Al Barakha T20 Game 2 : Canada v Pakistan | Toronto | 10/10/08

[khanz141]

Its not one of those indian or Pakistani pitches where even 200 can be chased down and besides Pakistan were heavy on the bowling side....for the first time ever, we wont be seeing the tundlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well atleast they got 137 not what I predicted 120!

 

[lollol]

When was the last time Akhtar played for Pakistan?

Bring on Rao! )

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Bangalore test @ lololo

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Akhtar looks like he has been spending time in Inzamams kitchen

 

[Deewana Mastana]

When was the last time Akhtar played for Pakistan?

Gosh, that's a tough one! )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bangalore test @ lololo

Oh yeah!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Once again guys, any idea when the game is back on?

 

[lollol]

Wow, thats more than 10 months ago

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Akhtar wide first ball, 107 ks

 

[Salman]

Shoaib starts with a wide...


Is that long run up back?

 

[lollol]

and gets a wicket straight away

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh they are out already as I just changed the channel and Akhtar starts off with a wide to open Canada's account for them!

And he gets a wicket of his first legal delivery!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Shoaib looks fat

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Out

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh and he gets the batsman out...well that was fast

 

[Islamabadi]

shoaib takes wicket

 

[Salman]

Shoaib gets one on his 2nd ball...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib looks fat

That's what my dad said too!

 

[Salman]

Thanks for turning up Mr Abdul Samad

 

[lollol]

He was clocked @ 130k for that wickettaking ball btw

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh yeah he is looking fat!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

up to 136 ks, going up the gears now.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

3 slips now...Shoaib charging in...

 

[Salman]

Oh yeah he is looking fat!

No, you lot are just not used to watching cricket on wide screen tv's

 

[lollol]

Akhtar is really too fit, i just adjusted my tv from widescreen to 4:3, and he still looks very fat...

Commentators ALSO saying he MUST lose weight...

 

[Saj]

I agree with Mo Akram on commentary. Akhtar looks well overweight and in no shape to bowl a long spell.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No, you lot are just not used to watching cricket on wide screen tv's

lolol answered that for you!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Cheema vs Shoaib now...

 

[Salman]

139.7 kph from Akthar

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

139 ks, Canaidia players crapping themselves.

 

[Shayan]

good accurate bowling from shoaib

 

[lollol]

commentator: "Akhtar getting some pace here, thats where he is famous for"

tbh i think there are other reasons why he is famous for

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Cheema trying to go after Shoaib

2-1 after 1

 

[lollol]

Sohail Tanvir?????

I expected S.Khan...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir gets flicked for 3 off his first ball

 

[Salman]

Tanvir in to bowl... gives away 3 from a losener.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Sohail Tanvir?????

I expected S.Khan...

Sohail is there to get some swing

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

What are the chances of Malik bowling himself?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Mo Akram talking about talent from Rawalpindi....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A wild swing by Cheema......completely misses it if connected would've sent it to Mars! )

 

[Pak_NM]

Cheema with a big hit. 6!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ok this time he connects and it goes outta the park! )

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Huge six by Cheema

 

[lollol]

Sohail is there to get some swing

Swing without control.... then ull get smacked for 6

 

[Salman]

9 off Tanvirs first over ...

Can 11-1

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Cheema is certainly the danger man...

 

[lollol]

Mo Akram talking about talent from Rawalpindi....

And calling Pindi a relatively small city in Pakistan

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Akhtar: 141ks

 

[Salman]

140KPH

 

[lollol]

Akhtar: 141ks

He looked in better shape when he played in IPL, and also was bowling instantly @ 145k

Lets see what he does here...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And calling Pindi a relatively small city in Pakistan

Tell me about it! )

 

[lollol]

And gets another wkt, is that dangerman Cheema??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

clean bowled and Shoaib gets his 2nd!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Bowled him!!!

Played on

 

[Salman]

another one for Akthar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Iqbal gone!

 

[Saj]

2nd wicket for Akhtar. PLayed on, batsman beaten for pace.

 

[lollol]

the dangerman is still there

 

[Saj]

huge appeal from Shoaib, looked high to me.

Good delivery angling in.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The height saved him there..........

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball by Akhtar!

 

[lollol]

142.6k fastest ball by Akhtar

Im sure he is not giving his 100% for pace, might be good also

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thats it for Akhtar! I bet he was indicating there that he's off now to get some rest!

 

[Pak_NM]

Good over by Akhtar. Agree with Akram that he needs to lose weight but encouraging.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 wides by Tanvir - Looks out of sorts really

 

[Pak_NM]

5 wides damn.

 

[TruSachFan]

Where is that guy Davison or Davidson at? I remember him from the T20WC where he blasted NZ

 

[Adeel786]

You can watch it online at http://www.pakiztan.tv/AryTV.html

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good over by Akhtar. Agree with Akram that he needs to lose weight but encouraging.

SO you didn't agree with us and just agreed with Mo Akram that he really needs to lose weight!

 

[Saj]

Akhtar puffing and panting as if he has run a marathon.

Ability and skill is there, but at the moment he can only be afforded to play T20 cricket.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice hit by Cheema - Over Tanvir's head for 4

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

This is how our openers should have played. Swinging wildly.

 

[Pak_NM]

Davison wasn't performing and is now 38 so iirc he was dropped.

Cheema looks dangerous. Get him out!

 

[desi_larka420]

Mohammad Akram has a point but he's pissing me of by keep on targeting Shoaib.....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir continues his out of sorts look!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Poor stuff from ST

 

[Pak_NM]

tanvir looks out of sorts. Get him out the attack and bring in Sohail Khan.

 

[jusarrived]

Where is that guy Davison or Davidson at? I remember him from the T20WC where he blasted NZ

& the 100 he got 0ff 69 balls in ODI WC against WI!
