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

[Gasherbrum]

razzaq bowled, yorker on off stump by collymore cleans him up, poor shot.

 

[Saj]

AR plays down the wrong line and gets bowled - shame as he was looking good and running well with YK.

 

[DesiMD]

10 over to go...can pakistan at least score 90 runs in last 10 overs??...what do u guys think...razzak's there.....younis there...akmal to come....and inzi might come back (hopefully he will)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

agaya wapis inzi bhai...well at least razzaq gave a nice lil boost

 

[tahaqureshi]

any1 else feel razzaq's in the GROOOVE today?

Hope it doesnt make his bowling screw up

 

[smoothcriminal]

oh my i guess i should always keep my mouth shut about our players

 

[Gasherbrum]

in comes inzi, walkig like he has a potato stuffed in his box!!!!1 comms having a good laugh in the background

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i think inzi has put a double guard warna may soch raha tha kay uska itna phoola phoola lag raha hai

 

[DesiMD]

SHOOT!!..inzi has to manage a good partnership and RUNS that shuld come fast

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o good and he has a runner as well will speed things up in running

 

[Usman]

Inzi or Kamran coming in?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

WAT THE HELL WERE OUR PLAYERS DOING!!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

inzi in, guess the physio did exactly as dujon suggested, swelling is still there...
what sort of runing was that, confusion all around

 

[smoothcriminal]

maybe he has an erection after getting treatment

 

[DesiMD]

inzi defends tha ball that got him earlier

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Man when I said GO, I didn't mean it literally.

C'mon Inzi! Do it for the team Big Man!

 

[smoothcriminal]

lol tony cozier

 

[DesiMD]

Man when I said GO, I didn't mean it literally.

C'mon Inzi! Do it for the team Big Man!

lol...looks like we gotta be careful with the words too!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

still taking singles?????

its already 41st over!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 an over isnt enuff and i dont think inzi has the capacity to come down and whack balls for 6's atm

 

[smoothcriminal]

i think they are playing well. i want them to attack viciously in the last 5 overs because we only have kamran akmal left and he isnt much of a batsmen in these kind of situations

 

[DesiMD]

6 an over isnt enuff and i dont think inzi has the capacity to come down and whack balls for 6's atm

yah...but 6 runs off every ball will ensure 250 atleast...and i think they should continue this tactic till 45 overs....225 till then would beo kay

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Man when I said GO, I didn't mean it literally.

C'mon Inzi! Do it for the team Big Man!

lol...looks like we gotta be careful with the words too!!

Heh, your not wrong!

 

[DesiMD]

6 an over isnt enuff and i dont think inzi has the capacity to come down and whack balls for 6's atm

197-5 after 42.1 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

6 runs of every ball...if only...*dreams*

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oo...that was a good shot by younis but nice fielding

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4!! yes thats it younis 9 off the over

 

[DesiMD]

6 runs of every ball...if only...*dreams*

lol..that was ofcourse a mistake....cuz 6 off every ball can nver take u to 250...it gonna be like 400 or something or beyond..lol...i meant 6 per over..sorry

 

[Gasherbrum]

4 heaved away by younis to midwicket, lots of bottom hand on that one

 

[smoothcriminal]

good job YO YO.

 

[tahaqureshi]

ihow is inzi looking out there?

comfortable again or still taking mini pauses? )

 

[DesiMD]

6 runs of every ball...if only...*dreams*

200 up for pakistan....5 down...inzi on 40

 

[MIG]

Chanderpaul mad allowing Shoaib as runner - surely he should have asked for another possibly slower runner ( as a fielding captain )?

 

[DesiMD]

6 runs of every ball...if only...*dreams*

four....................444444444444444....excellent...9 runs off the over...run rate improving fast

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

my prediction is 260-265

 

[tahaqureshi]

Salam MIG..where have you been?

