Bangladesh v Pakistan | Asia Cup Final | Dhaka | Mar 22, 2012 | Pakistan Innings

[dirk diggler]

and w're down to the tail already

 

[dhump]

Let's hope we see the real face of Pakistani cricket now...

which is ?

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Time to see what Azam is made of, i think Pak will be all out before 200 today.

 

[NJamal]

Hammad comes to bat

 

[James]

Hafeez is just awful.

 

[pun500]

why the hell is afridi hiding behind azam ??? ..i am sorry but that is cowardice

 

[down4whatever]

Looks like Gul will have to score the runs again, lol.

 

[IAJ]

I am not watching the match but Misbah was out in 15th over and now we are in 22 over and Umar Akmal has faced just 5 balls?

What on earth is Hafeez doing by keeping Umar away from strike and just blocking?

An there he goes, what a rubbish rubbish batsman! Consumed so many deliveries and made only 40

 

[cricmylife]

UA and Hammad will now cope with the pressure! oxymoron?

 

[Lara400]

Block block block block block block, whoopsie I have piled up the pressure, what shall I do now???

Haven't we seen that before!!!!

 

[Hassan0987]

Wicket maiden by Razzak 70-4

 

[dhump]

I think Hammad can play inning of his life time today his first real impression great opportunity for youngster.

 

[PAQS43]

azam starts slowwww.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

bangladesh keeper makes me laugh, hahaha he is pressuring pak batsmen. hahah lets see if he does that when lala is in form and hitting them out of park

 

[NJamal]

Wicket maiden by Razzak. 70/4 after 22 overs

 

[IAJ]

why the hell is afridi hiding behind azam ??? ..i am sorry but that is cowardice

This is actually a good move.

Finally we can watch the real Hammad Azam, let's see what he can do here.

 

[cricketpassion]

that the test for Hammad Azam batting .

 

[talma]

Pakistan 170-180 runs all out. The Tigers win in the 43rd over.

 

[Hassan0987]

Now Umar finding the fielders

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting , in fact disgusting.

 

[dhump]

azam starts slowwww.

I would be more then happy if we get some one with positive mindset rather then Afridi mindset.

 

[cricmylife]

bangladesh keeper makes me laugh, hahaha he is pressuring pak batsmen. hahah lets see if he does that when lala is in form and hitting them out of park

man I am so hoping for this ... aap kay mun main ghee shakar!

 

[Mobashir]

umar akmal has played 5 balls in 7.1 overs. i can't believe itttttttttttttt

 

[Statsman]

Abdur Razzak(sla) 6.0 3 8 1 1.33

OMG!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Such a horrible innings.

 

[Hassan0987]

Lol @ Shahadat

 

[CalculatedRisk]

even BD bowlers trash talking to Pak batsmen

 

[Walid from Bangladesh]

Shakib yet to bowl!

 

[pun500]

This is actually a good move.

Finally we can watch the real Hammad Azam, let's see what he can do here.

yes send a youngster to bat with another youngster in a final under pressure situation while your most experienced player sits on the bench

 

[down4whatever]

Thats just Hafeez playing his natural game, i,e. Test match inning.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

why the hell is afridi hiding behind azam ??? ..i am sorry but that is cowardice

A bowler hiding behind an all-rounder?

 

[Hassan0987]

No ball Free hit coming up, Hammad to face

 

[Ahson8]

Free Hit

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please hit a 6!

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Shahadat hussain upset his own rhythm after talking to Akmal

 

[talma]

It was Hafeez's approach right from ball 1 that set the pace for the scoring rate. Wasn't helped by the stork run of Tuk Tuk Misbah.

 

[AFG_Brit]

why the hell is afridi hiding behind azam ??? ..i am sorry but that is cowardice

I am sure its a captain and coach decision and not Afridi's that hammad came ahead of Afridi.

 

[cricmylife]

hahahaha shabash akmal!

 

[Runner Up]

I am not watching it live but how's the wicket? is it slow or Hafeez did what his coach told him to do?

 

[Hassan0987]

I just noticed, Shakib hasn't bowled yet, wow

 

[inzy_paratha]

I dont get it ? Where is the Hafeez of a few months ago when he was still on his 'purple streak'. Even when he wasnt scoring as many runs he looks much more agressive than this . Pitch looks very slow though , runs seem to be very hard to come by and Hafeez does not really have the ability to play with soft hands and rotate the strike quickly.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Come on, hurry up!

 

[down4whatever]

People seem to forget this is the same team that got bowled out by Canadian part timers in the world cup. Too many test players in the ODI team spoil the broth, etc. lol.

 

[Hassan0987]

WOW Hammad hit it for a SIX

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Razzaq style hit

 

[qamar84]

 

[Hassan0987]

Great shot, over cover for six

 

[Ahson8]

:6

 

[Justcrazy]

:6

 

[Runner Up]

Haha good one Hammad

 

[dhump]

6 of the free hit.

 

[sada90]

Ramiz are you on drugs ..he is not afridi

 

[deviously~fading~away]

why the hell is afridi hiding behind azam ??? ..i am sorry but that is cowardice

Afridi is a team player. The coach & captain make the move.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hammad needs to rotate strike too. Big fan of both these players.

 

[carbon11]

what a youngsta beauty

 

[JibranAnsari]

I am not watching it live but how's the wicket? is it slow or Hafeez did what his coach told him to do?

He did it against sri lanka as well and the innings he played against BD was 89 off 127 deliveries. he is a limited player with selfish attitude.

 

[cricmylife]

 

[Hassan0987]

Single to Hammad, well played

 

[Bullet Drive]

Single. Nicely done.

 

[Equinox]

Lol Akmal would be snapped in half by Shahadat.

 

[pun500]

i bring sakib for azam ..his backlift is ideal for sakin to fire it in

 

[talma]

Hamad rotating the strike...

 

[NJamal]

80/4 after 23 overs

 

[Hassan0987]

Single to Umar, 10 runs of the over, and no risky shots, why can't the other batsman do it this way?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great from Umar. Lovely strike rotation. I wish he could play like this all the time, in fact he could. Its just his head.

 

[jusarrived]

finally a good move to send Azam up the order

 

[Areesh]

This shahadat guy is trying to behave too much aggressive. He is not worth it.

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

a 100 run partnership between these two... any takers?

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Hammad azam made me little happy becoz he hit a six like afridi, so now i will let him score 50 runs ....

 

[Justcrazy]

80 / 4 after 23

 

[Bullet Drive]

Stay calm Umar

 

[talma]

Watching Umar trying to play a pull or hook shot off a ball above his shoulders like he did the last time they played.

 

[carbon11]

up to these 2 youngstas now for a competitive score

 

[Hassan0987]

Brainfart not good from Akmal

 

[Runner Up]

He did it against sri lanka as well and the innings he played against BD was 89 off 127 deliveries. he is a limited player with selfish attitude.

Most of the our batsmen have defensive attitude that is the big reason most of the time they let us down in crucial matches.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Excellent single. Brilliant from Umar.

 

[talma]

Finally scoring rate is above 1 run per over.

 

[dhump]

umar akmal was inches close to a brain fart why to go after a bowler who is bowling well silly logic this is why he is not Kohli, remember how Kohli played Ajmal playing while staying in his crease and look at Umar.

 

[Bullet Drive]

These too must bat till 40 overs before any big shots come out.
