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

[12thMan]

Akmal Zindabad

 

[iZeeshan]

I think this really tells us something about Akmal. I don't know how we can epitomize it, but its something. Its obviously NOT his skill. He is able to take blinders. Its psychological, and it can be fixed.

 

[Hash]

Tond gone after a blinding catch by Akmal.

Gangu was plumb lbw the ball before but a bit of cheating from the Indian umpire saved him.

 

[Matic]

India 68-1 / 10.4

Gautam Gambhir in.

That Akmal catch looks better on replay/

 

[Saqib]

The last appeal of ganguly:









Poor Kamran Akmal does not look happy when he took the catch...does feel the last drop one.

 

[W63L35]

And I've lost all respect for Ganguly! What a sneaky ******* he is - showing the ump the bat when he's plumb. Wow

...nothing new. He has done that through out his career!

 

[Plasma]

i think i have a curse... when ever something good happens, my stream shuts off...

 

[Matic]

Younis Khan in as 1st slip with Gambhir in.

Shoaib to come back against Gambhir?

 

[ajk88]

Akmal is pretty reliable when diving right, he has trouble on the left.

 

[W63L35]

Sanity...

Last 5 ovs 23/1 RR 4.60

 

[Bailan]

Was a good catch

Hopefully akmal can take some better catches and redeem himself

 

[Matic]

The last appeal of ganguly:







Poor Kamran Akmal does not look happy when he took the catch...does feel the last drop one.

Saqib, what supercomputer do you have?! Cheers to you.

 

[Hash]

...nothing new. He has done that through out his career!

Ganguly refuses to walk when he gets bowled so its no surprise he cheats/lies to the umpire about snicking it when he is PLUMB lbw. And also no surprise that the Indian umpire falls for it.

 

[W63L35]

Akmal is pretty reliable when diving right, he has trouble on the left.

With two lefties on the crease, we are in trouble then!

 

[Matic]

Gul bouncer too high, Akmal full of confidence takes it nicely, given a wide though. Take Gul out already!

 

[iZeeshan]

That was BS! How was that wide?

 

[Saqib]

Real wide one:

 

[down4whatever]

nothin like letting a rattled up bowler bowl another over to give all the momentum back to the other team. Sit Gul down.

 

[Desi]

Ganguly refuses to walk when he gets bowled so its no surprise he cheats/lies to the umpire about snicking it when he is PLUMB lbw. And also no surprise that the Indian umpire falls for it.

heh, i do the same thing when i play with my club ><

 

[12thMan]

That was no wide.

 

[Lightning]

I'll say this again - Tanvir is a serious, serious talent. He has really developed the inswinger now to the right hander. Moving it both ways and he's still very young.

 

[Matic]

Ganguly refuses to walk when he gets bowled so its no surprise he cheats/lies to the umpire about snicking it when he is PLUMB lbw. And also no surprise that the Indian umpire falls for it.

I loved Ganguly's stay at the crease when Pakistan toured India in 2005 after he was clean bowled by a ripper from Afridi in the 3rd Test.. he thought he was stumped and said he was in the crease

 

[Saqib]

The last 4 of ganguly

 

[W63L35]

Ganguly refuses to walk when he gets bowled so its no surprise he cheats/lies to the umpire about snicking it when he is PLUMB lbw. And also no surprise that the Indian umpire falls for it.

Hash, welcome back! How was Mansehra? Did you get to watch 2nd ODI?

 

[Matic]

Shoaib Malik had enough, he walks over to the pavilion and tells someone to keep the area clear.

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib should come back for 2 overs, IMO.

 

[Hash]

Hash, welcome back! How was Mansehra? Did you get to watch 2nd ODI?

beautiful......especially the Siran Valley abotu an hour and a half north of Mansehra. I saw every ball from about 2 mins before Butt got out, so most of our innings! Were 8 of us packed into the hotel room so was a great atmosphere! Almost like being there!

 

[Matic]

Indian ground officials need to stop watching the cricket and watch the individuals walking about.

 

[Saqib]

Big problem with the side screen:

 

[Saqib]

Poor Sohaib Malik he will mis out the next match if the over rate is not good.

 

[Matic]

India 75-1 after 12 overs.

