Baluchistan vs Sind and Federal Areas v NWFP | 28/02/2008 to 02/03/2008

Sindh should dismantle Baluchistan without many hassles. I expect the F.A vs N.W.F.P game to be a closely fought affair. They're two decent teams trying to make a point.
 
Fedral vs Sind looks a good one to watch. It is at Diamond Club ground Islamabad

Did any of these games got TV coverage? Can't believe Bhanja is on his way to his career saving 50:(
 
I might go n watch the match tomorrow or may be day after tomorrow! The first day's scores tells that the pitch is favouring the bowlers big time!! I think Sind made only 1 change...Fahad Khan replaced our Pollock(Uzair-ul-Haq)!
What's happened to Sind!!! :(

Another career saving move......he has not signed for ICL! Don't be surprised to see him in the test team against Aus - if they come at all!
 
Danish Kaneria and Faisal Iqbal scoring runs lol!

Horrible.

I pray that he doesn't get selected for Australia !

Shahid Beast Afridi scored a truck load of 5 runs before falling to the mighty Faisal Irfan.

I sure as hell hope he doesn't get selected for the Australia tests, that's for sure!
 
Haven't watched the games but the scores are a bit disappointing. Anwer Ali and Wahab Riaz have been the stand out fast bowlers of this competition and should be in the squad for the series against AUS.

Can't wait to see Bhanja vs. Lee, that's cricket at its best right there :)

That would be entertaining though, Bhanja hitting Lee all around the ground.. being the beast of a batsman that he is.

Disappointing batting display by Sindh and Balochistan though.. what happened there?
 
What is wrong with Sindh? It was supposed to be a beastly performing team, I mean, it has Latif, Manzoor, Afridi...etc!

Not to mention Fawad, Naumanullah, HASAN RAZA (who does not play for some reason)
 
Dani the legend again picking up two tailenders. Fantastic work.

On a side note, both Anwar Ali and Sohail Khan need to atleast be in the international squad for Pakistan.

Hasan Raza signed up for ICL after being screwed so many times.
 
Sindh Won by 6 wkts, Sohail Khan takes 6-21 in second inns!
 
Amazing. Bowled Baluchistan out for 42 in 18 overs.

Match figures:

Sohail Khan: 19.2-6-59-7

Anwar Ali: 26-11-53-7
 
Sind is playing all its matches on green wickets....
it's time to expose Punjab on this wicket too...Punjab have been playing on graveyards in this match!!

Pakistan would be exposed on a green wicket. Forget the provinces.

Every team in the world would be exposed on green wickets. We're not the only ones.
 
good to see there are loads of lbws and bowled but something tells me there something in the pitch for bowlers. Can anyone confirm.

Isn't National Stadium famous for batting collapses (39-6 anyone...) and has the tendency for movement of the pitch due to its location.

the 39-6 was in the first innings.

but this 42 all out was in the last innnings and also in the last innings the pitch tends to helps the spinners and not the pacers. so overall it was a great effort from both sohail and anwar
 
Even if there is movement off the pitch so many lbw's and bowled's is a good sign..

apart from Sohail Khan and Whab Riaz, I like the look of Anwar Ali although he is raw and very injury prone.

The PCB should have ensured that Anwar and Jamshed/ayub got the best advice and coaching, instead they were left to join the PCB and bowl the occsional game, which wont give them the skills and experience

All looks very promising...however can anyone tell me hat the standard of batting was like? i.e. was it the usual rubbish that our first class system produces?
 
We should appreciate the effort of balochistan bowlers to take wickets against a very strong sindh side.
Bowlers must have bowled well no doubt about it... but i think the pitch is also assisting the fast bowlers for sure ...
 
Ouch 42 all out.

Ended as a rather one sided encounter. I presume that Sindh are probably top of the 5 team table now?

Yeah thats been the problem in the tournament so far. We have either seen high scoring draws or some very low scoring games. The Sindh NWFP was the only time they got the pitch right.

Did not watch the game but bhanja outscored the entire Baluchistan team so that is a good indicator of the batting standards.

Khurram Manzoor 2 failures on a green top was the biggest dissapoinment in the game for me.
 
Afaq Raheem only scored 31.

He had a really good opportunity to make a strong case in this tournament and he has pretty much failed in every innings. Real shame.

Fantastic by Sind, Afridi must really be a brutally aggressive captain

I hope the PCB take note. We need someone who you KNOW is going to select aggressive bowlers, set aggressive fields and try to take the game away from the opposition
 
After a huge century in the last game, Sohail Tanvir brought back to earth with a first ball duck. Cricket can be a real leveller cant it.
 
With the technique that Tanvir has, I don't think the field will be too level through his career as far as batting goes.

Yup, Tanvir loves those cross bat shots not to mention he does not have many shot on the off side. I am just surprised how he made that century. If he does not improve his technique he will not be able to perform with the bat at the highest level.
