Pakistan v Sri Lanka| World T20 | Lords |12/6/09

[iZeeshan]

9.25 an over required.

7 wickets.

Afridi and Alam to come.

Should be simple.

[Zaad]

keep going like this :)

[Mohsin]

He was a bowler...not a batsman!

He's our head coach....not a specialist bowling coach...not a specialist batting coach.

He cant tell the batsmen to be careful when a wicket has fallen?

[iZeeshan]

Malinga back.

This will be a make or break over.

[SAM'S]

main threat is Malinga's 3 overs remaining. he is playing a role ala Umar Gul in previous T20 WC

[invincible]

Malinga back.

This will be a make or break over.
Too early to say that ... But a wicket here will give SL the edge ...

[Inswinging Yorker]

good bouncer

[saqeeb90]

pls play sensibly with malinga

[Inswinging Yorker]

yorker

[saqeeb90]

agar afridi is jaga hota
us ne malinge ko be chake chorne the ye alag bat hai ke chacke lagte ya na..

[Inswinging Yorker]

xcellent bowlin by malinga

[iZeeshan]

Malinga bowling well.

Too well.

Need a boundary desperately.

[mnoman15]

What is wrong with Misbah ? Tuk Tuk always ...........

[Sparhawk]

Forget about M & M... Pumpkin head looks like SL most dangerous bowler.

[Inswinging Yorker]

ohhhh lucky for misbah to edge that

[saqeeb90]

bach gya
what a relief......

[iZeeshan]

:)) I thought he got BOWLED!

Come on...BOUNDARY!

[Inswinging Yorker]

xcellent over by slinger

[Inswinging Yorker]

Forget about M & M... Pumpkin head looks like SL most dangerous bowler.

pumkin head haaaaaa :)))

[iZeeshan]

Just five off the over.

10 an over now.

Still no six.

[Mercenary]

one of them needs to take a chance now, we need a couple of big overs. Afridi is out of form and Alam isnt a hitter.

[FM87]

now they need to take risk go for some big hitting

[saqeeb90]

need 69 from 42 ball almost 10 an over

[Zaad]

Alam can hit so can tanvir..

[Inswinging Yorker]

nice shot for 4444444444444444444444

[SAM'S]

Misbah needs to clean his mess, otherwise we are outta here

[saqeeb90]

now its time for good shots
4 in first ball

[iZeeshan]

one of them needs to take a chance now, we need a couple of big overs. Afridi is out of form and Alam isnt a hitter.
Alam can do anything.

But yea. I say it should be Miz

[iZeeshan]

Younus is brilliant. Four again

[FM87]

4 by yunus...he is good at sweeping shots

[iZeeshan]

Miz 18 (21) :O

[mnoman15]

So younis our best T20 player :))

[saqeeb90]

need atleat 15 runs in this over

[Mercenary]

Misbah moves too early allowing the bowler the change his line

[lalaji]

mashaallah MYK is playing well...

[pak4life]

need one big over of about 20 to take the pressure off

[iZeeshan]

Miz needs to stop with the Tuk-Tuk and go for a couple of big shots.

If he hits 2 or 3 boundaries and gets out, that's okay.

[saqeeb90]

9 so far...........
need a six

[Inswinger]

Younis proving that you don't have to be a blind slogger to be successful in T20.

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over for both teams pak still under pressure

[mnoman15]

Is Younis Khan the best sweeper of spinners in the world ? I guess so

[lalaji]

regardless of what happen here, i said that MYk is a better player than Sanga and the guy took offense to it ....

[mooz]

Miz needs to stop with the Tuk-Tuk and go for a couple of big shots.

If he hits 2 or 3 boundaries and gets out, that's okay.

if he just gets out it may still be OK.

[darkmoon459]

Younis is playing well, Keep it going YK.

[iZeeshan]

9 off the over.

RRR over 10 now.

Damit Misbah!

[cricketcrazy]

wht the heck Misbah is doing??

[lalaji]

Younis proving that you don't have to be a blind slogger to be successful in T20.


well we got quite a few of them in this team anyway..:):)

[Inswinging Yorker]

Younis proving that you don't have to be a blind slogger to be successful in T20.

he is havin funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :))) :)

[cricketcrazy]

NO boundary for Misbah in 22 balls?

