India v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Kanpur| 11/11/07 [Ind Inngs]

[Matic]

They will attack the spinners

 

[Saqib]

hmmmm no ball by the square leg umpire



Afridi was outside the ring...

 

[Matic]

SIX! Smacked straight over the bowler

 

[Sparhawk]

Why cant rehman just push it through into the block hold? The way bhajji does.

 

[MarathaPride]

Robin Utthapa u....umm....sweet thing..

 

[iZeeshan]

Well 225 being the average score, I am scared.

But Afridi should DEFINETELY open now. He can get us off to a good start,,,

 

[Saqib]

the first ball of Rehman

 

[Matic]

Wide! Can't afford extra's!

 

[Sparhawk]

*** two wides

 

[azcali78]

I dont think Rehman has it in him to be a ODI player.

 

[down4whatever]

wow, another brainfart by Afridi.

 

[Caved12]

Nope i don't see a bowlout. we should bowl slower ones, and look to contain. keep that score less than 275.

The message I was trying to send was that no matter what, I believe in my team, and always confident that they could do anything, realistically, there are very less chances that we are going to bowl them out, but I am a true supporter of my team and would always hope that the oppositions don't get to a huge total.

 

[MarathaPride]

2 wides in a row..cooool!!

 

[Imy]

beacuse he is not that good he did okay with SA but thats because SA are not good players of spin

 

[down4whatever]

this one is on Malik. How do you leave a spinner for the death?

 

[alghazzali]

I have a feeling they will touch 285ish

Quite easily, a high chance of passing that

 

[Matic]

Yuvraj OUT! Nice catch! Was in the air for a long time. Misbah Ul Haq takes it cleanly!

 

[Sparhawk]

Yeaaaa Wicket!!! Yuvi gone for 77

 

[iZeeshan]

Yes! Clean catch by Misbah dismissed Yuvi! Excellent knock, some hope still there for Pakistan (to limit the score, I mean)

 

[MarathaPride]

Damn..Yuvi gone..Robin is upto you now

 

[12thMan]

out/ someone is out. cheetah strikes

 

[ajk88]

hopefully their tail doesn't wag as much as it did in the last ODI

 

[Matic]

Irfan Pathan in, he can send it to the fence as well! Only 3.3 overs left, he'll waste no time.

 

[Saqib]

Wicket of Yuvraj...

 

[down4whatever]

the Umps cant cheat us out of that wicket, Yuvi.

 

[Sparhawk]

Despite the wicket this is a bad over.

 

[Matic]

reverse sweep put away for 4, sloppy work by Misbah surprisingly

 

[Lara400]

he's holed out!

 

[Plasma]

phew.... Singh out

 

[inzidabest]

300 banega pakka

 

[ajk88]

4... rehman bowling the death was such a stupid idea

 

[Matic]

This is going to be more than 270.

280 looks right.

 

[MarathaPride]

264/5 after 47..not good not bad..given the performance by Pak batsmen last time

 

[ajk88]

More like 290-95.

 

[down4whatever]

14 runs off the over. Phew, i thought it was going to be a 6 sixer

 

[Saqib]

Umar Gul is back on...

start of with a full toss

 

[Matic]

Bowled him! Umar Gul strikes in the death!

 

[MarathaPride]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! robin u idiot

 

[iZeeshan]

Beauty yorker from Gul! Yuttapa gone!

 

[Saqib]

Wicket....

 

[12thMan]

Gullu Shah strikes

 

[ajk88]

"Uthappa is not happy with the wood"

 

[Sparhawk]

Gul you beauty!!!!

 

[Matic]

Umar Gul late over yorkers are working for him

 

[Matic]

Wide!

Why would you bowl short?!?!?

 

[Caved12]

Malik should tell gul to bowl your first spell like you bowl your last.

 

[Lara400]

cleaned up

 

[down4whatever]

follows up with a wide......

 

[down4whatever]

27 extras so far.


..Some things never change.....

 

[Sparhawk]

Indians deliberately running on the pitch

they'r asking for it.

 

[Matic]

Shoaib Malik botches an easy run out.

 

[abcanada]

so is this going to be tough to chaseeeee???? since its the highest score ever on this pitch???

 

[MarathaPride]

horrendous batting by india in the final 10

 

[down4whatever]

the next over with Rehman will be the key. It can make or break Indias chances for a 300

 

[Saqib]

Harbajhan running on the pitch got a warning

 

[Matic]

Great over by Umar Gul. 2 runs from it.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good throw, that should have been out!

 

[MarathaPride]

what a smash...SIX finally

 

[Swaraj!!]

Just joined in....hows the pitch? Is it as good a pitch as the Mohali one to bat on?

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Pathan hits one for a six !

 

[Matic]

Pathan wallops a SIX way over the boundary!

 

[iZeeshan]

What a shot! SIX!

 

[ajk88]

rehman hit for six again

 

[down4whatever]

six. This over will hurt us, real bad.

 

[Matic]

Another SIX! Pathan gives India a boost!

 

[inzidabest]

ha ha Rehman quality spinner ha ha

 

[Matic]

Forget 270, forget 280, 290? 300?

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

bowling a spinner at the end is a big no no..

 

[down4whatever]

Rehman was put in a terrible position by his captain. Cant really blame him. Nobody plays a slow left armer at the death.

 

[ajk88]

oh man... disastrous over

 

[iafzal]

Abdur could not bowl in the death a good bit of blame on Malik for this bad planning.

 

[MarathaPride]

good shot..six!!

 

[down4whatever]

that over took the wind out of the sails.

 

[tauseefm]

fcuking rehman is bowling craping balls .. thats totally stupid bowling by him. i wouldn't select him over rao.. anyways, pakistani batsman needs to bat really really well. this is a two pace pitch so bating going to be really hard

 

[Matic]

Umar Gul bowling the last over.

 

[inzidabest]

Pathan screwing rehman

 

[Matic]

Unorthodox shot by Harbhajan

 

[ajk88]

would like to see under 290 please!

 

[down4whatever]

Rehman, last 4 overs, 1/50

 

[161]

playing a specialist spinner againt india in an odi ... honestly .. malik is just plain dumb.

indian's just play spin too well .. i'd rather give rao another chance or draft sami in.

BUMP




well done selectors !

rao would have been a handful on a pitch like this.
