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

[sunny92]

Just reached work and straight away to PP..Good start from Pakistan.

Lets hope middle and lower order be able to capitalize on the start provided.

 

[TaZ]

Butt 29 (29)
Akmal 11 (27)

 

[the true passionist]

A v good start for Pakistan...but Akmal struggling and playing rash shot across the lines. He is looking to get out.

 

[Hash]

brilliant start by Pakistani standards.

I've always maintained that these two should be our opening pair in ODIs.

 

[Oxy]

Very strong Offside field

 

[Genghis]

Akmal is no opening batsmen ... the sooner we realise this the better!!!

 

[Oxy]

Kami goes close to pooping a catch to gullly

Thats twice hes come close

 

[Easa]

just woken up, didn't go to school.. I'm not feeling well!

solid start by us.

 

[Oxy]

HOrrible looking shot for 1 by KAmi.

44-0 off 10 overs.

I'm feeling his pain....

 

[Oxy]

India take PP # 2

 

[TaZ]

India working a plan here to try and get akmal who is struggling

44-0 off 10

 

[Hash]

I cannot believe we have batted first in swinging conditions yet have not lost a wicket in the first 10 overs!

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

 

[Oxy]

OUT! Inevitable.

Awful shot from KAmi.

LBW to PAthan

44-1

 

[Oxy]

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

Get lost Hash...

 

[TaZ]

Akmal gone

 

[12thMan]

Akmal out LBW Pathan
Pak 44-1 after 10.1 overs

 

[WasimG]

Ind do us a favor and get rid of Kamran. Nazir was looking good in the practice match and Arun Lal was saying Imran Nazir would've ended the T20 final in 7/8 overs and his run out was the turning poing.

 

[12thMan]

ball pitched outside leg stump - bad decision

 

[the true passionist]

Akmal has been nowhere in this innings..

 

[Hash]

Get lost Hash...

hey, I was right.

We didn't lose a wicket in the first 10!

Any Pak fan in the world would have taken this.

 

[the true passionist]

He was consistently playing across the line...he can play pretty decent on the offside but dont know why he has trying the slogs.

 

[Oxy]

UMpires leniant on wides. Thats the 3rd one not called

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

malik was so much better as a one down !whay younus ?

 

[Genghis]

Well Akmal gone ... and now hopefully we can settle into a decent partnership with both players contributing.

 

[Hash]

ball pitched outside leg stump - bad decision

ummm no mate it pitched outside off- decision was fine.

 

[Easa]

India's nemesis, YK in..

 

[Oxy]

Are commentators querying KAmis LBW? It was PLUMB - HONEST

 

[Hash]

UMpires leniant on wides. Thats the 3rd one not called

as long as they show the same leniacy to us, I have no problem. Sadly they wont here in Bahawalpur.

 

[Pathan007]

akmal was struggling.

 

[Oxy]

44-1 off 11 overs.

I would have taken that 11 overs ago...

 

[jackal786]

Butt's biggest plus was, he was a left hander. Facing 3 left armers is an easier job than a right hander.

 

[Pathan007]

Are commentators querying KAmis LBW? It was PLUMB - HONEST

sohail saying he must consider himself a bit unlucky.

 

[Hash]

is.

 

[Oxy]

sohail saying he must consider himself a bit unlucky.

No mate - It was GOOD decison

 

[TaZ]

Indian fielding has been red hot in the first 10

 

[the true passionist]

India's nemesis, YK in..

save that title for the tests!

 

[Oxy]

I think the BEAST was eating the head of a small baby there...

 

[jackal786]

sohail saying he must consider himself a bit unlucky.

Sohail often forgets he is a commentator like he asked Tony Cozier "Do you think the pitch for windies is going to be green. i dont think so"

 

[Hash]

Indian fielding has been red hot in the first 10

the difference is....ours will be red hot in the first 50

 

[Oxy]

Butt's biggest plus was, he was a left hander. Facing 3 left armers is an easier job than a right hander.

He still IS a left hander

 

[Oxy]

Another square cut for 4 - Butt is on fire today.

48-1

 

[Hash]

this pitch is going to get lower and slower plus those cracks are going to open up a bit.

