Pak V Eng: ODI 2: Score updates and discussion thread (Eng innings)

[immubhai]

Big Mac..... I was also surprised to read your sarcasm, could not understand till i read thay you being again ironical about Inzi...cricinfo is not uploading guys, so please rather avoid your sarcasam...i again took it in a wrong way...Inzi the great...clever captain brought Shobba to hit the nails faster in English coffin

 

[octavian]

Have not understood why we dont have a FINER fine leg? At least 60 runs have come down there.

very good question

 

[nafajafam]

120-6. 6 runs off the over.

 

[pacman]

hooooooooooo, Shoaib has bowled Blackwell. What a ball.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and thats the 4th for akthar blackwell cleaned up!

 

[Big Mac]

Ok fellas, who's crying about Inzi's bowling changes now?

 

[pacman]

Inzi going for the kill. No spinners yet.

 

[Raz]

Blackwell gone! Shoaib gets 4!!

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Sshhhooooaaaiiiibbbbb Aaaakkkkhhhtttaaaaarrrr

 

[Oxy]

why are collingwoods SLazengers so awful ? he broke 2, and now his 3rd.... he keeps looking at it... ready to break again ..

he needs some UT bats from Karachi ....

I dont think modern players knock their bats in any more-in maaaa day, you would see players on the balcony knocking their bats in...these dats they are machine knocked...and in Collingwoods case...Slazenger forgot to knock them in!!!

 

[hasanahmad]

If Arshad is a better batsman than kaneria we should substitute him with kaneria for number 11 position

 

[DotCom]

I still say we need Kaneria in there on 1 end ... he is an attacking bowler ... mix up extreme pace with extreme spin .. kaneria will get good bounce..

ENG better be gone for under 150...

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

shoaib lieterally is on a demolishing act

 

[Sheikh]

Shoaib!!!

5-for is definitly on now!!!

 

[nafajafam]

blackwell finally faces some good bowling..

 

[sneekysneeky]

Shoaib on fire!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i dont think eng is going to be a/o for under 150 my prediction is somewhere close to 180 as the tail of england always wags

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

there is no way eng is not bringing solanki in next

 

[DotCom]

This wicket is MUCH faster ... look at all the BOLDS ...
runs behind WICKET ..

HARMISON
ANDERSON
FLINTOFF
and even PLUNKETT

wont be easy to chase ... our batsmen struggle against good bounce ...

 

[Big Mac]

Solanki not rated at all by the England management

 

[nafajafam]

94.0mph short ball from shoaib

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

wicket maiden for shoaib akthar gr8 bowling

 

[Raz]

Wicket maiden from Shoaib

 

[nafajafam]

120-7. 27overs

 

[pacman]

Commentators blaming the pitch )

 

[zorawar]

Blackwell's got huge mamey!!!

You pervert! ) ) )

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

This wicket is MUCH faster ... look at all the BOLDS ...

It is the same wicket as in the first ODI,

It is The Rawalpindi Express and Ranadinho who have changed from the first game.

 

[nafajafam]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again

 

[aamir]

i agree however a captain must put faith in his bowler's ability to bounce back and at least allow him to continue for another as not to dent his confidence and lower his morale

I think you are giving Inzi far too much credit on this one.....

 

[zorawar]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again

Totally Agree...!

 

[immubhai]

It is the same wicket as in the first ODI,

It is The Rawalpindi Express and Ranadinho who have changed from the first game.

lets hope you are not wrong..cos i dont want this happening to Pakistan

 

[immubhai]

Shoaib should rest next game. seeking medical attention again

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

 

[DotCom]

its the same wicket, but theres more pace in it .. it may have been watered differently ..rolled more .. etc...

just watching the mph can tell u that ..

175 is a fighting total ...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I think you are giving Inzi far too much credit on this one.....

or is it that u are not giving him enough credit?

 

[nafajafam]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

getting his leg padded.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

something in his left leg he overstretched it earlier today and looked in a bit of pain. as we speak Danish has been brought on now

 

[zorawar]

oh bhai huwa kia haai usko?

I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

danish bowling far too wide here

 

[immubhai]

getting his leg padded.

thanks bhaijan

 

[immubhai]

I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.

thanks chotay bhai

 

[DotCom]

I think some calf strain... not as serious as a ligament tear or hamstring etc.

