India v Pakistan | 1st ODI | Guwahati | 5/11/07 [IND Inngs]

[Easa]

The kaptaan into the attack..

 

[Oxy]

Malik on to bowl...

 

[CricketBuff]

This game is lost. I have no hope. Malik should be ringing in the changes and not following an Inzi like pattern.

 

[Easa]

No ball from Malik, free hit now

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Inexperienced Uthappha and the all rounder Pathan the next 2 men in so PAK still have hope

 

[Sparhawk]

The only reason that Shoiab is still bowling 150+ in his 30s and un-fast bowlerly build is because he plays so less.

Have you seen his build. He looks like a truck with that torso of his.

Meanwhile malik bowls no ball. free hit!

 

[kablooee87]

I have no words.

... oh wait, yes I do.

WHAT THE ****. Show a little bit of intensity people! No ball off a spinner?

 

[Oxy]

Malik no ball - free hit.

Thats embarrasing

 

[CricketBuff]

How can a spinner bowl a no-ball!!! Stupid Malik!

 

[161]

the wrong shoaib is bowling ...

maliks gone brain dead.

 

[Hash]

Inexperienced Uthappha and the all rounder Pathan the next 2 men in so PAK still have hope

Need to get 4 wickets in the next 60 runs or so.

 

[Easa]

Swept for 4, that reached the boundary in less than a second!

 

[iafzal]

This is by far the worst game by Malik as a Captain .

And Akmal misses a chance of stumping on the free hit, I know it does not count but he keeps his streak alive of poor wkt keeping

 

[Swaraj!!]

A spinner---free hit----NOOOO RUNS

This is embarrassing

 

[the true passionist]

Akmal missed it anyways..

Khan has to keep the wickets in the next game...

 

[CricketBuff]

The difference between the spinners of the two sides is very obvious !!!

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

akmal needs to be kicked out ,i dont care even he makes a double century in the next gam ei'll still say that he needs to be kicked out ,malik needs to bowl shoiab !

 

[kablooee87]

Pakistan still aren't out of it. A wicket here and it's game on.

Shoaib Akhtar please.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Under 100 needed now.

 

[Easa]

Afridi bowling very well for little reward..

7 overs - 0 maidens - 1 wicket - 24 runs

 

[iafzal]

we need 2 quick wkts in next 3-5 overs otherwise there is not much hope

 

[Swaraj!!]

Looks like the Indians have decided to stick to singles with Afridi which is a good thing under the circumstances

 

[Hash]

If only we had held on to those damn catches.

 

[Imy]

Shoaib may not be able to bowl more he is so unfit cardio wise it shows

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Ball to be changed- there goes the chance of reverse swing

 

[nikred]

the differece between the spinners of both teams is Murli.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Shoiab should come out now......with the ball being replaced.

 

[Desi]

changing the ball once in an innings isnt good enough, we have to change it twice

 

[Hash]

Ball to be changed- there goes the chance of reverse swing

That's probably why they changed it

 

[Oxy]

Good to see Indian broadcasters NOT obsessed with showing the females in the crowd -every other ball - unlike ARY!

And if they do - they dont get whistled at and jeered from the pervs in the crowd (like in Pak)

 

[Swaraj!!]

Was that a maiden from Malik............

 

[Saqib]

Good to see Indian broadcasters NOT obsessed with showing the females in the crowd -every other ball - unlike ARY!

Yeah...was going to post that

 

[Hash]

maiden from Malik

 

[mooz]

Good to see Indian broadcasters NOT obsessed with showing the females in the crowd -every other ball - unlike ARY!

And if they do - they dont get whistled at and jeered from the pervs in the crowd (like in Pak)

its because we have some good looking kurris amongst our spectators, these guys don't have much choice.

 

[kablooee87]

Seriously, there's no use bringing Akhtar on when India are nearly home. The time to use him is now.

 

[KA$H]

and why is that good? nothing wrong with some telly totty

 

[shan2026]

i agree

 

[Hash]

he is on now

 

[Saqib]

Shoaib Akhtar he only bowled 4 overs but looks very very tired

 

[waqar_ahmad]

waisay Oxy, dont compare the girls of lahore to girls there. Im sure the cameramen cant find enough pretty girls to focus on anyways

 

[Swaraj!!]

Looks like there IS some reverse swing

 

[CricketBuff]

How many catches did we drop?

 

[Hash]

come on shoaib

 

[Hash]

How many catches did we drop?

23

 

[Saqib]

Dhoni good ODI career so far...

