[Gasherbrum]

waqar's secret is that he makes sure no one mucks around in the dressing rooms

 

[mooz]

waqar is cracking me up.

 

[samisback]

We should also have Tests in Hyderabad. PCB should build a new stadium there.

i rather have them play in pindi then hyderabad!

 

[mooz]

i rather have them play in pindi then hyderabad!

Pindi gets test matches all the time, Hyderabad should get some matches too.

 

[khilari]

crowd getting louder...
good chants...

88/2 --- 25 overs

 

[samisback]

25 overs 88 for 2

 

[Shayan]

88-2

 

[luvthegame]

Hyderabad deserves it. Pindi is already a venue.

 

[sneekysneeky]

i hear naray Haidery in the background.... Faisalabad never disappoints with the crowd... stadium mostly full

 

[samisback]

crowd getting louder...
good chants...

88/2 --- 25 overs

i smell chacha cricket around!

 

[samisback]

sweeps n 4 runs after sometime finally a boundary pak 93 now

 

[khilari]

Choukka on fineleg by YK.... Nice Crowd ...

 

[luvthegame]

Hyderabad is a big city. We should have more cricket in other parts of Pakistan like Quetta and Peshawar.

 

[mooz]

25 overs 88 for 2

Not a bad ODI score
India probably ahead on points so far, however we only got 9 more runs from our openers in the first match so its not all bad.

 

[samisback]

a late cut another 4 ..gud runs starting to flow now 2 fours to younis 97 for 2 now thats more like it

 

[luvthegame]

anothe 4 by YK. A sweep.

 

[luvthegame]

Another cut. 4...by YK off Bhajiii

 

[mooz]

Deano overplaying YK's lack of confidence in MoYo's running. This is not the first time MoYo has sold his partner up the river with his running.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

That near run-out of YK seems to have woken him up and made him more aggressive. Probably thinking - I might have been run-out for a low score without having opened up! Better open up now!

 

[khilari]

Kumble looking much whiter... Pakistan Zindabad

 

[luvthegame]

Kumble on..

 

[samisback]

kumble bowling very slow not the usual kumble pace.........they have a game plan......n gud to see both bhai n kumble sticking to it..again a confusuion what are these 2 doing...

 

[the true passionist]

only if Pak can get sehwag early...this should be a good contest

 

[luvthegame]

Ball is keeping low. This will be interesting.

 

[samisback]

deano = some guys are gud callers of a run.........in my time mark waugh used to be the worse, he used to get me run out for a living

 

[badxhah]

karachiites don't come to test matches in big numbers, hopefully things will be diff next week.

 

[khilari]

103-2
Yk 26
Moyo 17

 

[badxhah]

Dont expecct big test crowd in karachi

 

[the true passionist]

that sweep is not a wise move with a leg-slip on...
without a leg-slip it is ok

 

[samisback]

gud the runs have started to flow again eazy singles being taken...which is gud...doesnt create pressure on the batters n disturbs the bowlers line o length as well....another cracking shot but straight to sachin at mid off

 

[khilari]

Dhoni is such a quite keeper..... Our keepers r much more lively..

 

[samisback]

[khilari]

Pulled on midwicket for four... Moyo to Kumble

 

[luvthegame]

MY taking KUmble on..another 4....

 

[mooz]

[KaSaNoVa_G]

RP singh was not all that.. his bowling was kind of all over the place for me.. apart from the odd good ball... then again it is his 1st game so you
could expect a bit of that...

 

[nafajafam]

Short ball and smaked for 4

 

[khilari]

same shot - same result... 9 runs off this over
124-2

 

[samisback]

[luvthegame]

[Gasherbrum]

poor ball. kumble drags it short and yousuf pulls it away through mid wicket for four.

 

[nafajafam]

RP singh was not all that.. his bowling was kind of all over the place for me.. apart from the odd good ball... then again it is his 1st game so you
