Listening to Live BBC commentary on:

[Shayan]

stifled appeal for lbw, too high

 

[Rana]

lb shpout, too high!

 

[iZeeshan]

Forgive my ignorance, what is using the crease?

 

[Rana]

8-1

 

[Rana]

3 off that over

 

[Raz]

8-1 after 2

 

[Daoud]

Forgive my ignorance, what is using the crease?

For a bowler its going wide on the crease then bowling close to the stumps. Keeping the batsman guessing by bowling at different angles

 

[aamir]

Good over by Asif

 

[Rana]

good fielding by Asif!

 

[iZeeshan]

I just thoght that after Shoaib got the wicket he wasn't running in realyl fast, more like fast jogging

 

[Rana]

11-1

 

[samisback]

Good first over from Asif, one wide, one run, 2 runs frm his first .

8 for 1 england

 

[samisback]

Shoaibyy drifts down the leg side again, 3 runs to strauss.

 

[Rana]

bell not atempting!

 

[samisback]

shoaib cheetah comes wider of the crease, Bell leaves.

 

[Rana]

i think shaoib is up to something!

 

[iZeeshan]

For a bowler its going wide on the crease then bowling close to the stumps. Keeping the batsman guessing by bowling at different angles

Aaah! that explains a lot of Asif

 

[ShowStopper]

2.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Bell, no run, short, on the legs and that's whipped away easily to the square leg boundary but it's cannoned back in by a sliding Asif YEAH

 

[RealAles]

Just heard the score. What a start for the Pakistani speedmeister!...

Develishly superb.

In Trescothics defense, I don't think anyone could have stopped that one.

 

[samisback]

Again comes wider of the crease, that bowl seemed like a slower one to me, but clocked at 88.9 mph .

 

[Rana]

4!

 

[samisback]

come on shoaiby one more wicket, get the chicken man in ASAP!!!

 

[Raz]

A bit of outswing for Shoaib and Bell edges for 4 to the third man boundary

 

[iZeeshan]

Both of a cut and an edge for 4

 

[ShowStopper]

shoaib cheetah comes wider of the crease, Bell leaves.

Salam Bro.
Yeah thats more like it

 

[Rana]

15-1 after 3 overs!

 

[MIG]

Hope we dont give too many runs in extras today

15/1

 

[samisback]

thick outside edge, 4 runs down to 3rd man , bell gets lucky.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wonderful fielding by Afridi, that looked 4!

 

[RealAles]

Bell - 4

ComeOn!

 

[samisback]

Sexy looking shot, straight to freedi though.

15 for 1 england .

3 overs.

 

[Rana]

i rekon shaoib shud bowl 5 overs, bring rana in, let shaoib go at the end to the tail, so he can pick up morewickets!

 

[iZeeshan]

Beauty stuff from Asif, nipping back...

 

[RealAles]

i rekon shaoib shud bowl 5 overs, bring rana in, let shaoib go at the end to the tail, so he can pick up morewickets!

Lets see how the game plans out.

It has only just begun.

 

[samisback]

Salam Bro.
Yeah thats more like it

waslam, good to see you around

comes down the track strauss, and gets beaten comprehensively by Asif cheetah

 

[Rana]

18-1, good run rate

 

[aamir]

What Bumble said about the field. As I have said before Inzi's field for ever game was decided many years ago in Multan.

 

[Rana]

it actually was a good wicket to bat on!

 

[Rana]

wide!

 

[Rana]

4 runs!

 

[samisback]

This left/Right combo is not letting our bowlers settle in, need to get rid of strauss i feels..
come on asif cheetey..

19 for 1 , 4 overs.

 

[Raz]

24-1, Asif concedes a boundary the last ball of the over.

 

[Rana]

24-1!

 

[samisback]

this is not asif like, wide n then a four.....come on asif dont put too much pressure on yourself lad.

 

[iZeeshan]

Full and whipped away for 4

 

[MIG]

24/1

Good scoring by Bell and Strauss

 

[samisback]

24 for 1

4 overs

 

[Rana]

3 runs!

 

[iZeeshan]

24-1!

Thats 6 an over for England

 

[Rana]

1 run!

 

[iZeeshan]

Bouncer adn 2

 

[samisback]

Leaking to many runs here, 3 runs again .

27 for 1

 

[Rana]

it actually is a good wicket!

 

[samisback]

Again down the leg side, 1 more run down to fine leg, come on boys bowl off stumpish !!!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i think this idea of putting opposition in in ODI's isn't gonna work every game...u gotta bat first put the score up....thats the way to go on flat tracks

 

[samisback]

it actually is a good wicket!

yes, ball coming onto the bat nicely .

 

[iZeeshan]

I guess Inzi just made that descion based on their previous tries

 

[MIG]

England doing well to counter attack here - just be happy that Tresco is gone - once he gets going he scores well !

 

[iZeeshan]

Slower yorker tried

 

[samisback]

slower ball, played well by Bell.


i feels, our boys are using to crease way too much in order to hit that right area.

 

[Raz]

29-1 after 5

 

[aamir]

If you have won the toss and you take even the second slip off at the end of your 4th over, then either you decision to bowl first was wrong or your decision to have defensive field in the fifth over is wrong <period>.

 

[iZeeshan]

Nips back into bell

 

[iZeeshan]

Why are they bowling so wide of the crease?

 

[Rana]

shaoib looks nackerd!

 

[samisback]

come on boys , 1 more wicket, and then its the chicken man.........

quick single to end the over.

29 for 1.

 

[samisback]

If you have won the toss and you take even the second slip off at the end of your 4th over, then either you decision to bowl first was wrong or your decision to have defensive field in the fifth over is wrong <period>.

Bowlers bowling both sides of the wicket, its as simple as !

 

[iZeeshan]

Why just one slip? These bowlers are upto something...

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pitch good for batting this morning. Why did Inzi insert England in

 

[Rana]

4 more!

 

[Rana]

Strauss looking prepared!
