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

[prince_of_hell]

time to bring on the spinners?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Jayasuriya on fire was the last thing we needed

 

[Sparhawk]

he was never too smart

Thats not true, akhtar's a smart bowler but he loses focus sometimes.

 

[Bouncer]

.

Just put a hat on him and he looks like Ranatunga

 

[Boi]

4!

 

[Saj]

Jayasuriya may be bleeding frim the mouth, but its Akhtars ego that has been bruised.

 

[Mohsin]

Shows how much we learn, how many slower balls have we bowled!

Bring Gul on!

 

[prince_of_hell]

jayasuriya is on a killing mode

 

[darkmoon459]

What you expect from an injured lion suriya.Pakistan needs wicket and quick.

 

[inzidabest]

Udawatte hits a 4 nice....looks a decent bat

 

[Fallen King]

he was never too smart

If that's case, he should be dropped simply. He is becoming like Sami now

 

[Bouncer]

Thats not true, akhtar's a smart bowler but he loses focus sometimes.

When he plays sometimes in few years and he loses focus on those sometimes === HE IS OVER-HYPED-CRAP

 

[Boi]

If we dont get awicket in the next 2 overs we wont win this!

 

[prince_of_hell]

under 6 an over required now

 

[Inswinger]

Need 2 wickets now
Time for Malik to bowl

 

[Savak]

Jayasuriya may be bleeding frim the mouth, but its Akhtars ego that has been bruised.

Enough cheapshots, Jayasuriya has done this in the past to Akhtar as well. Akhtar is only trying to get Jayasuriya out, today Jayasuriya was too good for Akhtar. And Pak need wickets badly.

 

[Zaad]

put on afridi now..

 

[prince_of_hell]

96 required from 96

 

[Boi]

37-0 after 4

 

[Fallen King]

Thats not true, akhtar's a smart bowler but he loses focus sometimes.

That doesn't make sense. In spite of his history, how can he be smart? He may loses concentration but he is not smart after following his history. Iski harkaddain bilkul unpar gowar ki tarah hai.

 

[Boi]

a run a ball required!

 

[umarf76]

When he plays sometimes in few years and he loses focus on those sometimes === HE IS OVER-HYPED-CRAP

do sal ka baccha he ke he loses focus

this is international cricket. we hype up this guy as if he superman. he has hardly won up any matches in the last 5 years.. he was good only till 2002 or so.

 

[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.

Someone said I was being negative when I made this point. I was being a realist and a pragmatist.

 

[Usman Chadda]

132 must be looking so good to Malik now. Can't believe he was aiming for anything less than 150! A quick cameo from Jayasuriya is enough for a low total like 130

 

[prince_of_hell]

umar gul on

 

[Sparhawk]

When he plays sometimes in few years and he loses focus on those sometimes === HE IS OVER-HYPED-CRAP

Are you saying whenever akhtar plays he loses focus? Stop talking crap, akhtar has bowled a lot of brilliant spells over his career.

 

[Boi]

Gul to bowlz

 

[prince_of_hell]

no ball, free hit

 

[Inswinger]

What a way to start.......

 

[Zaad]

gull

can he?

 

[hashman]

ok, im outta here now. get some sleep. had enough of this match

 

[Fallen King]

Bowl some yorkers to take wicket of Jaysuriya and new opener

 

[tauseefm]

show-eb sada sher eh, puchal lagan di dar hay

 

[Boi]

Free hit!!!!!

Arghh!

 

[prince_of_hell]

no run on the free hit

 

[Islamabadi]

game over: tradition of no balls and wides continues

 

[Mohsin]

no ball, free hit, everything falling apart!

 

[Sparhawk]

Better bring in the spinners soon.

 

[Inswinger]

Axellent delivery!!!!!!!

 

[Zaad]

caugfht and bowled

and has a word with him....

ohh wow our new akhtar!

