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

[Bailan]

bring on the spinners .........................

 

[Saqib]

Poor shoaib

 

[12thMan]

Akhtar hit the board at the boundary

 

[Oxy]

ferrari breaks down. hamstring, possibly?

Colliding with boundary board is an impact injury, rather than muscular...

 

[Plasma]

i think we lost....

 

[Saqib]

Why does Malik does not bring on the spinners...he should have learned from the Indian innings. Very strange...

 

[Bailan]

you can see that younis and yousaf's slow rate killed us

 

[WasimG]

Is Malik retarded? Gul is bowling his 7th consecutive over when its a spinners' pitch.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Wait till the spinners get on. With this pitch...anything can happen.

 

[Desi]

Why does Malik does not bring on the spinners...he should have learned from the Indian innings. Very strange...

no kidding..take gul off for sure. rehman needs to go on now and just bowl his 10 in a row, afridi and malik should pitch in too especially on this pitch. does captaincy require you to be oblivious to the conditions?

 

[Saqib]

Last shot of Ganguly

 

[Pathan007]

i think we lost....

well u tell me is 10vs12 fair?no, right? so it doesn't matter. akmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

 

[Swaraj!!]

Cmon...spinners pitch or not...it is a new ball and the field is in......and both gambhir and ganguly are good players of spin.

 

[Bailan]

Malik proving that he is a true successor to Inzimam when it comes to sheer lack of tactics ...

I had so many expectations off of him, he is slowly killing them all ...

 

[Pathan007]

malik u dumb. bring on da spinners.

 

[the true passionist]

India is running away with the game...
Malik has to think fast and get a quick couple of wickets.

 

[12thMan]

need two wickets by 100

 

[Pathan007]

Malik proving that he is a true successor to Inzimam when it comes to sheer lack of tactics ...

I had so many expectations off of him, he is slowly killing them all ...

a person like Afridi is born with leadership skills. ppl like malik r made into which hardly equals out the latter.

 

[Oxy]

Muzy wont be pleased to hear this, but the time has come to SACK MALIK - and replace him with someone else who we didnt want earlier on....

 

[jackal786]

Sohaib for all his drama queen act delivers and creates chances. But pathetic fielding of Pakistan has let him down.

 

[Oxy]

Afridite Man coming into the attack...

 

[Desi]

*** is lawson doing too? its drinks break, he should definitely send a message out to malik or something...

 

[Swaraj!!]

Is it drinks?

 

[12thMan]

I see that Shahid Afridi has got the balls - Ramiz

 

[Saqib]

Shahid Afridi

a bit late ?

 

[161]

rameez - "shahid afridi has got the balls"

 

[Oxy]

I think KAmi dropped another one (off Afridi)

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan struggling here! 240 is an average score in these conditions to say the least. Both Ganguly and Ghambir are good players of spin so its intresting how Afridi/rehman go here when they bowl.

 

[Saqib]

Only positive today...

1. Mohammed Yousuf unbeaten 83

2. Salman But 50

3. Afridi holding out atleast 30 balls

Negatives so far...

1. To many catches let down

2. Malik brings the spinners to late

 

[Pathan007]

yes dropped

 

[Bailan]

Kami drops another and has nerve to say ... 'shabah Afridi' bhai


Someone Afridi captain ............ please ... atleast he is willing to yell, reminds of Akram and Imran to some extent

 

[Desi]

3/3 for akmal, good work mate

 

[161]

shaabaash kamran drops a regulation edge off afridi.

 

[the true passionist]

when will Akmal be dropped...plz!!!!!!!!

 

[darkmoon459]

so he drops another off afridi.

 

[12thMan]

comeon Anjuman. hit the stump of Ganguly

 

[iafzal]

it is time send Akmal home after this game, he just cannot hang on to anything easy or difficult. No point in waiting anymore.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Too little too late for Pakistan, its all over bar the shouting now!

 

[abcanada]

another miss by akmal..................no. 3

 

[dinakar]

Afridi not animated anymore. he got used to with Akmal

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

lol well we cant blame our bowlers today they have got the edges but our keeper dont want to catch them today !

 

[Saqib]

Partnerships today...

 

[Desi]

WHO DO WE HAVE TO REPLACE AKMAL?!
can anyone in this current squad keep? answer please!

 

[aussie-pak]

)@ akmal.

how many dropped catches is that from him?

 

[Easa]

Credit needs to be given to Ganguly/Gambhir as well. They've timed/placed the ball very well!

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

LOL that made me laugh too.. Afridi seems to have lost hope in Akmal time ago thats why didnt really say much

 

[iafzal]

WHO DO WE HAVE TO REPLACE AKMAL?!
can anyone in this current squad keep? answer please!

At the moment anyone will be better to be fair

 

[Desi]

are the commentators talking about how trashy akmal is also? or is it just us?

 

[Plasma]

ok im going to sleep... can't take this any more...

 

[161]

rao not troubling anyone out here ... indians seem to have him well figured out .. we should play tanvir next match.

 

[Easa]

umm, Akmal has only dropped one catch and that was off Afridi.

The other two could just have easily been YK's catches.

 

[Pathan007]

rao lollypopping and akmal popping up behind the wicket.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Good work by Gambhir

 

[aussie-pak]

that fast bowlers are still on...w t h

 

[jackal786]

Akmal is really a third rate wicket keeper.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Are we making this match look easy for India, or are Pakistan handing this game to India on a platter with cherries on top.

 

[Desi]

umm, Akmal has only dropped one catch and that was off Afridi.

The other two could just have easily been YK's catches.

any other keeper in the world would have snagged em

 

[TaZ]

Akmal is a total disaster. He's got to go. Younis to keep and add an extra player like fawad

 

[waqar_ahmad]

what the hell is this guy doing. He calls himself a freaking keeper?

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Is Shoaib Akhtar injured???

 

[Bailan]

is it possible to fire the keeper during the game?

 

[12thMan]

Ind 94-1 after 16 overs
Pak was 61-1

 

[Oxy]

Run Out referred to 3rd Umpire...

 

[Oxy]

Thats OUT!!!

 

[Easa]

Ganguly run out!

 

[Easa]

That MUST be given out!

 

[Asim2Good]

Thats OUT!!!

I tell you that IS OUT

 

[siimo]

OUt!

 

[jackal786]

Afridi's off spin looks more confusing for Ganguly

 

[Desi]

Ind 94-1 after 16 overs
Pak was 61-1

how many freaking times do these two get beaten but dont get out.
changes..
rao-->tanvir
younis-->keeper+opener
nazir/yasir/fawad-->akmal

done

 

[Easa]

And given out, good stuff from Salman/Akmal!

We needed that!!

 

[Bailan]

that is out ...

 

[Sparhawk]

Yes!!! Awesome, we really needed that. Good throw tubby

 

[Oxy]

OUT!!!

Arun Lal called it correct....RAmeez doesnt want to accept that that is out.

Rameez - you are not in the same class as Waqar in the box...

 

[Amjid Javed]

The only way PCB can save face now is by calling up a back up keeper into sqaud.

Akmals been a disgrace!

 

[Saqib]

GANGULY OUT:

 

[Oxy]

That MUST be given out!

Not if you are Rameez who is disputing it!

 

[Desi]

im surprised akmal didnt **** it up

grats boy

 

[Bailan]

Can akmal hold on to catches from here on?


he didn't even looked interested in appealing ... oh well, got something going for him now

 

[161]

well good work from butt and akmal there.
