Pakistan v Kenya | WC'11 | Group A | Hambantota | 23/02/11 | Kenya Innings

[Sledger]

Poor ball from Shoaib that time, short and wide. Would have been hit by better teams but too quick for these players.

 

[ace4rmspace]

The Old Man cranking it up and keeping it there ... good show!!

 

[AikAlif]

Wasim Akram - "koi nahin koi nahin.. ahista ahista aiga"

aiga aiga, inshAllah zaroor aiga

 

[lumber121]

nigel Long, the umpire reminds of Mr Anderson from Matrix,,,

 

[Sledger]

Nervy times, Kenya well ahead.

Pak were only 10/0.. could be a thriller.

 

[Theo_14]

5 from the over :-

25-0

 

[hur rizvi]

why is Shoaib finding it really hard to pick up wickets these days.

he's bowling well today ... just unlucky that he hasnt found the edge

 

[Markhor]

Kenya 25-0 | 5 overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

25-0 after 5. Shoaib still wicketless against the minnows. Very dissapointed

 

[Fireworks11]

There is no swing.

 

[Markhor]

Nervy times, Kenya well ahead.

Pak were only 10/0.. could be a thriller.

A Ryan ten Doeschate-like innings from one of their batsmen and the unthinkable could happen.

Might as well bring our spinners on early.

 

[chui_kadoo]

he's bowling well today ... just unlucky that he hasnt found the edge

He needs wickets.

 

[nads_rocks]

Has Razzaq ever crossed 85mph before?

 

[Abdullah22]

Nervy times, Kenya well ahead.

Pak were only 10/0.. could be a thriller.

I reckon Kenya will win.meed

Is it the Pak factor or have Kenya improved 200% after the match against NZ.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasim Akram is growing into his commentary role well,when he initially started it was just cliche after cliche but he and Alan Wilkins make a good duo.

Together, they go nicely....in the box! :nj

 

[hur rizvi]

He needs wickets.

he will get them inshaAllah

 

[Theo_14]

Kenyan openers looking comfortable out there, should be a interesting match.

 

[AikAlif]

I reckon Kenya will win.meed

Pak factor

 

[12cavalry]

A. Razzaq looking so average

 

[chui_kadoo]

2 off razzaq

 

[Sledger]

Great timing for two.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Razzaq is bowling some tight line.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need to field better - Need to have some really tough fielding drills before Saturday PAKISTAN!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Long road to freedom - Mendela

Lond road to victory - Tikolo

Class stuff Wilkins )

 

[S_K]

The team looks extremely rusty

 

[Theo_14]

3 from the over - much better from Razzaq, pitched the ball up and should do that more often.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

26/0 after 6 overs

 

[chui_kadoo]

28-0 after 6. solid start by kenya

 

[ace4rmspace]

Hmmm ... outfield is slow for the Kenyans too.

*rips up conspiracy theory and eats it*

 

[AikAlif]

A. Razzaq looking so average

i really don't get this. did something happen to Gul I don't know about? Afridi needs to wake up and see that a change needs to be made. Opening the bowling with Razzaq is ridiculous.

 

[ace4rmspace]

LOL ... nice moves by the kids in the stands!!

 

[sam]

Nobody looks like taking a wicket.

 

[Sledger]

No, Gul always gets smashed with the new ball.

 

[ZAK]

28/0 in 6.

 

[No_Username]

Lol at Razzaq being the only batsmen to score a fifty in Pakistan squad, we've got 5 now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

i really don't get this. did something happen to Gul I don't know about? Afridi needs to wake up and see that a change needs to be made. Opening the bowling with Razzaq is ridiculous.

3 overs for 18 for Razzaq at 6 should be enough for the day!

 

[ace4rmspace]

i really don't get this. did something happen to Gul I don't know about? Afridi needs to wake up and see that a change needs to be made. Opening the bowling with Razzaq is ridiculous.

7 of those runs came off misfields by the skip himself. 11 off 3 would have been alright, no?

 

[chui_kadoo]

Kenya batsmen seem to be comfortable out there.

How did NZ get them out for 69??

 

[AikAlif]

No, Gul always gets smashed with the new ball.

It's Kenya, not India. Yes, they're not looking bad but they don't look like they're about to smash anything.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Shoaib punched for 2. Doesnt seem threatning at all now

 

[Noman]

How in the world are we opening the bowling with Razzaq I will never get it??
IT it because he did well against sri lanka final 2009 T20..

 

[Sledger]

93mph still. Good stamina.

 

[Munna]

well watever most ppl critics of him .. but surely has always been a delightful sight to see shoaib bowling at his max pace

 

[hur rizvi]

149.3 kph

 

[grunge]

150 Again

 

[Theo_14]

Good line from Akhtar - concedes just 3 runs.

 

[ZAK]

31/0 in 7.

 

[chui_kadoo]

3 off the over. Still wicketless against the minnows

 

[AikAlif]

well left...

always love saying that

 

[Sledger]

It's Kenya, not India.

If you want an experiment in the short term, why bother doing it against Kenya? The second opening bowler is a problem yes, but Gul has not been the answer in the past.

 

[chui_kadoo]

better ball by Razzaq

 

[chui_kadoo]

extra bounce there for Razzaq

 

[ace4rmspace]

That one spat up from Razzaq. Venemous!!

 

[Sledger]

Abdul Thompson likes to see blood on the pitch.

 

[ZAK]

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq chipped for . Oh dear

 

[AikAlif]

If you want an experiment in the short term, why bother doing it against Kenya? The second opening bowler is a problem yes, but Gul has not been the answer in the past.

I'm not saying he is. I'm just missing Aamir.

 

[Theo_14]

Clever shot - chipped over the fielders for a 4.

 

[Sledger]

Four from waters. Nice flow of the bat.

 

[Pakipride19]

Didn't they watch the NZ game, gotta pitch it up to these guys, full and fast seemed to outdo most of them.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Oh god, this looks really bad, shot gone for four

 

[Sledger]

I'm not saying he is. I'm just missing Aamir.

Aren't we all.

 

[ace4rmspace]

Touch too straight, hit over the infield.

 

[chui_kadoo]

we should of played an extra seamer today.

 

[nads_rocks]

Need to bowl them out for 120-130 nothing more!

 

[rsk]

pie chucker -razzq

 

[a_k]

whats with Abdur Razak ???

 

[chui_kadoo]

36-0 after 8

 

[Sledger]

36/0 in 8.

 

[Fireworks11]

Kenya are doing well. Flat track. Our openers failed.

 

[AikAlif]

laddu bowling.

 

[Theo_14]

Pakistan need a wicket here - we cannot always rely on spinners and Kenyan batsmen looking comfortable out there.

 

[chui_kadoo]

very dissaponting start indeed by our bowlers against the minnows

 

[Sledger]

Leading wicket taker Ramiz is back. Should strike soon.

 

[Theo_14]

Nice delivery from Akhtar there - full of pace and full, need more of that.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Come on, we really need a wicket now. C'mon shoaib

 

[chui_kadoo]

really expected 3 wickets by now. Even Rameez is not happy

 

[hur rizvi]

147.4kz

 

[12cavalry]

I need a wicket asap

 

[Munna]

cmon start taking wickets now!
