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

[Zeenix]

we need a few more of those

A lot more

 

[Slugger]

dravid is back

 

[Pathan007]

y dravid left the field????

how to get Malik out that's y

 

[PakVsAus]

havent you heard 'wen indo-pak fans talking,minnow supporters shudnt interfere'

sorry mate im more **** supporter than u r as an indian

 

[Slugger]

he has kept fielders everywhere! what a strategist!

 

[samisback]

salman butt seems to be playing for his own odi spot rather then the team...playing to cement his place..whichis not gud........

malik plays it straight to the fielder is timing sweetly though

24 for 1 still

 

[Ace Base]

Now, Im one of the most optimistic people on this site but I'm beginning to have second thoughts about whether Pakistan can turn this around. Inshallah, I still back them no matter what, but it starting to look more and more dire as the overs go by.

However, as Allah says in the Qura'n, "...indeed, after hardship comes ease."

 

[sneekysneeky]

One thing i dont understand is how come akmal always gets caught out at point but sehwag and jayasuriya get away with their slashes all day long/

better field placing by india

 

[samisback]

havent you heard 'wen indo-pak fans talking,minnow supporters shudnt interfere'

my my....never knew ppl had to take ur permission first to support the sides of their likings.......havent u got a job to go to???????

still 24 for 1.........all maliks shot played straight to the fielders.........next one bouncer malik lets it goes n stares back at the bowler

 

[Xeo]

Maybe he was asked to play that way!

 

[desidude]

So the test match have started at Multan.If Pakistanis think that they are building a platform by not scoring runs then I dont think they are going to get lots of runs at the end. Seems like all the pressure is on Pakistan right now.

 

[octavian]

india is trying to get malik caugth at short sqaure leg

 

[samisback]

2 runs pheww not a maiden atleast
26 for 1 in 10 overs

 

[PakVsAus]

Malik better start getting into his nerves

 

[alybaba]

I don't like this defensive strategy

I don't mind a slightly slow start as long as we don't lose wickets.

We've got a side capable of scoring quickly when the mood takes us and if we've got a lot of wickets in hand we could really do some damage. I'd much rather be 50/1 after 15 overs than 80/4

 

[azcali78]

Pakistan need to speed up in next Powerplay! Salman need to shift to higher gear
26-1

 

[samisback]

Maybe he was asked to play that way!

u cant ask anyone to play against the natural style.........im showie but u cant......look at malik playing his natural game .........
atleast butt could take the singles.............rotate the strike more......disturb the bowlers line o length!

power play taken bacha pathan to salu n defends again.......

 

[octavian]

have some petience guys..the srtategy was clearly to see the new ball off

no need to slate butt for his style. there is clealrly a strategy here

 

[don281]

india is trying to get malik caugth at short sqaure leg

Best first ten ovres for the series.....just two boundaries in 10 overs.....good start by India.....

 

[Zeenix]

BigMac -> No Afridi

 

[aabbasi]

I probably think it is a bad move...
"Attack is the best form of defence"

And as someone said earlier, its Multan not Headingly..
we will need around 340/350 to bat india out of the match. For that we need around 120 runs in 20 overs.

 

[samisback]

bayshak ur right!
salu takes a single way to go hurray......27 for 1..........
pathan to malik ...n goes for the big one......slower ball didnt time it....he was trying to hit this one out of the ground

 

[jusarrived]

am actualy hopin pak scores 300 atleast...common malik!

 

[Nauman]

I don't like this defensive strategy

Same here, 26 runs in 10 overs on a flat track is rediculous.

 

[samisback]

malik in 4 matches has scored 301 runs at an avergae of 100 mashAllah n strike rate of 96 not bad at all...malik cheeta
fine leg comes up now........
27 for 1 , 11 overs

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

am actualy hopin pak scores 300 atleast...common malik!

 

[octavian]

man !! arun lal is really pumped today

 

[PakVsAus]

hope pak isnt doing the old strategy...... save wickets.. and hit at the end

 

[samisback]

am actualy hopin pak scores 300 atleast...common malik!

dont worry by the end of this ODI series u will be hoping pak win the world cup!!!!

badri coming for his 6th over clearly they need to attack in this onver.malik changing his bat grip noooooooooo cav remembers saeed anwr during the wc 1999 final nooooo:

 

[octavian]

Same here, 26 runs in 10 overs on a flat track is rediculous.

this pitch looks to be a lot slower than usual. also outfield is slow

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Ohey Ub Maroo in Bachoiungran koo bahoot hoo ghai tuss tuss

 

[desidude]

I dont think Pakistan can achieve 300 runs today. Even if they play like this defensive i am not sure if they can rack up 300 runs. THere is no Afridi and I dont think Razzak is going to fire up in every game.

