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

[natalia]

out. 110/6

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Misbah has played a blinder so far.

 

[inzidabest]

with such a long batting line up why were Malik and Butt so slow

 

[Showman]

What are Pakistan waiting for? Only 2 overs left after this.

 

[umarf76]

misbah wants to be the last man out all the time .. why doesnt he slog crazy?

 

[observer1]

should have Brought in Tanvir, and go all out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

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

No way it'll be 150 - It will be 130...

 

[lollol]

What are these batsmen doing????

 

[umarf76]

should have Brought in Tanvir, and go all out

agreed. that would have been too much of a gamble for our safe captain

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i think misbah has forgot about cow corner

 

[Deewana Mastana]

111 for 6 after 18

 

[SAM'S]

what is Misbah doing
for heaven's sake hit the ball

 

[hashman]

Not looking good for Pakistan now

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Dont you just wish there were 11 Afridis.

 

[Sparhawk]

Are they waiting for the last ball to hit a boundary?

 

[natalia]

112/6 in 18 ovrs

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

last 4 overs 3,3, 5 and 5. WOW!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

12 balls left - Can they get 20 or 30 off them?! That's the next big question!

 

[observer1]

agreed. that would have been too much of a gamble for our safe captain

well i'll hardly blame the captain...

Who knows what the gameplan is...

Maybe now is the time Misbah goes into OVERDRIVE Mode?

 

[prince_of_hell]

why isnt Misbah hitting the ball

 

[Legendary_Sage]

i think they are practicing for test series against india

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fernando into the attack

 

[SAM'S]

someone tell them its a 20 over game and 18 are gone already

 

[mnoman15]

last 4 overs 3,3, 5 and 5. WOW!

May be it is not an easy to hit ...

 

[iafzal]

You have to give credit to SL bowling plus this pitch is not easy to bat, you will see when Pak bowls

 

[Showman]

Akmal...dropped!!

 

[umarf76]

jayawardane is a master captain .. thinks out of the box all the time
not like inzy and shoaib who have one plan ..

Akmal is useless!!

 

[prince_of_hell]

hahahaha, what an easy catch is dropped of Akmal

 

[lollol]

Atleast :akmal is trying to clear the boundary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's lucky for Akmal easy catch dropped by Kapugedara

 

[Shahid A]

as i said in the who will win poll the big guns will flop at the big stage

 

[Sparhawk]

11

So far this over. This is crap.

 

[observer1]

Akmal, Dropped... wow

EDIT: AKMAL DROPPED, NOT MISBAH

EDIT: i dont know WHO was dropped .

 

[pakistani]

plsss misbah hit a six!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[prince_of_hell]

come on Misbah!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wide ball

 

[prince_of_hell]

wide

 

[Savak]

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

Fully agreed. Very wierd effort so far. Afridi got out early today so its not his fault today, Malik did his best so not his fault either. But Misbah hasnt taken a single risk at the moment and just a few deliveries left.

 

[natalia]

dropped. phew
mendis to bowl the last over i guess

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Good keeping

 

[Sparhawk]

Two dots followed by a wide. Maybe he'l bowl a no-ball.

 

[hashman]

hopefully we can reach around 135-140 from here

 

[prince_of_hell]

4, one bounce

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 bounce 4 for Misbah

 

[pakistani]

finally misbah

 

[umarf76]

misbah hits a boundary ..

 

[Sparhawk]

44444444444!!!

Almost went for six! That was a weird looking shot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

hopefully we can reach around 135-140 from here

InshahAllah!

 

[Showman]

Misbah with a 4 now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mendis will be bowling the last over

 

[umarf76]

misbah still pacing for the last over!!

 

[prince_of_hell]

i dont get it why Misbah is trying to rotate the strike instead of going all the way

 

[natalia]

i guess i'll just watch the pak innings, guys. i'll go to sleep after that. its 3am here anyways. i woke up at 1.30am to see pakistan make this depressing score
and i have school tomorrow.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

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

My prediction not far off. I was hoping I would be proven badly wrong but Misbah has taken me to task.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They aren't running well at all

 

[umarf76]

akmal the idiot playing square cuts .. why doesnt he close his mouth!

 

[Saj]

Finally some intent from Misbah. ABout 15 deliveries too late !

 

[Sparhawk]

Mendis will be bowling the last over

It will take some real skill to get runs off him.

 

[SAM'S]

Misbah hits a 4
Misbah for President?

 

[Shahid A]

go mendis

 

[Deewana Mastana]

123 for 6 after 19

 

[Showman]

Pakistan need a BIG final over...they're at 123 right now.

 

[natalia]

1 bounce four. finally misbah hits a big shot.

 

[hashman]

but its the enemy carrom ball in next to bowl

 

[pakistani]

what r u doing misbah

 

[prince_of_hell]

19 overs, 123-6, misbah to face the last over

 

[Islamabadi]

misbah vs mendis last over...great battle

 

[Mercenary]

What are these batsmen doing????

Whenever any batsman has attacked they've got out straight away, perhaps the pitch is dodgier than it looks.

We can only judge their behaviour after both teams have batted, then again if Jaya gets going the pitch doesnt matter

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'll probably say they'll get to around 135

 

[MIG]

mendis will bowl last over?

 

[umarf76]

need 17 of the last over .. 140 would be respectable

 

[natalia]

123/6 in 19 overs.
mendis to bowl

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

you know atleast you can have a swing at the 7th last ball of the innings with 4 wickets remaining...ugh

 

[SAM'S]

we need 18 for the last over at least
someone bring Saleem Jaffer to bowl

 

[prince_of_hell]

Mendis on for the last over

 

[observer1]

anyonw with a Decent link please, mine is useless...

 

[Showman]

Mendis to bowl the last over. Misbah needs to be on strike against the spinner.

 

[prince_of_hell]

first ball, Misbah , no run

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah trying to reverse sweep - Looks ugly and 1 dott ball

 

[prince_of_hell]

one run, second ball
