Same continent...close enough, no?

 

[Easa]

[PlanetPakistan]

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[CricketBuff]

azhar shd have come in ahead of razzy

 

[Easa]

Hall back in!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

[PlanetPakistan]

[Easa]

Afridi back on strike, facing up to Hall!

 

[Rob H]

out, pretty pathetic shot by Afridi. That was shocking. What a brain fart.

 

[Toony™®]

Same continent...close enough, no?

no match was in pak...

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

afridi out - damn

 

[Easa]

And gone, caught.

 

[CrickFan]

Normal Service restored ..Afridi back in the safe confines of dressing room

 

[darkmoon459]

Pakistan is done here

 

[Bailan]

well thats the end of that


he did the same thing .... trying to hit every ball out of the park

whenever he dosen't do that ... he does well

 

[Rob H]

Trying to pull a ball from outside offstump. 10 overs left. Why oh why would you do that. Typical Afridi.

 

[CrickFan]

Hall has delivered once again

 

[Uzzy]

Its amazing how great Pakistan can be one day and absolutely awful the next.

 

[Easa]

Mahmood comes out here..

 

[Pathan007]

. should've slapped on off side for 6.

 

[saghir]

azhar shd have come in ahead of razzy

azhar hasnt play international for 1-2 years

 

[DotCom]

200 will be tough now..

 

[Amir]

WOw what a dumb shot! Afridi back to his old ways. Maybe in the last innings the Africans were just bowling too full......what an idiot!

 

[darkmoon459]

Trying to pull a ball from outside offstump. 10 overs left. Why oh why would you do that. Typical Afridi.

Because its the effects of Naswar on pathan's brain.

 

[Easa]

[edited]. should've slapped on off side for 6.

Whats with the abusive language, yaar? We've all frustrated, but calm down.

 

[Amir]

WE could have went for 260...but looks like we are hoping for 230 now. We tend to lose our wickets in a flurry

 

[Osman]

the Afridi haters will soon be swarming all over this thread !!!

 

[Easa]

Afridi gets out and he is called names. What about Inzamam, Younis, Malik, Akmal, Nazir etc.

 

[DotCom]

Okay Mahmood is fat.. look at his belly...

he better put that weight behind his strokes..

 

[Amir]

Whats with the abusive language, yaar? We've all frustrated, but calm down.

Trust me EAsa, when you been watching Afridi this long....you tend to start getting mad.

 

[CricketBuff]

one shot too many by pathan afridi

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

177/7 off 41 overs

 

[Gunner786]

what kind of an idiot tries to pull a short ball way outside his off stump?

 

[DotCom]

umm... is this a Test match? atleast try to rotate...

 

[Bailan]

Azhar was pretty good at running between the wickets.

I wonder how he does with his new and improved weight.

 

[Amir]

Afridi gets out and he is called names. What about Inzamam, Younis, Malik, Akmal, Nazir etc.

We do call them names but Afridi' sshot was just atrocious. Sometimes don't let your blind following fool you. What a horrendous shot. Swinging the bat across the line to leg from a ball NIPPING away outside off stump.

Plus Afridi seems to consisently throw his wicket away so it is frustrating watching him bat. And you wanted him promoted above Razzaq?

 

[Pathan007]

Whats with the abusive language, yaar? We've all frustrated, but calm down.

that was really an awful shot yaar. he could've ezily slapped it over cover for 6or4.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

As soon as the rain came Pakistan lost their marbles....

 

[UJ]

We're still a chance for 240 ....but Razzaq will have to bat through

 

[Amir]

what kind of an idiot tries to pull a short ball way outside his off stump?

No no it sok. He is Afridi. Wes hould all defend him and tarnish rest of the team.

 

[CrickFan]

All the good work done by Yusuf and Malik down to nought

 

[Bailan]

if these two bat through, we will still get 260.

unless Razzaq is in his block mode

 

[DotCom]

what kind of an idiot tries to pull a short ball way outside his off stump?

ummm

every single cricketer has gotten out like that..

difference is Afridi repeats it too much..hehe

 

[ZM]

razzaq and azhar need to get pak upto 230/40

 

[Usman]

I hope these two bat sensibly so that we can bat for the entire 50 overs.

 

[DotCom]

drive for 1 by Mahmood .. looking solid..

 

[DotCom]

these 2 just need to BAT all the overs.. PLEASE just BAT ..

 

[CrickFan]

lucky 4 for Pakistan

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

inside edge for 4 to fine leg - azhar!!

 

[<< Rashid >>]

I thought Malik's shot was more disappointing than Afridi's...

 

[MIG]

if these two bat through, we will still get 260.

unless Razzaq is in his block mode

Razzaq is in his block mode...

 

[Bailan]

i think he played that shot on purpose .... inside edge for four ...

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

183/7 off 42 overs

 

[CrickFan]

Razzak the "allrounder" looking clueless at the moment

 

[Bailan]

swing and a miss .... not a bright idea... Razzaq

 

[Nauman]

and here I thought Afridi had started to mend his ways again then again a player who hasnt done anything for last 10 years how can I expect a dramatic turn around from him after 1 match.

 

[CrickFan]

and Razaak in the block mode

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

hall bowls 2 dot balls

 

[Oxy]

Typical Pak fans response - the same fans that were loving Afridi's madness the other day are now laying in to him - the only difference is he got away with it 2 days ago.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

hall to razzaq, another dot ball

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

pulled for 1 by razzaq

 

[Danishau]

This is a good opportunity for Azhar to impress english selectors ahead of their next ashes campaign.

"Did you know me and sajid have the same surname? I would be honoured to represent england. It has always been a dream of mine to hold up the ashes urn in the sun and smoke it" - Azhar Mahmood
