Pakistan v Bangladesh | 4th ODI | Multan | 16/4/08

[The Blazer]

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

Weak bowling line-up?

You need medical help.

 

[Oxy]

Gul strikes again

2 wkts in 3 balls

6-2

 

[The Blazer]

Gone! Two wickets in one over!

 

[Lara400]

Gul strikes again

2 wkts in 3 balls

6-2

May as well put the Pacino movie back on

 

[sehban]

6/2

 

[The Blazer]

As in How much do I pay you

As much as you want.

 

[dblock]

and again!

 

[Oxy]

BD 6-2 off 2 overs

 

[Lara400]

Both bowlers have terrible ODI averages they can do with the wickets

 

[The Blazer]

and again!

Bit late.

 

[Lara400]

Bangs version of Afridi walks to the wicket

 

[161]

very poor batting from BD thus far

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

Tamim is looking in good form...

 

[dblock]

i have a feeling we might lose this one.

Any reason why?

 

[Oxy]

Great catch!

Asif gets 1!

10-3

 

[sehban]

10/3 3overs...

 

[Sheikh]

i have a feeling we might lose this one.

)

 

[161]

BD batsmen in suicide mode ..

 

[Sheikh]

Any reason why?

He'd enjoy Asif and Gul getting smacked around instead of picking up wickets.

 

[SameerM]

Weak bowling line-up?

You need medical help.

i said WEAK as in performance and form wise

 

[dblock]

Those Asif searing fast balls paying off.

 

[Lara400]

Absolutely hopeless!!

No wonder there is only 34 fans in the crowd!!

 

[SameerM]

maybe the BD coach needs to motivate the BD batsmen to STAY out there by giving them a money reward or something

at the moment it looks like they all wanna go home!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good start for pakistan, dont understand team selection though we should be trying out more fringe players.

 

[SameerM]

i think Malik is trying to use the team that will play against the stronger teams

Sohail and Fawad ARE being tested so..

 

[Lara400]

Good start for pakistan, dont understand team selection though we should be trying out more fringe players.

They are the lot of them minus Yousuf

 

[Oxy]

14-3 off 4 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Alot? Like who?

Is there any need to play Akmal, afridi in this game? why not try kamran hussain and safraz ahmed?

 

[pakistani pride]

how was fast are they ?

 

[in_cutter]

There is no pace on Asif's deliveries.
2.5 Mohammad Asif to Tamim Iqbal, no run, driven on the up to mid-off..
2.4 Mohammad Asif to Tamim Iqbal, no run, on middle and leg, pushed to mid-on.
Now there are two short covers in position.
2.3 Mohammad Asif to Tamim Iqbal, 2 runs, too straight from Asif, tucks it around through square leg to the deep.
2.2 Mohammad Asif to Tamim Iqbal, no run, nice straight drive but for no runs as it was hit too straight, hits the stumps at the non-strikers end and deflects to mid-on.
2.1 Mohammad Asif to Tamim Iqbal, 2 runs, good shot, drives on the up past the short cover to the deep.

No matter as long as he is tight and picks up wickets

 

[Sheikh]

They are the lot of them minus Yousuf

Asif bowling at about 70% right now. Just easing in as he should be considering he's hardly bowled in 6 months.

 

[pakistani pride]

how sad that the most potent weapon of the AAG attack is not playing !
Look what effect ot could have had !

 

[Oxy]

Good to see BAzid Khan back in the fold!

 

[Sheikh]

Akmal just dropped any easy take off Gul. That's the 1st for today and about the 5th or 6th fumble of the series.



He's just such an awful keeper.

 

[Lara400]

We have seen the effects he can have

 

[dblock]

Good start for pakistan, dont understand team selection though we should be trying out more fringe players.

Bazid, Fawad, Sohail Khan.

Probably the only other one I would want to see if Sarfraz Ahmed but we have to remember that it would mean being a bowler short then.

