Pak Vs Eng:ODI 2: Lahore: (Pak innings) Score updates and discussion

I still feel that England with some generosity from Hair can win from here ..Inzy tried his best ..you never know - others in Pakistan might want to emulate

Guys: Daryl just called up - wants to know when he can get more phainty ? di u think he is planning something ?

the only chance pakistan got is don't give any chance to Hair for making the decision
 
This twilight period is very tricky for hte batsmen. Butt looked like he lost the ball and got bowled. Same for Y.Khan. And in the last over M.Yousuf missed one too from Blackwells over, but luckily no damage there. The slower balls are hard to pick. Batsmen should look to play straight as possible.
 
once afridi comes back our odi team will be second to none, kaneria will be out and afridi can open or come down the order and the bash bros will be reunited
 
what happened to the lights in gadaffi stadium, there used to be lights all around on the roof which gave it a cool orange glow
 
Great insight from Waqar. He cannot understand why KP is not off the field. He has played international cricket for god knows how long and he doesn't even know that KP is not allowed to have a substitute fielder if he started the match with the injury :20:
 
seriously man...ud expect former cricketers to know the rules of the game....mind boggling
 
so what do you guys think? Should we demote Akmal once Afridi comes back in?

No spanks, I prefer this slow death to just finishing them off quickly and mercifully.

If waqar is making those statements ..just imagine what insight inzy bhai will be saying if he decides to take up urdu "kaamentry"

On this performance no chance, Salman and Akmal looked comfortable batting with each other. With Afridi not only is it a bit hit-and-miss but you also have the danger of the guy at the other end getting overawed when he starts smashing it into the next province.

Imagine how demoralising it would be for the opposition bowlers to have us 240/4 and then look at the scorecard and see that Afridi and Razzaq are still left to come in and face the lifeless old ball. It's enough to drive a bowler to early retirement.

Of course if we have to chase down a massive total then give Afridi a fling at the top of the order and try and give us a flying start but in normal circumstances I'd prefer to keep him in the lower order and watch as he is straining at the leash ready to unleash the rage.

I agree with you but then would this be a permanent change both home and away? I think Akmal and Butt would make a very solid opening partnership but the lower middle order of Malik, Razzaq and Afridi is a bit hit and miss. I'd like to see Malik back at 3, Younis at 6, Afridi at 7 and Razzaq at 8.
 
Abey yaar akmal - Plunkett bachey kee jaan legaa kiaa ?? Kaheen woh cricket khelnaa na chor dey
 
Plunkett on cruise control here...

L Plunkett* 4.5-0-44-0 !! ( is that 9 runs an over !)

And what about Player of the Year, Flintoff Mian - not a peep ( and a duck to go with it !) These things are jinxes, I tell ya !

I was about to say the same thing! Finally he says 'Kaneria could be the casualty'.

And since when has Sami been a medium pacer Rameez?
 
Had it not been for Inzy inspirational captaincy - the match would be over by now /...england would have folded up for 150 odd
 
^ i was thinking the same thing the team is goona be awesome with afridi in for kaneria
 
the game would have been over but than again we wouldnt have got to see akmals century...
 
Flintoff re-enters the attack, knowing full well that even if England lose this series - which they will, incidentally - he will always be the sports personality of the year for 2005. Always. By contrast, Akmal's single into the covers is but a hollow triumph, a here-today-gone-tomorrow titbit of sporting ephemera.

The man has a point ;0
 
damn inzi for being captain..man we need to drop this whole eleven and get the new junaid zia 11 in instead...get rid of the two aloo eating fatties and replace them with the tind terror zia and his best mate faisal "fuzlu" iqbal..damn that inzi!!

You are asking for it...my hands are itching to start a few dozen threads on that 'Ganja Shinning Tindh Terror' :D

I almost saw him in Lahore, just missed his lovely face in the crowd while Farhad said "There's the terror man"...maybe it was a good thing; I was gonna have nightmares for the rest of my trip :9:
 
Brilliant knock by the little man, always looked in control.
 
Kami the great superb 100 and this after keeping wicket for 50 overs! RESPECT
 
Akmal has set them up really well. I would still be confident if we were chasing a 300 score. Definately MOM to Akmal for me...
 
Inzi with his 3rd four in the over! Looks in great touch!
 
Congrats to Inzi, I remember being in the stands at Edgbaston when he reached 10,000 as well :cool:

Plunkett brought rite back to Earth after his 50 today ... maybe he is a batsmen not a bowler!!!
 
Inzy and Moyo have decided to wait till the last over it seems ... I was hoping to go to sleep about 10 mins ago
 
There we go, sets things up very nicely indeed for the return of The Afridi in Karachi
 
Oh dear Botham: "Congratulations Pakistan on your fine victory - and it was a fine victory"

Looks like PPers will have to find something else to moan about now ;0
 
Finally over ... Good easy run chase ... Well done to Pak.

I'm off guy .. cya next time!!!
 
Well done pakistan. How long till the ceremony, does anyone know???

i dont wanna stay up too late.
 
My god....I cant imagine what the beast is going to do ..but im going to shut up now....dont want to jinx him.....

I doubt Akmal will be opening for long, he is better suited down the oder in my opinion, he scored a century against WI in Australia and generally struggled at the top of the order after that.
 
problem with akmal is that he doesn't use his feet a lot and IF the bowl swings then the it would take a edge for sure
