[lollol]

Kolkata REALLY struggling... many mishits, wrong timing, beaten etc etc

 

[pak4life]

20/20 cricket is not made for butt bechara

who ever signed him should be shot!

 

[dblock]

20/20 cricket is not made for butt bechara

who ever signed him should be shot!

spoke slightly too soon, 2 consecutive fours but on the whole not really a power hitter.

 

[lollol]

Ganguly GONE!

 

[sayed.jaffar]

Balaji's pace is just amazing...

 

[jusarrived]

second six of murali for das..... & now butt hits one as well ..murali taking a beating here

 

[Master Blaster]

Murali has gone for too many sixes this series !!

Every Tom, Dick and harry hits him for one !!

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

wow when did Butt learn how 2 hit sixes i seen him hit 2 in 3games now.. and before this for Pakistan i think i aint ever seen him hit a 6 for us thats in test matches.. ODI and 20/20 lol ..

 

[Master Blaster]

^
Its the King Khan effect !!

 

[pakistani]

yay salman butt the 1st pak player to make 50 in IPL

 

[jusarrived]

50 for salman butt !

 

[sohailalam]

who said he aint built for t20????????

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

BUTT-AHH vell done....

 

[Rana]

is this a bowlers wicket or one for the batsmen?

 

[Rana]

who said he aint built for t20????????

it was more of a one day 50!

 

[lollol]

Butt isnt suited for 20/20 cause his strike-rate is to low.

Its under 100, and in this innings he has also a poor s/r of 110...

 

[sohailalam]

it was in a t20 match............no?

 

[Master Blaster]

Butt dropped !!

 

[Rana]

they are just wasting deliveries here!

 

[Master Blaster]

4444444444444444444 to Butt !!

mURALI IS going for plenty !!

 

[Master Blaster]

4444444444444 more to Butty !!

Murali has been such a poor bowler !!

 

[lollol]

Butt slogging off Murali.. he'll be out if he tries to do this with some other bowler.. just wait and see

 

[Rana]

if this is a batting track then so far they have not scored enough

 

[sohailalam]

butt > murali

 

[lollol]

Ntini succesfull at aiming at the stumps

 

[Rana]

Das is gone!

 

[sohailalam]

well.......u say butt plays too slow....atleast hes playing unlike some indian and aussie "stars"

 

[lollol]

By the way, we have a hat-trick which went unnoticed!! Ntini got Ganguly at the end of the fifth over, bowling Ganguly and proceeded to send back Das and Hussey off the first two balls of the next spell.

 

[pakistani]

according to cricinfo

"Ntini hat-trick jolts Kolkata"

 

[feather]

according to cricinfo

"Ntini hat-trick jolts Kolkata"

he did get one.

 

[pakistani]

he did get one.

wow he did they didnt say anything about it stupid arun lal

 

[lollol]

Kolkate made only 149.

Its not enough to win.... they need Akhtar en Sharma to go rampage and Dhoni to not bat (cause of his injyury)

 

[lollol]

wow he did they didnt say anything about it stupid arun lal

Thats because it went unnoticed. Even cricinfo announced it after a while. It was spread in 2 overs, thats why

Butts saying that wickets is a very lively one

 

[Alam_dar]

KKR are short of 15-20 Runs

 

[The WagonWheel]

Here it goes , here it goes , here it goes again ..... Shaoaib in agony for 198th time in his career....

 

[Gunner786]

heart in mouth time that was

 

[161]

Here it goes , here it goes , here it goes again ..... Shaoaib in agony for 198th time in his career....

and he still bowls over 145kph in that over - so whats ur point ?

 

[ehjaz]

0.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Patel, no run, hits a good line and length outside the offstump, pitches on the channel and holds its line before reaching the keeper
Shoaib takes his time, He looks tired already

(cricinfo)

 

[Sparhawk]

KKR are short of 15-20 Runs

Better than being short by a 100 runs. It won't help with that fielding effort by agarkar, pathetic.

 

[161]

sharma's horrible in t20 ...

gul should be bowling alongside shoaib.

 

[Sparhawk]

Thats the best way to survive against shoaib, play as many lefties as possible.

 

[sayed.jaffar]

Shoaib is at his pathetic best.....

 

[jusarrived]

sharma's horrible in t20 ...

gul should be bowling alongside shoaib.

sharma has been far better than gul in IPL...though on potential it should be sharma along side gul ..........Akthar is a poor T20 bowler , inspite of his spell against delhi !

