Pakistan v India | T20 Warm Up | The Oval | 03/06/09 | India Innings

[bone_thug786]

poor decisions by the captain. he needs to bring on the spinners. fast bowlers are getting lamped

 

[taqi]

why he is still bowling arafat

 

[Zaad]

we could definatley use some wickets right about now

bring on Afridi..

 

[Couch Cricketer]

aamer seems the better bowler compared to
Talha, Sohail,

 

[jusarrived]

slower ball , lucky Rohit

 

[Umta]

oh man that was alucky shot

 

[Inswinger]

Why was Tanvir not brought on?

 

[bone_thug786]

our pace attack is weak.

 

[pak4life]

Not a single shot in anger if only our openers can play like this.

 

[sehsan]

Younis is experimenting it to see how yasir can bowl in power plays

 

[Lodhiz]

Keep this in your mind.

That was his FRIST over in a bg game infront of a capacity crowd.

Give him a break.

I'm not prodding at him! I'm just saying...

 

[Inswinger]

Yasir is not using his county experience here.

 

[Sparhawk]

Another bad over, we need to build some pressure.

 

[Phuzz]

how fast is aamir?

 

[taqi]

no wickets from first 6 in both of the warmup matches

 

[Shahid A]

Game Over???

 

[Inswinger]

Won't be surprised if Afridi comes on soon.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We need to find a partner for Aamer in the powerplay overs.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Keep Aamir from one end for now and get Afridi on.

Btw, Aamir is definitely in the 140's, great prospect.

 

[Boi]

India are simply cruising.
They should easily win this now.

 

[Sparhawk]

Great start Amir.. lets have a maiden!

 

[taqi]

aamir in 140s for sure

 

[Phuzz]

hope aamir is our new superstar, we don't want to be going back to that washed up clown akhtar

 

[Sparhawk]

Or 3 wides

 

[Lodhiz]

I'm loving Amir's pace here, the batsmen are struggling to hit the ball!

 

[ItsMeK1]

nice aggression by amir

 

[Saj]

Pak bowling

 

[Boi]

Aamir has been best bowler so far.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

sharp bouncer there. Did you see how much altitude was on that delivery? Aamir is impressing me more and more with every ball

 

[Uzzy]

Man, does this team suck bad or what.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

their batting is too strong...and our pacers got nothing going for them

 

[Boi]

What a sharp bouncer.

Great bouncer but given as a wide.

 

[Lethal]

Pakistan getting a pasting.

Aamer looks decent but can you blame the bowlers. Its a batting paradise.

Pakistan's batting is rubbish. Thats a fact.

 

[Sabika]

i hope pakistan takes a lot home from these games. thats what the point of them is anyways.

 

[tauseefm]

Man, does this team suck bad or what.

bro go an watch Eng and WI game. i am loving this match even though we are not doing that good.

 

[Boi]

Smacked over mid wicket for Four.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Rohit Sharma is such a talent, Aamer definitely has tons of pace yet Sharma looks like he has years to play the ball

 

[Noman]

we need Shoaib Akhtar here,,

 

[Uzzy]

bro go an watch Eng and WI game. i am loving this match even though we are not doing that good.

When was the last time they did good?

 

[bone_thug786]

To be honest with you lot, this has been really poor from our bowlers so far.

as usual. get used to it. pace is finished in pakistan. aamir looks good though

 

[Lethal]

Aamer very impressive. Batsman finding it hard to get Aamer away apart from the boundary.

 

[Lightning]

Aamir is quick.

 

[Noman]

I miss Shoaib Akhtar here badly

 

[Boi]

Saeed Ajmal HAS to get a wicket very quickly othevise we are out of this game.

 

[tauseefm]

When was the last time they did good?

When was the last time they played T20 like other teams?

 

[Noman]

we need Akhtar and Asif back

 

[Shahid A]

Night Night Pakistan

 

[Uzzy]

When was the last time they played T20 like other teams?

Dont they play enough of it domestically?

 

[Inswinger]

as usual. get used to it. pace is finished in pakistan. aamir looks good though

Contradicting yourself there...

 

[Boi]

India are going to win this match with 10 wickets in hand

 

[Sabika]

pakistan cant feild

 

[Noman]

Akhtar,
asif,
aamir
gul
afridi
Should be the ideal attack for Pakistan

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Hmm I think with a third umpire that would have been a run out

EDIT: nvm he was in

 

[Shahid A]

india win by 10 wickets

 

[Inswinger]

Dont they play enough of it domestically?

Right. And our domestic circuit is the same as international cricket...


----Missed chance there.

 

[Lethal]

Afridi should gone for the direct hit.

 

[Inswinger]

That was too close to be not referred to the 3rd umpire.

 

[Phuzz]

we need Akhtar and Asif back

I dont want that embarassment called Akhtar back. I'm willing to give Asif a chance because he's still young and can learn. But Akhtar is well and truly finished.

 

[Sparhawk]

That was too close to be not referred to the 3rd umpire.

No 3rd umpires for warm up matches

 

[Lethal]

Afridi coming on to bowl.

 

[Uzzy]

Right. And our domestic circuit is the same as international cricket...


----Missed chance there.

I never said it was, he brought up when Pakistan played T20's and I gave him a reply.

 

[Inswinger]

My bad.
According to cricinfo there is no 3rd umpire for warm up matches.

 

[Shahid A]

why did i wait for this match BLOODY HELL1!!!!!!!

 

[Uzzy]

Eh, screw this match. Its lost, rather watch the apprentice.

 

[Noman]

Pakistani players looks tired

 

[Lethal]

Toos short from Afridi. Can't really blame the bowlers.

Batsman were a let down. Big time.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

good team india has man...we have to play miraculous cricket to win against them at this point

 

[Inswinger]

Eh, screw this match. Its lost, rather watch the apprentice.

Okay. Not expecting another post from you now. Enjoy the apprentice....

 

[bone_thug786]

Toos short from Afridi. Can't really blame the bowlers.

Batsman were a let down. Big time.

turning point when shehzad got akmal run out. but 158 is defendable. pace attack let batsmen settle in.

 

[Sabika]

doctrove was right though about the run out. if it was another team on the field that would have been out

 

[Lethal]

Tanvir on.

Its too easy for India.

 

[srh]

Tanvir the 12th man is now bowling.

 

[Saj]

Tanvir bowling with good pace today. Bending his back.

 

[Sparhawk]

We look incapable of taking a wicket.. that is just sad

 

[Boi]

Wasim Akram's commentry is getting a little annoying.

 

[bone_thug786]

well played tanvir. keep it up

 

[Lethal]

Decent over from Tanvir so far.

Then he gives a full toss - 2 runs.

And then another full toss on his pads.

Pakistan's bowling is all over the place.

 

[Savak]

This Indian team is too good for Pakistan i am afraid. The IPL has definately worked in their favor along with some youngster friendly, aggressive promotion selection policies.

At this point in time Indian Youngsters >>>>>>>>>>>> Pakistani players. In fact i am not sure whether Pakistani talent (if there is any) is ready to compete with most teams now. It was unfortunate that we lost out on cricket in 2008 while teams around the world played, got a lot of experience under their belt and discovered new players, but we cant get that time back.

Going back to the ICL players is a short term fix but sadly it has to be taken if we want to see this team look anywhere formidable. Otherwise we need to lower are expectations from our team and accept the team as it is.

 

[Lodhiz]

No effort on the field here. No athleticism whats-so-ever!

 

[srh]

This is a total batting wicket. Pakistan should have scored 200+ to have a chance.
