Pakistan v England: 5th ODI at Edgbaston (Pak Innings)

[Usman Chadda]

England should just send Pietersen to open. Atleast we would get to see some entertainment!

 

[TaZ]

This whole tour has been nothing short of a disaster. The wheels have well and truly come off

 

[MIG]

Bad day at office - nothing to worry about CT is another tournament - this series will be long forgotten then.

[iZeeshan]

18 delviereis left...so 165 at most

 

[infamous9383]

3 overs to go

 

[Usman Chadda]

You know what once Pakistan starts bowling, swing, seam and this uneven bounce will all disappear suddenly

We have had as much luck on this tour

 

[umarbeast]

Man, Asif is THEEE worst batsman I have seen

You haven't seen our openers then )

 

[infamous9383]

That would be great considering the circumstances

[Usman Chadda]

Only Pakistan is capable of making a 9th ranked ODI side look like a world beating side!

 

[infamous9383]

Pakistan have found all the fielders today

 

[infamous9383]

Rao needs to change his bat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Why wasnt Shahid Yousuf played instead of Farhat or Afridi?!

Play and a miss from Rao

 

[TaZ]

This is seriously a boring game (unless you're an england fan)

 

[infamous9383]

swing and a miss

 

[iZeeshan]

Just more singles...

 

[Usman Chadda]

OMG! We are getting to 150

 

[infamous9383]

single feel sorry for Pakistani supporters who are at the ground. They been behind the team the whole way making noises and chanting Pakistan Zindabad

 

[infamous9383]

single for asif to end the over

 

[MIG]

To our credit - we have played all 50 overs ( almost )

 

[infamous9383]

Broad to bowl the last over

 

[iZeeshan]

Stuart Broad to bowl the last over

 

[infamous9383]

To our credit - we have played all 50 overs ( almost )

Rao is fighting

 

[Usman Chadda]

single feel sorry for Pakistani supporters who are at the ground. They been behind the team the whole way making noises and chanting Pakistan Zindabad

A lot of guys from PP were going to the game. Not sure how many are still there through

 

[Mercenary]

Why wasnt Shahid Yousuf played instead of Farhat or Afridi?!

Play and a miss from Rao

Because Farhat is an opener and Afridi has been our best bowler over the last 20 games!

 

[infamous9383]

dot ball first ball

 

[Hari Sombar]

44444444444444

 

[infamous9383]

single for Asif

 

[infamous9383]

no run there

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good improvisation by Rao. Flicked away for four

OMG! We have crossed 150

 

[iZeeshan]

4 runs to the leg...

 

[Mercenary]

time for us to see how great this bowling line-up really is. Rana is due a few wickets and he's finally going to be re-united with his best friend the new ball

 

[infamous9383]

four for Rao

 

[Hari Sombar]

Pak end on 154 - 9

 

[Usman Chadda]

time for us to see how great this bowling line-up really is. Rana is due a few wickets and he's finally going to be re-united with his best friend the new ball

The only probem is that Shoaib aint there

And even if our bowling is good, our fielders will let them down to the point that Jonty Rhodes will be forced to tear his hair out!

 

[infamous9383]

hoping against hope but i'll hope

 

[iZeeshan]

Asif to play the last ball

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

154/9

 

[infamous9383]

single

 

[Mercenary]

I'm not watching. Does Rao look like a rabbit or like someone who can handle himself a bit?

 

[infamous9383]

last ball

 

[infamous9383]

I'm not watching. Does Rao look like a rabbit or like someone who can handle himself a bit?

he can handle the bat a little

 

[infamous9383]

end of the innings

154/9

 

[iZeeshan]

Can Pakistan defend this? My oh my who the hell am I kidding

But wouldn't it be awsome?

 

[infamous9383]

Tailenders did well to play out the whole overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

I'm not watching. Does Rao look like a rabbit or like someone who can handle himself a bit?

He looks like someone who can hang around

 

[Hari Sombar]

England need 3.10 runs an over

 

[MIG]

155 is the target.

Time for heroes to step forward - field and bowl like wounded tigers or like timid rabbits ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Holding "Shouldnt be too difficult for England"

Who disagrees?

 

[umarbeast]

At least we batted the 50 overs. Lets see what our bowlers can do on this bowler's paradise.

 

[Hari Sombar]

Tailenders did well to play out the whole overs

U watchin live?

 

[MIG]

Tailenders did well to play out the whole overs

Could be bad news for us - If tailenders can do it , then so can English batsmen.

 

[iZeeshan]

At least we batted the 50 overs. Lets see what our bowlers can do on this bowler's paradise.

Thats the problem. Its not a bowlers paradise.

 

[samisback]

Could be bad news for us - If tailenders can do it , then so can English batsmen.

Valid point.

 

[iZeeshan]

Lets say that we want to win. What kind of start do we need?

I am saying a wicket in the first 4 overs, with 2 at 10 and then 4 at 20 overs with runs at a minimum

 

[Usman Chadda]

Its very interesting how Mr.Hari Somber is showing his face only when Pakistan has delivered a poor performance. Where were you in the first part of the series pal?

 

[umarbeast]

Thats the problem. Its not a bowlers paradise.

If it's not then curse our batsmen

 

[Pathan007]

Rao averages 60 in ODI wid bat. WOW!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Luck has not been our friend on this tour

 

[Pathan007]

Luck has not been our friend on this tour

bcz we suck and don't deserve it.

 

[MIG]

Now If I see Inzi starting with 2 slips , I will say AAALLLOOOO very loudly !

There is NO option but to go on full attack - 3 slips - go for powerplays back to back - there are no runs to save !
