[Geordie Ahmed]

[Geordie Ahmed]

234/6 from 48.4 Overs

Shah 5* (2)
Shafiq 106* (106)

 

[hashbb]

I hope Asad gets a big score today

You got your wish

 

[LegendsXI]

asad struggling to get the big shots.

 

[anakwalajinn]

250 would have been nice... hm...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Last few overs have been quite poor - only made 20 runs from 16 deliveries

 

[anakwalajinn]

imagine asad shafiq and fawad alam together

supported by razzaq afridi and a clean kamran akmal with glues in his hands

 

[Sir john]

8 balls left and 16 required fro 250 mark.

 

[anakwalajinn]

dot ball ouch

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

236/6 from 49.1 Overs

5 balls left

 

[LegendsXI]

240-245 looks the likely score.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

237/6 from 49.2

Only 4 balls left

 

[LegendsXI]

asad realy cant get the big shots away. leaving it to the other end.

 

[anakwalajinn]

this is sad. usually Pakistan are boom boom boom in the last overs. chalo as long as we dont fix games =P

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

239/6

2 balls left

 

[anakwalajinn]

maybe its fixed - asad shafiq to make unbeaten century without hitting a six?

 

[anakwalajinn]

last ball - asad shafiq

will he risk his average and try to hit a six?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

240/6

Last delivery - Shafiq to face

 

[LegendsXI]

boundary please

 

[LegendsXI]

damn another single. WTH.

 

[anakwalajinn]

lol a single. well played asad

target 242
less than 100 runs in the last 15 overs hm...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Pakistan A 241/6 from 50 Overs

Shafiq 109* (109)

Ghani 35 (34)
Sajjad 22 (56)

 

[Sir john]

241 is good score.

 

[xbox]

Good innings by Asad. Most of these A-team games are about individual performances. and that would select them for pak team. So can't change that mindset and can't blame these players either.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Decent total BUT felt we should have gotten more really - we only made 31 runs in the last 5 overs for the loss of only 1 wicket, thats poor

Well done to Shafiq on getting an unbeaten ton - hopefully thats caught the selectors eyes and he will get a chance soon

 

[hur rizvi]

Great innings from asad shafiq 109(109) impressive thing is that only hit 7 boundaries

 

[user094]

is this on tv/stream anywhere or only cricinfo?

 

[anakwalajinn]

no "user094" it is not

also asad shafiq made 80 something earlier? they should recall him for Butt saaaaaaab =P

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

is this on tv/stream anywhere or only cricinfo?

Just cricinfo as far as im aware

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

no "user094" it is not

also asad shafiq made 80 something earlier? they should recall him for Butt saaaaaaab =P

Aye he made 80 (107) in the first game - the openers had failed so he had to do a recovery job with Sajjad (story of the series it seems)

 

[anakwalajinn]

sitting in a lecture... boring :/

 

[anakwalajinn]

tell me about this sajjad guy. nice first class average but does he deserve to be in the team?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

That means he can rotate the strike well, something most of the current lot find it difficult to do

It seems he is YK kind of player. Not so attacking still so effective...

 

[T20_Cricket]

tell me about this sajjad guy. nice first class average but does he deserve to be in the team?

Yes

 

[anakwalajinn]

14/0 after 3.1 ov

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

SL 16/0 after 3.5 Overs

 

[oracleg]

Well done Asad Shafiq.

If this doesn't get him into the team then lord knows what will.

 

[anakwalajinn]

Talha bowled a no ball..................

 

[anakwalajinn]

Well done Asad Shafiq.

If this doesn't get him into the team then lord knows what will.

he should ask fawad alam

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

25 after 6 overs

 

[anakwalajinn]

come on iRfan

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Need Irfan to do some damage

 

[coy0607]

why has talha been taken off so early throughout the tournament.......just 3 over spells, give him a longer spell.......and asad shafiq better be in all the teams for the s.a. tour

 

[anakwalajinn]

not loooking good. we cant let them build partnerships

 

[anakwalajinn]

why has talha been taken off so early throughout the tournament.......just 3 over spells, give him a longer spell.......and asad shafiq better be in all the teams for the s.a. tour

he bowled a no ball yaar and azeem is a nice guy so he does not want him to fix matches :aali

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

SL 36/0 from 9 Overs

RR: 4
RRR: 5.02

We need to get some wickets to peg them back as this is a decent start from them

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Just as I type that Junaid Khan gets a wicket - gets udawatte out

SL 36/1 from 9.1 Overs

 

[anakwalajinn]

junaid khan gets the first breaktrough

[Khabri420]

Good to see Asad Shafiq getting a century. Hope he gets a chance to play for Pakistan.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yasir Shah picks up a wicket

SL 104/3 from 23.2 Overs

They require 138 runs to win from 160 deliveries remaining

 

[Red Devil]

Wheres Zulfiqar Baber?

He should have been in the team

 

[*sallu*]

143-3 in 30 overs

99 from 20 needed
Looks heavily in the Lankan's favour

 

[*sallu*]

Sri Lanka A require another 83 runs with 6 wickets and 16.1 overs remaining

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Irfan got the 4th wicket - so thats 2/22 from 7 overs - both wickets bowled. Not bad, not bad at all

 

[AZ]

hmm, sounds like a helluva match going on! Irfan and Shafiq doing the business

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Rr: 4.68
rrr: 5.17

 

[*sallu*]

Still slightly in the Lankans favour

1 more wicket and its game on

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Irfan got the 4th wicket - so thats 2/22 from 7 overs - both wickets bowled. Not bad, not bad at all

not to mention he clean bowled chandimal that is lanka's best batsman

 

[Sir john]

Sri Lanka A require another 79 runs with 6 wickets and 15.0 overs remaining

 

[AZ]

Karunaratne ko out karooo

 

[*sallu*]

Sri Lanka A require another 56 runs with 6 wickets and 11.3 overs remaining

 

[Sir john]

Karunaratne ko out karooo

he is the dangerman now.issed:

 

[AZ]

get the quicks one, Azeem!!!!

spinners won't do the job, use Hammad, he can come back!

 

[Golden arm]

very bad captaincy by Azam.
he should have tried shehryar ghani or hammad instead of asad shafique.
the match is pretty much lost.

 

[*sallu*]

Should be an easy win for the Lankans from here

 

[AZ]

and Junaid Khan gets the wickets! wasting time with the spinners!!! someone needs to bowl well now.

 

[*sallu*]

Wicket for Junaid Khan

Sri Lanka A require another 48 runs with 5 wickets and 60 balls remaining

The centurian Karunaratne is still batting

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

48 needed from 60 with 5 wickets left

 

[*sallu*]

and Junaid Khan gets the wickets! wasting time with the spinners!!! someone needs to bowl well now.

You couldn't blame Ghumman for saving some overs for the quickies

They've got about 1-2 overs left each (Talha, Irfan and Junaid)

Introduced him at just the right time I think
