Ireland vs Pakistan | 2nd ODI | Dublin | 26/5/13 |

[HASHAM2]

Asad is best fielder in Our team

 

[Sherlock]

Kamran does not inspire confidence in the bowlers.Surely,he has had enough chances!!!!!!!!!1

True, a bit like Wahab, huh?

 

[Bullet Drive]

WOW. Thaat has to be some of the best fielding I've ever seen

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Kamran does not inspire confidence in the bowlers.Surely,he has had enough chances!!!!!!!!!1

and here comes the wahab lover! stop giving excuses, a certain debutant bowled much better today with the same keeper rather than the 'experienced at 10RPO' wahab!

 

[asif9138]

outttttttttttt

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Really impressed by Ireland. They have some talent and if nurtured properly, they could be one of the top teams in 4-5 years.

 

[Sherlock]

O'Brian is gone

5 Down.

 

[talha3]

Rehman strikes. Dangerous KOB gone.

 

[alberto]

Brilliant fielding by Shafiq!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bullet Drive]

good catch

 

[HASHAM2]

Kevin Gone Finaly

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shannon the debut man to come in

 

[azimiqbal]

lets keep them under 220

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan relying on canny spinners yet again........

 

[akamaka]

wow superman like dive that from shafiq , definitely best ground fielder in the current team.

 

[asif9138]

abdul rehman strikes

 

[talha3]

Really impressed by Ireland. They have some talent and if nurtured properly, they could be one of the top teams in 4-5 years.

Yep. They just don't get enough opportunities to play against the top teams. I can't remember anyone else out of the top 8 teams going to play Ireland in Ireland.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ireland will be looking for around 250

 

[AsadMalik]

Anyone expecting to see Wahab Riaz in any of the Champions Trophy matches?

 

[asif9138]

good over by abdul rehman

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Yep. They just don't get enough opportunities to play against the top teams. I can't remember anyone else out of the top 8 teams going to play Ireland in Ireland.

ICC should make a rule that if teams want to play England in England, they at least have to tour Ireland for 2-3 ODIs.

 

[HASHAM2]

Ire 181/5`
42 over,s

 

[IAJ]

Yep. They just don't get enough opportunities to play against the top teams. I can't remember anyone else out of the top 8 teams going to play Ireland in Ireland.

Both England and Australia have been there in recent times.

 

[talha3]

Hafeez has bowled very well again. Definitely our most consistent spinner (and bowler) at the moment. There is a reason why the rankings have him so high.

 

[asif9138]

joyce wating for his 100..will hurt irland

 

[parwezzkhan]

jane kya hoga ................

 

[HASHAM2]

Good Over,s by Hafeez and rehman

 

[HASHAM2]

we need Ed wicket here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Big shout not out

 

[asif9138]

outttttttt hafeez gets 100th wicket

 

[WebGuru]

Shannon OUT

 

[HASHAM2]

Hafeez Strike

 

[talha3]

Both England and Australia have been there in recent times.

Both went there for only one ODI. Australia's was washed out and England's was very rain-affected (and close).

Pakistan have played 2 odis against them both times. IMO it's the least Ireland deserve after performing well in both world cups.

 

[WebGuru]

100 Wickets for Hafeez in 118 Matches.

 

[Bullet Drive]

100 ODI wickets

 

[talha3]

ICC should make a rule that if teams want to play England in England, they at least have to tour Ireland for 2-3 ODIs.

Agreed. Especially when most teams who tour England play a number of warm ups against county sides. Some of these could (and should) be replaced by Ireland ODIs.

 

[asif9138]

again good spell by hafeez!

 

[uberkoen]

out

 

[parwezzkhan]

JNK Shannon b Mohammad Hafeez 2 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

 

[talha3]

I think Hafeez can get at least 100 more ODI wickets in his career. He bowls a lot more than he did early on in his career.

 

[HASHAM2]

scorecard has stoped
Out or Four

 

[shakil]

^ Bangladesh whitewashed Ireland in their home turf last year

 

[HASHAM2]

It is OUT
7 Down

 

[parwezzkhan]

DT Johnston lbw b Abdur Rehman 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

 

[AsadMalik]

They should really play Ajmal and Rehman at the same time during the CT, regardless of the pitch. Junaid should be first pick seamer.

 

[Bullet Drive]

4 to Rehman

 

[HASHAM2]

8th down
ire 189/8
need Ed Wicket

 

[HASHAM2]

***
Malik bowling
and Four

 

[Bullet Drive]

Shoaib Malik bowling the 46th over. What a joke from Misbah

 

[endymion248]

Sick of spin feists. Ajmal and Hafeez should be the only spinners.

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[HASHAM2]

Ire 204/8
47 over,s
220 Target

 

[Bullet Drive]

Spinners bowling last overs fcosting PAK again. Misbah dont learn

 

[Bullet Drive]

 

[parwezzkhan]

misbah is great ................when comes to chose the bowlers always relay on spin

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last 3 overs. Ireland looking for 30

 

[endymion248]

That was some charsix

 

[IAJ]

What poor Death bowling by Junaid in these two matches. He was better before that stupid camp

 

[parwezzkhan]

juned pls bowl some yorkers

 

[HASHAM2]

Egde again

 

[endymion248]

Is it me or Junaid's confidence and body language are nothing like before Indian tour?

 

[HASHAM2]

230 Target now

 

[HASHAM2]

Is it me or Junaid's confidence and body language are nothing like before Indian tour?

What can junaid do now
Edge edge edge edge edge edge edge

 

[endymion248]

''Pehle Baar Irelaaaaaaaaaaand say kela aur Misbah nay yorker se manaaaaaaaaa kar diya'?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Junaid is a proven coward bruised thigh time to drop him

 

[AsadMalik]

Feel bad for Junaid

 

[Bullet Drive]

Misbah is a useless captain.

 

[endymion248]

Poor fielding, again.

 

[Bilal7]

Now Junaid knows how Ishant feels!

 

[I Believe in the Teesra]

What poor Death bowling by Junaid in these two matches. He was better before that stupid camp

 

[parwezzkhan]

i dont know how many runs come through edge but misbah didnt relies to put a slip ..........if its 50 over so what

 

[Bilal7]

Is it me or Junaid's confidence and body language are nothing like before Indian tour?

When you get edged 2562562 times in a single match, your confidence does tend to drop slightly.

 

[HASHAM2]

Asad Ali first Odi performance for Asad
10 over,s 22 run,s 1 Wicket

 

[endymion248]

Asad Ali shining both sides of the ball

 

[Osman]

rubbish excuse about edges...if u bowl length when batsman r swinging of course you will go for runs edges or not...thats why u bowl full and straight....asad ali impressive - showing hows its done....length at start in seaming conditions....full and straight at the death

 

[Osman]

dont know why this obsession of junaid to bowl short all the time....

 

[Bilal7]

Misbah is a useless captain.

Aww, you still mad cause Umar isn't playing?

Pretty sad that people chose to support a single player instead of their team.

 

[HASHAM2]

Junaid strike 2nd Wikcet

 

[Bilal7]

rubbish excuse about edges...if u bowl length when batsman r swinging of course you will go for runs edges or not...thats why u bowl full and straight....asad ali impressive - showing hows its done....length at start in seaming conditions....full and straight at the death

What? If the edges had carried to the slips, to Akmal or the stumps then Junaid would have had a fifer by now. Extremely unlucky right in this match.

 

[Sherlock]

Asad Ali ahead of Wahab in the CT now, me thinks.

He can swing the ball both ways, can control it and also a very good death bowler.

All of which the latter isn't.
