Ireland v Pakistan [Group D/Match 9] - Updates

[saffer]

it's not a green top....it's a good batting wicket....the guys are bowling gentle swingers and it's finding the edge...

 

[slix10]

at some of the comments...

68/5

 

[faisalm]

ahh.. looks like another Rebuilding Drama after this world cup. Here u go..

Inzi is clearly finished and Younis should be kicked out the ODI team with Malik being made captain. Get rid of the useless Nazir also.

 

[12thMan]

2 wides in the over
Pak 68-5 after 19 overs

 

[Imy]

Are you seeing the wicket its a 130 wicket. its bouncing, seaming both ways

 

[Kamranz]

i think i am going nuts right now.. if pakistan loses this game i will break inzis nuts..

) ) )

 

[Saj]

Feelin Hot plays on the ground music system and the Pak team must certainly be feellin a little hot under the collar.

 

[Sabika]

i fell so scared for tehm
whats going to happen to them when they get to the Qaud-e0Azam internatonal airport
shudder
this must be the worst performance we have had in years
and it sucks becuse its against ireland

 

[iafzal]

well imnot going to say the team sucks
because it deosnt
but it really lets you down

You are right but when it is letting you down there is huge sucking noise coming just like right now.

 

[saffer]

how will changes help ?

you guys are always insisting this is the most talented side who no-one can beat on their good days.....and in the same breath you then always calling for them to all be fired...

strange thinking...just forget the nonsense ...one partnership will guarantee you a win ...

 

[Mo.]

it's not a green top....it's a good batting wicket....the guys are bowling gentle swingers and it's finding the edge...

have you even seen the pitch? its more green than ireland and pakistans kit put together

 

[faisalm]

sadly, we will win this match because irelands batting will not score much but we deserve to lose.

You want Pakistan to go out? Why? This performance will bring about the end of Inzi, Nazir.

 

[ahsan17]

There must be some disposing off done after this tournament. Start off by sending off Inzi and getting rid of YK from ODI side. Invest in some new talent rather than going back to players who have been tried and tested.

 

[dost]

pakistan dont have any plan they are just picking their batting lineup randomly.... mera khayal hai ka inzi ki jis par nazar phele par jati hai inzi usay opener baj deta hai..it look like that cause till yestarday they were saying that malik will one down oropen with kami or nazir............

 

[Saj]

it's not a green top....it's a good batting wicket....the guys are bowling gentle swingers and it's finding the edge...

Are you seriously watching it ? There is a healthy grass covering. Listen to Cozier.

The commentators have just said that they have never seen so much grass on the pitch here - ever !

 

[slix10]

18.4 T Johnston to Malik, wide, again a wide down the leg side, imagine if they wouldn't have bowled these extras, Pakistan would have been reeling at 49/5!!!

lol.

 

[Sabika]

so how is irelands batting lineup
can we get a tie
or- heaven forbid- a win in this game

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

sadly, we will win this match because irelands batting will not score much but we deserve to lose.

they have some decent players in their side, getting two an over wont be hard.

 

[iafzal]

Even commentators are surprised at the amount of grass.

There should be a question asked why so much grass?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

how will changes help ?

you guys are always insisting this is the most talented side who no-one can beat on their good days.....and in the same breath you then always calling for them to all be fired...

strange thinking...just forget the nonsense ...one partnership will guarantee you a win ...

Dude, you are the biggest exaggerator around here and furthermore you constantly flip flop on your positions.

 

[Sabika]

well if teh pitchis so bad yousuf was looking pretty convincing on it

 

[His_Excellence_]

Well Bobs expressions said it all about how much he likes Nazir, even before he got out.

 

[Saj]

btw Jimmy Adams is a local man and he says he's never seen this much grass on a Sabina park wicket.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

I'm sure it's just the Irish man support in BRA's that is proving too intense for our Mullahs to take.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Even commentators are surprised at the amount of grass.

There should be a question asked why so much grass?

the pitch is the same for both sides, they cant take that as a excuse, this is poor batting by the pakistanis.

 

[aamir]

it's not a green top....it's a good batting wicket....the guys are bowling gentle swingers and it's finding the edge...

There is a ton of grass on the pitch, as Dujon is just saying this ground has never had so much grass on the pitch in 70 years. Why?

 

[saffer]

if it is such a death trap of a pitch ...then you should be happy...ireland will struggle ...

although as I said......the south african and australian players will like the bounce on the pitch...

 

[Usman]

Had a county team played Ireland today they would not have been in such mess! We have supposedly "the big three" but what is the point of having them if they make a combined score of 16 against one of the most rubbish teams in World Cricket. For God sake Ireland aren't even the best of the minnows!

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Sorry Majestic INZI, but INZI has to be dropped.

 

[purplehaze]

Balling figures : A Botha 5-4-1-2

Is he a McGrath in disguise?

 

[Mo.]

Ireland are used to grassy pitches. they wont struggle on this.

 

[Sabika]

the pitch is the same for both sides, they cant take that as a excuse, this is poor batting by the pakistanis.

dont forget the irish havnt come out yet
and if the pitch is so bad then we should win this game
it would be an excuse after we lose but right now the irish have some work to do on this pitch
if it is aas bad as you say

 

[azfar wali]

four runs

 

[Saj]

4 to Malik. Straight drive for 4. Nice timing

 

[saffer]

the grass is there to make the pitch faster...which means bigger scores 9in theory) ....it is seeming and swinging around...but I think bad batting is a big part of this...and not the pitch so much...

