India v Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Mohali | 8/11/07 [Pak Inngs]

[iZeeshan]

Well, Pakistan set to chase 322. Huge total.

Need Butt to get a good, strong 50. Malik to come at 3, and Afridi at 5. And they all have to perform.

 

[P4K1 #1]

Pakistan have to bat really well if they want to win this game.. under lights its going to be tough

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan have to make sure that they have a healthy run-rate and wickets in hand by the time the dew arrives. Then we can really get to the rocking part

 

[the true passionist]

The key on this pitch is to set yourself in and the scoring becomes easy.

Instead of coming out with guns blazing, Pakistan should look to minimize the wicket loss in the first 15 overs. Remember, India is a bowler short and the pitch is not spinning. Scoring against spin shouldn't be hard at all.

 

[jackal786]

Inzi is usually good in orchestrating high chase. Not sure who is going to do that role here.

 

[jackal786]

Sehwag will bowl flat spinners and Tendu will share a few with negative bowling!

 

[Uzi]

Not watching the match.

Is India's score down to a batting beauty or crap bowling from Pak?

 

[Usman Chadda]

It all boils down to who really wants the win more - India or Pakistan. If the guys can set their sights on the target and focus on achieving this victory, we have a very good chance of pulling it off

 

[Uzi]

What rubbish from the bowlers. While the free hit rule has come in effect Pakistan have bowled more then15 No balls while India have bowled only a single no ball.

Good luck Pakistan and KAMRAN AKMAL, they gonna need it for sure!

Ok I guess Pak's bowling was crap.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Batting will be very difficult for the first 10 overs. PAK need to strike between the 10th and the 34th over.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Not watching the match.

Is India's score down to a batting beauty or crap bowling from Pak?

A combination of both really. The extras didn't help us either

 

[NeVerMind]

Just cannot see it happening, we are no South Africa and Inzy is not here! Seriously, we have looked absolutely clueless in this series and I bet we have no plan/strategy to chase this down...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Not watching the match.

Is India's score down to a batting beauty or crap bowling from Pak?

Neither.
India just batted very well(especially Sachin). PAK fought back quite well though and had it not been for a Bhajji cameo we would have had them for 295

 

[Jedi Knight]

Is there any commentary on the net available?

 

[Pathan007]

c'mon guys 150 at least if not 200.

 

[Ralync]

first ball wide

 

[mooz]

That first ball would have been 5 wides if Kamran was keeping.

 

[inzidabest]

well if Pak win this one some things might sort out themselves..these guys dont look as if they feel they can beat India..that needs to change

 

[inzidabest]

) )

That first ball would have been 5 wides if Kamran was keeping.

 

[tauseefm]

ok guyz, don't need to panic. we will win this game inshallah(if and only if we play in partnerships)

Hopefully they won't just slog but play using their mind and target some sort of score in every 5 overs.

lets see what happens..

 

[shan2026]

10-0 1 over

 

[Oxy]

Fine fielding from India already!

 

[aggarwald]

India returning the favor...Khan 3 wides already.

 

[salman24]

GOod start for PAk by Zaheer khan ,lol

 

[CricketBuff]

India bowling wides too, ball is difficult to control here !!!!

 

[Ralync]

India with a good first over

 

[inzidabest]

more extras from India would be a nice gift..Pakistan need to win this one to get a good amount of confidence and light up this series...

 

[Shahid A]

is the ball swinging big for RP Singh?

 

[CricketBuff]

What ever happened to Zee Sports !!!!

 

[Oxy]

RP cuts Butt in half!

 

[shan2026]

to much movement, i don't think we will survive here

 

[Oxy]

Kami Slashes a boundary for 4!

 

[inzidabest]

to much movement, i don't think we will survive here

will be there for first 10 - 15 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Strong shot for 4 from Kamran.

 

[CricketBuff]

I feel sorry for Akmal, after keeping wicket for 50 overs and 40 wides, he is back again to open after only a 15 minute break !!!!!

 

[Shahid A]

Come On Butt

 

[Shahid A]

Akmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll

 

[inzidabest]

I feel sorry for Akmal, after keeping wicket for 50 overs and 40 wides, he is back again to open after only a 15 minute break !!!!!

such things do not matter
well its is more than high time for Pakistan to be tough on their cricketers and demand more effort from them...

 

[KA$H]

come on butty-boy!

i can see the 3rd man region already playing big for pak - hope we dont steer the ball into the slips inadvertantly

 

[CricketBuff]

Indians have a good team guys, they have invested heavily in Cricket academies and coaching and are now getting the just rewards. Moreover they do also have the money to invest in Cricket.

 

[inzidabest]

Kam run has to take risks while Butt has to bat sensibly...or am I asking for too much?

