[usmiunique]

[DOOSRA95]

Lets go after broad now

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should target 150 here.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

braod loosing hair

 

[Justcrazy]

Need to make sure do not get dot balls.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good running

 

[Amjid Javed]

seriously what the hell is Hafeez doing now?

 

[Justcrazy]

saying the pitch very good.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

dot ball

47-1 after 5.4 overs

 

[ninjafirstslip]

accurate bowling.

 

[talha3]

These two have slowed down a touch.

 

[Amjid Javed]

3 runs off 1.3 overs from broad, why we making this guy look good for, smash him out of the ground!

 

[Justcrazy]

Ijaz Ahmed looking agitated.

 

[NeVerMind]

Calm down...Awais was getting most of his runs becuase he was just about clearing the circle. With PP gone you can't do that...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

and another dot ball, this is rubbish man

 

[ninjafirstslip]

slot it in and blast shafiq

 

[Justcrazy]

Ijaz would have been handful in this format.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Asad stuck.

 

[Markhor]

Waqar (when he was coach) - We used to aim for 35-40 runs in the Powerplay.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

thats better, 2 runs

49-1 after 6 overs

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Waqar showing his defensive mindset...used to target 35 runs in the first 6 overs in t-20s !

 

[Markhor]

PAK 49-1 | 6 overs

 

[DOOSRA95]

come on walk down the track and lift him over Asad....LOL

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Good score in Power Play

6 overs
49/1

 

[Justcrazy]

Asad wasting balls.

 

[talha3]

49 after 6. Not bad but nothing special after Zia's contribution. Still, RR is good and we have wickets in hand.

 

[Amjid Javed]

14 Dot balls in 1st 6 overs.

Thats over a 3rd of the deliveries! seriously pakistan need to improve their batting in PPs.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Swann into the attack, can he make amends for the drop?

 

[saj001]

Swann should be smashed.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Swann on

 

[Markhor]

Please shut up whoever is on the PA system.

 

[hashmist]

Batakh in to bowl now.

 

[Asif321]

49 in 6.. need to fire a bit

 

[Markhor]

Swann into the attack.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

plz smash swann

 

[Amjid Javed]

13 runs in last 3 overs, for a T20 thats pathetic!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to move on from here...... should not be wasted.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Nice shot, 2 runs for it

 

[Markhor]

Stupid appeal from Kieswetter.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

hafeez your usless

 

[IAJ]

very importan we don't lose the momentum here. Keep rotating the strike

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to find boundaries here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Nicely done by the Prof for a couple...

 

[DOOSRA95]

dance down the track and lift him over Hafeez

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

52-1 after 6.3 overs

 

[VTEC]

Kaptaan hain jaan maar rahay hai Stuart Broad )

Reverse sweep from Shafiq.

Fumbling in the field !

 

[Looney]

[ninjafirstslip]

[Asif321]

[Geordie Ahmed]

Decent over so far

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

A single to end the over

57-1

 

[iZeeshan]

I'm starting to like Shafiq more and more by the day

 

[hashmist]

I hope they beat up the motee bhains Patel today.

 

[talha3]

Good over. 8 runs without taking much risk.

 

[DOOSRA95]

Love the revers sweep Asad

 

[Amjid Javed]

We should be aiming for a total of 170 here atleast!

140-50 is just about par on this track.

 

[Markhor]

A better over from Pakistan, rotating the strike, finding the gaps.

Single to end the over.

PAK 57-1 | 6 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Important phase of the game here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Good over for Pakistan...

 

[Looney]

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 57/1 after 7 overs...

 

[shahidafridi123]

lol Bopara!

 

[Justcrazy]

The key is keep getting singles and twoes.

 

[iZeeshan]

Bopara's a hack. Kill him.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Bopara into the attack, would be criminal if we don't punish him

 

[ninjafirstslip]

We should be aiming for a total of 170 here atleast!

140-50 is just about par on this track.

waqar planning for 130

 

[Dr_Bassim]

57/1
