India vs Pakistan | 1st ODI | Chennai | 30/12/12 | India Innings

[Bilal7]

when those two were bowling so well, what on earth was the point of bowling malik?

I just realised that Misbah realised that Irfan cannot be trusted to bowl ten overs.

 

[hur rizvi]

take malik off please before they start hitting him for sixes

 

[saiyan0312]

Malik over gone... looks like Hafeez or Gul wont be bowling full quota.

 

[Inswinger]

I just realised that Misbah realised that Irfan cannot be trusted to bowl ten overs.

That's an absurd realization on your part. Try again.

 

[Sledger]

50 up for Dhoni














Balls faced that is.

 

[imshally81]

M Hafeez vs Dhoni

 

[BlackThunder]

Why ???

Pakistan batting has been a problem, need to strengthen that.

Its just crazy, there is no if and buts.

 

[Justcrazy]

89 / 5

 

[godzilla]

dhoni getting very frustrated here...

 

[IgnitedMind]

Dhoni trying to be aggresive...

 

[Inswinger]

How many times have we seen the "weakest" bowler get the vital breakthrough? I don't mind Malik bowling a couple of overs.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

I just realised that Misbah realised that Irfan cannot be trusted to bowl ten overs.

He looked very tired after bowling his overs

 

[Sledger]

Another mis-field.

 

[BlackThunder]

50 up for Dhoni














Balls faced that is.

Wait until you watch Misbah and Younis bat before pointing out Dhoni. You might change your mind.

 

[saiyan0312]

Hafeez is bowling fine... They tried to attack him didnt succeed. another misfield.

 

[talha3]

Misbah!!! Wake up.

 

[chaiwala]

Misbah is an awful fielder.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Age has caught up with mr tuk tuk

 

[godzilla]

I just realised that Misbah realised that Irfan cannot be trusted to bowl ten overs.

fair comment. it looks like he isnt international standard fit. and the comment about buying a wicket was fair too i guess.

 

[Inswinger]

LOL Misbah. If a young player had made those mistakes, he would be out for the next match.

 

[imshally81]

take malik off please before they start hitting him for sixes

Agreed

 

[IgnitedMind]

As gavaskar is saying....I think we are playing too slow!!

 

[hur rizvi]

No malik please , bowl Gul or Junaid if irfan is not available

 

[Sandeep]

If I were Misbah, I'd get Junaid/Irfan in and clean up this line up! What's he doing?!!

 

[t_kaay]

Pakistan tightening it up, good bowling

 

[coy0607]

That's an absurd realization on your part. Try again.

not really.... irfan's fitness is quite poor, and hes very unproven at the death of the innings

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Misbah setting great example as a captain by misfielding, the guy needs to hang his boots from ODIs

 

[Square Drive]

Man, Misbah should've caught that. Anyways, tight stuff from Pakistan. I don't think India can score more than 175.

 

[IAJ]

Misbah messing up our good fielding from t20sM

 

[BlackThunder]

Another misfield by Misbah, his mind is in overdrive thinking about the Pakistani batting on this pitch.

 

[saiyan0312]

Malik on again...

 

[Bilal7]

That's an absurd realization on your part. Try again.

Maybe you should spend more time watching the match instead of posting on PP. You've obviously missed the huffing and puffing of Irfan and how he's off the field, partly to catch his breath.

 

[hur rizvi]

If I were Misbah, I'd get Junaid/Irfan in and clean up this line up! What's he doing?!!

Ball isnt swinging now so its not easy to clean up the line-up now.

 

[Sledger]

Dhoni lol. Another dot.

 

[t_kaay]

If I were Misbah, I'd get Junaid/Irfan in and clean up this line up! What's he doing?!!

He tried that. Danger of having no one left to bowl at the end has forced him to use the spinners overs up

 

[godzilla]

malik is getting a huge amount of turn here to be fair.

 

[Inswinger]

not really.... irfan's fitness is quite poor, and hes very unproven at the death of the innings

How can you say his fitness is poor? How much have you seen him in FC cricket? He bowls a lot of overs on hard tracks in hot conditions. That let his poor fielding lead you to believe that he's unfit.

 

[Sledger]

Good over by Malik there. 93/5.

 

[talha3]

Good bowling by Malik.

 

[saiyan0312]

They are batting slow... Malik should have been attacked but they are just tipping it off like test.

