Pakistan v England | T20 World Cup | The Oval | 07/06/09 | Pak Innings

[RumiNYC]

so u guys still dont want IMRAN NAZIR in the team because his BADTAMEEZ ? LOL

[Sparhawk]

Afridi seems to have lost his confidence

[Ralync]

Finally some entertainment from Afridi

[saqlain]

are we???

someone pls answer?

are we out if we lose this?

hey getting out of the first round isnt something new for us.

[checkers.llvllaster]

Yay, we need 16.00 RR required, and we are scoring 4 runs per over...awesome stuff

[invincible]

Pietersen's attitude with the young ones is really good ! (in both the IPL and international setups)

[abc_to_xyz]

Impossible is near.


Impossible is behind! Its really impossible now!

[Phuzz]

oh how useless is afridi

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

pakistan are done in this game need to batt out the 20 oversto get 165

[Inswinging Yorker]

afridi swinging like a dunce

[IMMY69]

afridi has lost it man....

[cricketkashmir]

we dont deserve to go to the next round

[hashman]

Afridi is really wasting balls here. Misbah shouldve come in

[pak4life]

whos worse butt or afridi!

[moekind]

Afridi is finished.....

[IAJ]

Commentators making fun of Afridi. He is a big joke now

[IMMY69]

yk is 100pct better batsman then afridi - even in 20/20's

[ECB]

afridi can never play golf then

[Inswinging Yorker]

man this pak is playing like an icc team

[Sparhawk]

Forget about winning.. get 150 keep yourself in the WC

[Dhonian]

Afridi is what - 35 now? He has lost it.

[Khabri420]

Afridi really crapping out

[RumiNYC]

lol ppl shud go ahead and youtube Afridis all those old glorious innings..that will heal some pain for sure ;)

[Gollum]

Afridi is toast. If you wanna play him, play him as a bowler and send him at #11.

[Uzzy]

And people actually thought England are worse than us. No other team worse than pakistan now. Even minnows are doing better

[Gabbar Singh]

Where is the real Shahid Afridi? This one seems to be an imposter.

[IMMY69]

whos worse butt or afridi!

its too close to call

[Inswinging Yorker]

i never knew pak was so bad

[checkers.llvllaster]

Afridi has a Strike rate of 45 :)) :)))

[saqlain]

Where are Afridi supporters????

[alybaba]

The era of boom boom Afridi is over, strike rate of 45

[mooz]

we dont deserve to go to the next round

Actually we are pretty much out of the tournament already. We will probably need to beat the Netherlands by 60+ runs to get through. That is not happening with this team.

[saqlain]

14.2
Wright to Shahid Afridi, no run, another swing and a miss. Afridi is not the batsman he once was. He doesn't seem to be watching the ball, at all...

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

the fielding of engalnd has been enthusiastic

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

yayyy...afridi got a single off 3 balls

[saeed-sohail]

write this date down guys this is the day when afridi hitting powers were laid to rest.

[hashman]

we need another 50 in the next 5 overs to have any chance of progressing to the next stage. That is only IF the game against Netherlands is not rained out

[Phuzz]

80 off 5 overs needed.. the impossible.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

pakistan 100 up

84 needs from 30 ball

[Inswinging Yorker]

if this is how pak is playing then better they are eliminated

[Rizwan25]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa
i think i m watchin ashes test....

[pak4life]

what a anti climax to the game

[RumiNYC]

5 over is remaining...top u gonna score around 55 more runs..

[ali110]

Misbah is still sitting out in the dug out. Great

[saqlain]

"If Afridi doesn't perform," threatens Muhammad Ismail, "I am going to call him DOOM DOOM Afridi from now on." You do that, sonny

[Phuzz]

afridi gone thank god.

[Gollum]

Whoever gave the name Boom Boom to Afridi should take it back.

[IAJ]

The biggest joke afridi finally gone

[Dhonian]

That is what old age does to people. Afridi has become buddhha!

