ICL 1st Final | Lahore Badshahs v Hyderabad | 13/11/08

[Saj]

Play due to start in just over 4 hours time.

A repeat of last time's final, but can the Badshahs go one better this time around.

 

[Savak]

I believe last time the Badshah's lost because they had such an easy, defeatless ride to the final and literally took the finals for granted. This time the Badshah's have had to really work hard and come back from a difficult couple of matches to the Final.

Plus i am sure the Badshah's should learn from the previous experience and be more determined to really finish the job this time. They need to work really hard and make sure they dont make crucial mistakes like wide's, no balls, free hits. Please drop Sami as well. He will only go for 35 plus runs in 4 overs with one lucky wicket.

Lol, i am looking forward to Rana's backing away from the stumps of the spinners and smashing huge sixes over long on, long off, straight, cover. I hope he has the brains and intelligence not to do that to the medium pacers though.

 

[SameerM]

us pakistani's always prefer the rough ride, so it gives us more motivation to be efficient.

go badshaaaaaaaaaaah bhais - finish off the zeroes


I am looking forward to the duel of the day:

Mo YOUSUF v's Abdul Razzaq

should be a classic match

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

[salman24]

I wish Badshahs win but A Razzaq plays well,lol

 

[zubair_786_7]

deklena hyderabad hum aarahe he dhoom machaane!lol wicked brilliant by nazir and farhat lol

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

The match is about to begin, I guess 20 more mins!!

 

[Indian Pretending to To Be Pakistani]

Pakistani fans are more intrested in watching this ICL than indians I guess.

 

[hashman]

lets hope sami has a good day today

 

[Dhonifan]

Be warned though, hindi commentary only it seems...

quite fun to hear it - Khaleel ka hunar ka jadoo dekho- 4 runs..
Bhagya bahadur ke saath hai...

 

[On_the_up]

the heroes havent opened the batting with Razzaq last few matches. hoping for some fireworks near the end of the inns like the good old days.

 

[Goldbrain]

Thanks

Dont need commentary as I am at work )

 

[12thMan]

Hyderabad 42-0 after 5 overs

 

[Sparhawk]

Right now hyderabad look on track for a score of 180+, possibly 200+. LB's will have a tough time chasing that, especially with the pressure of the final.

 

[12thMan]

Rana banana stikes. LBW
Hyderabad 49-1 after 5.5

 

[natalia]

WOOHOO rana gets 'em lbw!
1 down now.

49/1 in 5.5

 

[On_the_up]

ranbo gets khalil for 25 in his first over 49-1

 

[12thMan]

das numberi razzaq only gets a single on free hit

 

[asifp]

anyone showing this in the UK?

 

[12thMan]

anyone showing this in the UK?

I think Z Music or Z Cinema

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Imran Farhat has a big backside! So does, Azhar. Them boys need to hit the treadmill.

 

[On_the_up]

Razzaq with his 2nd boundary

 

[12thMan]

Arshad bleeding from his finger after missing a ct & b chance. Will be bowl again? stay tuned

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

tony calling arshad a youngster

 

[On_the_up]

72-1 after 8.3 overs

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Relative to Tony, he is a youngster.

 

[On_the_up]

Razzler taking the attack to the baadshahs, 20 off 11 with 3 fours

 

[Dhonifan]

after saqlain gives a wide, comm says 'yeh hota hai pressure, ab unhe yeh gandi ball ke baad kaptan ki gandi nazar mili...

hilarious!

 

[asifp]

yes thanks , its live on ZEE Music

great to see Saqi live again

 

[12thMan]

I like the hindi commentary. Some words I don't understand but they are inventive and funny. Much better than the same old English one.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

what air is to humans, what water is to fish...god that is an annoying advert.

 

[Dhonifan]

I like the hindi commentary. Some words I don't understand but they are inventive and funny. Much better than the same old English one.

yes, they sound genuinely enthusiastic and bubbly, and say some funny things. btw, even I dont understand some deep hindi words

razzaq, meanwhile, is aiming for his second man of series.

 

[Sparhawk]

Fantastic six by Razzak. He's in the zone tonight.

 

[natalia]

i don't know why inzi has picked arshad khan. he's such a bad spinner. in fact, razzaq just smashed him for six

 

[Dhonifan]

razzaq 35 from 20, hits the first 6

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

the RAZZLER on fire

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

108/1 12 overs razzaq 39* (21)

 

[Serendipity]

ditto, y arshad khana and why suddenly in the finals, dostee yaaree could have been settled earlier

 

[12thMan]

Hero Razzaq 39 off 21 balls
110-1 after 12.1

 

[Sparhawk]

Razzaq's sizing sami up here, the next one might be going into the stands.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

This tournament is evidently a tournament for has beens. Even Mohammad Sami has developed a pot belly. It truly is a sad sight. All the Lahore boys look well over weight.

