[Oxy]

Malik (how dare he be selected)

The power of prayer....

 

[the true passionist]

do u still need to ask him?

 

[RunInzyRun]

Yuvraj............first ball...........almost run out...

 

[samisback]

what a ripper of a catchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh malik u lil beautyyyyyyyyyy oooo baley baleyyyyyyyyy o shava shavaaaaaaaaaaa man i should captain pak

yuvraf off the mark with that ifi single.........................asif does the trick!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

yuvi takes a single first ball

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Shall I go for another snack guys....?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[karachiite]

any desciptions of malik catch

 

[Raz]

How abt the UK guys going to pray Fajr?

Good idea

 

[Amjid Javed]

well done asif, been pick of pakistans bowlers.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another single to yuvi

 

[the true passionist]

damage done.there is no need to be so happy now. I guess.

yeh u r right...but we need some damage control here after the big hitters are out.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

afridi should open today

 

[samisback]

i still blv the best way to restrict em is to get them all out quickly otherwise 330 is very much on the cards........227 for 3 india

 

[Miraj101]

wrong decission to field first. On these pitches with our hitting ability combined with short boundries, we should always bat first and put 300+ on the board.

I will be happy to be the Vice kuptan for u then

 

[Raz]

any desciptions of malik catch

It was a short ball from Asif. Dhoni threw the kitchen sink at it and slashed hard. The ball was wide of Malik and was travelling, he dived full length and in the air to his left, plucking it out of thin air.

 

[Pace]

Right I am off for another snack. Running out of stuff to eat though.

 

[samisback]

ooooooo nearly went straight to inzi just over his head 44444444444 sachin

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ooo risky shot but it goes for 4

 

[karachiite]

Bowling one side of the wicket would be a start

 

[RunInzyRun]

Arun Lal is making me cry inside....every time he makes an idiotic comment, My cricket soul dies a little.

 

[Raz]

Malik (how dare he be selected)

The power of prayer....

I take it you have prayed then?

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Has Pakistan used the supersub? If so who is out?

 

[MIG]

wrong decission to field first. On these pitches with our hitting ability combined with short boundries, we should always bat first and put 300+ on the board.

and why do you think Indians wouldnt be able to bat ?

 

[karachiite]

It was a short ball from Asif. Dhoni threw the kitchen sink at it and slashed hard. The ball was wide of Malik and was travelling, he dived full length and in the air to his left, plucking it out of thin air.

high up? low down?

300 has never been scored at Peshawar....
nd recently the pitches have supported bowlers...pakistan should have picked a couple early wkts..were unlucky

 

[samisback]

any desciptions of malik catch

a jhonty rhodes like....but only with 2 hands gud anticipation by malik..........was slashed hard by dhoni i thought was going for 4! dived towards his left n caught it beautifully!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good ball there to yuvi

 

[the true passionist]

asif...wao

 

[Oxy]

I take it you have prayed then?

6.45am

 

[karachiite]

Has Pakistan used the supersub? If so who is out?

arhad in, gul out

 

[Invictus]

Game on all after these two there is no one left to force the pace for the Indians. We can chase 320 on this pitch. 1 More wicket and we are back in.

 

[RunInzyRun]

300 has never been scored at Peshawar....
nd recently the pitches have supported bowlers...pakistan should have picked a couple early wkts..were unlucky

Well looking at the fact Pathan went out for 20 or so and it was wrongly not given, we were very unlucky

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

i would guess this is asif's last over of his burst

 

[the true passionist]

deano loves sachin

 

[FazzX]

Hey guys, expecting we shall be chasing a total of 340. would it be worh while opening with Afridi to take advantage of the first ten and then the two powerplays or will and Butt be able to produce the goods and get us off to a flying start.

 

[karachiite]

Thaks for the description Raz/Cav. Look forward to seeing it in the highlights

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

arhad in, gul out

Thanks.

 

[Raz]

high up? low down?

Was to his left and was more high up than low down. Kind of like the catch Rana pulled off at Karachi in 2004 to get Tendy but it was more stunning as the ball had been hit a lot harder.

 

[samisback]

why do we perform such servcies of making crappy players into world class batters..........n help out of form betters regain the form of their life? @sachin tendulkar????

236 india............sachin on 79!

 

[Raz]

6.45am

Ok im going now to pray. Inshallah Pakistan will have taken a wicket or two by the time ive come back.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

237-3

 

[karachiite]

i would guess this is asif's last over of his burst

Asif should bowl straight through. Rana and Razi to bowl at the death.

 

[samisback]

if we can restrict em under 330 we have a very gud chance!!!!!!!! but anything over that hmmmmmmmmmmm tricky.........indeed.......240 now india end of 37 overs........

 

[Fine leg]

some sense being put into the proceedings here by Asif.

lets just not concede boundries and everything will be fine.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

240-3 after 37

 

[samisback]

razi replaces asif............

 

[Invictus]

If any team can do it its this team. I back my boys to chase any target India sets them.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razi back on

 

[karachiite]

Need to string together a few overs without conceding boundries. 2 so far

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

good fielding by inzi deano calls it leopard like

 

[samisback]

highest ever score on this ground 296 back in 1987 world cup england vs srilanka..amazing

 

[MIG]

Chaar din ka Dhoni - Phir Andheri Raat Hai......

Dhoni gaya and India not looking that great but 300+ still on the cards.

 

[the true passionist]

deano: oh...Inzimam...oh...leapord like. (on his fielding)

 

[RunInzyRun]

I'd still put my money on Pakistan looking at what we've pulled off against India.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

244-3

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

33.5 Mohammad Asif to Dhoni, OUT: stunning catch! short and wide outside
the off stump, was there to be hit but Dhoni fails to keep it down
the ball goes in the air towards backward point, Malik there
drives across full length to his left and takes a blinder to end a
very good


Sorry Iknow Its very late Dont Call me Paindo

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

overthrow costs extra run

246-3 after 38

 

[samisback]

sachin on 85 now off 96 balls...looks set for another century.................246 india now end of 38 overs
hmm over throws taken as well........sloppy backing up

 

[Nauman]

Score?

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Chaar din ka Dhoni - Phir Andheri Raat Hai......

Dhoni gaya and India not looking that great but 300+ still on the cards.

[RunInzyRun]

What a great student of math Arun Lal is; "He's made 87 off 100 balls, (takes a long pause) That's a strike rate of 87"
