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

[kablooee87]

Dare I say - Moyo in - to consolidate for 20 overs?

I REALLY hope so.

 

[desidudecool]

cant believe people are bashing younis ..give him a break he scored a century in the last game lol

 

[Bailan]

Thats a very big wicket.

Not really, he averages 30~

a big wicket is the one that averages in the 40 territory ...

anyone asking why did he leave that ... its called "lapse in concentration"

 

[Bouncer]

any live feed???

 

[Caved12]

It is either YK or Moyo to save the game for us, now that Yk is gone, It is upto Moyo now, I hope he plays just like he always does.

 

[ajk88]

Yousuf needs to stay there, i dont care if he plays slow. He has to stay there.

Scoring should be easier of the spinners.

Yep. Let Butt play his shots while he plays anchor.

 

[stevewittry]

Come on Butt ... Come on Younis Khan

 

[Saqib]

 

[ajk88]

cant believe people are bashing younis ..give him a break he scored a century in the last game lol

no one was bashing him

 

[iZeeshan]

Not really, he averages 30~

a big wicket is the one that averages in the 40 territory ...

anyone asking why did he leave that ... its called "lapse in concentration"

Considering that he hit a more then a run a ball 117 to win Pakistan a chase of 321 means he is a big wicket.

 

[kablooee87]

2 runs in 2 overs plus a wicket (might as well have been 2 because it was Younis).

 

[Bailan]

why is butt getting cautious all of a sudden?

 

[Saqib]

Pakistan are just ahead in the run chase



The second powerplay

 

[iZeeshan]

Yousuf is very good with the spinners, so we need him to see thru Bhajji and Murali.

Does anyone think that Butt should be scoring a bit faster against the pacers, since he can't play spinnerS?

 

[kablooee87]

Shot of the MOTHER ****ing day from MoYo.

I could watch that all day.

Why I watch cricket.

 

[Caved12]

class, that's all I have to say for Moyo's shot

 

[Lightning]

Carpet drive from Yousuf for 4.

76-2

 

[Bailan]

butt will throw his wicket away because yousaf's slow start ...

He would have to mentor Butt through this.

FOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from yousaf

 

[ajk88]

off the mark with 4

 

[Caved12]

Shot of the MOTHER ****ing day from MoYo.

I could watch that all day.

Why I watch cricket.

Ditto

 

[iZeeshan]

Can't see why Sree isn't playing. He is a very good bowler.

 

[Saqib]

Mohammed Yousuf class drive for FOUR

 

[the true passionist]

Pak 72/2 in 10 overs.

The required rate is not monumental...Pakistan only needs to bat through the 50 overs with one of the top 5 batsmen at crease to win this game.

 

[Lightning]

Very early Yousuf looking back in his usual flow.

 

[Caved12]

that record explains only one thing, "hall of famer"

 

[Bailan]

77/2

10.5 overs

 

[Ahmad]

What a Butt...!! 4..

 

[Caved12]

Butt made that shot look soooooooooo easy.

 

[ajk88]

butt hits another 4

 

[iZeeshan]

Brilliant guide thru third man for 4 by Sallu

 

[kablooee87]

I was just explaining to my brother how Butt doesn't play the ball late like Younis/Yousuf/Inzi so he can't do those guides down the third man.


Next ball he guided it down to 3rd man for 4.

 

[Bailan]

Just Brilliant stuff from Butt

81/2 11 Overs

But on 42

 

[Saqib]

Mohammed Yousuf how he get's out.

 

[Lightning]

Butt playing a vice-captain's knock after umm... being stripped of it.

 

[Saqib]

Salman But looking very good today...just look at this defence.

 

[Bailan]

Butt playing a vice-captain's knock after umm... being stripped of it.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam ... didn't get anyone to say that ) )

 

[iZeeshan]

Really hope Butt can get a 100 today.

 

[Saqib]

Field set for Salman But...very diffucult to get away.

 

[Sparhawk]

Looking at salman butt against india i have to wonder why we have such an opener dilemma. Why cant he play half as well against other teams?

 

[kablooee87]

Been a treat watching (most) of the batting so far.

 

[Bailan]

butt still got a single

so ... not any shakles for him yet ...


