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

[W63L35]

After 17 overs...
Pak had hit 10 fours.
Ind 11 fours 1 six.

Pak 79/3
Ind 84/4

 

[purplehaze]

India needs 223 from 33 overs ....



Reminds me of 1987 world cup when Indian opener Srikant and Gavaskar scored 223 or so in 33 odd overs ... that was Gavaskar's only ODI hundred I guess....

 

[kablooee87]

Turned out to be a brilliant move by Malik to take Gul off after only 3 overs.

The other two pacers took advantage...and now, Gul is back with plenty of overs in hand.

 

[TaZ]

Malik searching for that next wicket before he starts the next 20 overs of spin

 

[dirk diggler]

TAG team are performing admitably

 

[W63L35]

I think....Malik is over bowling the pacers and waiting too long for himself/Fawad to bowl!

 

[DM]

That was great carry by Rao in the previous over - where are these bowlers getting their extra pace from?

 

[kashmiri]

i think malik is a good tactician, just needs to be more aggressive.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

FINALLY! Some excitement.......If they hit a lot....at one point they're gonna get out

 

[kablooee87]

Still with the pacers. Need a wicket this over guys.

 

[DM]

That was a beautiful shot of the moon

Yuvraj nailed on the helmet with a bouncer!! There we have our bowling tactic for the tests

 

[kablooee87]

Yuvraj smoked on the head.

 

[purplehaze]

Yuvi in some trouble ... looking out of sorts

 

[Caved12]

look out for yuvi, I think he is mad now, can give his wicket or hit fours.

 

[kashmiri]

look out for yuvi, I think he is mad now, can give his wicket or hit fours.

for deepika

 

[purplehaze]

Are there lot of pretty girls in ground or am I seeing same girl, from different angles, every time?

 

[kashmiri]

i just love yuvi's strike rate
Yuvraj Singh (lhb) 6 16 1 0 37.50

 

[kashmiri]

Are there lot of pretty girls in ground or am I seeing same girl, from different angles, every time?

deepika, hindustan me pretty girls ki killat he!!

 

[DM]

Yuvraj smoked on the head.

 

[Caved12]

for deepika

I dont think that he would be in movie stars after being dumped by Kim Sharma. )

 

[kashmiri]

required run rate 7

only capable batsman to achieve such a feat are
inzi
saeed anwar
miandad
moyo
yoka

and they are all on the other side

 

[shahidrazzaq]

We Desperately Need A Wicket!

 

[iZeeshan]

We need one more wicket before Fawad and Malik have to come on.

 

[kashmiri]

We Desperately Need A Wicket!

to seal the match?
if we dont get a wicket in the next 5 overs, we will win by 15 runs
if we do get a wicket, we will win by 30 runs

 

[Caved12]

no way India could win from here.

 

[the true passionist]

Malik should have already started bowling a spinner along with a pacer instead of leaving the spinners to bowl in a pair for 20 consecutive overs.

 

[W63L35]

Fawad to bowl!

 

[the true passionist]

no way India could win from here.

It is possible as long as Dhoni and Yuvraj bat till the 40/42nd over

 

[iZeeshan]

I think India can still easily win this with Dhoni still to come and Fawad and Malik to still bowl 20 overs.

 

[Caved12]

that stretching act was kinda funny by fawad.

 

[purplehaze]

no way India could win from here.

why so? RR is 7, and with dew in and Dhoni/ Pathan/ Yuvi/ Rohit and few others in kitty ... I don't see Pakistan is so comfortably in. Pakistan need couple of more wickets to seal this else dew may play a spoil sport .

 

[kashmiri]

no way India could win from here.

unfortunately, india can win from here
70 in the next 10 overs will put them in striking range or our total
if we can restrict them to 50 in the next 10 overs and take a wicket, then it is curtains for the indians.

70 is par score for indians in the next 10 overs

 

[shahidrazzaq]

R.r.r = 7.13

 

[kablooee87]

Alright Fawad, earn your place.

