Pakistan v India | CT 2009 | Centurion | 26/9/09 | Pak Inns

[Zechariah]

Some posters in here need to get real.

We need to keep the score board ticking here and have a go in the last overs.

Speeding up right now will result in loss of wickets.

Common sense applies.

 

[Viv_rav]

guys my stream crashed, anyone able to tell me if bhajji's getting any spin or is the ball holding up for the spinners etc?

 

[Seen Sheen]

I think Afridi will soon have to personally retire Malik.

I guess it would be other way around..

 

[Saj]

hmmm not great this.

The plan is of course to keep wickets in tact, but the run rate is very ordinary and the pressure will be on Umar, Afridi and Rana.

In the next few overs, one of these 2 batting at the moment need to cut loose.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

The part timers have already bowled 8 overs...

 

[PB]

Mark My Words. India will win by 3 wickets..

 

[mindless slogging]

Malik needs to look for boundaries now. Yousuf can anchor the innings.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Wicket at this stage will be a disaster. Let them go until 35th over then umar and afridi can attack instead of rebuilding

Or it can be a blessing in disguise.

 

[Zaz]

Come on malik........................... WTH!!!!!!!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50 partnership between Moyo and Malik off 72 balls

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

I suggest changing Malik's nick name from "Moon" to " Glacier"

a glacier that is melting....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik really needs to get a move on from here on he's taking up way too much time and balls

 

[Poison]

v r lucky to won match against WI... otherwise...

Yea I was going to say, quite personally I'm quite happy we got that game out of the way. They seem like a bit of a dark horse.

 

[JeeraBlade]

Very very poor team selection by YK ever since he took over. T20 WC, SL tour and today. Misbah and Fawad should have been played instead of Malik and himself.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Mark My Words. India will win by 3 wickets..

And Malik will hit six sixes in this match.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

YP has been economical, so Dhoni might as well bowl more then 10 overs from part timers...

 

[Sparhawk]

50 (72) Not a bad partnership, but its worse because theyve batted against part timers mostly

 

[imshally81]

50 partnership on 72 deliveries

 

[mindless slogging]

How is Malik ranked 26th in ODI's?

There are 26 players better than him in Pakistan.

 

[lollol]

Bhajji has never really been a danger against PAK. Yes, he can keep the scoring rate low, but i cant remember him taking more than 1 wkt/innings against PAK. Infact, did he ever took more than 1 wkt in a game against PAK?

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

instead of attacking part timers like virat and pathan they are paying very much respect to them.

 

[Juggernaut]

I still can't get over how poor YK's shot was.

 

[Zaz]

yeah yousuf can anchor innings

Malik should ve been a lot more threatening, hes been so poor for last 6 months it unbelievable

 

[Viv_rav]

Pak scoreboard starting to look daunting now with 2 big hitters lined up

 

[Poison]

Very very poor team selection by YK ever since he took over. T20 WC, SL tour and today. Misbah and Fawad should have been played instead of Malik and himself.

I hope to God you are kidding, at least on the Misbah part.

 

[On_the_up]

Whats the sky commentators take on the match so far? I am stuck with GEO. People comentating off the television.

 

[Juggernaut]

Kohli is a fielder and a half.

He's saved quite a few runs.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Out next target is 135/3 by the end of 30 overs

 

[JeeraBlade]

WC 2003 after 27 overs 127/3
Today after 27 overs 117/3

 

[imshally81]

slow turn for bhajji

 

[Poison]

How is Malik ranked 26th in ODI's?

There are 26 players better than him in Pakistan.

There are 26 players better than him in my family !

 

[lollol]

Cricinfo

Arun Iyer: " think the pair is batting quite sensibly. Indian bowlers is known to be raining runs towards the end. Just have to keep wickets which they are doing sensibly without being much slow. 250 is good enough for india" [on this track]

He's trying to jinx it!

 

[imshally81]

good fielding by kohli

 

[Sparhawk]

Short and wide delivery. Wasted!!!

 

[JeeraBlade]

I hope to God you are kidding, at least on the Misbah part.

A fully fit YK should be preferred over Misbah but Malik should not be in the team AT ALL!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Whats the sky commentators take on the match so far? I am stuck with GEO. People comentating off the television.

Wasim Akram And Ravi Shastri are on at the moment.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

malik beaten..

 

[Poison]

We will have to field like demons today. Like demons I say.

