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

[Ghoshtbuster]

and lol @ bangladesh.

its not like the Pak bowlers have been outstanding.

 

[dblock]

as i was unable to watch it. can someone please clarify what happened with the drop if sheikh is right cause their is no sign on cricinfo commentary that akmal dropped a catch.

so did akmal drop a sitter?

wasn't a catch, just a regulation take off a missed delivery. That has been about it though.

 

[pakistanbest]

any links for this match plz?

 

[pakistanbest]

this is pak's best odi team with the inclusions of akhtar and younis. what a bowling performance. good to see gul back to form

 

[shabs100]

Are the guns varying or are they completely misguiding on the speeds? They showed gul touching 140kph. The highest for sohail has been around 135kph.

The speed guns are crap.

I think they only have one, and it is set up at one end. So if you are bowling from the other end - it gives the speed as the ball is at the batsman.

Or they are just straight up crap.

Relax dude.. it's only Bangladesh ! ! ( no offence )

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

to be perfectly honest and making an analysis on a pure judgemental basis, id say that sohail khans speeds are overated. The speed gun is showing deliveries within the range of 110 - 130 kph.

I agree, he just doesn't look like a 150 km/h bowler to me, though I would love to be proven wrong.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Gul has been around 135, with a couple of slower ones in there.

Asif was bowling from the other end - he is slower - but it was showing as low as 100ks. dont read too much into the speeds here.

 

[shabs100]

ditto!

 

[Oxy]

ARY took 25 overs tomiss their 1st ball.

I think thats a new record

 

[Oxy]

Stumiping chance - looks IN

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

no they missed one ages ago, S Khans first delivery i think

 

[Oxy]

no they missed one ages ago, S Khans first delivery i think

Oh well - they keep their old record then!

 

[shabs100]

Gul has been around 135, with a couple of slower ones in there.

I dont think the commies have clocked on quite yet. They are basing their analysis as if the speed guns are fully working.

 

[McBoom]

Saqib batting very sensibly, the other batsmen should learn a thing or two from him.

 

[pakistanbest]

Relax dude.. it's only Bangladesh ! ! ( no offence )

but it shows the bowlers r getting their confidence and rythm back so looks like they are regaining their form especially gul

 

[shabs100]

Saqib batting very sensibly, the other batsmen should learn a thing or two from him.

definitely. Wouldnt be surprised if ashraful was replaced as captain by this guy. Seems a good head on his shoulders.

 

[dblock]

I agree, he just doesn't look like a 150 km/h bowler to me, though I would love to be proven wrong.

He was up to 145 kph in the last match, 140 kph on many occasions, which gets him to around 90mph+ but of course not Shoaib Akhtar pace, not that type of bowler.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

I Think Pakistan Should Enforce The Follow On

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Seriously im very disappointed with b/d...they once again fail to be competitive.

Take nothing away from pak though

 

[McBoom]

Good decision by Bucknor there.

 

[pakistanbest]

bucknor getting my confidence in him back. any1 agrees with me?

 

[pakistanbest]

111/8. bang playing very poor and continuing their inconsistency with the bat.

 

[161]

reverse swing from gul

 

[Mercenary]

what's wrong with these speed guns? Gul just bowled a pacy swinging yorker and it shows up as 128kph!!

 

[Uzi]

Will BD get to 150?

 

[Easa]

Good bowling performance by us and I like this pace attack as well. Maybe for the last game we should bring in Riaz instead of Gul, who's had some match practice. Or maybe we can field a 4 man fast bowling attack, and rest Yousuf.

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

BD might even get 250 if they play safe

 

[161]

BD 8 down but milking the spinners ... would be nice to see Malik just go for the kill and just bowl out the fast bowlers here !

 

[down4whatever]

cant finish off the tail.

 

[dblock]

Asif hasn't come back to bowl...I'm starting to get worried.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Come on! Just two wickets left. Asif should bowl now!

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

I hope Shakib gets his century

 

[The Blazer]

Mohammad Yousuf...What are you doing?

 

[pakistani pride]

Turkish cricket fan merhaba where do you live in Turkey ?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Partnership up to 55

Shakib moves to 80

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

Hope that Shakib gets his 100, and then both get out immediatly

 

[Lara400]

Droppped

 

[TruSachFan]

hope shakib gets to a century here

really deserves it

 

[pakistani pride]

Malik can you bring the pacers back on ? please !

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This is quite a performance from these two.

181-8

 

[161]

BD went from milking our spinners to spanking them .. well this is what happens when we got chicken selectors who wont play 4 fast bowlers and a chicken captain who can't close the deal.

