[aamir]

[SUPERSAMI]

[iafzal]

It seems it is over they are coming off because of bad light and light rain

 

[Sabika]

[12thMan]

The match will continue tomorrow if no more play is possible today.

not according to commentators Mogambo and Rambo
they said they will not be back tomorrow as 20 overs have been played

 

[pacman]

The match will continue tomorrow if no more play is possible today.

No Saj, if no more play possible today, Ireland win D/L method.

 

[Sabika]

does it continue tomorrow

 

[Saj]

The match will continue tomorrow if no more play is possible today.

Nope, they've just said that they will not come back tomorrow as more than 20 overs have been bowled in the Ireland innings

 

[Daoud]

The match will continue tomorrow if no more play is possible today.

Thank God for that.
Lets hope some juice spills into the pitch and Gul pitches the ball up

 

[Saj]

Just to clarify folks.

No more play today and Ireland win the match ! There will be no play tomorrow.

 

[Sparhawk]

hafeez looks devastated, as does gul, and the commie says inzi is wiping tears... this is a sad day for pakistan cricket.

 

[Sparhawk]

play to resume in 7 mins they say.

 

[ZM]

play to resume in 5mins
please Allah save us

 

[Saj]

Play is due to commence allegedly in 7 minutes time.

Runs and overs will of course be reduced.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

It is like a nightmare, I can't imagine what you guys are going through

 

[jattafridi]

pakistan lose again what a shame

 

[Sabika]

hafeez looks devastated, as does gul, and the commie says inzi is wiping tears... this is a sad day for pakistan cricket.

oh my god what a horribl;e scene
the players must be blaming themselves and this was inzi's last world cup maybe his last match
its disgraceful they must be blaming themselves for doing this to us and themselves

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

From somewhere somehow Pakistan have to get 2 wickets as ASAP.

 

[metallicamatty]

This is great! Go Ireland!

I haven't been here in ages guys, but, as soon as Pakistan was being thrashed by minnows, I had to come here!

Play resuming in about 2 minutes, for Ireland to knock off thses high power Pakis!

 

[Sabika]

Play is due to commence allegedly in 7 minutes time.

Runs and overs will of course be reduced.

greeeaaat even less time for wickets
it is all lost i think now
poor inzimam

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

is it all over?

 

[cinderella]

nope, covers are off, play gonna start again in couple mins.

 

[Saj]

The body language is appalling from the Pak team

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

91/4 now beautiful cut from Niall

 

[Safar55]

need 128 from 47 overs (revised DL)

currently 91 for 4

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Apart from Sami the bowlers have looked toothless.

 

[Sabika]

The body language is appalling from the Pak team

cant blame them they are to becomethe first team to be disqualified from this world cup if they lose
poor chaps

 

[Saj]

Ireland need 36 to win from 94 balls and are ahead on the D/L method.

Pak need a couple of wickets from somewhere - where, I dont know !

 

[Sabika]

Apart from Sami the bowlers have looked toothless.

and one man can only do so much

 

[akpower]

Yeah thats what Cricinfo is saying. Body language is poor, i dunno why though. Now that play is resumed at least they can now try to achieve something. Stranger things have happened, but they wont here because the Pak team has resigned.

 

[161]

Ireland need 36 to win from 94 balls and are ahead on the D/L method.

Pak need a couple of wickets from somewhere - where, I dont know !

maybe inzi should bowl a bit of his SLA.

 

[Sabika]

lets get a hatrick shall we

 

[Shehryar]

This is painful

 

[SUPERSAMI]

pathetic wide by azhar, this is sad

 

[161]

body language is poor from poor leadership ofcourse.

 

[akpower]

cant blame them they are to becomethe first team to be disqualified from this world cup if they lose
poor chaps

Poor chaps? Shame on them, no one but themselves are to blame.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

4 more. Kevin with 4 through 3rd man

 

[ahaPassion]

My be Kami needs to bowl

 

[Shehryar]

Game over

 

[saffer]

hard to watch guys.....I feel so sorry for the pakistani players...

 

[SUPERSAMI]

I wonder how bob/inzi will blame akhtar for this loss.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

and azhar beats him outside the off. 98/4

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

30 from 91

 

[MIG]

Sad sad day for a proud nation. With all the turmoil at home, some good news could have cheered the nation up - but alas, it is not to be.

Well done to Ireland.

 

[Sabika]

Poor chaps? Shame on them, no one but themselves are to blame.

true but now that theyhave made a mess of themselves they are to be pitied
i wish we had won the toss

 

[saffer]

hatrick wont help...they will still be ahead...and besides...if a wicket or two fall they will offer the light

game over....

