PAK VS INDIA | 4th ODI|Multan [16/2/06]

[Kashif]

Oh deary me!

Inzi leading an admirable counter attack on his home ground. If we loose another 2 before the 35th over, Imran Farhat will have to feature to save us from a dismal total.

 

[Big Mac]

we need to murder tnedulkar today

That's a bit drastic isn't it?

 

[syd_pak]

WOW...iNZI PLAYING Tendukar like he was Shane warne or Murali

 

[nafajafam]

Ramiz thinks that inzi is tendus bunny

He is, isnt he?

 

[nafajafam]

Inside edge, but single taken

 

[badxhah]

Ramiz thinks that inzi is tendus bunny

Manjrekar thinks the same for Ramiz ... as his playboy bunny

Inzy ,, baby come on ...

 

[octavian]

holding and shiva together... i can kill someone !

 

[nafajafam]

Driven through cover, good shot, but just a single

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[karachiite]

Should we sub Arafat/Rana for Farhat?

 

[Big Mac]

Yousuf gone /o\

 

[nafajafam]

Cut away, but good fielding and single taken

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

[octavian]

Manjrekar thinks the same for Ramiz ... as his playboy bunny

[octavian]

chalo ji

game set and match

 

[Saqib]

Oh Dear !!! Mohammed Yousuf Gone

 

[Farah]

Should we sub Arafat/Rana for Farhat?

Rana was more likely to be substituted but its Arfat

 

[Big Mac]

Better not sub Rana off

 

[INZItheman]

**** are finished!!!

 

[nafajafam]

Farhat comes in as super-sub

 

[Saqib]

[the true passionist]

can farhat be the hero?

 

[Vegitto1]

Hahahahahaha!

 

[Zeenix]

Oh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Rob H]

Game gone i think now. The Yousef/Inzi Partnership was key.

 

[karachiite]

for?

 

[Ace Base]

If 6 batsmen couldn't do the job, the 7th one isn't going to help much.

Pakistan shouldn't have used the sub at all.

 

[nafajafam]

Good drive, straight to fielder

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

can i just say if farhat dosent score this would be the biggest waste of a subsitute ever

 

[karachiite]

If 6 batsmen couldn't do the job, the 7th one isn't going to help much.

Pakistan shouldn't have used the sub at all.

and score 180?

 

[nafajafam]

99-5

 

[INZItheman]

No point not using the sub! He is kept there for this type of situation! Pak have nothing to bowl on anyway so might as well use the sub!!!!

 

[deadly_man]

nice decision
and in next match I hope he come out opening the inning in place of BUTT

 

[karachiite]

farhat playing maidens here

 

[nafajafam]

Wonder what's going through Inzi's mind

 

[Zeenix]

Game GONE

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

farhat need sot get off the mark

 

[lakha84]

can farhat be the hero?

i doubt it but inshallah he will be a hero today with inzimam
inshallah

 

[Rob H]

Pakistan need to get the run rate up here.

 

[INZItheman]

Pretty much in the bag for India. They have taken the series. Even if we manage 280 it will not be adequate as we saw in the last match!!!!

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

If 6 batsmen couldn't do the job, the 7th one isn't going to help much.

Pakistan shouldn't have used the sub at all.

Disagree. Based on that logic, we should always play 5 batsmen instead of 6. If 5 can't do the job, then one more isn't going to help much.

 

[deadly_man]

by the way who takes the desion while caption is in middle abt supersub..I mean who is going to be substituted for whom

 

[nafajafam]

Driven to midon and well fielded there.

 

[Kamranz]

Man......This Suxx big time! I aint watchin anymore need to sleep!

 

[Ace Base]

and score 180?

Better 180 and have an extra bowler to help you defend the score, than 240 and one bowler short.

 

[karachiite]

nice decision
and in next match I hope he come out opening the inning in place of BUTT

Is this the same BUTT who scored a century 2 matches ago???

 

[Rob H]

i thought Inzi was giving aggy too much respect then.

 

[nafajafam]

Majestic drive down the ground for a 4 by Inzi. 100 up for Pakistan, 103

 

[nafajafam]

On the leg and 2 runs taken. 105-5

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

inzi into his 40's andf the 100's up come on at least 250-260

 

[nafajafam]

Driven back to the bowler. 105-5 (28)

 

[badxhah]

Wonder what's going through Inzi's mind

Biryani + runs +lassi+runs+Parathas+runs+Haleem+runs= Wth too much thinkin i might go to sleep

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

farhat of the mark

 

[Rob H]

farhat finally gets going

 

[kashmiri]

ouch, 5th wicket down

but 39 for 6 and we still won (6 wickets down mean we only had 4 more to go)

 

[nafajafam]

Driven by Farhat, good fielding. single taken

 

[nafajafam]

Cut away for a single.

 

[the true passionist]

i dont know we can defend 260 with a bowler short. this will put a lot of pressure on Asif.

 

[Big Mac]

Farhat

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

ouch, 5th wicket down

but 39 for 6 and we still won (6 wickets down mean we only had 4 more to go)

True but in a test you have the second innings to make up for the first.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 by farhat

 

[Rob H]

thats it. Get stuck in

 

[karachiite]

Better 180 and have an extra bowler to help you defend the score, than 240 and one bowler short.

You cant defend 180 with 11 bowlers on this pitch, we have 4 seamers as it is.

 

[Ace Base]

Disagree. Based on that logic, we should always play 5 batsmen instead of 6. If 5 can't do the job, then one more isn't going to help much.

To extrapolate:

If 4 can't do the job, then no point playing the 5th.

If 3 can't do the job, no point playing 4

And so on.

I'm talking about balance here.

As I said in an earlier post, an extra batsman will get you to 240, probably, but you have one hell of a job defending that score with a bowler short.

 

[the true passionist]

farhat doesn't like the dollies of sachin.

 

[nafajafam]

Good shot for 4 by Farhat

 

[badxhah]

ouch, 5th wicket down

but 39 for 6 and we still won (6 wickets down mean we only had 4 more to go)

Sir its time to stop resting on past victories like indians do(hey remeber we beat u in every WC cup mactch then lost the nest 2000 ODis to u ) btw that was test cricket

 

[nafajafam]

111-5 (29)

 

[sneekysneeky]

good shot by farhat 4444

 

[karachiite]

Comon boys you need to stick it out for another 10 overs atleast. Keep going

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

To extrapolate:

If 4 can't do the job, then no point playing the 5th.

If 3 can't do the job, no point playing 4

And so on.

I'm talking about balance here.

As I said in an earlier post, an extra batsman will get you to 240, probably, but you have one hell of a job defending that score with a bowler short.

Pakistan have 3 specialist bowlers and 2 all-rounders. The only bowler missing is Afridi. Farhat has taken his place and he can also bowl a few overs.
