[Radiance Of Australis]

Yaaaaaay another good fielder:Asad Shafiq!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A game of two halves so far.

Tamim
Akhtar
Kayes ) )
Asif ) ) )

Nicely put together mate!

 

[dhump]

So how long will it take Kayes to open his account ???

 

[cricfan967]

Asif is the most over-rated pakistani bowler of all time.
I simply do not get it why some people hype him up so much.
I am 100% certain, overall in England he will be the weakest link in the bowling.

he produces a lot of swing on England pitches

 

[Deewana Mastana]

90.9 mph Akhtar

1st ball of his 4th over

He is a great test bowler who will be our key to victory in England.

 

[KingOfDestiny]

Asif is not a one day bowler.

He's hyped because he's an excellent test bowler and helped us to win big matches. He hasn't been able to replicate that in ODIs throughout his career thus far.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

88.8 mph 2nd ball

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Quite true!

sure.

 

[Friend786]

asif is a good bowler but just looking to experiment too much

Maybe in ODI's but the guy is class for tests.

 

[Friend786]

kayes in test match mode

 

[Friend786]

not off the mark yet ! kayes

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Good bouncer by Akhtar to end the over

 

[Friend786]

2 runs in 4 overs from shoaib !

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Akhtar looks like he did a doobki in a swimming pool of sweat

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akhtar so far 4-2-2-0

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Selectors made the right move for sure by not selecting Akhtar for the tests - at least based on his current fitness levels.

He looks exhausted after 3-4 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why is Afridi persisting with Asif still?

 

[cricfan967]

Imrul Kayes 0 off 20

 

[Friend786]

bangladesh not looking to chase down this total

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Selectors made the right move for sure by not selecting Akhtar for the tests - at least based on his current fitness levels.

He looks exhausted after 3-4 overs.

He's fine for T20's and important ODI's thats about it!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And Tamim gives explanation to Afridi why he backed off.

 

[Friend786]

Why is Afridi persisting with Asif still?

because he has so many runs to do with !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Take that!

Smacked it for FOUR

Tamim you beauty!

Asif

 

[Afridi_Fan]

bangladesh not looking to chase down this total

You really think they might chase it down?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a shot

Tamim

 

[Friend786]

short man couldn't get to it!

 

[Friend786]

tamim gone!

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Asif gets his revenge!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why is Afridi persisting with Asif still?

You got your answer?

Asif gets Tamim.

 

[cricfan967]

Asif strikes, it's Tamim so
Bangladesh batting line up finished

 

[Deewana Mastana]

because he has so many runs to do with !

That should'nt be the point though!

And as I write Asif gets Tamim caught behind!

 

[Friend786]

done with a slower one

 

[AZ]

Asif conquers Tamim!


See ya later!

 

[KingOfDestiny]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

34 off 27 balls for Tamim

1 shot too many young man!

 

[ZAK]

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Now lets see Junaid smacking Asif around

 

[Friend786]

now they won't even get to 200 !

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Gone. Game finished.

 

[Poison]

lol at Cricinfo fan - 'Imrul is showing too much respect'. No, Akhtar is just too good for him.

 

[jawad1]

Imrul Kayes 0 off 20

Dar geya he

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Asif needs to try and get some in the block holes while he gets cartered around

Something he needs to work on

 

[Friend786]

Now lets see Junaid smacking Asif around

don't think so

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 1/39 | 8 Overs | Shoaib Akhtar 0/2, Mohammad Asif 1/36

 

[cricfan967]

Bangladeshi tail's exposed now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Junaid not interested to face Akhtar

Kayes was gone with a direct hit

 

[Afridi_Fan]

was going for the batsman, not for the run out. The Beast is in mood today.

)

 

[Deewana Mastana]

don't think so

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Edged! Didn't carry.

 

[Friend786]

5th over in this spell from shoaib !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Didnt carry to slips

Good ball though

Akhtar not lucky

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Junaid not interested to face Akhtar

Kayes was gone with a direct hit

Really? Was he gone with a direct hit?

Mind watching the replay?

 

[sa88]

Asif goes for runs but he is a wicket taking bowler. I'll wager that he will be Pakistan's most dangerous bowler in the seaming/swinging conditions of England.

Tamim is the best bat in the Bangladesh line-up. Asif has removed him, cue the collapse.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

88.6 mph

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

5th over for Akhtar? Impressive (for him).

 

[cricfan967]

Imrul finally!
1 off 24

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Federer almost out of Wimbledon.

 

[Friend786]

off the mark at last after 24 balls

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Kayes off the mark.

 

[AZ]

Hooray! Imrul off the mark!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Finally Kayes is off the mark

24 balls later

 

[Dr. Khan]

he produces a lot of swing on England pitches

The question is when, since his comeback this time around he has looked a shadow of himself. Hopefully, for the sake of Pakistan I hope you are right.

 

[Poison]

Federer almost out of Wimbledon.

Epic failure for him atm, don't know whats wrong

 

[Poison]

Yeah I guess you missed the entire Australia/NZ series

 

[Deewana Mastana]

87.3 mph

 

[jawad1]

1 of 24 balls

 

[Friend786]

good bouncer

 

[Deewana Mastana]

88.7 mph Akhtar

Good bouncer again

 

[Dr. Khan]

He's hyped because he's an excellent test bowler and helped us to win big matches. He hasn't been able to replicate that in ODIs throughout his career thus far.

I do not think we are seeing the same Asif, not since his layoff.
Ok in some of the test he has performed but he is not close to what he used to be.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

The question is when, since his comeback this time around he has looked a shadow of himself. Hopefully, for the sake of Pakistan I hope you are right.

He bowled well against NZ (setting up the win with a 5-for) in NZ, plus took a 5-for against Aus in Aus if I remember correctly.

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 1/41 | 9 Overs | Shoaib Akhtar 0/3, Mohammad Asif 1/36

 

[cricfan967]

shoaibs sweating like a pig at the moment

 

[Friend786]

5 overs 4 runs from shoaib

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akhtar drenched in sweat

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

What a spectacular wagon wheel that Imrul has

 

[Friend786]

was that out?
