Kenya v Pakistan | Quadrangular Series | Nairobi | [04/9/07] PAK WIN

[Saj]

Pakistan should give some of the untried players a chance against Kenya who have lost both their matches so far.

 

[Saj]

Pakistan team

Salman Butt, Imran Nazir, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Fawad Alam, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Abdur Rehman, Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar

Rehman, Alam and Hafeez all given a chance today.

 

[Saj]

Shoaib takes an early wicket. Kenya 5 for 1

 

[Usman Chadda]

Afridi and Asif the notable names being rested for this fixture

Kenya 5/1 already

DO Obuya edges Shoaib to 2nd slip

 

[Usman Chadda]

First over ends. Kenya 5/1

 

[Saj]

Rehman, Alam and Hafeez all given a chance today.

Afridi. Asif and who else has been rested today?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Umar Gul starts off at the other end

Bowling quick according to Cricinfo

 

[Usman Chadda]

Afridi. Asif and who else has been rested today?

Yasir Arafat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Gul bowls a maiden

Kenya 5/1 after 2 overs

Seems like the Pakistani pacemen are too quick for the batsmen

 

[darkmoon459]

maiden over in a 20/20 ,thats awesome.

 

[Saj]

neither batsman off the mark, despite facing 14 balls between them.

 

[tafseer haider]

Kenya 7/2after 3

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib bags another one. Kamande scoops the ball to Sallu at mid on

Kenya 7/2 in 3 overs (and in total disarray)

 

[Shahid A]

8/1it was a no ball lol

 

[Shahid A]

10/2 cricinfo got a lil confused

 

[Usman Chadda]

Collins Obuya is the new man in

Kenya 11/2 in 4 overs

 

[darkmoon459]

crapinfo is confused again

 

[Usman Chadda]

Amazing figures fo both Shoaib and Gul

Umar Gul 2-1-1-0
Shoaib Akhtar 2-0-9-2

 

[Saj]

Collins Obuya, who if I remember correctly had a stint with Warwickshire after a good World Cup (the one before the last one)

 

[darkmoon459]

4.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Mishra, FOUR, driven to long on boundary

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib gets driven to the long-on boundary by Mishra. First authentic boundary of the innings

Kenya 19/2

 

[SpinIsKing]

this is getting ridiculous, shoaib has sent down 5 no balls

 

[darkmoon459]

Shoaib Akhtar (rf) 3.0 0 22 2 7.33 (5nb, 0w) . Shoaib needs to watch NB,5 already ouch.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shoaib has to control his no-ball problem. Free hits can be vey costly in T20 cricket

 

[darkmoon459]

Fawad alam into bowl now.

 

[Saj]

Gul, 3 overs for 7. Impressive stuff.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad Alam to bowl. Thats a pretty wierd decision, bowling him before Abdur Rehman

 

[Saj]

Fawad Alam takes his first international wicket.

32 for 3

 

[darkmoon459]

Abdur Rehman bowling now.

 

[Osman]

Shoaib's economy rate is a concern ... especially given the fact Pakistan are playing against lesser teams like Bangladesh and now against Kenya ... yes he has picked up wickets but in this form of the game a low economy rate for bowlers is crucial too.

 

[Saj]

Rehman strikes in his first over. Akmal with the stumping.

39 for 4

No Tikolo for Kenya today.

 

[darkmoon459]

I don't think Kenya will even score 100 today ,ay be 80-85.

 

[SpinIsKing]

Cricinfo's frozen

 

[Mercenary]

Doesnt look like Fawad Alam will get much batting practise

 

[darkmoon459]

sure is,oh crap.

 

[infamous9383]

LN Onyango st Kamran Akmal b Mohammad Hafeez 4 (8b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

 

[Shahid A]

69/8

 

[Saj]

A dismal performance from the Kenyans without their skipper and best batsman Steve Tikolo.

Ravindu Shah is also not in the current squad, in order to give youngsters a chance.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

17.1 Younis Khan to Bhudia, OUT, bowled on the middle stump attempting to slog out
RL Bhudia b Younis Khan 9 (9b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

 

[Saj]

70 for 9, as Akmal gets his 3rd stumping of the innings

 

[Saj]

I'd open with Fawad and Misbah, just to give them a chance and some practice

 

[Afridi_Fan]

70 for 9, as Akmal gets his 3rd stumping of the innings

I thought that was bolwed

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I'd open with Fawad and Misbah, just to give them a chance and some practice

Just Imagine Misbah getting a Golden Duck

 

[Saj]

Just Imagine Misbah getting a Golden Duck

if he does, then he'd better go into hiding

 

[Amjid Javed]

Kenya are a mere shadow of a team of yesteryear which use to be decently competative.

This tourney for pakistan should have been all about experiementing and looking to work at certain plans.

 

[Saj]

92 all out.

Younis Khan takes 3 wickets.

 

[infamous9383]

92 all out. Younis Khan the star performer with the ball

 

[Afridi_Fan]

if he does, then he'd better go into hiding

I wonder there is no Inzy then behind whom Misbah wwill get a place?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

19.4 Younis Khan to Ongondo, OUT, flighted ball that is spooned to Rehman at long ff to take the catch and finish off Kenya
PJ Ongondo c Abdur Rehman b Younis Khan 16 (7b 1x4 1x6) SR: 228.57

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Will Pakistan be fined for slow over rate?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like Younis Khan has filled his boots today with the ball.

I agree with Saj those who havent had much time in middle should bat today chasing this lowish total.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I agree with Saj those who havent had much time in middle should bat today chasing this lowish total.

Malik was forced to bring on Spinners due to slow over-rate,remember its 20/20 only 75 minutes/innings and pakistan didnt finish in time

 

[pak4life]

thanks to yorkshire for giving confidence to younis to bowl again after the nitemare of craig mcmillan!

 

[Saj]

I really dont understand the logic of Malik opening today.

Malik and Hafeez open

 

[CricnPak]

malik and hafeez opening

 

[CricnPak]

I really dont understand the logic of Malik opening today.

Well I can understand that Malik would want to spend more time at the crease as he isn't in full batting form yet. I mean, with the likes of younis khan and 2 other guys ahead of him, how else would he get a chance to bat.

 

[Saj]

nice footy formation from Hafeez there, 4-4-2

 

[Saj]

Well I can understand that Malik would want to spend more time at the crease as he isn't in full batting form yet. I mean, with the likes of younis khan and 2 other guys ahead of him, how else would he get a chance to bat.

He had a chance last match and wasted it.

perfect opportunity to blood Alam and give him some confidence.

 

[infamous9383]

Hafeez gone

 

[Saj]

Hafeez gone, caught at mid on.

Misbah walks in, with his team in trouble

 

[Mohsin]

Misbah in test mode here

 

[sohaib17]

2 fours by malik

coming in form

 

[sohaib17]

misbah wasted 6 balls not yet off the mark


ergggggggggggg

 

[Mohsin]

well i suppose its a good chance for Misbah to spend some time out there in the middle, with the run-rate not being a problem at all
