Pakistan v Bangladesh | 5th ODI | Karachi | 19/4/08

[PlanetPakistan]

58-4

Not much of a contest

 

[Sheikh]

This is ridiculous.

 

[Monsee]

***, Malik wants to take over from poor Wahab now, after doing the same to Fawad, Naumanullah and many others?

I have lost all respect for Malik today...first he makes Gul and Asif bowl 6 overs each for what and now this; I wanna curse in Punjabi with something like M*********** but I will keep it in because I don't want to waste it on a leech like Malik!

 

[MIG]

and the moment DM would be waiting for maybe...

 

[Easa]

WHAT A CATCH!

Misbah takes a stunner!!

 

[Sparhawk]

hahaha someone tell OXY "etc etc" is not beastly language.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Misbah takes a cracking catch.

 

[Easa]

62/5

30 off 26 balls for Ashraful.

 

[Sheikh]

Great catch there. He's 33?

 

[Monsee]

Wow, now Afridi in when the coimmentator (Waqar) is even mentioning the absence of Wahab from the attack?

Other commentator says the same...This is retarded stuff of the nth degree

Malik tumm per lanat hai!

 

[MIG]

and Misbah takes the best of all...

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

Off Dreambox and just got a bigger Sat dish installed -...

Didnt knew that a bigger dish could help also

im also having this setup (dreambox + satdish @ pc) in a few weeks

 

[MIG]

According to the guy who took my money, a bigger dish does make a diff

 

[Sheikh]

Perfect time to bring on Riaz.

There's no reason for Malik to be bowling right now.

 

[Easa]

Perfect time to bring on Riaz.

There's no reason for Malik to be bowling right now.

You're completely correct.

ps - good to see decently aggressive field employed by Malik here

 

[Easa]

Wahab Riaz in.

62/5

 

[Sheikh]

Thank god. What was the point of the 1 over?

 

[Sparhawk]

Finally, a youngster is allowed a peek.

 

[MIG]

And it gets worse for Bangla

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

Wow, now Afridi in when the coimmentator (Waqar) is even mentioning the absence of Wahab from the attack?

Malik tumm per lanat hai!

Is Waqar commentating?

 

[Easa]

That was a graceful straight drive... well played!

 

[Sheikh]

Good last ball by Wahab. Bit of movement away from the right-hander at a fair clip.

 

[Monsee]

Is Waqar commentating?

I think it is Mohsin Khan...I was not sure earlier

 

[MIG]

Some joy for Pak fans - long may it continue...

 

[Monsee]

According to the guy who took my money, a bigger dish does make a diff

How does this work...is it possible in USA too?

 

[MIG]

How does this work...is it possible in USA too?

Check with Salman or PlanetP - they have a better idea of whats available in the states

 

[Zeenix]

Bowled him..

 

[Easa]

Riaz picks up a wicket! Reza played on, theres a stump-rattle.

71/6

 

[Sheikh]

Good ball by Wahab. Banged it in, got onto the batsman quicker than he expected and inside edged onto the stumps. Shame that this kid is only gonna get one game.

 

[Easa]

The speed gun isn't recognizing this but Riaz is bowling fairly quick. He looks as quick as Gul at least, but that isn't being recognized by the dismal speed guns.

71/6 - ghost in.

 

[Easa]

142.2 KPH

Hits the batsman with that bouncer, and it goes for 4 leg byes. Nasty delivery.

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

How does this work...is it possible in USA too?

Never heard of a satellite dish?

 

[MIG]

And the new hero for Pak?


Wahab Riaz

 

[Easa]

Ghosht is in all sorts of trouble with the next bouncer, hostile, hostile bowling by Riaz

GREAT signs!!

 

[Sheikh]

My my Wahab looks impressive.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Hitting gloves, elbows, stumps....thats what you call a PAKISTANI pace bowler

 

[MIG]

I expect Wahab to polish off the tail - Afridi should hold back

 

[Sparhawk]

Beastly leg break!

 

[MIG]

he is bowling round the 140kph mark - would be good if he can show us a 145er tonight

 

[MIG]

As if we needed confirmation...

