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

[W63L35]

Two possibilities as usual

1) Blistering innings

2) Quick death.

How about in the middle this time.....an un-Afridi like innings?

 

[iZeeshan]

Increadibly poor fielding today by us..that was almost a four. Anyhow..Pakistan has started gaining momentum.

I think that's harsh. I think you guys have fielded pretty well today.

 

[Easa]

Afridi 'animal' is just biding his time..

 

[the true passionist]

Afridi know that there are players on the leg yet slogging in that very direction against spin.

 

[iZeeshan]

Big slog! Missed.

 

[UJ]

The fact that Afridi has made 7 off 11 balls shows that this is a low scoring pitch. We're still in this guys!!!

Or he could be looking to bat through the innings

 

[Genghis]

better over ... 7 off that one ...

 

[invincible]

is this a tugh wicket?????? or are we batting really badly!!QUOTE]

Sometimes, there is a third option - the opposition bowling well

 

[Easa]

120/3 from 33 overs.

 

[Genghis]

Or he could be looking to bat through the innings

I think we all know Afridi well enough to know thats not part of his thinking!!!

 

[alghazzali]

Tbh, I think Younis might have lost this match for us

 

[12thMan]

Pathan on to bowl

 

[MarathaPride]

Pathan vs Afridi...yeeehaw...go Pathan go..(the Indian pathan I mean )

 

[Plasma]

Afridi taking singles??

 

[Hash]

why aren't they having drinks!

 

[iZeeshan]

Afridi vs Pathan, should be interesting..

 

[rahulrulezz]

me too I will cheer as much as I can for someone like YK but not for Afridi ... The guy is devastating if he can face more than 30-40 balls ...

i am talking about spectators in the ground..i saw one indian holding a poster with "Boom Boom Afridi" written on it...

P.S.-- Whats wrong with afridi..how come hes playing so maturely..finally he realized batting doesnt just mean slogging....good for him

 

[aussie-pak]

afridi using his brain.

 

[W63L35]

Pathan vs Afridi...yeeehaw...go Pathan go..(the Indian pathan I mean )

[12thMan]

why aren't they having drinks!

should be after this over

 

[Easa]

Afridi vs Pathan!

This is going to be good..

 

[iZeeshan]

why aren't they having drinks!

Just go take your ****.

 

[invincible]

I think the msg. from Malik to Afridi would have been to take time settle down until the 34th over and then go after the bowling (when the ball is changed and has a much harder feel to it)

 

[TaZ]

Pathan vs Pathan here

 

[alghazzali]

Afridi OUT of his usual rhythm

 

[UJ]

I think we all know Afridi well enough to know thats not part of his thinking!!!

Im starting to think that 5th ODI vs SAF has changed him...only took 246 ODIs, but better late then never!

 

[the true passionist]

Running b/w the wickets is a big question mark for PAK.

 

[iZeeshan]

My streamer went to sleep and his sky went on standby!

 

[12thMan]

wide well done

Dhoni...knows Irfan's record vs Afridi.....

Janab..let see how the innings turns out..a couple of sixes by Afridi and a clean bowled would be more than acceptable

 

[rahulrulezz]

finally..... The REAL pathan versus Fake Afridi Pathan

 

[MarathaPride]

Erhm..6 runs of Irfy's over.. I spoke too soon.

 

[W63L35]

Janab..let see how the innings turns out..a couple of sixes by Afridi and a clean bowled but would be more than acceptable

We'll see!

 

[12thMan]

edit

 

[Plasma]

Afridi OUT of his usual rhythm

you freaking gave me a heart attack, never do that again...

 

[abcanada]

what are predictions for final score........ i think its gonna be hardly 200-210!!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Whoo! SIX!

 

[alghazzali]

you freaking gave me a heart attack, never do that again...

That was the point, to desensitise you for the actuality

 

[iZeeshan]

Zak is bak.

 

[Hash]

what are they doing?

is it illegal to have a drinks break?

I am bursting here.