[Archie]

if they dont start hitting we will looose

[Serendipity]

need 2 good overs now before rr is toomuch but dont lose a wicket

[saqeeb90]

14 overs
91/3
pak still under pressure
need 10 run an over..
we can't wait till last over...

[mnoman15]

We need ONE big over in next 2 overs ....

[iZeeshan]

he is havin funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :))) :)
:))) :))) :afridi

[12thMan]

91-3 after 14 overs. Pakistan need 60 from 30 balls

[Stewie]

seems like they are not going to worry as long as it is less than 10 an over.. (required RR that is)

[lalaji]

i think only one of these guys should be taking risk....Misbah should just give MYK strike...you can't have both guys going and lose..

[Inswinging Yorker]

shottttttttttttt for 4444444444444444444444444444444444

[pak4life]

younis shot for 4

[Serendipity]

10 an over required

[lalaji]

4444444444444 offfffff mendis..

[lalaji]

harsha ki pants gilli ho rahi hai..

[Inswinging Yorker]

good 2 runs

[Stewie]

you go YK

[kablooee87]

Best thing about these last few overs has been boundaries early in the overs.

[Inswinging Yorker]

misbah needs to press the gas

[saqeeb90]

boundary hurray..........
2 runns

[Veteran]

Who said Younus is not suited for 20-20?

[lalaji]

7 off 3....

[pak4life]

misbah needs to stay still moving around the crease is not helping him

[t_kaay]

i think they will wait till the 17th before going for full slogs

[ahmed16]

Pakistan hanging on by the skin of there teeth. Misbah!!!...And i thought this guy was a t20 specialist, Younus is doing more tha him.

[mooz]

does Misbah know something we don't?

[saqeeb90]

what is misbah doing?

[iZeeshan]

Misbah is killing us!

[abc_to_xyz]

YK is playing better then Misbah at this moment... Hope misbah will finish it off... B'cuz u can't leave the game on young Fawad!

[Inswinging Yorker]

misbah doin shitttt droppin the run rate

[Amjid Javed]

53 needed off 32 balls...

A big over or two need by pakistan!

[lalaji]

guys chilll...we got this....

[pak4life]

52 from 30 with 7 wickets

[FM87]

only 5 overs left...misbah has to take some risk now

[Stewie]

MISBAH 2 dot balls. what da hell

[saqeeb90]

again pak need a big over if it continues till last over they will loose this...

[Inswinging Yorker]

it will be difficult to score of malinga

[DonJee]

Pakistan tend to bottle it from here! LETS HOPE THEY DON'T TODAY!!

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 99/3 after 15 overs

52 needed off 30 balls.

[abc_to_xyz]

2 runs short.......

[iZeeshan]

Misbah better hit 2 sixes in the next over to make up for it!

[mnoman15]

Per some conspiracy theorists , Misbah is playing bad so when he gets out and asking rr is too much and then fawad would fail so it is all to keep fawad out

[Inswinging Yorker]

100 up

[mostakim]

i dont like misbahs method to leave the game for last 2 overs wht about he gets out of a misshit then new batsman comes in and all mess

[FM87]

butt :po:

[Sparhawk]

Wickets are no longer a problem. Sensible partnership but now they need to go crazy.. go for sixes

[Inswinging Yorker]

misbaha needs to find the boundary

[mnoman15]

Misbah is the BEST tuk tuk player

[Plasma]

Misbah needs to go for some hits. He is pissing me off.

[saqeeb90]

common misbah big shot

[Inswinging Yorker]

outttttttttttttttttt good he is out

[Inswinger]

Out.
Need a blitz here.

[Sparhawk]

Gone! Match going back in SL favor

[lalaji]

and misbah threw it away

[ali_ed2006]

damnit..

[pak4life]

misbah gone very poor innings he seems to have lost his power

[Inswinging Yorker]

ok r u putting your life on afridi hands?

[lalaji]

pick that fielder to perfection...

[imrank_88]

5 Boundries in 30 balls to get teh score at at least level to run a ball. they have tons of time. they are playing just fine

[iZeeshan]

SERIOUSLY? You get out before doing anything!

