Pakistan v Bangladesh | T20 Warm up | [02/9/07]

[Saqlain_doosra]

Imran NAzir on fire. Great to see him do the damage again.

 

[Saj]

I'm trying to get through to my brother in law whose at the match today. Seems like he cant hear his mobile in all the noise at the ground.

 

[faizpak]

what is the highest score in 20/20 ??

 

[Bangla Tiger]

horrible bowling from masri

 

[Usman Chadda]

If he plays like this when the real thing starts, we are in with an awesome chance!

 

[Boi]

a boundry from salman butt

 

[Saj]

update from Kenya by phone - 66 for 0

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman strikes another boundary in this over. Pakistan run-rate sky-high right now at 11.16!

 

[Shahid A]

nice four by salman

 

[Shahid A]

67/0 6.0 Overs

 

[faizpak]

Pakistan 67/0 (6.0/20 ov)

 

[Easa]

We are going along very well, great batting from the pair..

 

[Boi]

after 6 overs pakistan are cruising 67 for 0

 

[Sheikh]

Butt getting into the act with a 2 and a 4. Moves on to 21 off 12.

Excellent start: 67-0 after 6.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Single to Salman off the first ball of the 7th over

Ashraful bowling out Mortaza here. His 3 overs have cost Bangladesh 48 runs

 

[faizpak]

we'll have fun when spinners will come

 

[Shahid A]

Salman Out!

afridi comes in and gets bowled!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Better over by Mortaza, four runs so far from it

 

[Shahid A]

What?!

oh

nothing

 

[Shahid A]

that is what i always do to make him do good

 

[Usman Chadda]

Mashrafe finishes his quota of 4 overs. Cost him about 53 runs

Pakistan 73/0 in 7.1 overs

 

[Sheikh]

I's still have Akmal coming in next with Afridi at 4.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman has fared well in the two matches he has played so far. Strike-rates above 100 in both the games

 

[faizpak]

Imran Nazir run out 49 (29b 4x4 3x6) SR: 168.96

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pakistan 76/0 (7.3/20 ov)
Bangladesh
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first

Pakistan RR 10.13


Just 10.13 per over that takes us to 202,we are not motoring along nicely.come on guys pick up the bloody pace

 

[Shahid A]

Imran Nazir Run Out!

 

[Boi]

is it imraN NAZIR RUN OUT OR SALMAN BUTT

 

[P4K1 #1]

76/1 for nazir run out

 

[Usman Chadda]

is it imraN NAZIR RUN OUT OR SALMAN BUTT

Nazir run out for 49 off 29 balls. It was fun while it lasted

 

[Saqlain_doosra]

Imran Nazir run out. Damn he was going so well, stupid running, why run for singles when you hit boundries

 

[Boi]

IMRAN NAZIR RUN OUT WHAT A SHAME he only needed 1 run to get his fifty

 

[Sheikh]

Imran run-out 1 shot of a half-century. Unfortunate but a good innings nonetheless.

Akmal comes in. Afridi should be next with Malik after him.

 

[Shahid A]

is it imraN NAZIR RUN OUT OR SALMAN BUTT

nazir

 

[faizpak]

Younis Khan in

 

[Boi]

8 overs gone pak 78 for 1

 

[Usman Chadda]

Younis the new batsman in. Nazir did his job at the top. Those are just the kind of knocks that will get the momentum going

 

[Afridi_Fan]

YK is the next man in,no akmal or boom boom

 

[Sheikh]

Actually looks like it's Younis in. I don't understand that decision.

 

[Boi]

9 overs gone 80 for 1

 

[Usman Chadda]

Run-rate falling rapidly. Two overs ago it was something around 11, now its close to 9

 

[Easa]

Younis in, I thought it should have been Malik, because he hasn't had a knock yet..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

8.6 Abdur Razzak to Younis Khan, 2 runs, swept to fine leg
8.5 Abdur Razzak to Younis Khan, no run, hit on the pads and a loud lbw appeal not out given, ball was going down leg
8.4 Abdur Razzak to Younis Khan, no run
8.3 Abdur Razzak to Younis Khan, no run
8.2 Abdur Razzak to Salman Butt, 1 run, driven to to covers
8.1 Abdur Razzak to Younis Khan, 1 run


Seems like a test or an ODI not 20/20

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ashraful is bowling now. Cannot understand this move. Why bowl a part-timer when the opposition's RR is close to 9?!

 

[Sheikh]

200 should be on with big hitters to come.

 

[Boi]

six by younis khan what a shot

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ashraful gets slogged over deep mid-wicket for six. Terrible move to bring himself on

 

[deviously~fading~away]

youni smacks a 6!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

12 off ashraful's over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Yk with a slog six.Thats more like it

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman has to stop wasting deliveries!

 

[deviously~fading~away]

bringing in Youni might not be a bad move...its not like afridi needs 10 overs to do his stuff, even 1 over is enough for afridi!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Salman Butt is batting quite slow, no?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

100 in 11 overs,thats just too slow

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Salman has to stop wasting deliveries!

looks like Salman is suppose to play the anchor role while others slog around him

 

[Bangla Tiger]

dont know why ash brought himself on...was to excited after running nazir out i guess

 

[Boi]

100 for 1 after 11 overs

 

[Saj]

only 3 boundaries from 25 balls from Salman. For twenty/20 cricket thats not too clever.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman Butt is batting quite slow, no?

His approach is wrong. I understand he wants to play the sheet anchor role but he has to understand that boundaries have to come from his end aswell

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Pak need to get some hits in now

 

[Shahid A]

kamran akmal new man in?!!!???!!

 

[Boi]

well salman butt is out shoaib malik is the next batsmen

 

[Afridi_Fan]

11.2 Mohammad Ashraful to Salman Butt, OUT, flighted ball went for the big hit and is cleaned bowled (middle stump)

Ok Kid fun over

 

[Sheikh]

Why? His just hit a six

He's already had a bat. Malik or Misbah should have got a look-in. Either way it's a good start; 100 up after 11.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman out for a unconvincing 33, bowled by Ashraful

Pakistan 105/2

Malik the new man in

 

[Shahid A]

shoaib malik new batsman in

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Its Kamran Akmal not Malik

 

[Crucifier]

Yes salman is out! send the beast!! Bah, what a waste of overs.

 

[Shahid A]

Six from younis khan

 

[deviously~fading~away]

Butt gone. Malik in. 111 after 12 overs

 

[Boi]

six by younis khan

 

[deviously~fading~away]

youni with his 2nd six!

 

[Saj]

I dont think the sheet anchor role is a role that is available in 20/20 cricket.

 

[Boi]

111 for 2 after 12 overs

 

[Bangla Tiger]

dont know why ash brought himself on...was to excited after running nazir out i guess

ahhh...

 

[Sheikh]

Good little knock by Salman. Exactly what he needs to do in support of Imran. Malik in next. Good move. He should get to free his arms a bit.

 

[Crucifier]

I dont think the sheet anchor role is a role that is available in 20/20 cricket.

Indeed bhai. Perhaps shoaib wants some match practice under his belt. I still want to see another 13 ball beastly knock though.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Younis on 26 from 14 balls now, with 2 sixes

 

[UJ]

I just wonder if we're counting as YK to be our regular no 3. Hes probably more suited at 4 with Malik or even Akmal at 3.

 

[Saj]

Just had an update from Nairobi from by brother in law.

Imran Nazir's run out was a stupid one by all accounts - totally unecessary.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Four singles off this 13th over so far

Malik and Younis intent on getting singles it seems