Comon butt ... give us a reason to believe that youa re good enough



Random Fact

Saeed Anwar's highest for first 31 games was 31* (never mind that was the average ... of <30, sorry for the wrong random fact.)

may be we should show as much confidence in our openers as say ... our keeper

 

[Caved12]

It seems as it is only our bowlers in the world of cricket who bowl "no balls", seems as the free hit rule is made against us,lol

 

[kablooee87]

Pathan comes back.

He went for 10 an over to start with. But he only bowled first to get rid of Afridi.

 

[Bailan]

I think Rameez just advocated child abuse?

 

[kablooee87]

Indian's have given away a good 10-15 runs in the field so far.

 

[iZeeshan]

43/37 for Butt, unbelievable stuff

 

[Saqib]

Say cheese..

 

[Lightning]

Bacha pathan back into attack.

Starts with a quick 111 ks ripper which is misfielded by Sachin...hehe

 

[iZeeshan]

Pathan comes back.

He went for 10 an over to start with. But he only bowled first to get rid of Afridi.

And Afridi was stupid enough to fall for it!

 

[Saqib]

I have to say...for the first time Pakistan has made good use of the powerplay's!!!!

I hope we keep playing like this rotating the strike.

 

[Sparhawk]

Indian fielders have holes in their hands.

 

[Ahmad]

Arun Lal on... and starts of with saying that the wicket has definitely eased in the second innings, plus the fact that the ground is un even and which is why the indians are having problems in the field... GO TO HELL ARUN

 

[Saqib]

Pakistani wagon weel..

 

[Lightning]

Camera pans to Sreesanth who blows kisses and then does th booty dance!

Just kidding - about the second part.

 

[Bailan]

arun whining ...


other than that ... why are we under 7RPO


bring it back to 9 ......... comon butt ... get your hundred in 65 balls

 

[Saqib]

 

[Oxy]

Arun Lal should get some mention in the Guiness Book of World Records for talking the most shyte since records began!

 

[Caved12]

lol

 

[kablooee87]

Tendulkar just ran straight across the danger area. Nobody even mentioned it.

 

[Saqib]

Salman But changes his pads



Pakistan run chase....

 

[Oxy]

Camera pans to Sreesanth who blows kisses and then does th booty dance!

.

Perhaps he's hoping some young lass in the crowd will hold up a 'I love Sreesanth' poster (like with Zaheer 2 years ago?)

 

[Oxy]

Can Tendulkar scuff up the pitch like this? He's all over it!

 

[kablooee87]

Ah he did it again! Sachin digging up the pitch nicely.

 

[Saqib]

Arun Lal should get some mention in the Guiness Book of World Records for talking the most shyte since records began!

OMG ) )

he does talk shyte...hahaha

 

[kablooee87]

14 runs in the last 5 overs.

Stay calm gentleman, play through it.

 

[Bailan]

Butt will play a rash shot and get out in a matter of minutes ....

 

[iZeeshan]

That's it, keep calm. Don't lose wickets, its the key. Works everytime, though I am a bit late to realize that.

 

[kablooee87]

Magnificant guide for 4.

 

[Oxy]

Any idiotic & immature 'mullah' type references etc etc - and we'll simply stop you posting in this thread.

There are plenty of ways to get your point across with resorting to that level.

Thank

 

[Ahmad]

Brilliantly timed by MoYo..! down to point... 4

 

[Saj]

that last shot by MY was sheer class. Pure elegance

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt will play a rash shot and get out in a matter of minutes ....

Shut up!

What a beauty stroke from Yousuf for 4! Looks so pretty!

Glad to see that warning. There should be zero tolerance for such comments.

ok

 

[Saqib]

JUST CLASS

 

[Sparhawk]

That was special yousuf... Good length on offstump, guided in the gap between point and 3rd man. Not many batsmen can play that shot.

 

[Saj]

I'd like to see both these batsmen looking for more singles. They are looking for too many big shots.

 

[Hari Sombar]

Pathan bowls at 139.8 k's, nearly touching 140 !

 

[Lightning]

Shan, Shut the eff up.

 

[Bailan]

indians resorting to whinny tactics


but hey ... whatever works
