[thurkeebaba]

Chaps, I've just got in - had no idea what was going on.. I dont need to say how shocked I am right now.. Can someone summarise this match in few lines, whats the pitch like.. Who got out playing stupid shots etc... What are the experts saying about this pitch, what should be good score??

Many Thanks.

 

[Sparhawk]

there goes another one, it wasnt really the pitch which caused it.

 

[desidudecool]

that is one stupid shot.so many overs left

 

[Shahid A]

dum dum dum azhar!!

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Poor shot by Azhar, a 50 from Sami is badly needed!

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

f***** hell!!
just when we were getting going,

 

[ali kc]

man what stupidity by azhar.....*** is he thinkin...

20 overs left ...last recognized pair .

 

[iafzal]

Why did he play this NOOOO need at all.

What ever slack he gets for this shot is less.

These are the moments in time that seperate men from boys, heroes from stars, and legends from lore.

Kammi beta, shabaash!

I believe in you!

(please ignore everything i've thought over the last 12 months)

 

[faisalm]

there goes another one, it wasnt really the pitch which caused it.

It is a lack of common sense.

 

[SameerAhmad]

Well done Azhar, brilliant shot to cap your comeback...NOT!

 

[Kamran]

i just got back from work and saw the scorecard, what the hell happend?is the pitch unplayable or something?

 

[Sabika]

what a great st patricks day
what great luck with the toss and stuff

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Pakistan should not come to Pakistan for atleast if they loose i can see a whole load of demos happening in Pak tomorrow morning ..

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

If Pakistan lose today, and you were part of WI team would you lose to Ireland on purpose? That will knock Paksitan out one less team for WI to worry about in Super 8

If Pak loses today, they are out full stop. Not sure what you're getting at.

 

[Sabika]

i just got back from work and saw the scorecard, what the hell happend?is the pitch unplayable or something?

yes pitch baad

 

[purplehaze]

The sorrow of seeing Indian score board is getting compensated by joy of seeing Pakistan one.
It would be good for fans of both team to follow other's match from here on

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Now i know why Azhar hasn't been in the team, the past two years.

 

[Noman]

i just got back from work and saw the scorecard, what the hell happend?is the pitch unplayable or something?

the pitch is unplayable for Pakistan.

 

[Shahid A]

if we lose this which we wont

are we out the world cup no matter what happens?

 

[sunny92]

damn man what is with this team and pulling

we are losing

on the bright side indians are too

 

[faisalm]

i just got back from work and saw the scorecard, what the hell happend?is the pitch unplayable or something?

No. If you look at top of the page you will see that the team batting is Pakistan. Need i say more?

 

[Noman]

these Ireland batsman are good against bounce bowling..

 

[Bilsher007]

Azhar gone after facing 21 balls for his 2 runs !.. 104/ 7 !!!

 

[iafzal]

if it were not for the wides where will we be?

 

[Sabika]

if we lose this which we wont

are we out the world cup no matter what happens?

yes i think so

 

[Alibhai]

If Pakistan lose today, and you were part of WI team would you lose to Ireland on purpose? That will knock Paksitan out one less team for WI to worry about in Super 8

If Pakistan lose today, there is no chance for the team to advance.

If WI lose then Zim have 1 win and 1 tie.

If WI win, they have 2 wins.

There is no strategy involed for WI's game w/ Ireland if Ireland wins today.

 

[Noman]

Now i know why Azhar hasn't been in the team, the past two years.

well he has the talent, but because he is so fat, he cant concentrate.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Extra is the second highest scorer at 23

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Cheers Yar Brilliant

[Sparhawk]

not a bad idea actually.

but i think we're still in this, first target is 135, sami has the knack of getting some boundaries when its needed. All is not lost.

 

[Saj]

105 for 8. Akmal gone.

Lousy pull shot, good catch.

 

[faisalm]

Akmal gone!! NO!!!!!

 

[Bilsher007]

Guys ..i hate to be bearer of bad news but kamran is out too !!! PAkistan 105 /8 PA?THETIC

 

[12thMan]

akmal out
105-8

 

[Noman]

cricket is a funny game... especially not for our Pakistanis.

