[SameerM]

[pakistani]

Lahore baadsah bowling first

 

[Lara400]

looks like another white wash for the lahori's is on the cards!!!

Another Inzi special on the cards then!

 

[SameerM]

Bro, last game Inzi got me soaking wet with his juicy cuts and drives.

He still is the Rock in my heart....looking green, mean, LEAN and still thw run making machine of old

 

[squarecut]

ICL should have formed teams on the basis of countries to have people more interested. As it is, the matches of Lahore Baadshah are evoking interest for this very reason.

And I, an India fan, am supporting them.

You sound like George Foreman

 

[SameerM]

well its because the Lahoris have nearly a 99% famous team!

no other team can boast this.. they only have 2-3 stars and the rest are unknowns.

Its a good point, perhaps they can incorporate a Sri Lankan, English, Aussie etc team in the next competition.

That will definetly generate further interest providing

 

[SameerM]

that will be more like a WORLD club competition

top domestic players get picked for the ICL PAK team..and then play ICL country teams across the world.

sounds good.. but again this would be AGAINST ICC... and tehrefore unsanctioned..

how about the 'ICL Masters World club t20 cup'

 

[Lara400]

Someone had a bollywood.tv link on the post the for the last game anychance of that again

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

ICL is the rebel retired imaginative cricket league

IPL is the millionaires idea-less egotistic cricket league

Money is the overall winner for both, but, we are clearly seeing that Indian cricket is benefiting with these leagues...

what benefits other than lots of money to spend!

how do u think they are benefiting above the other countries?

 

[Legendary_Sage]

i m unable to find the icl coverage on msn

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

what benefits other than lots of money to spend!

how do u think they are benefiting above the other countries?

The fact that with that money they can invest it back into their academies and at grassroot level to further enhance the cricketing skills....other countries such as Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies dont have that luxury..

 

[Lara400]

try this instead http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-in

Thanks but can't play macromedia flash company has that blocked!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

heroes: 19 - 3 after 3.1

 

[SameerM]

heroes ? more like zeroes

whose taken the wicketS?????????

 

[IMMY69]

Rana Naveed is outstanding...

after the injury he sustained it is truly awsome to seem him back and bowling so well..

he had a lean 12 months playing for pakistan however i still say he is one of the better one day bowlers in the world, let alone in pakistan!

who took the wickets

good point but imagine pcb with lots of extra money... they'd spend it on bahamas holidays and chicken n chips life time supply, for each member of the board and their families.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Heroes: 21 - 4

ball swinging around a bit. azhar and rana doing the damage

kemp at the crease....and i think razzaq is next

 

[SameerM]

Rana been playing in english county... so many english fans luv Rana, since he is quality and hard working.

Its just a shame noone in PCB thinks that or doesnt seem to SHOW they care.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Rana Naveed is outstanding...

he had a lean 12 months playing for pakistan however i still say he is one of the better one day bowlers in the world, let alone in pakistan!

the shoulder injury that he got could easily have end his career but looking at his come back performance showed that he is a real fighter and has the mental strength.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

chris harris in, with kemp

 

[SameerM]

neither links working for me... no new video links to watch

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

wicket maiden from azhar

2 wickets for him, and 1 for rana and 1 run out

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

rana clean bowls kemp!

 

[W63L35]

Cricinfo says Razzaq is in.

My prediction...... Razzaq is going to score a big innings today!

 

[SameerM]

looks like Nazir will be able to achieve the Hero total by himself!

is it Razzler next? see how he performs, he probably upset at being left as the lone Pakistani!

 

[IMMY69]

superb delivery from rana!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

its Boje in, with harris

 

[SameerM]

boje come in instead of Razza? or is cricinfo a bit delayed!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

30 - 5 after 6

 

[Legendary_Sage]

after the description of the wicket it reminds me of rana bowling to sehwag and bowled him with a ball like this and woolmer was really very happy and he was sitting with sami in pak dressing room and many ppl asked woolmer on his website what did he said to sami after rana took the wicket

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

it Boje and Harris,

Sami comes on.

