3rd ODI: England v Pakistan (Eng innings)

[evertonfan]

I thought that people weren't allowed to call KP 'Cheaterson' on these bords anymore?

 

[Shayan]

think Rana just dropped KP

 

[Shayan]

nope, didnt carry

 

[aamir]

Almost caught and bowled.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Just short of Rana. No luck for him I am telling you

 

[Rana]

pieterson middling it well

 

[Raz]

86-2 after 16

 

[evertonfan]

Gosh you can see how out of form KP is! He's almost been out twice already!

 

[aamir]

last four by Rana were better line just outside off stump.

 

[Usman Chadda]

pieterson middling it well

Naa

 

[samisback]

Almost caught n bowled by ranaldihno

16 overs

86 for 2.

come on lads bouncers!!!

 

[Shayan]

4 to Bell, clipped through midwicket

 

[aamir]

Again straying down the leg.

 

[Usman Chadda]

MIG any more reverse-psychology?

Down the leg-side and flicked through mid-on for FOUR. Bell is still too slow for me

 

[iZeeshan]

Great shot, 4 runs

 

[Rana]

90-2

 

[samisback]

Gosh you can see how out of form KP is! He's almost been out twice already!

Out of form ? nah, he needs another chance at least to get in full flow

nice flick through mid on by belly..

90 for 2.

 

[Rana]

Shaoib is a brilliant fielder

 

[Raz]

90-2 after 17

 

[Rana]

so shud asif come back on?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bell's SR 68.88 so far. He should look to improve this, pitch is excellent for batting. IMO Pakistan shouldnt get Bell out purposefully

 

[samisback]

i always worry when bowlers like Rana and Razzaq bowl to someone like Pietersen, just get the feeling that Pietersen loves facing them

Dont Worry Ranaldihno wants him to score a few runs before he Embarrases KP infront of his home crowd , its a plan alright

31* bell .

90 for 2.

 

[Rana]

wat a shot!

 

[Raz]

Flicked for 4 by Pieterson

 

[evertonfan]

Pietersen plays a beauty; The kind of shot he played when he was in form against SL.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nice shot. Pietersen moves across the wicket and flicks through mid-on for FOUR

 

[Rana]

lovely fielding INZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[evertonfan]

Good fielding by...... INZI! Never thought i'd see that!

 

[Raz]

Great stop by Inzi, saves a certain 4!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Excellent fielding by Inzi. Dives full-length and stops a full-blooded drive

Seekho bacchon seekho

 

[Rana]

Rana just spraying it around, i think we need shaoib to bow a full over to pieterson, hes looking awfully confident!

 

[iZeeshan]

Very good drive, even better fielding

 

[samisback]

wow...inzi....brilliant..superb that!

 

[Raz]

95-2 after 18

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rana just spraying it around, i think we need shaoib to bow a full over to pieterson, hes looking awfully confident!

Rana just needs to stop bowling leg-side crap and he would be fine. He hasnt bowled a wide so far which is good

 

[Usman Chadda]

England RR: 5.28

Easy single to Pietersen

 

[Rana]

bell batting superbly none the less

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bell guides the ball through third-man for a single

 

[vortex619]

Naved-ul-Hasan to Pietersen, no run, driven hard and Inzamam ... yes, Inzamam, dives like an Italian centre foward in the penalty box to field and sits up with a slight grin on his face

) ) lovely comparison from cricinfo

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I think Ranas numbers up after this diabolical show.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England 99/2 in 18.2 overs

 

[Rana]

100 up

 

[evertonfan]

Gower, stop saying that England are on top! Your gonna put the frigging commentator's curse on us!

Why does Ian Bell do so well against Pakistan?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

bell batting superbly none the less

Bell is a 3rd rate player who is profiting from our third rate plans for him. 100-2 off 18.3

 

[Usman Chadda]

100 up for England

Ball not doing anything at all. No movement off the seam and no swing whatsoever

 

[iZeeshan]

Played third man again

300 up

 

[Amoeba]

Gosh you can see how out of form KP is! He's almost been out twice already!

