Yeah my thoughts exactly...everyone has only played 2, 3 or 4 matches...PoP where have you got your random semi final lineup from? The league is 12 games for each team remember?

[Afridi_Fan]

Let Mohsin come and post the pitch type.

[Omar Malik]

Mohsin, MashahAllah with the batting form am in and being called the best batsman of the Punjab Panthers team as of now I guess I should be batting within the top 5 in the team dont you think?!

[haroonrasheed320]

Hello & good evening sorry for coming late due to traffic Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone

[Prince of Pakistan]

The pitch for today’s game looks a travesty!




An early pitch report from Insaf Cheetah the resident ground man, Insaf hows the pitch?

A travesty!




Thanks Insaf, back to the studio

[Afridi_Fan]

Flat track? Batting pitch?

[Mohsin]

Yes

Flat= Batsman
Normal= Batsman AND Bowlers
Poor= Bowlers

[Omar Malik]

Btw, when does the game start?

[hasanb]

Insaf Cheetahs pitch report was a bit like Ali Williams weather reports on family guy.

[Mohsin]

I did but considering cricsim batsmen against the new ball are susceptible and you're (clearly) our best batsman i personally didnt see any reason to...disrupt things.

If it aint broken why fix it? And your batting clearly aint broken...

Someone got it! Thats what i aimed for LOL!

[Boi]

[Omar Malik]

Mohsin, surely its better not to disrupt things then!

[Afridi_Fan]

I'm on my way home. Will post my team in next one hour.

[Mohsin]

Security forces accompanying Afridi_Fan home before the match after Punjab supporters threaten to disrupt Bolan preparations

[hasanb]

Mohsin are those forces practicing for the Lions arrival by any chance?

Looking to outdo the security forces that we deployed outside our ground to keep away those N leaguers?

[Mohsin]

Oh trust me, you'll be wishing you didn’t have to come to Faisalabad. Our supporters weren’t best amused by your actions on the opening match...

[Boi]

Moshin, why the hell are you continuing to have Omar Malik's bowling average on 99??

[Mohsin]

Originally Posted by Boi Moshin, why the hell are you continuing to have Omar Malik's bowling average on 99??

Erm...because when the average goes upto 103 its kinda useless considering cricsim only allows 99 max...

[Boi]

How could his bowling average go upto 103, when hasnt even bowled this season?

[Afridi_Fan]

The bowling options will be.
McGrath.
Flintoff.
HuZi.
Xohaib.
Symonds.
Afridi_Fan.
Sachin.
So I don't think we will need any shortage in bowling.

[Afridi_Fan]

And yes Win the Toss and Bowl 1st.

[Afridi_Fan]

Some unrest in the Bolan Dressing room.

[Afridi_Fan]

LoL Bolan players are turning against their own team. True spirit of Pakistan Cricket team here.

Not Players, just a player. I'm a Bolanian through and through

[Afridi_Fan]

Not as much as the selectors of this team - after they ponder over the team record at the end of the tournament!


Just kidding yaaaaaaaaaaar --- you can play whoever you want!

I think seriously that I'll be sitting with you for the rest of season. You got a chance to play. For me all the chances seem to have gone down the drain.

[Boi]

Lovely over from Plasma. His spin bowling has been wonderful today...

41.1 Pakis'Best to Tendulkar, FOUR, Tendulkar is the key to Bolan's chances of getting 300.
41.2 Pakis'Best to Tendulkar, FOUR Wow! What a shot. Tendulkar is on fire!
41.5 Pakis'Best to Flintoff, FOUR. Freddie joins the party with a slog over square leg for four...

End of over 42 (14 runs)
BOLAN BRAVEHEARTS 221/6
(R/R: 5.26)
PakistanBest 2.0-0-17-0
Andrew Flintoff 8(16b 1X4)
Sachin Tendulkar 47(44b 6X4)

[Kray_jackson7]

[hasanb]

A lot of dissent in the Bolan ranks...

Oh well i guess i shouldnt be laughing...my team are performing like a rag tag bunch at the moment.

[Afridi_Fan]

I can give you the obvious reasons behind the decision, if you want to know join me on Msn.

[Omar Malik]

There surely is some unrest in the Bolan camp!
