ICL Match 20 | Lahore Badshahs v Delhi | 26/10/08

[natalia]

Match about to start in just over an hour.
Do you guys think Nazir and Farhat will go crazy with the bat again?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They better do as I'll be watching them today!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

It will be very hard to repeat that performance that was kinda one off

 

[HuZi]

can the badshas still go to the final if they win verything form now???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

can the badshas still go to the final if they win verything form now???

I think so!

 

[bdchamp20]

We really need Lahore to lose today. But considering the great form you guys are in and plus how crap Delhi are I think that's very unlikely.

This is the kind of games in which Pakistan usually under performs. We don't like to be seen as the favorites. But we do have the bowling edge and that means a lot.

 

[natalia]

Lahore has WON the toss and has elected to BAT first.

 

[natalia]

Lahore are currently in fourth place, following the Hyderabad Heroes' nine-wicket win over the Chandigarh Lions earlier today. Delhi just have Mumbai below them in the points table, and they pretty much need to win their remaining four matches to reach the semi-finals.

 

[natalia]

"none of Delhi's batsmen have managed a fifty in the tournament so far."

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What time is the match starting off?

 

[natalia]

just over 5 mins

 

[Deewana Mastana]

According to Cricinfo it's at 14:00 GMT - In just under 10 mins....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh yeah! 7 to be exact!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

5 now!

 

[natalia]

[Inswinger]

haha yeah.
thanks for "sticky"-ing this.

[observer1]

i have a link for this match. anyone wants, tell me here

Please.

 

[Inswinger]

Badshahs are batting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bond starts off with a wide!

LB off the mark!

 

[Inswinger]

Imran Nazir leaves the first ball alone, What is going on out there!!!??

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good ball first up to Farhat by Bond! That would've waked him up a bit!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Again a good ball pace and movement! Beaten!

 

[natalia]

excellent start by shane bond

 

[observer1]

i have a link for this match. anyone wants, tell me here

When i said please, i meant yes please

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhat's bat has gone...Broken!

 

[natalia]

and farhat's CRACKED his bat!

 

[observer1]

Hello ? Is someone actually going to give me a link?

 

[natalia]

When i said please, i meant yes please

the link i had JUST stopped broadcasting now.
i'm trying to find another one, wait up...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nazir comes down the track and misses it!

 

[natalia]

wait, i just found one
but it has a REALLY bad framerate.
still want it?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No ball and a FREE HIT

 

[natalia]

framerate = speed of the video itself

it doesn't BUFFER but the speed that it's being broadcasted at is really, really slow.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Both the openers seem to be struggling so far

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Through midwicket and that's 4 by Farhat off the FREE HIT

 

[natalia]

finally, a FOUR by farhat
first four of the innings

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Through 1st slip and that's lucky gone for 4 off Farhat's bat

 

[observer1]

Give me whatever you can please Nat

 

[Deewana Mastana]

14 for 0 after 2 overs

 

[natalia]

14 off the first 2 overs.

 

[natalia]

Give me whatever you can please Nat

alright mate,

here's the link
EDITED. too late

tell me as soon as you see this so i can edit this post and delete the link

 

[12thMan]

That looked like LBW before
Lahore 20-0 after 3

 

[natalia]

bond is troubling the openers.

 

[natalia]

observer, got it?

 

[natalia]

can i delete the link now observer?
quick damnit...

 

[observer1]

yeah i got the links, thanks alot

 

[natalia]

nazir hits a four off bond.
20/0 after 3 ovrs

 

[natalia]

22/0 in 3.2
farhat 12 off 10, nazir 8 off 11.
no sixes yet :S

 

[natalia]

lol!
THAT WAS COOL.
nazir was sure to be run out, so he just about stopped running because he knew he would be out anyways, but the fielder missed the stumps!
)

 

[natalia]

NO BALL by sunhindra.
nazir gets a free hit

 

[natalia]

btw, farhat took a single of that no ball, so nazir on strike for the free hit

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imran Nazir gone stumped!

 

[natalia]

FOUR by nazir off the free hit.
fielder was unlucky there

 

[natalia]

NAZIR STUMPED!
wicketkeeper comes up to the stumps and the change works that SAME ball!
lahore lose an early wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Humayun Farhat joins brother Imran at the crease!

 

[natalia]

this is actually one of the few stumpings i've ever seen off a fast bowler

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nazir looked out of sorts today - Looked like he did all of it on that given day and that's about it!

 

[natalia]

Humayun Farhat, Imran's brother, comes in at No. 3.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well both the openers seemed to be struggling....Let's see what the 2 Farhat's can do now!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shane Bond bowling with good pace!

 

[natalia]

Nazir looked out of sorts today - Looked like he did all of it on that given day and that's about it!

That's alright, Delhi really sucks, Lahore can make a mediocre score of 120 or something and still defend it

None of Delhi's batsmen have got a half-century yet in the ICL

 

[natalia]

30/1 in four overs.
It'll be funny to see Humayun get his brother run out, or vice-versa
Just like how Yusuf Pathan got Irfan bowled yesterday, it was hilarious )

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Imran Nazir's dismissal was a bit unlucky for Badshah's as when Nixon whipped off the bails his foot was still just behind the line only after it went out of the line...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Humayun Farhat gone LBW to Bond

 

[natalia]

?!!?
NAZIR was IN when he got stumped!
yet he was given out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh given NOT OUT

 

[natalia]

Humayun is OUT.
LBW to bond

no wait, given NOT OUT

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

This mota umpire seems to be keen on giving the Badshah batsmen out, when they are not.

Atleast the referral this time makes the correct decision.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

?!!?
NAZIR was IN when he got stumped!
yet he was given out

Yep that's what I said! The umpire was stupid not to refer it to the 3rd umpire just raised his finger as soon as they appealed!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Surely it's a comedy of errors going on out there!

 

[observer1]

Nazir wanted to challenge but was too late i think.

LBW Chance, i think challanged(?) and NOT OUT. Umpire first gave it out too lol

 

[natalia]

wow!
how did he miss that

 

[natalia]

and how did he DROP that?!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How did the bowler miss the stumps...

 

[natalia]

37/1 in 5.4
slow start by LHB.

 

[natalia]

haha!
HE MISSED THAT!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't middle anything at the moment!

38 for 1 after 6

 

[natalia]

38/1 after 6ovrs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Spinner comes on and Imran Farhat departs 1st ball
