[Majestic_Inzi]

Well Saj bhai is one of afridi biggest fan on this board alongside Raz... Havent u see the photo where saj and afridi is together,

hand up who says Hameed a useless odi player..

 

[down4whatever]

fawad alam should've been given the chance inplace of hameed.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Malik looks under alot of pressure. A captains knock here wouldnt do his captaincy any harm.

 

[Noman]

hand up who says Hameed a useless odi player..

I dont think Hameed is a useless odi player, infact he is a very good odi player he just need to play his natural game,,, <pcb and inzi hasnt been to kind wiht hameed, he infact is one opener who has a sound technic around Pakistan,

 

[Yasin]

4 hehehe...yeha..wins on the way

 

[Straight Bat]

Whats the score?

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Wow Kamran once again off the pads. 21 off 16 balls so far. Kami looking good.

 

[Saj]

I'm a fan of Pakistani cricket Noman, rather than individual players. Afridi asked for that photo, so I obliged

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

105 required off 124 balls.

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

For those talking about "daal may kaala" ... I know it's in jest, but is there any bookie out there who is betting on Pakistan WINNING the game/series? If not, what's the point of there being any **** in this daal??!!

 

[cricketcrazy]

Malik is doing the same thing of not taking singles..

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Hahah comm just called him Kamran Akram

 

[tauseefm]

Listen detectives this is Malik's first match in charge, I'd leave this Afridi and Yousuf conspiracy theories alone for now.

i hope its only a theory warna "puri dall hi black nazar aa rahi thi"

I think what they mean is not playing well coz they both dont wanna play under Malik. Remember they both publicly wanted captaincy.

 

[Saj]

105 needed from 120 balls

 

[down4whatever]

I have a bad feeling about malik. He's putting more pressure on himself by not taking singles.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Both Akmal and Malik doing a good job at the moment, lets get behind the team for once rather then complaining about every little mistake.

whoa hang on there. If they play badly, they'll get dropped - simple as that.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

like waqars said we need to find someone like inzi, it gonna take time. let hope the selectors look the outside of PUNJAB. lol.

Yousaf did look in a bad mood, today. btw. i dont trust that afridi and yousaf.

 

[jattafridi]

beautiful stadium

 

[12thMan]

Pak 131-4 after 30 overs

 

[Saj]

I'll say it again, if players dont perform under Malik, they will find themselves watching future matches rather than playing in them.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

I was just explaing to obsessed in a good way why the consiparcy theorists think theres 'dhaal mein kuch kaala'.

 

[Noman]

moyo knows that he has scored 1700 runs in test cricket and inzi has retired Pakistan cant afford drop him..

 

[jattafridi]

101 needed cn we do it?

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

i bet the big man (inzi), is watching and saying"here we go again",

 

[Straight Bat]

131/4 at the moment

 

[Noman]

i bet the big man (inzi), is watching and saying"here we go again",

Yeah,,, he might think, it is better than he come back loll.

 

[Saj]

moyo knows that he has scored 1700 runs in test cricket and inzi has retired Pakistan cant afford drop him..

Nobody is undroppable in this new regime.

 

[jattafridi]

shoiab malik run out

 

[Yasin]

Out ! Disgusting !

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

moyo knows that he has scored 1700 runs in test cricket and inzi has retired Pakistan cant afford drop him..

Come off it now. The players are professional enough to know that the captain has been selcted now and thats it, they have to play under him. Theres no dhaal mein kaala s*** going on. Moyo got a good ball and Afridi is an overrated fielder and a bad runner anyway.

 

[tauseefm]

omg another run out.. what the hack is going on...

 

[Straight Bat]

maaan, we can't afford this

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Disaster!

 

[Saj]

can someone describe what happened?

 

[12thMan]

another runout. Malik gone. maybe players thought it was a boundry???

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

afridi will last one ball, games over fellows.

 

[jattafridi]

boom boom is here

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

A funny scene there. Malik was explaining something to Afridi as he came in to bat.

 

[Noman]

Come off it now. The players are professional enough to know that the captain has been selcted now and thats it, they have to play under him. Theres no dhaal mein kaala s*** going on. Moyo got a good ball and Afridi is an overrated fielder and a bad runner anyway.

I hope u are watching..

it was just a stright bowl,... when u are a star in the team, u cant afford to miss such bowls.

