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

I don't get why the speed gun is varying so much to balls that looks almost identical in pace.

So again no speed guns. Like some 1 mentioned before there is just a guy sitting there and typing speeds !
yeah, and that guy is stoned out of his mind. Maybe its Akhtar himself ;)
 
Mohammad Akram in the commentary box. Already seems better than that other chap who was pretty awful.
 
Gul's runup is not looking fluent at all.
 
mohd akram is a decent commentator .. way better than most the other guys we've had lately.
 
I dont think there is anything wrong with the speedgun...

Just look at Asif pace, it just looks like 110km, and not more...

I know many of u wud be disappointed with his pace, but he's not 100% fit

Yup. Considering some of our other commies, he should be signed up to a long term contract immediately!

Then why he is playing, if you are on the field you have to give 100% not lame excuses
 
Mahmudullah is 0 from 12 balls

you'd think Shoaib Akhtar is bowling!!

very funny lara 400. i actually responded to your original post. Shoaib is a 90 mph PLUS bowler EASILY !

;-)
 
Just flashed a stat showing that pak conceded approx twice as many extras as BD and Zim in the past two series.

Lawson clearly has not been effective as bowling coach.

Who cares how fast he bowls? He is not an express quick so why does it matter?

Time to bring on Sohail Khan maybe?
Not just yet; Malik wants to make sure he bowls Asif into the ground before he brings anyone else on.
 
fawad and asif cud work in tandem or sohail and fawad! good to see the two future pairings work together now.. see how they do against a depleted bd lineup
 
nice bouncer there from Gul.
 
wow, Fawad Alam ran from point to deep midwicket to field the ball, talk about commitment !

Sohail Khan is warming up, we can see him soon.

inshallah wicketssss this time !

Thats more of a curse, how nasty
 
Mohammad Akram is actually half decent, talk about a breath of semi-fresh air.
 
Bowled HIM!

Sohail bowls a straight one for a change!

45-5
 
Good ball by Sohail. Beat Mahmudullah for pace. Looks like he's trying to pitch the ball fuller and he's got his reward. Deserved that.

hahahahahahaha

:))) :))) :))) :)))

Had to laugh the lads picked up a wicket in his first over thanks to his critics :P
 
Nice shot by Reza, easing it through the covers. Good to see Sohail looking to hit the wickets though..
 
is Butt that good a fielder to be at point ? Fawad Alam should be there IMO.
 
Oh no it's Sadiq Mohammad again!

Jeremy Coney looks like he's going to kill himself.
 
Good to see Malik giving Asif 7 overs on the trot. It's not like he's returning from a long injury or anything so this is really smart captaincy.
 
Sadiq Mohammad + Shoaib Akhtar = boys night out ! ;-)
 
pakistani pride said:
Sohail khan needs to bowl a fuller length is he still nervous ?
He's actually mixing it up pretty well; some short ones followed by some full ones (some too full). And no, he doesn't look nervous...looks like he's enjoying himself.
 
Has Asif picked up an injury..he's left the field one over after changing ends.
 
yeah LARA 400 just dont want Asif to have an other injury.
I have the feeling he came back quick to play in the IPL ! ! !
 
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.

If you had been here for the last week you'd know a little about the speed guns Einstein.

agreed...

i think there is something wrong with the speed guns but in truth even razaq in 2008 looks quicker to the naked eye.
 
Bangla 82/6

Im hoping fawad and Bazid get promoted up order so they can have a bat but i doubt it later on when pakistan bat.

Einstein reasons that the 110-130 kph range is an overrated one.

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.

fumbles do not really matter as long as he catches the edges cause he is on his way back up with both the bat and gloves so inshallah soon he will be back to full form.

akmal shopuld be our opener cause with him opening our batting order will have the right balance.

Who would have thought Mohd Akram would actually get my vote for 'best commentator' in any series!!!

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.

110kph is 68mph, even ganguly and ian bell bowl quicker than that.

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?
wasnt a catch.

just fumbled a ball that the player missed. no big deal.
