Momo is Pissed.

Yaar can you get me Nicholas's phone number? I want to talk to him in my native Punjabi. :iamlegend

 

[JeeraBlade]

Now shouldn't Sami been retained in place of camels like Gul and Rana...

Still better than --------- (fill in the name of your choice of animal) keyboard critics. At least selectors are selecting them.

 

[Cheguvera]

stare at rana's hair, he'd probably even pay you for it

On the contrary Rana who is probably in debt by getting the transplant in the first place, may just charge you for looking at his hair...

 

[insaaniyat]

we need fire power at the top

just hope our openers do good. because YK # 3 will take all the fire power away

 

[Momo]

Pakistan should win this one. Great recovery. Afridi rules.

[sali]

Rana+ Gul giving 117 in 17 overs at 6.88 avg
Rest bowling 33 ovs for 150 at 4.5.

Good bowling by Ajmal, Afridi and Ameer. We missed Asif.

 

[abcanada]

268..................... not happening unless Butt gets a 100 and Afridi scores a quick 30/40.
No hope from others

:Sami

 

[cricfan967]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

 

[Cheguvera]

sami, rana and gul should be baned to play ever for pak again.....they are donkey bowlers...!

Sami a donkey...I guess you missed the first morning of the Sydney Test...

 

[pakistani]

Rana+ Gul giving 117 in 17 overs at 6.88 avg
Rest bowling 33 ovs for 150 at 4.5.

Good bowling by Ajmal, Afridi and Ameer. We missed Asif.

and malik

 

[imshally81]

Pakistan should win this one. Great recovery. Afridi rules.

inshallah

 

[pakistani]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

yup

 

[Seen Sheen]

,,:umarakmal, are key to our chances

 

[iafzal]

just hope our openers do good. because YK # 3 will take all the fire power away

same ol insaaniyat

 

[cricfan967]

Seamers return to haunt Bangladesh

LOL

 

[Momo]

I think he has now won Twit of the series. Yousuf & Akmal made a good run but Nicholas is a legend.

Yusuf and Akmal will need to work really hard to catch up to Nicholas. Only the Bangladesh skipper come near him in terms of sacrificing self respect.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We should win......

If we knew how to chase which we don't.

 

[kingusama92]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

Of course.

 

[saadjhussain]

,,:umarakmal, are key to our chances

:akmal

 

[adzzy786]

NY 1 From UK Up??

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Inshallah we will chase this down!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yaar can you get me Nicholas's phone number? I want to talk to him in my native Punjabi. :iamlegend

And I think I know how Pathans do their talking when they are really frank

 

[Wanton]

Sami a donkey...I guess you missed the first morning of the Sydney Test...

it was only the first morning of sydney test, nothing more and nothing less....! And what abt 2 innings of Sydney test?

 

[cricfan967]

Of course.

wow! talk about die hard pakistani fan
its 2:10 here!

 

[Dr_Bassim]

come on guyz....
support the team....
we can chase 268 ..... we have good batsman
and we will won inshallah

NOT if :
younus comes and plays slowly at no 3
salman butt goes into his shell
Afridi comes when the required rate is 10 per over...

 

[amar1212]

aal iz well.. we can win this..only if Yunis, Yusuf, Malik decide to show up this time.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

yup!

 

[saadjhussain]

NY 1 From UK Up??

yeah

 

[cricfan967]

Inshallah will make a century (if he can get up)

 

[iZeeshan]

We'll make it 1-1

Should be a great game.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

yup

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

wow! talk about die hard pakistani fan
its 2:10 here!

lol yeah, i could expect anytime now for my mom to yell at me.

 

[kingusama92]

wow! talk about die hard pakistani fan
its 2:10 here!

I think we're beyond die hard. Die hard are those that even bother to watch this team despite them losing every match prior to this one in Australia.

I would say we are immortal.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

We'll make it 1-1

Should be a great game.

Inshallah we will win in the end.

 

[saadjhussain]

Inshallah will make a century (if he can get up)

century for the amount of cups of tea he consumes

 

[kingusama92]

lol yeah, i could expect anytime now for my mom to yell at me.