[IMMY69]

and there goes afridi....finally laid to rest!

[RumiNYC]

lol and AFRIDI is out....awesome....

[Inswinger]

Good thing I didn't waste money on a stream.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

afridi gone poor effort

[Inswinging Yorker]

dunce afridi the big failure goessssssssssssssssss a sorry sight

[pakistani]

End Of Afridi

[Sparhawk]

Painful innings from Afridi comes to an end. That was painful to watch.... ouch!

Hes officially a bowler now. Not a bowling all rounder.

[saqlain]

I think this match is fixed.

[Gollum]

A truly 'sorry' innings said Bumble.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

5 of 2 overs

[Uzzy]

Brainless out

[Inswinging Yorker]

shittt snake afridi

[invincible]

Afridi released from his misery really ...

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to aim for 165

[DonJee]

pakistan can still go through, providing they beat holland and beat them comprehensively!

but again it'll rain on tuesday!!

[BDfanforever]

Pakistan have to bat first against NED and post like 200+.

[checkers.llvllaster]

This is hillarious stuff, where are all Afridi supporters now? The guy can't even hit at all now...SR of 41.6? :)) Even the commentators were making fun of him...

[Inswinger]

Come on Misbah. At least let us get 60 runs here.

[Inswinging Yorker]

Brainless out

were u surprised?

[Sparhawk]

Wait a minute im over reacting. I just remembered he was one of our top scorers against Australia... ok hes back to being a bowling all rounder.

[ali110]

When every tom dick and harry is hitting sixes and our own beasts are handing them catches.

[ECB]

Thank God, Afridi is out of his misery..whats this..don't we have bloody talent ..why let him play

[RumiNYC]

lol this is nothing new...AFRIDI cant play a match savior innings....he shud have OPEN me thinks

[Dhonian]

Wasim saying blessing disguise Afridi got out :D

[hashman]

d********d stayed all taht long just to cough up a catch like that. Completely useless. it mite of been an off day with the ball but if it continues then Saeed Ajmal is a worthy enough replacement for Afridi in ODIS allowing for Yousuf or Fawad to come into the team.

[qaiser]

forget pakistan for this tournament. I am supporting India for this t20
holland beating england had been tragic for pakistan

[Phuzz]

heavy showers forecast for tuesday

[12thMan]

Well England looks set to go to next round.
Pakistan needs 84 from 29 balls with 5 wickets in hand

Pakistan will have to beat Holland with 2 runs better then the loss today

[saeed-sohail]

need to score at least 60 in last overs to have a any chance of staying in this tournament .

[Monsee]

Pakistan seemed to have given up a while ago...now they are just playing to make it look closer than it ever was; pathetic

[IAJ]

Has the ground become bigger after the innings break???

[Inswinger]

Misbah we need some quick runs!!

[jusarrived]

pak needs to be little smart here , win looks unlikely ..they have 4+ overs left ...instead of getting out going for win , try to get 30-40 in those overs ...a big loss will hurt them bad

[Inswinging Yorker]

its really tough

[bantu]

Afridi is what - 35 now? He has lost it.

You.... out of your mind....... he is just 16 going on to 17

[BDfanforever]

Well you can't accept much from Mr.Mohammad Ashrafool's twin brother Mr. Shahid Afool.

[12thMan]

forget pakistan for this tournament. I am supporting India for this t20
holland beating england had been tragic for pakistanIndia-SA final will be good as it looks like Pakistan is out

[RumiNYC]

Bangla team hit 7 SIXES in their innings...PAK has 0 so far ;)

[pak4life]

heavy showers forecast for tuesday

heavy showers were forecast for today too

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak r no match for india

[Sparhawk]

Message to wrist slitters:

Next match is against Netherlands. Aamer, Gul and Afridi coul bowl them out for 100 so we might still make it on run rate.

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

haha...we can't even hit a six..

[IMMY69]

dear oh dear...

anyway i enjoyed the tourney - i thought the national anthems were class..real buzz..i'll try to hold that in my heart...

