the pad, front or back, its not out..

thats when it pitches outside leg....who gave u the certification :L?

ok maybe i exaggerated and didnt do a good job of explaining it .. hehe

:)

even when pitched on or marginally outside leg there are other factors u consider.. and that was not out to me.. then again even the elite umpires differ on these decisions..

[nedian21]

man I think he is a great batsmen and a great person but as a capatin he is too negative infact a liability

are u Indian. I doubt any Pakistani fan wud have called Inzi a liability.

[Naz]

survival is the key!!!

[sajjad]

7 off that over

keep it up...boyz!

[sajjad]

tendulkar in now

[nedian21]

key phase in this match now. Sachin on.

[MIG]

My next TSN will be:

Ramiz admits that he is not an expert

[sajjad]

sloppy running
and razzaq just makes it

JUST IN!!!!

[nedian21]

close call for Abdul. he is in INSHALLAH

[sajjad]

that was the first ball
down leg way down swept to fine leg

they ran 2

[sajjad]

150 up!

[MIG]

Hoi Hoi Hoi !!! Bhangra time - 150 up !! Jeet Gaay Jeet Gaay !!! Wah Wah !

[tahaqureshi]

tendy in...we cant let any bowling change work for them...if we have to lose a wicket..the bowler must've been bowling ta least 3 consecutive overs..this way pressure will be applied

[sajjad]

a single missed

but 5 of 5 balls so far

[sajjad]

a wide and a single later its 7 off the over

[sajjad]

btw these ahmedabad chicks are hottt

[Cartman]

Hoi Hoi Hoi !!! Bhangra time - 150 up !! Jeet Gaay Jeet Gaay !!! Wah Wah !

Professor Malik Miggy Lal Sharma Pathan is already celebrating our win.. hehe

ustad ji hajey nai.. aina da koi nai jay pata

[the_game]

These two should keep using the same strategy. I see around 190 runs at the end of 30 overs, and then 315 doesn't sound too far fetched.

[sajjad]

more fielders in the circle on the off for razzaq...kept him to 2 dot balls

[the Great Khan]

hey guys is tendu bowling that stupid legside line again?? cmon boyzzz!!

[nufc]

we have a great chance of winning, we still got a long batting line up if these 2 get us up to 190-200 by 30 overs then i think well beable to do it!

[sajjad]

another 6 run over

we need another of those 10 run overs here

[Wasif]

hey guys is tendu bowling that stupid legside line again?? cmon boyzzz!!

yes he is

[Naz]

Razzaq is batting sooo sensibly MASHALLAH. I wish the youngsters can learn from him.

[sajjad]

zaheer khan brought back in

[MIG]

Pak need 151 to win ... that is tantalizingly close people - shame to lose from here but keep on fighting Pak!

[sajjad]

just 151 more

this partnership needs to go on

[The_Cricket_Devil]

make that 150 WIDE

[adi 101]

still inzy and yoyo to come. i would say this match is in the balance right now

[the Great Khan]

with our lineup barring a mini collapse we should do it now...all depends on how long razzaq can stay there..if he is still there and we have wickets in hand in the last 10-15 overs we'll win easy..a couple of quick wickets and we could be in trouble..cmon lads!

[tahaqureshi]

after having faced 50 balls, razzaq strike rate = 80

[sajjad]

just out of reach of nehra...MALIK LUCKY THERE

4 runs

[Naz]

Malik that shot was not needed, we were doing fine as it is!!! What if he got out??

[sajjad]

8 runs off that one

we need to maintain wkts this target is very achievable

[arsal_pakfan]

only 1 hour and 24 minds r left and i can't see India bowling their remaining 23 overs in that period

any suggestions what should we need to score at the end of 40th,45th or 46th over to win this match!

[sajjad]

comm's complaining abt bad spin bowling

its more abt pakistan playing the negative bowling well

[sajjad]

play can be extended...its summer time..sun will be out for a while

[sajjad]

137 of 125

def. do able

[The_Cricket_Devil]

138 from 21 (8) HUM JEETAINGAY (8)

[Officer Barbrady]

There are 20.5 overs left and the match can go over time.

[MIG]

137 of 135 balls needed

[sajjad]

short down the leg

WIDE NOT CALLED

[nufc]

good over for pak

[sajjad]

chip clears mid on
2 taken

5 off the over

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Malik Yaar Stop With These Chipped shots Real Risky Just Play Easy And We Can And Will Do This

[Naz]

Last 20 overs coming up with 8 wickets in hand, CANT screw up from here but with Pak you never know!!!

[Raz]

Razzaq gone!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

NOOOO!!! Idiot What Was The need For That Shot

[sajjad]

a waist high full toss

CAUGHT AT THE BOUNDARY

WHY OH WHY

WE DID THIS IN THE OTHER MATCH ALSO.

RAZZAQ GONE...SACHIN STRIKES

[nufc]

razzaq gone!!!!!!

[KB]

Pakistan have a great chnace of winning this, really.

[MIG]

Razzaq goes to a full toss - was doing do well :(

[adi 101]

well inzys should be comig in next maybe it was for the best

[sajjad]

Last 20 overs coming up with 8 wickets in hand, CANT screw up from here but with Pak you never know!!!

U NEVER KNOW

INZI IN NOW. he can do it..just needs to watch out for those fielders

[Naz]

Poor shot but not to worry, we still have advantage, inzi needs to bat through till end though.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well he has given Pakistan the initiative along with malik and it is imperative that inzi or yoyo continue in that fashion as these 2 were

[Raz]

Inzi in now.