Keeping them under 300 is going to be difficult.

 

[down4whatever]

Bravo Gul. 6 overs 0/48.

 

[PakFan1983]

Okay anyone watching with streams? cause mine suddenly stopped working..

 

[Saqib]

Shoaib Akhtar is back on the field:

 

[ajk88]

Shoaib should come back for 2 overs, IMO.

he's not even in the field

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

whats wrong with this pitch...looks like a day 5 pitch

 

[W63L35]

Poor Sohaib Malik he will mis out the next match if the over rate is not good.

Good! Fawad may get to play after all!

 

[12thMan]

Learn the art of emphasizing every other word

 

[Hash]

Big problem with the side screen:

what is a side screen?

 

[Saqib]

 

[Usman]

Okay anyone watching with streams? cause mine suddenly stopped working..

same here, oh well, i think i'll be off to bed if this doesnt start working again soon!

 

[Matic]

Drinks break.

 

[ajk88]

it'll be interesting to see how they handle our spinners

 

[12thMan]

overrate will be okay as team has only 3 pacers. they just need to hurry up between overs

 

[down4whatever]

the overrate is suffering. Malik needs to bring in the spinners to eat up some overs.

 

[W63L35]

Sohail Tanvir   3.0  0  8  1  2.66

Very good bowling by Sohail!

 

[Saqib]

 

[Matic]

Wow, Gul to continue. Around the wicket this time.

 

[ajk88]

Sohail Tanvir   3.0  0  8  1  	2.66

Very good bowling by Sohail!

 

[Shah]

what is a side screen?

It is the entrance to the latrine.

 

[ajk88]

RR below 6

 

[Bailan]

runrate under 6?

 

[W63L35]

Bowled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Things have calmed down interms of RR, even match right now.

 

[Matic]

BOWLED HIM. Tanvir you little beauty!

 

[Lightning]

Tanvir! You Ripper

 

[12thMan]

Change Gul. He has to bowl at death. Might as well give an over to YK if spinner cannot bowl now

 

[iZeeshan]

NVM! GONE! BOWLED! Sohail doing brilliantly!

 

[Bailan]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohail Boy !!!

 

[Saqib]

GONE GANGULY

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

cheater out now...good job

 

[12thMan]

Tanno you beauty

 

[ajk88]

Ganguly's Lucky Inning Comes To An End

 

[Hash]

I am surprised Ganguly walked for that the cheating *******

 

[Lightning]

Love it. Let Ganguly, the lying son of a *****, head back. Well bowled Tanvir!

 

[slix10]

It's game on now.

 

[Matic]

Good start by India, Pakistan strike back via Sohail Tanvir!

Yuvraj Singh in.

 

[W63L35]

it'll be interesting to see how they handle our spinners

Better question is.....how WE will handle their spinners....because ALL the experts said that pitch will take spin in 2nd innings!

 

[Unleash]

haha sohail is doing awesome, SELECTORS need to bring more fresh blood and so we can have more of this.

 

[iZeeshan]

Change Gul. He has to bowl at death. Might as well give an over to YK if spinner cannot bowl now

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

 

[Plasma]

Bowled!!

 

[ajk88]

Last 5 ovs 17/2 RR 3.40

 

[Matic]

Congratulations on Sohail Tanvir's first cartwheeling stump.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

A lovely four by Yuvi

 

[ajk88]

Better question is.....how WE will handle their spinners....because ALL the experts said that pitch will take spin in 2nd innings!

Hopefully Yousuf will be at his best.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

could anyone make out what Afridi was saying to Youvraj?

 

[Plasma]

stump out the ground! ganguly walks back to the pavilion for 39. Well bowled Tanvir!

 

[W63L35]

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

Malik heard you!! Shoaib is stretching!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Ind 88/2 after 15 overs.

 

[inzidabest]

folks though AKmal took the catch, It wasnt the best of wicket keeper catches. Imagine how Latif or Moin would have taken the catch. Both would have stretched and dived to the right off both the legs..like a dive into a pool....perfect way of doing it.

What Akmal did was stretching on one leg ..something which a fielder would do and not a keeper...anyone noticed this?
This guy needs to work on his keeping !!