 

[Monsee]

Check with Salman or PlanetP - they have a better idea of whats available in the states

Who is that?

 

[MIG]

Astonishing - only 2 no balls bowled by Pak today !

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

wahab looks sharp and with a short runup is generating some pace...

 

[MIG]

Who is that?

Salman - one of the Mods as is PlanetPakistan

 

[Sheikh]

Wahab would be quite a handful against lefties. For now, he's troubling the right-handers.

 

[Zeenix]

NO contest really. Had it not been the festive atmosphere at PP, it would have been quite a placid game, specially the Bangladeshi Innings

 

[Zeenix]

Free HIt..

 

[Sheikh]

Lovely slower ball by Wahab

 

[Zeenix]

Bowled him on a free hit

 

[Zeenix]

Wow what a delivery. That one came back a long way.. Inside edge to four

 

[MIG]

Wahab gets another one

 

[Sheikh]

Around the wicket and cut the batsman in half. Both batsman and akmal had no idea.

 

[Easa]

He's got brains too, that slower ball was a good idea and good execution.

 

[Zeenix]

Wahab has looked very sharp. The bangladeshi batsmen have no clue how to play him

 

[Easa]

What a ball from Afridi. Drift, spin, and bounce.

 

[Zeenix]

MIG certainly adding to the charm of Commentary thread.. by posting those screen shots.

 

[MIG]

sorry that last pic was off a free hit - apologies.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Just got back from an exam and see that Pakistan has been doing quite well.

Wahab looks very impressive indeed, just saw that ball that came back and a lucky inside edge that went for 4. The Bangladeshi batsmen seem to have no idea how to play him.

Also, how did Asif bowl today? Is he looking like his old self again?

 

[MIG]

Wahab doing a good job - certainly expect to see him more from now on.

 

[Zeenix]

This Pitch certainly has something for the bowlers. Well for the Pakistani bowlers anyways

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Afridi has definitely matured well in terms of his bowling. Bowling with good flight, getting drift, and even a decent amount of turn. Now if only he could work like that on his batting...

 

[MIG]

and Oxy and Saj at work....

 

[Zeenix]

I feel sorry for Naumanullah..

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Wahab is taking a leaf out of wasim's book definitely in terms of the way he is releasing the ball and the effective and short run up. Looks like Riaz is definitely one for the future and I think he is also bowling a lot quicker than the speed gun is showing, or at least it looks like it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

*Mahmudullah & Dhiman Ghosh have been pretty impressive all series along with saqibul otherwise Bangla have had nothing to rave about.

The keeper GHosh looks like a good little fighter!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hmm, well I have been quite impressed by Mortaza this series as well. He has looked much more than the one dimensional bowler he used to be and is the only one who has looked like he has troubled Pakistani batsmen

 

[Sheikh]

Rizwan Ahmed is another one who should have got some games. He had quite an impressive debut and could have easily replaced one of Afridi or Malik at some point in the series.

 

[MIG]

Malik back ? did Wahab run out of overs or steam?

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I love how we finally have some commentators who I don't wanna pull my ear off after listening to

 

[Sheikh]

Customary miss by Akmal. About 5-6 in the series now.

 

[MIG]

and just to show that we arent all about cricket - heres something to think about

 

[Sheikh]

Malik back ? did Wahab run out of overs or steam?

I think Malik was worried that Wahab was looking dangerous. He was bowling far too aggressively for the skippers liking.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Akmal misses that stumping chance though the ball did almost roll on through after hitting ghosh's bat and pad.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 byes given but it looks like it went off the pads. Unlucky for Akmal

 

[W63L35]

Akmal misses that stumping chance though the ball did almost roll on through after hitting ghosh's bat and pad.

Tell us some thing new.... !

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

beautiful ball there by shahid that drifted in and spun out sharply to beat the batsman

 

[MIG]

NSK pavilion in full glory, with some abysmal news for Bangla

 

[MIG]

Afridi gets Ghosh

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Ghosh bowled by Afridi. I love how the Bangladeshi coach looks like he is hiding his face as much as possible

 

[AliAbdulKhan]

The look of afridi when he bowled him

can u give us a screen of that, MIG?
