About an hour to go for the toss on a pitch which is rumored to have some moisture in it. If that's the case then whoever wins the toss may be tempted to field first. With an expected attack of Khan, Riaz, and Asif, a helpful pitch may make life very difficlult for the Bangladeshi batsmen. Looking forward to a good performance by our pacers and some runs from Bazid and Alam.


Pakistan (likely) 1 Salman Butt, 2 Kamran Akmal, 3 Bazid Khan, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Shoaib Malik (capt), 6 Misbah-ul-Haq, 7 Fawad Alam, 8 Shahid Afridi, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Mohamamd Asif, 11 Sohail Khan

Bangladesh (likely) 1 Nazimuddin, 2 Shahriar Nafees, 3 Aftab Ahmed, 4 Mohammad Ashraful (capt), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Farhad Reza, 8 Dhiman Ghosh , 9 Mashrafe Mortaza, 10 Shahadat Hossain, 11 Abdur Razzak
 
Just tuned into ARY - Its not listed on ARY's EPG?

They are showing some PAk drama after the nesw at 11am!
 
^^

It's showing on Geo Super and Ten Sports here in the land of the Pak!
 
I will kill them if they do....

I really hate ARY broadcasting. They have all kind of problems, like switchting to another match, going into commercial WITHIN an over, no commentary etc etc.

ARY are showing Hollywood film previews....

What a joke!
 
ARY (UK) are basically showing a trail of film previews like you see when you go to the cinema.

Luckily this ones for a Pacino film....
 
ARY will show the match i m 90% sure they start their coverage 15 minutes before the acutaul match

Pacino movie or Pak V Bang

not a hard decision really
 
^^ remember previously they switched from showing PAK match to India match....

I really didnt understand why... 99% of their customers are Pakistani, and they switch to India match :|
 
Gul has come back in for Rao. Asif for Tanvir. Riaz remains without a game. The rest are the same.
 
Here we go.

Someone at ARY has pressed the magic cricket button

I bought that film on a DvD more than year ago.
So they are basically playing OLD film previews!

Muppets!
 
Jeremy Coney talks a lot of garbage! Its a requirement of ARY!
 
Bangladesh win the toss and will bat first
 
DOnt think MAlik would have bowled 1st if he had won the toss!
 
Guys Bang Batting was established before the Pacino movie started
 
Malik asked to comment on the pitch.

He says 'Honestly, I dont know'.

I might employ that strategy on gloomy days

Asif , Gul and Sohail Khan.. thats our pace attack for today.

What no Shoaib Akhtar whats going on???
 
So we're seeing the SAAG attack today (Sohail, Asif, Afridi, Gul). :D
 
Malik said he would have bowled first had he won the toss.

Looks a beautiful day in Multan, pitch seems devoid of grass though there should be a bit in it for the seamers early on.


I'm quite excited to see the trio of Asif, Gul, and Khan in action.
 
ARY trying to break the record for most adverts shown between the toss and start of play!
 
so we going with an inexperienced bowling lineup..

captain is unsure of the pitch

batting is also being experimented with


All in all a confident start to the 4th odi!!
 
With 3 mins to go, should our team be limbering up / taking their places - rather than having photos taken?
 
7 Fawad Alam, 8 Shahid Afridi, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Mohamamd Asif, 11 Sohail Khan

who got replaced by Gul then?

iftikar and Tanvir taken out.
 
3 balls into the first over and Malik removes one of the slips. Good aggressive stuff skipper!
 
weak bowling.. as in experience and form wise

Gul is the most experienced bowler compared to Asif, Sohail... leaving Afridi with lots of responsibility to show the way
 
Good ball there by gul, hitting his natural length, getting a bit of movement off the pitch and finding the edge.

i have a feeling we might lose this one.
Wow!! The fact that you can make that prediction so early in the game! You legend!

We're not exactly up against the most experienced batting line up in the world you know.