 

[Bilsher007]

Disgraceful performance so far ....from Pakistan team, had PCB prepared tracks like these more often in pakistan for international matches than our batsmen would have been more accustomed to playing on green tops.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Why is everyone so suprised?

Pakistan has always had a tendency to struggle against slow medium pacers on esp when the ball is swinging.

Frigging problem is Ireland are full of them.

Malik scores a boundary 72-5.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Botha is 2 for 1 after 5 overs - we are making this fella look like McGrath

 

[<< Rashid >>]

And OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Wtffff Is Ogoing Sonfashgfsadghadhgadghadghaerghdaghasghdaghadrhgadhgsha G 6 Down

 

[Saj]

[Mo.]

[tauseefm]

Sorry Majestic INZI, but INZI has to be dropped.

pakistan har gaya .. pakistan har gaya .. pakistan har gaya

 

[Sabika]

malik seems to be the only player in this team these days
poor man
even my dad was admitting to this just yesterday

 

[Rob H]

Oh dear another down.

 

[Lightning]

Commies saying they've never seen so much grass here. Why Pak always gets this? Who is ing charge of preparing pitches?


Oh god now Malik gone...

 

[saffer]

[arsal_pakfan]

[Bilsher007]

****ing heell... now pakistan has lost shoaib malik..72/6,.... i don't think we can win this match Impossible !

 

[azfar wali]

[arsal_pakfan]

[Sabika]

[w4s1m786]

[offcutter]

Is that it for Pakistan? Please Allah save us.....

Azhar "I look like Wasim Akram" Mahmood will save the day inshaAllah

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow. Wow. Just wow.

 

[saffer]

botha played some first class cricket in south africa...he's no mgrath but decent....

 

[Saj]

the grass is there to make the pitch faster...which means bigger scores 9in theory) ....it is seeming and swinging around...but I think bad batting is a big part of this...and not the pitch so much...

Grass assists in the swing and seam mate.

 

[12thMan]

Malik out ct behind
Pak 72-6 after 20.3 overs

 

[faisalm]

Malik gone. That was the final nail in our coffin. It's embarrassing!

 

[azfar wali]

next batsman azhar mahmood

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

haha...i don't believe this...i have tickets for super 8 to go see paksitan....very nice

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Sorry Majestic INZI, but INZI has to be dropped.

nah, the whole infrastructure of pakistan cricket has to be changed, get rid of that Bari, get in paid selectors and alter the pitches in pakistan. so players can play on bouncy slow pitches.

malik out...

 

[Ilyas]

This was predicted by many that Pakistanis will struggle against Irish, ever since Ireland had South Africa at 90 odd runs and 8 wickets down in the practice match...

Mohammad Sami and Umar Gul will have to be bowling with full cylinders on...

 

[Sabika]

all right THATS IT
this pitch needs to be inspected
what are these irish pacers anyways
how can all of them be doing so well
its all in teh pitch then
wait for out bowling
this may be a thriller
the irish havnt faced teh pitch yet and their pacers are ntohing special
i cant wait for them to come out and play

 

[tauseefm]

I AM SORRY TO SAY Beared culture should be banned from pakistani team. i am so p issed
i am maddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[IM NOT YOU]

To Whom It May Concern,

After Your Display Of Cricket Today, Please Do Not Go Home. Your Health Is In Danger

 

[Usman]

There is a ton of grass on the pitch, as Dujon is just saying this ground has never had so much grass on the pitch in 70 years. Why?

I don't care if there are snakes on the pitch, the point is this is a horrific batting performance no matter what! If they are falling like flies to some of the most gentle pacers in the world, then how would they be fairing against Pollock or McGrath on such a pitch. I'm sorry but I do not feel that anything at the minute can justify the disgraceful performance that we are watching today; and what makes it worse is the fact that we have just come from SA so we should have LEARNED how to handle such a pitch.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i don't even have words to describe my disappointment instead i am laughing

 

[ahsan17]

After this humiliation, Pakistan team shall not be allowed to return to Pakistan except a few players. This team has done all it can to humiliate the nation.

 

[arsal_pakfan]

Azhar has to bring all the experience of his life on playing seaming wickets of England ...show us ur worth Azhar..u will get the Presidency of Pakistan if u save us here

 

[Sabika]

yeah ther will be riots if they lose
pacers get ready to save you team for mortal peril

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

I AM SORRY TO SAY Beared culture should be banned from pakistani team. i am so p issed
i am maddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

shut up, nothing to do with that..

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Can Akmal do a Karachi?

 

[iZeeshan]

Pakistan loses for sure, by 10 wickets.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

come on azhar and akmal, time for you guys to perform...

 

[Sabika]

the team will have to become like bin laden and hide if we lose
underground

irish have not faced pitch yet though

another wicket yet?

 

[Cric-PhotoPassionate]

Sorry Majestic INZI, but INZI has to be dropped.

I think Mullahism should be removed from team as well. Since tabligh took control of their mind Pakistan is down in drain. I seen no fighting sprit in this team and turned into chicken team from passionate one.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Yes Religion and sport should not be intertwined.

 

[SameerAhmad]

Yeah, wrong time for Pakistanis to screw up...theyre really gonna hear it when they come back as the pathetic performers they have become.

 

[saffer]

what is beared culture ?

I can guess...but I'd like to hear it explained by a pakistani ...
