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

[Plasma]

catch dropped by butt

 

[ajk88]

would have put us in driving seat if taken... sigh

 

[Matic]

oh come on....that cant be true for heavens sake

Granted that it was kind of low, but a player like Salman needs to cradle those nicely.

 

[MarathaPride]

OMG..Yuvraj man easy!!! watcha trying ta do????

 

[Matic]

India 136-3 after 30 overs.

Yuvraj and MS Dhoni talking about a partnership? Dinner plans?

 

[ajk88]

good over from rehman... just one off it

 

[the true passionist]

India 136/3 after 30 overs.

India expected to reach 270 if they do not lose quick wickets.

2 drops and a few misfields for Pakistan today.

 

[12thMan]

Ind 136-3 after 30 @ 4.53

 

[Matic]

A good appeal for the lbw chance, looked like it could have gone both ways.

 

[Boys_played_well]

I hope Malik brings in Shoaib early against Dhoni. He himself is not going to get anyone out.

 

[MarathaPride]

India 136/3 after 30 overs.

India expected to reach 270 if they do not lose quick wickets.

2 drops and a few misfields for Pakistan today.

Hmm...270 wont be enough given the current performance of Indian bowlers....a Dhoni/Yuvi partnership is badly needed now.

 

[down4whatever]

Malik with a wide.

 

[Matic]

Drinks break.

What's up with this Coca Cola can?

 

[ajk88]

Hmm...270 wont be enough given the current performance of Indian bowlers....a Dhoni/Yuvi partnership is badly needed now.

This will be a lot more difficult to chase than the Mohali pitch. 270 is a strong total.

 

[Hash]

PLUMB lbw not given

was hitting middle of middle stump. Yuvraj lucky there.

250 will be a fighting total here for sure because the pitch will get better and better for spin as the game progresses.

 

[the true passionist]

Hmm...270 wont be enough given the current performance of Indian bowlers....a Dhoni/Yuvi partnership is badly needed now.

270 would be very good on this pitch..and Pakistan's batting.

Murli Kartik will be the major threat on this pitch.

Having made one big score Pakistan will struggle to chase anything above 250.

 

[the true passionist]

umpiring has been poor through out the ODI series.

 

[12thMan]

Yuvraj Singh 27 off 53 balls @ 50.94

 

[down4whatever]

these umpires stink

 

[Saqib]

Yuvraj dropped by Salman But...



The wicket of Rehman...

 

[Matic]

Rehman is troubling Dhoni. Must keep this consistant.

 

[MIG]

rr going down to 4.46 but the threat of a last minute assault remains

 

[ajk88]

rr going down to 4.46 but the threat of a last minute assault remains

yeah as long as they keep their wickets

 

[MarathaPride]

Dhoni drags ball onto shoes....way too risky...c'mon India steady.

 

[Matic]

Do they not have silly points in ODIs anymore? These batsmen are finding it very difficult against the spinners.

 

[Matic]

Great fielding by Dhoni! Stops a single.

 

[iZeeshan]

And a maiden for Malik!

 

[kablooee87]

maiden over.

A wicket before the new ball would be good.

 

[Plasma]

rehman doing very well, keep it up.

Gul and Akthar need to do well in the death, that will be the difference.

 

[ajk88]

another maiden... what are these guys doing?

 

[12thMan]

maiden by another Pakistani hero

 

[Matic]

Abdur Rehman's spin is so lethal, he can sneak in a straighter one and the batsmen will play the turn.

 

[slix10]

another maiden... what are these guys doing?

Waiting for the new ball.

 

[MarathaPride]

SIX!!!!!! Good going..but keep it steady

 

[Matic]

Don't celebrate now, Yuvraj sweeps a SIX.

 

[iZeeshan]

Beautiful shot by Yuvraj for six! Brilliant!

 

[ajk88]

SIX!!! The attack commences!

