PAK v ENG 3rd ODI karachi discussion/updates

[Amjid Javed]

pak 14/0 (3)

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

over pitched down legside by anderson and kami once agn fails to capitalize

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal gets 2 off his pads afta missing out ball before.

 

[nafajafam]

anderson is bowling very full. lucky wasnt hit for a 4 on that one

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

not this time tho as he flicks it thru square leg for 2

 

[mooz]

- Dew conditions
- Movement in the pitch during 1st hour
- Easier to bat under less humid conditions
- Wanted to change it up
- Confidence in batsmen to chase any score pakistan produces

I don't think the dew is a big factor in karachi

 

[Amjid Javed]

good quick single for akmal.

 

[Rahim Pushtoon U.K]

The toss will be important , Karachi /3rd ODI/PAK V ENG

The toss gona play a significant role in this match, coz the ball will swing more in the second inning. The sea breeze in the evening time will definitely help the seamers. The wicket might be a bating paradise but seamers will be very very effective in the latter part of the game as this is the history of the ground. On this ground in the test matches we have seen a lot of wickets fallen to the seamers after tea. Dont know about the dew factor though.
Your thoughts

 

[nafajafam]

again on the pads and akmal fails to put it away

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good quick single by kami

 

[zushy_786]

I don't think the dew is a big factor in karachi

I was quoting from Tresco :24: ....I think he meant dew conditions in the evening......

 

[mooz]

wished they had opened with afridi.
Akmal is missing a lot of easy four-balls.

 

[Jonty]

cricinfo believes akmal could have possibly got 5 runs off that shot..

2.3 Flintoff to Kamran Akmal, one run, fuller length delivery, outside
off, came well forward and drivent to cover, Prior dive full
length and saved four runs

 

[Amjid Javed]

- Movement in the pitch during 1st hour
- Easier to bat under less humid conditions
- Confidence in batsmen to chase any score pakistan produces

Them 3 reasons i agree with

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

multiple "boom boom afridi" signs showing their presence. OVerthrown taken for a single

18-0 after 4

 

[Amjid Javed]

pak 18/0 (3)

 

[Raz]

A lot of Afridites in the crowd.

 

[nafajafam]

18-0. overthrow and single taken.

 

[zushy_786]

wished they had opened with afridi.
Akmal is missing a lot of easy four-balls.

The reason was because both openers are in good nick and they didn't want to mess with success...

 

[karachiite]

Decent start by pak. They should look to rotate the strike a bit more foten though and hopefully Kamran can hit the gaps and put away any leg side freebies.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

botham crying over how "close" that previous direct hit was

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor shot from butt their.

 

[zushy_786]

Have to say excellent crowd and atmosphere in Karachi

 

[Raz]

Very wide, not called Salman swishes and misses.

 

[mooz]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

 

[zushy_786]

Ramiz should just put a sock in his mouth.....

 

[Amjid Javed]

good ball flintoff beats butt outside off stick.

 

[zushy_786]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

Maybe

 

[karachiite]

so you are calling akmal an opener?

Why would you want to move a person who scored a century in his last game? Opener or no opener, he has earnt the right to stay there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Flintodd beats butt again! superb ball.

pak 18/0 (5)

yk is an amazing slip fielder tho his presence there always helps ease my mind

 

[Amjid Javed]

pakistan need to bat well for 35 overs and set a good platform and then let the animals out of their cages to do some hardcore cowlashing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

akmal keeps hitting field with his drives.

pak 20/0

[ontheBackfoot]

If pakistan hold on to their wickets and score over 300 ....we will surely have the game on our hands. Depending on the moisture in the air also..... Thick air in the afternoon will surely help our bowlers with reverse swing.... Let's first see how we do with the bat...
