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

[161]

Dude...Its 93/2 right now..how have we got this game in the bag so soon???

off of 27 overs mind you ...

india has a very strong batting line up .. and they do even better at home.

they will chase down anything below 25o with EASE.

 

[iZeeshan]

I am fairly happy with the way things are at the moment.

94 for 2....wickets in hand and over 20 overs to go on a low and slow wicket which is going to get lower and slower as the game progresses. Plus there are cracks on the pitch which will open up some more.

Pakistan are on top at the moment. It would be nice if we rotated the strike a little more but I’m not worried about that yet as we still have plenty of batting to come. These two should look to bat until the 35th over or so.

Sure, but you've gotta be worried some bit? And bored?

Really need to get these two going!

 

[WasimG]

At the end of Bhajji's over its been 91 balls and 60 mins since last boundary.

 

[offstump]

wow...15 overs without a boundary

 

[iZeeshan]

off of 27 overs mind you ...

india has a very strong batting line up .. and they do even better at home.

they will chase down anything below 25o with EASE.

That's what I keep saying, but Hash bahi begs to differ.

 

[12thMan]

15 overs since last boundry
Pak 97-2 after 28 overs @ 3.46

 

[alghazzali]

Both teams are competing to see which one's crappier.

I think it's closely contested, they did say it'll b a close series, didn't know what they meant until now, it's all so clear

 

[CricketBuff]

Are they bowling really well, is the wicket playing tricks or is it just poor slow batting by YK and MOYO

 

[Pathan007]

even Gul would've hit a boundary at this stage.

 

[Hash]

Sure, but you've gotta be worried some bit? And bored?

Really need to get these two going!

definitely not bored.

I'll be worried if they keep batting like this until the 40th over.

They need to start picking off some more 1s and 2s now.

 

[Genghis]

15 overs since a boundary is not impressive reading...

 

[iZeeshan]

wow...15 overs without a boundary

And Mind you, its an ODI.

Come on take some risks! Keep it moving, seriously.

 

[Hash]

100 up for Pakistan

 

[12thMan]

oooooo almost a boundry
Pak 100 up

 

[TaZ]

This is a great test match innings from younis

Come on

 

[Pathan007]

had yunus not run out Butt we would've been cruising at the moment. useless naswar khan.

 

[MarathaPride]

100's up for Pakistan..C'mon India get a wicket..5 runs off 4 balls..they have started swinging...

 

[offstump]

younis keeps trying the sweep shot and they have a fielder there just for it...

 

[iZeeshan]

100 up for Pakistan. Move on kids, move on. Looks like they are.

 

[alghazzali]

These are guys are too old, they need to get with the times. WAKE UP! 21st century, RR of atleast 5 required

 

[Pak_cricketer]

oooooo almost a boundry
Pak 100 up

)

Almost.. Come on guys we need runs.. We need runs at a good pace so we can actually get more at the end.

 

[Genghis]

a couple of 2s ... thats getting better

 

[Hash]

That's what I keep saying, but Hash bahi begs to differ.

250 will be a good score on this pitch.

Below 250 will be gettable for India.

 

[offstump]

even the dressing room looks disgusted with this batting

 

[Imy]

Rahul according to cricket law if the ball pitches out side of leg stump you cant be LBW so Ramiz was right

 

[12thMan]

Projected score @4 -186 @6-228 @8-270

 

[MarathaPride]

Hmm..seems like today is reverse sweep shot day for Pakistani batsmen

 

[alghazzali]

Put it into proper perspective, u really think any of the Indians are going to play like this. Our bowlers will have to go 4 wickets

 

[Pathan007]

Afridi must come out next. if he gets out 1st ball duck still. these 2 r playing for India.

 

[TaZ]

Younis 25(57)

And out... Going for the big shot

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Good ab out hogha hai.. Ab kya Younis?

 

[iZeeshan]

250 will be a good score on this pitch.

Below 250 will be gettable for India.

Can't see us getting 250 like this?

 

[12thMan]

Ramiz frustrated with the batting
YK out ct at long on
Pak 104-3 after 29.5

 

[iZeeshan]

Unbelievable how as soon as they start going for it, he gets out!

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

this is really bad batting ! i dont think that we are going to win this one !

 

[Hash]

Can't see us getting 250 like this?

we are not going to bat like this for the whole innings are we!

anyway you got your wish. Younus out.