[ECB]

Well England looks set to go to next round.
Pakistan needs 84 from 29 balls with 5 wickets in hand

Pakistan will have to beat Holland with 2 runs better then the loss today

can u explain that

[IAJ]

what is misbah doing?

[Sparhawk]

Misbah plays an impeccable straight bat defensive shot! But why?

[saqlain]

what is the score now

[adilmomin]

suddenly the ground has become bigger...lol

[b0wld]

Well in an interview Afridi stated that whenever he wants to slog a ball he keeps his eyes shut and leaves res t to hi bat, fate, god and the bowler bowling rubbish ball

[CricVet]

Man, what stinker; went to watch a game after a long time, and then this :P

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

no hunger display by pakistan

[mooz]

while Afridi's inning was statistically one of the worst in the history of T20, the blame for this poor batting performance lies squarely on YK and Malik. What choice did Afridi have but to swing at everything.

[Inswinger]

Misbah kuch karo...

[Inswinging Yorker]

mannnn **** cricket at its best

[iZeeshan]

Surely Fawad is a must now?

[Inswinger]

Younis Khan and Intikhab Alam deserve to be canned.

[Inswinging Yorker]

while Afridi's inning was statistically one of the worst in the history of T20, the blame for this poor batting performance lies squarely on YK and Malik. What choice did Afridi have but to swing at everything.

u r rite

[sohaibsyed]

NRR is gonna be awful to

[hashman]

thats it good stuff guys. Just tuk tuk the ball around. We will get to 130 by the end of the innings

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

spinner conceed just 51 over from 8 overs

[saqlain]

All rather pedestrian from Pakistan here. Singles and twos are nowhere near enough

[Sparhawk]

Incredible six by Misbah

[abc_to_xyz]

Finally! 1st six by Misbah... Some hard hitting...

[saeed-sohail]

lol even luke write is hard to get away.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

1st 6 by misbah

[Gollum]

Surely Fawad is a must now?

Don't count on it. The way our selectors think Yasir might be replaced by Rao.

[Uzzy]

First six

[hashman]

about time we get a six. Thank You MISBAH

[Inswinger]

At least Misbah can still see the ball.

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

this team has lost the plot

we have kept on with these old morons for too long and we are seeing the results now

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

dropped bopara

[adilmomin]

unless the pcb pays **** players, we will see fixed matches

[iZeeshan]

SIX! yay.

[CricVet]

The 2 Butss tale is a bad bad omen for Pakistan. No Fawad Alam again :<
and wrong joker alam making decissions :<

[ECB]

pak r no match for india

why dont u **** off then

[IMMY69]

lol - 69 from 18 balls...

lol

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

poor effort by pakistan

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

come on pakistan!!!

[12thMan]

Well England looks set to go to next round.
Pakistan needs 84 from 29 balls with 5 wickets in hand

Pakistan will have to beat Holland with 2 runs better then the loss today

can u explain thatIf Pak-Holland is a match and IF Pakistan wins then it goes to NRR. Pakistan right now are way behind both teams. So Pakistan has to make up for NRR today and add couple of runs to be above Holland who are at 0.05 NRR now

[Savak]

while Afridi's inning was statistically one of the worst in the history of T20, the blame for this poor batting performance lies squarely on YK and Malik. What choice did Afridi have but to swing at everything.

Why does Afridi have to go in these crisis situations all the time? I mean the pressure of his own lack of runs and the situation in which he is sent will always get to him. I am telling you guys, the only solution to Afridi getting back to his destructive best is to send him opening and tell him to blast away and assure him he will continue to open non stop for six consecutive months so that his fear of failure goes away.

[Dhonian]

heavy showers forecast for tuesday

:afridi

[RumiNYC]

so were we entertained or disheartened today ?????