 

[Uzi]

Will they get to 200?

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

Turkish cricket fan merhaba where do you live in Turkey ?

merhaba kardes

I live in Istanbul -Gayrettepe

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Finally Asif comes in...

 

[161]

Mohammad Akram talking some sense .. asking why Wahab and Sarfraz are not playing !?!??!

 

[The Blazer]

Mohammad Akram talking some sense .. asking why Wahab and Sarfraz are not playing !?!??!

Malik going for the ODI record.

 

[down4whatever]

wow.....

 

[pakistani pride]

does malik really think that Asif is a better death bowler then sohail khan, it was sohail that bowled well in the last ODI at the end !

 

[Karachi]

Mohammad Akram talking some sense .. asking why Wahab and Sarfraz are not playing !?!??!

Stupid team selections, Sarfraz should have been given couple of matches.

Fawad should come up in the batting order.


Batting Lineup"

01-Salman Butt
02-Kamran Akmal
03-Bazid Khan
04-Fawad Alam
05-Mohammad Yousef.

 

[pakistani pride]

TCF i am in Izmir now for my thesis

 

[down4whatever]

what is with malik. Why didnt he go for the throat when Bang were 100 odd for 8.

 

[Karachi]

Malik just want to improve his ODI stats..........

 

[SameerM]

Karachi has hit the lineup on the nail

BUT i think MoYo needs replacing with Afridi... or Sarfraz (if he was playing)

 

[W63L35]

what is with malik. Why didnt he go for the throat when Bang were 100 odd for 8.

Agreed but lets not take away anything away from splendid batting by the both batsmen! I hope he gets his 100!

 

[W63L35]

101*

What an innings under pressure!!!!

 

[161]

why is malik not bringing sohail back in ?

nonsense captaincy as per usual.

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

TCF i am in Izmir now for my thesis

NICE BUDDY, İzmir is famous for pretty girls. Which uni do you attend? or is it a phd thesis ?

 

[Mercenary]

Why is Malik bowling himself and not Sohail at the death, I can understand trying to get Asif some confidence by bowling him at the death but Sohail should be on for mlaik

 

[pakistani pride]

Dokuz Eylul you can add me panjanexpress@hotmail.com

Yeah the girls are ****

 

[W63L35]

97 runs for 9th wicket.......5th highest ever!

[TruSachFan]

for BD's sake, lets hope mortazas batting form also carries onto his bowling form
this batting should raise his confidence

well played shakib btw

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Murtaza goes !! Asif gets his second wicket

 

[Xoib]

Mohammad Asif to Mashrafe Mortaza, OUT, caught! Good slower delivery from Asif, Mortaza looking to go over the fence mishits it high in the air down the ground to long off, Fawad Alam judges it well to take the catch.

Asif learning the art of death bowling?

 

[Karachi]

Thanks God! it was fawad Alam who took a perfect catch. Not Mohammad Yousef

 

[down4whatever]

Why isnt Sohail bowling?

 

[Karachi]

Why isnt Sohail bowling?

Because Malik want to take another wicket.

 

[Gunner786]

what the hell is malik doing?

is he the first captain who is stupid enough to let the tail make 100 runs off the spinners?
why not just bring in the pacers and finish them off?

i hope we dont see a repeat of his comments in that 20/20 match which he threw.

what an idiot

 

[down4whatever]

and to think, we had them reeling at 84 - 7 at one point.

pathetic.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Hard to understand why Fawad bowled 4 overs when SOK ended up with only 6.1 overs

 

[pakistani pride]

sohail comes back and picks up an wicket !

3 for 30 quite good. I didnt know malik was sooo selfish !

 

[dblock]

so we bowl them out 20 overs after we should have done.

 

[161]

Malik is an embarrassment.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Poor stuff from Malik in field here lets hope its doesnt bite pakistan in the bum later!

 

[pakistani pride]

sohail should have done enough to play in the next game. lets hope

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

I hope and pray the bangla boys win this match.

 

[Monsee]

I hope and pray the bangla boys win this match.

I hope and pray that your light goes off for a few hours so we can have a peaceful and enjoyable day here at PP for a change...

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

I hope and pray that your light goes off for a few hours so we can have a peaceful and enjoyable day here at PP for a change...

Pray with ur heart cos it ain't workin....

 

[rubel_18]

Congrats to Shakib for playin a sensible knock to save BD's ***, wat a composed innings from him, only if we had more players like him we mite hav been able to make more higher scores.

 

[observer1]

Well played BD