 

[161]

That's what I keep saying, but Hash bahi begs to differ.

he is entitled to his opinion .. and i'm going to bed ... wake me up when shoaib has the ball in his hand !

 

[mooz]

250 will be a good score on this pitch.

Below 250 will be gettable for India.

what odds are u giving pakistan getting to 250?

I think they will be well short.

 

[J-Essence]

now watch the collapse

 

[alghazzali]

Useless Khan, he has done his name proud!

 

[MarathaPride]

Younis Khan Gone!!! Hooray ..well maybe Hooraay

 

[offstump]

good news....younis is gone thank god thats his biggest contribution to this innings

 

[Genghis]

Younis wastes another start!!!

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

a collapse waiting !only malik n afrid can save us now !

 

[Easa]

Thats poor from YK. His scoring rate would be all right as long as he didn't throw it away in the end.

Not what we needed.. 104/3!

 

[161]

Yes Go Harbi !!!!

Thank You For Putting Yk Out Of His Misery !

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Malik is a good player of spin. Hope he can give the innings a bit of a momentum

 

[Hammad]

That is what i predicted about YK....he would waste few overs and then get out......the guy is plain dishonest!

 

[12thMan]

Afridi on

 

[TaZ]

Afridi in ahead of malik to try and up the rate

 

[Pak_cricketer]

now watch the collapse

I don't care.

We weren't getting anywhere with Younis. We'll get somewhere now.

 

[the true passionist]

Pakistan are 105/3 after 30

By the doubling rule Pakistan should reach to about 210

Malik, Misbah, and Afridi have to play fast to make this a decent total.

Younis plays another useless innings...Ramiz not impressed at all.

Indian spinners have bowled well with 6-7 fielders in the circle.

 

[iZeeshan]

we are not going to bat like this for the whole innings are we!

anyway you got your wish. Younus out.

I never wished for Younis to get out! I wanted him to start moving things along.

 

[jackal786]

Two possibilities as usual

1) Blistering innings

2) Quick death.

 

[Easa]

Afridi in, this suddenly got a lot more interesting!

 

[12thMan]

Afridi slog sweeps and ball lands in no man's land

 

[Hash]

Please Afridi

For once don't let everyone down.

 

[MarathaPride]

Awrite Afridi..Indian spinner/whoever comes in to bowl to him...stay focused and calm...rr is on our side...onus is on Afridi..Afridi mian..please leave quickly..

 

[TaZ]

Even afridi struggling to find the boundary

 

[offstump]

shoaib malik needs to come in at #3 i dont know why he is batting down the order

 

[iZeeshan]

Lofted high for 2 runs.

 

[Asim2Good]

Even afridi struggling to find the boundary

just after 3 deliveries ? ) ) )

 

[Genghis]

a couple of air shots from Afridi ... but safe so far

 

[rahulrulezz]

good to see indian supporters cheeering for Afridi when he came to bat... they also cheered for S.Butt half century...

 

[iZeeshan]

Afridi playing smart or is something going wrong?

 

[abcanada]

i hope afrid can make up for the last SA game today!!!

 

[Hash]

can they have drinks please

i really need to go take a leak

 

[alghazzali]

shoaib malik needs to come in at #3 i dont know why he is batting down the order

Very true, he is multi-dimensional, unlike Useless

 

[Genghis]

If Afridi can stay till the 40th over ... it could make things interesting!!!

 

[abcanada]

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

what do u think our balling will be like or rather how mcuh can we defend??

 

[mooz]

can they have drinks please

i really need to go take a leak

The time to take a bathroom break was when YK and MoYo were dicking around.

 

[MarathaPride]

good to see indian supporters cheeering for Afridi when he came to bat... they also cheered for S.Butt half century...

Umm..I am not cheering for Afridi ..I want him out..

 

[mooz]

Umm..I am not cheering for Afridi ..I want him out..

He is talking about the enlightened, fair-minded Indian supporters only.

 

[12thMan]

Pak 113-3 after 32 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Afridi in and still no boundary...this pitch is wierd...

 

[invincible]

Umm..I am not cheering for Afridi ..I want him out..

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 ...

 

[Genghis]

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

 

[MarathaPride]

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

 

[mooz]

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

I think Afridi has had a change of heart after the last ODI game. I think you will see a different afridi from now on.

 

[TaZ]

You can see why 217 is the average score on this ground

With butt we were on for 250+
