I wana know why Pakistan choose to field? Anyone? Why? Why?

az moh'd asif showed us the wicket had something for the bowlers early we just didnt utilize it

 

[inzidabest]

300? looks like 350 to me

 

[octavian]

time to bring freedi in

 

[badxhah]

first 20 overs 23 4s n 1 six ...power hitting @ its best

 

[Nauman]

az moh'd asif showed us the wicket had something for the bowlers early we just didnt utilize it

Well both Rana and Asif did beat the bat on a number of occassions just didnt have the luck.

 

[karachiite]

I wana know why Pakistan choose to field? Anyone? Why? Why?

Watch the 1st 5 overs of the innings

 

[Bailan]

its so painfull ... but i feel like going to bed and writing this game off

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

133-2 now india in 20.5 this is slaughter

 

[Bailan]

this is a little more innovation ...

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

134-2 and now afridi in to bowl crowd goes wild

 

[RunInzyRun]

Afridi bowling, the local...well country's hero, crowd's going nuts!

 

[Imy]

dude the frounds are small if you hit its four there is nothing in the pitch plus we took the power play

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Its madness

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

135-2 after 21.2

make that 136

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

quicker one by afridi there good ball

 

[Bailan]

well ... we can start off by not giving batsmen width .. everytime we have bowled straight they have struggled

 

[Muddaser]

Well both Rana and Asif did beat the bat on a number of occassions just didnt have the luck.

Rana bowled a little too short if you ask me.

Trying to bowl quick.

Same goes for Gul.

 

[Raz]

Great first over from Afridi and gets a huge roar from the crowd!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

ooo good over by afridi there

136-2 after the 22nd over's end

 

[smoothcriminal]

anyone up for bringing shoaib malik on the other end. try to squeeze in the overs.

 

[Bailan]

yea ... i was hoping that we would pitch it up to the batsmen and use some seam movment ... but for some reasons our guys didn't do that ....

i just hope we can some how cann them under 250

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

razzaq continues to keep it tight to sachin who still looks out of sorts

 

[Nauman]

Rana bowled a little too short if you ask me.

Trying to bowl quick.

Same goes for Gul.

Gul should have had Pathan out caught behind but umpire didnt give it, if he had given it next 5 deliveries wouldnt have been spanked to the boundary.

 

[inzidabest]

Time to get back Gul. If he does not do well. Arshad should be brought in and he can bowl 5 overs. spin could controll flow of runs.

 

[karachiite]

Pakistan will struggle to chase anything over 275 and at this rate India will score way over that.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

138-2 took 2 runs there

onto 31 now tendulkar

 

[smoothcriminal]

yea ... i was hoping that we would pitch it up to the batsmen and use some seam movment ... but for some reasons our guys didn't do that ....

i just hope we can some how cann them under 250

seems unlikely. we'd be lucky to get them under 300

 

[Bailan]

that will be very very close ...........

 

[RunInzyRun]

Direct hit! Third umpire! might be out.....safe I think

 

[Bailan]

crap ... spoke too soon

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

direct hit taken to 3rd umpire!! could sachin be gone here?

ooo no he just made it good fielding tho

 

[Raz]

Mohammad Yousuf scores a direct hit, great fielding but Tendy is safe

 

[karachiite]

Gul should have had Pathan out caught behind but umpire didnt give it, if he had given it next 5 deliveries wouldnt have been spanked to the boundary.

still no excuse for being hit for 5 in a row

 

[inzidabest]

yea ... i was hoping that we would pitch it up to the batsmen and use some seam movment ... but for some reasons our guys didn't do that ....

i just hope we can some how cann them under 250

250 is only 100 runs away. with Dravid Yuvi and Kaif to come 325 easily

 

[sneekysneeky]

runout gone for thrid umpire but sachin made it

 

[Muddaser]

Gul should have had Pathan out caught behind but umpire didnt give it, if he had given it next 5 deliveries wouldnt have been spanked to the boundary.

IF?

These things happen in cricket, gotta get on with the game.

The next 4 deliveries were trash and deserved to go to the boundary.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

22.5

139-2

 

[Bailan]

seems unlikely. we'd be lucky to get them under 300

I don't like you crushing my glass dreams

 

[smoothcriminal]

moyo has a knack for hitting the stumps from that position

 

[Raz]

141-2 after 23 overs

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

dhoni ends the over witha double

141-2

 

[inzidabest]

runout gone for thrid umpire but sachin made it

was that a direct hit by a Pakistan player

 

[karachiite]

did afridi find any turn?

 

[Nauman]

Need to get Dhoni out quickly.

 

[smoothcriminal]

paying the price for rana's no ball. AXCELLENT SHOT

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

super shot by tendulkar for 4

145-2

 

[Bailan]

did afridi find any turn?

he is finding hte middle of Sachin's batt

 

[sneekysneeky]

was that a direct hit by a Pakistan player

ya direct hit by moyo

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another single to tendi

146-2

slowly but sureley tendulkar is getting his confidence back

 

[azcali78]

I know that but was that really worth chasing 370+

 

[inzidabest]

I am sure Cav is hogging Parathas

 

[Raz]

147-2 after 24

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

for once a sloppy take by kamran gives 1 bye

147-2 at the end of the 24th over

 

[Bailan]

it pains .... it pains .... lets see a wicket ...

 

[inzidabest]

Pakistan need a couple of wickets

 

[the true passionist]

was that a direct hit by a Pakistan player

i dont think that is very unusual.

 

[PapaBear]

A century from Sachin is always round the corner!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

another 4...

151-2

 

[Bailan]

i demand more wickets ........................................ please

 

[smoothcriminal]

shoaib malik needs to be brought in to play

 

[sneekysneeky]

razzaq hit for 4 by dhoni

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

single to dhoni

152-2

 

[Nauman]

Come on guys a wicket is needed.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

tendulkar constantly shuffling across the line here lbw on the cards

 

[Bailan]

Razzaq isn't bowling bad ... he is making batsmen work for hteir runs

 

[octavian]

bring back gul

or sub him

 

[inzidabest]

Is the pitch a complete belter. Then Pakistan will also score runs.

 

[Bailan]

they just subbed him .............. i hate that

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

it looks like maybe arshad is being subbed in for gul now

 

[Imy]

yes it is

 

[azcali78]

153-2. The way Indy's are going we are in for a huge total. I hope I am wrong....

 

[sneekysneeky]

arshad khan on for umar gul

 

[octavian]

inzi does exactly that

 

[Empirebuiltolast]

Its Comming