:@

[mnoman15]

So misbah is gone .... he f*cked the whole match and then got out

[Inswinging Yorker]

yea lame shot by misbah

[DonJee]

we need an afridi special today to win this or else BYE BYE!!

[Inswinging Yorker]

So misbah is gone .... he f*cked the whole match and then got out
:))) :))) :)))

[FM87]

now lets see if this time he does any wonder

[saqeeb90]

if afridi plays 3-4 sixes,
pak will again be in control..

[invincible]

what a match this is turning out to be ... Great value for money ... SL back on top I think ...

[lalaji]

ok r u putting your life on afridi hands?



yes ....a pathan wont let another pathan down....:):):

za lala nan sta raz da....

[Sparhawk]

Thats what you call doing all the hard work and then throwing it away. Fawad Alam will have some real pressure on him.

In fact Afridi is the next man him.. can he hit a couple of bug hits?

[waqar_ahmad]

Misbah did the right thing. He needed to have a go

[iZeeshan]

Send in 'The Fawad'

[Sparhawk]

Afridi gone first ball!

[Inswinging Yorker]

out like a dunce again pak losing it now

[Veteran]

Misbah gone. Didn't look confident.

[Amjid Javed]

Send Afridi in for fk sake!

[mnoman15]

Misbah no boundary in 28 balls ....

[Inswinger]

well played afridi

[FM87]

hahaha...what a loser

[lalaji]

well i guess he did..:):):)

[Jedi Knight]

afridi gone first ball

[pak4life]

what the heck this guy has lost it completely

[saqeeb90]

and afridi is here and gone,

[Inswinging Yorker]

shittt snake with the bat

[ali_ed2006]

Afridi does what he's best at, get out first ball.

[waqar_ahmad]

And as always, afridi cant do jack with the bat.

[Inswinger]

Match turned on its heels.

[DonJee]

ok NOW TO FAWAAD...LET SEE WHAT HE DOES!!!

[iZeeshan]

Gameover.

[Amjid Javed]

What the hell are pakistan bloody doing!

[fahimszd]

I simply can't understand why was he(Misbah) not able to play his shots out there, being set and having 7 wickets in hand, a mess?

[Cheguvera]

Thank you nick name Misbah for setting up a disastorous run chase...This ought to be your last outing in Pakistani colors with your limited batting ability and unlimited descend into old age...Bring in MoYo, he'd be ten times better then Misbah in any format of the game...

[Inswinging Yorker]

mura on a hattrik

[mooz]

how do you play 28 balls in a T20 game and not even get close to finding the boundary? really poor stuff from Misbah.

[hasanb]

dont blame these guys its the top order that messed up big time as usual and caused this.

[kablooee87]

lmao Afridi.

[waqar_ahmad]

It was a mistake sending in afridi. He is done and dusted. They should have sent in fawad

[mnoman15]

And the match is gone ... Stupid Misbah and silly run out of Kamran ....

[The Slogger]

only younis and fawad can save us now

[iZeeshan]

Unbelievable how bad we are.

[Archie]

its like Deja vu with Afiridi..................funny thing is that I was not even hoping that he would ddo good

[Cheguvera]

Afridi should bat at number eleven...

[Veteran]

Afridi first ball. Sadly predictable. Doesn't look good.

[iZeeshan]

Maybe Fawad is a miracle or godsend or something.

[invincible]

Gameover.
Younis still there ... and as long as he was in there - Pak should have sent in Alam and rotated the strike!

Tactical error by Pak gives SL a huge advantage ...

[Amir]

lmao Afridi.

lol that was my response. What a loser player. Now Fawad comes in at difficult time. Misbah wastes too many balls.

[adilmomin]

it takes razzaq three days to get here?? this was his game

[Sparhawk]

Run rate has shot up

[Inswinging Yorker]

killler over by mura

[DonJee]

SO WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED iS A FAWAD ALAM SPECIAL!!

[pak4life]

the over that probabably cost us the game

[darkmoon459]

Afridi is living on his past glory ,Pathetic display.

[Amjid Javed]

Sri lanka look like they have won this now!

[The Slogger]

Fawad Alam can slog

[Amir]

Younis still there ... and as long as he was in there - Pak should have sent in Alam and rotated the strike!