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan needs Rana today but people have forced him out

 

[SUPERSAMI]

30 from 91 to lose

 

[Shehryar]

Azhar must be quite used to losing to ireland by now,lol

 

[Saj]

hard to watch guys.....I feel so sorry for the pakistani players...

I'm more embarassed than feeling sorry for them. Their batting today was atrocious and the bowlers have not bowled the right length.

 

[Saj]

Rao bowling junk here. Half trackers on the off stump.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Azhar was thrashed that day by the boys. He holds no fears for us.

 

[12thMan]

hatrick wont help...they will still be ahead...and besides...if a wicket or two fall they will offer the light

game over....

I think the D/L score goes up if wickets fall. but Ireland only need 30 runs now

But Jerling thought of that and didn't give players out early in the innings.

 

[Alibhai]

hard to watch guys.....I feel so sorry for the pakistani players...

Why?

Feel sorry for the fans, not the players.

1 had control over the outcome today, and it wasn't the fans.

 

[the_game]

I'm more embarassed than feeling sorry for them. Their batting today was atrocious and the bowlers have not bowled the right length.

Saj, shut down the forums for a day or two. I don't feel like talking about cricket for days right now .

 

[Shehryar]

Is this we waited for 4 years? to watch

 

[MIG]

I wonder how bob/inzi will blame akhtar for this loss.

If he hadnt embroiled himself in the drugs fiasco, we could have made it through today - yes we should all blame ALL member of the team and management.

 

[Sabika]

is this the worst pakistan have done in world cups ever or can there be a worse defeat

 

[saffer]

sense of humour guys...that's the only way.....I know how it felt when south africa got kicked out the last world cup in the first round....


but life goes on.....

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Never over until it is over. All Ireland fans know that! From Kenya and now last game v Zim.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Its fitting that it ends this way for a man who wanted to miss the 92 semi final with a tummy ache.

 

[pakistani_banda]

people we have lost this match

 

[offcutter]

A wake up call for Pakistan cricket. The biggest wake up call we have ever had in our cricket history.
Bangladesh has a better system than us.
We have to change our domestic structure.
We have to make a lot of changes.
Don't just blame the current team.

 

[saffer]

by duckworth lewis you need 4 wickets now for no runs to win...


but I can promise you...if a few wickets fall they will offer the light....they have to ...it's dark out there...

 

[Shehryar]

Commmmonnnnnnn Pakistan one last effort ,
or it,s

THE END

 

[KB]

29 needed.

The word bollox seems to spring to mind

 

[161]

If he hadnt embroiled himself in the drugs fiasco, we could have made it through today - yes we should all blame ALL member of the team and management.

If we hadn't needlessly tested them and gone public with this whole tamasha - Shoaib and Asif based on mathematical odds would never have been caught by the ICC !!!

oh BTW do recall who initiated the drug testing and take a guess to what his motive was for it.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

Dont agree about system.

Ireland doesnt have a national domestic league competition. Northern Ireland doesnt even have one. Any proposals are opposed by the dinosaurs who want to keep cricket here amateur.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

why they dont try slower balls to counter the nudged singles is beyond me.

Almost all of Ireland runs have come from nudged singles.

 

[12thMan]

Malik Cheetah to bowl

 

[Saj]

Instead of trying to hurry the game up and get the overs in before the light intervenes, the Pak players continue to mable around and take their time.

 

[Shehryar]

Malik on,lol they have given up,

 

[ahaPassion]

Cricket is a game of passion. Don't you see the whole team is non-serious and playing with no motivation. I always feel it's up to your captain how he brings out the best from his players' skills, but you don't see in here.

 

[Abdul Qadir 236]

2 runs - 100 up

 

[Sabika]

A wake up call for Pakistan cricket. The biggest wake up call we have ever had in our cricket history.
Bangladesh has a better system than us.
We have to change our domestic structure.
We have to make a lot of changes.
Don't just blame the current team.

youknow aht youre right
everything is planned and happens for a reason
this is because we need to wake up
the pcb needs to get their head out of thier **** and start getting organised
we need to stop blaming so much onteh team
this has happned for a reason

 

[Rob H]

Ireland cruising home now. Cheerio Pakistan.

 

[OZGOD]

This will be an incredible result if Ireland can get these 29 runs. It'll be well-deserved, too - what an amazing performance to bowl out Pakistan for 132! You can't help but be happy for them.

 

[OZGOD]

Nearly a 4, but saved.

 

[Shehryar]

Finish this torture quickly now.
