that's the problem, we're just about losing with him not trying to do anything, god help us when he actually tries.

[Lethal]

So close to the match and I'm feeling sleepy.

hopefully some power hitting by Pakistan will get me awake

[Paradox]

Big blow to us if Asif is out of the game. He might not be a wicket-taking bowler in ODIs but he surely stops the run flow, as shown in the last game where he only gave 40 odd runs in his 10 overs and also took a wicket.

Gul will get smacked.

I know what your saying but we can't do much about it. Who are the other options? Gul is our next best bowler.

No reports that Asif in injured.

[Paradox]

On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see how the two Indian spinners, Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan, do in the second Test against Bangladesh.

The pace battery of Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra, however, shouldn't be underestimated.

Yeah, I guess, Gul is our next best bowler.
He'll be better than Asif in the death though - Asif's, although extremely disciplined, line and length bowling will just get smacked in the death as the only thing which stops the run flow is yorkers and yorkers only, which Gul does.

[saadjhussain]

gul's the guy we needed in the last match, he could have thrown in some yorkers and created dot balls.. oh wel

[asadee]

Asif is injured Moyo said so himself on Captain's corner on Geo

did he say what's wrong?

[cricfan967]

Yup, confirmed.

Asif will make way for Umar Gul, who will return to the playing eleven after sitting out of the Brisbane game where Pakistan opted for Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. The visitors are unlikely to make any changes to the batting order as they piled up a healthy 274 in the first one-dayer.

Straight from the horse's mouth there.

Oh well.. with every negative change, there comes a positive one - atleast Gul MIGHT just make a few more handy runs than Asif will with the bat, and also, Gul is a better death bowler than Asif no doubt

[asadee]

Foot injury I think

[Paradox]

Any idea how long Asif will be out for?
He needs to be back ASAP, hopefully in time for the next game.

[cricfan967]

Pakistan have suffered a blow ahead of the second ODI as pacer Mohammad Asif was almost ruled out of the game because of a thumb injury he suffered at the Gabba on Friday.

Fair enough.

You'd think that Geo would put it on their website to say Asif is injured. Surprised that Cricinfo have nothing too.

[Lethal]

I guess he is injured then.

Come on Gulla.

I'm doing well Insaaniyat. How are you bro? Yeah, big NFL day coming up. Would love a Colts-Vikings Super Bowl.

[Paradox]

Yeah, best of luck to Gul. A few of his spells in the Test series were quite good, so some signs of a comeback to form from him there.

[insaaniyat]

[tauseefm]

[Shezada]

congrats to yousuf for winning the toss and bowling, what was his reason?

[asadee]

Bad decision chasing in Sydney is hard

[cricfan967]

Originally Posted by Shezada congrats to yousuf for winning the toss and bowling, what was his reason?

Moisture in the pitch
Cloudy

[tahaqureshi]

let's not start lambasting Yousuf even before the first ball is bowled, he has valid reasons for electing to field first, fair enough

[pak4life]

bowling first in sydney with two spinners yousaf you will go down as a captain legend!

[Paradox]

OMG

Now does anyone notice something here?!?!

Sydney Test - rain before the game, overcast when game started
Sydney ODI - rain before the game, overcast when game started

Sydney Test - Pakistan bowled first, but in the end, a heartbreaking loss
Sydney Test - Pakistan also bowling first, a heartbreaking loss in store for them?!

Well you don't have to put these comment in people mouth. we know yusuf kitna pani main hay . We have already seen Yk as a captain and he is no doubt light years ahead of freakin brain dead moyo

Wrong decision. Chasing under light won't be good.

I am not missing a single ball and didn't miss it in the previous match either

[tauseefm]

[insaaniyat]

that is just mean

[Lethal]

Asif would've been Lethal on this wicket.

Rana and Aamer to open the bowling. I hope.

[Lethal]

Originally Posted by tauseefm Insaaniyat check my avatar? his face will be covered by the end of this series

Poor guy will be replaced at the end of the series.

No more lines.

[tauseefm]

Btw guys why Asif isn't playing?

[tahaqureshi]

Originally Posted by cricfan967 Anybody planning to watch the whole match in Canada?

yes .. will probably sleep at around 6ish

[JeeraBlade]

Has Willow started the stream? For some reason, I am having issues -- or they have not started yet.

[PapaBear]

What is wrong with Willow today? Why haven't they started the broadcast yet?

[insaaniyat]

Moyo needs to make up his mind, now he is blaming YK for field set up, bowlers for bowling when they took 3 early wickets and claiming there is no team unity(YK is back). I thought Moyo had more sense.

[tahaqureshi]

Lucky for you. It's 03:15am here in England.

[tahaqureshi]

8 mins to broadcast

[CricketBuff]

because pak U19 beat India yesterday

[insaaniyat]

they are usually late

[sali]

MoYo is scared of his batting falling like nine pins in the overcast conditions but it could be worst under light and showers later. If showers come, we may be screwed by DL.

[Lethal]

Originally Posted by tauseefm Btw guys why Asif isn't playing?

Injured hand.

[tauseefm]

Originally Posted by tahaqureshi your avatar was better before, now it looks like someone messed with the british flag

Its a countdown and moyo's face will be covered by the end of this series so his captaincy dream(i hope)

[insaaniyat]

Originally Posted by tahaqureshi your avatar was better before, now it looks like someone messed with the british flag

looks more like Moyo behind bar

[iZeeshan]

Could have really used Asif on this pitch, especially now that we are bowling first. Bahaaraal, let's see how it goes.