 

[Big Mac]

Butt gone

 

[Raz]

Salman gone, caught at slip by Dravid!

 

[samisback]

outtttttttttt butt goes

 

[desidude]

Butt is GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

 

[sneekysneeky]

out!

 

[jusarrived]

let me complete will you??...only cos,am bored of seeing onsided matches!

 

[Raz]

13 off 36 balls for Salman

 

[sneekysneeky]

butt gone caught in the slips by dravid great catch

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Kum Us KumIss Badri koo to maroo

 

[Big Mac]

I'd bring in Younis now and let him and Shoaib Malik play tap and run. They're both stunning runners between the wickets.

 

[PakVsAus]

game is gone

 

[Nauman]

Oh well, Butt puts pressure on the team and plays out 10 overs and then throws his wicket away.

 

[samisback]

me n my big mouth........................but fortunatly wasnt malik..........
with that salman butt decision i see FARhAT n yasir hameed back in the opening contentions

 

[PakVsAus]

let me complete will you??...only cos,am bored of seeing onsided matches!

yea the test series was very one sided

 

[samisback]

me n my big mouth........................but fortunatly wasnt malik..........
with that salman butt dismissal i see FARhAT n yasir hameed back in the opening contentions


inzi comes outttttttttt yayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[azcali78]

Salman should have been droped from the game. He is totally out of form and touch. 27-2 and Big man Inzy walks in

 

[desidude]

Pakistan is going to lose today. I have absolutely no doubt about it.

 

[octavian]

inzi comes in ahead of MOYO

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Farhat super sub for Butt

 

[sneekysneeky]

Inzis coming out... great to see the big man come in at 4

 

[nafajafam]

27-2. Inzi walks in, great catch by Dravid to dismiss Butt

 

[the true passionist]

Pak start negatively....i dont know whether we can pull a victory here.

 

[samisback]

loud apeal first up badri down onhis knees umpire says not out..clear not out! way outside the off stump
even arun agrees not as close as badri made it out to be
inzi off the markkkkkkkkkkkkk next ball

 

[nafajafam]

First ball, huge lbw shout, Sreesanth begging !!

 

[jusarrived]

my request for some(not taking names) pak fans is not go hiding...!

 

[octavian]

good decision by bucknor

badrinaat was about to cry

 

[bala977]

I am amazed at the negativity of some of you - Even if Pak is down 5 wickets for 20 runs, your batting depth can easily make 250 on this wicket. (There are 240 balls left - 100 singles, 30 twos, 10 three, 10 fours + extras should do it) So cheer up

 

[nafajafam]

Great delivery, nips out a little and beats Malik

 

[the true passionist]

Inzi for a big hundred!!!!

 

[sneekysneeky]

damn that was an unbelievable catch by dravid

 

[nafajafam]

28-2

 

[samisback]

beats malik all ends up......next ball malik lets it go....clearly they are giving them too much respect....or is it a bowling wicket all of a sudden since we are batting n when india bats will be a batting wicket

single down to fine leg 29 for 2..n keeps the striek malik 12 overs.........they need to be alteast 50 for 2 by 15 overs inshAllah

 

[azcali78]

We have to counter attack! 28-2

 

[Slugger]

yaar what kinda bullcrap is this?!

 

[sneekysneeky]

Why do you people call him badrinaat???

 

[alybaba]

I told you this defensive strategy doesn't work. Salman held back to that shot and it led to his demise.

 

[Invictus]

my request for some(not taking names) pak fans is not go hiding...!

The game aint over. Still alot to play for buddy.

 

[nafajafam]

Short one, deflected to the onside for a single. 29-2

 

[isr]

Look on the bright side. Inzamam is in early!

<ducks for cover>

 

[samisback]

Rip comes into the aatttack n no run

 

[Farah]

Hi all I didnt think Salman wud be playing today even wrote in my probable line up Pak may choose diff option n keep Akmal dwn order.

 

[Bailan]

my request for some(not taking names) pak fans is not go hiding...!

why would we? we can always bring up the issue of 70:30 into play

 

[jusarrived]

good decision by bucknor

badrinaat was about to cry

bucknor umpire for to days match?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[cornelius]

hey cavin,remember how i was talking about the build up....i dont feel so excited anymore....rather queasy.... cmon boys cmon! i wonder what theyll do about farhat.....was butts dismissal the same typical flash?i still think we shud stik with hem..anyways,back to the game

 

[bala977]

And our fielders are holding on to the catches this match - aboouuuut time

 

[nafajafam]

RP continues. 1st 2 ball were dots
