well done pak

[Easa]

Dean Jones saying Munaf and Singh cannot count to 6, brought the drinks out early.

)

 

[Easa]

Edged away for a couple.

Rao: 10 (31)

Hi everyone. Not watching game but just following the scorecard. Why on earth, do we not go for the kill? Are Malik/Afridi proving to be difficult to play?

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

dean jones is a moron...he keeps babbling away total nonsense....sohail just sits silently and lets dean make a fool out of himself

good move coz they have dried the runs up imho

and also they are getting some spin

its not easy to make scores against spinners as the track is very slow

the only person who can be interesting in this comm team is deano. what are u talkin abt

 

[Muzy]

is there any other live commentary link on the net apart from humfm.com bloody crap commentary id rather listen 2ramiz dreadlocks commentate

 

[zMario]

Cmon Pakistanis, lets get another run out

 

[Wicked Fast Bowler]

dean about shoaib malik: "most people think he's only 5-6 but he's actually 5-11"

who the hell thinks shoaib malik is short? this is what i mean about deano being a total bumbling moron

 

[Easa]

Partnership: 30 odd of 80 odd balls.

 

[Easa]

Afridi mixing it up, bowling really well.

 

[chuck]

Pak is doing gr8 but it's really boring right now.

 

[pakistani_banda]

y dont we just get these guys out , theyre just kids,

 

[Hash]

Pak is doing gr8 but it's really boring right now.

Watching Pak play well is never boring for me.

Anyway, Rao is on 15 from 42 balls. I am guessing he has not heard of the concept of one day cricket but batting in ODIs, just like tests is about STAYING IN and SCORING RUNS.

He has got the staying in part.

 

[Easa]

Bits coming out of the pitch, like rocks out of a the ground.

Luckily its behind the stumps.

 

[Muzy]

no sanjay manjrekar? i thought ramiz's partner in crime would be alongside him?

 

[Hash]

y dont we just get these guys out , theyre just kids,

because the match is fixed. Both will score centuries according to my favourite mustard sauce

 

[chuck]

y dont we just get these guys out , theyre just kids,

if someone plays an ODI like test match...( 15 runs in 41 balls ) then how would u get him out. And how does it matter anyway. Better if he stays ..

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

we need to get raina out

rao will go into his shell i feel at the fall of his partner

 

[TaxiDriver]

Run rate is creeping up a little. Require a wicket to break this partnership. India obviously conserving wkts for the last 15 - 10 overs.

Just don't want this Raina to get his fifty...not against us...please somebody get him ot...send him back to the pavilion...C'MON PAAKISTAN!

 

[Hash]

we need to get raina out

rao will go into his shell i feel at the fall of his partner

he already is in his shell

The way things are going is fine by me. Less time at the crease for Dhobi.

ummmm

Not really

 

[zMario]

Dhobi? I don't get it.....

 

[chuck]

I agree .. we need to keep this guy Rao for as long as possible. This will keep Dhoni out for sometime.

 

[amarmak]

Need a wicket now....

Raina and Venu looking very steady

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

maybe i feel if rao sees his partner go he come to a complete holt

 

[chuck]

what happenned to pak's fielding today .. so many direct hits. They are superb in the field today.

 

[Easa]

120-4 (35)

 

[Easa]

Need a wicket now....

Raina and Venu looking very steady

40 run partnership from 100 balls.

) )

 

[zMario]

or maybe if Rao sees his partner go, he will start licking his partner, and try to kiss him lmao

 

[Easa]

Sifarshi Malik bowling good.

Where the hell is AJ?

 

[chuck]

If we keep Rao for sometime then it will soon be 60 runs off 200 balls.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

this partnership have used a 1/3 of the ball in a odi innings made 50 runs

thats 3 an over

 

[Easa]

or maybe if Rao sees his partner go, he will start licking his partner, and try to kiss him lmao

Errmmm, no.

That really doesn't sound right.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

40 run partnership from 100 balls.

) )

50 to be correct

 

[zMario]

Errmmm, no.

That really doesn't sound right.

Let's see what actually happens

 

[iqbal sikander]

india will win this, if there batsmen struggle for quick runs, imagine ours

 

[Easa]

Driven down the ground for a single.

 

[Hash]

india will win this, if there batsmen struggle for quick runs, imagine ours

yeah because they are so much better than us aren't they

 

[Swaraj!!]

Well regardless of how slow the pitch is (is it that slow?) this run rate is unacceptable for ODIs. They really dont know how to take more singles and stuff.

But I guess they know best.

124/4 (36.2 Ovs)

 

[Easa]

Driven down the ground, again.

Next ball, play and miss.

 

[adi 101]

four runs

 

[chuck]

this is such a boring match .... I am waiting for pak innings ...

 

[Easa]

Four.

Venu hits a four, what a miracle!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

rao gets a 4

 

[Swaraj!!]

yeah because they are so much better than us aren't they

Not really, I think the Pak Batsmen can pace themselves better since they have seen what went on in this innings. There is a 75-25 chance that Pak is gonna win. And then, you have got Afridi

 

[Easa]

Wide.

I agree. But I am not sure if Afridi will succeed today. It's not that kind of pitch which suits stroke makers.

 

[Swaraj!!]

Pak is doing the ultimate professional job here....take a look at the extras

Extras: b - 0, w - 2, nb - 0, lb - 1 3

 

[Kean0]

This is pretty typical of Inzi, rather than killing the innigs by going for mor wickets he is playing into the hands fo the indian batsmen and giving them lollypop spin bowling.

We ALWAYS does this! Why cant we go for the kill?!

Setting up a nice platform for Dhoni to come in and hit a quick fifty. Mark my words.

 

[zMario]

Beautiful lights are on

inshallah

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

if we can restrict them 200 excellent effort

 

[Easa]

Spinners really putting the breaks on the scoring.

 

[Muzy]

how can it be boring watching a pak match? wish i was watching it live btw hows the fielding placing today by inzi? any improvements?

bro hes capped the run rate which a key feature of odi cricket

 

[adi 101]

Out!

 

[Easa]

Raina GONE!

Holes out, Afridi takes the wicket/

 

[zMario]

OUT!

YEAHH!!!

We needed that!

 

[adi 101]

Afridi!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

raina goes

build up of the pressure

 

[Easa]

Raina goes for 40 of 67 balls, well played.

 

[pacman]

Afridi strikes

 

[zMario]

Oh crap, now Dhobi is in

 

[Muzy]

Wooooooooooo Hoooooooooooo
Outtttttt!!!!

 

[MIG]

Asif will take care of Dhoni -

 

[Shayan]

big wicket... hopefully dhoni wont last long

 

[sehsan]

raina goes

build up of the pressure

great.......we need to get dhoni right away

 

[pacman]

Dhoni must not take this game away from us. Lets see what Inzi has planned for him this time around.

 

[amarmak]

Crunch time now...

Dhoni In...

Dhoni Out (wishing)

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

Asif will take care of Dhoni -

inshallah

 

[Swaraj!!]

There you go....another nail in the coffin , for our side that is....hopefully Dhoni will do something....but if they can score at 3 and a half when the ball is new and pitch is better, i really have doubts what they are going to do now.....

 

[MIG]

Char din ka dhoni , Phir andheri raat hai )

 

[amarmak]

Asif has to be given atleast 1 over now....

 

[chuck]

gr8 raina is out. If Venu Rao keeps on playing like this all Indian batsmen will get out trying to hit on a slow pitch. All we need to do is keep this guy Venu Rao. Don't get him out.
