[ali_ed2006]

How farhat has managed to score 34 I will never understand.

 

[don1990]

Johnson to Imran Farhat, FOUR, full toss and easy for Farhat, who drives it down the ground to the long on fence for a boundary.

 

[ShehryarK]

Bad ball but had to be put away well. Good stuff from Farhat.

 

[Ace Base]

Now Imran Farhat is just taking the mick! Haha! Well done, MashaAllah! Go get a 50!

[Afridi_Fan]

[ShehryarK]

Dot you mean 'Sehwag Farhat'?

Well...why not

Sehwag's footwork's no better than Farhat's!

 

[octavian]

Dot you mean 'Sehwag Farhat'?

Sehwag's better than Bradman. Farhat has some way to go

 

[cricket_fever]

Now Imran Farhat is just taking the mick! Haha! Well done, MashaAllah! Go get a 50!

[Ace Base]

20 more runs and Imran Farhat will have an average of 25 for the series so far.

[ShehryarK]

[cricket_fever]

Mashallah Pakistan...btw, is this the backlash ponting expected???

 

[saj001]

DId he glove it?

 

[Oxy]

Gloved - falls short of gully

 

[Cheguvera]

Not a catch...

 

[Ace Base]

wsalaam brother..wow its been a while! where have you been hiding??

Akhil Kareem

I've just been extremely preoccupied with domestic matters. Alhumdulillah, Allah sets us tests that we can always accomplish. I hope you and your family are well.

 

[saj001]

Nope it hit his Arm

 

[insaaniyat]

hmmmm....would b better if both were scoring though

I just want to see runs creeping up, lead shrinking, and no wicket loss keeping it positve

 

[Astro]

Bobby: "@Nabil, I would just like to inform you, that you shouldn't speak to early, as everyone knows Pakistan are the most unpredictable team in the world at the moment, one out, could mean collapse. Word of advice, just stay on the edge of your seat "




no doubt, imrans safe

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Watson hits Farhat.

 

[Oxy]

Painful though - off the wrist I think

 

[KA$H]

Farhat dont go for an attacking rebuke

ouch it was glove

 

[Cheguvera]

No it hit his forearm as it came off the bat...would not have been out...

 

[saj001]

Drinks

 

[ZAK]

Some guys in the crowd are dressed up as Richie Benaud.

 

[On_the_up]

Drinks

 

[itduzz]

dam...farhat injured

 

[don1990]

drinks...........

 

[Oxy]

Is that Inti's Gatorade bottle on the pitch

 

[insaaniyat]

No it hit his forearm as it came off the bat...would not have been out...

agreed

 

[itduzz]

Is that Inti's Gatorade bottle on the pitch

[Oxy]

No it hit his forearm as it came off the bat...would not have been out...

Hit part of his glove - hotspot cam

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

-69

 

[KA$H]

lol i do like the poker soundtrack

 

[cricket_fever]

what happened to damaad/?

 

[Astro]

batting for imran means luck, overconfident crappy shots that couldve been out, and tortue


first the finger, now the wrist

 

[Ace Base]

Lets hope akhi that he can aim higher, Insha Allah

Aameen! I'm just mentioning little landmarks that I hope he'll be aware of as well. Well, I don't expect him to work out his series average but I do hope these batsmen go out in the middle setting themselves little goals and then build from there, ball by ball, run by run.

 

[*sallu*]

thats drinks and a great hour and 10 minutes for pakistan

its set up the match beautifully for us

 

[ali_ed2006]

Is that Inti's Gatorade bottle on the pitch

) ) )

 

[insaaniyat]

Is that Inti's Gatorade bottle on the pitch

no, the one inti uses they couldn't fit it on the cart

 

[On_the_up]

i've never concentrated so hard

tough work this

Thanks, we appreciate your efforts.

 

[ShehryarK]

agreed

Not sure, you're right it was arm/wrist, but it seemed it might be the wrist-band of the glove? If that's the case, would be out.

 

[murphyslaw79]

even if it hit the glove, and was caught, it would have been not out, as his hand was off the bat when it hit him.

 

[Cheguvera]

Hit part of his glove - hotspot cam

No hot spot shown...

 

[On_the_up]

Watson to complete the over

 

[ZAK]

Is that Inti's Gatorade bottle on the pitch

[Ace Base]

Sorry Mods for the non-cricket related chit chat in thsi thread. Just catching up on old friends. Will stop now! Honest!

 

[abcanada]

Farhat keeping the Physio on his toes.

 

[KA$H]

Gotta give farat credit - he is prepared to wear a few - limitations of his technique i guess - but its not easy being hit by a cricket ball

 

[ShehryarK]

No hot spot shown...

It was on ours, maybe not shown on all channels?

 

[Cheguvera]

It was on ours, maybe not shown on all channels?

Possible...

Plus glove is moot since his hand came off the handle...

 

[saj001]

1 more to butt

 

[KA$H]

has teh pitch eased out?

 

[abcanada]

Cricinfo headlines have no confidence......... wonder if they would have a different headline if this was India facing Aus. Current headline:

Pakistan openers continue to fight

 

[Astro]

if someone as skinny as aamer got hit there batting, he woulda been out for over a week from injury

 

[On_the_up]

Good leave by IF, the last ball of watson's over after being hit. Would have been so easy to have a slash.

 

[ShehryarK]

Aameen! I'm just mentioning little landmarks that I hope he'll be aware of as well. Well, I don't expect him to work out his series average but I do hope these batsmen go out in the middle setting themselves little goals and then build from there, ball by ball, run by run.

Absolutely! They've done some of the hard work, now time to move on and play a memorable innings....one that they can tell their grand-kids about, insha Allah!

Not every day Pakistani batsmen get runs on green tops against a quality pace bowling attack....

 

[abcanada]

has teh pitch eased out?

Not much of a difference....... just that Sami/Asif are not bowling right now.

 

[the Great Khan]

this match reminds me of lahore vs india 2004..farhat made a 100 that day!

 

[octavian]

I am missing Waqar in the commentary box

 

[saj001]

Farhat batting way out of his crease

to rule out lbw?
