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

[NJamal]

83/4 after 24 overs

 

[Hassan0987]

Nazmul back to bowl

 

[QazzarFan]

This Hammad Azam looks like a good solid player

 

[Hassan0987]

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.

Spot on

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan going the way SL did in the last game.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Please stay calm Umar. Your allowed to play out a maiden.

 

[Walid from Bangladesh]

Our Top 3 wicket taker playing. Rubel in place of Sahadat and This is surely the best attack of Bangladesh.

 

[leatherface58]

Lol razzak 7 overs for 11 runs. test match cricket at its best.

 

[ads101]

Both these shouldn't worry about run rate. Forge a partnership first before accelerating. Get to at least 20 odd each.

 

[NJamal]

Nazmul back

 

[Hassan0987]

I feel a brainfart coming soon :umarakmal

umar doesn't have luxury of free garbage being bowled to him in form of cheema and wahab

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Does Umar think hes showing maturity and a good temperament by blocking 3 balls and going for a ma shot on the fourth, they should do it in singles and put the bad one away, Hammad should lead the way

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Can someone tell me if this is the same pitch where we played india. looks like typical bangla pitch on slow side, if that is the case ajmal and afridi will roll over bangla. evn if we score 220..

 

[Bullet Drive]

Umar has to score big today to silence his critics. I'm confident he will. Inshallah both score tons.

 

[Hassan0987]

Good single

 

[Bullet Drive]

Nice from Umar. Single.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Lol Bangladesh seem to be playing like Australia

 

[Britstani]

Pakistan Zindabad

 

[Walid from Bangladesh]

Bring Shakib now. Hammad won't survive long.

 

[talma]

Pakistan have overtaken the Saffers as the No. 1 chokers. Tuk Tuk philosophy contributes to that. As Imran said, 'two ways to approach any game, aggressive or defensive mindset'. No need to figure out what approach this team is using with Misbah at the helm.

 

[PAQS43]

Why is Umar now playing slowwwly?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Whatmore's work can be seen shining through this match :whatmore

 

[dhump]

umar doesn't have luxury of free garbage being bowled to him in form of cheema and wahab

still dont make sense to go after the best bowler of the inning by far.

 

[Britstani]

Lol Bangladesh seem to be playing like Australia

And pakistan seem to be playing like bangladesh lolll

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just a single off the over. Shakib still hasn't bowled!

 

[NJamal]

84/4 after 25 overs

 

[dhump]

Why is Umar now playing slowwwly?

abaay Kisi ko khelnay bhi dega bhai tu ???

 

[PAQS43]

Bring Shakib now. Hammad won't survive long.

Look at these fellow pprs. This is called Confidence.

 

[Hassan0987]

Shakib to bowl now

 

[carbon11]

we'll be lucky to post 220

 

[Bullet Drive]

We need to go at around 4.5 and over till the 40th over. Then accelearte.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shakib on.

 

[NJamal]

Shakib into attack

 

[Justcrazy]

84 / 4 after 25 overs

 

[Random Aussie]

With all due respect to PP the story here is Bangladesh.

This will be massive for them if they win. They might finally have learnt how to win.

 

[PAQS43]

abaay Kisi ko khelnay bhi dega bhai tu ???

HE HE HE

 

[down4whatever]

Umar tuk tuk Akmal lol

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hafeez needs to realize his job is to bat 50 overs and not get in and throw it away!

Hafeez and his brain farts are no longer a shock!

 

[Bullet Drive]

A few boundaries will get the fielders back.

 

[Hassan0987]

Single taken

 

[talma]

Half the innings is gone and only 85 runs.

 

[PAQS43]

with all due respect to pp the story here is bangladesh.

This will be massive for them if they win. They might finally have learnt how to win.

+1

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need boundaries here.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan will be lucky to get 200 here!

 

[Watsupdoc]

tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk

 

[Bullet Drive]

Just 1 off the over. Pathetic batting from Hafeez now puts our youngest batsmen under immense pressure!

 

[pun500]

bangla absolutely turning on the screws

 

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Umar, doing a Hafeez here. Only player who can do it for them from here is Hammad

 

[Zane]

the heck is going on here? are we even playing to win this game?

 

[MIB]

Lol! This Asia cup is full of fun..

 

[PAQS43]

85/4 after 26 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Bullet Drive]

You can't blame these two youngsters for going so slow. It's all down to poor shots from top order.

 

[Hassan0987]

Looks like Afridi is next, Sarfraz not padded up

 

[Bullet Drive]

Afridi to get a 5 wicket haul. Pakistan will win!

 

[sada90]

this is pathetic
Pak need atleast 300 which is impossible

 

[Hassan0987]

Wow, four by Hammad

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a shot. Was a 6 I'm sure.

 

[velu]

need to get :umarakmal

 

[qamar84]

four or six ?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Come on Hammad! Hit some more!

 

[NJamal]

by Hammad

 

[Hassan0987]

And a single after the boundry, good batting Hammad

 

[CalculatedRisk]

:4

 

[down4whatever]

Its alwasy tuk tuk or slog with this team.

 

[Britstani]

Yes but its up to these youngsters now to show what there made of....other countires 'youngsters' seem to show that they have what it takes....aka Kholi and co....but ours?

Its high time that Akmal and co deliver when needed

 

[Hassan0987]

Single to Umar

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Hammad is a cleaner striker of the ball than Akmal

 

[Bullet Drive]

Much better from both!

 

[Zane]

I hope it's afridi's day with the bat today or else we will be disapointed

 

[talma]

This pair is finally rotating the strike, unlike that loser Hafeez.

 

[ads101]

haha Hammad. Gave me a massive shock.

Hard for these two to salvage anything, but hope they do it. Problem is they are no under pressure not only to rebuild after a terrible start and not many batsmen left, but they also will have to worry about run rate soon. Top order played rubbish. At least if you don't score quickly, set up some sort of foundation. Don't do none.

 

[Justcrazy]

did the damage with the bat for Pakistan...... Poor stuff from a person who has been playing the game so long and that too in final.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hammad is playng like Misbah... tuk tuking and then hitting a boundary...

 

[Hassan0987]

7 runs of that over

 

[qamar84]

impress the way hammad batting future legend

 

[NJamal]

92/4 after 27 overs

 

[PAQS43]

Why so silent after the four

 

[Justcrazy]

Just 23 overs ( 138 balls ) left

 

[Bullet Drive]

Partnership going at 4 an over. Need to change that to 4.5 and then move higher and higher. Pakistan will win this match providing these two stay at the wicket till the 43rd over. Big hits can come once these are settled. Afridi to come alongside Gul.
