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

[slix10]

Malik speaking to Tanvir - maybe sending him next
92 from 56 balls

I would prefer Akmal.

 

[Saj]

better running, out the fielder under pressure - 2 runs

 

[Saqib]

 

[iZeeshan]

Singles and doubles keep coming. We need boundaries now.

 

[CricketBuff]

Misbah has to go for the big shots, Butt to anchor !!!

 

[filosofee]

Masha-Allah Salman Butt. Pak batsmen out-centurifying India's' stars.

 

[Ralync]

i fell asleep for 90 minutes and now this.

and to make things worse Pathan just bowled at 142kmh

 

[Saqib]

Can Pakistan pull out a victory here...it will be even better match than the last match!!!

 

[Saj]

85 needed from 50 balls.

Need a boundary very soon and right on cue....MUH

 

[CricketBuff]

Need one boundary per over now.

 

[Saj]

MUH out.

Bowled by Kartik

 

[iZeeshan]

The much needed boundary. Efforless one from Misbah to midwicket. MORE!

 

[kablooee87]

misbah goes!!!


It was looking so good!

 

[MarathaPride]

Gone!!!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Crap. Misbah trying to be too cheeky. I think with him goes the game.

 

[Saqib]

O great...

 

[Ralync]

and no afridi :6

 

[Salman]

Misbah Out!

 

[MarathaPride]

Tanvir and Akmal to still come..the game can go either way..Pak has 5 wickets..and Indian bowling has to be tight.

 

[the true passionist]

81 off 48

can't really blame Misbah..He has batted well and had to be innovative.

 

[CricketBuff]

Who is coming in, Tanwir or Akmal

 

[kablooee87]

Kamran Akmal's chance to save his career.


...but he has to face spinners.

 

[Amir]

Just when Misbah looks sensible, looks cool and collected....he always has to play some sort of stupid shot. I thought he began to look calm and good but once again has collapsed.

 

[slix10]

Aw NOT MISBAH.

He was doing well

 

[iZeeshan]

Can Akmal be magical?

 

[the true passionist]

Can Akmal play a gem of an innings?

 

[UJ]

Butt pretty much has to bat through now...tough ask he must be extremely tired.

 

[kablooee87]

Salman goes for the 6...doesn't get it.

Basically he can't hit 6s.

 

[Saqib]

Kamran Akmal is in..



This is the wicket of Mishbah

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt tries to go for a huge one, skies it, safe for 2.

 

[Saj]

2x2 to SB

77 from 45 balls

 

[Salman]

Is butt looking tired?

 

[the true passionist]

Butt is not really the slogger!

 

[Saj]

great shot by SB.

4 over point.

 

[kablooee87]

Salman on the charge!

Keep going boy!

 

[iZeeshan]

Good fielding.

I don't blame Salman. He's tired, has held the innings together, and can't hit. Most specialist openers can't hit out.

 

[MarathaPride]

damn...salman is getting his shots right

 

[iZeeshan]

4! Butt rollin'

 

[Saj]

Is butt looking tired?

he seems ok Salman.

72 needed from 7 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

All his 4 100s coming gainst India )

 

[Saqib]

 

[the true passionist]

72 off 42

Butt needs to bat to the end. He is being too sluggish for my liking.

 

[iZeeshan]

9 off the over. Butto keeps strike.

Kamran has to do that 666 magic he did once against the Windies.

 

[Saqib]

Pathan finsh his 10th over

 

[Saj]

71 needed from 40 balls

Akmal to face

 

[Underworld57]

freaking sopcast!

 

[Saj]

KA off the mark first ball with 2 runs

 

[iZeeshan]

Good half pull from Kami for 2.

 

[Saj]

KA - stupid, stupid cricket. Straight down mid ons throat.

 

[kablooee87]

Kamran Akmal needs to be cut. He doesn't look like he cares.

 

[slix10]

We need a big one guys. A big 15-20 over to compensate for the RRR.

 

[iZeeshan]

DammiT! DAMMIT!

 

[MarathaPride]

Gone!!!!

 

[Awesome Anjum]

Typical Kamran.

Kick him OUT

 

[Underworld57]

mufta keeps buffering

 

[iZeeshan]

Why is he so stupid? WHY? Akhtar is better then that!

 

[the true passionist]

well now it should be over for PAK

 

[Underworld57]

do we still have a chance?

 

[iafzal]

Kamran batting even now can't save him but he will be presisted

 

[slix10]

Oh well Tanveer's in- the only hope for Pakistan

 

[Joseph K.]

Why is this guy (KA) still in team, why, oh why?

 

[Saj]

runout. No idea who is out. Major mixup.

Comedy cricket

 

[pak4life]

send him home asap!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ralync]

tanvir the 'batting all-rounder' please

 

[MarathaPride]

run out...goody good good.

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh man. How can this happen!? How can it end with a stupid run out.

 

[Saj]

I think he was runout at both ends.

 

[iZeeshan]

Godammit! HOW STUPID! HOW STUPID.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

well is he playing from india for pakistan
i think cuz he has done a lot of good for them in this match for us........
still wondering kami is in pak team or in team india

 

[Amir]

Pakistan cricket at its best: comedy! From getting a flying start...turning it into nothing and somehow finding yourself needing 60 off 30 odd!

 

[filosofee]

Seventh wicket down, oh boy. I'm off.

 

[slix10]

Might as well swing the bat here- not much to lose anymore.

 

[Faisalabad]

Now Butt just need to be at strike and maybe give Akhtar few hits. Otherwise its over. 3 wickets in 3 overs and you are out of the game. A typical Pakistani cricket.

 

[iZeeshan]

I mean it would have been nice if we lost need like 20 from the last ball, but this is just plain stupid.

 

[iZeeshan]

Why wasn't Actor sent it? WTH!

 

[UJ]

If only Kaneria was in the side, we could have done with his lower order hitting

 

[slix10]

Hahaha Malik has lost it. Rehman?!

 

[CricketBuff]

I thought we already had the obligatory runout out of the way with MoYo. Now this gift to India. Is it the Diwali gift from the Pak team. As soon as Malik announced captain for one more year the wanna-be captains MoYo, Afridi and YK started not performing !!!!

 

[Bailan]

This is where you neeeded afridi

whoever made that decision should be spanked pakistan police style

 

[MarathaPride]

man..its 6:05 am here in NY...thankfully dont have any hw to do
