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

[Shayan]

Expect lots of slower balls.

 

[jusarrived]

Sharma still has a over left , interesting ....but PK is good bowler for the last overs

 

[hussein]

those who come on PP and have never seen him bat yet proclaim that he cant bat.

sajo, where u sitting in the match?

 

[ali110]

Is Dhoni really experimenting here. No teeli for last over. Strange move.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Yasir has always been a good batsman, especially when there is some pace on the ball. Go yasir go!

 

[Zahid87]

Wide!! PK getting nervous.

 

[Boi]

We need a big over here!!

 

[AZ]

wide!

 

[hussein]

Who said Arafat cant bat?

Great batting from him!

u did , boi

 

[Shahid A]

We Want Sixes We Want Sixes

 

[Sparhawk]

dhoni u fool, bowl sharma

whose side are u on??

 

[Shayan]

Wide"!!! very surprised that Ishant isn't bowling. Apparently he's not so good at the death but he's been the best bowler by far today!!

Single taken.

 

[AZ]

Misbah is gonna try the scoop!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Really should have pushed for two there

 

[bone_thug786]

good pull back by pakistan wondser if our bowlers can perform.

 

[Shayan]

4 to go

 

[Zahid87]

Finally Misbah gets going.

 

[taqi]

atlast 4 by misbah

 

[hussein]

wooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooo

 

[AZ]

muscled over long off!!!! 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444

 

[ItsMeK1]

misbah no scoop shot of praveen this time

 

[IMMY69]

great shot by the misbah

 

[Shayan]

150 up!! Beautiful shot from Misbah the Haq!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Full toss smashed down for 4. 150 comes up!

 

[pak4life]

misbah should have hitted out a few overs ago

 

[IMMY69]

now then yasir...do it mano

 

[Lethal]

Good batting from these two.

 

[Shayan]

good slower one! single taken. He's definitely gonna bowl another slower one!! Expect it Yasir!

 

[IMMY69]

misbah should have hitted out a few overs ago

and we would have been all out for 120

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Misbah misses out on the slower one but gets a single anyways. 2 balls to go, 152/6

 

[ItsMeK1]

unlucky this time arafat

 

[AZ]

SCOOP IT MISBAH come on!!!!!!

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

cmon boys make it 157 and make it like the final all over agn

 

[Saj]

single to short 3rd man.

Misbah to face the last ball which is a wide, so its not the last ball

 

[Shayan]

Wide!!

 

[AZ]

wahahah Praveen ki phat rahi hai!!!!!!!!

 

[Saj]

4 to MUH

158 for 6

 

[IMMY69]

fighting total here.....

 

[Sabika]

SICK arafat

 

[Shayan]

158! I'm happy with that!

 

[ItsMeK1]

what a shot by misbah ..... misbah surely have hell lot of time to play any shot

 

[AZ]

and cannoned over MW for 4!!!!!!!!!!! great finish

 

[Sparhawk]

Another wide

6 will get us 160..

444444444444 off the last ball, i'll take it. 158 is a good score

 

[Lethal]

Well batted by Younus, Misbah and Arafat at the end.

158 is decent and challenging. Something to bowl at.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

even better, Pakistan finish with a very competitive 158. We can defend this guys

 

[XFactor]

Good score by Pakistan in the end. Game on! 150s matches are always going to be very interesting.....

 

[Saj]

I think 160 was a minimum score. Pak are about 20 runs short really.

Need a very good bowling effort here.

 

[rubel_18]

A good challenging total, now just need to bowl well against the Indian batsmen

 

[jusarrived]

158 par score achieved

 

[AZ]

159 target...not bad, but should have been 180+

we will have to bowl really well to win this one

 

[ali110]

If we can somehow see how fawad would have played, it would be great.

 

[Zahid87]

They really shouldn't interview Ishant. His english and his voice is cringeworthy. But credit to him for trying.

 

[Shahid A]

over the years we recover from an colapse then say we can do it this its a decent score then india come out and just batter us in the first few overs and win the match been tehre done that

 

[Afridi_Fan]

good fighting score this

 

[Lethal]

Decent total.

Good bowling and fielding from Pakistan will make it an interesting game.

 

[saeed-sohail]

good effort overall after that collapse.Younis and misbah spent some good time in the middle .

 

[taqi]

37 from last 3 not the 40 so 3 runs short

 

[Sabika]

yep
160 is ok
if only we had mo asif

 

[Noman]

over the years we recover from an colapse then say we can do it this its a decent score then india come out and just batter us in the first few overs and win the match been tehre done that

Let hope we win here,..

 

[Imy]

Compared to Tanvir i will take Arafat any day,he is a proper all rounder, Tanvir is not an allrounder and right now out of form and with a terrible attitude

 

[shaun3]

ok Aamer time to shine, plz show us something special

 

[Lodhiz]

In the end a good score, it looked like we were going to get over 200 at one point, firing right at the beginning. Then we lost crucial wickets so quickly so it looked like we'd only end up with 120 or below. Good score managed in the end, if only they played that well from the beginning. Either way, 150 is the benchmark in T20I's to defend.

 

[Lethal]

Why oh why didn't Fawad Alam play. Saj next time you see Inti - give him a good wack.

People are right in saying that he is the official 12th man or he just comes to carry the drinks.

 

[12thMan]

364 people online here. Just saw the score. 150 is decent but need to control the power play overs

 

[shaun3]

over the years we recover from an colapse then say we can do it this its a decent score then india come out and just batter us in the first few overs and win the match been tehre done that

I am having some terrible dejavu as well (03 wc.....)

 

[Noman]

Indian batting line is huge

 

[Couch Cricketer]

we need to keep them to a low score in the first six overs if they get a good start then it will be hard for us to fight back as our spinners will loose their effectiveness

 

[Tapori]

Most pleased - but despite the brilliant performances of Arafat And Misbah:

Fawad Alam's mystifying exclusion from any sort of competetive BATTING opportunity on the International stage can surely be explained by the PCB viewing him -

as some sort of lethal/top secret special weapon,

Too powerful , Too dangerous to unleash upon this stage

with the words "Handle With Care" etched upon him

to be used as sparingly and wisely as possible...

That , or the PCB management are chumps...

 

[Lodhiz]

Even though the Indian batting line up is huge, they do falter against us too! We choke against India and they choke against us as well, I think it will be an equal challenge for them.

 

[mustafa]

india bowling without zaheer is ******

 

[Lethal]

Time for the bowlers and fielders to take over.

First time I will see Aamer bowl and hope he succeeds.

Come on Pakistan.

 

[shaun3]

btw, any sign of the unibrowsers at the match?

 

[invincible]

india bowling without zaheer is ****ing

What's the latest on him?

 

[Amjid Javed]

159 is defenable if pakistan bowl well, Depends who handles pressure better in 2nd half of the game.

 

[Shayan]

Agreed, don't know whats going on.