Tactical error by Pak gives SL a huge advantage ...

Afridi is just useless. People can't accept that he is nothing more than a tailender in the format made for him.

[ahmed16]

So much for "Misbah is our best T20 batsman". And Afridi, like Atherton said, its all reputation.

[iZeeshan]

If Fawad shines today, he should be in for good.

[Alibhai]

how do you play 28 balls in a T20 game and not even get close to finding the boundary? really poor stuff from Misbah.


I would put your over/under in a T20 game with no boundary at 119 balls.

...And I'll take the over.

[lalaji]

killler over by mura



not sure if it was all murli...

it has to do more with Misbah and Afridi...

[Inswinging Yorker]

slinger to go for the kill here

[invincible]

48 off 24 balls ... with 12 of them from Malinga ...

SL should win this !

[imrank_88]

paksitan still in this! these 2 play these 4 overs and they will win it!

[iZeeshan]

12 an over.

Come on Younis do something!

[pak4life]

Take Him Off Our Screen!!

[Sparhawk]

Fawad Alam can slog

Id love to see that, ive always imagined what it would be like for fawad to hit a big six

[TurkishCricketFan]

Afridi is a bowler first, forget about his batting, it's the opener who takes 3 balls to get a duck to blame, and the mid order batsmen who eats up so many deliveries for a strike rate of 0.80

[iZeeshan]

Get out of my face Butt

[Inswinger]

Salman Butt wants Afridi to stay at the crase longer.
:)))

[saqeeb90]

*** u did but..........

[Amjid Javed]

48 needed off 24 balls.

12 Runs per over!

[TurkishCricketFan]

dont attack malinga, attack the other 2 overs.

[Inswinging Yorker]

50 up for yk

[iZeeshan]

Really, really, need 2 boundaires from the over.

[Serendipity]

Cant Take Butt On My Face Ouuta Here, We Need A Release Shot As Nasser Will Call It, Sorry For Caps

[ahmed16]

To much pressure on Alam

[saqeeb90]

half centruy by younis

[Sparhawk]

Who else we got? Tanvir and Gul are no migs with the bat. Aamir's got some power in him he might be able to slog too.

YK gone.. damn it!!!!

[Inswinging Yorker]

outtttttttttttttttttttttt thats it for pak

[Uncle Sam]

Misbah ... Unbelievably under confident batting !!! He is not ready for T20

[PakPassionate]

Chalo bhai.....pishi ker k soo jao ab...

[pak4life]

game set match sri lanka

[ali_ed2006]

Game Over.

[The Slogger]

Younis out, WE SO MISS ABDUL RAZZAQ HERE :(

[Amir]

Lets hope SRL beat NZ...so essentially our match with NZ tomorrow becomes a virtual QF for us.

[mnoman15]

All gone .............

[Inswinger]

Why show Indians when a wicket falls? Would it not make more sense to show Sri Lankan fans?

[Inswinging Yorker]

what a pathetic sight for pak.

s/l marching home to victory

[iZeeshan]

Now THAT's game over.

[desi_larka420]

Afridi is the most talented donkey on the planet.......

[FM87]

this didgeridoo is really a dangerous bowler...

[saqeeb90]

thats it ........its all over now...
i totally blame misbah and butt for this...

[Zaad]

thats it its all over now!

[Inswinging Yorker]

Why show Indians when a wicket falls? Would it not make more sense to show Sri Lankan fans?

they want to make you guys angry :po:

[mooz]

I would put your over/under in a T20 game with no boundary at 119 balls.

...And I'll take the over.

HaHa
Alibhai ( also know as Michael Wilbon) returns to witness Misbah's last innings in Pakistani colors.

[iZeeshan]

I blame the loss on Misbah

[abc_to_xyz]

Fawad is there... Its not over yet...... We need to go BOOM BOOM after Malinga's over...

[asian_rulez]

this is depressing to watch, misbah fd up this game for us.

[ahmed16]

Just saw the Extras, Pakistanis could have restricted S lanka to 130, poor cricket expecially from Tanvir.

[Inswinging Yorker]

well tanvir owes pak 29 runs

[tauseefm]

Chalo bhai.....pishi ker k soo jao ab...
hahahah ap nay ker li hay?

