Pakistan V India | 1st ODI Peshawar | Official India Innings thread [6/2/06]

[the true passionist]

wao....
after 30 ovrs...
odi formula say:

192 * 2 = 384

we will be in for a record chase!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

thats dhoni's 50 now as well 195-2 india

 

[karachiite]

Whatever moisture there was has been wasted in the morning, you dont expect the moisture to come back all of a sudden now do you?

The new ball is definitely going to dart around and our batsmen arent too clever against the moving ball. You only need to look at the last match these 2 teams played here to see evidence of that.

Key thing which India managed today was to get through the new ball relatively unscathed. Weather this was due to luck or judgment is debateable.

 

[smoothcriminal]

werent the indians supposed to have a new kit in this series. like a dark blue kit

 

[Bailan]

wao....
after 30 ovrs...

192 * 2 = 384

we will be in for a record chase!!!!

could be entertaining

 

[MIG]

Guls come back game - a lot of mileage left in that young man. Lets not be like Indian fans in that way.

Inzidabest: I know we are all frusrtated but lets not wish ill for our bowlers - if they arent good enough, they will get dropped anyway.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

198-2 now one overthrow there

 

[Aurangzeb]

alright...i've had enough of this bakwas...i hope to wake up in the morning and check cricinfo first thing at work (i would do it first thing in the morning but the former has brought with it good luck) to see some crazy news...like "pakistan edge india by 1 run" or something...but i doubt it...take it easy boys...

 

[the true passionist]

Lot of negativity on this board .... its just a matter of a couple of wickets.

By the way, may be after this match Woolmer will realize that Arshad Khan aint that good and he aint getting younger.

well that's the only positive coming out of his bowling today as yet.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hahahaha what the hell was that by dhoni 4 neways

202-2

 

[Bailan]

48 more runs to get india all out .... if we are too follow my eventfull prediction

 

[inzidabest]

Fact is that Pak will get the best batting conditions when they come to bat - its going to be a close game - have some faith

 

[karachiite]

Falling back down to earth doesnt feel too great.

 

[RunInzyRun]

Dhoni doing the splits.....

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i shall deem that the splits four

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Wel India may score 360 but I have a feeling Pak will be able to chase it Inshallah

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

204-2 now runs being obtained at will

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan cannot win by runs here dude. It has to be by wickets

 

[Bailan]

Runrate up to 6.55 ... i am not sure who is getting hammered more the spinners or the fast bowlers?

 

[darkmoon459]

Have faith you all, we have a good batting line up , hopefully Inzi will make adjustments accordingly and Inshallah we will acheive what ever India set for us.

Inshallah. We will win.

 

[karachiite]

Wish I could share your optimism miggy. 20 overs left and India have 8 wickets in hand, 8 an over from here on and we will be chasing around 360. hmmm

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

tendulkar trying to reverse sweep that but misses it

 

[hatch101]

[Bailan]

[Pace]

Every time I have gone to get something to eat an Indian wicket has fallen. So yes, I have eaten twice so far. I am heading towards the vacant fridge area for a snack.

 

[Raz]

209-2 after 32 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 more to tendulkar

o an hatch he has a minor ankle injury that is not serious he should be back next game id guess

209-2 at the end of the over after another single

[The_Cricket_Devil]

220-2 to end 33rd over...

 

[Fine leg]

Guys guys cool down.

Its a small ground, very fast outfield and a wicket that will make Lahore's look like a bowling paradise.

Once we couldnt quite use the early moisture, this was bound to happen. 325 can be chased here.

 

[samisback]

hmmmmmmmmmmm.............asif needs to come back or either rana now this is getting silly now

 

[Bailan]

Lets have a collective prayer


that may help

 

[the true passionist]

what is the highest score in ODIs 392?

can india be the first to score 400....? a long shot but if dhoni bats 50 ovrs.

 

[Bailan]

CAV's on .... Game ON!!

 

[samisback]

220 for 2 india....drinks lets hope bob woolmer can send some fresh ideas to inzi now

 

[Oxy]

How abt the UK guys going to pray Fajr?

 

[samisback]

CAV's on .... Game ON!!

appriciate that compliment with that asif comes back into the attack.gud!my msg got through!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

asif brought back here

 

[Fine leg]

Inzi needs to bring Asif ... who must bowl yorkers as in death overs .... you have got to frustrate batsmen to get wickets on this pitch.

 

[hatch101]

220 for 2 india....drinks lets hope bob woolmer can send some fresh ideas to inzi now

maybe inzi can drink some redbull and bowl out all them indy playas

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

It ain't over till the fatty sings so Stop crying I am sure Our Butcher is gonna hit 20 sixs today Inshallah

 

[161]

what over are we in and what is the RR - cricinfo is down - indians going crazy

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

single for tendulkar 221-2

 

[Oxy]

I think we will need to chase about 380...and I believe we will win.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

221-2

after 33.3 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

i recon india will get 345-50 here pretty easily.

 

[samisback]

i dont have any probs with any of the players playing in this match........but i do have a prob with all 3 bowlers being exactly the same.......relaying on seam movment.....................make that 4 with razi.......if they knew pindi was out for this one why not get back sami in? or even arafat...........some extra pace was needed........india got lucky.pathan was clearly out....sachin was bowled...........but just one of those days peeps..............i hope when we bat.......it goes our way...another 4 to dhoni mves to 68...india 225 now

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

4 runs there for dhoni moves him onto 68

225-2

 

[inzidabest]
