[pakistan_pride1]

[AZ]

how are u stil in pp, if the light is out??

Blackberry.

 

[*sallu*]

Should take the batting PP now, Afridi Razzaq don't need it anyways

 

[TigerJat]

need to score at about 6+ per over from here on out, adn then about 8-10 in the last 10 overs

 

[adzzy786]

Were in a better position before Misbah happened.

Yeah at 56/3 We were in the drivers seat wernt we?

From Cricinfo--

Owais Noorani: "Misbah is killing the momentum of the inning, it may not hurt us in this match but down the road it will. He has a very negative approach towards batting, start slow, slowly build your inning and then hit your way out in the end. Works for him but not for team, you need someone like Mohammad Yousuf or Asad Shafiq who can keep ticking the scoreboard and build momentum for the grand Finale"

So true!

 

[Looney]

Well you cant really 'make' a duck lol

ask and it CAN be made ............ and eaten

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

wht is defendable score on this pitch?

 

[nads_rocks]

Sadly we still need misbah in our line up because of brittleness of our line up ...

Our batting isnt that brittle anymore, it has some newbies but they got into the team which means they must be good at something, I call that experience of some sort atleast as they are talented unless they just get thrown into the team for absolutel nothing or did not prove themselves or work hard to get into the team.

If we gonna have seniors like Misbah in the team then set an example show them how to bat how to find the gaps, how to rotate strikes, if u wanna teach em to defend then stick to Test cricket, defend for 5 days I don't care, I'd rather have a team without Misbah in it be it brittle and weak but atleast they won't freeze at the crease like he does!

[Fawad2010]

[sam]

56-3 or 140-3

Hmm, let me think

[Sledger]

Mills back.

 

[Atif]

Kyle Mills is back into the attack. The ball has also been changed.

 

[ZAK]

Mills back into the attack.

 

[hur rizvi]

Semi-new ball taken ...

 

[pakistan_pride1]

ball chnage

 

[NJamal]

Mills back into the attack

 

[mastermind_quad]

Were in a better position before Misbah happened.

still in very good position..

 

[Fawad2010]

Pak team always try to double what they make in first 35 overs. Double the current score it becomes around 280-290.

not bad at all if we bowl good.

 

[The Slogger]

misbah

 

[pakistan_pride1]

wants to hit one out of the park

 

[pakistan_pride1]

[Deewana Mastana]

[Fawad2010]

[imshally81]

[ZAK]

1 to Misbah.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Blackberry.

bade log ...

 

[sam]

Right. Use the PP for Misbah who is going to defend any which way.

For Umar, Afridi and Razzaq, let's just have 5 odd overs and expect them to score 100.

 

[z2_daredevil]

ya allahhhhh !!!

itna to rozaa bhi nai lagta jitna misbah lagta hai

 

[ads101]

Just started watching. Love that Hafeez has a proved his doubters wrong. Hopefully he'll go on and get his ton.

 

[Obeid]

FFS Misbah do something!!!

So true!

From Cricinfo:
Calvin: "Can't understand why Pakistani fans themselves are pulling Misbah down. He has proved to be a capable and responsible leader who leads from the front. A man like him fully deserves to be in the Pakistani squad if Pakistan is to have a realistic chance of winning the world cup."

So true

 

[The Slogger]

maroo

 

[pakistan_pride1]

needs a hundred

 

[Rizwan25]

misbah for captain

 

[AZ]

PAK ma internet service ha blackberry ki?

[TigerJat]

Can Hafeez get to 100

 

[ZAK]

Single to Hafeez.

 

[pakistan_pride1]

is trying to jinx hafeez

 

[Looney]

bade log ...

aaj kal maasiyan aur driver bhi lash phone rakhte hai'n aap hain kahan

 

[mastermind_quad]

270+ score is good here

 

[iZeeshan]

Just 15 overs left.

Gotta get a move on one of these two.

We have a lot of batting left and it should fire considering we're in a stable position.

 

[Atif]

143/3 after 35 overs.

 

[UP]

Still behind 150

 

[pakistan_pride1]

is in test cricket mood

 

[ZAK]

143/3 after 35 overs.

 

[The Slogger]

*** is going on, id rather one of these 2 get out now

 

[Sledger]

143/3.

 

[imshally81]

misbah is just a liability in ODI team

 

[hur rizvi]

We need at least 250 to be competitive on this pitch...

 

[Atif]

 

[acer]

Wat the hell shehzad do.hafiz still playing his 3 year career saving innings

 

[pakistan_pride1]

 

[qaiser]

hafeez should rotate strike and grandpa shout go for shots

 

[Deewana Mastana]

 

[Sledger]

Misbah is now playing poorly, needs to hit everything. It will be ridiculous if Razzaq comes in with an over left.

 

[MRSN]

wide

 

[ZAK]

 

[talha3]

15 overs, how many can they get?

 

[strongman123]

Should go at more than 6 an over, otherwise it might be trouble.

 

[TigerJat]

143 after 35 overs

 

[Looney]

yup.

Pak main bijli ki service hai charge karne ke liye ?

 

[cricfan4ever]

143/3 in 35...

270 would be a dream...leaving too much for Umar, Afridi, and Razzaq here...accelerate FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Slogger]

why are they defending someone please tell me

 

[adzzy786]

i fear the worst

 

[Sledger]

 

[adiabbasi]

there is no game plan pakistani players are playing for themselve hafeez for 100 and misbah for another fifty

 

[pakistan_pride1]

this wind is terrible

 

[Hando]

Someone get Misbah out!

 

[talha3]

Struggling now, Hafeez doesn't want to slog as he's closing in on his best chance for 100

 

[mastermind_quad]

aaj kal maasiyan aur driver bhi lash phone rakhte hai'n aap hain kahan

So true

We've seen how well it has worked for the team so far. It's worked for Misbah alright - 34 runs in supposedly "testing" conditions.

He's killing whatever momentum the innings had gathered. YK is no big hitter either. But he does rotate strike if not scoring boundaries. Misbah just freezes at the crease and puts far too much pressure on the rest to make up for his non-existent scoring rate.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

1 to hafeez

 

[Looney]

aqal ke andhe MAARO

 

[pakistan_pride1]

that should have been 4

 

[The Slogger]

im surprised how you guys back in pakistan arent sleeping watching this

 

[ZAK]

Single to MH.

 

[imshally81]

hafeez should rotate strike and grandpa shout go for shots

Grandpa is only go for Polio shotz

 

[mastermind_quad]

chalo lets take the PP....
