India vs Ireland | Group B | WC'11 | Bangalore | 6/3/2011

[Badsha]

Bloody hell. Ireland can get Pathan out. He is bound to miss-hit if he's going like this. They just don't have enough runs to play with.

[ZenBowman]

Man, this Naqli has some serious strength, just a flick for six....

 

[Watsupdoc]

YP ruins the party )

 

[Schickelgruber]

Naqli is a minnow basher for sure

 

[Badsha]

Interesting now. Pathan to face Rankin. This will be an interesting contest.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pathan showing how you should play rookies such as cockrell who will be having nightmares for years to come

 

[acer]

Pathan

 

[TNA]

My word.

So much has happened in that over.

a twist and then Pathan turning the tides

 

[Badsha]

Ahh. Doesn't go at it when Rankin is bowling.


That was 99 meters by Pathan.

 

[Strike!]

Pathan treating these halwa bowlers deservedly.

 

[AZ]

C'mooooon.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Naqli Pathan seems to have more strenght than our Afridi these days. Maybe its to do with age

 

[chui_kadoo]

ireland lose the plot. Wheels come off

 

[ZenBowman]

Yuvraj almost threw the game there...

 

[Badsha]

Boyd Rankin showing the difference between Ireland and a test nation here.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Hahaha Pathan to the Indian team. "What's all the fuss about?"

 

[classic]

Yuvi will now start throwing his bat around

 

[mithun_minhas]

Naqli Pathan seems to have more strenght than our Afridi these days. Maybe its to do with age

Yusuf Pathan is no spring chicken.

Afridi seems to have packed too much fat around his chest and waist these days.

 

[Badsha]

Can't be serious.


Afridi can bowl 134 kmph from a three step run up.

 

[ZenBowman]

Naqli trying to get out as well, ye kya hai!

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Close there...
Common Pathan bat sensibly..=

 

[Bhaijaan]

Wow some seriously crazy hits from Pathan.

whadaaaplaya

 

[mohd_mir]

well played ireland, but YP ruins the party for everyone!
good night ireland. u still went fighting.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Yusuf Pathan is no spring chicken.

Afridi seems to have packed too much fat around his chest and waist these days.

Naqli Pathan is only 26-27 and our own Afridi is 34.
7-8 year difference which is alot

 

[AZ]

can't hit Rankin, can he.

 

[Badsha]

But if you think about it. They've restricted India to 188-5.


Well done Ireland.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Can't be serious.


Afridi can bowl 134 kmph from a three step run up.

Im not talking about his bowling

 

[grunge]

Can't be serious.


Afridi can bowl 134 kmph from a three step run up.

he's a much more complete batsmen as compared to afridi...with a higher IQ as well

 

[chui_kadoo]

Pathan back on strike

 

[Badsha]

Naqli on strike. Oh boy..

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Pathan on STRIKE..
:wicket or

 

[Badsha]

he's a much more complete batsmen as compared to afridi...with a higher IQ as well

there are plenty of complete batsmen out there. There aren't many with the "X" factor.


Would take Afridi over naqli any day.

 

[Badsha]

Oh! Fielded.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Good stop. That was sweetly timed

 

[Strike!]

Finish it in three deliveries please.

 

[AZ]

so Pathan gives a long hop and 2 overpitched balls what they deserve, and he becomes the second coming Babe Ruth?

)

 

[chui_kadoo]

18 off 42 required

 

[grunge]

Would take Afridi over naqli any day.

and what is that ''X'' factor really?

 

[Statsman]

Naqli Pathan is only 26-27 and our own Afridi is 34.
7-8 year difference which is alot

and I thought Afridi was 18....

 

[Khan88]

You still gotta say Ireland have improved a lot and look like they could beat teams like Zimbabwe or Bangladesh in a series. With the points table qualification I expect them to be in the next WC.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Single to Naqli Pathan . Hes playing smart cricket here

 

[grunge]

so Pathan gives a long hop and 2 overpitched balls what they deserve, and he becomes the second coming Babe Ruth?

No,the comparison is with Afridi,not BR.

 

[anand99]

and what is that ''X'' factor really?

maybe him being "asli" pathan.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

yuvraj pathan )

 

[Badsha]

and what is that ''X'' factor really?

Scoring a hundred in less than 40 balls.

Changing a cricket match in one over.

 

[AZ]

Manjrekar shut the hell up.

 

[Munna]

mr gavaskar in his biasness making excuses that yuvraj is tired as he bowled 10 overs today .. thats why hez not making too much impact today with bat :/

 

[Khan88]

Oh please, he's not a real Pathan.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I guess both Bangladesh and Ireland are most likely out now as expected

 

[grunge]

Sanjay and Sunil....how idiotic can one possibly get?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Went to Punjabi dhaba and came back to see India struggling to reach the score , all of sudden Yusuf started smashing his trademark straight sixes. Great man to have at the lower order.

192 for 5 after 44 overs

 

[Strike!]

Smiling assassin.

lol indeed.

BS commentary.

he's a cow, just say it.

 

[Indiafan]

Scoring a hundred in less than 40 balls.

Changing a cricket match in one over.

Our Pathan has also done that

 

[BaaliSoda]

Another Yusuf six

 

[Badsha]

I guess both Bangladesh and Ireland are most likely out now as expected

They can still take W'indies spot

 

[ZenBowman]

Naqli plays defense and offense randomly.....

 

[chui_kadoo]

WOW what a hit by Naqli. That was hit so hard. Oh my never seen anything like that. What power

 

[AZ]

too full again.

 

[Badsha]

Our Pathan has also done that

Does it all the time.

 

[grunge]

Scoring a hundred in less than 40 balls.

Changing a cricket match in one over.

that is one cricket match out of 300 odd he's played.

and how often does he ''change'' cricket matches?..once every 80 matches.??

Yusuf is already more destructive and importantly more consistent than Afridi ever was

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boom boom pathan !

 

[chui_kadoo]

They can still take W'indies spot

I doubt it. Naqli showing how the minnows should be treated. WI will wallop Ireland.
It will be happy hour for the likes of Chris Gayle

 

[anand99]

naqli pathan proving that real pathan blood has nothing do with it haha.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Strange game. Not sure if Ireland played well or India played poorly, maybe a bit of both.

 

[Shoaib356]

u dont follow pak cricket........ all u see is afridi batting

 

[ZenBowman]

As regarding Naqli vs Afridi, Afridi is a much more devastating player on his day, and has much more talent, but he doesn't have a cool head. Naqli is a good finisher to have in the lower order, and has similar strength to Afridi.

puhlease.

dumb slogger he may be, look at his all-round game.