 

[KA$H]

hmm - big over for india there...we appear to be leaking runs for fun

 

[kablooee87]

8 off the over.

 

[the true passionist]

How many catches did we drop?

2 by Akmal and 1 by younis.

Anways game almost over until we can get a quick couple here.

 

[12thMan]

How many catches did we drop?

drop is too harsh. We missed two as the ball didn't touch the hands and maybe dropped one but I didn't see if it touched the hand/glove or not

 

[Oxy]

waisay Oxy, dont compare the girls of lahore to girls there. Im sure the cameramen cant find enough pretty girls to focus on anyways

Dont get me wrong - Lahore is another level to what Ive seen in India over the years.

Just an observation in the way Pak male fans react - and how Indian male fans react.

 

[Saqib]

The security

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Pakistan need two wickets within three overs, otherwise it´s over for us.

 

[Hash]

I'll let Younus off because he is a very good slip catcher normally.

But Kamran....enough is enough. Bye bye.

Younus to keep for the remaining 4 ODIs.

 

[Hash]

Pakistan need two wickets within three overs, otherwise it´s over for us.

we need to get 4 wickets by the time they got to 200

 

[Saqib]

But Kamran....enough is enough. Bye bye.

Younus to keep for the remaining 4 ODIs.

What about Yasir Hameed...he is also a reserve Wicket keeper.

 

[Easa]

Yuvraj pushes for a single, Dhoni on strike facing Akhtar

155/3

 

[Swaraj!!]

This pitch really is a spinners paradise. Look at the ball turn.

 

[Hash]

What about Yasir Hameed...he is also a reserve Wicket keeper.

yes he is a possibility too

 

[Easa]

As bad as Akmal has become, he is tremendous (ala Rameez) compared to yk!

 

[Sparhawk]

Cmon shoaib, you can clean up these jokers.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

there is no choice(no reserve keeper)- PAK will have to stick with AKmal.

 

[Saqib]

Dhoni career v Pakistan !!!

 

[Easa]

Dhoni getting more praise than he deserves, he is nowhere near Adam Gilchrist nor is he one of the greatest keeper/batsmen of all time..

 

[Saqib]

Match Summary so far...

 

[kablooee87]

As bad as Akmal has become, he is tremendous (ala Rameez) compared to yk!

Really? In the last 6 ODIs I have watched, he has dropped at least 1 gimme catch in every game. Can YK really be that bad?

And if he was scoring runs you would feel more inclined to forgive him, but he isn't even doing that.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

thanks for the images saqib

 

[Saqib]

Very lazy crowd today...some of them are sleeping

 

[Sparhawk]

As bad as Akmal has become, he is tremendous (ala Rameez) compared to yk!

Akmal cannot be tremendous compared to anyone, he isnt tremendous compared to my dining table.

 

[Hash]

lassi time

for some reason in our innings they waited until 35 overs

 

[volcyz]

What is this nonsense?

28.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Dhoni, FOUR, Shoaib bowls a short ball, trying to unsettle Dhoni with the bouncer, Dhoni gets on top of the ball and hooks it down to the fine-leg boundary, he was in control of that because he hit in straight into the ground

Learn proper English I say

 

[nikred]

Dhoni getting more praise than he deserves, he is nowhere near Adam Gilchrist nor is he one of the greatest keeper/batsmen of all time..

well for the last few matches he has been very impressive both keeping and batting and very un-akmal. in few of the matches he did better than gilchrist.

 

[jackal786]

lassi time

for some reason in our innings they waited until 35 overs

over-rate is so slow. 12 overs per hour.

 

[Saqib]

thanks for the images saqib

Your welcome

want to make the thread a bit more lively for those who can't watch the action.

 

[kablooee87]

lassi time

Drinks aren't taken based on overs. They are taken based on time. Pakistan should have bowled 35 overs by now.

 

[jackal786]

Dhoni getting more praise than he deserves, he is nowhere near Adam Gilchrist nor is he one of the greatest keeper/batsmen of all time..

Bruce Yardley is an Australian He definitely sees something in him! I agree no one can be better than Gilchrist. One of the greatest entertainer i have seen in cricket.

 

[abcanada]

these indian commentators r pising me off..........................

 

[CricketBuff]

lassi time

They knew you had to take a leak !

 

[Desi]

we will need to bribe shiva to win this match

 

[Saqib]

I am off now...sorry guys, I hope you guys enjoyed my screenshots

But have to go to school now.

Good luck Pakistan

 

[abcanada]
