[pakistani]

asif strikes!!!\


gets sangakara

 

[Gunner786]

asif continues his love affair with the lankans

 

[Saj]

What a clever piece of bowling from Asif.

Slightly shorter and a yard quicker, angles across Sanga and the keeper takes an easy catch.

Brilliant bowling.

 

[HuZi]

This Is What I Want To Seee!!!!!!!! Come On Asif

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Good bowling Asif !!

 

[jackal786]

magnificent piece of bowling.

 

[Dhonifan]

Rudi makes up for Shikar Dhawan's wkt

woohoo....Asif gets the danger man!!

OK, DD wins this one too.

 

[pakistani pride]

katich has a 20/20 average of 40 and a strike rate of close to 150 that means he is a good 20, 20 player. give credit where credit is due !

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

what a sight seeing Asif and McGrath in tandem. I was going miss McGrath after he retired but Asif will compensate for that for sure.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

That muppet Gavaskar was having fits when Asif got hit for a 4 by Sanga but he didnt say a word about the dismissal.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Asif to Jayawardene. A bit of history there...

 

[pakistani pride]

Saj, Katich proved you a little bit wrong here hehe

 

[HuZi]

I hate it when Katich hits 1 four it will be a second WHY ??

 

[pakistanbest]

great hitting from katich off both asif and mcgrath

 

[pakistanbest]

maharoof in asif out.

asif was expensive even though he got the important wicket of sanga

 

[pakistanbest]

jayawardena in on the act. 44444 of fellow sri lankan maharoof

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

What a legend McGrath is, he was cursing himself as usual like it was a Test Match for Australia when he got hit for 2 boundaries.

Sehawag has got it wrong, he should have kept Asif on for Jayawardena.

 

[pakistanbest]

DD bowlers are losing it here. they need to keep it tight.

malik should be bought on

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik starts with a wide

 

[Mohsin]

Malik gets Jayawardene c & b, big wicket!! Nice one Shoaib!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik gets Jaya - caught and bowled

 

[pakistanbest]

great catch by malik.

it was right decision to bring malik on.

 

[pakistanbest]

danger man yuvi comes out. asif should be brought on

 

[P4K1 #1]

malik strikesss!! delhi daredevils should win this.. need to get yuvi out early

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Brilliant stuff from the skipper.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Asif back on

 

[Dhonifan]

brilliant catch by shoaib! this could be the turning point of the game.

 

[pakistanbest]

asif back on, right decision. good captaincy

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Asif in!

 

[pakistanbest]

good 2 balls to yuvi from asif

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Is Asif wearing a brace on hies bowling elbow these days?

 

[Mohsin]

And how fact is Asif bowling on average? Thanks

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Good over from Asif. With a slip he would have had Katich.

 

[Dhonifan]

we need one more wkt asap!

 

[Dhonifan]

we need katich

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

they shouldnt let ramiz talk to the players.

 

[pakistanbest]

maharoof needs to get us a wkt

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

One of the good thing about this tournament is that the indians have at last exploited the marketing potential by getting quality kit sponsors.

 

[pakistanbest]

poor start from maharoof.

katich hits 4444444444444 of 1st ball

 

[pakistanbest]

666666 from katich of malik

 

[pakistanbest]

free hit coming up via malik. poor stuff

 

[pakistanbest]

just the two off free hit by yuvi of malik

 

[pakistanbest]

one of these two leftties have to be dismissed asap if DD stand any chance of winning

 

[moumotta]

Punjab should be able to cruise from here.

 

[pakistanbest]

looks like it will be a comfartable win for the punjabs unless asif or mcgrath can produce something special from their last overs

 

[Blitzkrieg]

what a shot from yuvraj!

 

[Dhonifan]

DD dumbos have lots this one. defensive batting and some ordinary bowling gave it away.

very disappointing. i think i'll switch allegiance and start cheering for mohali. aftr all its the team closest to delhi in terms of distance.

 

[Mohsin]

GAME ON!!!!!!!!1 Kathch gone! run out

 

[Dhonifan]

finaly katich runout

 

[Blitzkrieg]

punjab and rajasthan had slow start to the tournament....now with chennai they are the teams to beat!

 

[moumotta]

DD dumbos have lots this one. defensive batting and some ordinary bowling gave it away.

very disappointing. i think i'll switch allegiance and start cheering for mohali. aftr all its the team closest to delhi in terms of distance.

Thought that should be Jaipur- 250KM

 

[Dhonifan]

GAME ON!!!!!!!!1 Kathch gone! run out

[Blitzkrieg]

[pakistanbest]

cricket is a funny game anything can happen when u got asif and mcgrath in ur team

 

[Blitzkrieg]

delhi need to get yuvraj to stand a chance.....

 

[Mohsin]

too late, bro, too late....

Dont worry mate, cricket's a funny game

 

[Dhonifan]

Thought that should be Jaipur- 250KM

erm, you're right. so i've got 2 alternate teams to cheer for if daredevils lose the plot.

 

[pakistanbest]

need a couple fo tight overs here. c'mon guys

 

[Dhonifan]

well mohali is around the same....

jaipur closer by half hour or so

 

[Blitzkrieg]

two teams i am cheering for are playing right now....

 

[Dhonifan]

Dont worry mate, cricket's a funny game

*sigh* , mate, right now it's as funny as the 6 Yuvi hit

 

[pakistanbest]

great shot by yuvi of mcgrath. 6666666666666

 

[Dhonifan]

two teams i am cheering for are playing right now....

[Dhonifan]

butter finger asif!!!!!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

well just checked it out....japiur is 258 kms from delhi and mohali 250 kms

 

[pakistanbest]

yuvi will see his team through here unless asif can provide a magical moment

 

[Dhonifan]

yayyy Yuvi gone

 

[Dhonifan]

well just checked it out....japiur is 258 kms from delhi and mohali 250 kms

you're kiddin me! well done, just proves mohali is practically in delhi subarb. so it's ok, i'm still winning...

 

[Blitzkrieg]

so you're in a win-win situation, eh?

yeh kind of .... punjab need this win after loosing there first 2 matches and delhi had already won there first 2 matches ....so i was kind of cheering for punjab in this match.

 

[moumotta]

well just checked it out....japiur is 258 kms from delhi and mohali 250 kms

I know a short cut that saves 9 Kms.

 

[Dhonifan]

some comedy being provided by Irfan, Asif and umpire...

 

[Dhonifan]

[Saj]

No idea why Pathan was shaking his head there - he clearly edged it.

 

[Dhonifan]

No idea why Pathan was shaking his head there - he clearly edged it.

he wast happy with asif's attitude...

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Dont know why Pathan didnt walk.

Also, dont know why the unpire didnt raise his finger.

Nothing wrong by Asif there.

 

[Saj]

he wast happy with asif's attitude...

Attitude

The umpire didnt raise his finger, Asif appealed and the umpire gave him out quite rightly - dont see what Pathan was whinging about. I thought there was going to be more tears from an Indian international.

 

[161]

preity getting ready to give sree a hug .. she doesn't want him to cry again ..

 

[161]

bottles being thrown at asif .. welcome to india

 

[Dhonifan]

hum jeet gaye hum jeet gaye...

 

[Saj]

Another tidy victory for Punjab, only thing missing this time around were the tears from Santh at the end of the game.

Look a good team do Punjab, but they will now lose Brett Lee and Katich.
