[Geordie Ahmed]

Tanvir beaten

30 from 25 balls

 

[asifp]

Gul saab ko chakke marne hai

 

[sohaibsyed]

so tense

 

[MIG]

Inti hoping for a Pak V NZ WC semi final type result

 

[Inswinger]

Are you watching the same match as the rest of us? Malik has gotten us home couple of times in very tight situation.

Anything McBoom says about Malik should be taken with a bucket of salt...

 

[taqi]

one good over for PAk

 

[Somali Pirate]

what the hell just happened in here?

i left when it was 52-0. what kind of BS is this?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

30 off 24 needed

 

[asifp]

guys look at the bright side, atleast we know the importance of Moyo and Alam might finally get his chance

 

[sohaibsyed]

malik has to do something brilliant

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

another dot ball

30 from 24 balls - RRR starting to get too high

 

[MIG]

Tanvir has to take a risk - there is no point waiting now.

 

[Saj]

saj extremely classy last couple of posts. raise a roohafza today on your contributions. direct attacks are definitely recommended

whoa steady on there old boy. What direct attack? You make strong statements and dont hold back when it comes to giving out stick.

I want you to justify how you can determine whether a player is an all rounder or not after watching him for 13 deliveries and for the first time in your life?

 

[shafkath]

as sir alex ferguson once said: 'cricket, bloody hell': who is benifiting from this powerplay

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

what the hell just happened in here?

This is Pakistan cricket

 

[iafzal]

They are still playing too slow. They will probably need 15 of last over if they keep going like this.

 

[asifp]

maybe we can play Shoaib Akhtar as a batsman/

 

[MIG]

Hilfenhaus coming up - will this be the one Tanvir will go after?

 

[Sparhawk]

Hilfenhaus coming on.. hes got some pace but that might work in our favor

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hilfenhaus to bowl

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hilfenhaus back too in the attack!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Yeah having Gul in wouldn't be such a bad idea. He can hit !!

 

[Saj]

I think Tanvir should be the one playing the big shots here. Instead we have seen half hearted batting from both Arafat and Tanvir, bith of whom who can strike a good cricket ball.

 

[Inswinger]

what the hell just happened in here?

i left when it was 52-0. what kind of BS is this?

Misbah, Afridi, and Akmal played suicidal shots.

 

[asifp]

Yaar how far have we fallen!

 

[Mercenary]

Not couple of times, just once against Sri Lanka recently in Canada. Even then Fawad Alam had to break the shackles with a couple of sixes first up.

Malik typically plays these innings where he plays for his not outs and for once I'd like him to dig us out of this hole.

And of course had Malik got himself out like Afridi and Misbah going for a big shot then it would be because Malik couldnt handle the pressure.

 

[shafkath]

c'mon malik straight and hard!

 

[GQ]

This is an important over!

 

[Sparhawk]

That should have been 2!

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Pakistan should save wickets for at least one more over, whilst picking up singles at 4/5 an over. If this game goes to the last over, with 3 wickets in hand, Pakistan may just sneak home

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Single from Malik

29 from 23

 

[On_the_up]

Nerve racking stuff this.

Fear not though we'll be ok !

What say now?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Gul is feeling the heat already!

 

[Sparhawk]

Gullie waving to the camera while hes waiting to come on.. legend!!! ) ) )

 

[asifp]

Malik does not want to slog

 

[feather]

Gul under pressure there as well. I hope we do not lose a wicket here.

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Misbah, Afridi, and Akmal played suicidal shots.

I think we should ad Y khan to that list.

 

[shafkath]

the flicked six coming up from tanvir

 

[Inswinger]

Tanvir needs to throw the kitchen sink at these deliveries.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

damn - gone

Tanvir out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir Out!

 

[Lethal]

Tanvir gone.

 

[sohaibsyed]

gone tanvir

 

[asifp]

Gullie waving to the camera while hes waiting to come on.. legend!!! ) ) )

hopefully we wont need him

 

[UP]

Tanvir out

 

[Sparhawk]

Malik does not want to slog

He'l have to now.. the slogger's gone

 

[sohaibsyed]

its upto gul and malik

 

[shafkath]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Gullie waving to the camera while hes waiting to come on.. legend!!! ) ) )

[Khabri420]

Gul needs to go nuts here

 

[MIG]

Had to happen. Tanvir has to risk it.

What have Pakistan done to themselves?

 

[saeed-sohail]

tanvir saab chale gae

 

[Inswinger]

Wow....

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

And of course had Malik got himself out like Afridi and Misbah going for a big shot then it would be because Malik couldnt handle the pressure.

Tanvir, not Malik.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

29 from 22 balls

Its all down to Malik and Gul

 

[McBoom]

Anything McBoom says about Malik should be taken with a bucket of salt...

Well can you blame me? Look whats happening.

 

[Saj]

What say now?

tactics have been all wrong in the last 6 or 7 overs.

Tanvir and Arafat can hit the ball hard, instead they have been messing about and there goes Tanvir - another ridiculous innings

 

[MIG]

Wait and See...

 

[asifp]

so much for playing ARafat and Tanvir to have a long tail

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats she on about ?!

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

damn.

 

[Syndrome]

This is where I miss Inzy. If hes there instead of Malik right now, he takes us home.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Whats she on about ?!

she doesnt have a clue cos its our Hopes on the ropes

 

[MIG]

Inability to make good English signs by Pakistanis is worrying.

 

[sohaibsyed]

match over game set

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Malik run out - and the match is gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik gone!

 

[UP]

Malik run out

 

[Lethal]

Out. Malik gone

 

[MIG]

IDIOT Malik - run out and good night

 

[Oxy]

Malik run out

 

[Sparhawk]

Malik's run out

Thats the match says waqar

 

[Syndrome]

thats the match bhaiyon

 

[<< Rashid >>]

Them free singles Pakistan gave earlier could be very signficant.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nee chance now - might aswell have a swing at it and go out with a bang

 

[shafkath]

wot was that

 

[feather]

We are done1

 

[Oxy]

Good night to all..

 

[Serendipity]

malik run ou tame

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Thanks for the entertainment Pakistan!

Malik you really need to see what you just did! SO SHOULD THE OTHERS!!!

Why even run and get Gul on strike?!