Remember he only scores when he gets three chances. Today will be his day!

 

[Rana]

Gower, stop saying that England are on top! Your gonna put the frigging commentator's curse on us!

Why does Ian Bell do so well against Pakistan?

i have to say he is a top class batsmen

 

[evertonfan]

Bell is a 3rd rate player who is profiting from our third rate plans for him. 100-2 off 18.3

Is it really so hard for you to admit that he's a good player?

 

[Usman]

Why not try Asif since Peiterson is new to the crease, for an over or 2?

 

[samisback]

Played third man again

300 up

steady now, 100 up!

 

[iZeeshan]

Lets see some good batting if you are going to bat for once...how about some good shots?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Gower, stop saying that England are on top! Your gonna put the frigging commentator's curse on us!

Why does Ian Bell do so well against Pakistan?

He can continue batting the rest of the innings at this SR for all I care. Had this been another batsman, he would have sped away aswell

 

[iZeeshan]

steady now, 100 up!

mad bad...lol i didnt even now i screwed up

 

[badxhah]

how bout jus one over frm asif

 

[samisback]

Remember he only scores when he gets three chances. Today will be his day!

You are needed, in that ITS offical KP is Asif's Bunny thread

19 overs

100 for 2.

 

[evertonfan]

300 up

Haha! I wish!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Bell needs a slap or a kick or anything to make him realise that this aint a frigging test match!

 

[Rana]

bring on our partnership braker FREEDI

 

[samisback]

IAn BELL is the DRavid of England.

 

[Usman Chadda]

3 dot balls in a row for Rana

 

[iZeeshan]

bring on our partnership braker FREEDI

Wait for Collingwood

 

[evertonfan]

He can continue batting the rest of the innings at this SR for all I care. Had this been another batsman, he would have sped away aswell

I suppose the term 'anchor' means nothing to you then? You need at least one gritty player in your side; It's not all about boundaries you know.

 

[Rana]

stuck on 100-2

 

[BAADSHAH]

on bbc radio commentary - ramiz sayin that at the toss, inzi looked confused!!!
botham has said that inzi made the right decision to ball first - but ramiz has to attack inzi though

i know ramiz stood up for pakistan during the ball-tampering stuff - but i guess old habits die hard eh?

 

[Usman Chadda]

IAn BELL is the DRavid of England.

Much worse. Dravid's SR in ODIs is always in the 70s

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Is it really so hard for you to admit that he's a good player?

Look at his record against other opposition and then I'll admit to it.

 

[iZeeshan]

IAn BELL is the DRavid of England.

Dravid is more solid and even slower. ALso, Dravid doesn't have too many shots

 

[Rana]

first Maiden

 

[RealAles]

I would love to see the CHICKEN DANCE once more. No matter who gets KevinChitersen out.

 

[iZeeshan]

Maiden...

 

[Rana]

Ian Bell has a huge future for him

 

[Usman Chadda]

I suppose the term 'anchor' means nothing to you then? You need at least one gritty player in your side; It's not all about boundaries you know.

Arent anchors supposed to hold one end and keep up with the scoring? If you believe Bell is going good then I understand why England fans dont give a damn about ODIs, since they dont understand it!

 

[evertonfan]

Look at his record against other opposition and then I'll admit to it.

So averaging over a 100 against Pakistan means he is crap does it?

 

[iZeeshan]

I would love to see the CHICKEN DANCE once more. No matter who gets ********** out.

It would be awsome if Asif does it for once

 

[Rana]

its gopnna be a good match

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

3 dot balls in a row for Rana

3 boundaries coming soon from Rana! 100-2 off 20

 

[Rana]

poor throw

 

[Usman Chadda]

Younis shies at the stumps but misses

 

[Rana]

the thing with england is wen the ytry to be agressive, they fail
