Pak V Eng: ODI No 1: Lahore: Score updates and discussion thread (Eng innings)

[nafajafam]

20 off the over. 317-4. maybe sami should be given an over.

 

[Nauman]

Rana just giving our batsmen something to chase so they don't get bored

He is trying to make sure they have their work cut out.

 

[lakha84]

when newzealand can chase 332 then why cant we
we will inshallah

 

[MIG]

RH is the only one enjoying this !!

Remember Karachi ODI ? Pak thought they had won - just because they put up a decent total - well so do England now but Pak will chase it down!

 

[Daoud]

Ah no worries. It would be stupid going to Pindi with the series already settled. We just want to give the crowd something to come for

 

[sars_pal]

Times like this i wish Afridi was playing!! but to be fair scoring 300 is always tough but this wicket is flat we have batters and NZ have proved it is do able!! no need to be down yet

 

[Somali Pirate]

inzi should have posted fielders on the boundary and told rana to bowl in the block hole

 

[Rob H]

cut for 1

 

[Hydro]

[zushy_786]

Good to see us doing this batting first.

[nafajafam]

[Daoud]

And it will be even better when pakistan throw it back in their faces......All kidding aside, they've batted very well

[Amjid Javed]

[sars_pal]

We dont need to go mental at the start just keep wickets in hand go at around 5 an over then last 15-20 overs inzy moyo and razzaq can hopefully launch a winning attack

 

[Rob H]

lmao. Thought it was a wide and left it

 

[Amjid Javed]

Eng 327/4 (50)

 

[Hydro]

pak req 328 to win

 

[lakha84]

newzealnd chased 332 i guess thats what we will have 2 do

 

[Raz]

Just 4 runs from that last over from Sami. Maybe he should have been brought on a lot earlier!

 

[MIG]

No slogging required - milk the English Cow and we will have ice cream at the end of the day !!!

 

[lakha84]

when newzealand can chase 332 then why cant we 328
we will inshallah

 

[nafajafam]

327-4. good over by sami. only 4 off it. huge task for Pakistan. should be an interesting game. maybe Pakistan will emulate NewZealand and chase the total.

 

[offstump]

they overbowled rana in the last overs, sami should have been brought on sooner, in fact he bowled well throughout the match

 

[nafajafam]

No slogging required - milk the English Cow and we will have ice cream at the end of the day !!!

Miggy, you are a legend.

 

[Hydro]

No slogging required - milk the English Cow and we will have ice cream at the end of the day !!!

uut waht if u like choc ices

 

[nafajafam]

sami should have been brought on earlier. he has bowled well this game. spinners should have been used for fewer overs.

 

[MIG]

uut waht if u like choc ices

That may be the case if we dont win...

 

[PapaBear]

Razzaq and Sami most economical and they bowled the least overs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[the_game]

Boys, this game is gone. We need to wake up in the field. Really.

 

[Somali Pirate]

Boys, this game is gone. We need to wake up in the field. Really.

i agree.shameful fielding display

 

[MIG]

Razzaq and Sami most economical and they bowled the least overs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a lesson for Sami and Razzaq haters....badmaasho sharam karo - ab kahan gaay woh Sami Kay mazaaq hain ?

 

[the_game]

And what good is Arshad Khan as the super sub? Do we not think before making such decisions? We had 6 freakin' bowlers in the team already. Come on.

 

[Nauman]

MIG lets have a new thread for second innings because this thread is manhoos.

 

[banana246]

when newzealand can chase 332 then why cant we 328
we will inshallah

1. australias bowlers were all inexperianced, englands bowlers arnt
2. the nz grounds are really small, pak grounds are way bigger
3. nz bat right down to no 11
three reasons why pak wont emulate nz

 

[Amjid Javed]

MIG lets have a new thread for second innings because this thread is manhoos.

i agree. however, start it when inns restarts. otherwise will have a clog up from the start!

 

[Somali Pirate]

That is a lesson for Sami and Razzaq haters....badmaasho sharam karo - ab kahan gaay woh Sami Kay mazaaq hain ?

aah after one meaningless odi i game am i supposed to applaud them?

what was sami stats in the real games vs england?

 

[yk]

Don't worry lads 4 more games to go. And becoz of the stupid ICC rules of super sub, England get to play with 12 players, and we have only 11. Arshad will not feature. But Liam Plunkett will.

 

[lakha84]

1. australias bowlers were all inexperianced, englands bowlers arnt
2. the nz grounds are really small, pak grounds are way bigger
3. nz bat right down to no 11

but then the most unpredectiblle team PAKISTAN

 

[PapaBear]

My prediction. Pakistan wins in last over!!! Told you we will chase 300 plus today! Didnt I ?

 

[Raz]

aah after one meaningless odi i game am i supposed to applaud them?

what was sami stats in the real games vs england?

What have the real games got to do with his performance today!!!! Ignorant thinking to say the least!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

That is a lesson for Sami and Razzaq haters....badmaasho sharam karo - ab kahan gaay woh Sami Kay mazaaq hain ?

[Somali Pirate]

i don't care about pyjama cricket especially in this meaningless game.

he went missing as usual in the test series.raz.He has a long way to go to convince me hes not a pie thrower

 

[Somali Pirate]

Oh yes - I forgot that the other match winners did really well today !

the other matchwinners did their job in the important games

 

[Rob H]

Sub Inzi for Khan

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oh yes - I forgot that the other match winners did really well today !

akthar has a poor record in lahore so i ddint expect much from him today

yes sami bowled well. lets not get carried away thou!

 

[Raz]

i don't care about pyjama cricket especially in this meaningless game.

he went missing as usual in the test series.raz.He has a long way to go to convince me hes not a pie thrower

So if its a meaningless game you wouldnt mind if Pakistan got thrashed?!

You still fail to answer the question ! What has his Test performances got to do with his ODI performance today! They are two separate formats of the game!!!!

 

[MIG]

the other matchwinners did their job in the important games

ET - I hate when people come up with facts to back up fiction....

 

[Rob H]

i expect Pakistan to at least get over 300.

 

[the_game]

Sub Inzi for Khan

RH has gone mad ) !

 

[MIG]

i expect Pakistan to at least get over 300.

did you mean 30 ?

 

[pacman]

Guys. This is the first ODI Pak is playing in 3½ months. Add to that the new rules (power play, super sub), it was going to be tricky.

The powerplay rules may have changed the game a little as we will be seeing bigger scores at the end of 50 overs. I reckon a normal 280 - 290 at Gaddafi will be like a 310 or 320. So, I don't think we are out of it just yet. Really depends on how we apply ourselves. Remember Pak chased 315 against India in just 48 overs without the powerplay rules.

Although, Arshad as super sub was a gamble. I thought Yasir Arafat was a better choice. In hindsight, we would probably have liked to have Yasir Hameed as the super sub to have made it a 12 against 12 game instead of a 11 against 12 players.

raz,

you misunderstand me.I will take a test series win over odis any day

sami did well.but to me it does'nt matter because he has to show consistency.

Pacman - there is too much sense in your post - clearly you do not have a firm understanding of the game like the rest of us....

Well no Afridi so hard to chase. And I did say we will lose this game, though we will the next one to even the series. We always learn for our mistakes lol.
