i know Raz, cricket can be so unforgiving, one missed delivery and that's it no fireworks from Afridi. my heart sunk when i heard that noise....

 

[sajjad]

nehra started instead of zaheer
smart play by ganguly

 

[badxhah]

Instead of starting a afridi bashing thread.He did his main job in the real business arena "TEST"sO if he even fail in ODI lets not bash him up.

 

[w4s1m786]

gangulys batting may suck but his captaincy is still ace

 

[Raz]

As opposed to the great feeling you get from your heart when you hear the noise of the ball hitting the middle of his bat and then the sound of it landing into one of the stands!

 

[OTW]

Ganguly's captaincy has been pretty good this game, with the exception of his batting position.

Promoted Dhoni, gave Nehra the new ball - good calls on both accounts. And a shocking piece of running there between Butt/Razzaq, but no damage done.

 

[DM]

We'll hear that sound yet in this series....

 

[sajjad]

ganguly still in the team solely cause he has been a good captain

had he been a good batsmen, india wud have been real blessed

 

[sajjad]

razzaq...smashed it so hard...i feel bad for the ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

afridi was in no win situ there... i feel sorry for him!

 

[Raz]

cmmon razzaq

 

[w4s1m786]

i gotta feeling ganguly will bring in on eof his spinners

 

[Raz]

Mera Beta Razzaq !!!!! Maar Saalon Ko !!

 

[Nawazb]

butt - just give razzaq the strike

 

[DM]

Yep AJ, he was probably told to play a pinch-hitters role and to his mind that seemed to mean to smash every delivery with absolutely no shot selection. Maybe we'll see him back at number 7 next match

GO RAZZLER!

 

[sajjad]

cmon pakistan

 

[badxhah]

afridi was in no win situ there... i feel sorry for him!

Yeah agreed Amjid!

They are still toying with afridi ,,,, jus make him permant in the #6 slot thats good enuff.

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan might aswell go down all huns blazing!

 

[Hussain]

commmon Razzak show the Indians wht u re capable of wid the bat

 

[sajjad]

34/1 after 5

RR almost 7

 

[Noddy]

why shudnt afridi opened up ?
I said yesterday that they were planning to open with him in this game, and he knew he wud be, so for me his preparation was all wrong today.
The shot he played was poor...

We just need stands to build and the board to tick. small ground, good track, probably allow razzi to play normally and his natural game now, as huge total and he also has nothing to lose...His game plan will still be different to Afridi's..

 

[Raz]

34-1 after 5.

 

[Amjid Javed]

inshallah we can get to about 100-110 for 1/2 by 15th over....

 

[sajjad]

long team meeting during the over.

 

[Raz]

Another 4 to Razzy.

 

[sajjad]

another 4 to 3rd man

 

[w4s1m786]

[MIG]

[w4s1m786]

even cricinfo find it sad aswell

5.4 Nehra to Abdul Razzaq, FOUR, four more! angling across, played well
wide of the gully fielder, nicely opened the face of the bat to
get it wide of the fielder, fantastic shot
sad to see the crowd go silent when a boundary is scored!

 

[sajjad]

another beauty by razzaq....4 thru the field

 

[Khalil]

Crowd goes silent every time Razzak smashes a 4. They almost seem to be observing a minutes silence for some painful event

 

[sajjad]

Just like its painful to us when Sehwag hits a 4 its the same for the Indians.
