2nd ODI-WI v Pak @ St Lucia - (Pak innings thread) [21/5/05]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

on 49 now malik and on striker

 

[Nauman]

Malik on 49 of 85 now, looks like we might get to 260+ they say a rough projected total is double the amount scored in 30 overs.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and there is his fifty

 

[z10]

hu sed malik cant play outside asia?

 

[Gasherbrum]

50 for malik, has been iffy and scratchy, but to his credit and with a fair bit of luck, he's still there and looks a lot better now.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

134-3 in 30

 

[Hydro]

malik gets his 50

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well z10 look how long it took him he looked real scratchy to his credit tho he has started looking better

 

[Mercenary]

malik on 51, just 17 runs away from a guaranteed Pakistan win!

 

[Nauman]

Malik will have to get a big ton now but most often he goes crazy after he reaches his 50 thus gives his wicket away.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol merc and his superstitions

 

[Gasherbrum]

looks like malik is going to be run out here

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

omg third umps for malik run out chance think hes gone imo

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yup he is gone...

 

[Hydro]

malik could be run out

 

[whyhkk]

So far mercenary's superstition has worked to perfection

 

[Gasherbrum]

direct hit, and malik is well short, big blow for pakistan as he was well set and looking good for another 30 odd runs in quick time. good work in the field.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hard fought fifty goes to waste

 

[Hydro]

malik gone run out

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

there goes the "guaranteed win merc"

 

[Gasherbrum]

yk in with much to prove but only to some posters here at PP.

 

[Hydro]

younsay in

 

[smoothcriminal]

What are you guys sad about? dont you see that we have a world class specialist batsmen at no.6, Younis Khan(sarcasm) who has a sensational average of 31

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

unfortunate for malik bravo was in the way and a few secs were wasted for malik trying to get around him

 

[z10]

now we will truly c wat y.khan is made of

 

[Usman]

That is about the 6th run out of this short tour. Simply throwing wickets away.

 

[Mercenary]

there goes the "guaranteed win merc"

damn, now we have to work for a win

 

[smoothcriminal]

haha rameez raja cracks me up

shoaib malik kee kitnee tareef karnee hay bhai? best no.3 in the world right now. Also Inzamam is the most complete batsmen in world cricket, thats too much of a statement

 

[Saj]

Inzi's the key here. He stops to the end or near the end and Pak will score 260 plus.

Its been a strange performance by the Pak batsmen and they have an average looking attack, look good.

 

[whyhkk]

well inzamam is definitely one of the most complete batsmen in the world. He can play any shot with ease.

 

[Rob H]

Sorry for putting FA cup stuff on this thread MODS. I will only talk about cricket now.
Inzi needs to be there at the end for Pak to get a decent score.

 

[tahaqureshi]

younis hasnt started off too well..

 

[Usman]

younis hasnt started off too well..

Why would u say that?

 

[Rob H]

Pak on course for 216 at there currant run rate

 

[Usman]

Pak on course for 216 at there currant run rate

If inzi is there to the end we will easily pass that. If not we will struggle to get to that.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Why would u say that?

Now it looks alright + +

 

[whyhkk]

you guys know that inzamam's odi bowling average is 21.33

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

uh wat just happened hit himself in the foot??

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wat the hell is younis doing to inzi....hit inzi on his big biscuit

 

[tahaqureshi]

If inzi is there to the end we will easily pass that. If not we will struggle to get to that.

This is the problem I want Pak to solve. We shouldnt be too reliant on inzi. Whether inzi goes or YK, we SHOULD still be able to reach the same score regardless.

 

[Gasherbrum]

ouch! inzi hit in an 'uncomfortable' area, but lucky that the pain wasn't compounded by an lbw decision, was very straight.

 

[smoothcriminal]

ooo inzamam i should rather say lucky

 

[Saj]

Inzi hit a painful blow in the box from a Chris Gayle full toss.

Close lbw too, maybe just missing leg stick.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

so he is retiring hurt???? NOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[smoothcriminal]

oh goodness he's off now.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Michael Holding: "The treatment inzi needs cannot be administered on the field" LOL!!!

 

[badxhah]

ONCH looks like his box is opened or soemthing

 

[Gasherbrum]

inzi going off ???? don't see that too often, smiles all around even on inzi's face, but he's going to maybe do a few appropriate stretches.

 

[tahaqureshi]

INZI OFF THE FIELD!!!!!!!!!! FOR TREATMENT!!!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

dujon ~ inzi will probably ask the physio to take away the pain but leave the swelling!!!11

 

[smoothcriminal]

haha

the coverage is so poor and biased i guess. the scorecard showed that 5 wickets have fallen down

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

if we are all feeling this pain wat must the wife of inzi be thinkin

 

[Gasherbrum]

inzi was looking dangerous until he missed that full toss, not good for pak, but he'll probably be back at the fall of the next wkt.

 

[tahaqureshi]

If this isnt too serious..I think its a blessing..

Razzaq can get some runs now..smash all around..

and then Inzi is more likely to finish off the innings, maybe we'll see some fireworks from him..

only IF he comes back ) )

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

while we are all smilin RAZZLLER SMACKS IT FOR 6!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

6 by razzaq!

 

[Saj]

powerful straight 6 by AR over long on. Need to get some momentum going now instaed of this rather lethargic wait and see approach.

 

[smoothcriminal]

WHAT A SHOT!

clearing his left leg like he always does. razzaq is the best when it comes to this. Typical razzaq smashing shot. hope we see more of it 2day

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

REVERSE sweep by younis and a good 3 runs there

 

[smoothcriminal]

that was close

 

[Imran_The Man!]

dujon ~ inzi will probably ask the physio to take away the pain but leave the swelling!!!11

LOL! Mad me snort tea out of my nose!

 

[Rob H]

WHAT A SHOT!

clearing his left leg like he always does. razzaq is the best when it comes to this. Typical razzaq smashing shot. hope we see more of it 2day

That's what i like to see

 

[Gasherbrum]

the bowling is fairly inoccuous, ideal for razzaq to open his arms up a hit a few lusty blows. problem is, still a fair bit of overs to go so the batsmen often fall into the trap of looking for singles rather than the odd boundary.

 

[Saj]

100 from the last 12 overs should be the Pak target.

 

[Gasherbrum]

bravo follows up a good yorker with a leg side full toss, flicked to fine leg for 4 by razzi

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another 4 by razzler!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

Well Iv seen Pak get 100 in the last 10 overs with this many wickets left..

So I think 300 should be our aim atleast

 

[smoothcriminal]

poor delivary. we'll take it! easy runs

 

[tahaqureshi]

A WIDE to go with it!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

10 runs off the 39th over

 

[smoothcriminal]

any1 else feel razzaq's in the GROOOVE today?

 

[DesiMD]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[DesiMD]
