England v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Rosebowl | 22/09/10 | Eng Innings

[NJamal]

78/3 after 21 overs

 

[Levity]

England effectively 78-4 after 21.

 

[Batman]

England | 3/78 | 21 Overs

4 off the over!

 

[funkygene000]

restrict them to 100

 

[Poison]

This pitch is looking very tricky. And its going to deteriorate further under lights. Bleak chances for Pakistan

Darn it. I was hoping for a good game.

Going to sleep now bye guise

 

[ZAK]

78/3 after 21 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good fielding by GULLA

|Reverse sweep by Morgan

 

[NJamal]

Good fielding by Gul

 

[adzzy786]

More spin from Pakistan as Afridi brings himself on. And England's physio is out again to attend to Bell - who appears to have tweaked his groin. Yousuf trots over and puts a hand on his shoulder and asks if he's ok, that's nice to see, good spirit and smiles all round. Bell is going to have a runner - Steve Davies

 

[AZ]

great fielding by Gully!

 

[jattafridi]

atleast 1 wicket

 

[KingKhanWC]

Brilliant from Gul.

 

[skittles]

I hope the paks give it to the brits- the only reason they don't mess with India as much is the financial clout of the BCCI. Despite that there was some poor behaviour when India toured last time, and thankfully won the tests. A Pak win here would be great...!

 

[wez4all]

win or loose does'nt matter, our team is giving its all and thats matter. fingers crossed

 

[NJamal]

2 to Morgan

 

[Inswinger]

Rameez is on. God help us.

 

[IAJ]

Ajmal struggling today, but not getting help from the fielders either

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Darn it. I was hoping for a good game.

Going to sleep now bye guise

At only 1:20 in the morning?!

 

[AZ]

ckmoooon boys, don't be loose!

 

[uzy99]

This type of batting will take the game away from us.

 

[Levity]

Need to keep the runs down in this period of the game.

 

[lakha84]

restrict them to 100

now you my kind of my guy 17 runs 7 wickets INSHALLAH!!!

 

[Maula Jutt]

The Markhor falling all over the field in pursuit of the ball but the ball eluding him every time. Guess it's time for another bite to teach the ball who's the boss.

 

[NJamal]

84/3 after 22 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Singles coming more easily now

84/3 after 22 overs

 

[Batman]

England | 3/84 | 22 Overs

6 off the over!

 

[Poison]

Rameez is on. God help us.

"Flow is missing"

"Morgan means business"

It's begun.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

need a wicket guys...this could get ugly very quickly

 

[Momo]

Replace Ajmal by Hafeez. Ajmal can come back later.

 

[iZeeshan]

I have to ask ... Is it the pitch or Pakistani brilliance?

 

[Legal Eye]

Lost it

 

[KingKhanWC]

The field could come in for Bell. He will struggle to hit over the top with a groin strain.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good one by Afridi

 

[NJamal]

Beaten by Afridi

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Oh no ..Rameez is in the box

 

[adnan yasin]

5 fielders should be in the ring atleast

 

[WNC]

A jaffa by Afridi!

Get the Irish out and Ghanta as well

 

[jasimisbest2]

What is a decent score on this pitch?

Anyone who has good knowledge about cricket, does it look like the ball will swing later under lgihts?

Will Swann be effective under lights?

please asnwer

 

[lakha84]

I have to ask ... Is it the pitch or Pakistani brilliance?

i have to say pak brilliance ALHUMDULILLAH

 

[TigerJat]

almost got him

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

win or loose does'nt matter, our team is giving its all and thats matter. fingers crossed

it's good you mentioned this because unfortunately it's easy to see passed that :/

 

[TigerJat]

I'd bring Hafeez back on for Saeed,

 

[NJamal]

89/3 after 23 overs

 

[ZAK]

89/3 after 23 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another dive and another miss by Afridi in the field off his own bowling

 

[lakha84]

need to stop these damn singles

 

[Batman]

England | 3/89 | 23 Overs

5 off the over!

 

[atif.raza]

Afridi getting a brain fart. Bring the fielders up FFS

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ok need to bring fielders in...these singles are getting ridiculous

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Eng will be happy with 230 I think.

 

[Hamxa89]

Afridi moving at the speed of an 80 yr old out there! Need some energy captain

 

[Amir]

LOL Rameez is like "Bell can amp it up..."

Um...Bell is not really a batsmen who can accelerate at a great pace. Rameez again showing his expertise.

 

[adzzy786]

Need to keep the runs down in this period of the game.

Need Wickets

 

[Poison]

Pitch is flat except for a bit of turn. And only Swann to negotiate today, no more Yardy kutta.

Big relief last over, Kamran's first yell of 'ghomaaaaaaaay giiiiiiiiii'. Normality is back *sigh* :akmal

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

now you my kind of my guy 17 runs 7 wickets INSHALLAH!!!

haha that would be a miracle

 

[NJamal]

Hafeez comes back

 

[nads_rocks]

Need both these 2 out, they are milking the singles and are now settling in, need these 2 wickets and need them NOW!!!

 

[Maula Jutt]

Colly's looks fine now.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

never thought i'd say that but....

bring back hafeez into bowling!

 

[ZAK]

Hafeez comes back.

 

[lakha84]

hafeez on

 

[Levity]

Collingwoods fine, was just delaying tactics from England

 

[babu]

well the match is boring. i watch the zong ad with more interest now.

 

[IAJ]

Hafeez is called Professor?

 

[AZ]

Mohd. 'Professor' Hafeez

 

[wez4all]

What is a decent score on this pitch?

Anyone who has good knowledge about cricket, does it look like the ball will swing later under lgihts?

Will Swann be effective under lights?

please asnwer

dont know about good score on this pitch but anyone who follows pak cricket would know anything above 200 and its tough for us to chase.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Rameez taking a dig at Hafeez. He's one to talk!

 

[Poison]

Morgan has missed out on a LOT of boundary balls this innings.

 

[sanakazmi]

Rameez pretending he's friends with the team.

 

[IAJ]

Rameez has no clue about the pakistani players and Bumble is asking him about the players

 

[Poison]

Rameez taking a dig at Hafeez. He's one to talk!

"averages 20 with the bat *laugh*". Didn't Ramiz average something similar?

 

[babu]

does have an educated look. not like punk akmal face.

 

[theglitterconspiracy]

England | 3/89 | 23 Overs

5 off the over!

[ZAK]

93/3 after 24 overs.

 

[NJamal]

93/3 after 24 overs

 

[nads_rocks]

Ahh Collingwood caught out!!! Migraine? Shouldn't he be resting, don't look like he's in pain at all

 

[KingKhanWC]

What is a decent score on this pitch?

Anyone who has good knowledge about cricket, does it look like the ball will swing later under lgihts?

Will Swann be effective under lights?

250 can be chased down.

These two are building a partnership.

 

[Batman]

England | 3/93 | 24 Overs

4 off the over!

 

[uzy99]

yaar yeh singles nay damagh kharab kiya huwa hai

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]
