[PlanetPakistan]

Andrew the under-rated Hall in to the attack now!

 

[Usman]

by the way, is there any audio streaming of this match by any chance?

 

[12thMan]

I dont understand why people use the word BOWL as noun to describe the BALL ..

because English is a funny language so have fun with it

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

surely he would have made alot more then 13 then.

so all big scores are fault free are they nauman? u need some luck. He miscued a shot, a few days ago that would have been in the stands, any given day my friend! It's almost as if u were waiting for him to fail, all those shots that he has gone aerial on, its like u wanted him to fail, i cannot understand that!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

hmmm...Yousuf trying to go after hall!

 

[junaid78]

Aren't you suppose to be asleep?

Woolmer doesn't reply anymore and whatever the reason I don't blame him. As for this game, 270 will be enough.

you guys keeping him up stop talking to him let the man sleep

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

Aren't you suppose to be asleep?

old habits die hard brother!
It is almost 7:00 AM here in calgary and my 5 year old son will wake up anytime soon. no point sleeping the more I think about it. besides, I am enjoying a good discussion.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Andrew the under-rated Hall in to the attack now!

i could not agree more, the guy does not get the recognition he deserves sometimes, a useful all rounder

 

[Nauman]

Andrew the under-rated Hall in to the attack now!

Bot under rated, he is regarded as a rubbish bowler for a reason though our team has a habit of making heroes out of ordinary bowlers so dont be surprised.

 

[Rob H]

short wide and hammered for 4 by YK.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

four for younis...

 

[Easa]

hmmm...Yousuf trying to go after hall!

He hasn't forgotten that incident in 2003!

 

[Hash]

Yaar Nauman, as he will remember, almost became the President of Pakistan last month. He was very close. Possible 5 or 10 minutes longer and he would have got the job.

He can't possibly be wanting us to fail.

 

[Jonty]

wow nazir failed... i see the common reaction.. He can't score every match can he? What about Akmal? Give Nazir a chance..

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

good shot younus. bad ball by charles

 

[Salman]

Wide.. Short Dispatched for 4....

61-2

YK moves to 23

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Bot under rated, he is regarded as a rubbish bowler for a reason though our team has a habit of making heroes out of ordinary bowlers so dont be surprised.

are u waheed khan in disguise?

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

pak 61/2 after 15 overs..

 

[Easa]

Poor delivery and smashed for 4.

61/2

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nice shot by yk! 4 off hall

 

[Salman]

270 be a good total on here?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

61/2 off 15 overs! decnt start

partnership 40 off 56

 

[Hash]

270 be a good total on here?

They reckon it will be overcast later on, so quite possibly yes.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

270 be a good total on here?

that should suffice, especially with it being a D/N game.

 

[UJ]

Meanwhile...these two have managed to form a handy partnership...well done!

 

[Medic]

4444444

 

[Nauman]

They reckon it will be overcast later on, so quite possibly yes.

Also depends on which Rana Naveed turns up.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Bot under rated, he is regarded as a rubbish bowler for a reason though our team has a habit of making heroes out of ordinary bowlers so dont be surprised.

look at his record man....he does a better job than many specialist bowlers!

 

[Medic]

6 off the over

 

[Easa]

270 be a good total on here?

I'd think so. The average score on the ground is 240, and it is always tough to chase under lights.

I'd settle for that.

 

[Usman]

270 be a good total on here?

Well somebody earlier here said that the average score on this ground was around the 230 mark so if we can get 250, were probably in with a reasonably good chance with SA batting under lights.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

By the way, by sending in Kammy as opener, arent we wasting a space. I mean lets face it guys, Pakistan team is not saying their opener issue seriously anyways, as their approach of late has been to pack the side with allrounders.

 

[Hash]

Also depends on which Rana Naveed turns up.

Yeah. I also worry about Aseef. They should have rested him today.

 

[Jonty]

hopefully another foundation can be laid for afridi/razzaq/malik/mahmood - wow so many big hitters!

 

[DotCom]

I think 300 is needed to have that psycho advantage ..

b/c if its 270 or so.. they can play sensibly and then up the rate later..

