India v Pakistan | 5th ODI | Jaipur | 18/11/07 | Ind Innings

[iZeeshan]

Well, 307 to chase for India.

Pakistan without Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi.

What will happen?

 

[Shahid A]

im saying India win easily we cant win it with our bowlers we needed Akhtar to take early wickets and we aint got him.

 

[Crucifier]

India win by 7 wickets, with 5 overs to spare. Watch Tendulkar come out blazing now with no Shoaib.

 

[kablooee87]

20 overs needed from Malik and Fawad with a wet ball. How that period goes will decide the match.

 

[jackal786]

India will miss Afridi for sure

 

[Bailan]

306 does not sound good enough ... to be honest

 

[jackal786]

Odds are heavily stacked against Pakistan. So i expect them to play with more intensity. India will take it easy and might screw up the match in the process. They play like professionals. But not like Aussie professionals. Often complacency gets the better of them.

 

[kablooee87]

What a ball to start with.

Great lift.

 

[W63L35]

No 6th bowler......
Malik and Fawad to bowl 20 overs....

India does have a chance!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Gambhir surivives a run-out scare...

 

[Pak_cricketer]

No 6th bowler......
Malik and Fawad to bowl 20 overs....

India does have a chance!

Thats the first thing I noticed when I saw our line-up..

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Gul seems to be bowling really quick, but no speed readings yet

 

[W63L35]

Shiva comments on the "energy level" in Pak team!

 

[saaretjie]

Pakistan to win by 50+ runs...

It's amazing, we're the only team that doesn't feel confident after scoring 300 runs.

Have some faith in your team, people!

 

[kablooee87]

3/0 after 1.0 overs

Good start.

 

[iZeeshan]

Good start so far from Pakistan.

 

[kablooee87]

ooohh.

Batsman's leave. But that was close.

 

[Easa]

Cut behind square by Gambhir, half volley outside off stump, rightly punished for 4.

 

[iZeeshan]

Bad delievery, cut away for 4.

 

[kablooee87]

Good energy in the field so far.

Lots of chatter too!

 

[Easa]

Pakistan looking sharp out there, I know its only been 2 overs BUT you can feel a general uplift in our players.

Runs on the board can do that. 8/0 after 2 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wide from Sohail.

 

[kablooee87]

8/0 after 2.0 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan looking sharp out there, I know its only been 2 overs BUT you can feel a general uplift in our players.

Runs on the board can do that. 8/0 after 2 overs.

Yes but you can't help but think that why does it come now? Why not 3 ODIs ago?

 

[kablooee87]

Dhoni said in the toss that if India can get through the first 15 overs unscathed, the dew should guide them the rest of the way. Although it's hard to predict what will happen, I tend to agree.

 

[kablooee87]

Half chance dropped.

Gul with a beauty of a bouncer. First slip got a finger tip to it.

 

[Easa]

That was a quality bouncer by Gul, short and quick right at the throat. THIS is what we want to see Pakistan!

 

[Easa]

And another quick bouncer to Tendulkar, he's bowling quickly again.

 

[Oxy]

Snorter from Gul - tough chance put down at slip.

Folows up witha nother beauty!

Keeper looks Ok so ar

 

[kablooee87]

Lagay raho Gul. It will come.

 

[Easa]

Pitches on off stump just back off a length and moves away, Tendulkar completely beaten!

 

[iZeeshan]

Another great bouncer from Gul

 

[iZeeshan]

Snorter from Gul - tough chance put down at slip.

Folows up witha nother beauty!

Keeper looks Ok so ar

Did you see the sorta-overthrow he fielded. Looked great!

 

[Hari Sombar]

Another edge that falls short

 

[kablooee87]

The extra bit of pace seems to be troubling both the batsman. But all they have to do is negotiate these over. Pakistan's back up bowling is weak and India's batting line up is long.

Sohail strays down leg. Gambhir has no trouble. 4.

 

[iZeeshan]

Both teams lucky with catches today.

 

[Easa]

Gambhir flicks it over square leg but it was a poor ball, come on Tanvir, get your radar right..

14/0

 

[kablooee87]

No slips for Sohail.

Not surprising that he's bowling legsidish.

 

[kablooee87]

ooooh. Ball bounces over the stumps. On another day...

 

[iZeeshan]

Tanvir! Get it right! Not a lot of bowlers to play with...

 

[kablooee87]

GIVEN.

