[Ghoshtbuster]

Butt, Afridi, Malik and Misbah did ok - but one of them needed to go on and explode.

 

[Sparhawk]

you gotta push the tempo up in the final overs
go watch Zimbabwe's match, earlier today

Didnt help that everyone kept getting out. But he should have scored another 5-10 runs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Misbah has usually bats well, this is one of the few times where he was not able to deliver. It is not like this happens to him too often.

Yeah true. It would be interesting to know what he was trying to achieve here. We had batsmen capable of lofting the ball if he got out trying to slog. My main gripe is he didn't even try. Very un-Misbah innings for sure

 

[natalia]

We should win reasonable comfortably

are you serious or sarcastic? 133 is not even defendable against canada or zimbabwe.

 

[hashman]

looks like Butt or Mendis will receive MOS award

 

[Usman Chadda]

Gul is yet to bowl...

 

[Islamabadi]

132 is too low...hopefully we field well

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Yes, we should win. Have you seen our bowling attack?

 

[Fallen King]

The situation has demanded big shot from Butt and Malik after their slow paced inning due to top order player like Afridi, Shoaib Khan have put them in pressure. That's what happens you tend to deal in under pressure and sometimes, you don't find success once you go for shot out of under pressure. Malik has played right shot but unfortunately, it didn't go well. From now on, drop Afridi and Malik should promote himself at top order along with Misbah. Both can find their time to settle along to carry long partnership to bring Pakistan in good position like old times

 

[Islamabadi]

and hopefully kuptaan doesn't make some dumb mistakes today like giving gul three overs

 

[umarf76]

misbah does tend to keep it for too late!

 

[iafzal]

Didnt help that everyone kept getting out. But he should have scored another 5-10 runs.

Now I hope everyone sees the value of Malik's innings on Sat when he kept the Pak innings together.
This time he went after the bowling like most of the people were screaming on Sat and look where we are.

Butt was supposed to the anchor job could not do it and Alam or Misbah could not deliver either.

 

[Inswinger]

Who is that girl on ARY? Lekha Washington?

 

[observer1]

and hopefully kuptaan doesn't make some dumb mistakes today like giving gul three overs

Well Pakistan won the match, so he must have done something right...

 

[SAM'S]

butt hasn't done anything special, a SR of 100 doesn't guarantee you an apartment in Dubai
look at the list please!

He doesn't play blind shot like Afridi. He was trying to find a way to hit and perhaps, waiting for easy ball to hit. Unfortunately, with slow bowlers are suited in slow pitch have definitely troubled Misbah and Misbah had hard time to acknowledge the pitch.

 

[Sparhawk]

Heeeeeeeeeeeere we gooooooo!!!

 

[Sparhawk]

Akhtar steaming in!

 

[umarf76]

Fortunate boundary for Jayasuriya

 

[Bouncer]

[Usman Chadda]

Same shot from Jayasuriya, but this time ball goes straight to deep square leg

[Inswinger]

i am concerned about the 4 overs to be bowled by Malik & Alam!

Malik has bowle well recently

 

[Fallen King]

Can anyone take screen shot of shoaib, i waana see how fat he is

Hard to see Akhtar while he is more fatter and more bigger than 4:3 aspect ratio in tv

 

[prince_of_hell]

come on, give a dot ball or a wicket

 

[hashman]

Yaar any1 have a deceent link that i may also use

 

[Showman]

lol Mohammad Akram saying Akhtar needs to lose 10 kg.

 

[Inswinger]

akhtar panting after 5 balls .. at least his fitness standard is consistent

Now thats uncalled for, many bowlers are tired after a few balls as well.

 

[prince_of_hell]

8 without loss, 1 over

 

[aashiqmizaaj]

lol Mohammad Akram saying Akhtar needs to lose 10 kg.

Even that won't be enough.

 

[Pak_NM]

[Savak]

Good speed 146 km/hr.

 

[natalia]

8 off the first over.

 

[prince_of_hell]

hahaha, Akhtar should lose atleast 10 kg, said by Mohammed Akram

 

[umarf76]

Now thats uncalled for, many bowlers are tired after a few balls as well.

who?

 

[iafzal]

lol Mohammad Akram saying Akhtar needs to lose 10 kg.

that is only in his gut area

 

[Fallen King]

Now thats uncalled for, many bowlers are tired after a few balls as well.

like who? It's understandable if you talking about after five years. Before the complete of first over, that show the level of fitness he is required to improve

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

1 boundary and 3 singles Pak openers take note.

 

[prince_of_hell]

tanvir should get Jayasuriya,
i remember the 20-20 world cup when he bowled Jayasuriya , what a wicket it was

 

[umarf76]

shoaib khan is not going to be the next jonty rhodes

 

[Bouncer]

1 boundary and 3 singles Pak openers take note.

and drop afridi

 

[Pak_NM]

Dot ball. Good delivery.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

lol Mohammad Akram saying Akhtar needs to lose 10 kg.

he needs to lose more like 25kg.

 

[SAM'S]

SL won't play blind shot, they know target is moderate

 

[prince_of_hell]

4

 

[Pak_NM]

again. damn

 

[Sparhawk]

Very risky shot by Jaya goes for 4. Bad start for pakistan.

 

[Inswinger]

Jaysuriya making things look easy

 

[Fallen King]

Tanvir bowling is getting much better once again. He should able to take two wicket earlier as possible

 

[SAM'S]

he needs to lose more like 25kg.

may be he needs to "deliver"

 

[prince_of_hell]

good ball, dot ball

 

[natalia]

FOUR by jayasuriya.
14/0 in 1.5

 

[aashiqmizaaj]

may be he needs to "deliver"

Unless he's housing quadruplets he won't lose more than 4 kg that way.

 

[prince_of_hell]

[Usman Chadda]
