)

 

[the Great Khan]

lol..relax guys its only some mickey mouse matches..yes we wanna see asia win but lets just enjoy the spectacle...the batsmen seem to be very careless about playing in this tournament though..

 

[Jedi Knight]

maiden by Boje

 

[whyhkk]

this does have implications with the super series teams

 

[Jedi Knight]

Sanga bowled by Kallis


Goodnight Asia

 

[Jedi Knight]

96-6 24.4 ovs

 

[Jedi Knight]

Its going to be interesting to see Steyn bowl to Shoaib later on...

 

[Jedi Knight]

Come on Razzler

Get the fireworks out

 

[Khalil]

Its going to be interesting to see Steyn bowl to Shoaib later on...

why ?

 

[DM]

why ?

Shoaib struck him in the body earlier, apparently making the crowd liven up

 

[Jedi Knight]

Shoaib bowled 1 beamer and 1 high full toss at him

He wasn't a happy bunny...

 

[Hydro]

kumble edges it for 4

 

[Jedi Knight]

kallis bowls a nasty bouncer to Razzaq who gloves it to fine leg

 

[Hydro]

jedi it was to kumble the bouncer

 

[Jedi Knight]

Kool

I thought it looked a bit ungainly...

 

[spongebob]

rotating the strike well here

 

[spongebob]

lets see if they can handle pollock!

 

[Billy]

Kallis bowling well eh?

That's the first time for a while.

 

[Shoaib A]

I have a feeling that razzaq will see asia home from here..

 

[Shoaib A]

batting very cleverly...rotating strike well..

 

[spongebob]

Pollock bowling his final over. Need to see him out.

 

[Amjid Javed]

come on razzaq see Asia home and hopefully akthar fireworks with bat later will finish it...!

 

[spongebob]

They just need to be sensible from here, singles will win it.

 

[Rob H]

come on razzaq see Asia home and hopefully akthar fireworks with bat later will finish it...!

And if he gets a first ball duck. It'll be the 1st plane home with a back injury

 

[Amjid Javed]

Asia 149/6 now...

 

[Tupac]

boo.... afridi is being boring!

no sixes yet... refund the crowd its money

maro maro afridi... smash kallis (best test all rounder in world ) )
around the park....

good job amjid, afridi gone to kallis

 

[Rob H]

Razzaq's strike rate is under 50. Even Kumble's is higher.

 

[Imran_The Man!]

amazing. Rana doing exceptionally well.

Yup, and Mushy takes 6 wickets today as well!

I donT know what was in that biriyani my sister fed Mushy and Rana when they were round for dinner when Sussex played Hants a couple of week ago; but they've been steam rolling the opposition between them since then !

(Gotta be a coincidence , but the way the Asia X1 is playing, I think we need to ship some of her Biriyani over to Pak b4 the England tour starts, for the rest of the squad )

C'mon Razzak, show them how its done !

 

[spongebob]

Kumble gone!!!

 

[Rob H]

This could be a tense finish. 4.86 an over still required. Good game

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Who's in next ?

 

[spongebob]

Don't think the run rate should be an issue. If they can hang in there, they will make the runs.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

razzaq...welll he is playing well...but he always takes the single of the first ball...i guess he has lots of trust in his indian friends

 

[Rob H]

38 from 48 balls with 3 wickets remaining

 

[Imran_The Man!]

They can do it for barring a stupid shot slection or a bad ump decision

 

[Imran_The Man!]

Whoops, sorry, double post.

 

[Rob H]

why didnt you just edit your first post instead of making a new post

 

[spongebob]

Oh No, Razzaq is out

 

[whyhkk]

razzq out

 

[Rob H]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
a very tense finish now
30 off 37 with 2 wickets remaining

 

[Amjid Javed]

razzaq gone to a pie thrower boje... wow no shock there!

 

[Imran_The Man!]

B****er Gonna be tight now

 

[Naz]

Typical of razzaq to never finish things off. He will never be a michael bevan.

 

[spongebob]

4 from Khan. 24 from 31 required now.

 

[Gasherbrum]

razzaq gone to a pie thrower boje... wow no shock there!

need to frame this post and hang it on the collective PP wall. he is the highest run scorer for the Asian XI today, but i guess that doesn't count if a pie thrower can get you (specially if the main bowlers who demolished the top order can't).

 

[whyhkk]

steyn has a chance to give shoaib a beating

 

[spongebob]

19 from 23. Ooooh it's getting tense now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 for akthar

[Rob H]

[Rob H]

[Amjid Javed]

[Jedi Knight]

[Khalil]

12 runs needede

Two sixes can do it

 

[Rob H]

6666666666666666666666666666 Akhtar

Whatever the result, this match has turned out to be a tense thriller.

 

[whyhkk]

[Jedi Knight]

Shoaib gone!!!!!!!!!

 

[Imran_The Man!]

[DM]

Well played by Akhtar though - contributed well with both bat and ball