 

[champion_pak]

i dont know...it isnt working ahh i wanted to see the match

 

[Oxy]

WIDE BALL

19-0 off 3 overs

 

[Shahid A]

strike rate's too low for the 2 batsmen

 

[inzidabest]

Indians have a good team guys, they have invested heavily in Cricket academies and coaching and are now getting the just rewards. Moreover they do also have the money to invest in Cricket.

its the belief...India belive they can thrash Pakistan...and this Pakistan team fear losing..its looks that way at least

 

[Ralync]

we really don't want the RRR creeping too high hopefully kamy will keep it in check

 

[Oxy]

strike rate's too low for the 2 batsmen

Here we go.....

 

[Oxy]

Another 4 from Kami

24-0 off 3.4

 

[iZeeshan]

Its inverse. Akmals moving the score and Butt is ticking...

 

[the true passionist]

steady start after 4 overs: 24/0

doing very well..just need to concentrate..and bad balls will come.

 

[inzidabest]

dont worry about the strike rate...wickets is the key..the dew will come in and after that teams have easily maintained rr of 8 also while chasing...

 

[inzidabest]

even average batsmen look good when there is dew...memories..Ind v Pak 4th ODI in Jeet lo Dil..and also the 5th when Malik and Moin batted so easily when the dew came in

 

[Oxy]

Kami missing out on some leg side 'gimees'

 

[Oxy]

Edged - past 2nd slip - 4 runs to Butt

 

[Oxy]

Great pull by Butt! Another boundary

34-0

 

[mooz]

even average batsmen look good when there is dew...memories..Ind v Pak 4th ODI in Jeet lo Dil..and also the 5th when Malik and Moin batted so easily when the dew came in

Aren't you being a tad petty here?

 

[iZeeshan]

Beautiful pull for 4! Great stuff! Go Butt!

 

[Oxy]

Butt misses out on a 3rd successive boundary!

34-0

 

[inzidabest]

Aren't you being a tad petty here?

??whts wrng in what I said there

 

[Oxy]

even average batsmen look good when there is dew...memories..Ind v Pak 4th ODI in Jeet lo Dil..and also the 5th when Malik and Moin batted so easily when the dew came in

When will you ever back OUR team? (apart from when they are 100% on their way to winning?)

 

[Oxy]

KAmi OUT!

Top catch by Yuvi

38-1

 

[mooz]

??whts wrng in what I said there

I think you are laying the groundwork for your excuses in the unlikley event that we win. Which is fine, as long as you don't belittle the efforts of Moin and the others you listed. You need to bat well to score runs, dew or not.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

When will you ever back OUR team? (apart from when they are 100% on their way to winning?)

it really is like banging our heads against a brickwall!

 

[inzidabest]

When will you ever back OUR team? (apart from when they are 100% on their way to winning?)

always backing
that was to counter the strike rate issue.
but then dont expect me to praise the wrong doings

 

[KA$H]

When will you ever back OUR team? (apart from when they are 100% on their way to winning?)

I'm sorry this is pak we are talking abt here - when are we EVER safe and 100% on our way to winning?

 

[ajk88]

another failure from kamran

what a surprise

 

[khalidali7070]

once more the action replay out for kami from many a games!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal gone, intresting to see who pakistan send in next!

 

[the true passionist]

KAmi OUT!

Top catch by Yuvi

38-1

more like regulation catch.

Younis and Butt have to stick together and rotate the strike.
No reckless shot please!

 

[khalidali7070]

Akmal gone, intresting to see who pakistan send in next!

The famous phatan belly dancer!

 

[Oxy]

more like regulation catch.

Younis and Butt have to stick together and rotate the strike.
No reckless shot please!

I'm judging by Pak fielding standards

 

[inzidabest]

I think you are laying the groundwork for your excuses in the unlikley event that we win. Which is fine, as long as you don't belittle the efforts of Moin and the others you listed. You need to bat well to score runs, dew or not.

who said I dont want Pakistan to win..
I said I dont want them to give 50 extras.
I dont want them to claim that Rao, Rehman are great bowlers.
Dont want them to claim that this bowling attack is even good.
Doing right things is different, winning and losing is different.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and younis is in...may Allah save us all

 

[salman24]

Hope Younis has a better start this time around

 

[Pathan007]

akmal throws his wicket away. way to go kami pasha. 1st u drop gambhir and now u do jack with bat.

 

[tauseefm]

come on guyz, don't lose ur heart ..we just need couple of good partnerships..
inshallah pakistan will win this match. just calm down..
btw how was yuvi's catch? its sad that i am working today :'(

 

[jackal786]

Hopefully younis does a similar job he did in the last match !

 

[Pathan007]

watch the required run rate shoot up to 10 when yunus is there.

 

[Oxy]

3 boundaries saved by Indian fielders already...

 

[Amjid Javed]

YK sent in at 3, expect scoring rate to drop quickly!