 

[sayed.jaffar]

I think shoaib forgot to take steroid earlier in the day.... His bowling speed is not too far from balaji..

 

[W63L35]

0.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Patel, no run, hits a good line and length outside the offstump, pitches on the channel and holds its line before reaching the keeper

some people do get tired after bowling two balls, you know!

 

[sayed.jaffar]

KKR aaj phir haren gey

 

[The WagonWheel]

and he still bowls over 145kph in that over - so whats ur point ?

Nothing . I was missing your posts

 

[Gunner786]

akhtar injured

[161]

sharma has been far better than gul in IPL...though on potential it should be sharma along side gul ..........Akthar is a poor T20 bowler , inspite of his spell against delhi !

) ) )

joke of the week ?

kindly go check the stats plz.

 

[W63L35]

akhtar injured
he has left the field

...ok, lets see how many people are shocked? ...anybody??

 

[sayed.jaffar]

shoaib has left the ground and I am sure he is not coming back again tonight....Now he is showing his true colors... There is a reason why he was banned by PCB

 

[Master Blaster]

Great fielding by Taibu !!

 

[sayed.jaffar]

...ok, lets see how many people are shocked? ...anybody??

It is sad that people really wants to see him bowl at express pace.. But he has some other plans for this crowd

 

[ehjaz]

maybe mr. akhter is "playing hooky"

 

[161]

haters out in full force today ?

he is injured .. so how come he was still bowling over 140kph ?

 

[W63L35]

akhtar injured
he has left the field

Seven whole overs that he has bowled in 3 matches and over 5-6 days, must have taken its toll on his body!

 

[Shahid A]

OMG! his inujured didnt see that coming!

 

[Dhonifan]

...ok, lets see how many people are shocked? ...anybody??

yeah, me
I fully expected Shoaib to not let his bade bhai SRK down (his own words).
what is it now
injury? heat and humidity? not enough batsmens stumps flying?

 

[Showman]

He's not injured. He's back on the field.

 

[ehjaz]

i think mr. akhter is getting ready for

 

[sayed.jaffar]

I have said here many times that Shoaib has done one-day wonders few times..he is a crappy bowler. What is his excuse now not to stay fit. I mean he has only bowled 7 overs in 3 games....he must be kidding with everyone if he says he is not fit...this is total horse s***

 

[W63L35]

He's not injured. He's back on the field.

now....... I am shocked!!!

 

[161]

FYI haters.

Shoaib is NOT injured.

He went off for for a few minutes and is now back on the field.

Quit making up pathetic lies.

 

[Dhonifan]

He's not injured. He's back on the field.

good, kkr need him. its not always about wkts, just his positive body language and not giving away runs will be a big boost

 

[Sparhawk]

He twisted his ankle in his first ball, it was genuine, but don't let me spoil the party for you guys!

 

[W63L35]

haters out in full force today ?

Monsee is not here.....!

 

[Dhonifan]

are we gonna see a Dhoni vs Shoaib duel? yess plsss

 

[ehjaz]

in his last two over of the spell, who would want him to take 4-5 wickets???

:3dbiggrin

 

[tauseefm]

...ok, lets see how many people are shocked? ...anybody??

isn't it suppose to happen? its his third game in a row and he bowled 8 overs before breaking down. so nothing surprising to me

 

[sayed.jaffar]

FYI haters.

Shoaib is NOT injured.

He went off for for a few minutes and is now back on the field.

Quit making up pathetic lies.

Right he went inside to take some of his "painkillers" which he usually inject..... Now he is back so what..didnt you see the first two overs how pathetic bowling that was???

 

[Dhonifan]

Ntini got a hat trick and no one knew!

 

[ehjaz]

actually he went off the filed to see sharukh khan for some from him

 

[161]

Right he went inside to take some of his "painkillers" which he usually inject..... Now he is back so what..didnt you see the first two overs how pathetic bowling that was???

he bowled around 140ks with a good line and length.

what is pathetic about that ?

his bowling wasn't pathetic .. ur comments are.

 

[sayed.jaffar]

You only wish that his bowling was great. I dont think we are watching the same game. I am not expecting him to take any wickets on every bowl. But when you are the strike bowler and your team is defending a small total he shouldnt be bowling wides and spraying bowl all over the place...

 

[ehjaz]

Mr. actor is getting a lot of and in the mean time sharukh is
