-------------------------------------------

TODAY is the final decider!!!

ICL India in the finals already... who will go thru Pak or World???

(Final to be played Apr 15, 2008 - thats Tomorrow )

 

[pakistani pride]

Well ICL pakistani will win this and lose to the indians in the final. seems like a perfect script this series.

 

[SameerM]

this time i think icl pak will win this and BEAT the indians.. revengeeeeeeee

i'm sure its about time they won one icl competition

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Should be a good game !! Inzi needs to bat higher up the order, maybe at no. 3 and we need to get rid of Farhat.

 

[observer1]

As long as Sami is not playing, im happy.

i do not understand why Azar Mahmood is not in his Place.

He is a much better Bowler IMO, and atleast if he does not perform in his Bowling, his Batting will do some Damage.

Sami is a better batsman than a bowler

He can play as a batting allrounder

 

[pakistani pride]

sami has a decent ECO rate in this WHOLE tournament.

 

[darkmoon459]

No Nazir and taufeq up the order ,thats going to hurt the Pakistani's.

 

[SameerM]

nazir pulled his groin going for a big hit!! another risk for big hitters hey??

Imran farhat to open with his bro, humayan?? wots the odds on that

Toofee-qhad one good game, so he has talent, just needs to click

 

[darkmoon459]

4 over cover by razzak ,he needs to fire if pakistani's to have a chance of winning.

 

[SameerM]

razzaaa starts with a 4 !!

[Lara400]

[SameerM]

on a tangent.. wasnt it great yesterday??

2 pakistani matches to watch!!! it was great flicking from one to the other inbetween overs so to avoid the boring adverts!

I liked the TKC aadvert with the cricketers... come eat at TKC, have a meal with Me.. said afridi n co.. (pity it looked like a 2005 advert!)

 

[darkmoon459]

Taufy is in attacking mode ,charged down and it went for a 4.

 

[SameerM]

15 off 3 overs... 5rpo nicely getting warmed up.

 

[darkmoon459]

[Lara400]

Big Boy Inzi is coming out to show how its done!!!

he means business!!!!

 

[darkmoon459]

Oh wow Inzi is in at # 3 ,a very good move and hoping it will pay off.

 

[SameerM]

inzi is IN to bat - get ur cigars out for a bigggggggggg innings

 

[SameerM]

if inzi fails. i am scared he will retire from this too! so best be a good boy and stay there for the 20 overs Bigman

 

[SameerM]

[darkmoon459]

[SameerM]

20 off 5 overs

 

[observer1]

N Offense, If Taufeeq Umar carries the Bat, may as well call it quits now

 

[Lara400]

N Offense, If Taufeeq Umar carries the Bat, may as well call it quits now

Thats offensive to Taufeeq

 

[Lara400]

Boy I could seriously earn all that dosh for scoring 7 off 11 and getting out

 

[darkmoon459]

Free hit for a 6 .

 

[darkmoon459]

15 off the last over ,need a few more like that one.

 

[Lara400]

Taufeeq could only muster two runs from a delivery he could not get out from!!!!

 

[SameerM]

49/2 off 7 overs

[Lara400]

[SameerM]

Thank god. I doubt if he'll get another contract next time round

lol - he had one or two match winning innings in the LB games..

 

[darkmoon459]

Latif is in,can he light up some fire works for the pakistani's.

Upto Hasan Raza and Imran to build a little partnership here and get a foundation for the later overs..