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak should go home

[ucilite]

while Afridi's inning was statistically one of the worst in the history of T20, the blame for this poor batting performance lies squarely on YK and Malik. What choice did Afridi have but to swing at everything.

hahah...as if Afrdi wasn't going to swing at everything if the situation was any better. pathetic simply pathetic!

[IMMY69]

dear oh dear oh dear....

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

misbah gone

at least he had a go unlike the other muppets

[abc_to_xyz]

and we are on our way... to LOSE the game..

[hashman]

Fudge this sheet man, the 07 finalists gone first round.

[iZeeshan]

The problem is that the damn Pak NDL game might get rained out!

[tauseefm]

so were we entertained or disheartened today ?????
Humiliated :ibutt

[Inswinger]

Younis Khan is the biggest baboon ever. All talk and when it comes to tactics it's the same crap over and over again.

[Inswinging Yorker]

i might be supporting holland after an awful display

[ECB]

[QUOTE=ECB]If Pak-Holland is a match and IF Pakistan wins then it goes to NRR. Pakistan right now are way behind both teams. So Pakistan has to make up for NRR today and add couple of runs to be above Holland who are at 0.05 NRR now

yes, I was hoping to see the calculation

isnt it like england and holland were almost same in 20 overs so if pak beat holland by chasing their score quickly, we go through

[the Great Khan]

can't blame malik or yk..we needed to get a fast start but we couldn't...

[pak4life]

get atleast 150!

[Sparhawk]

hahah...as if Afrdi wasn't going to swing at everything if the situation was any better. pathetic simply pathetic!

Your information on the right is quite depressing dude

[Inswinger]

We deserve to get thumped by Ned.

[Gollum]

Why does Afridi have to go in these crisis situations all the time? I mean the pressure of his own lack of runs and the situation in which he is sent will always get to him. I am telling you guys, the only solution to Afridi getting back to his destructive best is to send him opening and tell him to blast away and assure him he will continue to open non stop for six consecutive months so that his fear of failure goes away.

Excuses begin.

[mooz]

Pakistan have to bat first against NED and post like 200+.

They will need 50 overs and 18 batsmen to get to 200.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

yasir arafat comes of 2

[iZeeshan]

How much will we have to beat Netherlands by to get through?

[checkers.llvllaster]

SO this is the plan that YK and Inti were talking about...

[filosofee]

I guess few will brave the weather for Pakistan's Holland encounter at Lords on Tuesday, especially as they could repeat the 2007 WC ignominy, and lose as they did to Ireland then

[observer1]

lol, not surprised, what do you expect when your best players are banned and you have to rely on 17 year olds

[pakistani]

The problem is that the damn Pak NDL game might get rained out!

even if it doesent rain we dont even know if we can beat Holland

[Gooner]

Rubbish yet again! All aspects of our game has been poor. Once again, what has Alam done as a coach to get the best out of our players? What has our bowling coach been doing? Fielding? ahh need i say more.

[rubel_18]

Pakistan have been playing poorly each game they play

[iafzal]

by about 40 runs
as we will lose by around tha much.
Also 40 euates to 2rpo

[Sparhawk]

How much will we have to beat Netherlands by to get through?

About 2 runs more than Eng beat us by today.

If we can get the margin under 40 i think we have a shot

[Sparhawk]

Razzaq would have made such a difference in this team

[mooz]

The problem is that the damn Pak NDL game might get rained out!

I don't think we will find the Netherlands easy to beat. Certainly not by 50-60 runs.

[IMMY69]

About 2 runs more than Eng beat us by today.

If we can get the margin under 40 i think we have a shot

jesus....

not holdiong my breath

[tauseefm]

we won't be able to beat ND by 50 runs

[Sparhawk]

Defensive shot by Arafat

EVERY RUN IS CRUCIAL what are you doing????

[hashman]

Wasim what are they gonna do by sitting down. All they will do is bring back the same team. Same losers in Butt, Shehzad. But there will be no change in the squad.

