3rd ODI - WI v Pak @ St Lucia (Pak Innings) [22/5/05]

[tahaqureshi]

hey taha werent u just saying yesterdayfor yk just to forget his record for 4 overs and do wats best for the team?

yea I was but that was when I thought we were too slowly paced..and I dont think he wasnt trying, and he did end up with a strike rate of 90 hence I make my judgement.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 by yk good shot there

 

[tahaqureshi]

good good...singles being taken at will..I think they are waiting for the 40 over mark..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

followed by 3 runs after that good over happening here

 

[161]

i think pakistan shouldn't get complacent this match does matter 2-1 ISNT GOOD ENUFF WE MUST GET WHITEWASH!!

totally agree - we need to go for the kill !!!

 

[tahaqureshi]

yk proving his critics wrong again...11 from 7

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

223-3 from 40 overs i say 315 is a good score that we should aim for from here on out

 

[tahaqureshi]

agree with you cricket devil...315 is minimum considering we still have 7 wickets in hand

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

well taha it is a bit early to say he is proving any1 wrong in this match we shall see as he goes on. I have nothing against yk but i think that he should score faster than wat he usually (USUALLY) does at the number he comes anyway he has just hit a 4 to a bad ball good job yk keep it up

 

[161]

3 dot balls in a row from Bazid . . .

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

YK playing very well. 200 S/R.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

lol yk could have easily been stumped there had courtney browne held onto it was almost a repeat of the indo pak test of how kumble had him stumped

 

[Usman]

Younis Khan strike rate of 200, how much faster do you want him to score?

 

[tahaqureshi]

isnt it yk on strike?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

he is playing well this match he should be a lil more consistent with that tho

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Bazid may have done enough to be selected for the first test. If he carries his bat through he will almost certainly play.

 

[whyhkk]

I think someone should get out or wack a 6

 

[tahaqureshi]

we often tend to forget that even big players like yoyo and inzi have strike rates of below 80 for majority of the time...

and if yk has a strike rate of around 70-80..we criticise him..

we're taking him for granted.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bazid on 61 now keep it up yo

 

[bilal]

he is playing well this match he should be a lil more consistent with that tho

The thing with YK is that he is not a natural slogger of the ball he is more of a stylish batsmen and the no 6 position doesnt suit him but nonetheless he is doing a good job

 

[Khalil]

Bazid is a crappy ODI batsman!

Restricted Stroke player!

I hope he gets out so that we can get get Malik or Razzak blasting away!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

taha most of the time YY and Inzi score at close to a run a ball when they score any innings of substance. The criticism of YK is that he often doesn't have the big hitting ability that is required by the time he comes in to bat - eg., 40+ overs.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

taha i just think that yk is criticised because he cannot accelerate and hit big hits quick like yoyo or inzi at least not as often that was a weird sweep thingy by bazid to say the least

 

[tahaqureshi]

Bazid is a crappy ODI batsman!

Restricted Stroke player!

I hope he gets out so that we can get get Malik or Razzak blasting away!

you're surely joking right?

 

[whyhkk]

This is realllly bad

 

[161]

8 overs left and we are at 235 - i'd be suprised if we even get to 300 at this rate as bazid has not tried to accelerate things at all after getting his 50.

 

[kasoo10]

I do not think Bazid is getting out in this innings. And I see him getting 100. Like it or not!!

 

[ataullah]

41.6 Gayle to Bazid Khan, one run, a knee-down pull to deep midwicket

looks confident now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

241-3 in 43 overs

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Well his captain is there batting with him. If he wants Bazid to go for his shots, he just has to tell him.

 

[tahaqureshi]

i think someone should get out for the sake of the team and let malik and razzaq do their thing

 

[bilal]

Bazid is a crappy ODI batsman!

Restricted Stroke player!

I hope he gets out so that we can get get Malik or Razzak blasting away!

You shouldnt be so obnoxious the word Crappy does not describe a batsmen whos strike rate in this match has been nearly 70 im dissapointed with such a comment

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

time for gayle to get some stick

 

[Farhad]

Bazid's done remarkably well, but he needs to play the big shots now.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bazid is going for the slog sweep unfortunately he didnt connet

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

who the hell was that doing finger signs behing woolmer lol

 

[tahaqureshi]

atleast they have intent

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

7 runs off that over 248-3 in 44 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

HAHAHA check out that dude in the crowd practicing his shot s

 

[tahaqureshi]

looks like its only you and me cricket devil lol

 

[161]

just 6 overs left - i hope bazid tries to finally break loose (and hopefuly gets out doing it )

 

[bilal]

300 looking a likely possibility now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

250 is up

 

[Shayan]

crap.. the county crickets gonna start again in 10 minutes

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bazid is bowled...good bowl there and i feel like slapping collymore every time he does that 3 finga sign

 

[smoothcriminal]

shukar hay out ho gya. he was wasting too many deliveries

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

YESS RAZZLER IS HERE TIME TO WHACK BABY!!

 

[bilal]

crap.. the county crickets gonna start again in 10 minutes

Poor you

 

[161]

bazid is bowled...good bowl there and i feel like slapping collymore every time he does that 3 finga sign

> > >

 

[Farhad]

A cameo from Razzak may shift the game away from WI reach. Can he deliver yet again?

 

[tahaqureshi]

have to admit, im getting frustrated now, we need to score quickly from here on...

havent seen a four for ages

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

251 in 45...cmon razzler

 

[bilal]

50 in 10 overs only razzaq can make such an achievement at this stage

 

[Khalil]

Yeah Bazid Gone!

 

[smoothcriminal]

more like 5 bilal

 

[tahaqureshi]

wthell!!!!! singles all the time....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

o man i think he might be run out razzler could be gone

 

[bilal]

more like 5 bilal

oh yeah soz

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

HE IS SAFE HE HAS TO BE CMON 3RD UMPS FOR ONCE BE HONEST

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yes green light

 

[waquas_uk]

what was the need for the 2nd single

 

[waquas_uk]

razzaq safe

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hate to say it but collymore bowlin very well here

 

[tahaqureshi]

he is in...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 shot 4!!1 razzler fianlyl hits it right

 

[waquas_uk]

i was expecting 330 if we get 300 now if b hapy

 

[kasoo10]

I think Bazid has played the kind of innings that Malik played yesterday. He got MOM, why people are upset with Bazid then? He has build the innings.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

266 in 47 cmon pakistan we gotta get 300

 

[smoothcriminal]

collymore is a good bowler, with razzaq clearing his left leg and the stumps he always has a chance to get him out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

bradshaw is gonna get killed!!1 chal razzaq!

 

[waquas_uk]

1st boundary in 40 balls not enough boundaries in the last 15 overs

 

[badxhah]

first 4 in 40 balls

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

aw man he missed a full toss...

 

[tahaqureshi]

im nto upset...but some incosiderate ppl are


it was his first outing in int'l cricket after more than a year!!!!!!!!!

 

[z10]

we want a razzaq special!!

 

[Khalil]

I predict that we will get 285

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

whoa he was stumped there....lucky for razzler...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ya razzaq was out o well 6 BY RAZZLER!!!

 

[waquas_uk]

2 dot balls in bradshaws over
1 edged droped

 

[smoothcriminal]

FANTASTIC BY RAZZAQ
