England A 6/0 (4.0 ov)

 

[Schiller]

what is s nazir upto? how is he doing muddy?

 

[shikari]

nazir and arafat bowling

eng 4/0 in 2 overs

 

[shikari]

13/0 in 7.1 overs

 

[Muddaser]

Has just bowled 2 overs for 3 runs with 1 maiden.

Heard he wasnt selected cause he has put on some weight.

Still, he is more capable than Sami, Rana and Khalil.

 

[Muddaser]

England A 18/0 (8.0 ov)

Shahid Nazir 4 overs for 6 runs with 2 maidens.

 

[Schiller]

did he play in the frist two matches?/ any good muddy?
I am better than Khalil for petes sake

 

[Muddaser]

He gave 49 runs off his 10 overs in the first game.

Everyone was expensive.

Pakistan chased 270 in 45 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

Umar, this guy is a genuine swing bowler but he doesnt give the 4 ball every over like Rana.

Like noddy bhai said, around the 84mph mark.

Swings it like Banana according to Sameer who watched him in action a couple of months ago.

 

[Schiller]

well what can one say now. let us hope.
drop khalil is what I say and bring butt in

 

[Muddaser]

England A 28/0 (10.0 ov)

Riaz conceded 9 runs off his first over.

Shahid Nazir 5 overs for 7 runs.

 

[shikari]

riaz afridi's first over goin for 9 runs

eng 28/0 in 10

 

[Muddaser]

England 1 down.

Shahid Nazir 1 wicket for 10 off 6 overs.

 

[shikari]

solanki out
nazir got him

eng 36/ in 12

 

[Schiller]

well bowled, well bowled

 

[Muddaser]

England A 46/2 (15.0 ov)

Shahid Nazir 1 for 11 off 7 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

England A 58/3 (18.0 ov)

Yasir Arafat 2 for 13 off 6 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

|-R

 

[Muddaser]

Yasir Arafat 4 for 19 off 7.2 overs.

Riaz Afridi 2 for 31 off 6 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

England A 65/8 (20.5 ov)

Arafat takes another!

On a hat trick.

 

[Muddaser]

Yasir Arafat 5 for 19 off 8 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

England A 73/8 (22.0 ov)

 

[Schiller]

Please tell me arafat doesnt chuck?? :-D

 

[Muddaser]

No he doesnt.

A bowling all rounder.

Call him a poor mans Waqar Younis.

 

[ataullah]

Muddy,how do u rate yasir arafat?he bowled well in the 1st match too.

 

[Schiller]

ah ok, sounds good enough, the name sounds familiar almost as if he played against some team in the main pak team

 

[Muddaser]

A poor mans Waqar Younis.

Same action and very short guy. Can reserve it and has a very good yorker. Doesnt have Waqars speed though. 80-84mph at tops if you ask me.

He is better than Rao, Riaz, Asif and Khalil thats for sure.

 

[Muddaser]

Yes Umar, he has played a couple of ODIs for Pakistan before.

A couple of years ago in Sharjah.

 

[Schiller]

well hes taken his 6th wkt now and england a reeling.

whats gotten into him today

 

[Schiller]

ah ok muddy, but he didnt perform well did he?

 

[Muddaser]

Dont under-estimate him.

He took 5 wickets in an over a while ago.

 

[Schiller]

I like it, I like it. hes literally ripped Eng A apart

 

[Muddaser]

Took 2 wickets at 32.5 each.

 

[Muddaser]

79 ALL OUT.

 

[Lahoria]

Arafat has been simply brilliant this season and if he doesn't make the ODI team now it would be yet another blunder by the selection panel.

 

[Schiller]

yeeehawww !!!

that is one hell of a performance!!!!

and 2 at 32.5 ^
well hes certainly done well today
any idea if it was seam/swing??

 

[Schiller]

however r afridi took 3 as well, so..

 

[Muddaser]

Lahoria, According to reports, he is likely to make the ODI squad against India.


This performance should get him noticed further.

 

[ataullah]

Aj was saying Pakistan will get hammered.Do u remember Muddy?

 

[Muddaser]

Riaz conceded 40 runs off 7 overs.

Arafat took 6 for 24 off 9 overs.

Credit to Nazir for his tight spell.

1 for 11 off 7 overs.

 

[Muddaser]

Aj was saying Pakistan will get hammered.Do u remember Muddy?

AJ reckoned it was more likely that hell would freeze than Sami doing well in the 2nd innings.

v

 

[Lahoria]

Nazir should also be wondering why he is playing for the A team while Khalil is representing Pakistan but with Shabbir and Shoaib coming back soon, he probably won't be playing for Pakistan any time soon.

 

[Schiller]

cant understand for the life of me why Khalil is playing

 

[malikkhan]

Who was suppose to be the 5th bowler?

 

[Muddaser]

Ashar Zaidi.

 

[Lahoria]

I wonder how well he bowls cuz if he is half decent why not pick him instead of talunted Hafeez, though he does look overweight.

 

[Muddaser]

He is a Left Arm Medium pacer.

 

[offstump]

guys do u remember the young batsman yasir arafat? he isnt the same allrounder thats playing now, but when aamer sohail was selector he said this kid could be the answer to pak's #3 for a long time...i think he was really young though, like younger than 18 but i havent heard of him since

 

[Muddaser]

Pakistan A 3/0 (1.0 ov)

[Muddaser]

Pakistan A 16/0 (5.0 ov)

 

[Lightning]

Awesome stuff by yasir arafat and the pak A team! Yasir, going by the last few matches, looks a good allrounder. Muddy, u said he's really short...? How short can he be? After all it seems like he's a handy pacer.

 

[Muddaser]

He must be 5" 6/7 from what I've seen.