 

[DesiMD]

Chanderpaul mad allowing Shoaib as runner - surely he should have asked for another possibly slower runner ( as a fielding captain )?

lol...chndrpal scared

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

44 gone 212-5 hmm...come on guys

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

8 an over from here is 260 we sould be aiming for that

 

[smoothcriminal]

260 is a reasonable score. inzi cannot move his feet, therefore i dont think we can rely on him hitting the big ones. i dont really think younis khan can fill in on that

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well i think shoaib is slower than razzler and that must've been the choices

 

[tahaqureshi]

I bet we'll get 270 Inshallah

 

[DesiMD]

260 is a reasonable score. inzi cannot move his feet, therefore i dont think we can rely on him hitting the big ones. i dont really think younis khan can fill in on that

just hope 260-70 comes up for pak...

 

[smoothcriminal]

i think shoaib is definately a faster runner than razzaq

 

[DesiMD]

i think shoaib is definately a faster runner than razzaq

he probably is....but he is not a good runner...he causes a lot of run outs i think...afridi would have been a better choice i think

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

217-5 in 45...not good enuff imo only 5 runs off the last ova

 

[Saj]

this isn't simply good enough. If Inzi's injury means that he cant play the big shots then YK should be making more of an effort. Singles are not enough at this stage.

30 balls left, need at least 45 runs off them.

 

[tahaqureshi]

45 complete...

if inzi feels he cant hit, he should either get out or retire hurt, for the sake of the team

 

[DesiMD]

5 overs...and should fire in this last over....they have akmal behind....and rana too..he is also a pretty good hitter....so pak should be looking to go over the top....only 5 over left!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 runs and its inzi's 50!!

 

[Gasherbrum]

penalties in the FA cup final on the other side

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ewll inzi is c aught out gr8 catch but i think this is wat shouuld have happened he wasnt able to hit anymore i donoo if he will be able to field

 

[tahaqureshi]

YK has playe dvery impressively wouldnt you say?

 

[DesiMD]

Good batting iNZI...keep it up...and make the runs come faster

 

[Gasherbrum]

inzi goes, huge drive and the edge flies to short third man. 222, wheres mr sheppard when you need him ?

 

[Gasherbrum]

scholes' penalty saved

 

[DesiMD]

hopes of scoring more than 250 dying out as Inzi leaves also

 

[tahaqureshi]

Kamran to come in, and he will be on strike...

I think we wont even get to 260..

MAYBE 250

 

[DesiMD]

lets c what can akmal do now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

man u gonna lose

 

[DesiMD]

man u gonna lose

talking to whom??

 

[tahaqureshi]

too many singles taken in the last over for my liking..


YK NEEDS TO FORGET HIS RECORD FOR FOUR OVERS AND JUST SLOG!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o i meant man United and it was to gasherbrum

 

[Gasherbrum]

vieira last penalty, if he scores, they win ....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

he scored

 

[DesiMD]

too many singles taken in the last over for my liking..


YK NEEDS TO FORGET HIS RECORD FOR FOUR OVERS AND JUST SLOG!!!!!!!!!

lol...younis isn't the man of that kind....he always plays a good supporting role...but not a natural striker of the ball

 

[Gasherbrum]

arsenal have won it !!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

cricinfo commentary:

Aslight diversion folk, about the 'other game' with a bigger ball. We have heard Arsenal have won the FA Cup In a penalty shoot-out

lol

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by kamran!

 

[DesiMD]

230-6 after 47 overs...3 overs to go

 

[Gasherbrum]

width and akmal slashes it over point for 4

 

[Hashim]

Younis khan is a test player, he needs to learn to launch the ball like razzaq and afridi.

 

[DesiMD]

lol

lol....i thought circinfo only liiked circket...lol...but watching FA cup is just waste of time...the only time i watch soccer is during the world cup that it!

lol

Akmal hits a beautiful 4

 

[tahaqureshi]

atleast he has kept a good strike rate throughout his innings..

I think by no means can we criticise his innings today..

almost to his fifty..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon last ball of 48th and is 238 hit a 4-6 for last ball

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

239 in 48...man...

 

[Gasherbrum]

hashim ~ afridi and razzaq's big hitting didnt get us much today, younis is a good foil to the two as he certainly has shown today.

 

[DesiMD]

atleast he has kept a good strike rate throughout his innings..

I think by no means can we criticise his innings today..

almost to his fifty..

no he is batting really well...at least he kept his wicket when everyone was getting out

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

239/6 off 48
