[iZeeshan]

Kamran sent in at 3 again

Don't like that move

 

[osee_bhai]

ramiz totally cursed hafeez.

 

[pakbl10]

Why did he have to do that?
Hopefully it's Kamran's day. Hopefully.

 

[Genghis]

I really hope they don't bring Kamran in now ... should be Younis/Misbah.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

he should have gone hard at it..... would have cleared the man atleast...

 

[JellyBro]

because!!!!!!!!

 

[Decipher]

Misbah's tuk tuk tuk tuk Syndrome but unable to capitalize on it ... never liked Hafeez.

 

[TigerJat]

that was a poor shot by Hafeez

 

[Sledger]

Kamran has been in crap form.

 

[SOSami]

Someone smack mills for 6. I've had enough...

 

[Toony™®]

Stupid Ramiz jinxing.

#damn you ramiz raja, damn you...

 

[sanakazmi]

i'm scared of scott styris.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Kamran so far had bad days, so may be its his day to save his neck with some decent score.

 

[ZAK]

20/1 after 7.

 

[HumorMe]

once again, Hafeez his own worst enemy!

Retarded stuff!

I agree. He's making up for the century two games ago.

 

[Watsupdoc]

cricinfo -

Mills to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, oh, Hafeez! What have you done! Mills keeps it well short of a length as he has most of the morning. A foot or so outside off. Hafeez could have left it. Or cut it, if he wanted to be adventurous. Or steered it, if he wanted a single. What does he do? He drives. On the up. With his feet miles away from the ball. What happens? It lobs up in the air, straight to mid off.

 

[Sledger]

20/1.

 

[kaalakawaa]

Please tell me, why are our players such dheelay

 

[Maher96]

Aargh hafeez out man! i lost my inet for 3 mins and he gets out ffs!.

 

[saeed-sohail]

Pakistan zinda baad.

 

[KingKhanWC]

A good chance for Kamran to get some time in the middle. Needs to be vary of his driving.

 

[AZ]

saeed-sohail - pls try to stick to match commentary once in a while.

this ain't MSN.

 

[Sledger]

Oram on.

 

[*sallu*]

Poor start for Pakistan

Didn't need that wicket

 

[Arsh_afridi]

Stupid decision by sending out of form Kakmal

 

[ZAK]

Oram comes into the attack.

 

[Maher96]

kami needs runs today.

 

[SOSami]

The Farmer is on. Smack him out of the park.

 

[Sledger]

Ahmed will want to get after him methinks.

 

[Sheikh_Chilli]

Hafeez got up this morning, looked in the mirror and
saw Tarzan, instead of a batsman.

You need to build an inning. Afridi-pana is bachpana.


Sheikh 'Om Shanti' Chilli

 

[kaalakawaa]

Shahzad needs to find a way to get his strikerate up while at the same time not playing any rash shots. In other words, he needs to do a tendulkar

 

[Inswinger]

I really hope they don't bring Kamran in now ... should be Younis/Misbah.

That would have been the sensible thing to do.

 

[Sledger]

Pulled away for a couple, not timed - lack of pace.

 

[Obeid]

saeed-sohail - pls try to stick to match commentary once in a while.

this ain't MSN.

Ain't ain't a word.

 

[khizer123]

why is he the farmer??

 

[AZ]

pulled thru midwicket for a couple.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Ahmad.

 

[thekhan]

when was the last time kamran akmal played a ball straight? he always plays the square on the offside

 

[haizen]

2

 

[Genghis]

Oram brought on to bowl some cheap overs while our batsmen are under pressure. Wouldn't be surprised to see Shehzad and Akmal open arms.

 

[JellyBro]

ball isn't doing much anymore

 

[Sledger]

Playing Kamran at 3 is an ok move. Three openers..

 

[duostyle]

What a pathetic start.

 

[kaalakawaa]

moves across the stumps and defends down the wicket

 

[Decipher]

backfoot defensive approach in powerplays ... Pakistan will never learn

 

[sanakazmi]

does anyone like kyle mills? i can't stand him.

 

[Maher96]

im off allah hafiz guys hopefully we will win.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Oram brought on to bowl some cheap overs while our batsmen are under pressure. Wouldn't be surprised to see Shehzad and Akmal open arms.

If not here but Oram will be targetted in the World Cup.

 

[ZAK]

Single to Ahmad.

 

[Genghis]

That would have been the sensible thing to do.

You can understand it if we are playing on the dead tracks of the subcontinent, but why on a swinging pitch???

 

[Sledger]

Ahmed lunging down the wicket. Glided for one.

 

[kaalakawaa]

once again, moves across and dabs it to the third man

its that easy!!

 

[SOSami]

He looks like he should be in a field with a tractor chewing on a piece of straw, not bowling.

 

[AZ]

expertly guided thru point for a single.

this wicket is quite easy, no excuses here.

 

[kaalakawaa]

Kamran body language is not at all inspiring. He looks more nervous than Shahzad

 

[thekhan]

again kamran plays square of the wkt

 

[Genghis]

Playing Kamran at 3 is an ok move. Three openers..

Can hardly call Kamran an opener...

 

[Sledger]

Oram and Franklin playing? Mmmmm.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

has it been 10 ODIs since kakmal scored a 50+?.... I

 

[d0gers]

backfoot defensive approach in powerplays ... Pakistan will never learn

Can't go forward to balls pitched short of good length. Unless you want them to get hit in the face.

 

[TigerJat]

regardless, Hafeez has been one of our better batsmen in the last year, plus he is a pretty useful bowler.

so he is not going anywhere

 

[ZAK]

23/1 after 8.

 

[kaalakawaa]

The wicket is getting easier. I think in 10 mins this wicket will become completely flat. Shahzad must remain calm here and not give it away.

 

[sanakazmi]

what song is this

 

[AZ]

does anyone like kyle mills? i can't stand him.

dislike the whole team.

 

[TigerJat]

the problem is that Kamran Akmal is out of form, and not scoring, so there is pressure on him to score, so he is not playhing his shots either.

 

[Obeid]

We need to be at 40 by end of 10th over

 

[kaalakawaa]

Oh this could have been smashed out of the ground

 

[sanakazmi]

hang in there shehzaday.

 

[thekhan]

Kamran body language is not at all inspiring. He looks more nervous than Shahzad

the guy can't play straight. he is not a batsman. he can play a good innings once in a while but not a batsman.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

lot of freebies are going for nothing at the moment

 

[Decipher]

yes they are bowling straight but there is no movement,,, pretty ordinary bowling and an even worse response by Pakistan...

 

[kaalakawaa]

Shahzad is being too cautious here. There is no need to be so negative after 8 overs.

 

[Fallen King]

You can understand it if we are playing on the dead tracks of the subcontinent, but why on a swinging pitch???

To fill the void of the middle order, probably to strengthen middle order batting line by introducing Younus, along with Misbah and Umar Akmal. The middle order is weak, and already weak by overlooking Mohammad Yousuf for the World Cup.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

danced down the track...... 4

 

[saj001]

banggg

 

[Sledger]

Four more.

 

[AZ]

chapaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayr!

 

[ZAK]

to :ahmed

 

[SOSami]

Shot Shehzad. 4.
