a baseball coach wud not that bad an idea. but pcb shud hire those for younger guys like under 19 and A teams. not for national team
if u take inzi n yousaf out of the national team most are young!!!!!!!!n perhaps pindi as well.................rest could do with some serious feilding practice..esp danish kanneria, razzak n salman butt.they are hopelesss
at drinks.............lanka..............16 overs 74

lee comes back after drinks
 
yara sangakarra is established in intenational cricket for some time now

Kami has to perform consistantly for some period of time.
 
i think younger giys would benefit way more than the senior team

also pcb probably cant afford more nternation help for our national team now

your fav Nicholas is on cav

Bilal_Kureshi said:
oh really.. didnt know that about sanga.
I do agree that kam is a better keeper and batsman presently.
yeah he wishes to finish the degree ASAP...but currently coz of current cricket duties he says hard to find the time to do so..............simmo keeping it tight!!!! a near run out...........only if that had been a direct hit.lucky kumar sangakara............!!

85 for 1..comes down the track sanakara n smashes it on the ground for just one makes it 86 for 1 in 17.5 overs make that 90 with that 4 by marvan, cover drives finds the gap....18 overs n 90 for 1!

Kapugedera with 2 lovely sixes in that over, this kid looks useful.

Bahahahah what a hit, sends Brett Lee right out of the ground

btw how do u use them emotions for msn? @big mac

kid goes.......for a well played comeo though........bright future............270 lanka still 4 more balls to go ..hes out for 38
 
muurali goes as well ..8 down for 272.......1 ball to go ...dilshan would be on strike!!!

cav stares at Big Mac:|............do u know how to use them/copy them emotions onto msn?plz!
 
Don't think you can copy and paste them into MSN Messenger. If there is a way I'm not aware of one anyway.
 
Big Mac said:
What do you mean use those emotions for MSN?
u know them smileys......rock n roll ones..i have seen a few ppl use em on msn.....i try to copy as much as i can but on pp have found quiet a few new ones but dont know how to copy em to msn from ere!..

I think you can find smileys to download just for MSN but I don't think you can copy and paste ones from PP
 
Sri Lanka 274/8 (50.0 ov)

with bandara and murali in the side the sri lankans have a good chance of winning this match.
 
hmm might be bad news for vaas...might have done some damage to himself..while bowling the first ball..........nah hes up n runing again ! aussies are away anywa............gily off the mark with a single........hes the key i reckon lankans need to get rid of him quickly!
 
solid start by the aussies................no wicket for 36 in 7 overs gilly starting to open up with a 6 n 4 in the last over of vaas
 
If the Lankans do not start taking wickets, their efforts will be wasted.

This total is not going to challenge the Aussies. NOT unless wickets fall at regular intervals, and a lid is kept on the scoring.
 
Second Power Play.

What's new?! And then the third will follow immediately after, and so on and so forth....

Oh man...Gilly gone!!!!
 
2 wickes in 2 consecutive overs for the lankans first gilly caught at deep leg........simiar to jasuriyas but more towards the rops..............next over disaster for ponting run out without facing a ball.............srilanka right on top!!!!! 53 for 2 now in 11.3 overs
 
No. Sri Lanka not on top yet. They need at least 5 more wickets to sew this up. The Aussies won't capitulate as easily as many other teams would....

That dismissal of Ponting's was awfully unfortunate.
 
mulan! even for the likes of austrailia its difficult to chase , i again stress chase any total over 250!!!in any aus ground.....if they were batting first n in this situation would have been another story but chasing is a whole different ball game.................+ the pressure of not loosing in a final!!!!!theyhave a record to maintain!
outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt martoo run out as i speak..........64 for 3!:))):))):D

Cav....The Aussies have dug a little bit of a hole for themselves. They counted their chickens, before the eggs were even layed!!!!!!!

I think they prepared pitches, thinking it was gonna be the Safricans in the finals.

And now Lanka's bowlers are giving them back some of their own medicine.

But I'm sorry, although I don't wanna, I'm still backing the Aussies on this. Lanka need at least 3 more wickets to start thinking about a victory.
 
ur spot on with the wicket prep bit mulan i agree !!!! well aussies are living dangerously a couple of more close run out calls n an lbw shout..............91 for 3 in 19 overs.........well the only prob for lanka i see is a guy called mike hussey apart from that its in the bag ;-)
 
And the problem is.....Hussey is in the form of his life.

And Symonds is not gonna plod around either.

thats 5 now
 
hatrick of runouts for dilshan he deserves the man of the match now ............katich run out as well :))):)))
 
husseyyy run outttttttttttttt n make a wild guess by whom?????????????? 156 now for 6........with 113 more balls to go!
 
Weird, weird.....

What a turnaround by the Lankans!

But like I said....If they get wickets at regular intervals and stop the runs....In ODI's anything can happen, and usually does.
 
i hope the lankans can spring a surprise - just so they can move up in the odi table to sixth meaning england or maybe even india ( if hammered in odis) having to qualify!
 
I think this is more than an example of "anything can happen in ODIs".
SL is improving, Aus is really not that good a team.
Ofcourse pakistan can beat either one of these teams.
 
Aus slowly pulling it back ?

64 from 42 balls remaining

Murali got 2 overs, vass left one over.
Can Aussie do it ?
