ICL | Lahore Badshahs vs Hyderabad Heroes | 3rd Final | 16/11/08

[Saj]

Some ill feeling between the 2 teams after 2 highly charged finals so far.

Hyderabad are batting first in today's decider.

3 for 0 from 5 deliveries so far.

 

[Sparhawk]

I just switched to that match. Amazing shot by the Hyderabad opener, dont know if it was deliberate or not, four over the head of the keeper.

 

[Saj]

big wicket for Lahore, Maher out bowled by Mahmood

16 for 1 from 2.5 overs

 

[Saj]

3 boundaries in a row off Sami - some things never change.

 

[J-Essence]

is there a link for this game? plz plz

 

[hashman]

great wicket

 

[Inswinger]

The Razzler is in!!

 

[Boi]

Abdul Razzaq comes out to bat
!

 

[Kamranz]

I hope he gets out early on. I seriously want him kicked out fast.

 

[Kamranz]

Tony Kuta is in the commentry box.

 

[Inswinger]

I hope he gets out early on. I seriously want him kicked out fast.

I want him to light up Rana. What Rana did the other day was inexcusable.

 

[hashman]

great catch by INZI, The RAZZLER is gone

 

[Boi]

out!!

 

[Inswinger]

Tumbling catch by Inzi!!!

 

[Kamranz]

I want him to light up Rana. What Rana did the other day was inexcusable.

What commentary men did was inexcusable too...Blown things right out of proportion.

 

[Inswinger]

Agreed
But he's not Pakistani so its not surprising. The exchange between Rana and Razzaq should not have happened.

 

[Inswinger]

Nice to see them playing Humayun today. The other Keeper (Hafiz?) has been terrible in the last few matches.

 

[Boi]

4 Runs!

 

[Inswinger]

73/4
The wheels are coming off here!!!

 

[hashman]

saqi strikes immediately

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Saqi on and gets a wicket. Actual legend.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

whats with the camera work from these indian twits?

The showed a replay of the ball in Saqlains hands - and guess what he did?

He rotated it. Yes, rotated the ball in his hand. Thats it.

Fools.

 

[hashman]

3 for nazir

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Out!! Its fixed!! they must be ball tampering somewher!

 

[Bouncer]

sounds like as if all the ICl commentators want to see Lahore lose tonight

 

[Asad7]

82-5 after 10.2 overs

 

[hashman]

Out!! Its fixed!! they must be ball tampering somewher!

 

[Kamranz]

The problem is Lahore Badshah's have too many fast bowlers in their side comparing to Hydrabad.
Lahore Badshah lost last season cus of this very reason now they're repeating the same mistake twice.

I'd have Arshad Khan in the team along with Saqi.

 

[12thMan]

Humayun Farhat takes a very good low catch. Reffered to ump and Boje given out
Hyderabad 124-6

 

[hashman]

great catch there by farhat

 

[Boi]

Kemp comes out to bat

 

[Oxy]

What a superb catch by the keper!!!

 

[Boi]

!!

Hes gone!!

 

[Kamranz]

What is the update guys?

 

[Boi]

Chris Harris new man in!

 

[Kamranz]

I'm following this match more than Pak vs West Indies which is Dead rubber now anyway.

 

[Boi]

Saqlain bowling really well!

 

[Boi]

128-7 after 16

 

[volcyz]

Humayan Farhat is playing that's great news

 

[Zaad]

wow hope we win

 

[Boi]

 

[Boi]

Azhar Mahmood brought on..........

 

[Boi]

10 runs off that over!

 

[hashman]

damn, what great control rana has with his yorkers.

 

[Boi]

159 for Badshahs to win!

 

[hashman]

exactly the same score as yesterday i think

 

[Gabbar Singh]

I just checked out the betting odds on this match with a view to backing lahore if the odds were good.

Anyway, on betfair (which is an exchange based system - ie you bet against other people and not bookmakers) lahore are 1.30 with a lot of money waiting to back them. Yesterday their price at this stage after hh had posted the SAME score was 1.80.

So someone knows, or thinks they know lahore will walk this.

And this isnt small money we're talking about. At the half way point, £1.1 million has already been traded.

edit - so was yesterday's match thrown with a view to getting a 3rd final?

Ex-Pakistani cricketers reknown for match-fixing, unsactioned league in India (betting hub of the world) and opportunity to make more money in 3rd final....I think you are onto something here Gabbar!!!
