[161]

Hope to see Shahid Nazir bowl - lets see what all this hype is about.

This will also be an important match for Butt- if he does poorly again Malik should be given a shot as opener.

 

[Muddaser]

What hype?

He is a swing bowler who can keep it tight.

 

[Sharif]

I personally want to raw bowlers to come in to the team who are these WAHAB RIAZ and MUHAMMAD IRSHAD.

 

[Muddaser]

Wahab Riaz is NOT international material.

Averaging 40 in the league and cant even swing it back into the right handers.

 

[Amjid Javed]

What hype?

He is a swing bowler who can keep it tight.

excatly muddy, hes a good 3rd seamer who will do a good honest job!

 

[nufc]

is this match on tv?

 

[Amjid Javed]

i dunno, any1 got web link for this game?

MODS, can this be made sticky please?

 

[pak_all_the_way]

i remember ary showing pak a vs india last year i dont think sony will coz they got better $hit to put on like jaise jesse koin nehee , CID and the rip off of kumars at no 42.

how crap are they programmes man i hate that channel!!!

 

[Mercenary]

What hype?

He is a swing bowler who can keep it tight.

The hype which certain people were creating by crucifying Woolmer about not taking Nazir. After all that hype we'll be expecting Waqar Mach I, Woolmer was called every name under the sun by some people for Nazir's omission.

Lets see how he does +

 

[ZM]

has it started?
wots the team?

 

[Amir_rulez]

What hype?

He is a swing bowler who can keep it tight.

More like the stupidity shown by Bob to select Khalil ahead of him.

 

[moiez_no1]

[ZM]

[161]

[161]

i think they r aiming to lose

aim is to get the best team selected for the real games- thats why they are playng all the ppl who don't have a spot locked down.

 

[Muddaser]

India A 12/1 (3.0 ov)

Dhoni GONE!!!

 

[161]

Rana Banana \A/ \A/ \A/ strikes- (after 4 byes and 3 no balls in his first two overs)

 

[mumtaz]

so much for their new sensation dhoni........

 

[gfx]

Hey guys

Somebody tell them to be a power hitter you have to be bigger than 5'3''

 

[Awesome Anjum]

[mumtaz]

[161]

[Guest]

[Muddaser]

8.5 Naved-ul-Hasan to Venugopal Rao, no run
8.4 Naved-ul-Hasan to Venugopal Rao, no run
8.3 Naved-ul-Hasan to Venugopal Rao, no run
8.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Venugopal Rao, no run
8.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Venugopal Rao, no run

?

 

[gfx]

haha
I dont knwo how big Dhoni really is, Im just BS'ing
but I can't imagine he is a huge keeper
In other news, this team includes 2 speacilist spinners
A bit of a strange team for an ODI, no?
Also note that Razzaq is captaining the side.......

 

[161]

gFx i think woolmi is playing mostly ppl who are fighting for a spot on the team- he's using their performance in this game to set our final ODI 11.

and from the way the Indians are falling, I wish we had a chance to bat first !!!

 

[Guest]

dont forget Hafeez!!

 

[Bailan]

I duno if they are trying to save money if the guy writing stuff up is just point blank lazy ... but this commentry is a serious joke .... the 1 4 W . . | . 1 . . 1 . | . . . . . . | . . .

i just wana know if there is any Audio link out there for the game .... i am even willing to listen to Arun lal for the entire game if it comes down to that ...

[Civil]

scoreboard frozen

seems rana has bowled their two brightest up and comers

 

[161]

arghh this is boring-

how about a caption contest -

Venugopal Rao (currently batting)

"Fearsome Indian middle order batsmen Venugopal Rao stares down the bowler with an intimidating glare"

True bro.....
We may not get 2 see much of the batting
I really hope Malik opens.
I dont know if any of these Indians can swing a ball, bu *** would be good to judge his performance as an openor

Dam that man is a stra8t ganster
Almost on par with Ganguly himself

I dont know why thats blanked out ?

 

[Guest]

you know it'd be fun trying to see what kinds of words this thing cant catch! but i'll probably get banned for it!!!!!