 

[prince_of_hell]

he says something to Udawatte after balling a dot ball on the free hit

 

[umarf76]

Gul pumped up .. thats the spirit .. i like Gul .. true fighter

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Amazing from Gul - super use of abuse.

 

[Fallen King]

We should have tried Anwar Ali in place of Afridi and Rauf or Sohail Khan in place of Akhtar. Most importantly, a Nasir Jamshed in place of Shoail Khan. This all went wrong is thank to either selectors or PCB now

 

[Monsee]

so much for being one of the fatest bowlers around, not to forget fastest too...you continue to bowl like an idiot (a la 2003 WC) and you shall reap the rewards too

 

[Zaad]

a bouncer and heat is on baby!

 

[Inswinger]

Gul showing aggression!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Bouncer - and a stare. Good ****!

 

[observer1]

This is what happens when you have a poor team.


No Abdul-Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood, Rana, Yasser Arafat etc..

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

 

[Inswinger]

And Gul gets the answer..............

 

[Zaad]

words dnt matter

its action that matters

gul hit for 6..

pakistan looks like kenya today!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

No gremlins in the wicket at all as some people suggested. We batted like the third rate batters today.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Our extra pace is perversely working against us!

 

[Boi]

Six!

 

[Zaad]

and he shows him his name...

 

[umarf76]

ugly six ...
Gul comeon!!!

 

[Fallen King]

Gul has bowled in the same delivery as Akhtar earlier did to Jayasuriya that led two sixes. Now, that makes it three sixes on same deliveries. Why on batsman behind?

 

[iafzal]

From Cricinfo

"4.2 Umar Gul to Udawatte, no run, quick quick bouncer, Udawatte just gets out of the way
Gul gives him a talk "

Was it just talk?

 

[Inswinger]

This is what happens when you have a poor team.


No Abdul-Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood, Rana, Yasser Arafat etc..

You can always tune onto Zee Sports.

Seriously man its time to move on

 

[Sparhawk]

Mohammad Akram is not a good commentator, the other guy is even worse.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

SL running away with this.

 

[Savak]

so much for being one of the fatest bowlers around, not to forget fastest too...you continue to bowl like an idiot (a la 2003 WC) and you shall reap the rewards too

Jesus Christ, now you are going to blast him for trying to go for wickets too. Its Jayasuriya hes up against.

 

[Zaad]

wow

we neeed a wicket

come on gul

 

[Zaad]

only if we had a ...

third slip

 

[Inswinger]

Spinners need to be brought on right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fallen King]

Our extra pace is perversely working against us!

extra pace without brain and control, is the result of getting trashed. That's reason why Mcgrath and Wasim are more successful than Lee and Akhtar

 

[umarf76]

You can always tune onto Zee Sports.

Seriously man its time to move on

haha!

 

[Saj]

What is wrong with calling Shoaib a few names? I am paying to watch a sportsman not a unprofessional overweight man struggling to breath after one over. If one gains such amount of weight they are open to getting ridiculed.

There is criticism and there is silly name calling like fatty etc. I'd rather on PP that the criticism wasnt silly name calling

 

[Mohsin]

Have any of these idiots bowled any slower balls?!

 

[Zaad]

ohh wow

my gosh

i m gona cry..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Three sixes, all on short balls down the leg-side. Everything is going wrong

 

[Fallen King]

nice yorker, but it was behind the left hand batman, as passed outside the line is now a wide

 

[mnoman15]

SL showing Butt how to bat ... 44 of 41 balls, that man caused us our batting failure ....

 

[umarf76]

extra pace without brain and control, is the result of getting trashed. That's reason why Mcgrath and Wasim are more successful than Lee and Akhtar

Lee is pretty accurate and good dude
Akhtar does not come in the same category. Please

 

[Sparhawk]

What a thrashing.

 

[Zaad]

16 runs off that over

i m done

 

[Saj]

The Pak bowlers have been very indisciplined. Far too short and wayward.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

talkin about short bowling....all runs but 2 singles behind the wicket

 

[prince_of_hell]

umar gul's been murdered in this over