 

[Inswinger]

Maybe you should spend more time watching the match instead of posting on PP. You've obviously missed the huffing and puffing of Irfan and how he's off the field, partly to catch his breath.

Have you seen Umar Gul huffing and puffing? Did you know that Umar was also off the field for some time?

 

[IgnitedMind]

why are we defending malik !!!

 

[BlackThunder]

If I were Misbah, I'd get Junaid/Irfan in and clean up this line up! What's he doing?!!

He is too worried about their teams batting than to make sound decisions.

 

[BlackThunder]

why are we defending malik !!!

Dhoni knows anything above 150 is a very competitve total on this pitch, no need to give it away now just milk and attack the last 10 or 5 overs.

 

[Sledger]

Slog attempt but still no boundary for Raina, just two.

 

[saiyan0312]

Tried the big slog but couldnt hit it right.

 

[t_kaay]

Slow outfield saves the boundary

 

[Bilal7]

Have you seen Umar Gul huffing and puffing? Did you know that Umar was also off the field for some time?

Gul has proven his fitness in pressure situations, Irfan has not.

 

[IgnitedMind]

2 runs....outfield is fustrating....

 

[Sledger]

97/5, 20 overs to come.

 

[Pak-Legend]

He is too worried about their teams batting than to make sound decisions.

You, or Misbah? you posted the same comment so many times

 

[t_kaay]

97-5 after 30 overs

 

[coy0607]

How can you say his fitness is poor? How much have you seen him in FC cricket? He bowls a lot of overs on hard tracks in hot conditions. That let his poor fielding lead you to believe that he's unfit.

wasim akram just mentioned that misbah/watmore told him that irfans fitness is not great.... also its was clear when he was bought back for the second spell that he was brunt up

its obvious to anyone thats watching that he cant be trusted for a full 10 overs, regardless of pitch/weather

 

[GuruG]

Wow Test Match in Progress)))))

 

[Lightning Blade]

Guys don't feed the trolls aka BlackThunder.

 

[Sandeep]

If we get to 200-220, things will get interesting with the kind of bounce on offer! Ashwin will come into play... But having said that, Pakistan has seasoned campaigners like Ali, Younis and Misbah.. Still will be a good old fashioned match! Hafeez is the dangerman

 

[classic]

one more wicket and they will be bowled out in no time. junaid will take 6 wickets today

 

[IgnitedMind]

last 20 overs...one more 100 would be nice...

 

[saiyan0312]

20 overs left come on... no more malik.

 

[talha3]

Last 10 overs 21 runs. Not bad. I fear if these two make it to 40-45 overs though.

 

[Sledger]

Very wide from Malik, again Raina completely misses out.

 

[Saurav]

need to step it up a bit

 

[IAJ]

Say what ever you want about Raina, but he really plays for his country wholehearted.

 

[BlackThunder]

You, or Misbah? you posted the same comment so many times

No matter how many times its posted the point remains

 

[saiyan0312]

100 for India.

 

[Sledger]

100 up and the crowd erupts.

 

[t_kaay]

Crowd going wild for the century

 

[IgnitedMind]

100

 

[saiyan0312]

71 runs partnership.

 

[Sledger]

Malik doing surprisingly well.

 

[Saurav]

100 up

 

[Lightning Blade]

Say what ever you want about Raina, but he really plays for his country wholehearted.

Unlike A certain somebody

 

[Pak-Legend]

wasim akram just mentioned that misbah/watmore told him that irfans fitness is not great.... also its was clear when he was bought back for the second spell that he was brunt up

its obvious to anyone thats watching that he cant be trusted for a full 10 overs, regardless of pitch/weather

Agreed, Irfan's fitness definitely needs some improvement.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Ramiz is such a joker

 

[Sledger]

I guess these two are waiting for the 35th over.

 

[ussy]

Ok Rameez we know how tall he is now after the 100th time you've told us!

 

[Bilal7]

wasim akram just mentioned that misbah/watmore told him that irfans fitness is not great.... also its was clear when he was bought back for the second spell that he was brunt up

Any sensible person would have realised this. Afridi blasted Irfan publically for this in England and Irfan was two years younger at that time.

 

[BlackThunder]

Gavaskar calling Hanif Mohammed Hanif Saheb, even Pakistanis don't do this, he must be looking for PCL contract.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

4 of the last 5 games have been won by the team batting first

 

[GreenKnightRises]

I thought we din have a Test match in this tour....