 

[Hash]

By the way, by sending in Kammy as opener, arent we wasting a space. I mean lets face it guys, Pakistan team is not saying their opener issue seriously anyways, as their approach of late has been to pack the side with allrounders.

Actually it frees up a space for an extra batsman down the order.

Anyway go to sleep like you said you would.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

poor kammy only comes good one in ten times with the bat.

 

[Jonty]

there will be enough rest between this series and the world cup - lets win the series first.

 

[Rob H]

62/2 at the drinks break

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

pak 62-2 after 16 overs..

 

[darkmoon459]

Higest score on this ground ,is 335 pakistan vs SA , and 2nd higest is 274 SA vs AUS.

 

[Salman]

Drinks...

 

[CricketBuff]

I hate it when YK tries to steal a run after playing every ball

 

[Hash]

paani and supplement time

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Yeah. I also worry about Aseef. They should have rested him today.

i'd agree with u on that one, IMO he should have been rested for games 3,4 and possibly even the fifth if it was a dead rubber

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Cricbuzz's Commentary is jokes, two indians in a cupboard watching the match trying to give ball by ball commentary, its pure hilarious!!!

 

[Usman]

I think 300 is needed to have that psycho advantage ..

b/c if its 270 or so.. they can play sensibly and then up the rate later..

For that to happen we need everybody from here on to click so I suppose it could happen but we would need another Afridi spectacular.

 

[Easa]

@ drinks..

62/2

Y Khan
22(38)

M Yousuf*
20(25)

 

[CricketBuff]

poor kammy only comes good one in ten times with the bat.

he is not a specialist opener, just a makeshift

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

Actually it frees up a space for an extra batsman down the order.

Anyway go to sleep like you said you would.

maybe I can wake up in an hour to see some fireworks.. hopefully!

 

[Jonty]

Akmal and Rana seem to be the weak links at present

 

[DotCom]

For that to happen we need everybody from here on to click so I suppose it could happen but we would need another Afridi spectacular.

as I said earlier.. cant expect Afridi to do it agian..

Inzy/Razzaq/Mahmood

and also Malik ..

and RANA ..

they can score quick..

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nice shot by moyo, flicked for 2

 

[CricketBuff]

both batsmen on 22

 

[Easa]

maybe I can wake up in an hour to see some fireworks.. hopefully!

So go to sleep then. What are we waiting for?

 

[Easa]

Yousuf flicks for two, looks in fine form once again. So much for him failing on South African tracks..

 

[Usman]

he is not a specialist opener, just a makeshift

But the thing is that he is opening not because he is a specialist opener, but because the quality of our other openers is so horrific that he is just as likely to score at that possition than anybody else and therefore a specialist opener doesn't warrent a place in the playing 11.

 

[junaid78]

afridi only scores once a while after that he shoots blanks

 

[Noman]

I think this pitch is good for batting, and plus we need to defend a total where we have rana in the bowling department...
Rana will try 40 runs in 3 overs, today.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

maan these saffies are awesome fielders.. an almost certain four stopped by kallis.

 

[Nauman]

Out YK

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Y.Khan goessssss.... Noooooo

 

[Gunner786]

younis gone

this is inzi's moment

 

[darkmoon459]

Younis gone ,chasing the wide one outside the off stumps.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

out...Younis Khan gone!

 

[Easa]

Damn! Younis Khan gone, huge wicket.

 

[Bilal_Kureshi]

Younus out.

 

[Nauman]

Caught behind of Hall

 

[Noman]

Yousuf flicks for two, looks in fine form once again. So much for him failing on South African tracks..

these tracks are flat..

 

[12thMan]

YK out ct behind

 

[Uzzy]

Again chasing a wide one.

 

[Gunner786]

this could be the situation inzi and yousuf need to have one of their big partnerships which we havent seen since 2004

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

i think afridi will score atleast a quick 30 today

 

[junaid78]

65/3

 

[CricketBuff]

YK chasing a wide and nicking it

 

[Noman]

why in the world went Younis after it???

 

[MIG]

All rounder brigade will need to earn their keep today...a lot of work to be done here.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

inzi the new man in
