Official Thread: Pak vs Srl(1st Innings- SRL Batting) [19/3/06]

[Saqib]

pakisstan need 131 of 50 overs 2.62 runs per over.

 

[Big Mac]

I wouldn't have opened with Afridi, not on this wicket.

 

[RumiNYC]

inzy the worst captain ever...he doesn't know how to go for kill...pak is winnin' just for his form and our players having good form and great unity...but inzy captain ? He does play good under pressure and always seems to get captain knock tho..but he's way too laid back...my choice is yunus or afridi

 

[Saqib]

Salman But crash it to the off side for 1

 

[Saqib]

Singel taken with some confusion, coud have been a run out

 

[Saqib]

Wide one, Salman had a go at it Pakistan are 2-0 afte 1 over

 

[Waheed_one]

[tahaqureshi]

Singel taken with some confusion, coud have been a run out

[Saqib]

The beast has a go, edge it to 3rd man for a singel

 

[Slugger]

[tahaqureshi]

[Saqib]

4-0

 

[Saqib]

no ball and a edge what is the beast doing today inside edge saved him !

 

[Saqib]

Good defence shown by Salman playing it with soft hands to the cover

 

[PapaBear]

56-7 and now 130/10 pathetic absolutely rubbish stuff from inzamam who knows what this paindu was thinking

all the commentators are shocked

Paindu dosnt think on his feet. cant not!!!!! I just woke up. Why the hell did shoaib malik bowl 7 overs?

 

[sneekysneeky]

wheres Raz... no Beastly thread

 

[Saqib]

Mods could you change the title of this thread it is Pakistan who is batting now

 

[Slugger]

Ramiz: "...strike quickly and strike regularily" is he commenting on the match or selling some digestion remedies?

 

[Saqib]

ohhhh good deliveyr the beast i stunn

was a yorker if afridi connectedi he was out !

 

[Saqib]

down the leg side Afridi want to connect the ball

now wait it is given as an wide, afridi definetly connected with the bat

again given as a wide

 

[lahori]

what kind of f'ed up action does this Malinga have? Afridi was puzzled by that yorker to say the least.

 

[amarmak]

Both the srilankans faster than the pakistani's

I thought i would never see that.

 

[Saqib]

Plays the ball do mid of Afridi he is thinking of something maybe six out of Sri Lanka ?

 

[Saqib]

The Sri Lanka difently bowled quicker than the Pakistan,

mean while afrid sturgeling to connect the ball.

 

[lahori]

Malanga bowling constantly at a hostile 140+ speed!

 

[Big Mac]

I wouldn't have opened with Afridi, not on this wicket.

This man speaks the truth

 

[Saqib]

This over takes forever

10 deliverys bowled now

and out is Afridi

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afridi Sahab gone!

 

[Saqib]

he was going to clear the stands, but it went so high the keeper took the catch hitted up in the air.

 

[Saqib]

The beast is done

 

[Saqib]

that last over took 11 deliverys

and the new man is Malik

 

[Slugger]

man afridi is a big overrated piece of crap the old afridi has returned...afridi the choker...remember?

 

[Slugger]

according to pp home page the match hasn't even started yet!

 

[Saqib]

This match is not over, Sri Lankans are going to fight hard for this match !

 

[tahaqureshi]

Baa-humbug!

 

[Big Mac]

Butt gone now, what a ridiculous shot

 

[Saqib]

Good shot by Salman But, almost wen to the boundry ball just stopped by the fielder.
15-1

 

[Slugger]

[Saqib]

Horribel shots

[Saqib]

Hey anyone here also without sound

 

[umarbeast]

Change Pakistan name to Bangleshesh. What has happened to us in a such a short time???

 

[the Pindi eXPRESS]

Butto gone c Sangakara b Maharoof
is the ball swinging?

 

[PapaBear]

If Paindu had thought on his feet he would have won the match by now and put up his feet. But he is paindu and he is not a one day player he can not think. Australia would have strnagled SL for 60-70 runs. This guy is an idiot.
I am starting an association for the protection of One Day cricket and against cruelty to ODI's in Pakistan by getting Inzimam out of this team. He can take Woolmer with him.

 

[RumiNYC]

butt is piece of cr@p...i never like him... big sifarisi over-rated...get him out already...put somebody else atleast yaseer hamid...ONLY the reason BUTT is playin bcuz he knows how to speak ENGLISH ?

 

[RumiNYC]

what the hell inzy was thinkin to send AFRIDI to open ? now beast is gone..what the hell i'm gonna watch ?

 

[tahaqureshi]

stop blaming inzi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how the f*&% can inzi control what the bloody hell afridi does?

fans like you are a disgrace! just shuttup and watch the match!

 

[RumiNYC]

inzy is a freaking captain..what the hell u mean by what he can control ? he's the one who set up the line up...we were gettin used to seein' akmal as a opener ..what happen ?

 

[PapaBear]

what the hell inzy was thinkin to send AFRIDI to open ? now beast is gone..what the hell i'm gonna watch ?

Shows you how inflexible is Paindu, he will come at number 5 and Yunis K at no 6. same old Crap. He has now sent in Kamran Akmal. This guy I tell you has no guts to lead from the front. He is a coward, he has lost so many matches through his stupidity that we could have won.
Target 130, send in regular openers, make a 50-0 put pressure on opposition, finish the game and go home.
This idiot has given a window to Slanka now.

 

[RumiNYC]

Hear ! Hear !

With fans like these who needs enemies!!

 

[RumiNYC]

arey yaar! inzy is my favorite all time batsman..but inzy as a captain ? NO freakin' WAY...

 

[Aurangzeb]

batsmen are falling like flies in this game...what kind of ajeeb pitch did these lankans prepare...and why the hell is pakpassion advertising hindu-forums.org?...

 

[RumiNYC]

we have been pretty sux in batting department in last few games...i cant get over the fact that india beat us 4-1 when we were thinkin' of sweeping them...funny game cricket, isn't it ..

 

[offstump]

aurengzeb how r ya my friend...this pitch reminds me of the millwoods district cricket ground...

 

[Big Mac]

Ahahaha, people whinge when Afridi doesn't open in the first ODI and now they whinge when he does open. To completely ruin any chance of him being taken seriously Rumi even manages to recommend that Yasir Hameed come into the side ahead of Salman Butt.

Some of you guys are brilliant

 

[offstump]

i dont mind afridi opening but the man did make a valid point, that we should have just sent in proper openers and wrapped this up without the mini collapse...its not like we were chasing a massive target...as for butt, he is beginning to run out of chances but i think imran farhat is next in line before hameed gets a shot..

 

[RumiNYC]

dude! i hate the idea of afridi to open in one day..never like it..but once in a while if it's against india or bd it's ok to entertain crowd...i prefer afridi in mid-low order...but BUTT SAAB..is completely clueless nowadays...i'm not a big fan of hameed...but atleast hameed give us a good innings once in a while...even imran farhat is way better than BUTT..atleaast farhat doesnt chicken out and get himself out everytime he goes for bat ..

 

[Big Mac]

Imran Farhat - 1 century in 23 ODI innings
Yasir Hameed - 3 centuries in 48 ODI innings
Salman Butt - 3 centuries in 31 ODI innings.

Yeah he's crap compared to those two isn't he?

 

[Big Mac]

ffs that's crap. Runout gets rid of Younis Khan
