[OZGOD]

We've pulled the RR down a bit at least.

 

[Kray_jackson7]

well; afridis first time opening in a while. suprised he never went for a big shot earlier. a good innings. and his job is not done. inshallah he will destroy the australia batting line up and we will win by 1 run

 

[Zaad]

Bit early to talk about defeat? The game's barely started.

it was decided yesterday who is going to WIN!

BCCI & Team India's Ticket are booked back for Tommorow

[Poison]

OH !

What a shot by Akmal !

 

[Adeel786]

not quite destroyed if we only win by one run lol

 

[OZGOD]

Too wide and too short, cut away over point for 444444444444

 

[saeed-sohail]

Shaun pollock seems a very nice chap.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Akmal needs to go on from this start hes got here!

 

[Poison]

Afridi was a bit unlucky Mak, he was playing quite well before that last shot.

 

[DonJee]

how was that not a wide?

 

[OZGOD]

Fished outside offtsump, I think YK wants some runs on the board

 

[ajk88]

45/1 after 10

 

[Poison]

Beautiful shot by YK.

 

[who_dares]

444444444444

 

[Zeenix]

:Four by YK

 

[DonJee]

good shot by Younis! 4444444

 

[who_dares]

45-1 after 10 :akmal

 

[Seen Sheen]

YK off the mark with a beauty..

 

[Shayan]

Bowling powerplay taken.

 

[OZGOD]

beautiful drive by YK through point for 44444444444

 

[saeed-sohail]

YK taking 1000 balls to get off the mark some things never change ......hang on he hits a 4 as I type.

 

[iafzal]

good shot by YK but minimal foot movement.

 

[godzilla]

how was that not a wide?

totally agree, theres no way he could have done anything more to try to reach that one!

 

[OZGOD]

oh no Twatson is on!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The pitch is keeping low, what might be a good target?

 

[OZGOD]

Get Twatson off!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

Watson will trouble the batsmen with his 'choohay'

 

[OZGOD]

Good to see they put in a deep cover point. Given how Twatson bowls that guy will be busy

 

[Poison]

Ajmal will run riot on this track.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 up in 1

 

[ajk88]

50/1 after 11

 

[Zeenix]

four by YK

 

[godzilla]

do you think the nstructions for akmal at this point should be to go nuts here with allegedly solid batsmen to come? to use the last of the pp overs?

watson bowling well - i think it means the balls not coming onto the bat. its going to be a pitch for the dibble of the dobble. rana should be good on this unless the pitch changes too much.

 

[Poison]

My god Kamran's off side shots are an absolute joy to watch.

 

[amar1212]

nice shot selection by yunis so far

 

[saeed-sohail]

Deep cover there good captaincy by punter.Thats where dhoni failed the other day.There were a thousands behind squar on off side but he did not put no fielder there.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Couple more to Kami

 

[the true passionist]

50 up for Pak. Steady start...It is important for Younis and Akmal to focus on getting into form before the final stage of the tournament.

 

[amar1212]

damn aussies always field so good

 

[Seen Sheen]

Good to see they put in a deep cover point. Given how Twatson bowls that guy will be busy

here you go..even sweeper was mere spectator on that occasion..

 

[OZGOD]

Good save. As long as he keeps hitting them in the air it works for me

 

[saeed-sohail]

Good start this considering its an early start.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

 

[who_dares]

58-1 after 12

 

[Afridi_Fan]

58/1 after 12

 

[OZGOD]

In the air but safe...wish we had a gully

 

[saeed-sohail]

Akmal is in the zone.

 

[godzilla]

this ground is so small, they just touch the ball and if its in a gap itll go for four. the winning team has to be the one with the more disciplined bowling i would have thought.

 

[OZGOD]

Overcompensates and Akmal hits a 444444444444 over the covers

 

[iafzal]

Akmal is starting to fly after a slow start. I hope he can last 10 more overs. Pak should be set.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Oops,it was the sucker ball ,Kakmal miscued it but went through with the shot and brought himself a 4..

 

[bluffmasterv2]

this ground is so small, they just touch the ball and if its in a gap itll go for four. the winning team has to be the one with the more disciplined bowling i would have thought.

The ground isnt small, its just the outfield is lightning fast, anything hit into a gap will go for a boundary.

 

[godzilla]

great fielding change by ponting, pack the offside, and deep leg.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan Building Nicley here!

59/1

 

[godzilla]

The ground isnt small, its just the outfield is lightning fast, anything hit into a gap will go for a boundary.

fair enough.

 

[UP]

Good start by Pakistan.

I think Imran Nazir should have given one more chance.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

score update plz??

 

[who_dares]

60-1 after 13

 

[tauseefm]

60/1 overs 13

 

[DonJee]

he is chasing everything outside off stump @ Kamran and it may well be his downfall, he'll probably get out edging the ball to the keeper or slip!

 

[saeed-sohail]

In the air but safe...wish we had a gully

Thats where waugh,s aus and cronje,s SA use to be so good with there field placings against pak.
Third man single is a release shot for pak batsmen so gully is not a bad position.

 

[RexRex]

india 60/1... better than expected

 

[who_dares]

Good start by Pakistan.

I think Imran Nazir should have given one more chance.

he has hurt his finger to mis out this one :iamlegend

 

[itduzz]

Afridi was wasted at the top. Poor captaincy by Younis to send him against Lee.

 

[ajk88]

[saeed-sohail]

shot akmal 4.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Good start by Pakistan.

I think Imran Nazir should have given one more chance.

agreed it seems like they have made room for Misbah. Who will just block and block.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kami playing well for India

 

[iafzal]

The best shot of the day for now by Akmal

 

[Seen Sheen]

Shot Akmal..That was a gorgious extra cover drive..MJ is either bowling too short or too full.. :akmal

 

[who_dares]

Afridi was wasted at the top. Poor captaincy by Younis to send him against Lee.

some critics ) )

 

[PapaBear]

india 60/1... better than expected

yeah right!!!!

 

[Munda Pakistani]

india 60/1... better than expected

Especially since they'll probably bowl better today.

 

[cricketpassion]

india 60/1... better than expected

Wake up its pakistan 60-1 :aamir

 

[who_dares]

65-1 after 14

 

[godzilla]

im impressed with pontings captaincy and field placing. put in a deep backward gully for akmal, and he already stopped one of is trade mark deflections for a single to thrid man.
