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

[mohd_mir]

Just a perfect opening match for PAK imo. we're being made to work for runs and build the innings. And more importantly, younus looks to be coming in good form.

 

[*sallu*]

Single to long on

 

[hazen_batti]

What is predicted score???

 

[Sledger]

This wicket is turning. Afridi will be dangerussss.

 

[sam]

Ramiz: That is how he operates on 40 now

On YK taking lots of singles and reaching 40

 

[*sallu*]

41 (54) with only 2 fours, easy peasy

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

129-3 in 28 overs.

 

[Watsupdoc]

whenever a batsman is playing.
out is always on the card

Trying to be smart eh? Well after all this is fun cricket

 

[AZ]

Russell & Raja.

oh God.

 

[sam]

Ramiz: That is how he operates on 40 now

On YK taking lots of singles and reaching 40

 

[talha3]

Younis can be a very valuable player in these middle overs if he gets set (for future games).

He's been doing this for years, just been a bit out of form recently.

 

[ace4rmspace]

good desperation from the fielder

he's a beautiful runner between the wkts

You gotta love Rambo, he does try bless him. But his artistic license should be ripped up and fed to the dogs.

 

[NJamal]

129/3 after 28 overs

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 129/3 after 28

 

[*sallu*]

Pak 129-3 | 28 overs

 

[sam]

Misbah being normal now.

Defended.

 

[Sledger]

He's been doing this for years, just been a bit out of form recently.

Not really. He's only had a few good patches in ODIs, never been consistent.

 

[*sallu*]

Misbah defends

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

very very good running.

 

[AZ]

good running!!!

 

[Sledger]

Great running by these old men!

 

[sam]

Ramiz: Misbah coming back ofr the second. He has got the legs.

 

[NJamal]

2 to Misbah

 

[*sallu*]

Very good running by Misbah

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Misbah moving his legs, defends, dot ball.

 

[Amjid Javed]

brilliant running by Misbah!

 

[Sledger]

Younis Khan has now become the highest scorer in Pak/Kenya ODIs.

What an achievement.. proudest moment of his life? Possibly.

 

[*sallu*]

Misbah shuffling all around

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Hafeez peaked too early before the world cup!!

I hope he bowls well today

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

reserve sweep for 2, tuk tuk with a motive.

 

[saajidrox]

Misbah reverse sweeping to much

 

[sam]

Another reverse sweep.

The scoop is not far away, I guess.

 

[pak4life]

younis doing his job to perfection shame the same could not be said for hafeez and shehzad!

 

[ace4rmspace]

Cute little dolly step and then the reverse sweep. Mishoo looks on a mission here.

 

[Shakil_pkcricket]

Great running by these old men!

great running by old MAN, YK is much younger dear.

 

[*sallu*]

Reverse sweep, misfielded for 2

 

[grunge]

why cant misbah get rid of that shot

 

[AZ]

Misbah playing very positively really.

dunno why ppl are complaining.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

sweep again for single.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bowler laughing at the fielder (

 

[MC]

I thought I would come back and see batsmen scoring 8/9 runs per over. Pretty disappointing stuff, considering we're only playing Kenya.

 

[Sledger]

Misbah loving the reverse sweep.

 

[Munna]

uncle with his reverse sweep
younis showing him the right direction

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

I am back, and what am I seeing?

The Guy from whom PPers were expecting 200 ) ahmed shehzad gone for 1 hilarious.

 

[*sallu*]

Swept fine for 1

 

[*sallu*]

Misbah inspired by Eoin Morgan, being innovative

 

[saajidrox]

One Kenyan bowler looks like a girl

 

[Sledger]

great running by old MAN, YK is much younger dear.

Not a big difference.

 

[NJamal]

135/3 after 29 overs

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

[*sallu*]

Down the ground for 1 more to Younis

[hussnainn]

Misbah playing with 100 SR... wow

 

[in_cutter]

Rameez Raja repeating the same sentence:

"Younis will keep doing that"

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 135/3 After 29 overs

 

[*sallu*]

Pak 134-3 | 29 overs

 

[Blitz]

Writing a 2000 word essay on my laptop.

[Atif]

[Looney]

A beautiful runner between the wickets.

125/3.

good desperation from the fielder

he's a beautiful runner between the wkts

Ramiz: Younis is a beautiful runner.

 

[hamzamunir]

Just a perfect opening match for PAK imo. we're being made to work for runs and build the innings. And more importantly, younus looks to be coming in good form.

It could also backfire imo. Coach will be thinking that we had to "fight" against Kenya, so how will we face up to big dogs? Also, i am sure of it that our openers are probably feeling a bit down, and most likely will be under lots of pressure in the next match. However, the only good thing i can say is that our middle order seems to have clicked.

 

[ace4rmspace]

I thought I would come back and see batsmen scoring 8/9 runs per over. Pretty disappointing stuff, considering we're only playing Kenya.

You are lucky you weren't here when we kicked off. There is a reason why you see no one else comaplaining!

 

[*sallu*]

Younis 1 more

 

[sam]

Ramiz: Umar Akmal to be thrown in between the two

 

[saajidrox]

Only 20 overs left now.what total will be needed

 

[Looney]

he has been extremely involved , Misbah ul Haq

 

[*sallu*]

1 more to Misbah to square leg

 

[Amjid Javed]

Misbah 19 off 19

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

Misbah 19(19) no complains he is being innovative and thats very good.

 

[*sallu*]

Dot ball
Yes jimmy yes jimmy

 

[Sledger]

They should take the PP a bit earlier today. Maybe around the 35th over. It is unlikely that Kenya will bowl superb consistent yorkers at the death so, even with the field back, they should go for plenty with Pak wickets in hand.

 

[Syed Ali Imran]

good Shot by YK!

 

[qaiser]

Misbah moving his legs, defends, dot ball.

Did you say that or it's a quote from Ramiz

 

[Atif]

Cut for 2 runs by YK.

 

[NJamal]

2 to Younis

 

[*sallu*]

Cut well beautifully for 2

 

[Blitz]

Treble the 30 over score?