I guess Mo Yo has gone after the money and soon will start to resemble Azhar Mahmood and Farhats wobbly frame.

 

[Sparhawk]

Jimmy Maher's batting for the opposition: 35(39)

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Comical fielding from Mo Yo. Had ample time to run out razzaq but instead of throwing under arm from 10 feet he tried to hurl down the stumps and missed by a mile. Some things don't change. Lol

 

[Serendipity]

Sami bowling with pace so far, sud not curse him though, not letting razza hit easily but lets wait and see!

 

[DonJee]

Dean Jones on Saqlain
"He has more toys than ToysRUs" hahahaha!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Razzaq handling the spinners Saqlain and Arshad comfortably. I guess that says a lot about Mr Saqlain.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Saqis 3rd over gone for 10, Razzaq smashed a BIG 6. Razzaq 49(26)

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

From behind Azhar looks like Inzi rolling into bowl. )

 

[Dhonifan]

I feel the Heroes losing their way here. They should be aiming for 200 but Maher is happy with singles and remaining not out.

 

[12thMan]

the big screen says 85,000 prople at the ground

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

85,000 plus packed in the stadium. WOW!!!

 

[DonJee]

85,700 IN CROWD?/ You're jokin??? THAT IS JUST FAKE!!!!!

 

[Dhonifan]

sad state of affairs
85,000 in stadium here, and 8500 for the tests

 

[12thMan]

sad state of affairs
85,000 in stadium here, and 8500 for the tests

That was BCCI's fault for 5 day ticket only and stadium outside the city and no public transportation to the stadium. Even the people who would have gone on just weekends probably stayed at home because they don't want to pay for 5 days

 

[Serendipity]

wats going on with all that changing the ball? Inzi does not look happy

 

[12thMan]

Hayward 5000 club soda solid six

 

[DonJee]

sad state of affairs
85,000 in stadium here, and 8500 for the tests

HOLD ON...i thought the stadium capacity is 70,000? Where did they get the additional 15,000?? And top tiers are empty....WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT THE CROWD? EVEN DEAN JONES WAS SAYING THAT IT IS A SLIGHT EXAGGERATION!!!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Razzaq 50(31) not out.

Umpire Orchard has changed the ball in the middle of Azhar's over to the dismay of Inzi and Azhar( Who I am afraid to say has a look of guilt on his face).

 

[Serendipity]

200+ on teh cards biy, they shud do easily that from here

 

[Serendipity]

maher now on par with 100% strike rate, will go on to hit further, not looking good for badshahs right now

 

[Serendipity]

Lets have a duel between DonJee and Dhonifan, i just like the names, no offence

 

[Dhonifan]

they're saying crowd outside is as big, trying to get in by breaking doors or climbing walls...

 

[Serendipity]

what were you saying about saqi?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Maher OUT stumped off of Saqi. Out for 45(46). 138/2 after 15.3

 

[DonJee]

they're saying crowd outside is as big, trying to get in by breaking doors or climbing walls...

but the ground isn't even full...empty seat in several areas of the ground, you should see it to believe, there was a bigger crowd last sunday and it was only 53,000+ .... its clear they are lying !!!

 

[Dhonifan]

That was BCCI's fault for 5 day ticket only and stadium outside the city and no public transportation to the stadium. Even the people who would have gone on just weekends probably stayed at home because they don't want to pay for 5 days

is that so? hard to believe BCCi could be so dumb, but despite that there is no doubt now that 20/20 is ruining test cricket.

 

[SAM'S]

if Razzaq stays until the last over, he will bundle the LBs

 

[Sparhawk]

Binny's a dangerous batsman, at least in ICL.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Tony...just called the badshas as 'PAKISTAN'

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

If the Badshahs can restrict the heroes to around 180 they have an even chance I reckon.

 

[Serendipity]

come on!!!!!!!!!!!111

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

It seemed like Razzaq was going to be stumped and the Zee Hindi comms went Nuts. It was so funny and then they realised nothing happened.

 

[12thMan]

Roger Binny out ct behind off Rana

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Rana Naveds toupee/hair implant makes him look very different. Any way he has just dismissed Binny 153/3(17.3) " Mota edge accha catch"

 

[Oxy]

they're saying crowd outside is as big, trying to get in by breaking doors or climbing walls...

The other day they were claiming that there were 53,000 fans in the ground - when to the naked eye it appeared there were less than 5000 in the ground!

ICL - full of lies!
