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

[Cheguvera]

They call it gurria kay baal in Pakistan...Harsha...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

LBW shout turned down

 

[lollol]

Goes with his face.

Ugly Nehra gets his second wicket

If someone takes off Nehra's head with an axe I will not be displeased.

Not nice

 

[JeeraBlade]

Mubarak Ho

Malik with a run.

) )
We sit Misbah and Fawad out but play him.
I have no idea why this guy is in the team!!!

 

[Cheguvera]

Mulak saab playing in a football match...

 

[Inswinger]

COme on fellas.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik is looking out of sorts here

 

[karachiite]

First yorker by th eindians today and malik gets hit on the pads.

 

[Usman Chadda]

No way in hell do I want Malik to open in CT if this is the kind of form he is in

Oh awesome, another full length delivery going down the legside, missed. Who else wants Malik to open now?

 

[Cheguvera]

Come on you just can't drop an ex captain...

 

[haroonrasheed320]

they are playing like a test match

 

[karachiite]

Malik looking to bat 50 overs here but is he gonna score any runs???

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Malik come on. Now he has taken his time he has to get a good score.

 

[Juggernaut]

I'd like to think Pakistan are playing like this because they have a total in mind.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Do they even know that the powerplay is on?

 

[Momo]

Shoaib Malik in the 'well-left' mode.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Malik prefers letting the balls go through to Dhoni than anything else

 

[karachiite]

Are we seeing the negative effects of competition??? Malik looks like he's playing for his place in the side.

 

[Poison]

Can someone please tell Nehra he runs in looking like he's been violated with a large pole.

Thanks.

 

[imshally81]

hi guyz

any live link ??

 

[Usman Chadda]

I dont have a problem with him leaving good deliveries. Its the crap ones that he has missed that I am worried about!

 

[Momo]

Do they even know that the powerplay is on?

What is powerplay?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Once again I forget to change my fantasy team!

 

[hasanb]

Pakistan digging themselves into a hole here, consolidation is required but so are singles and rotation of the strike!

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Hmmmm pitch is slowing down already.

 

[Inswinger]

Sharma bowling really well.

 

[karachiite]

Finally decides to use his bat Malik but the ball doesnt go anywhere.

 

[hasanb]

Once again I forget to change my fantasy team!

) good going mate

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What is powerplay?

where power should take over the whole body and you see blood everywhere!

 

[Juggernaut]

The ball isn't particularly moving so how hard can it be to rotate the strike.

I expect a wicket.

And I think it'll be Malik.

 

[karachiite]

Short wide juicy ball and Malik doesn't want anything to do with it.

 

[Sparhawk]

I hope we're not trying to bring the run rate down to meet our target of 240. Theres no harm in scoring a few extra runs.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

india pak games won in the mind

we are not so mentally strong...2 wickets and we are hiding in a cave

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Malik at 4. That means U Akmal will come in 6. Or Have they demoted Moyo?

 

[JeeraBlade]

This is what WI is doing to Aus;

Recent overs 1 . 1 1 . 1 | 1 . 1 1 . . | 1 . 1 1 1 1 | 1 1

This is what Malik and Y/k doing:

Recent overs 1 . . . W . | . . . . . . | . . . . . 1 | . . . .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

) good going mate

All thanks to you mate!

 

[Inswinger]

1 run off the last 18 balls.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Finally a clean shot........ Straight to the fielder.

 

[Usman Chadda]

The pitch is definitely going to get slower and slower

Malik, meanwhile, smashes a full length delivery to mid-off. Another maiden

Pakistan 54/2 in 12 overs. Satyanas ho gaya quick start ka issed:

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are playing a test match for sure! everyone who is bored lets switch over to the WI run chase! They are doing pretty well!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

RP coming back for his 2nd spell

 

[Desi]

fml

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

I tihnk we giving them wayy too much respect now... what you guys think will be a good score ? 250ish ?

 

[Cheguvera]

Somebody should tell Mulak saab that this isn't the same pitch as the one he played on at wanderers...no point in leaving medium paced balls outside off stump...

 

[undisputed]

cmon pakistan!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Starts with a wide down legside

 

[Inswinger]

Need to go after RP

 

[karachiite]

This is really frustrating. They're just building pressure for themselves by not even trying to rotate the strike. But RP comes and gifts us a wide

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Malik Sahab showing his class as batsman.... He is a world class player without a doubt.

 

[Usman Chadda]

RP Singh back into the attack. Starts off with a wide

 

[Viv_rav]

... ***? Pak's scored 5 runs in the last 5 overs....

 

[Deewana Mastana]

In the last 5 overs Pak has scored 3 runs 1 courtesy to this wide!

 

[hasanb]

finally RP gives us a run with that wide!

 

[khilari]

There was a time when I used to look forward to see Malik bat

 

[coy0607]

they have to go after rp singh here

 

[Poison]

Dont worry boys, the good old Kitply Cup strategy is back

 

[khalidali7070]

congrats we have managed 3 runs in 5 overs.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

I tihnk we giving them wayy too much respect now... what you guys think will be a good score ? 250ish ?

good score is one india can't make...we won't know that till the 2nd innings

 

[PapaBear]

They are playing off the overs of Phasht bowlers, then they wll hit.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Are we done with Powper plays?

 

[saeed-sohail]

We don't learn do we its not like bowling has become good suddenly.This is a oneday game for God sake if preserving wickets means not scoring a run it 5 overs then I am sorry to say this but captain and management need to see a psychiatrist.

 

[Inswinger]

Rare misfield gives us 2

 

[Usman Chadda]

YK gets two runs thanks to average fielding by Tendulkar

 

[karachiite]

Another one down the leg side. Yousuf like fielding from Sachin allows 2 runs.

 

[mindless slogging]

whoever said 70 after 15 overs is ambitious

 

[khilari]

these two runs felt good ... really good.

 

[undisputed]

you always need one postive player out of the two players, and we got 2 negatives that's why things are not ticking on

 

[Salazar]

And this is what Pakistan is doing to India

Recent overs 1 . . . W . | . . . . . . | . . . . . 1 | . . . . . . | 1wd

 

[undisputed]

what score do pak need ?

 

[sali]

Average bowling making looked like extra ordinary. Thanks to Imran screwing up again. Yonus will just keep blocking. 3 rund 5 over

 

[Inswinger]

We don't learn do we its not like bowling has become good suddenly.This is a oneday game for God sake if preserving wickets means not scoring a run it 5 overs then I am sorry to say this but captain and management need to see a psychiatrist.

Did you see Ishant's last over? He hit the perfect line and length.

 

[Shaheerthe2nd]

Pakistan justs needs to rotate the strike. Also why can't we just jump out of the crease and smash the ball over the bowler's head. Like Hayden does.

 

[moumotta]

India are one bowler short. Pathan and Raina will provide plenty of scoring opportunities to YK with wickets in hand.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Raina with a really good stop once again

 

[karachiite]

Great fielding in the covers there. Saves a boundary.

 

[hasanb]

ah i seriously want to punch raina

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Harsha talks too much ... most of it garbage

no man he sounds good to me

 

[Inswinger]

Wrist slitters are out in full force........

 

[Usman Chadda]

Malik was chugging along in the same vein before he smashed 130-odd against Warriors. Lets hope that is the case today too!

YK absolutely smashes a cover drive but Raina dives full length to prevent a certain boundary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was that by YK giving a return catch
