[abc_to_xyz]

That is an awfully specific wish Is he that bad at running between wickets?

Yes, infact, he comes 1 foot outside the crease each time he plays the ball..

 

[cricketkashmir]

Boycott and waqar in the commentary box..interesting

 

[Amjid Javed]

Butt doing a great role as nightwatchmen here! Boring!

zzzzzzzzz!

 

[Umta]

i am enjoying Boycott commentary more than Butt's batting

 

[Lethal]

Butt 19 off 42 balls

Shazad 14 off 18 balls.

40 off 10 overs

Good start for Pakistan. Butt playing slowly but the score is not that big.

 

[slix10]

Score guys?

Cricinfo up?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 40/0 after 10 overs.

159 needed from 40 overs.

BBC Headlines:

Twenty-five possible swine flu cases have been reported in the UK, of which 17 are still being investigated, the health secretary says.

 

[mostakim]

shehzad plays like he has immense of time to play the delivery....

 

[Big Daddy]

i dont have a problem with batters playing slow. its a small target and a W is a W. The problem is butt is looking to score and is getting beat and most of his shorts are edges

 

[spectator]

at last butt takes a single.. congrats to him

 

[ali110]

Butt Sahab, please get yourself a big favor and injured yourself for the remaining of the series so that we can try out some Naseer as well, if he is fit again.

the flu has also come to norway. Allah moaf kare.

 

[Big Daddy]

ok shahzad is the real deal, but has to be dialed out

 

[PakPassionate]

Abey Q peechay parh gaye BUTT k ...sabar kar lo zaalimo....theek ja raha hai runrate....

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 singles in 3 balls.

43/0 now.

 

[UP]

Beautiful pull shot by Shahzad for 1

 

[Lethal]

Good pull shot from Shazad. 1 run to him. well controlled.

4 to Butt

 

[UP]

4 more runs

 

[saeed-sohail]

What I dont like about butt is that he blocks and then takes a risk to score now thats not the way to go about it one should look for a run every ball with orthodox batting.

 

[spectator]

shahzad looks a good player

 

[MIG]

Which one of you freeloaders will write the match report tonite ?

Cmon - one of you can do the Aus innings and the other the Pak one.

BD ? CricketKashmir, Lethal, AJ ?

 

[Amjid Javed]

48/0 after 11 overs

Butt ends over with 4!

 

[cricwiz]

What if Shahzad plays today a gem of an innings to contribute to Pakistan's success (inshAllah)...

Would Aussies again make a case against him and ask Umpires to report that "his batting action is not clean" ....

 

[UP]

tight wide given by umpire rauf

 

[Oxy]

Great shot by Shezad - 4

53-0

 

[Plasma]

4 more to shezad! over the top!

 

[Sheikh]

Shot yar.

 

[Lethal]

What a shot from Shazad. Improvisation at its best. Top shot. 4 all the way.

 

[saeed-sohail]

now thats what you call a shot 6666

 

[UP]

We can have a good opening pair in form of Nasir and Shahzad.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Lovely shot from shezad, Paks 50 up now...

53/0

 

[Umta]

he is a legend. Great balance even Boycott enjoyed it

 

[Oxy]

Pulled for 4 by Shehzad!

Clarke being dismantled

 

[Plasma]

Another four! Pulled!

He needs to calm down a bit...

 

[saeed-sohail]

another choka yes

 

[rhussain33]

Nice pull shot by shezad for 4, got enough bat on it

 

[Lethal]

Pull shot from Shazad. Didn't get all of it but a top shot. Shazad continues to amaze.

 

[Umta]

another 4 by legend

 

[BoomBoomAfridi]

Pull shot, another 4 for Shazad!

Looks impressive!

 

[Sheikh]

Making a statement here. Clark ain't no whipping boy, this is quite impressive.

 

[UP]

See what difference aggressive opener can make.

We need batters like Shahzad who can clob the ball at will.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Ahmed Shehzad does not seem to be that good on the off side.

 

[PakPassionate]

another 4 by legend

LEGEND?

 

[Serendipity]

this kid is good, solid, like him, just need to appreciate and put a real price on wicket and pick teh balls, good luck, mashallah good talent

 

[mnoman15]

Does Shahzad play on off side ever ?

 

[Umta]

COngatulations to whole Pakistan. After 10 years of fishing we have found a steady opening pair to open innings for Pakistan.

 

[Lethal]

Which one of you freeloaders will write the match report tonite ?

Cmon - one of you can do the Aus innings and the other the Pak one.

BD ? CricketKashmir, Lethal, AJ ?

I'll leave that to you. Busy later with plenty to do. Anyway I enjoyed your last report, it was a good read.

 

[IAJ]

if Shehzad doesn`t get out he will have a very decent average after 2 matches InshaAllah. Spin introduced

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 57/0 after 12

Shezad looking very good!

 

[Lethal]

Off spinner Hauritz on now. Flighted it to Butt. Edgy single to Butt.

 

[wazim87]

COngatulations to whole Pakistan. After 10 years of fishing we have found a steady opening pair to open innings for Pakistan.

We always say that, let one of them get out for a duck, then we will see the response.

 

[Sheikh]

Let's see how he is against the slow stuff...

 

[mnoman15]

In next match Aussies are not going to bowl on his legs or straight so it would be real exam for Shahzad ...

 

[snow_leopard_pk]

Off spinner Hauritz on now. Fighted it to Butt. Edgy single to Butt.

Aussies love fighting.

 

[PakPassionate]

) BILKUL.......humhari awam bhi bus "Charhty Sooraj Ki Pooja" karti hai...

 

[Lethal]

59-0 off 13 overs.

140 needed of 37 overs.

Hopes is coming on now. Shazad charged him. Slight miss hit but he got a single.

 

[cricwiz]

In next match Aussies are not going to bowl on his legs or straight so it would be real exam for Shahzad ...

My observation till now says that the kid knows about his offstump, its v v crucial for being a successful opener.. So if Aussies try to bowl him outside offstump, probably he would leave them...

 

[Sheikh]

I don't think Shehzad cares much for medium pacers.

 

[Lethal]

Aussies love fighting.

They sure do.

 

[Big Daddy]

BD ? CricketKashmir, Lethal, AJ ?

radha mera cpa exam hai next week

 

[godzilla]

cricinfo back up.

when was the last time we had a 50 opening partnership against a non minnow side? other than sri lanka in the last series - i think we probably did in the first game, no?

 

[Zaad]

i love the mic stumps

 

[saeed-sohail]

shezad does not seem to lack confidence which is a good sign

 

[Lethal]

Shazad plays a delicate cut shot to third man.

 

[Indiafan]

Good going by Pak

 

[Oxy]

So juvenille these Aussie players.

Throwing stuff at he camera?

Pathetic - even if they did with a 'fake smile'

 

[cricketkashmir]

radha mera cpa exam hai next week

i can do that for any innings

 

[Oxy]

I'd throw a brick back at them.

Laugh at that!

 

[Zaad]

oxy...

[Sheikh]

Beautiful Blockage By Butt.

First maiden.

Butt 28 off 57 balls

Shazad 27 off 33 balls.

Well played. Butt on the slower side.