 

[kashmiri]

good tactical move by malik to bring fawad in

 

[kashmiri]

use 4 overs of the front line bowlers with 5 from fawad and 1 from malik while giving away 50-55 runs max in the next 10 overs and taking 1 wicket

 

[kashmiri]

153 for 4 par score for india at the end of 30 overs.

 

[shahidrazzaq]

oh she is the deepika.
that be the film where raj kumar be thrown out of the cinema. that be the film for which SRK apologised to RK

watch the movie you'll see

 

[Serendipity]

need to get Yuvi out sooon if not now

 

[Caved12]

unfortunately, india can win from here
70 in the next 10 overs will put them in striking range or our total

70 is par score for indians in the next 10 overs

Pakistan is bowling superbly, all three fast/med bowlers are fantastic today,they have lost their four main wickets, yuvi looks lost, it is just not india's day. trust me they won't even come close, mark my words.

 

[kablooee87]

Only the pressure of the run chase or a brilliant effort in the field will get a wicket at this point.

 

[purplehaze]

No risky shots yet by Indians ... seems they would go all out once 20 or maybe 25 are left ...

 

[TaZ]

Malik and fawad are being milked with ease for 6 an over minimum. Easy 120 runs MINIMUM against these 2

 

[shahidrazzaq]

run rate required is about 7.50 lolzzz just let them slow the game up and then screw the game up by losing it badly

 

[W63L35]

After 24 overs;

Pak 111/3
Ind 111/4

 

[the true passionist]

this is going to be a close one..

 

[kablooee87]

First 5 overs from these 2 have gone for 25.

 

[kablooee87]

4 off the first ball.

Ok Malik, what's the response?

 

[purplehaze]

25 overs left and seems Indians are set to launch counter attack ....

Four by Rohit ...

 

[shahidrazzaq]

UGHHH! They need 7.50 per over....but we're not getting wickets...which is bad

 

[the true passionist]

Lawson's face tells the story...this could still be a tough one.

PAK should win comfortably to take the advantage.

 

[kablooee87]

10 off that over.

 

[purplehaze]

Great batting temperament shown by Rohit Sharma today ...

 

[Caved12]

Sharma was good in the local cup tournament which he just played before this series.

 

[kablooee87]

2 dot balls in last 4.2 overs.

 

[Caved12]

indian crowd is probably the loudest.

 

[kablooee87]

Dot ball!!!

 

[kablooee87]

but then a 4.

This is bad.

 

[purplehaze]

Great shot by Rohit ... reduces target by FOUR

 

[W63L35]

Sharma - very well played!

 

[iZeeshan]

India starting to move the rate along now. Wicket(S) needed.

 

[TaZ]

Momentum with india and 6-8 runs an over against malik and fawad is simple with no risk. Will go down to the wire

 

[the_game]

Sharma reminds me a bit of Dravid. Good innings so far.

 

[kablooee87]

indian crowd is probably the loudest.

yep. And it's also the quietest.

 

[kablooee87]

last 43 runs have come with absolutely no fuss.

 

[Caved12]

always feel good when youngsters or any rookie perform well

 

[Caved12]

amazing timing by yuvi, sorry that was a hit, yet amazing power

 

[shahidrazzaq]

rookie eh?

 

[W63L35]

Very nice take by Sarfraz down the leg side!

 

[kablooee87]

OUT!!!!!!

YES YES YES YES YES

This is what we needed. A rash shot. Runs were coming. All about the pressure of the chase.

 

[Caved12]

see india has lost the game already

 

[W63L35]

Rohit out!

 

[iZeeshan]

WICKET! Yes! WOOT!!!

But Dhoni...

 

[kablooee87]

Dhoni Yuvraj partnership again.

gotta find a way to break it.

 

[purplehaze]

Pakistan back in driving seat!

well played Rohit Sharma ....

 

[W63L35]

see india has lost the game already

Dhoni scored 183 on this ground!

 

[the_game]

Sharma threw it away. 143-5.

 

[kablooee87]

Uh Oh. Umar Gul's back creeping up again?

 

[W63L35]

Whats wrong with Gul??? Ramiz says - he is being treated for his injury!!

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Likely all over.