[abc_to_xyz]

We are still in it... Don't just loose hope yet...

[Inswinging Yorker]

too late ....younis should have seen out this over

[Amir]

41 off 18...lol reminds me of Toronto when Fawad won us the game.

[iZeeshan]

41 from 18.

Joy.

[asian_rulez]

come on its all over what can fawad do on his own, misbah ruined it for us with those dot balls

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan have chocked here big time!

[iZeeshan]

41 off 18...lol reminds me of Toronto when Fawad won us the game.
Repeat performance?

[imrank_88]

you guys give up on pak to easily

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak seem to have given up

[waqar_ahmad]

Pak migh tlose this match, but what a knock from YK.

[iZeeshan]

FUll toss, shouldve been smashed

[Inswinging Yorker]

good shot for 4444444444444444444444444

[Amir]

you guys give up on pak to easily

More liek they give up too easily lol. We have too many guys who eat up dot balls and then think they can hit out after...only to get out (though they pull it off 1 in 10 times)

[Sparhawk]

444444444 to Fawad! Well done lad keep it going

[SAM'S]

I Don't think Fawad can do anything, he is no better than almighty Butt

[TurkishCricketFan]

time to attack.

[saqeeb90]

boundary.........
need sixes

[abc_to_xyz]

I will say this again that They can still win this..

[Inswinging Yorker]

too much pressure on pak here

[adilmomin]

pak just has it wrong, their mentality of keeping wickets in hand till the end and then slog is totally wrong. they need to start from the get go. And we dont have any hard hitter on the team

[Vegitto1]

I will say this again that They can still win this..

I like the optimism, but tht first over was a disaster for us in both innings!

[Sparhawk]

I Don't think Fawad can do anything, he is no better than almighty Butt

Yes he is

[mooz]

I will say this again that They can still win this..

and you say that because..?

[kablooee87]

We haven't hit a single 6 in the match.

[Sparhawk]

32 in 2 overs... yea good luck with that

[asian_rulez]

afridi - i swear if i ever saw him now i would get the same bat and hit him or better get shoaib to do it

[Inswinging Yorker]

sorry guys but its hopeless... 140 max i see

[DonJee]

I still have the feeling Pakistan will win from here...i dont know why!

[saqeeb90]

its all over .................
12 ball 33 runs impossible.....

[The Slogger]

Atleast the NRR wont be a huge problem if we lose

[SAM'S]

Yes he is
spanking club level bowlers is quite different than International ones

[iZeeshan]

Fawad really can;t do much anymore

[imrank_88]

More liek they give up too easily lol. We have too many guys who eat up dot balls and then think they can hit out after...only to get out (though they pull it off 1 in 10 times)
misbah and younis were batting fine, unlucky that they both got out. afridi made a mistake of going for it off the first ball. but guys on here give up if pakistan isnt hitting n e fours or sixes. you can play twenty20 and win games with singles and doubles as well. all we need is 7.5 runs an over. pak still in this game tho. how was finanace amir?

[Amjid Javed]

31 needed off 12 balls!

looks to steep a task this!

[abc_to_xyz]

He is better then but!

[waqar_ahmad]

Get as close to the total as possible. RR is very very important

[JustAnotherFan]

hmmm ... 33 of 12

[Sparhawk]

Will this put us out of the tournament?

[iZeeshan]

And Malinga to bowl...joy.

[Inswinging Yorker]

srilanka my team to win if westindies dont

[abc_to_xyz]

misbah and younis were batting fine, unlucky that they both got out. afridi made a mistake of going for it off the first ball. but guys on here give up if pakistan isnt hitting n e fours or sixes. you can play twenty20 and win games with singles and doubles as well. all we need is 7.5 runs an over. pak still in this game tho. how was finanace amir?


I've heard that he can bat abit... SO let see what he can do...

[iZeeshan]

Will this put us out of the tournament?
:)) Win against NZL and Ireland will virtually put us through.

[Stewie]

now we absolutely must beat NZ and Ireland. (if we lose this and it looks likely)

[12thMan]

Will this put us out of the tournament?Well Pakistan has to win against NZ with good margin and against Ireland with a big margin