Nips one in this time. Gambhir gone!

 

[Easa]

OUT! Tanvir strikes, that was PLUMB!

Gambir departs!

 

[kashmiri]

i am waiting to see dhoni play today

 

[TalhaSyed]

15/1 Gambhir out for 12 LBW Tanvir

 

[iZeeshan]

Tanvir gets a wicket! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETNESS!

 

[Oxy]

MAn - I even like the way Sarfarz Ahmand appeals!!!

GAmbhir Gaun

 

[W63L35]

Tanvir! Get it right! Not a lot of bowlers to play with...

He did!! Got Gotham!

 

[Plasma]

Out!!!!!!!!

 

[the_game]

MAn - I even like the way Sarfarz Ahmand appeals!!!

GAmbhir Gaun

Yeah, he appealed his lungs out! Good stuff.

 

[kashmiri]

He did!! Got Gotham!

the good times are back

 

[kablooee87]

beauty first up to Boy Wonder.

 

[Easa]

And an absolute beauty to Uthappa first ball, come on Tanvir!

15/1 (4)

 

[kashmiri]

how is sarfraz keeping?

 

[Saj]

nice to see the PakPassion advert on ARY again

 

[W63L35]

I am very impressed by Sarfraz..........he looks extremely confident!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Lots of energy being displayed by Pak, shame its 4 matches too late.

 

[kashmiri]

pak pace attack
tanvir
asif
umar gul
rao
akhtar

 

[kashmiri]

Lots of energy being displayed by Pak, shame its 4 matches too late.

we did win of those matches though

 

[Monsee]

MAn - I even like the way Sarfarz Ahmand appeals!!!

GAmbhir Gaun

Wait till he starts giving nicknames to fileders

In Punjabi and they are not really nicknames for most...Gambhir and Afridi did that in the 3rd ODI

 

[kashmiri]

I am very impressed by Sarfraz..........he looks extremely confident!

end of akmal?

 

[kablooee87]

sarfraz looks like such a little kid!

Almost like he's too young to realize there's pressure.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

147.7 km/h by Gul, deserves to get the medium tag dropped

 

[kablooee87]

Tendulkar rocks back a smashes through cover.

There wasn't that much width, he created it.

 

[kashmiri]

*SR Tendulkar (rhb) 5 11 0 0 45.00
now that is what i call a stats guru

 

[W63L35]

Cricinfo comments on Gambhir wicket:

Sohail Tanvir to Gambhir, OUT, Got him! very full, on the off, coming in with the arm, Gambir falls over his stumps and is late on the ball, beaten by the pace and the movement. He misses. The ball crashes into pad and the Pakistanis go up in appeal as one. There's little doubt about that and Suresh Shastri gives the decision in the bowler's favour.

 

[iZeeshan]

the good times are back

Is that like the 14th time you have said that?

 

[kashmiri]

Cricinfo comments on Gambhir wicket:

yeah, i did not understand those comments, in bowlers favour, wha tis that supposed to mean

 

[Oxy]

I could watch that Sachin square drive all day - what a shot

 

[Easa]

Majestic shot through covers by Tendulkar.

 

[Caved12]

Hi guys,
Sarfaraz looks good out there. Pakistan will win for sure. Yousuf(the great) and Malik were rock solid. Fawad was terrific- what a find.

 

[kablooee87]

Tendulkar looks like he's feeling it. Keen to see how our bowlers respond.

 

[kashmiri]

Is that like the 14th time you have said that?

i know bro. i am just hoping the optimism translates into reality.

 

[Oxy]

Early days - but Sarfraz Ahmad just 'glides' to the ball - and he doesnt snatch.

Technically, he a good 'un!

Lets hope he gets a chance or 2 coming his way - thats the real test

 

[W63L35]

end of akmal?

To early to say.....we need him him to play a few more games to see what material he is made of!

 

[kablooee87]

I think we've gotten used to Akmal. Anyone looks good at this point.

Another beauty from Tanveer.

 

[Oxy]

Damn - Afrid was captain in my fantasy team. Half my team has been dropped today!

 

[kashmiri]

To early to say.....we need him him to play a few more games to see what material he is made of!

i remember akmal playing his first games, so much promise

 

[Easa]

Another beauty Tanvir! He's bowling well tonight.

 

[kablooee87]

Rao into the attack.

Gul only bowled 3 overs.

 

[iZeeshan]

Rao coming in now...
