Yep - with another set of annoying kids - my office mates....

 

[WIW_SRT]

is anyone else having probs with cricinfo live scoreboard , not opening.

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif is maybe on for just another over after this then Rambonita comes it.

I am scared.

 

[Rob H]

Isnt that/was a boy band ?

Best of the 90s Could it be magic from KP (excuse the HUGE pun)

 

[MIG]

I think Rao=Jon Lewis for us today - Asif isnt doing that well.

 

[MIG]

Thats why we come to PP update thread:

56/3

 

[iZeeshan]

Whipped, well fieldid

 

[iZeeshan]

As well as Asif is bowling, he shouldn't bowl anotehr over, only one if he must, because we may need him later

 

[Prince]

A beauty from rao

 

[Rob H]

Rao Naved swinging it well.

 

[iZeeshan]

I think Rao=Jon Lewis for us today - Asif isnt doing that well.

Though he has two wickets

 

[Prince]

57-3 after 12 overs

[MIG]

So who is the next change ? Do we dare bring in Naved or will it be Razzaq or can it be Afridi - imo, next bowling change may well decide the outcome of the match - thinking cap on Mr. Inzi!

 

[iZeeshan]

Dropped

 

[Prince]

Rao beats the outside edge

 

[MIG]

Dropped

Same old, same old....

 

[iZeeshan]

Its a very difficult question. I'd say Razzaq, but maybe Rana for one over

 

[yk]

Hard chance that, it was a caught and bowled chance, Rao went one handed, and it just never stuck. Maidon over tho.

 

[zaf1986]

Harsh to call it a drop, they are never easy on the follow through...

 

[iZeeshan]

Same old, same old....

Yea, but wasn't an easy chance, should have been caught though

 

[MIG]

Run Rate: 4.21 (Required: 2.67) 59/3

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

dropped

 

[iZeeshan]

Skews away for 4, no luck

 

[MIG]

Asif should have been taken off but Inzi feels that he has the wood over KP - maybe 1 last over...

 

[Prince]

Asif coming round the wicket for no reason whatsoever

 

[iZeeshan]

Well fielded...

Inzi, Your Stupidness, as much as you love Asif, he only has 10 overs, and you will need him later

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

pitersen not any more afriad of asif

 

[yk]

Turning out to be an expensive over. we need them 5 down on 80 runs.

 

[yk]

more runs, 10 of the over so far

 

[Rob H]

Why do they stop the ball with their feet? It's like they're afraid to get stuck in on the floor as they might get grass stains on their clothes.

 

[Prince]

Short and wide and Collingwood hammers it for four

 

[zaf1986]

Well fielded...

Inzi, Your Stupidness, as much as you love Asif, he only has 10 overs, and you will need him later

There is going to be no later.

We need to get them out asap, otherwise they win. Inzy is doing the right thing - bowl out Asif.

 

[yk]

Well fielded...

Inzi, Your Stupidness, as much as you love Asif, he only has 10 overs, and you will need him later

Later? there isn't going to be a later, its now or NEVER!!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Great pull for 4

Engaldn rebuilding again, and this time probably for good

 

[yk]

12 of the over now.

 

[Ace Base]

Well fielded...

Inzi, Your Stupidness, as much as you love Asif, he only has 10 overs, and you will need him later

MIG, under six year olds should NOT be allowed to post on PP!

 

[Prince]

72-3 after 15

 

[zaf1986]

We need a wicket!

 

[MIG]

Game slipping away - may be too late for a bowling change to be effective !

 

[yk]

Why do they stop the ball with their feet? It's like they're afraid to get stuck in on the floor as they might get grass stains on their clothes.

It was Rana and he can't dive to save his life. If he dived he'd probably miss it and let it run for four, like he has done many times b4.

 

[iZeeshan]

3rd power play taken

 

[yk]

KP leading edges going for 4.

 

[MIG]

MIG, under six year olds should NOT be allowed to post on PP!

We will deal with them later.

 

[iZeeshan]

ARGH!!! Another leading edge for 4!!!

Its over...

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

83 more to win off 35 overs...

 

[Prince]

There was no need to take the powerplay...

 

[Rob H]

Could it be magic ?

 

[MIG]

Ok so we draw a ODI series...and thus it came to pass...

 

[iZeeshan]

MIG, under six year olds should NOT be allowed to post on PP!

i aint under 6, jsut a little humor and opinion in there

 

[zaf1986]

Ok so we draw a ODI series...and thus it came to pass...

We snatch a draw from the jaws of victory. This is an ODI series we should have easily won.

 

[yk]

4 by kp

bring the spinners on

 

[Rob H]

1 handed back foot drive. Well this isn't how i know but it'll do.

 

[MIG]

Pepsi: Dont abuse Pak players in the way you did above and get a hold of yourself.

 

[yk]

4th 4 of the over....16 runs of the over....Game set and Match now.

 

[iZeeshan]

Beauty cover drive for 4

Official: It's Over!

 

[MIG]

We snatch a draw from the jaws of victory. This is an ODI series we should have easily won.

I am trying to console myself

 

[KB]

The match is going to be over one way or the other by 45 overs, so I don't see the point of taking the power play.

 

[iZeeshan]

And how about another 4 for KP

bl**dy hell

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Ok so we draw a ODI series...and thus it came to pass...

It would have been 3-2 if the weather allowed =(

 

[Uzzy]

16 runs off Raos over.

 

[iZeeshan]

KP jsut having his way, only way to win now is to get KP now and then Colly and Darry within then next 6 overs

 

[zMario]

Sad...

When England were 50/3, I thought we had a tiny chacne in there. Somewhere, there was a chance.

And we didn't capitalize on our chance.

We need 2-3 quick wickets to peg England back to 90/5 or 90/6, then I give ourselves a chance

but do we have a bowler to get those wickets?

 

[chuck]

game slipping away .. KP on fire. 3rd power play was a mistake .. this game is never going to go till 50 overs. Pak could have easily saved at least 1 power play.