 

[PB]

WC 2003 after 27 overs 127/3
Today after 27 overs 117/3

So where 10 runs behind, Meaning we scored 272 then, so we will probably score 262...

 

[imshally81]

what a bowl by bhaji

 

[Juggernaut]

Ha Ha did any body just hear Wasim Akram:

Its a witit .. wtick ... wicket taking delivery.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor ball and deserved what it got 4 runs by Malik

 

[aamir]

4 wide!

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

4 for Pakistan...courtesy wide..

 

[Zaz]

Useful boundary, thanks to bowler, only way we could ve got it is wides

 

[imshally81]

Wasim Akram And Ravi Shastri are on at the moment.

both r craps

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ha Ha did any body just hear Wasim Akram:

Its a witit .. wtick ... wicket taking delivery.

Yeah!

 

[Sparhawk]

4 to Malik

He needs to hit a lot more of those to redeem himself

 

[Juggernaut]

So where 10 runs behind, Meaning we scored 272 then, so we will probably score 262...

this time we have Umar Akmal

 

[Poison]

Hurrah for runs.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Horrundous delivery by Bhanji.

 

[mindless slogging]

We will seriously struggle to get to 300. Willis and co. thought that 270/280 is the score to get, Akram thinks 260.

 

[Zaz]

Misbah and malik are big doubts for future matches unless malik redeems himself with a big knock

 

[amar1212]

hmmm not great this.

The plan is of course to keep wickets in tact, but the run rate is very ordinary and the pressure will be on Umar, Afridi and Rana.

In the next few overs, one of these 2 batting at the moment need to cut loose.

you can always increase the runrate with the powerplay at the end..we have afrid,umer, and rana..but if we lose wickts now, then those players will also be in alot of pressure

 

[PB]

this time we have Umar Akmal

Then 372 should be the score. .

 

[Poison]

4 to Malik

He needs to hit a lot more of those to redeem himself

Malik hit a four? I thought it was wides?

 

[Momo]

WC 2003 after 27 overs 127/3
Today after 27 overs 117/3

WC 2003: we lost
Today: We win (iA)

 

[thurkeebaba]

we need at least 15 in the next two overs -- -140 in 30 would be a good score

 

[Juggernaut]

Harsha Boghle is on.

I have to say I got nothing against the guy but sometimes he sounds as if a radio's being tuned from one channel to the other.

 

[thurkeebaba]

oh no B. willis is on... sleepyyyyy

 

[On_the_up]

I like Ravi shastri's commentary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ha Ha did any body just hear Wasim Akram:

Its a witit .. wtick ... wicket taking delivery.

I just rewinded it to hear it again! Then he changes it completely "oh its a doosra"

 

[Poison]

The ante has been upped.



We're going well, no need to take stupid risks now.

 

[Oxy]

Willis - Bhogle.

Time to 'Mute' for 30 mins....

 

[imshally81]

Harsha Boghle is on.

Bang on!

 

[Zaz]

we are going at 4.5 an over, theres only so much that can be increased

We ve dug a big hole for ourselves, gonna take some getting out of

 

[SAM'S]

I miss vicky's funny commentary

 

[cricketpassion]

WC 2003: we lost

Today: We win (iA)

Inshallah

 

[mindless slogging]

Malik is making Yousuf Pathan look like an actual Pathan.

 

[imshally81]

West Indies require another 98 runs with 6 wickets and 12.2 overs remaining

 

[Viv_rav]

Generally speaking, in ODIs; a gettable score is deemed double of what you have at 30 Overs. So pak looks on par with getting 280 ish

 

[PakistanFan]

100 dot balls...this is very poor by Pak

 

[PapaBear]

Just came back from Maghrib salah and nice to see, still 3 wickets down, at least there is no collapse, 240 is gettable inshallah

 

[Juggernaut]

I thought Bhajji would bowl a lot better.

He hasn't been bad but not all that great either.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

I'm still wondering can Yousuf score a century?

 

[Zaz]

260 if we double from here (30 overs)

Not enough

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Yousuf surviving stumping chance... missed by dhoni..

 

[Viv_rav]

Wayyy too many extras by the indians here

 

[Seen Sheen]

I still can't get over how poor YK's shot was.

forget that..in addition to the fact that it was a good ball..Malik's inability to score on boundary balls put huge pressure on YK,thats why he was moving around trying to manufacture something.