I think it happened in the 2nd over when he saved the four with one hand off of Ranas bowling ... I had the feeling

 

[immubhai]

getting his leg padded.

thanks baray bhai

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

premeditated sweep for a single by plunkett

 

[aamir]

Another crap bowling change by Inzi. What a f***ing shambles his captaincy is.

Yes bring back the guy who is limping and prone to injuries when everything is under control. Absolutely freaking brilliant.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

drinks called ona fter a 3 run over by dani

Eng 125-7

 

[nafajafam]

who would support shoaib bowling off a shorter runup in onedays?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

who would support shoaib bowling off a shorter runup in onedays?

well i will support it if he can do it without reduced effectiveness

 

[Amir_rulez]

Yes bring back the guy who is limping and prone to injuries when everything is under control. Absolutely freaking brilliant.

well Sami aint limping. Is he?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another dam four behind the wicket...

 

[Big Mac]

Danish is so useless it's funny

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

disgusting fielding by danish

 

[nafajafam]

edge for 4 down third man. 130-7

 

[DotCom]

Danish is so useless it's funny

I thought he was playing for his fielding ...

 

[offstump]

crappy fielding by danish that was brutal

 

[aamir]

Well Rana took 2 wickets in an over, what a stupid decision to keep him in the attack eh

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Danish is so useless it's funny

BW should threaten him an axe from the team if he does not improve on it we cannot afford any slackers on the field

 

[nafajafam]

Dont think Danish will be playing next game with Afridi coming in

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!

Rana is a proven odi bowler thus he deserves the chance to redeem himself and im sure that is why inzi kept him on. HE SHOWED FAITH IN HIS BOWLING RESERVES! why is it so hard to believe that?

 

[pacman]

Danish strikes. Collingwood gone.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

and as we talk of danish's uselessness he takes a caught and bowled catch as collyflower finally goes

 

[pacman]

Solanki in.

 

[Raz]

Kaneria strikes. Collingwood caught and bowled!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

imo this is is too late for solanki too come in now however this should be interesting

 

[Sheikh]

Danish!!

Great captaincy again by Inzi!!!

 

[hasanahmad]

James Anderson will not bowl. England are 1 bowler short now


Collingwood
Plunkett
Flintoff
Harmison
Blackwell

Thats all England will have

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

off the mark right away with a nervous shot

 

[aamir]

or is it that u are not giving him enough credit?

It is all conjecture I am afraid no one knows for sure what the big man thinks...or even when and if he does

 

[immubhai]

did n't i say they are going to make Jimmy boy sit for Solanki, boy, they again had luck with Super Sub

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

It is all conjecture I am afraid no one knows for sure what the big man thinks...or even when and if he does

exactly. Therefore we should all just sit back and let the match unfold and stop the captaincy criticizing comments

 

[aamir]

Rana is a proven odi bowler thus he deserves the chance to redeem himself and im sure that is why inzi kept him on. HE SHOWED FAITH IN HIS BOWLING RESERVES! why is it so hard to believe that?

Yes just like he did in the first game...worked extremely well in that game, no as well.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

2 more runs down to fine leg

 

[Big Mac]

Yes because Inzi knew this would happen and kept persisting with Rana, as cold hard statistics and facts (which Inzi is always on top of) support the notion that a bowler going at 7.5 an over is likely to come back and take 2 wickets!

He's done it before. Don't you remember the pumping he got from India before bouncing back to take some important wickets?

 

[nafajafam]

shouldnt solanki have come in for plunkett?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Yes just like he did in the first game...worked extremely well in that game, no as well.

agn this relates to a previous argument. It isnt the captains fault if the bowlers have a rough day no particular bowler did well that day and inzi worked with it the best he could

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good fielding there by moh'd sami

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

thats a good shot by solanki for 4 to end the over 139-8

 

[aamir]

exactly. Therefore we should all just sit back and let the match unfold and stop the captaincy criticizing comments

Not so fast, he well within his rights think what he does and not at all, but he remains answerable for his *decisions* as a captain. There no such thing as Authority without checks and balances.

 

[Oxy]

I guess the Inzi haters must be devestated that HE led us to THAT 2-0 victory over England!!!

 

[Big Mac]

shouldnt solanki have come in for plunkett?

Plunkett's a better batsman than both Jimmeh Anderson and Harmison and they need to make sure the tailenders can hang around with Solanki right now. Anderson's the weakest batsman in the XI and he's hit and miss as a bowler.

 

[Oxy]

Solanki is very dangerous in these situations-can easily work his way to 50-60 runs without you realising
