[Hasan Agha]

This match is on March 3rd 2007, just a week before the World Cup begins. Please, if anyone knows the squads for this exciting fixture - post 'em.

I'm sure, everyone here who lives in Canada(mainly t.dot) would be looking forward to going there.

Peace, and Allah Hafiz,
Hasan.

Ticket prices range from $25-55 depending on where you get a seat. Buy your tickets from ticketmaster.ca

for complete squads, check out www.cricketfrenzy.com

about the tickets, i am selling the tickets for this game at york. the seats i have are south of the pitch, so if any of the PP-ers want to go, just give me a shout.
ticketmaster.ca tickts come down to around $39 whereas the tickets i am selling are $35 and are one of the better seats in the house.
In any case, hope to see most of the PPers there.

 

[djkamii]

looking forward to this one, can't wait. see u guys there!

 

[Rudi hater]

Rashid Latif, Wasim and Waqar (possibly), Abdul Qadir, Maindad, Aamir Sohail, Ghaffar Kazmi, Saeed Anwar, Ijaz Ahmed.

 

[DotCom]

anyone know what tier is better for viewing? There are only 3 types of tickets... so I assume upper and middle deck, and lower deck....

lower deck may not be a good angle .. anyone been to rogers center?

 

[Oxy]

Usually in 3 tier stadia - the middle tier offers the optimuym view.

thats what I thought ..

but will I make a big mistake if I get tier 2 tickets... and all the tier 1 people get to see the Legends up close? goto the railings, get autographs and reach out to them even for a handshake by the dugouts?

If its autographs and photos you want, then standing up for the whole game in the lower tier is where its at

Lo, maine kya kiya hai Aamir ke bachay!? Bring Andas for Venkatapathy Raju and Mongia (possibly for Aamir Sohail as well), not for us!

 

[kablooee87]

[the_game]

In the illest hood of Scarborough . Seriously, I live in Scarborough and will probably take the subway to Rogers Centre.

hmm scarborough eh? interesting. I'm staying in Mississauga until April...and I'll definitely be taking the subway to the match.

 

[the_game]

hmm scarborough eh? interesting. I'm staying in Mississauga until April...and I'll definitely be taking the subway to the match.

Do you know what row you and Amir are sitting in? I'm in 103 I think. Not completely sure though, but its certainly in the 100 range.

 

[Amir]

Really? I was just in Scarborough on Monday! I was captaining Laurier in UTSC tournament.....yeah we were the team that got destroyed.

 

[Amir]

Do you know what row you and Amir are sitting in? I'm in 103 I think. Not completely sure though, but its certainly in the 100 range.

I believe its 134 or 131. We bought the cheap ticekts. We could meet though at like a pizza pizza or something during innings break. Email me your cell or something.

 

[Amir]

Lo, maine kya kiya hai Aamir ke bachay!? Bring Andas for Venkatapathy Raju and Mongia (possibly for Aamir Sohail as well), not for us!

you are going with the York Uni section. That warrants undas.

 

[m_sohail]

you are going with the York Uni section. That warrants undas.

York uni section will be the place to be!

 

[Amir]

York uni section will be the place to be!

Kabo, remind me to buy two batches of undas. We may need extra..."just in case."

 

[m_sohail]

Kabo, remind me to buy two batches of undas. We may need extra..."just in case."

Amir, why stop at two?

Bring 4 or 5, just in case.

I guess this might be the best time to mention I won't be going unfortunately, but please don't let that stop you from throwing eggs.

 

[kablooee87]

York uni section will be the place to be!

well if that's settled, how do you like 'em, over easy or raw?

on a serious note: A mini PP meetup (just to say hi and stuff wouldn't be a bad idea)

Theek hai but you didn't tell us how you like em?

Yes Dotcom lives in CT but its not that far a trip to see the likes of Saeed anwar doing the sajda (oh how i hope he hits 100).

BTW, I will be wearing my 92 World Cup Jersey (finally I have a reason and occasion to wear it!!!!). Kabo told me he will be wearing a women's nightgown. There shouldn't be many cross dressers but if you see one, expect it to be him!

But game, can we possibly exchange our cell numbers or something? Can you email me through PP feature or my email is amir51@hot...

Yeah, I'm sending my number to OXY and he will forward it to you. Call me at the match and we will meet up for sure. As far as undays go, I like the desi golden ones .

 

[Amir]

Amir, have you been having those dreams again?

Yeah game, you should see me there. I will be wearing a women's night gown. You can't miss me!

See, you seem to answer your own question. I have a factual post that you said it.

 

[kablooee87]

Hey, hey, hey. Falsely quoting is crossing the line. You gotta snap out of your delusional state.

On topic: What level of competition are you guys expecting at the match?

I don't expect any serious cricket match. I am going for Wasim! (Saw him for the first time in a double wicket tournament in New Jersey).

yes fellas..... me and my crew are driving 8 hours to see Saeed Anwar hit 100 and Sajda ... inshallah..

any chance to meet these players?

Pak Passion needs their own Section .and flags..

 

[DotCom]

another idea....

us PPers need to send a MESSAGE to our PAkistani Legends..

We can do this by having similar Signs/posters...

for example

"Down with D.N.A. and Dope"
"Where is the PCB Constitution?

do we want to use this opportunity to voice our concerns to the likes of LEGENDS?

 

[Amir]

Hold on, when the hell are they coming to York!? I'll go lie down infront of the gymnasium right now.

Yeah don't you know? They are doing this thing called "Learn from the Legends" at York the day after match. Its like 20 bucks or something of another.

thats true TG ..

oh man if we drive up 8 hours to hear that Wasim aint there, and other bigger names are replaced by lesser ones... DotCom will have to lay the smack down ..

I go to York, but have yet to receive any info on this from the Cricket club. I'll post any notification of updates, it should be fun.

No prob bro. I am Laurier Cricket Association President and I am all about promoting cricket whereever I can.

Yup Mac has a cricket team there too. A pretty decent one I heard. I will forward Oxy the contact info of a guy you can talk too from there, whenever Oxy wakes up....he will forward you it.

Kabloee.. i dont think we'd be selling tickets at the door because its an early morning event plus we have limited tickets and we dont want 'pangas' at the door incase its a sell out. so i doubt it.
try buying the tickets in advance.

and Aamir, youre the Laurier President? were at UTSC last week for the interuniversity tournament there?

 

[off_the_hook]

I've got free tickets from work (as I am an employee of Rogers).

Too bad Waqar isn't playing.

The York University event seems wicked. Is their a discount for alumni

You were one of the openers right? Were you the one with long hair?

Haha its okay, you don'tneed to be sorry. Its all a learning expierence.

My players kept calling you Dhoni due to your hitting ability. But I can't complain...I was the one who bowled you with that awfully short off spinner which hit leg stump! THe minute I bowled it, I am like "crap he is gonna murder it!" Thankfully you missed!

was that a plug in for

Danish b Amir

now what did Danish score?

 

[Tania]

I am coming ALL THE WAY from Edmonton, for this match!! And I am absolutely at a loss of words that Saeed Anwar isn't playing!!! He was one of the reasons (apart from W.Akram) that i was coming!! Man, i feel sick to my stomach...i hope they don't go changing any of the other players.....now i just hope the match is worth my coming ALL THE WAYYYY

 

[Gasherbrum]

the match itself probably won't be worth it. the general atmosphere will.

just found out my brother has been asked to be the 'stage manager' for the entertainment during the event. this is after he had already bought tickets.
