ICL Semifinal 1| Lahore Badshahs v Chennai Superstars | 10/11/08

[Sparhawk]

"I am missing Myaunty - she is very nice"

Who was this Romeo?

He missed her smile. :Evil

 

[Oxy]

He missed her smile. :Evil

I bet!

 

[Mercenary]

He missed her smile. :Evil

What else could he say? They asked him if they missed her and he could hardly say no or who is she.

 

[Sparhawk]

What else could he say? They asked him if they missed her and he could hardly say no or who is she.

Thats true but i was hoping he'd say not really.

 

[Mercenary]

Thats true but i was hoping he'd say not really.

It's the commentators fault for putting him on the spot like that

 

[natalia]

78/2 in 8.2 good start

 

[Oxy]

It's the commentators fault for putting him on the spot like that

I dont think he had any clue who they were refferring to too.

He thought 'why should i be missing my phupee?'

 

[Mercenary]

I dont think he had any clue who they were refferring to too.

He thought 'why should i be missing my phupee?'

He thought they were talking about Atul Wassan's aunty because Atul asked him...

"Are you missing Myanti?'

 

[aali]

He thought they were talking about Atul Wassan's aunty because Atul asked him...

"Are you missing Myanti?'

that atul guy is a *****

 

[Oxy]

Saqi BOWLS Arnold!

85-3 off 9.5

 

[hashman]

Shabaash saqi

 

[natalia]

SAQI GETS HIM!!!
chennai 85/3

 

[Sparhawk]

Bowled him!!!!!! That was a beauty by saqlain, completely beat arnold. That's more satisfying than sami's yorkers!

 

[Muhammad]

that atul guy is a *****

"tasty" go on what?

 

[salman24]

I think Saqi got him with thejalebi ball ,lol
What a bowler !
Sigh!

 

[Muhammad]

Bowled him!!!!!! That was a beauty by saqlain, completely beat arnold. The more satisfying than sami's yorkers!

Saqi's gotta be back in the Pak team.

Beautiful bowling.

 

[aali]

saqlane gets the break thru

 

[Oxy]

86-3 off 10 overs.

Not sure what a good score on this wkt is

 

[aali]

I think Saqi got him with thejalebi ball ,lol
What a bowler !
Sigh!

jalebiball lol lol lol

 

[aali]

86-3 off 10 overs.

Not sure what a good score on this wkt is[/QUO

180

 

[salman24]

Saqi's gotta be back in the Pak team.

Beautiful bowling.

I've been saying that since I came to PP which was over 3 years ago!!!!!

 

[Oxy]

Do these Pak bowlers look deceptively 'faster' in ICL?

 

[Oxy]

Rana strays - punished for 4

94-3

 

[Oxy]

Straight SIX! Gorgeous shot - so sweet

100-3

 

[Oxy]

I've been saying that since I came to PP which was over 3 years ago!!!!!

And I still dont think he could cope with the rigours of a 5 day test or an intense ODI series or tournament.

BUT he has proven me wrong in that he is actually playing!

 

[Sparhawk]

Chennai are still headed for a pretty good total.

104-3 (12)

 

[Oxy]

104-3 off 12 overs

 

[salman24]

And I still dont think he could cope with the rigours of a 5 day test or an intense ODI series or tournament.

BUT he has proven me wrong in that he is actually playing!

Yeah well maybe if he was given a chance he would prove you wrong there as well and I'm sure this time yoo would be happy that you were proved wrong.

 

[Oxy]

Yeah well maybe if he was given a chance he would prove you wrong there as well and I'm sure this time yoo would be happy that you were proved wrong.

Always happy to be proven wrong re: Pak players making it good

 

[Oxy]

Big hit - 4

Chennai opening up

111-3

'Badani' is cutting loose

 

[On_the_up]

Badshahs need to stem the scoring rate by taking some wkts or it might be too much, chasing anything more than 160 in a semifinal will take some doing.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

run out chance missed.

 

[Oxy]

I see a score of 180+ on the cards.

Loose bowling

113-3 off 13 overs

 

[Oxy]

Sami back on

And SMASHED for 4 1st ball.

Terrible stuff from Sami

 

[Sparhawk]

Sami comes back, hit for four first ball. Not the worst delivery that was just a really good shot.

 

[Oxy]

2nd ball GARBAGE!!!

Another 4!

Welcome back Sami

 

[12thMan]

Chennai ka pala bhari hey

 

[Oxy]

3rd ball

132kph - slash & miss

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Sami is getting the stick.

 

[Oxy]

4th ball

DOT

Sami's flowing locks are the centre of attention today

 

[Oxy]

Jesus Sami!

Thats a DOUBLE WIDE!!!

 

[Sparhawk]

9 runs so far of the Sami over. And now a wide, sami...

 

[On_the_up]

124-3 after 14

 

[Oxy]

124-3 off 14 overs

 

[bcci]

WOWWWW i just saw Masami's pace, haha, very rapid indeed. 125-129kph

 

[Sparhawk]

Azhar might stop this momentum, need at least one tight over here.

 

[Oxy]

Azhar comes in to steady the ship - somewhat.

Maybe.

Hopefully.

 

[Oxy]

SLower ball - picked up.

And hit for 4

Great shot actually!

 

[Sparhawk]

44444 ruins a good over.

 

[bcci]

azhar bowling at 110-120kph? what is going on?

 

[Oxy]

131-4

Wickets in hand

 

[Muhammad]

That was a good over, the 4 was just good batting, I've always maintaind Azhar should be back in the Pak side.

 

[bcci]

do you guys think these speeds are about 5-10kph less than what they are?

 

[Sparhawk]

Turns out it wasn't ruined. Just 8 off that over.

 

[On_the_up]

132-3 off 15

 

[Oxy]

That was a good over, the 4 was just good batting, I've always maintaind Azhar should be back in the Pak side.

You've maintained a lot so far

 

[bcci]

got it him, gone

 

[Oxy]

Saqi BOWLS someone!!!

 

[bcci]

saqi still very effective at this age.

 

[On_the_up]

looking like a 180 to 190 score here.

 

[Sparhawk]

Saqlain pwns Badani! Tried to hit another six, saqlain was having none of that.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Saqlain magic done the trick.My favorite spinner of all time.

 

[12thMan]

Wasn't there a thread about Azhar being Pakistan Captain after he captained Lahore in their 3rd match

 

[bcci]

wide

 

[Oxy]

Wide ball Saqi!

 

[bcci]

how old is saqi?

 

[12thMan]

how old is saqi?

31 to 33 will be a good estimate

 

[bcci]

saqi looks bigger than before. needs to lose few kilos if he wants to play for england.

 

[On_the_up]

138-4 after 16

 

[bcci]

31 to 33 will be a good estimate

thanks

 

[bcci]

saqi can give 4-5 years to international cricket at this rate.

 

[Oxy]

Good over by Rana so far!

 

[bcci]

final score = 175ish I think

 

[natalia]

lahore have done well to restrict chennai to just around 140 in 16 ovrs

 

[bcci]

44444444444

 

[12thMan]

I am waiting for the showday bazi of Imran Nazir before start of Lahore innings. He might be dancing, blowing kisses, working his hair. He is a star

 

[bcci]

what a farmer shot, haha

 

[Oxy]

Batsman launches into a Rana wide one

4 all the way

144-4 off 16.4

 

[bcci]

yorker but off target

 

[Oxy]

Some 'agricultural' shots on display