 

[gfx]

This site is independant now is'nt it?
So should'nt we be able to say anything we like

 

[161]

Shahid Nazir bowls 2 overs before he gets replaced ?

 

[octavian]

Kashif looks like Razzi boy didnt have his share of spinach today. The burden of captaincy in on his shoulders!

 

[Bailan]

i think its only acceptable that he got replaced by our primier spear head of bowling .... aka Mo Hafeez

 

[MIG]

In the criticism of Mo Hafeez , I see shades of YK bashing people - be ready to eat some "humble pie".....

 

[octavian]

we wish MIG !!..

 

[Raz]

In the criticism of Mo Hafeez , I see shades of YK bashing people - be ready to eat some "humble pie".....

Im not a Mohammad Hafeez fan as such but i do want him to do well and wish him all the best.

 

[Bailan]

In the criticism of Mo Hafeez , I see shades of YK bashing people - be ready to eat some "humble pie".....

they are only gone till he avg.s 20 odd in a series ... all of them will be back ... on a peronsal note ... i was always in a 50/50 mind-set on this guy ...

meh ... Hafeez can win us all the next 6 ODI's and he still wont win my fan ship ... not that it matters to him ...

 

[mumtaz]

arshad khan gets vengupal rao, both offspinners are bowling well in tandem btw

 

[Bailan]

2 more gone

1 each for Arshad and Mo Hafeez

 

[161]

Hafeezs bowling reallys isn't that bad- but if your going to play in a Pak ODI squad as a spinner- you had better be able to contribute with the bat- and that is where the real question mark is about Hafeez.

 

[161]

X) X) X) X) X)

I wish we would have batted first - as it is looking like there won't be much of a chase required !!

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

In the criticism of Mo Hafeez , I see shades of YK bashing people - be ready to eat some "humble pie".....

I agree with MIG, i have criticised him lately BUT i feel he will have a good ODI series, mark my words!

 

[mumtaz]

lets say he has potential to do something with the bat on some day and the day he does that would be a bonus, otherwise he can continue with his offspinners until malik's action is cleared.

 

[Bailan]

he is a very decent bowler and probably even a decent batsman .... but he definetly dosen't belong #4 position, where he has been played of the late ...

may be if comes down the order to stabalize the situation if Razzaq and Afridi had gotten out in a quick succession ..

 

[Raz]

Sriram run out. India A 82-4 after 24.5 overs.

 

[MIG]

we wish MIG !!..

why not, Inshallah !

 

[mumtaz]

he is going to open this time around with akmal.

 

[MIG]

Overlord - both your sig and Avatar are not displaying - can you remove them and resize your images as specified in the profile ? Thanks

 

[Naz]

Kaneria hasn't bowled yet

 

[Guest]

Shahid Nazir bowls 2 overs before he gets replaced ?

arshad and hafeez are frontline contenders for a spinner's spot. they need a fair chance.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Mohammad Hafeez (OB) 6.0 1 9 0 1.50 > > >

 

[mumtaz]

hafeez 7-1-12-0. wow

 

[MIG]

Sorry my post wasnt to say that we cant criticise this guy - lets face it he is average and there may well be better players than him but I think he will do well in India as Indian bowling at the moment isnt anything special ( opp for more humble pie eating !!)

Fact is after Bangalore, we are all so careful about making pronouncements on peoples skills etc - maybe we need a health dose of AJ to get things right here !!!

 

[mumtaz]

i think he is going to be quite successful as a bowler(expect him to go for less than 40 in his 10), not much as a batter.

 

[161]

Mohammad Hafeez (OB) 6.0 1 9 0 1.50 > > >

You mean Mohammad "Mcgrath" Hafeez-
not only does he have an amazingly low economy like Mcgrath, he also just as lethal with the bat as Mcgrath is

 

[Muddaser]

India A 118/5 (32.4 ov)

Nazir takes a wicket.

 

[Bailan]

Commentry just got much much better form cricinfo
they heard our cries

 

[mumtaz]

kaneria going for runs and fast losing a chance to be in the odis.......he has already given more runs in his 3 overs than mcgrath hafeez has in 9