I got those bases covered as I persuaded my mom prior to the match.

 

[Seen Sheen]

267,
buhat mushkil hai yar

 

[cricfan967]

lol yeah, i could expect anytime now for my mom to yell at me.

LOL I know exactly how you feel
I'm okay though because i'm "studying for an exam" and the match is coincidentally on.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

I think we're beyond die hard. Die hard are those that even bother to watch this team despite them losing every match prior to this one in Australia.

I would say we are immortal.

Agree, only the Pakistan team can make one feel like this.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Umer Gul 10 overs 70 runs... killer !!!

 

[Momo]

We'll make it 1-1

Should be a great game.

That's the spirit! Let's get the bottles ready.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

LOL I know exactly how you feel
I'm okay though because i'm "studying for an exam" and the match is coincidentally on.

LOL! I used that excuse on thursday when i had a french exam the next day, today i need a different excuse.

 

[nitrous]

Will have to be pretty bad bowling from Australia if Pakistan win...

Australia to clinch the match by 35-45 runs

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

If Pak wins today i will go to affy's every match night!

 

[adzzy786]

So True

 

[saadjhussain]

ahem

 

[kingusama92]

That's the spirit! Let's get the bottles ready.

You need to think stronger then mere bottles.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

That's the spirit! Let's get the bottles ready.

 

[Momo]

267,
buhat mushkil hai yar

Aese na kaho yaar.

 

[cricfan967]

century for the amount of cups of tea he consumes

[insaaniyat]

[slix10]

[ZAK]

[insaaniyat]

If Pak wins today i will go to affy's every match night!

Insha Allah we will win

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

[azfar wali]

Anyone in Ontario still up?

Yup

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Insha Allah we will win

wah bhai buhut lambi umar hai MashaAllah se..i was just remembering you

 

[imshally81]

afridi should openz today

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Lol, i was just thinking its so funny.. If we win, it will be our first victory in this tour after nearly a month and a half in oblivion
I hope the boys still remember what a win is

 

[cricfan967]

Opening Partnership:


kebab roll for a bat and an aloo for a ball

 

[Momo]

Time for Moin Khan: Target will be tough. Partnerships and singles needed. Pak didn't use new ball well. Later they bowled well, and the result was for everyone to see.

Too much width and too short a length from early bowlers.

The pitch is soildi, no demons. Can win if play well.

 

[saadjhussain]

afridi should openz today

so he can ensure younis comes in in the first over

 

[Uncle Sam]

saving the wickets is the key here !!!

 

[insaaniyat]

same ol insaaniyat

The truth is, we just may need him to play like that and hold the fort. We must rotate strike though.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

afridi should openz today

 

[Momo]

Sydney always helps spinners. Spinners bowled well. Three spinners, just 93 balls. Was good to use Shoaib. Fast bowlers didn't hep as much as they could.

Overall good bowling though.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The pitch has a bit of turn...
I want to see how we play Clarke and Hauritz

 

[ShehryarK]

That's the spirit! Let's get the bottles ready.

Too early in the day for that....

 

[Momo]

Watson played well but was helped by our bowlers.

 

[rhussain33]

Well we made 270 last match with just butt n afridi mainly performing. Keep rotating the strike, bat the overs value ur wicket n we should hav it in the bag. Umar akmal is due a century, he will do it for us today... insha'allah.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The truth is, we just may need him to play like that and hold the fort. We must rotate strike though.

We do not need someone who makes the required run rate already harder than it is...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Watson played well but was helped by our bowlers.

Yeah! We were bowling too short.

 

[saadjhussain]

Too early in the day for that....

probably knocks back the most )

 

[cricfan967]

Who's the youngest person here I bet I can beat it

 

[Momo]

Three hundred was looking on the cards but good pullback by spinners.

 

[insaaniyat]

so he can ensure younis comes in in the first over

Afridi should stay at his orginal position. He has already done his job as a bowler and took a catch. Not expecting too much from his batting today.
