[AZ]

Well left.

 

[ZAK]

so Kamran drops another one. Did he drop atleast 1 catch in all 3 games? A hattrick?

He's dropped 2 in this one.

 

[SAM'S]

i'm very hopeful tigers will be bowled out without playing 50 overs.

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 4/222 | 45 Overs | Need 164 runs to win from 30 balls

 

[Poison]

lol Akhtar coming off a 5 step runup

 

[AZ]

Afridi manning the boundaries, good strategy.

 

[TalhaSyed]

this game going down to the last over

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Akhtar must have been delusional thinking he was fit enough to play in the tests against Aus/Eng.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

afridi making akhtar do a serious bowling workout.....

 

[NiCe]

Akmal dropped just one today loooooooools hahaha... atleast he is consistent na

 

[Abdullah22]

this game going down to the last over

Get the pop corn ready, we definitely need a wicket or get read for another pwnage.

 

[Poison]

Akhtar must have been delusional thinking he was fit enough to play in the tests against Aus/Eng.

I don't think he ever did; the strategy as stated by Afridi and Waqar since his inclusion in the side was for T20s and ODI's only.

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

shzaib must have lost 10 pounds chasing that ball down.

 

[Poison]

Shahzaib throws the ball like a literal retard. Sohail Tanvir-bowling action-esque.

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 4/230 | 46 Overs | Need 156 runs to win from 24 balls

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

I don't think he ever did; the strategy as stated by Afridi and Waqar since his inclusion in the side was for T20s and ODI's only.

I'm pretty sure his stated aim before he was selected for the Asia Cup was to play in the tests in England.

 

[AZ]

Well left.

by Kamran Akmal.

 

[Poison]

I'm pretty sure his stated aim before he was selected for the Asia Cup was to play in the tests in England.

Could be wrong Game has bored brains out of me.

 

[SAM'S]

I don't think he ever did; the strategy as stated by Afridi and Waqar since his inclusion in the side was for T20s and ODI's only.

Akhtar wasn't supposed to play today's match according to the strategy, what happened there?

 

[Indieview]

What happened to Pakistani Phast Bowlers ... unable to bowl out Bangladeshis

 

[Poison]

Akhtar wasn't supposed to play today's match according to the strategy, what happened there?

Afridi happened.

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 4/236 | 47 Overs | Need 150 runs to win from 18 balls

 

[amar1212]

[PB]

They were at sea..

 

[SAM'S]

Afridi happened.

no seriously was there any reason?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

where was this Pakistan batting in the last few matches?

In the dressing room!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

no seriously was there any reason?

He insisted! :younis

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Cricinfo is seriously getting frustrated.

And I wonder how the Pakistani team is bardaash kar-ing this
I wont be surprised if Afridi says"jo bhi sab se zyaada out karay ga usko mera aaj ka man of the match award(phone) milay ga"

 

[Poison]

'16 fours and two sixes in the BD innings. Afridi alone hit 17 fours and four sixes '

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 4/244 | 48 Overs | Need 142 runs to win from 12 balls

 

[Poison]

no seriously was there any reason?

Guess it was for fitness.

 

[pakbl10]

Wicket to Farhat!

 

[Poison]

Afridi for man of the series?

 

[Poison]

Farhat is a decent leggie

 

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 5/245 | 49 Overs | Need 141 runs to win from 6 balls

 

[pakbl10]

[Batman]

Bangladesh | 5/246 | 50 Overs | Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 139 runs

 

[Poison]

We have FINALLY WON A GAME !

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Everyone shaking hands...Bangladesh and Pakistan...must be saying "Mubarak ho!shukar hai yeh azaab khatam hogaya"

 

[kingusama92]

Solid win.

Saw some nice batting from the lads. Could have bowled a tad better but Bangladesh was in test match mode.

 

[SAM'S]

cricinfo's heading after the match:

<b>Bangladesh hold nerves to enforce first ever Draw in ODI history</b>

 

[ZAK]

Cricinfo - Mohammad Asif to Mahmudullah, no run, that's it, the Test has been saved! Well done Bangladesh. Fittingly they finish it off with a defensive shot

 

[IMMY69]

Statement of the Match must surely go this bloke who said following on Cricinfo,

Srinivasan: "I believe BAN captain said that they are confortable in chasing 250-260 confortably, he done it atleast!!"

urmm someone tell this bloke that Bangla didnt even get to 250 and in fact ended on 245, and with part timers like Farhat bowling!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Who should be the Man of The Match?

 

[IMMY69]

We have FINALLY WON A GAME !

Yep thats £30 down the drain for me - damn it, hadnt counted on Pakistan playing Bangladesh in the Asia cup!!!!

 

[amar1212]

it feels good to win after 9 straight losses, now hopefully, this is start of something new, because Pak will be playing AUS and Eng in a few weeks..
Akhtar was surprisingly very good in this tournament, i hope he continues to do well, we def. need him in t20s.

 

[SAM'S]

Who should be the Man of The Match?

all BD team is MoM, they were generous enough not to win against us.
Afridi should be banned from cricket, he made this match least interesting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

US Dollars 10,000

Shahid Khan Afridi

Man of The Match

Us Dollars 5,000

 

[amar1212]

yes, we get it raja shahab, it is a pity that we were on the losing side...NOW SHUT UP lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

yes, we get it raja shahab, it is a pity that we were on the losing side...NOW SHUT UP lol

LOL!

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Junaid Siddique has been given the award for the most stylish player of the day. Somehow I can't see the humour there. He also wins a 1000 dollars for being the Jodi of the Match

What the hell ))
