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

[Showman]

Butt is caught out now!

 

[inzidabest]

3 runs in the 15th over

 

[Sparhawk]

Another one falls to mendis!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Butt gone straight to long off

 

[Islamabadi]

mendis takes another

 

[umarf76]

salman gone .. a bit of pressure now ..
time for alam to do it again!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to get past 140 here atleast here...!

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

catching practice

 

[natalia]

CAUGHT
salman butt is out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

99 for 5 in 15.2 overs

 

[mnoman15]

Butt gone ... I guess its good ...

 

[TruSachFan]

this mendis i tell ya!!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

wth salman was playing so much away from body

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Alam should be the new man in ahead of Akmal I'd say!

 

[Sparhawk]

5 down, damage control? Lets at least make sure we get 140+, something we can defend.

 

[inzidabest]

He left a ball in this over and then got out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's good to see that Alam has been sent ahead of Akmal!

Let's hope he can do it today aswell - InshahAllah!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Anyone else thinks umpire Benson is rubbish?

 

[sehban]

pak in trouble now ...need atleast another 50

 

[natalia]

sri lanka are allowing the singles, and yet pakistan don't want to take them. pakistan should know that they should slog off the other bowlers and happily take singles off mendis. if they followed that plan malik and butt would still have been batting.

 

[Sparhawk]

High expectations on Alam today.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Mendis going through another batting line-up. This guy is insanely difficult to get away

 

[natalia]

fawad in, off the mark with a single

 

[ali110]

How many times we have see this from Butt, he always played for like 40-50 balls in T20 and then got it when you need to him to hit the ball after wasting those balls.

Cut out the bad language - this post has been edited by Saj

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar Younis with Imran Khan of Al Barakah with him

 

[Inswinger]

Alam will have to save our Butt today!!!

 

[Showman]

Waqar with Imran Khan lol.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's giving away an apartment to the Man of the Series

 

[umarf76]

why do we have the privelidge of m akram all innings?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

In Ajman

 

[inzidabest]

Mendis to Fawad Alam, no run, carrom ball, Fawad Alam clueless

 

[umarf76]

Imran khan seems ot have gained some weight and lost some hair!

 

[Sparhawk]

How many times we have see this from Butt MOFO, he always played for like 40-50 balls in T20 and then got it when you need to him to hit the ball after wasting those balls.

He could have played a little faster but if it wasnt for his innings we'd be under pressure to score 120.

 

[Inswinger]

why do we have the privelidge of m akram all innings?

Waqar Younis and ian Bishop are the best from these guys.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Sri Lanka are well in control so far. If Akhtar and Tanveer bowl as badly as they did in the last game we will lose easily.

 

[Monsee]

Looks increasingly difficult that Pak will score more than 130 as of now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah we need some biggies from you mate!

 

[natalia]

alam, hit a few in the VIP stand

 

[On_the_up]

Mendis's 20-20 career bowling figures so far 3 matches 10 wkts at avg of 4.6!

Pakistan need to get at least 140 runs to have any chance

 

[cricketcrazy]

stop taking singles only Misbah .. he is not even trying for big shots or even 4...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looks increasingly difficult that Pak will score more than 130 as of now!

Seems like it now!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

120 will be really tough to defend

 

[Saj]

Pak need at least 40 from the last 4 overs, if not, then wave goodbye to this match

 

[BD-fan]

Big time player stepping in crucial times. Misbah needs to fire now!!! 22 balls left now!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 runs for Misbah

 

[umarf76]

Sri Lanka are well in control so far. If Akhtar and Tanveer bowl as badly as they did in the last game we will lose easily.

always the optimist!

 

[Sparhawk]

We are definitely in damage control mode here. Looks like mendis will get away this time

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Pakistan accelerating well here 8 off the last 2.3 overs.

[umarf76]

misbah struggling .. too slow so far

 

[Deewana Mastana]

130 is more like it now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

107 for 5 after 17

 

[observer1]

Pakistan want atleast 30-40 in last 3 overs...

 

[Sparhawk]

misbah struggling .. too slow so far

Usually thats a good sign.

 

[umarf76]

130 is more like it now!

mad slogging might get us to 150 ..
misbah seems to be taking it too easy .. he cant get out now as he has taken too many balls

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maharoof comes into bowl

 

[taqi]

its over issed:

 

[inzidabest]

kya baat hai..last 3 overs..3 3 5

 

[cricketcrazy]

20 runs in last 4 overs.. Thanks to Misbah..

 

[umarf76]

Usually thats a good sign.

hope you are right!

 

[natalia]

not even 130. around 125

 

[cricketcrazy]

Now only a crazy spell from Shoaib can save us ..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

mad slogging might get us to 150 ..
misbah seems to be taking it too easy .. he cant get out now as he has taken too many balls

Yep mad slogging indeed can take us to 150 - All it takes is 1 big over of 20-25 and things can change rapidly...

 

[natalia]

i can see the look on their face. they'll go for the slog now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide ball

 

[Lightning]

Jaya rotating his bowlers really well. I'm very impressed!

 

[SAM'S]

we need sixes right now or at least fours

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is that out ?! They are appealing

 

[natalia]

now all we can do is depend on gul and afridi to bowl well and take the game away from SL

 

[umarf76]

alam gone

 

[Saj]

Misbahs innings so far today has been bizarre to say the least.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That does look out to me....Mo Akram - And it does look out to me aswell

 

[Usman Chadda]

One gets the feeling Misbah is waiting for Mendis to come back into the attack. I can only see that as the reason he is treating the pacers with so much respect

 

[Fallen King]

Fawad Alam is gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He's gone! So Khatmal walks in!

 

[pakistani]

There no challenge in t20

 

[Showman]

Alam is out, caught and bowled.

 

[umarf76]

Yep mad slogging indeed can take us to 150 - All it takes is 1 big over of 20-25 and things can change rapidly...

looking more unlikely now. maybe they will use their brains an send tanvir ahead of khatmal

 

[SAM'S]

now go ahead and blame it on Afridi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why not run for 2 ?! Put their fielders under pressure
