Afghanistan vs Pakistan | Only ODI | Sharjah | 10/2/12

[VolcanicAsh]

Plumb!

 

[shahidafridi123]

All Shafiq's runs in boundaries

 

[Osman]

this planting your front foot needs to go from asads game...he will be exposed if he doesn't

 

[AFG_Brit]

Asad gone.

 

[Anwar_194]

it is not going to be an easy win....

 

[shahidafridi123]

Younis comes in

 

[KingKhanWC]

Younis will settle things down.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Is the same guy who was swearing at Asad? Asad must be pissed at getting out to him.

 

[Sledger]

Younis in.

 

[Osman]

asad not doing himself any favours...he fails to fully make the most of his opportunitys when they come

 

[Asif321]

This was the worst team selection ever i seen
wht the hell is malik doing at number 8 ....
is he playing as bowler .. then we have abdur rehman

 

[Monty786]

Who would have thought Imran Farhat would still be at the crease after 10 overs.

 

[AnotherIndian]

Mirwais Ashraf looks like a Russian. utin

 

[Lala-Afridi]

ashraf = parveen kumar ?

 

[carbon11]

the problem is our batsmen are not rotating the strike

at the moment its just block block, and trying to find boundaries

 

[qamar84]

finally, damad ji get past the field

 

[KingKhanWC]

Who would have thought Imran Farhat would still be at the crease after 10 overs.

Mohammed Ilyas. Next question?

If Farhat goes now Pak could be in a spot of bother.

 

[dhump]

poor fielding farhat was spot on to play it into fielders hand he just missed it completely.

 

[Asif321]

plzz get this farhat out

 

[Looney]

give Farhat out please !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sledger]

Mis-field gives Farhat some rare runs.

 

[cricfan4ever]

farhat, asad, yk, and misbah in the same line up

malik should've been promoted up the order here

 

[ads101]

crappy batting line up really. When only 4 out of 7 guys justify their place in the side, things are always going to go wrong. And we've lost 2 off those guys, so only two solid ODI batsmen left.

 

[AnotherIndian]

Bowler looks like a Russian, Keeper looks like Indian...

 

[Sledger]

Farhat scores a single and the crowd start blasting 'Dil Dil Pakistan'.

) )

 

[Looney]

Dil Dil Pakistan playing and the crowd singing

 

[Asif321]

DIL DIL PAKISTAN BEING PLAYED

 

[dhump]

Bowler looks like a Russian, Keeper looks like Indian...

Keeper reminds me of Balaji (from Canada)

 

[Looney]

farhat, asad, yk, and misbah in the same line up

malik should've been promoted up the order here

Asad SR was 95 bro

 

[KingKhanWC]

A bit off-spin to test the nerves

Karim Sadiq on.

 

[Osman]

farhat being a lefty...and that too a poor one will have swann licking his lips...if he makes it as far as swann

 

[cricfan4ever]

crappy batting line up really. When only 4 out of 7 guys justify their place in the side, things are always going to go wrong. And we've lost 2 off those guys, so only two solid ODI batsmen left.

as we know, rotation of strike is alien to us ... if Mohsin can't work on this aspect how can he be the coach?

 

[Asif321]

Plzz Mods we need sania mirza's smiley

 

[dhump]

farhat being a lefty...and that too a poor one will have swann licking his lips...if he makes it as far as swann

I could have bet my house (If I had one of my own) that he will not last that long and I can bet my house that is one rent that he will not be dropped.

 

[Looney]

Will the Afghan keeper also bowl ?

 

[Sledger]

50 up.

 

[Lala-Afridi]

Will the Afghan keeper also bowl ?

Karim Sadiq is a wicket keepr check matches that was played vs Pakistan A

 

[Osman]

Mohammed Ilyas. Next question?

If Farhat goes now Pak could be in a spot of bother.

who cares...is better for the long run

 

[qamar84]

Pakistan RR 4.28

 

[Maher96]

Looks like 8 batsmen will b needed t reach this total. Afghanis wacked us all over the place n we cnt gt singles.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Asad SR was 95 bro

I don't mind Shafiq, but in the composition we can't have 3 batsmen in a row of the same mold...

 

[purepak]

its a fun cricket you know

 

[Osman]

as we know, rotation of strike is alien to us ... if Mohsin can't work on this aspect how can he be the coach?

not alien to younis...but then asad will not play if that is the case...but then we know farhat will play even though should not be within 500 miles of the team...what to do

 

[dhump]

[/B]

who cares...is better for the long run

No in long run it is better to get rid of Ilyas.

 

[Looney]

I don't mind Shafiq, but in the composition we can't have 3 batsmen in a row of the same mold...

If the two parchis are dropped , the team will look better on paper and on field

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

Best way to get Farhat out of the team - Tempt him to have an extramarital affair ... Wife kicks him out of house; Father-in-law kicks him out of team !

 

[Asif321]

i dont understand .misbahs team selection

 

[Sledger]

Great shot by the great man.

 

[carbon11]

 

[Monty786]

Did Ramiz Raja just praise Imran Farhat - what next?

 

[qamar84]

damad ji chaa gaye

 

[KingKhanWC]

That was a nice shot, rocked back and smacked into the gap for 4.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

this man will be the end of me

what a troll face

 

[dhump]

ok this one is a genuine hit from Imran there was no fielder and he player from nearby middle.

 

[Sledger]

It's been a good knock so far, neat innings so far, looks to be in good touch.

Must be another 'whitey' type joke eh?

 

[carbon11]

ramiz chamcha raja prasing this stop start innings from farhat

 

[lilFlip]

Is Imran Farhat most hated Pakistani player ever?

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Disappointed with shafiq.

This man is the luckiest mofo on earth

 

[Love Pakistan]

[AmmarAshraf]

[Sledger]

Imran Lara now in form. Afghanistan better watch out.

 

[dhump]

In Jahanam Ppl will have to watch imran farhat batting as a punishment

To ye jumma parhnay kay bawjood aaj jahanum 15 over say hum par kyu musalat hay ??? batao molvi sahab.

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK should get runs here he tends to save his best for top sides like Bangla, zimbos and Hong kong.

 

[dhump]

this match is good eye opener for Pakistanis.

 

[Maher96]

Is this match being shown in UK.

 

[ads101]

i dont understand .misbahs team selection

Think Misbah's more of a play with the guys you get. Not so fussed over selection. I mean Malik was brought in after selectors initially thought to exclude him. If he was really adamant about it he would have made it clear his desire to pick Malik earlier.

Misbah I think goes too much on seniority. Afridi was a little the same too. Rather have senior players in, think they're more experienced and will do a better job.

Younis and Malik were the opposite when they were captain, more faith in younger players.

No strategy is necessarily wrong, just don't think Farhat, Younis or Malik justify their spots at the moment.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

YK should get runs here he tends to save his best for top sides like Bangla, zimbos and Hong kong.

At least YK earns his spot through merit. Managment see him as someone who will help arrest a batting collapse.
YK is not the biggest problem in our team or the second biggest

 

[octavian]

this match is good eye opener for Pakistanis.

We are large hearted people. .

Never thrash our brothers #Bangla Desh #Afghans

[cricfan4ever]

our batting during chase is just poor ... there is no middle game, either boundary or block

that's not going to get it done for chases over 220 ...

 

[dhump]

At least YK earns his spot through merit. Managment see him as someone who will help arrest a batting collapse.
YK is not the biggest problem in our team or the second biggest

Since start of today's play only Afridi seems like deserving player TBH.

 

[Sledger]

Left arm spin time. PP also.