I know the blokes in 1992 had talent, but if this is how Inti coached, then what a bloody crazy captain person Imran was. So much for teh dummy captain following Imrans footsteps

[mooz]

Razzaq would have made such a difference in this team

seriously dude give it up already. The ICL people are no better than this lot.

[tauseefm]

go fcuk yourself INTI and younis khan

sorry mods i am mad :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:

[12thMan]

How much will we have to beat Netherlands by to get through?can't be told until the match is over looking at score now I will say 60 runs or chase the score in 14 overs. Pakistan needs to get 20 runs even now if they are thinking

[ECB]

does wasim ever say anything positive? he always starts negative

[Inswinger]

As of now we have a -3 RR.

[Inswinger]

We need 30 runs just to have any hope.

[Hasan]

who was the coach of Pakistan in the last t20 WC?

[Uzzy]

does wasim ever say anything positive? he always starts negative

Is there anything positive to say about these losers?

[alexjohn_tcr]

Younis Khan is still to hit a six !!

[Sparhawk]

Good leave Arafat :po:

why dont you defend the next one?

[Gooner]

does wasim ever say anything positive? he always starts negative
What positives have you seen in todays game? they've been rubbish!

[IMMY69]

who was the coach of Pakistan in the last t20 WC?

lawson...

[pak4life]

Does younus know anything about net run rate???????? why are we not making an effort to go for boundries.

[Khabri420]

Arafat showing what a great find he is

[mooz]

they really need to take about 20 runs of the next few balls.

[Sparhawk]

seriously dude give it up already. The ICL people are no better than this lot.

You dont think Razzaq is better than this?

[12thMan]

who was the coach of Pakistan in the last t20 WC?Lawson but he started as a coach 10 days before the T20 tournament.

[mooz]

are we playing in the same ground as the England batters? We just can't seem to reach the boundaries with our slogs.

[Hasan]

has the team improved since lawson left?

[FAM]

Go back to County, Arafat.

[RumiNYC]

sorry to say that but 2009 has been very poor for us...by all means...

[Khabri420]

Arafat gets out after playing a gem of an innings

[IMMY69]

here we go here we go...here we go wew we go..here we gooo oooo

[Indieview]

does wasim ever say anything positive? he always starts negative

You need to feel for him, The man is watching live and commentating, Do you think he would he pleased to see his Team's performance? absolutely not

[Inswinger]

This is a result of over coaching. When we were a strong side our players performed on talent alone. No coaching was needed. now we have all the talk about technique and line and length. Screw yourself coaches. Aqib, Inti, ad all the rest NCA coaches need to be fired. Bring in the real talented players to coahes these guys. Bring in the aggressive guys.

[mooz]

You dont think Razzaq is better than this?

razzaq didn't even have a place in the team when he defected to ICL. Neither was Imran Nazir or those other has-beens and never-beens.

[zulfiqar]

BCS MCS ***! The match is lost but we are now basically out of the tournament if they don't maximize their runs!!!

[Khabri420]

Will YK get Man of the Match?

[observer1]

they really need to take about 20 runs of the next few balls.

Sorry dude, but i disagree.

The majority of the ICL players can walk in to this sorry excuse for a team...

Inzamam
Mohammed Yousuf
Imran Nazir
Rana
Abdul-Razzaq
Azhar Mahmood
Saqlain Mushtaq

[iafzal]

we will not need to win ny about 60 against Holland as we have not really made any runs in the last few overs.

[Sparhawk]

Theres a 55 meter boundary somewhere on this ground but it seems to have eluded us all innings. KP hit 61 meter six to it somewhere around square leg

[RumiNYC]

younus khan playing a captain knock here lol stays unbeaten....

[12thMan]

How is Pakistan women's team doing?

[Lethal]

Shocking display of batting from Pakistan.

What are they playing at?

[IMMY69]

everybody now

here we go here we go...here we go here we go..here we gooo oooo

[Khabri420]

I think even Ejaz Butt can walk into this team!