 

[Oxy]

Umar Gul gets his 3rd wkt!

16-4

Misbah hanging onto these!

 

[Sheikh]

This is getting really ugly.


Let's bring Sohail Khan on!!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Third wicket for gul and a fine catch by Misbah

 

[dblock]

3 for gul.

 

[Lara400]

This is getting really ugly.


Let's bring Sohail Khan on!!

Can I bowl

 

[dblock]

This is getting really ugly.


Let's bring Sohail Khan on!!

I don't think he's going to have many batsmen to bowl to at this rate.

 

[161]

terrible terrible batting .. BD batsmen thinking about going home already ?

 

[Oxy]

Malik should bring on 'bobbybhai' with his 95MPH leg spinners....

 

[Oxy]

I think Umar Gul is thinking of bowling 'left arm'

 

[Lara400]

So much for captain scoring

 

[the true passionist]

Good start for Pakistan!
I know some would not be happy but i am pleased to see Gul and Asif back after a long time. A couple of games in this series will help them get back into the fold of the team.

 

[Oxy]

16-4 off 6 overs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla wont last more than 25 overs here..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn Man looking at this it feels Afridi wont get to bat or bowl today, Sad

 

[pakistani pride]

Bring on sohail this a great platform for him cant get any better !
Come on sohail !

 

[Oxy]

With so many 'poofy' fashion shows / designers shows on PAk TV - you would have thought it was time for a makeover for our police?

 

[Lara400]

Mahmudullah has a wonderful batting average

 

[Afridi_Fan]

What wrong is it the pitch, the bowlers or the Bangla Deshi Batsmen?`

 

[P4K1 #1]

if bangladesh hit a low total (which is likely now) send afridi to open

 

[161]

lol .. commies making fun of asif's pace

 

[Lara400]

With so many 'poofy' fashion shows / designers shows on PAk TV - you would have thought it was time for a makeover for our police?

I would much rather prefer a mental makeover

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Mahmudullah has a wonderful batting average

And he has made 172 Runs in ODIs

 

[Lara400]

lol .. commies making fun of asif's pace

Theyr sayin we should have Shoaib Akhtar back

 

[Oxy]

Jeremy Coney's mother is no match for Geoff Boycotts grandmother!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

if bangladesh hit a low total (which is likely now) send afridi to open

Afridi for the president

 

[Sheikh]

2 beauties by Asif to finish the over.

 

[Lara400]

Jeremy Coney's mother is no match for Geoff Boycotts grandmother!

At bowling or batting?

 

[Lara400]

Afridi for the president

You have my vote

 

[Afridi_Fan]

At what Speed Asif is bowling?`

 

[P4K1 #1]

Jeremy Coney's mother is no match for Geoff Boycotts grandmother!

I was just about to write that

 

[Oxy]

17-4 off 7 overs

 

[McBoom]

who the hell has bought those useless speed guns ?!?!?

 

[pakistani pride]

Well Asif, akhter and gul will complete our attack. stupid ban ! he would have been playing now normally !

What is Asifs pace BTW ? also its his first game so no worries

 

[Oxy]

BD move into he 20s!

Slashed 4

21-4

 

[the true passionist]

is there something wrong with the speed gun, even Gul is clocking 110.

 

[Isolation]

Well Asif, akhter and gul will complete our attack. stupid ban ! he would have been playing now normally !

What is Asifs pace BTW ? also its his first game so no worries

around 87-89mph

 

[Lara400]

Don't worry you'll get over it

 

[Afridi_Fan]

4 by shakib

 

[Sheikh]

That was out. Shakib was lucky there.

 

[Lara400]

around 87-89mph

Not bad at all thats what Shoaib bowls these days anyway

 

[161]

gul should have had his fourth there ...

 

[pakistani pride]

So again no speed guns. Like some 1 mentioned before there is just a guy sitting there and typing speeds !

 

[pakistani pride]

LARA 400 shoaib is way faster then that.