 

[Caved12]

Remember Afridi apologized, it seems now as he really was sorry, I hope has has changed for the good of cricket and his country, should say our country.

 

[12thMan]

Afridi pulls for a six
Pak 133-3

 

[Plasma]

wide well done

you seem like you need a hug

 

[iZeeshan]

Standing SIX! Incredible!

 

[Hash]

Great innings by Afridi so far

 

[Hash]

he hits a six and gets a single next ball!

Has he finally grown a brain?

 

[Genghis]

has it started???

 

[abcanada]

Finalllllllllllllllly!!!

 

[Easa]

That was pure brutality by Afridi!

 

[iZeeshan]

I love THIS Afridi! SIX then single!

 

[MarathaPride]

what are they doing?

is it illegal to have a drinks break?

I am bursting here.

You might as well extend your agony a bit more..your players are about to start firing on all cylinders..

 

[abcanada]

Remember Afridi apologized, it seems now as he really was sorry, I hope has has changed for the good of cricket and his country, should say our country.

When and how did he applogize???? any links?

 

[12thMan]

the running between wickets is pretty bad. They look unsure to run or decide at middle of the pitch

 

[Hash]

can they PLEASE have a drinks break now!

I am in PAIN!

 

[the true passionist]

With Afridi in the run rate has improved.

Pakistan will be looking to add another 100 in the last 15.

137/3 in 35 overs.

 

[Hash]

When and how did he applogize???? any links?

he came on tv and said it was all his fault we lost the 5th ODI against SA and apologised to the whole nation.

 

[Genghis]

Poor move from Dhoni to take both spinners off.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

can they PLEASE have a drinks break now!

I am in PAIN!

See, please helps

 

[12thMan]

coke mobile coming
Pak 137-3 after 35 overs

 

[Easa]

Drinks on now.. Hash must be sprinting to the bathroom right about now.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

RR close to 4 now- Afridi doing a useful job here

 

[abcanada]

perhaps the momentum is building......... maybe 250 can happen!!

 

[invincible]

Poor move from Dhoni to take both spinners off.

Made even poorer by not bringing in RP Singh ... He is much harder to get away and is a genuine wicket taker ...

 

[Genghis]

11 runs off the last over ... more like that thanks!!!

 

[P4K1 #1]

afridi playing very well.. just support yousuf

 

[iZeeshan]

Drinks

Latest on the commentary

Hash, who has been in pain for the past 6 overs, gets to take his leak

In other news, Afridi just hit a six.

 

[MarathaPride]

Last 5 ovs 32/0 RR 6.40 Not cool at all...C'mon Irfy..work your magic

 

[Megadeth]

Afridi playing SMART for once..rotating the strike almost fr every ball he has faced...just what pak needs..

 

[iZeeshan]

afridi playing very well.. just support yousuf

Mate you've reversed the equation. Yousuf should do the supporting.

 

[Plasma]

will this innings of Afridi be remembered for something other then the usual reasons??

 

[PlanetPakistan]

he hits a six and gets a single next ball!

Has he finally grown a brain?

well that's because this time the crowd was quiet

 

[12thMan]

projected @6 - 227 and @8 - 257

 

[siimo]

Hold onto you seats guys, Afridi special about to unfold here.

 

[abcanada]

100 runs from last 15 means ............. 6.67 RR in last 15 overs!! its quite possible if afridi can continue for 5-6 overs more... then shoaib and misbah both can provide some good innings, they have been good against the indian attack in 20-20 so they should do fine!!

for last 5 overs, the RR is 6.40 cos of that 6 from afridi........ so i think 237 is quite possible if we keep all 7 wickets in hand in the 40th over!!

 

[Genghis]

Yousuf doing well here too to find the singles.

 

[MarathaPride]

damn 4!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

I think this was a time we NEEDED Afridi to be stupid.

 

[12thMan]

Mo Yo chokkkaaaa to square leg

 

[Hash]

man I needed that leak!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

147/3 now...RR is over 4!
