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

[ajk88]

I'd like to see Yuvraj out early.

 

[Saqib]

Afridi:



The crowd today...

 

[iZeeshan]

Great work by Malik! Another wicket, and we are on top!

 

[down4whatever]

Runs keep coming for India.

 

[Matic]

Seeing the back of Yuvraj will be phenomenal from the start we had.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon Akhtar give us a wicket !

 

[inzidabest]

yes thats right Pakistan need Yuvraj early and SHoab AKhtar should be the best bet. Yuvraj cannot play balls angling across him and swinging

 

[ajk88]

sight screen problem again... man if this costs us Malik next match I'm gonna be mad

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik heard you!! Shoaib is streching!

Of coruse he did, I got my sources...

 

[Saqib]

Bowling today...

 

[iZeeshan]

sight screen problem again... man if this costs us Malik next match I'm gonna be mad

It won't, referees take it into account.

 

[Plasma]

Why not bring Akhtar back for 2 overs? He has only bowled 4.

your wish has been granted. Akthar to bowl

 

[Matic]

Would anybody be surprised if this sightscreen problem was purposely done?? Why is it difficult?

 

[Matic]

Great line from Shoaib. Yuvraj defends with a lovely straight bat.

 

[W63L35]

sight screen problem again... man if this costs us Malik next match I'm gonna be mad

Nope.....the time taken by these kind of delays (e.g. injuries, sight screen, etc) is deducted when calculating the time taken by the fielding team to bowl 50 overs.

 

[12thMan]

only 1 run from the over
Ind 89-2 after 16 overs @ 5.56

 

[Plasma]

great over so far. last ball now

 

[W63L35]

Last 5 overs 16/1 RR 3.20

 

[Plasma]

one off the over, Axcellent stuff!





im missing Waqar...

 

[Saqib]

Tanvir pitch map

 

[Matic]

90-2 is a good situation to bowl against, except not in the 17th over.

 

[down4whatever]

yay, lets bowl more wides. Theres nothing like slowing down the overrate.

 

[Matic]

Full toss, Gambhir finds it difficult, 90-2 after 17.

Good comeback from Pakistan.

 

[Hash]

Tanvir just gave Gambhir a kiss!

hahahahah

 

[ajk88]

Another great over from Tanvir

 

[Matic]

Whoa! Did anybody see that action from Shoaib Akhtar? It was his 1999 pump!

 

[12thMan]

only 1 run from the wide from over
Ind 90-2 after 17 @ 5.29

 

[iZeeshan]

I think Shoaib is bowling too short? Shouldn't he pitch it up more?

 

[iafzal]

did you guys Tanvir's kiss to Yuvraj just priceless
He is having a good game lol

 

[ajk88]

RR dropping down to 5

 

[Matic]

Pakistan looking alive in the field now, racing fielders to recovering the defended ball. Shoaib Akhtar stretches his knee a bit, hope it isnt bothering him.

 

[iZeeshan]

Tanvir just gave Gambhir a kiss!

hahahahah

Lol yea I saw that too it was )

 

[Hash]

did you guys kiss to Yuvraj just priceless
He is having a good game lol

It was to Gambhir

 

[Plasma]

Tanvir gives a kiss to Gambhir!! )

 

[Matic]

Two Arabs spotted in the crowd, LOL

 

[inzidabest]

I think Shoaib is bowling too short? Shouldn't he pitch it up more?

overpitch and Yuvraj can handle it..short and angling away from him and yuvraj will give a catch behind..have seen it so many times..
question is will Akmal catch it

 

[ajk88]

maiden by shoaib!

 

[iZeeshan]

Maiden was that? Great economy from Akhtar!

Maybe one more over, but Akhtar should be saved for the death mostly.

 

[W63L35]

Shoaib Akhtar    6.0  	1  	18  	0  	3.00
Sohail Tanvir  	 5.0 	0 	15 	2 	3.00

Last 5 overs 11/1 RR 2.20

 

[ajk88]

nah save for the death

 

[iafzal]

Last 5 over RR 2.0 only

 

[Matic]

Man, Shoaib Akhtar's shoes have duct tape, toe holes and everything..

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, didn't know Yousuf had such a good arm!

 

[iZeeshan]

Man, Shoaib Akhtar's shoes have duct tape, toe holes and everything..

He should be rich enough for some new Nike spikes?

 

[Saqib]

Direct hit by Mohammed Yousuf





Akhtar...

 

[MIG]

Man, Shoaib Akhtar's shoes have duct tape, toe holes and everything..

He is a poor man...

 

[Matic]

92-2 after 19 overs. Applause for the recovery!

 

[asifp]

Whoa! Did anybody see that action from Shoaib Akhtar? It was his 1999 pump!

yep that action is so much smoother than his open chest thud

 

[CricnPak]

what do you guys reckon (a) a good score and (b) what India will get?

 

[Saqib]

 

[Imy]

Akthars feet are deformed, they are so flat

 

[W63L35]

freedi to bowl

 

[ajk88]

afridi on....

 

[Plasma]

moyo with a direct hit

 

[Saqib]

Afridi is on...

 

[inzidabest]

Good recovery...the spinners Afridi and Rehman will have to do more than a fine job to maintain the repair work..I think its time to get in Afridi

 

[iZeeshan]

Bowling changes impeccable so far from Malik. Good job for Saving Akhtar for death! He should do the same for Tanvir.

Its funny how part-timer enters before specialist

 

[Matic]

Shahid Afridi into the attack. Terrible fielding, two ran.

 

[inzidabest]

I am hoping here that Yuvraj will try something funny and gift his wicket

 

[down4whatever]

Gul having a bad game so far.

 

[Matic]

Yuvraj walks up, smashes to the boundary, Afridi and Gambhir argument!

 

[ajk88]

going after afridi already

 

[iZeeshan]

Oy hoy! Oy hoy! I love this!

 

[down4whatever]

4 from Gambhir.

 

[12thMan]

words between Ghambir and Afridi

 

[Matic]

Shahid Afridi sticks his elbow out as Gautham Gambhir looks to run into him. Gambhir looks like he got the worst of that!

Great confrontation.

 

[asifp]

it seemed to be Gambhir was not saying very nice works abotu Afridis mom

 

[Saqib]

 

[kablooee87]

Ghambir saying MC to Afridi. This should eb good.

 

[the true passionist]

100/2 after 20 ovrs

Pakistan must look to restrict them under 250.

The pitch is going to spin in the second innings helping the two indian spinners.

 

[Matic]

Meanwhile, Sohail Tanvir bowling 2.68 RPO.

 

[Matic]

Pakistani trainer "Faisal" and Shoaib Akhtar having a momentbeyond the boundary.

Saqib, hope you captured that.

 

[Saqib]

offffffffffffffff Shoaib Akhtar...as always...

 

[iZeeshan]

Uh-oh what's wrong with Akhar..?

I am 99% sure Gambhir said "chootiya"

 

[the true passionist]

Tanvir has bowled very well today with control.
We must keep at least 2 of his overs for the last few overs. We should probably replace him with Gul in this spell.

 

[Shah]

it seemed to be Gambhir was not saying very nice works abotu Afridis mom

how does he know Afridi's mom?

 

[Saqib]

Projected score...

 

[Plasma]

Afridi-Gambhir duel should be good

 

[Matic]

Very interesting to see the bowling/batting battle between Afridi and Gambhir now.

 

[iafzal]

Malik should keep Tanvir on as he is in Rythem now and keeping one end very tidy. No point about thinking about bringing him back later as he may not be able to ball this well later.