 

[Shahid A]

afridi will last one ball, games over fellows.

one ball?

u sure??

think again

 

[Amir]

can someone describe what happened?

I would, but it would contain alot of swearing. I do not want to tarnish PP's reputation. I am just so fed up with this. You can take crap players out of PAkistan, but you can' t crap out of Pakistan

 

[MIG]

I wonder what the Inzi Bashers are saying now ? Repeat after me - if batsmen continue to make fool out of themselves, the best captain in the world cant help you.

3 run outs so far.

 

[Gunner786]

target under 100 now

should be easy and akmal,afridi and razzaq should do it quie easily

 

[down4whatever]

i just knew it. When you don't score runs at a good rate, you will get out soon. It has been the theme of the day so far.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

can someone describe what happened?

Malik turnd blindly for the 3rd saw Kamran running and was then told to go back. The call was too late unfortunatly.

 

[Amir]

Malik was suppose to be the guy who bats through. Now its upto Akmal if he can handle that responsibility.

 

[Gunner786]

5000 runs for afridi!!

 

[MIG]

can someone describe what happened?

Ball almost went for four and Akmal called for the third... got Malik run out.

 

[RumiNYC]

WOW! 3 run out's ? Greattttttttt and why do i care about this game when my own team Bangladesh is getting bash ??? errrrrrr

 

[12thMan]

they need to bring the run box back so we can see the batsman too. and they need to improve the commentators. they need to comment on what is going on and not jharing philosophy or what they think and you miss what happening on the field. bring people from radio who can actually do the job

 

[Noman]

can someone describe what happened?

<u are lucky that u arent watching the gamell..

 

[Amir]

3 run outs so far.

Problem also is Talat Ali is ajust a stand in manager. He is not going to correct anything from the world cup because its too short a time. He probaly ust runs the regular drills.

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Afridi likes the sweep shot dusnt he?

 

[Amir]

Thats it Afridi, play sensible and he is doing it!

 

[Saj]

Malik turnd blindly for the 3rd saw Kamran running and was then told to go back. The call was too late unfortunatly.

Bad running and the Pak captaincy must go hand in hand I'm afraid

 

[Gunner786]

i so need to go to the toilet

was hoping to go when an over finishes but now afridi is here so i have to hold it in

 

[12thMan]

Problem also is Talat Ali is ajust a stand in manager.

manager is basically there to make handle the travel, hotel etc. has not much to do with the game

 

[Farrukh]

pak lost the match even when it was started. they seem tense. afraid of loosing. mark my words. they will loose

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Thats it Afridi, play sensible and he is doing it!

Malik did give him instructions

 

[Bailan]

Well, we'd see if Malik actually takes up the running between the wicket more seriously and properly ... after 15+ (since i started seeing the game) years of gross neglect

 

[Noman]

we really need to kick, afridi, moyo, butt,razzaq out of the tema..

 

[Farrukh]

3-0 to srilanka.. lol

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

i so need to go to the toilet

was hoping to go when an over finishes but now afridi is here so i have to hold it in

You only need to hold it in for another few mins

 

[Yasin]

Smacked for 4

 

[Shahid A]

someone must have a link please!

 

[Amir]

Malik did give him instructions

Dunno but he is playing the senior he should be!

 

[Noman]

pak lost the match even when it was started. they seem tense. afraid of loosing. mark my words. they will loose

that the spirit bro..

 

[Noman]

Ramiz Raja sound tense....lol

 

[Saj]

someone must have a link please!

You've posted that about 50 times, now give it a rest will you.

 

[Gunner786]

You only need to hold it in for another few mins

i so hope you are right

cos drinks break isnt too far away now
lol!!

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan needs 87 from 99 balls @ 5.3

 

[Faisal Akhtar]

Jayasuriya almost breaks his foot.

 

[Saj]

3-0 to srilanka.. lol

thats the spirit. Put this guy in charge as the coach.

 

[Gunner786]

am i seeing things right?

afridi trying very hard to play ball straight

 

[Bailan]

Afridi we can live with, because u rarely get to see him putting in less than 85% ... where as Razzaq works with no more than 60~65% ...

he was supposed to a premier world allrounder ... whatever happened to that.

 

[Saj]

am i seeing things right?

afridi trying very hard to play ball straight

He's going to see Pakistan home today, lead us to victory.

 

[Yasin]

Kamran doing a good job...needs to go on.
