WHERE IS EVERYONE?

 

[tahaqureshi]

I missed the 1st bit of the match because of the cup final. apart from the 2 wickets what else have i missed?

A Shoaib Malik very much at sea...poor foot movement and dropped by Gayle.

But I think he's losening up a bit now.

After the cup final finishes they will be

 

[Usman]

A lot of people probably left when we lost tow wickets, no faith in their team,.

 

[tahaqureshi]

When does the cup final finish?

 

[Rob H]

When does the cup final finish?

4:45 provideded there is no extra time

 

[Usman]

17.3 Hinds to Yousuf Youhana, one run, a run out chance missed by Sarwan
after a push to the off and a suicidal call by Youhana

What the hell are they doing?????????

 

[shabbu1]

lovely 4 by yoyo

 

[tahaqureshi]

Thats a while from now.. 1hour 45 min

 

[DM]

doesnt look like many peple r interested in this match

I honestly just think we're feeling the absence of Amjid J 2

 

[Rob H]

Thats a while from now.. 1hour 45 min

45 mins not 1 hour 45 mins. It's 4pm UK time

 

[shabbu1]

18.3 Collymore to Shoaib Malik, one run, a fumble by Marshall at point
prevents a run out chance at point

this incident and the 1 before....another run-out is on the cards with yoyo at the crease

 

[tahaqureshi]

true DM....where is he?

 

[Rob H]

Cup final 2nd half starting now. More people will disappear now

 

[DM]

no idea taha

must be something REALLY important 2

 

[Rob H]

77-2

 

[Romali_rotti]

AND AFRIDI MISSES OUT ON HIS 200 AGAIN,, Damn man this is starting to look more and more like sehwag.. But seriously I do Hope Afridi gets the 200, I want it to be a person from the sub continent rather than any other..

 

[tahaqureshi]

good rotation of strike..

singles being taken at will

 

[Rob H]

no idea taha

must be something REALLY important 2

His fingers probably fell off after all that typing

 

[Rob H]

OUT caught behind

 

[Gasherbrum]

yy given out ... looks unhappy at being caught behind, pakistan 81-3 after 20 as inzi walks in

 

[tahaqureshi]

) ) ) ) )

 

[Gasherbrum]

youhana was NOT out, there was a noise, but it was bat hitting pad. difficult for the umpire as everything was very close to each other (bat, pad, ball)

 

[tahaqureshi]

NOT OUT!!!!!!! STUPID UMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[z10]

yoyo gone

 

[sy]

oooh dodgey decision.

 

[Gasherbrum]

d. hair was the umpire there, error of judgement on his part.

 

[tahaqureshi]

I think the west indies are going to come out of their slump in world cricket by making US their first victims..

 

[Usman]

here we go again, seriously sometimes I think the umps have somthing against us! The support the Aussies and the English though!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wth that wasnt even close to a caught behind i mean it looked as if the keeps was appealing for stumping and all of a sudden the main umps puts his finger up....idiots...

 

[Usman]

20.3 Collymore to Shoaib Malik, no run, defends
Malik still unsure of himself and tentative
He is nervous for some reason!

 

[Nauman]

NOT OUT!!!!!!! STUPID UMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well lets give the umpire benefit of doubt here it was a tough decision, the bat pad and ball were all very close together.

 

[AsimL8]

need a 70-80 from inzi to make a reasonable score.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

watever happened to benefit of the doubt going to the batsmen in this new world of "giving the bowlers the wickets they deserve.."

 

[Rob H]

need a 70-80 from inzi to make a reasonable score.

A captains knock as they call it

 

[Gasherbrum]

2 successive fours for inzi, one behind point, the next one behind square leg.

 

[Hydro]

inzi cuts it for 4

 

[Hydro]

inzi pulls it for another 4

 

[Saj]

well I reckon 260 is a minimum requirement on this wicket. The pitch is a good one for batting and the outfield is lightning quick.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Now I can see the true class of inzi...amazing how good he is

 

[Hydro]

98/3 afta 24 overs

malik on 27

inzi on 13

 

[tahaqureshi]

inzi at a strike rate of 100

 

[Hydro]

100 up for pak

 

[Nauman]

Malik will have to stay there till the end he made a complete mess of things at the start going at 2 runs an over.

 

[Gasherbrum]

malik missing out again, half volley should've been put away, straight to the mid off fielder for no run. strike rate quite poor by him today.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good piece of fielding there though that was gonna go for four by inzi

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another outside edge by malik for 2 runs and then a good drive for another 2 good job 108/3 in 26 overs now

 

[Usman]

How much do u guys think pak can make from here?

 

[Hydro]

7 runs off the over pak r 108/3

 

[jalex382]

I think Malik is out there to prove a point, THAT HE CAN PLAY TEST MATCHES.LOL

 

[Usman]

Malik hits a 4!!!!!!!

 

[Hydro]

malik edges it for 4

 

[Rob H]

Inzi looking in good form. He is finding the runs very easily out there.

 

[Nauman]

LMAO @ Jalex I wouldnt be surprised if he was doing this.

 

[Hydro]

8 off the over

pak r 116/3

 

[Usman]

Gayle bowling

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

im predicting that inzi will get 11 000 loi runs within the next two matches...as i speak NOTHER EDGE BY MALIK and gone for four man he is really out of it today. Anyway he is now only 99 runs away from 11 000 (on 19 atm inzi)

 

[Nauman]

C Gayle brought into the attack now I hope Inzi doesnt play that special shot he played in the last game.

 

[Saj]

Chanderpaul seems to have gone on the defensive with only 4 men in the circle - which suits Pakistan.

Malik looking a lot better now.

 

[Gasherbrum]

6 singles off the next one, 122-3 after 28.

 

[Hydro]

6 off hte over

Pakistan 122-3 (28.0 Ovs)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 balls six singles nice....122-3 in 28 overs

 

[Rob H]

just picking the singles off Gayle at the moment

 

[Hydro]

bravo balling now

 

[Nauman]

D Bravo brought into the attack now and this guy has a nack of giving breakthroughs to WestIndies I hope that doesnt happen here.

 

[Nauman]

Wow Malik's strike rate is over 50 now, time to party fellows.

 

[Gasherbrum]

inzi looking very fluent

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lovely shot by malik

 

[Gasherbrum]

and now malik goes through mid on for 4

 

[Saj]

glorious on drive from Malik. really has played that shot well today.

 

[Hydro]

malik hits it for 4

he movese on to 47

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

48 now of malik inshallah he will make a big score today

 

[Hydro]

9 off the over

Pakistan 131-3 (29.0 Ovs)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ever since inzi has come malik has looked much more fluent he has made 25 off 28 in this partnership

 

[Hydro]

average first innings score is 255

 

[Saj]

well 126 deliveries left. Run a ball from here takes Pak to 257.

 

[Hydro]

malik move on to 49