 

[Sabika]

alright so final score 120

 

[SUPERSAMI]

retarded shot by akmal, 8 down for 105

 

[Shahid A]

yes i think so

DAM!!!
CRAP HEADS!

 

[desidudecool]

cant believe how dumb these people are. 20 overs left.they have gotten out playing that pull shot on easier wickets in south africa.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

if we lose this which we wont

are we out the world cup no matter what happens?

Yes.

 

[Vegitto1]

score plz

 

[iafzal]

it was raining lightly but now it is sunny again

 

[iafzal]

112/8 35 overs

 

[iafzal]

114/8 35 overs

 

[Sabika]

ok we need like 2 runs an over these tail enders need to think they are tailenders and nothing else and keep their shots away

 

[classic]

ok folks extras are now the second highest score

 

[Sabika]

i dont mind the extras they are good for us
im glad its not us wiht all the extras

 

[classic]

another wide...hopefully the wides will take us to 160..another 20 odd to go

 

[iafzal]

I have to take this time and thank our 2nd highest scorer Wides..
They have been very helpful in this difficult time.

Wides at 22 right now.

 

[Sabika]

these wides are showing what kind of bowlers we are facing
how is teh pitch seems to be easing
our pacers may still help

 

[Sabika]

who is on next

 

[iafzal]

Who was batting when SA went from 92/8 to 192.
Must be Hall?

 

[classic]

another wide...19 to go...

 

[Sabika]

hew our bowling attcack is good
no ranna naveed to give away more than half the runs
so we shoudlfight back well untill teh last fewovers
early wickets are key
inzi needs to tell his bowlers taht

 

[Sabika]

Who was batting when SA went from 92/8 to 192.
Must be Hall?

it was

 

[161]

hmmmmn if we get 3 wides per over for the last 15 overs we will get to 150.

the batsmen have to just stay not out

 

[slix10]

Is the pitch easing up? It better not after we are 8 down...

Go away sun.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Extra needs to bat up the order, his 28 at the opening slot would have changed the game.

 

[Sabika]

lol
wides are the campions
woohoo
now we need to make sure we dont give them away

 

[cricketcrazy]

hmmmmn if we get 3 wides per over for the last 15 overs we will get to 150.

the batsmen have to just stay not out

and that's the biggest problem

 

[Bailan]

Who will be open with ... come ireland's innings?

I'd say Azhar & Gul should open, use the conditions.

Sami first change .... Rao second change ... all except Sami will use the conditions greatly to our advantage.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

4 by sami 120/8

 

[Sabika]

i think rao and gul need to open
they did well and we need early wickets before the pitch becomes battable

 

[SUPERSAMI]

4 for Sami, he has a better technique than inzi these days

 

[iafzal]

Extra needs to bat up the order, his 28 at the opening slot would have changed the game.

I was thinking the same...

How about that coveted #3 spot we are always fighting about between YK and Malik.

 

[Sabika]

lol
the pitch must be easing

 

[vandermadaveg]

Damn! World cup finals between Ireland and Bangladesh

 

[Bilsher007]

i am proud to say we r coming home.. mashallah i am preparing ganday Eggs and Tamater

Wel i might have to join you and prepare the ganday eggs and tamatater for bob woolmer.

I don't know how pakistan will survive this now

 

[Alibhai]

These are the moments in time that seperate men from boys, heroes from stars, and legends from lore.

Kammi beta, shabaash!

I believe in you!

(please ignore everything i've thought over the last 12 months)

[Sabika]

lol that would be awesome

 

[purplehaze]

Another 30 more runs for Pakistan and I can see them under safe zone.

 

[slix10]

lol
the pitch must be easing

NOooooooooo.

We need 175+ then.

 

[IM NOT YOU]

give the new ball to sami and let him do his thing.

 

[iafzal]

Yes pitch is not doing what it was doing an hour ago.

Could be the old ball but also could be that moisture is out of the grass.
If there is a light drizzle it may help us to put some moisture back in.

We will have to make big inroads in the first 10-15 overs if we have to have the chance to win

 

[SUPERSAMI]

haha, i think leg bye would be an ideal 3
