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

[Boi]

Out!!!!!!

 

[MIG]

theere you go - gul gets a wicket

Akhtar should hang his head in shame ( and his boots)

 

[umarf76]

mahroof and dilshan still to bat!!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I don't think Gul will get to bowl 4 overs today either.

 

[Lightning]

Gul can still win this for Pak. Have a gut feeling.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Bowled him!!

 

[Boi]

Its not over yet!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Gulla!

 

[Usman Chadda]

UMAR GUL YOU BEAUTY!!!! AWESOME SHOT BY THE BATSMAN, GUL STRIKES!!!

Weeraratne gone for 12. Sri Lanka 115/5

 

[SAM'S]

Outtttttttttttttttttttt

 

[IMMY69]

Yes, he needed to mix up his pace. Instead he tried to blast out the batsmen.

correct - most posters, fans and some players think that shoiab is a talisman - great speed and great yorkers...i cant blame a captain for turning to his most experienced bowler...problem is that akhtar couldnt do it for surrey and has been unfit for way too long.....

 

[Lightning]

AS I say this! GUL rips out OFF sTUMP!!

 

[Plasma]

Gul Gets Him!

 

[Boi]

If Gul bowled the over which Akhtar finished his career with he might of madfe a victory much more likely!

 

[Mohsin]

wide

 

[Inswinger]

That shouldnt be a wide

 

[Saj]

Islamabadi, not sure how old you are, but one more disgusting swear word from you and you will never post on PP again. Sick and tired of deleting your posts.

 

[Mohsin]

good run

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I thought it was a team decision to bring back Shoaib, no? Wasn't Gul suppose to bowl and then the three heads (Fridi, mesbah and younis) decided to collide together?

Anyways, the captain should have talked to his bowlers in taking the pace of the ball.

Fernando listened to his captain. Why can't Pakistan captain impose himself over the team?

Get real man! When you are a 33 year old fast bowler with over 300 international wickets the captain shouldn't be telling you how and what to bowl.

 

[umarf76]

gul is reversing it

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Wide!

 

[Boi]

wide!

 

[mnoman15]

If we lose then akhtar has cost us this match

 

[Usman Chadda]

Gul is going for the yorkers here, and a slight hint of reverse-swing on that last delivery

 

[BD-fan]

The decision of who was suppose to bowl doesn't matter as long as the correct balls are being bowled to get the maximum out put. Team management is at fault 50%. The rest on captain. Now if the bowler knowingly tried to smoother the batsmen with his pace then Akhtar is the guilty party for todays loss.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh man they are pleading...

 

[Mohsin]

That Was Plumb

 

[Inswinger]

Tha was hittong middle!!!

 

[Oxy]

Great over by Gul.....terrible local umpiring. Gives a wide when it hits the pad.

Then doesnt give a PLUMB lbw that hits the pad.

SHOCKING

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was out!!

 

[Mohsin]

Go 2 Specsavers!

 

[Islamabadi]

sorry saj.........

 

[Mohsin]

and now 4!

ffs

 

[Imran_m]

1 tactical error has cost us i reckon

 

[Boi]

Poor desicion!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Very Unlucky for Gul and Pak

 

[mnoman15]

Plumb out not given

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

We need a 3 wicket over here now!

 

[Oxy]

142kph from GUL - 4 byes.

Umpiring....

 

[Mohsin]

its just not our day

 

[Inswinger]

Akmal should have had that

 

[umarf76]

akmal cant catch anything

 

[Usman Chadda]

BS umpiring!!! First that wide and this plumb LBW

 

[Savak]

Bad day for Pakistan top edges going for sixes, insides edges, edges going for 4, extra swing going for 4.

 

[lollol]

....

 

[Usman Chadda]

...and the damn Scrambled Service on the stream again AAAAAA

 

[Boi]

Pakistan must be libid!

 

[Mohsin]

11 needed off 18 now

 

[MIG]

its all going down - hill

 

[ali kc]

well bowled gul...

 

[lollol]

wow, JUST missed

 

[mnoman15]

0.3 cm ..holy cow

 

[HuZi]

is he blind

 

[Oxy]

Mark Benson needs to have a word with the joker of a n umpire at the other side.

 

[Boi]

Missed by 0.3 cm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Akmal could have got that. Pace is not freaking working!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Benson having a word now with Malik

 

[MIG]

I wouldnt have minded 4s like that off Gul - atleast he gave us a chance

 

[Mohsin]

10 off 17 now

 

[Miss cricket]

Akmal needs to be kick out of the Pakistani team 4 life.

 

[tauseefm]

Bad day for Pakistan top edges going for sixes, insides edges, edges going for 4, extra swing going for 4.

i can see u protecting show-eb here :Evil

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

These two umpires are as good as Shoaib Akhtar has been today. But the umpiring didn't cost us we cost us.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Benson having a word now with Malik

He should be having a word with that other joke of an umpire

 

[lollol]

That was indeed plumb, but the appeal by Gul was indeed overzealous tbh....

 

[SAM'S]

tell Akhtar to hit that umpire with bat!

 

[Lightning]

AWFUL UMPIRING!! Breathtaking over from GUL.

 

[Saj]

Malik having some words with the umpires. I dont blame him.

Maybe he can have some words with Akhtar too.

 

[Raz]

Bishop sounds so patronising as a commentator.

 

[Mohsin]

Oh well

 

[SAM'S]

i think it's going to over in this over!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

I think the is the first time I have seen Malik with real passion. His celebrations after his wickets were something else. Good stuff.

 

[Boi]

Alam is diving round everywhere!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

That last over from Gul was brilliant I have to say.

 

[Bouncer]

Maybe he can have some words with Akhtar too.

dont think he has got the balls for that, unfortunately

 

[HuZi]

lost it man !

 

[Mohsin]

128/5

 

[Usman Chadda]

Still possible guys. Just no silly boundaries now! We need some luck to go our way. Sri Lanka have had all the luck they can get today and they still are struggling to get to the target

 

[Inswinger]

That Shoaib over rally has hurt us

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well

 

[Mohsin]

play and a miss!
