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

[Saqib]

Indina bowling options...

 

[kablooee87]

Dhoni going for the kill. Tendulkar on.

 

[Salman]

Presently, I am in Albany..but the place where I plan to work is in midtown Manhattan...so will prbly be shifting to Queens/Long Island sometime soon.

Errrr..btw..its MarathaPride..

Haha, I live in London but Moving to NY in Jan to start a new job in Mid Manhattan...

 

[F16]

There is turn and bounce on offer for the spinners and Indians are having a stranglehold on the batsmen. Pakistan need to find a way to slip out of the noose.

 

[dinakar]

here come the lottery!!!!! Sachin to bowl..

 

[Saqib]

The indians hitted sixes the pakistani's didn't realy tried it.

Another boundry!!!!

 

[Saj]

Time for Misbah to kick on now.

125 neeed from 82 balls.

 

[MarathaPride]

now the contest begins...if we get salman...then India is in the reckoning..if not...Pakistan takes it.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Am not too sure abt Sachin bowling....he does give 2 or more hit me balls

 

[iZeeshan]

Despite having the right-left advantage the whole inngs, we haven't capitilzied.

 

[kablooee87]

Props to these two. They are definitely giving it a go.

 

[slix10]

We need 6's- atleast 4 of them. And a hell of a lot of 4's.

 

[Saj]

4 runs to SB. Thin edge down to fine leg

 

[MarathaPride]

craps..tend is getting milked here..

 

[iZeeshan]

Wonderful sweep for 4! One more, bring it!

 

[Saj]

square cut by SB 2 more.

 

[kablooee87]

11 off the over.

 

[Swaraj!!]

DHoni shd have brought back Kartik instead of Sachin

 

[Saj]

a single through mid wicket for and then 2 more to Misbah.

Finally more urgency shown in that last over

 

[the true passionist]

116 off 78 bowls.

Need a boundary a over without being reckless, just like they are doing it.

 

[Saqib]

I hope Salman gets his hunderd quickly as possibel because we need all the balls!!!!

They must try to hit every over a boundry along the ground don't take to much of a risk.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

thnx guys for the updates........
u all r gr88888........

 

[kablooee87]

*Cautious optimism seaping in*

 

[iZeeshan]

Huge asking rate, yet the singles flow.

 

[Swaraj!!]

India really needs another wicket NOW

 

[iZeeshan]

We can't be getting more then 95 in the last 10!

 

[dinakar]

DHoni shd have brought back Kartik instead of Sachin

it was a test.. and this could be the best time.

 

[kablooee87]

Good running. 2 taken.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Get in the quicker bowlers are get them to bowl at the stumps....low, fast and no short ones please

 

[MarathaPride]

cricinfo is seriously off today...yuvraj singh is NOT bowling...its kartik..

 

[Saqib]

 

[kablooee87]

7 off the over.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

well i think the game is over .......... cuz v dont have lower order hitter to follow........
but a good fight put up by salman n misbah.......
wining or loosing is part of game ........
but v should go down battling hard.......

 

[Saqib]

The other match...well New Zealand still made a fight out of it.

 

[the true passionist]

110 in 72 balls required.

Missed the boundary this over.

 

[Saj]

110 from 72 balls doesnt seem that bad with Afridi in the dressing room, but with him already out it makes the situation not so good.

Misbah to lead us home I think

 

[slix10]

It's such a small ground.. go for the 6's.

We need 6's!!!

 

[Rob H]

Great shot by Misbah gliding it to wide 3rd man for 4

 

[Saj]

4 runs. More lousy fielding from the Indians.

Cut to point boundary by MUH

 

[iafzal]

a good over of 15 run is needed that can put us back in there. Keeping wkts needless to say is key

 

[iZeeshan]

We need sixes and fours, and then some sixes. But credit to these two for not panicking.

 

[MarathaPride]

four india needs a wicket now.

 

[MarathaPride]

ohhhhhhh almost had him

 

[Saj]

It's such a small ground.. go for the 6's.

We need 6's!!!

not yet. 4s and singles will suffice.

103 from 67 balls

 

[iZeeshan]

I think Pakistan likes chasing 100 runs in the last 10 overs...

 

[Legendary_Sage]

misbah seem to be getting in to his T20 touch.....
i think he loves T20 situations.......

 

[Saj]

SB misses out there. Leg side delivery

103 needed from 11 overs

 

[the true passionist]

103 required off 66

hitting is definitely hard in the conditions

 

[iafzal]

only 6 off last over so need 15 or so in next now.

 

[filosofee]

Tanvir, 2 for 26 in 10 overs? Nice effort. Come on Pakistan!

 

[Salman]

Misbah is a real find for Pak, took Malik and YK years to get to this level.

 

[iZeeshan]

Am I the only one who is wondering what is up with all the singles?

 

[Saj]

Thats the boundary from each over thats needed.

lovely sweep by SB - moves onto 99

 

[Caved12]

it is all happening again, yes

 

[iZeeshan]

4! Butt on 99.

 

[kablooee87]

Butts get the boundary for the over.

On 99....

gonna have to wait.

 

[Saqib]

FOUR

 

[Saj]

96 needed from the last 10 overs

 

[iafzal]

hope SB gets his 100 quickly so he can have full go at it otherwise I feel he will be slowing things down a little

 

[iZeeshan]

And Butt saab will have to wait.

 

[kablooee87]

96 runs in the last 10 overs.

I believe in you boys.

 

[the true passionist]

96 off 60 balls

almost 10 an over.

 

[saaretjie]

Misbah is a real find for Pak, took Malik and YK years to get to this level.

He's had a lot of time to hone his skills on the domestic circuit

 

[kablooee87]

Dropped!!!!!

Make.it.count.

 

[Salman]

Butts on 99...

 

[Saj]

MUH has been dropped at deep fine leg by RP Singh

 

[iZeeshan]

My heart stopped for 2 seconds! Whoof!

 

[kablooee87]

100!!!


You are bigger than that now though. Your job is not done.

 

[Saj]

Thats SB's century. Lovely innings.

4th ODI hundred all against India.

 

[MarathaPride]

yet another dropped catch

 

[Saqib]

Drop chance

 

[Saj]

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

 

[iZeeshan]

100 for Butt! Wonderful! Incredible innings! If only we could get the win.

 

[Salman]

Butts 2nd 100 against indian, this time without the butt cramps... Weldone!!!!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

We need a big over of at least 14.

 

[Saqib]

BUT 100

 

[the true passionist]

90 of 54

equation getting harder but more importantly they are both there

 

[Saj]

No boundary from that over

90 needed from 9 overs

 

[CricketBuff]

Will lightening strike twice ? !!!!!!

 

[Amir]

90 off 9 needed. Someone needs to hit and I imagine it has to be Misbah because Butt is probaly helluva tired.
