Blackberry ? Why not just get an N8 saj No need for separate phone and camera's

 

[Saj]

steady over from Saeed Ajmal.

83 for 6.

Tough day for a spinner to be bowling today.

 

[talha3]

Ajmal into the attack. Ireland should not be allowed to get more than 170.

 

[Saj]

85 for 6 after 17 overs.

Ireland looking to rebuild with singles.

 

[Saj]

Ajmal picks up his first wicket

85 for 7

Caught behind

[Saj]

[Prince_Pathan]

[slblack]

Younis khan aka shane warne take ones

 

[Saj]

Poor cricket from Ireland, straight to mid wicket.

Early finish today I reckon.

 

[enigmatic_stani]

Younis Khan what a champion...

 

[Nawaf]

[Mohsin]

Alright, let Junaid bowl now and get his Michelle Phiffer...

 

[slblack]

N8 sucks. Much rather have an iphone or galaxy S 2.

 

[Saj]

96 all out

Ajmal takes another, bowled.

 

[A.M.]

hahah ajmal gets 3 no wonder he is 3rd in odi rankings!!

 

[AZ]

its all over!

 

[Sledger]

Junaid at short leg? LOL.

 

[Khan88]

Nice to see Junaid pick up 4!

 

[Ahson8]

r they all out

 

[talha3]

lol 95 all out. great stuff from junaid and as usual ajmal.

 

[Saj]

Such a good start for Ireland, but they threw it away.

They were 44 for 2 but slumped to 96 all out.

A mixture of poor shots and some good bowling.

Junaid was excellent today, really impressive

 

[osee_bhai]

Hurry get enough overs in so the rain doesn't come back and we have an abandoned game!

Good stuff from Junaid!

 

[Saj]

Pakistan innings about to start.

Taufeeq and Hafeez have just walked past me.

 

[Sledger]

Is it an early period of batting before the official interval then?

 

[Afridirocks]

good performance by pak so far

 

[Ahson8]

1 for 0

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shame to see someone of the likes of Junaid just been given a mere 5 overs who took 4 wickets in them not given 1-2 more overs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir shouldn't have bowled more after his initial 2 overs going for 20-25 runs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Oh well I better not start what's happened now has gone so lets look forward to this match getting over!

 

[james_bond]

i hope younis gets some runs today but at the same time i wants pak to win by 10 wickets.

SAJ can you tell us more about younis wicket? was it medium pace or spin

[Deewana Mastana]

If they had to play a test player in the game then they may aswell had selected Azhar Ali instead of Taufeeq Umar.

 

[Saj]

1 run from the first over for Pakistan, no scares.

 

[Saj]

Is it an early period of batting before the official interval then?

Yes break will be in another half an hour.

 

[Hando]

I think it would be better if he doesn't bat at all i you get what i mean

 

[NJamal]

Brilliant bowling by Junaid Khan, deserved to take 5fer but no problem next time.

He was bowling medium pace. Batsman played a rather meek shot straight to the hands of mid wicket.

Wasn't a great piece of bowling but a wicket is a wicket

 

[IAJ]

I really don't like Taufeeq and Hafeez as batsmen. They are too slow. They make ordinary bowlers look good after playing maidens after maidens or almost maidens! I hate tuk tuk/ leave leave cricket!

Really want to see some aggressive openers who put bowlers under preassure!

 

[Saj]

Hafeez and Taufeeq taking things easy here.

5 for 0 from 3 overs

at this rate they will get 50 from 30 overs.

 

[IAJ]

They are rubbish!

 

[Saj]

First boundary of the Pak innings

Pull by Hafeez through midwicket

10 for 0

 

[attock]

I think we need to let these batsman know that this is a 1 day game and not a test match........Look at the difference of the batting approach of the two teams Ireland playing aggressively at the start and Pakistan playing slowly like they are the minnows..........

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Taufeeq and Hafeez still thinking they're playing a test match! 5 runs in nearly 5 overs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Finally a boundary!

 

[duostyle]

Are the conditions difficult or are the batsmen still in test mode?

 

[Gollum]

Are they planning to take 36 overs?

 

[down4whatever]

Pathetic approach by the openers.

 

[qamar84]

no ball

 

[sehsan]

guys they are chasing only 96,why would they be in hurry?

 

[qamar84]

Four

 

[Hando]

I am sure Misbah is to blame for this

 

[attock]

Are the conditions difficult or are the batsmen still in test mode?

From now on all matches will be played like test matches regardless if it is an ODI or 20/20............ This is the policy of our Captain Tuk Tuk

 

[james_bond]

guys they are chasing only 96,why would they be in hurry?

rain might come again to abandon the game

he is the captain, he will be giving instructions to play slow like me. tuk tuk master

[attock]

Will Pakistan be able to make the score without loosing a wicket?????????

 

[IAJ]

guys they are chasing only 96,why would they be in hurry?

They are going at 2.5 chasing 96, is that a good thing?, a nice message you are sending to a "minnow"?

Kiwis would have been 50/0 after 6 overs.

We are thinking of urselves as one of the best cricket teams in the world and look at our openers, they are rubbish!

 

[down4whatever]

Both the openers trying to one up each other in tuk tuk.

 

[Saj]

17 for 0 in the 8th over

Taufeeq playing and missing a few times today.

 

[Boi]

When will our batsmen ever get out of this defensive attitude?

 

[iHammad]

Pakistan RR 2.13

C'mon guys, atleast take 4 single per over.

 

[Saj]

Are the conditions difficult or are the batsmen still in test mode?

Its cloudy and the ball is doing a bit.

 

[kkmix]

Amazing start. No wicket so far.

 

[tauseefm]

WTH are these openers doing? they should've scored 60% runs by now. I am sorry but we are just suck at bating

 

[Saj]

Sixer !

Hafeez pulls one over deep square leg. Big shot

25 for 0

 

[NJamal]

Why are they doing Tuk Tuk?

 

[NJamal]

Great a 6666666666 by Feeza

 

[Amjid Javed]

17 for 0 in the 8th over

Taufeeq playing and missing a few times today.

Really dont understand the logic or the lack off it with opening with Taufeeq in ODIs.

 

[Saj]

Thats the break now

25 for 0 from 9 overs