 

[MarathaPride]

SIX Again!!!!!!!!! Great work Yuvi!!!

 

[12thMan]

oh no a chakkaaa by Yuvi. lapait dia

 

[Matic]

Another big SIX from Yuvraj! Abdur Rehman attacked! Dropped chance is hurting Pakistan at the moment.

 

[iZeeshan]

And another six! Ouch! Pakistan hurting.

 

[the true passionist]

The way Rehman has bowled...Murali would be a big threat against our batsmen.

 

[down4whatever]

Yuvraj with 2 sixes against rehman !

 

[ajk88]

there goes Rehman's pretty figures

 

[Hash]

bad umpiring decision is costing us....Yuvraj was plumb lbw...should have been out

 

[MarathaPride]

Now Dhoni smashes a SIX!!!!!

 

[Matic]

MS Dhoni joins the hit parade! SIX straight over the sightscreen!

 

[the true passionist]

The left hander is so helpful in the middle order...i bet Dhoni wont even try such shots against rehman.

 

[iZeeshan]

India putting on the gears! Another six! Trouble following...

 

[down4whatever]

now Dhoni with a six. Malik has lost the plot.

 

[12thMan]

Now Dhoni with a six over bowlers head

 

[the true passionist]

Bring in Umar Gul quick!

 

[Matic]

Bring in Shahid Afridi now, he has far more options while batsmen are looking to hit, he can make them commit to mistakes with wrong'uns, slower ones, flighted deliveries etc

 

[slix10]

Yuvraj beta araam se raho verna pavillion ka samna karo.

 

[down4whatever]

All of a sudden, 300 is on again. And Malik bowling wides again.

 

[Matic]

Oh my- massive, massive SIX! Onto the tents

 

[iZeeshan]

Even I am enjoying this! Wonderful hit for six!

 

[MarathaPride]

Dhoni with another one!!! On the tent..amazing.

 

[Matic]

The ball is still up there, looking to get it down.

 

[ajk88]

assault continues... 300+

 

[down4whatever]

Another six. Are you kidding me?

 

[12thMan]

This one was huge by Dhoni, on top of tent. This is enough
28 runs from last two overs (still one ball left)

 

[Matic]

Just 5 deliveries after the 34th over new ball, they look to get another

 

[MarathaPride]

assault continues... 300+

that is if the partnership lasts...which is always unpredictable.

 

[Matic]

16 off the over. India shifting gears.

 

[iZeeshan]

these two overs have been huge!

Bring in Afridi and Gul now, I say.

 

[the true passionist]

well after 35 overs India 171/3

With wickets in hand expect at least another 115 in last 15 overs.

 

[Matic]

Shoaib Akhtar back in

 

[Matic]

Smashed through the covers for 4!

 

[MarathaPride]

Four against Akhtar..Go Dhoni Go!!!!!

 

[Saqib]

First 3 wickets in High Definition...super quality...

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?p=1283692#post1283692

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib in...bad move IMO, Gul would have been better

 

[down4whatever]

Malik should never have gone 6 overs.

 

[ajk88]

Shoaib Akhtar back in

wow... gutsy move

 

[12thMan]

Please bring Waqar back. Aamir Sohail sounds worse than Zaheer. Atleast there were phrases of Zaheer we could make fun of

 

[Matic]

That last delivery from Shoaib looked like it reversed a bit..

 

[down4whatever]

Now Akhtar getting hit. This wicket is definitely a batting paradise...

..either that or we're in for a loooong game.

 

[Matic]

Please bring Waqar back. Aamir Sohail sounds worse than Zaheer. Atleast there were phrases of Zaheer we could make fun of

Where is LAXMAN SIVARAMAKRISHNA

 

[Caved12]

Dhone was clueless on the fourth ball, the slower one, lol

 

[12thMan]

Where is LAXMAN SIVARAMAKRISHNA

playing "pat a cake" with Arun or Rameez