We have got through the worst of the swing. Looking good here for Pakistan,

 

[Oxy]

49-1 off 12 overs.

Good going. Its been keeping low fdrom the 3rd over. I'm a very happy...

 

[Genghis]

the difference is....ours will be red hot in the first 50

if only dreams came true ...

 

[iZeeshan]

Brilliant batting by Butt...just started watching...

 

[Oxy]

Was Sehwag DROPPED or 'compassionate leave'?

 

[jackal786]

He still IS a left hander

yes he is !! was should have been is. Thanks for the correction

 

[Oxy]

Butt edges it into his pads.

50 up

 

[Hash]

49-1 off 12 overs.

Good going. Its been keeping low fdrom the 3rd over. I'm a very happy...

I must say I am a very happiness with this a start for the Pakistan.

 

[iZeeshan]

50 up for Pakistan

depressing how much of Pak's batting I missed

 

[jackal786]

Was Sehwag DROPPED or 'compassionate leave'?

Sehwag dropped? from where? He was never in the squad against OZ and England. Just that he has not been given a chance to play. Ideally india doesn't have to play Harbhajan as Sehwag can be a handy off spinner.

 

[Oxy]

YK off the mark with a single.

Looking good - hasnt layed any silly shot so far!!

 

[Hash]

Sehwag dropped? from where? He was never in the squad against OZ and England. Just that he has not been given a chance to play. Ideally india doesn't have to play Harbhajan as Sehwag can be a handy off spinner.

we would have destroyed him

 

[the true passionist]

Was Sehwag DROPPED or 'compassionate leave'?

i dont know about dropped but "left out" is term being used.

He has not been a regular for quite some time now.

 

[Oxy]

GREAT SHOT for 4.

Perfect straight drive!

Nonchelent!

 

[TaZ]

Butt is holding us together. Beautiful shot down the ground for 4

 

[Genghis]

YK off the mark

 

[iZeeshan]

Beauty straight drive for 4 by Butt!

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

not a bad start.. wahat is suppose to be a good score here ?

lol i set my alarm for 3:25 and game was already on

 

[Oxy]

Quick single for Butt

56-1 off 13.

Butt: 41* (off 41 balls)

 

[SUPERSAMI]

137k's from pathan, someone's been lifting

 

[Hash]

yes, Butt is useless. Should be dropped immediately

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt batting at 100 SR, 41/41 incredible!

 

[Oxy]

not a bad start.. wahat is suppose to be a good score here ?

lol i set my alarm for 3:25 and game was already on

They decided to start 30 mins early

 

[Oxy]

yes, Butt is useless. Should be dropped immediately

Some guys just dont know what the T20 was all about - and what ODIs/Tests require...

 

[iZeeshan]

I am not good at reading pitches...what is a par score? Is Pak batting too slow?

 

[jackal786]

we would have destroyed him

woulda shoulda coulda ! So you say Pakistan will struggle against Harbhajan?

 

[alghazzali]

137k's from pathan, someone's been lifting

Or extending

 

[Oxy]

Great seats for the PAk supporters...... issed:

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Butt looks like a totally different player than from what he looked in the 20-20 WC and the test series vs SA.

 

[Oxy]

I am not good at reading pitches...what is a par score? Is Pak batting too slow?

217 is the average score on this pitch....

 

[jackal786]

68 meter boundaries. Outfield is reasonably quick. You get value for your shots.

 

[Oxy]

Butt looks like a totally different player than from what he looked in the 20-20 WC and the test series vs SA.

I dont think he should ever be compared to his T20 form. I was his biggest critic during the T20 - but always maintained that he was THE man for ODIs/Tests

 

[Oxy]

57-1 off 14 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Only 1 off the over...

 

[Imy]

I think these radars are wrong

 

[alghazzali]

68 meter boundaries. Outfield is reasonably quick. You get value for your shots.

If they get the past the fielder.

 

[Oxy]

Rameez enters the Comm-box

 

[PlanetPakistan]

any one found out why Misbah is at 5 and Malik at 6?

 

[Oxy]

Misfield by Uttahpa.

Single to Butt.
