opps shah

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

a dot ball from ajmal - bout time

 

[hashman]

ajmal getting smashed again

 

[Saj]

Looks like Pak are going to be chasing a huge total here.

Some rather ordinary stuff from the bowlers and fielders.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

this bowler looks lackin confidence

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

4 to owias shah

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

100 for eng

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

100 up for England - off 10.5 overs

 

[pakistani]

100 of 10.5

 

[iZeeshan]

And now Ajmal losing it. 100 almost up.

 

[Lethal]

100 up for England in 10.5 overs.

 

[karachiite]

pietersen looking in the mood here

yes 2000 may be

 

[invincible]

hes good for this format , but not classy ...most of his shots are cross batted slogs

He's very wristy in his strokeplay. He handled our spinners very well if I remember correctly too. Struggling against the pak spinners though

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

100-2 off 11 overs

 

[qaiser]

I am still clueless of the decision to field.
Yunus is a dumb captain

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

10 off that over....i hope pak can bat well

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

10 from the over

 

[chill79]

The next 4 overs are highly crucial. if we manage to get couple wickets we are in this games then otherwise its buh bye

 

[iafzal]

Akram said Ajmal has a very good Doosra but isn't he banned from bowling it now?

 

[Lethal]

100-2 after 11 overs.

 

[Inswinger]

Need a super over from Afridi here.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good ball afridi

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good start from Afridi - dot ball

 

[Sparhawk]

Looks like Pak are going to be chasing a huge total here.

Some rather ordinary stuff from the bowlers and fielders.

Pitch looks good for batting i think we can chase down anything in the 160-170 region. But the bowlers have to bowl tight for that to happen.

 

[pakistani]

4444

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

damn - Shah sweeps him for 4

 

[iZeeshan]

100-2. Anything under 180 we can chase.

 

[Lethal]

Afridi continues to bowl well.

Shah hits a good hard sweep shot for 4.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ooohhhhh good try 4444444444444444444444 for shah

 

[Zahid87]

Another great sweep from KP. We need to shore up that boundary. That seems like Englands only shot against the spinners

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

What was the thinking for Pak fielding 1st?

 

[Zahid87]

What was the thinking for Pak fielding 1st?

Most teams have won chasing.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

666666666666666666666666 by kppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

thats a big 6666666666666666

 

[pakistani]

666666

 

[Inswinger]

Runs coming easily now.

 

[Lethal]

Swept top edge for 6.

Expensive over so far

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

6 by pietersen

 

[hashman]

s**t yaar. the swiper is getting to many runs

 

[invincible]

What was the thinking for Pak fielding 1st?

They chased well, didn't they? In the last T20 world cup ..

Also, batting first - they didn't do too well in the warm ups ...

 

[Sparhawk]

66666666666 to KP that looked like a top edge. It was only 61 meters hows that a six??

 

[jusarrived]

He's very wristy in his strokeplay. He handled our spinners very well if I remember correctly too. Struggling against the pak spinners though

all subcontinenet players are wristy , harbajan & Agarkar are more wristy than him ....no big deal imo ..he plays too much crossbatted to survive test cricket !

Pak need a wicket badly , to come back here

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

eng marching on

 

[Inswinger]

Wow only 61 meters?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Most teams have won chasing.

we are not most teams tho - also can you see Butt and Shehzad giving us a flying start? more chance of Ameobi scoring a hat-trick in the world cup next year

 

[iZeeshan]

Uh oh CHAKKA.

 

[down4whatever]

getting hammered. Looking at a chase of around 200.

 

[pakistani]

13 of the over

 

[hashman]

6 from pietersingh

 

[Lethal]

113-2 after 12 overs.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

good over for england

 

[pakistani]

wheres Asif when u need him

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Eng 113-2 off 12 overs

 

[Zahid87]

we are not most teams tho - also can you see Butt and Shehzad giving us a flying start? more chance of Ameobi scoring a hat-trick in the world cup next year

lol I know. But this is YK captaining here. Shehzad looked good against Indian mind....but Butt is not a T20 player.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

200 plus looks definite

 

[invincible]

The pitch looks good to bat on! No target will be safe ...

 

[jusarrived]

All depends on Kamran Akmal imo , has to give pak a good start

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Aamir back on

 

[iZeeshan]

220 is definitely on the cards here.

 

[Lethal]

Aamer back on.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

aamir is back

 

[invincible]

Gul should be brought back into attack ...

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

lol I know. But this is YK captaining here. Shehzad looked good against Indian mind....but Butt is not a T20 player.

he is turning out to be worse than Malik

 

[Zahid87]

Nice shot for only 2.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

2 runs

 

[hashman]

bring back yasir arafat

 

[Lethal]

This could be hard for Aamer.

 

[Inswinger]

All depends on Kamran Akmal imo , has to give pak a good start

Salman Butt will be opening today.....

 

[Sparhawk]

Lets see what Aamer can do with a semi new ball

 

[Zahid87]

he is turning out to be worse than Malik

Give him time before judging him too harshly.

 

[Lethal]

Good ball from Aamer.

Swipe by Shah

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

massive 666666666666666666666666666666666666

 

[Zahid87]

Shot by Shah. Aamer has to keep his cool here.

 

[pakistani]

a mighty six

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Give him time before judging him too harshly.

im playing devils advocate here - if this was Malik then a million threads would have been started by now slating him

 

[Lethal]

That is a mighty 6 from Shah.

97 metres.

 

[Inswinger]

Big hit by Shah.

 

[Sparhawk]

89.4 mph by Aamer smashed for a huge six by Shah

 

[down4whatever]

97 m shot by Shah.