Keeping razzaq for a blast at the end

 

[pakistani]

Harris out

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Harris out,

caught at 3rd man

 

[SameerM]

Sami on? pressure OFF the heroes now then

 

[pakistani]

Abdul Razzaq comes in

 

[SameerM]

jinxed him ! i knew it woould work - reverse psychology (or somthing)

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Razzaq is in

 

[pakistani]

inside edge four

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Inzi keeping the field in. great captaincy!

 

[SameerM]

I estimate Razza getting less than 15 runs

 

[W63L35]

I estimate Razza getting less than 15 runs

@ 50

 

[SameerM]

6.5 Mohammad Sami to Boje, FOUR, dropped! Edges and Farhat fails to hold onto a difficult chance but it still goes down as a drop, the ball goes to the fence.

nooooooooooooooo - sami's 2nd wicket chance!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Edged by Razzaq, fell short, hit inzi on the knee

 

[SameerM]

Inzi will stand up and say... nex time aim for my head - propa Rambo warrior is our Inzi

 

[SameerM]

100 max total for the Zeroes? any estimates

Razza with his defensive crap

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

2- 19 from his 4 overs from Rana

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

good bouncer from sami, called a wide though

 

[SameerM]

for wides do opposition get free hit or is that only no balls?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

free hit is only for no-balls

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Saqlian looks as fit as ever.......hope he gets a chance to bowl

 

[SameerM]

Gosht-wala is the player u want us to guess.. Jaque Kallis??

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Inzi keeping the field in. great captaincy!

inzi learned the art of captaincy after he got retired...
pak team has hard luck

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

heres Saqi!!

inzi off the field,

and its not kallis, he has a much better batting record

 

[SameerM]

on comes Saqlain!!!!!!!!

 

[W63L35]

Gosht-wala is the player u want us to guess.. Jaque Kallis??

Heath Streak

Ghost-wala... are you calling him Qassai?

 

[SameerM]

41/6 off 9.3 overs

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Good over from Saqlain.

And yes, its Heath Streak!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

wow that is a teesra from Saqi- this guy is a massive talent.

 

[SameerM]

qassai? if qassai is butcher then yeh

no i was calling him the MEAT-man !!

 

[W63L35]

wow that is a teesra from Saqi- this guy is a massive talent.

Explain teesra please?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

wow that is a teesra from Saqi- this guy is a massive talent.

its a flipper,

in the last match, mush was saying that saqi had been perfecting it, simmilar to how shane warne bowls his

 

[W63L35]

qassai?

no i was calling him the MEAT-man !!

Mithai wala - Halwai
Ghost-wala - Qassai

 

[SameerM]

is teesra- instead of bouncing and going straight it bounces and comes backwards ??

 

[Pak_cricketer]

wow that is a teesra from Saqi- this guy is a massive talent.

Damn I missed it. What exactly is the teesra?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

is teesra- instead of bouncing and going straight it bounces and comes backwards ??

it doesnt "come backwards", but skids on quicker, keeps low....good delivery, but very hard to bowl

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Explain teesra please?

this is like an off spinner's flipper. I have never seen an off break bowler do it.

 

[SameerM]

raza still on 2... comon lahoris get him out before he makes 15 runs... i have a bet on against my self.

my left hand v's my right hand

 

[SameerM]

tessra - like the skidder basically?

 

[Imran_m]

razzaq is not looking convincing at all.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I think he is over doing the teesra here.

 

[SameerM]

Razza is finished.. just wait till he bowls... i estimate out the park shots for the lahoris

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Razzaq looking to after Nazir i think

 

[Imran_m]

Razzaq always looks best when he opens himself up. he was always hopeless in situations where consolidation was needed

 

[W63L35]

And yes, its Heath Streak!

Here is another one for you to guess.....

	[B]Mat  Runs   Ave  [/B]
[B]Tests[/B] 	21   778    23.57 
[B]ODIs[/B] 	31   215    11.31

He bowled only 5 balls in test cricket for 4 runs without taking a wicket. He never bolwed in ODIs.

Let me know if you need a clue!