[checkers.llvllaster]

Do these people not even think that they need runs in the last few overs...do they not have any thinking what so ever that if they don't take any runs then they will need to beat Netherlands even bigger?

[RumiNYC]

allrite enuff talking...where's the damn BLADE when u need one...time to start cutting some slittttttttttt....

[Lethal]

razzaq didn't even have a place in the team when he defected to ICL. Neither was Imran Nazir or those other has-beens and never-beens.

Oh please. The players we have at the moment are rubbish.

You talking out your back side.

[mooz]

Sorry dude, but i disagree.

The majority of the ICL players can walk in to this sorry excuse for a team...

Inzamam
Mohammed Yousuf
Imran Nazir
Rana
Abdul-Razzaq
Azhar Mahmood
Saqlain Mushtaq

Inzi is retired, MoYo is not T20 material, Razzaq and Nazir i touched upon. If Saqi can play why not Mushie, or Abdul Qadir?

[FAM]

Congrats England.

[MIG]

Black armband day for Pakistani cricket.

[pak4life]

48 runs is a massive deat in a 20/20

[Lethal]

I just feel sorry for fans who pay to watch such rubbish cricket from Pakistan

[Shahid A]

bumble said pakistan match on tuesday weather looks bad if it is a washout we go out

[IMMY69]

dear oh dear oh dear oh dear...

[Sparhawk]

48 runs is the margin... i think we can do this but the bowlers will have to bowl out of their skins.

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to beat holland by 50 runs

thats if we can beat holland :inzi

[mooz]

Do these people not even think that they need runs in the last few overs...do they not have any thinking what so ever that if they don't take any runs then they will need to beat Netherlands even bigger?

Totally agree. The coach/manager should have atleast emphasized that over the last 3-4 overs. Funny thing is that the capt YK was out there and he seemed oblivious also.

[iafzal]

so Pak will need to win by 52 runs in a 20 overs game against Holland to qualify for the next round.

I don't see that happening as this team is not capable to score above 150 in the form they are

[alithegreat]

A realllllllly reallllly crap captaincy from younis khan. Why on earth did he make arafta open and the piece of **it stayed in for three overs even after getting slogged all over the place.

The batting line up is bull shi*, butt and shahzad put a lot of pressure on other players and why on earth did misbah come in at no. 6.

No fawad alam

We will lose against netherlands as well and that wud be a great slap on the face for this team management so i hope we do lose.

even if go to the super 8s we still are gonna be beaten so whats the point of even getting behind the team who just cant learn from their mistakes

[IMMY69]

I just feel sorry for fans who pay to watch such rubbish cricket from Pakistan

dont blame the players...blame the state of of the country...

[Hasan]

This is a result of over coaching.

i thought the same when the catches were being dropped. These boys have been out in the field practising for so long they just do not have the energy in the match.

[Lethal]

we need to beat holland by 50 runs

thats if we can beat holland :inzi

Thats if the weather doesn't interfere.

InshaALLAH it doesn't.

[Showman]

Pakistan's chances of advancing don't look very good.

[Infinitee786]

even if we lost....we shudv tried to bring the scores as close as possible...but no1 not 1 person has tried to accelerate ....Y??!!? there is summat seriously wrong with this Pak setup...they lack common-sense...now they have to literally THRASH Netherlands...
Pak are just an incompetent bunch of bufoons

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

yk was non exstent in his command of his team when batting

[Inswinger]

Imagine the posts that would come up if it Malik was the captain and had done what Younis did today....

[RumiNYC]

first of all ...yasir arafat doesnt make sense....sure he knows the condition in England since he plays county..but Rao is a good economical bowler...

[Shahid A]

bye bye pakistan come on HOLLAND

[Khabri420]

Net RR for Pakistan - 2.4

Well done YK and Pakistan team

[b0wld]

MoYo is not T20 material

Kallis was a Test Player of T20 and now look at his batting..surpassed Smith today.. if you dont give MoYo a chance how will you know he is T20 material or not...

