[cricket_fan_1]

Let me remind you this a 50 over match and this middle part of the innings is called consolidation in the game

the advent of T20

ppl just can't stand some quite overs

 

[Sledger]

He was well back.

 

[saj001]

pitch slowing down

 

[kaalakawaa]

Misbah, Be a man

[ScotRaz]

Pakistan are making this chase really difficult for themselves

It's the Pakistan way.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Misbah.

 

[iafzal]

Styris is being made to look like world class bowler by these two.

 

[cricfan4ever]

Styris being played as if he's McGrath

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Let me remind you this a 50 over match and this middle part of the innings is called consolidation in the game

So lets consolidate and raise the RRR to 10. Then if the lower middle order flops, bash them like there is no tomorrow.

 

[ZAK]

1 to YK.

 

[KSaeed]

We are making Styris seem a lot better than he actually is...

 

[Sledger]

Good play by these two.

Bat 50 overs and Pakistan will win.

 

[usman2321]

misbah after getiing 30 of 60 balls will try to slog and get out

 

[NeVerMind]

another 4 singles off an over...what more do you want?

 

[ZAK]

105/3 after 24 overs.

 

[Looney]

Styris being played as if he's McGrath

dibbly dobbly bowlers are not easy to hit all round the park...at least not on every day

 

[cricfan4ever]

FFS Ramiz shut up with you stupid crap...theres no need for risks...RR is easily manageable...these 2 need to bat till 35th over minimal risks...

 

[Sledger]

Left arm spinner James Franklin on. He is a pie chucker, could be attacked.

 

[usman2321]

misbah shud conme after unar akmal

 

[ZAK]

James Franklin comes into the attack.

 

[Maher96]

please get some boundaries.

YK and Misbah are lost in Test match mode.

 

[saj001]

franklin on

 

[taqi]

4 runs in an over achievement

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[Afridi_Fan]

Extremly risky single.

 

[ZAK]

[usman2321]

Keep your strike rate above 50 , grandpa and will buy you viagra

[kaalakawaa]

[cricket_fan_1]

Hassaan the sarcastic: ""Boundaries? What are they?" asks Younus to Misbah. "Never heard of it Younus bhai" grins Misbah."

aa comment in cricinfo

 

[Maher96]

just pick up six singles a over if you can't get boundary bachoo.

 

[Sledger]

He was well back..

 

[The Slogger]

[ScotRaz]

Taliyaaan!

 

[saj001]

3 to misbah

 

[ZAK]

3 to Misbah.

 

[cricket_fan_1]

oh yeah? They had no problem thrashing Tanvir!!

tanvir is outright trash...not even in the league of styris

 

[KSaeed]

Misbah hits it in the air!!!

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Good play by these two.

Bat 50 overs and Pakistan will win.

these two can't do it if they bat till the end at this rate they still can't up the tempo in the last 10-15 overs where we will be needing like 8-9 an over but Misbah & YK can't go beyond 5.0 even if it is the end of the world.

 

[usman2321]

risky singles- no need. why can these guys find the gaps and get 2s instead of one.

 

[NeVerMind]

So lets consolidate and raise the RRR to 10. Then if the lower middle order flops, bash them like there is no tomorrow.

Already looking for excuses if Afridi fails? If they go at this rate they will bring the req rate to less than hundred with 15-16 overs to go which is fine

 

[The Slogger]

one boundary every 3 overs, with 3-5 singles in between is good to go

 

[Maher96]

turning out be a good over. get 3 more runs guys at least.

 

[Abdullah22]

"Williamson you no Umar akmal "

 

[usman2321]

aa comment in cricinfo

hahahahahah

 

[Maher96]

6 runs this over.

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Current partnership 26 runs, 7.0 overs, RR: 3.71 (Younis Khan 11, Misbah-ul-Haq 15)

 

[sanakazmi]

good over

 

[insaaniyat]

So lets consolidate and raise the RRR to 10. Then if the lower middle order flops, bash them like there is no tomorrow.

Afridi shines when the run rate is high. Not to worry.

 

[saj001]

Bat 50 overs and we win this

 

[Maher96]

misbah can't run any more has done too much running.

 

[ScotRaz]

Chalo, time to go to work, will have to follow rest of the game on cricinfo, allah hafiz.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

111/3 in 25.

152 needed in 150 balls.

 

[NJamal]

111/3 after 25 overs

 

[hur rizvi]

It's the Pakistan way.

It works when we are setting target but doesnt when we are chasing

 

[ZAK]

111/3 after 25 overs.

 

[sanakazmi]

misbah loves these aadhay aerial shots.

 

[Sledger]

111/3

 

[insaaniyat]

good over

well we don't want good over we want runs

 

[cricket_fan_1]

good over...

guys...have some patience...after all this is YOUR team

 

[The Slogger]

6 runs off that over with no big shots, thats good for the next 5-6 overs

 

[Rana]

This is a good tactic till the 35th over, pakistan should be on top by then if these 2 stay at the crease

 

[cricfan4ever]

152 from 25 with 7 wickets in hand...if we bat sensibly should get home...just need Misbah & YK to bat the same way they are right now till 35th over...by tht time target will come down to 110-115 in 15 with 7 wickets in hand...than we can begin accelerating!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Already looking for excuses if Afridi fails? If they go at this rate they will bring the req rate to less than hundred with 15-16 overs to go which is fine

So you mean they will score 50 odd in next 10 overs?

 

[Sledger]

these two can't do it if they bat till the end at this rate they still can't up the tempo in the last 10-15 overs where we will be needing like 8-9 an over but Misbah & YK can't go beyond 5.0 even if it is the end of the world.

Yes they can with wickets in hand an a batting PP.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Younis.

 

[usman2321]

styros 6 ovs 19-2 wow amazimg.

 

[taqi]

6 runs of the over ..... are they trying to push along?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Got to say Misbah is looking more good than the last game.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Misbah.

 

[AZ]

good running, 2 for Captain.

 

[hur rizvi]

I am missing Shoaib malik in the middle overs of an innings replace him wid misbah and our team will be a very good unit in ODI's ...

 

[Sledger]

Lol, Misbah trying to troll Styris.
