Al-Barakah T20 Final - Pakistan v Sri Lanka | Toronto | 13/10/08

[lollol]

Their captain is worth 2 though!

And our is worth 0.2

In the end their captain is worth 10x more

 

[dblock]

Just come in and see that Afridi has come and gone quick time already..

Will he ever fire???

 

[Inswinger]

Good slower bowl.

I was hoping Fernando would be thrashed around - very erratic

His slower ball is well disguised. Kind of like how Akhtar got the England team a few years ago.

 

[Oxy]

Wide

68-3

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide ball - Good call Benson!

 

[umarf76]

malik used to be capable of big hitting .. he seems to have lost that ability .. seems out of balance when slogging!

 

[Oxy]

Butt pull sit for 4

72-3

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good pull shot by Butt 4 runs!

 

[Showman]

Short and pulled away by Butt for 4!

 

[Inswinger]

Great pull for Salman. 4 more!!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Pulled over midwicket 444444444 to salman. Needed that!

 

[hashman]

got shot Butt

 

[umarf76]

Butt is the real big match player!! played terrible yesterday but today in the final he is playing a great knock

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another good quick single!

 

[Sparhawk]

malik used to be capable of big hitting .. he seems to have lost that ability .. seems out of balance when slogging!

Hopefully if he spends some time on the wicket we'l get to see some sixes over mid wicket.

 

[Saj]

Jayawardene crying about a wide call. Get on with the game man.

 

[Oxy]

His slower ball is well disguised. Kind of like how Akhtar got the England team a few years ago.

That was a dream spell from Shoaib!

 

[natalia]

good shot by butt.
four

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Any predictions? I say we will finish on 120 all out.

 

[natalia]

73-3 in 11 ovrs

 

[taqi]

one of them should go all guns blazing

 

[Deewana Mastana]

73 for 3 after 11

 

[inzidabest]

afridi did not open today?

 

[lollol]

SL r keeping Mendis for the final overs it seems....

 

[Saj]

73 for 3 from 11 overs

Very even this game so far.

 

[Oxy]

Great atmosphere coming through on TV...unless its gremlins in ARY's audio!

 

[Inswinger]

Seems Jayawardene is keeping Mendis for the final overs.

 

[sehban]

73/3 11 overrs...still 10 runs where we shud be i say

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another bowling change by Jayawardene - Weeratne comes onto ball - Mendis being kept back for the last few overs

 

[Plasma]

Great Pull by butt!

444444

and where are you guys getting the 6 and 4 smilies from? i didn't see them in the smilie box

 

[Showman]

lol "ole" chants.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs for Butt - Throw Dilshan's legs

 

[Oxy]

Slower bowled - bottom edge...4 runs...BUTT

77-3

 

[Inswinger]

Much needed boundary, through the keepers legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[observer1]

64 after 10 overs is poor score even in 50 over cricket these days.

Maybe, but considering the early and silly wickets Pakistan lost, in this condition, 73 - 3after 11.1 overs is pretty reasonable

 

[CricnPak]

Ole Ole Ole Ole says the crowd and 4 byes are the reply.

 

[Sparhawk]

Beautiful yorker for 44444!!

 

[umarf76]

Hopefully if he spends some time on the wicket we'l get to see some sixes over mid wicket.

yes .. his slap shot sixes over mid wicket. been sometime though

 

[natalia]

pakistan can win this if they get the wickets of jayawardene, mubarak, and jayasuriya before they get going

 

[Showman]

Great fielding by the Sri Lankans today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good pull shot by Butt - 2 runs and good fielding by Mubarak saving a certain 4

 

[hashman]

very good fielding by the Lankans today

 

[Inswinger]

Great shot by Butt but these guys are fielding very well.

 

[Plasma]

:4

I found them!

and no no one scored a 6 and 2 fours.

 

[lollol]

Really some good fielding from Sri Lanka....

 

[Sparhawk]

Any predictions? I say we will finish on 120 all out.

165 - 6 :aiqbal

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

The SL fielding could be the difference

 

[Plasma]

:! by butt, between dilshans legs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Great fielding by the Sri Lankans today.

They are up for it today!

 

[umarf76]

butt pulling everything ..

 

[natalia]

sri lanka fielding amazingly well today. hope to see the same from pakistan

 

[Inswinger]

Mohammad Akram makes me want to turn off the volume. Im getting sleepy listening to his low voice.

 

[lollol]

Will it be enough?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

81 for 3 after 12

 

[Inswinger]

Malik does play the yorkers very well.

 

[umarf76]

malik seems to be aiming 150 .. should be aiming 170! needs to move it a bit!

 

[natalia]

Butt might win the MoS award, he should get a half-century soon now

 

[CricnPak]

Mendis back on.

 

[HuZi]

wich link r u lot using??? good quality link??

 

[sehban]

mendis is back

 

[umarf76]

Mohammad Akram makes me want to turn off the volume. Im getting sleepy listening to his low voice.

he makes you miss rameez raja

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mendis back into the attack - Change of ends for him!

 

[Inswinger]

Mendis on.
Need 5 runs from this over w/o losing a wicket.

 

[FM87]

80 runs are needed in the last 8 overs...

 

[natalia]

mendis back.

 

[CricnPak]

Malik Out.

 

[observer1]

The SL fielding could be the difference

Thinking the same thing...

Pakistan need to be tight in the field and apply pressure. Especially since the Bowlers seem to not be playing to their potential

 

[Showman]

Shoaib Malik is caught out near the boundary. Mendis strikes!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh I thought its a six - But he's gone! Malik out trying to hit a six!

 

[lollol]

Malik gone, caught at the boundary off Mendis

 

[Inswinger]

Malik goes after Mendis and is caught at the boundary.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik out, trying to hit a six.

 

[umarf76]

malik unlucky ... caught on the boundary ..

 

[Fallen King]

Malik is gone.

 

[Sparhawk]

Damn it!!!! That should have been six.

Thats a big wicket.

 

[FM87]

mendis phir aa gaya sala

 

[Plasma]

Mendis back on!?

 

[natalia]

brilliant catch. mendis gets malik.

 

[hashman]

AWWWWWWWW.. **** , screw Mendis

 

[Inswinger]

Come on Misbah. Show is who the real beast is!!!!
