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

[bcci]

outttttttt

 

[Sparhawk]

Another wicket, they might not be making that 180.

 

[Oxy]

Rana gets another wicket!

 

[bcci]

gone, edged to keeper

 

[Oxy]

145-5

 

[natalia]

EDGED AND OUT!
law goes
rana strikes
145/5

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Rana and Gull can make a formidable partnership at the death.
We need Rana back in the team only for death bowling.

 

[bcci]

Is Stuart Law Aussie? I've never seen the guy on international scene

 

[Oxy]

S Vasanth

Dont forget that name in a hurry

 

[Oxy]

Is Stuart Law Aussie? I've never seen the guy on international scene

World Cup winner!

 

[natalia]

nazir to bowl now

 

[bcci]

Rana and Gull can make a formidable partnership at the death.
We need Rana back in the team only for death bowling.

Good idea, but how often will they play a year in the international team?

 

[Oxy]

Atool Wasoon is such an.......................expert

 

[Oxy]

Shaid Nazir has a go at Imran Nazir's attempted run out!

It was pathetic!

 

[12thMan]

Law has also been dropped from his county, Lancashire??? Though he is 40 but the county did say his ICL participation did have an influence

 

[Oxy]

Good catch by Sami I think...

147-6

 

[bcci]

160 and its curtains for Chennai

Is the match happening in Chennai? Do the Lahore team's matches get held in Lahore?

Sorry I dont really follow ICL but seeing this match on Zee Music, found it by accident.

 

[Oxy]

2.2 overs to go

 

[natalia]

and caught.
147/6, nazir gets a wicket

 

[On_the_up]

147-5 (17.2) the man whose name sounds like the crack of a whip "satish" going well 37 off 26 balls.

 

[bcci]

How comes most of the Indian youth playing ICL is in the 29-33 age bracket?

 

[Oxy]

148-6 off 18 overs

170 would be exceptional from here.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

good bowling by nazir

 

[On_the_up]

commentators curse

 

[bcci]

This Vivek is 29? I mean India would have never kept him anyway at this sort of age.

 

[natalia]

Good catch by Sami I think...

147-6

im pretty sure azhar took the catch

 

[12thMan]

Is the match happening in Chennai? Do the Lahore team's matches get held in Lahore?.

I don't know where they are playing but it seems like Ahmedabad because the scenery outside is very distinct Ahmedabadi. All the matches are on maybe 3 grounds in India

 

[bcci]

2 overs left, I predict 12 runs

 

[natalia]

148/6 in 18
12 balls left, i think 170-175 will be the final total

 

[shabs100]

it is ahmedbad

 

[Legendary_Sage]

another good yorker by rana.

 

[bcci]

I don't know where they are playing but it seems like Ahmedabad because the scenery outside is very distinct Ahmedabadi. All the matches are on maybe 3 grounds in India

I reckon if they wana make it big, they gotta have matches in the actual cities. Imagine Lahore playing in Lahore, Dhaka in Dhaka, Chandigarh in Chandigarh and so on.......

It will get more popular this way.

 

[bcci]

Outttttt

 

[natalia]

crap misfield by inzamam, goes through him, looks like a boundary but excellent fielding by nazir to stop the boundary. they run 2

150/6 in 18.3
165 should be ok

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Poor fielding by inzi and good fielding by Nazir to save 2 runs.
as i type it another one is gone and rana rocks.

 

[natalia]

BOWLED EM!
RANA!!!

150/7 in 18.4

 

[bcci]

Maha-Rani seems to have got her hair back. Or is it some night camera trick?

 

[natalia]

rana, please come back to the pak team and replace sohail tanvir, you can bat much better than him too
and at this form in the ICL you look like you can bowl much better than him too

 

[bcci]

what a shot 66666

 

[shabs100]

I reckon if they wana make it big, they gotta have matches in the actual cities. Imagine Lahore playing in Lahore, Dhaka in Dhaka, Chandigarh in Chandigarh and so on.......

It will get more popular this way.

the costs for travel would be staggering!

 

[natalia]

up in the air and SIX!
19 overs up, 157-7.

i think they'll end in the late 160s.
166-170 i guess :S

 

[bcci]

what kinda name is Jesus-Raj?

 

[shabs100]

not jesus..... jesu

 

[bcci]

not jesus..... jesu

But thats what they call Jesus back home....

 

[natalia]

161-7. 3 balls left

 

[natalia]

162. 2 balls

 

[J-Essence]

are there any live links for this game ...pweez

 

[natalia]

163. last ball coming
poor last few overs for chennai

 

[bcci]

165

 

[Boi]

Come on Badshahs!

 

[natalia]

165/7 in 20 overs.
Moderate total, should be an exciting chase.

 

[bcci]

who is opening for lahoris?

 

[natalia]

Sathish says 50000 people here again tonight.
I don't think so. Not at all, crowd not even as half as good as last night's.

 

[SAM'S]

165 should not be a problem for LB's if the openers give them a solid 40-50 runs start then old horses MoYo and Inzi can drive them home.

 

[Pak_mystery]

So whos going to score for us today? Nazir and Rana probably?

 

[Zaad]

Nazir and Farhat

i want to see a 10 wicket win !

 

[Pak_mystery]

Only if nazir can get his running between the wicket problem sorted out..

 

[Boi]

Nafees Sahib in the Studio!

 

[Boi]

Chennai will have to take early wickets!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Lahore innings is about to start

 

[Oxy]

Is there a delay?

 

[Oxy]

Hmmmm...165 was a decent finish in the end for the other team

 

[Oxy]

Shabbir v Farhat

Reject v Reject

0-0

 

[Oxy]

Off the mark with a flick off the legs to fine leg for 4

 

[Legendary_Sage]

4 of the first ball

 

[Oxy]

4-0 off 1 ball

 

[Oxy]

Lovely come back by Shabbir

 

[natalia]

first ball four, good stuff

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

i expect shabbir to bowl pies for the Paks.

 

[natalia]

great shot by Farhat, 9/0 in the first over

 

[Oxy]

i expect shabbir to bowl pies for the Paks.

Hes bowled another one - spanked for 4 by Furry Hat

9-0 off 1 over

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Ugly looking but effective shot from Farhat.

 

[Oxy]

WOW

Nazir pulls ait for a SIXER!

 

[natalia]

OH HUGE SIX! great stuff nazir
15/0 in 1.1

 

[Oxy]

And Nazir Is Out!!!

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Unknow bowler bowling to Nazir strength.
Never bowl short to Nazir.He loves them.

 

[natalia]

and nazir gone next. caught.
15/1 in 1.2. just the start chennai wanted

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Rush of blood and nazir is gone.talent wasted as always.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Nazir with an animal-six.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Rana jee in.