[nufc]

no worrys he played his part we can still win! Inzy in now

[the_game]

End of momentum. End of the run chase. I have seen this one too many times now.

[nedian21]

now Malik shd play like sheet anchor. he is set. we are in a big chance

[sajjad]

Inzi starts with a QUICK double

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the_game are u watching the same game we have so much momentum atm if there was any place that it could be considered acceptable to lose a wicket was prolly here and we have still got the momentum

[Raz]

Inzi looking in good nick. Need a half century from him at least.

[MIG]

They are shouting AALOO - pathetic...

[Officer Barbrady]

The entire stadium going aalo aalo...

[nufc]

yeh it will go over time

[Raz]

I no MIG. They clearly have forgotten the Montreal incident!

[nedian21]

End of momentum. End of the run chase. I have seen this one too many times now.

yar dont lost hope so early. Inzi abhi aya hai. and still Yo Yo and YK left.

[sajjad]

127 off 114 left
cmon boyz!

Nehra in

[Officer Barbrady]

:))) @aalo

[Jonty]

Go the Pakistani's!

Razzaq gone..now i lost all hopes of a win here!

it will be once again a jinxed performance from pakistan...razzaq really set it up for pakistan but dont think our upcoming batsmen will play with that much of a responsibility!

still hoping for the best :(

[the_game]

Please don't count Younis as one of our "hopes". Youhana I can trust. There is no one else left except for him.

[sajjad]

crucial time

need 6 an over at this stage...and maintain wkts

[sajjad]

YUVRAJ DROPS MALIK....DOLLY

[adi 101]

i can only stay till bout 5 past 12 then my i.c.t lesson is over. lol

[nufc]

malik dropped by yuvraj! c'mon pak lucks on our side

[sajjad]

next ball
4 to fine leg

[sajjad]

9 off the over
good one for pakistan

[Officer Barbrady]

198/3 in 30 overs

[tahaqureshi]

malik 37 from 35 inzi 6 from 7

we need more than a measly 23 from inzi this time around

[nufc]

these 2 need to make a run a ball partnership of about 60+ at least

[adi 101]

how much do we need of how many balls my teacher keeps coming around to see what im going on so you no keep me updated

[nufc]

damn i need to go to college ive got a lesson at 12.30!

[tahaqureshi]

we are ahead of what the indians were after 30 overs

[Cartman]

I trust Inzi more than YOYO.. yoyo is not mentally that strong.. inzi is.. i hope these two carry us through to the end.
we still have 3 GOOD BATSMEN LEFT.

lets hope we dont end up needing them to score .. these two should do the job.

[sajjad]

comm now saying they are bowling defensively...lol
where has he been all this series

[Raz]

200 up for Pakistan.

[adi 101]

maybe it would have been better to send younis now because they could steel the extra runs becuase they are both quik runners? and maybe kept inzy to start hitting towards the end

[sajjad]

17 overs and 112 runs to get....
pakistan doing well here

[adi 101]

ok we are going to shutdown in 2 mins give me how many runs of how many balls quik

[sajjad]

aamir not giving ne credit to the batsmen...he says we r in this position cause of the water put in yesterday

[The_Cricket_Devil]

My prediction pakistan get there with 2 overs to spare

[adi 101]

how many runs needed of how many balls?????? quick

[Cartman]

aamir has turned out to be such a friggin idiot.. i cant believe it.. and i used to be such a huge fan of his batting.. ais doley shah dey choohey dey chibbey sir tey lanat.

[MIG]

108

Inzi not wearing a thigh pad

[Officer Barbrady]

oye yeh aamir sohail ko aagwa karrao

(joke)

[adi 101]

inshallah we will win ok we are shutting down now lataz

[sajjad]

manj saying Inzi has taken a big step not wearing the thigh pad.. aamir says he is a strong lad...

does it hurt for aamir to praise inzi for a change..does it really

[sajjad]

kartik in

104 runs to win

[the_game]

This target is SO gettable, the only problem is the unpredictable Pakistani collapse factor which keeps scaring me.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

And now the bhangee aka kartik is back to ball

[sajjad]

only 2 off the over
we need a big one here

cmon pakistan

[badxhah]

I think that last over by malik will come back and haunt us

[The_Cricket_Devil]

We Shall see fireworks as soon as malik gets to his fifty

[sajjad]

sorry 3

forget that one by malik
whats done is done
lets make ammends for it

[MIG]

oye yeh aamir sohail ko aagwa karrao

(joke)

too late - Ravi about to strangle him with his tie ( dipped in Masala chai )

[The_Cricket_Devil]

remember wat inzi and yoyo did to kartik in karachi 2004 i am so hoping that kind of treatment is always there to be given if needed not now tho 15 overs 102 runs no prob

[sajjad]

slow ball
inzi slams it for 4

[KB]

I think Pakistan will win

[sajjad]

96 of 86 to win

[MIG]

victory just round the corner....

[sajjad]

50 for malik...cheered by the crowd...wow..good stuff!!!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I think Pakistan will winwe all hope and pray this does happen as well to prove that in this series winning the toss and batting 1st isnt everything in a winning team

[tahaqureshi]

milky boy's fifty comes

[The_Cricket_Devil]

shobby is doing it who ever thinks he shouldnt bat third can shove it