[12thMan]

48 runs is the margin... i think we can do this but the bowlers will have to bowl out of their skins.What's the point if the batsmen can't score when every other team has put a decent score in last week. Pakistan none.

[IMMY69]

i thought the same when the catches were being dropped. These boys have been out in the field practising for so long they just do not have the energy in the match.

lol.

yes overcoaching has done the trick!

[*sallu*]

that was one of the most pathetic performances ever by any pakistani side.

[filosofee]

Well done England.

[adilmomin]

i think yk sucks as a captain, all talk, imitate imran khan, please be dropped.

[Veteran]

Sad performance. The fielding was laughable. Butt needs to go. He looks totally uninterested in the field. Afridi's batting has become a joke. I think we are out of the tournament and even beating Netherlands won't be easy. Looking to the future Shehzad and Amir show promise.

[adarsh_bang]

bye bye pakistan come on HOLLAND


what if rain washes off the match on tuesday??? pak is out????? :(

[mooz]

Kallis was a Test Player of T20 and now look at his batting..surpassed Smith today.. if you dont give MoYo a chance how will you know he is T20 material or not...

I didn't follow the ICL at all but did MoYo do any thing noteworthy in the ICL?

[Khabri420]

no motivation at all for YK...forget about the rest of the team

[IMMY69]

stop criticising younis khan and the players...

our lack of international cricket - our stupid management and corrupt pcb coupled with inept first class system is the root couse of our problems...we are just simply not good enough...coleectively and individually...

[mooz]

lol.

yes overcoaching has done the trick!

Over-coaching or no coaching?

[Bilsher007]

Unbelievable unprofessional performance , they should pack their bags and go home. Just concede match to netherlands as they don't deserve to go through to the next stage.

Whether it was lack of practice as they have'nt played international cricket for 18 months or poor attitude, this was pathetic. No fight at all, butt, shezad, malik and younis played as if they we playing 50 over match .


I am just shell shocked. Heads should roll for sure..

[adarsh_bang]

and what if the match is reduced to 5 overs per side???? would pak still need to beat holland by 52 runs????? :13:

[Billy]

So England beat Pakistan, Windies beat Australia but lost to England... who lost to Holland.

So Holland are better than England, Australia, Pakistan and the West Indies.

[IMMY69]

can any pakistani hit a good six?? if it rains on tuesday we are out! younis with a very poor decision too bowl first on a flat pitch

[IMMY69]

Over-coaching or no coaching?


u know i am being sarcastic?

[*sallu*]

i think yk sucks as a captain, all talk, imitate imran khan, please be dropped.

yeah it is exactly his fault that he was the only batsmen in the team to score at a strike of about 140
it is his fault shahid afridi is friggin blind and cant touch a single ball
it is his fault salman butt and yasir arafat and aeed ajmal and dropping lollypops
it is his fault for all the free hits we gave
and it is his fault we dont have good new ball bowlers

i think just blame it all on the captain like always

what did i say i knew it

[saqlain]

I dont know why everyone here is blaming Pakistan. You should credit to England for a good display of bowling. Their bowling was top class, no wonder Pakistani batsmen couldnt play. If they were spraying balls and everything on the pads I am sure Pakistan would have scored more.

[Bilsher007]

I am justing watching sky sports and ian ward has confirmed that England have qualified for the next stage as they have walloped pakistan by 48 runs. Their net run nate is something like 1.13, we need to beat netherlands by huge margin if we are to qualify for next round.


I think pakistan team is going home.

[adarsh_bang]

agreed... should have batted first and put pressure... and imo batting fearlessly just doesn't work in t20..... got to play your shots... over caution is suicidal in this format.....

[checkers.llvllaster]

So, what was the excuse given in the post-match ceremony by YK?

Not that he is the only one to blame, but he did chose to bat first. He played through the innings with no urgency. He did chose the side and he chose the batting and bowling order. he has a lot to answer for in this game( as does pretty much every player)
