Pakistan v Somerset | Practice 50 Over Game | Taunton | 2nd Sep 2010

[IAJ]

What big names apart from Trescotick and Pollard are missing today?

 

[iHammad]

another single to Alam

 

[IAJ]

haha 87/3, the aussies would have been nervous, and the score moves to 88/3.

The commentators impressed by all the singles mixed by boundaries this pair is producing.

 

[iHammad]

quick single

 

[iHammad]

Alam 24*

Shahzaib 35*

 

[IAJ]

Hasan: keeping one end safe. Interesting.

 

[iHammad]

why can't we play test matches like this?!

 

[iHammad]

wide

 

[iHammad]

90/3

 

[z2_daredevil]

haha 87/3, the aussies would have been nervous, and the score moves to 88/3.

The commentators impressed by all the singles mixed by boundaries this pair is producing.

im really impressed as well cuz its very unlike Pakistan

 

[iHammad]

91/3

20 ovs

 

[JellyBro]

Last 5 ovs 30/0 RR 6.00

doesn't get any better than this when the chips are down

+ = win

 

[z2_daredevil]

with fawad alam our fielding will improve as well !!

 

[Ansari]

They are muslim, it's mandatory to fast for an adult.

Not if they are travellers traveling more than 78 km and are not staying in a place for 15 days.

 

[z2_daredevil]

Not if they are travellers traveling more than 78 km and are not staying in a place for 15 days.

and anywyas they r cricketers they cant fast and play its obviously guna affect thier performance they can just make up for the missed fast later !

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

50 runs partnership in good time.

 

[saajidrox]

rotating the strike very well

 

[rhussain33]

They are muslim, it's mandatory to fast for an adult.

Yeah, but you have permit not to if your travelling and working like these guys are, their work is not the 9-5 in the office, but athletic work which requires intake of fluids else you are causing harm to your self. Im sure they have got the OK from a Molvi.

 

[Fazz]

rotating the strike very well

its fawad his always played like this!! suited for tests

 

[Ansari]

and anywyas they r cricketers they cant fast and play its obviously guna affect thier performance they can just make up for the missed fast later !

That won't be a valid excuse since such a leeway is not mentioned in the sources. They will be big sinners for ignoring their fasts if they are healthy and are not travelling. With such a pathetic excuse every Muslim who is working can make up his fasts later.

 

[Prince_Pathan]

the two lads are doing a great job so far they both have one thing in common

 

[Poison]

Lots of maulana's here on PP

 

[saajidrox]

100 /3

 

[Mian Hassan]

Fawad alam is proving what Pakistan was missing in the Test....

 

[saajidrox]

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Fawad Alam is just class

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fawad alam is proving what Pakistan was missing in the Test....

So its just Fawad?

 

[bilz2k10]

Pakistan High Commissioner has said the players claim they are innocent and hurt by these allegations, from Sky Sports News

WHAT Bulls**t

 

[Mian Hassan]

he doesn't Average 40+ in every format for nothing!!! he is a 1 of a kind

 

[saajidrox]

Shahzaib Hasan 50 well played

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

This is a very good partnership - need to keep going for a little bit longer then Lala can do the damage

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Go to ch 501 - interview with afridi.

 

[bilz2k10]

51* shahzaib hasan!

 

[IAJ]

Fawad Alam is just class

You at the ground?

 

[LegendsXI]

50 to hasan

 

[Mian Hassan]

So its just Fawad?

Not just Fawad... But if you have fawad on 1 end and yousef. or Azhar ali or Umar Akmal on the other end... What a Partner ship... Fawad Knows how to rotate the strike and the other player can go for the boundaries without pressure

 

[hur rizvi]

50 for shahzaib

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Well done Shahzaib - would be nice if he can grab a ton here

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Shahzaib doing well against club-teams per usual.....

 

[saajidrox]

114/3 25 overs

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

You at the ground?

Nope - was just speaking generally

 

[rhussain33]

That won't be a valid excuse since such a leeway is not mentioned in the sources. They will be big sinners for ignoring their fasts if they are healthy and are not travelling. With such a pathetic excuse every Muslim who is working can make up his fasts later.

Why dont you try playing a 50 over cricket game for a living then, whilst your on a 16 hour fast, Rather then sitting on a comfy chair on cricinfo in a air conditioned office.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Is the cricinfo score up-to-date ?

 

[AZ]

good to see Fawad and Shahzaib doing well

Yousuf run out

I can imagine.

 

[Poison]

Shahzaib doing well against club-teams per usual.....

Bit harsh on Shahzaib, is he not meant to perform when he's selected?

 

[IAJ]

They should play like this till the 35th over at least and then really start playing even more positively.

If we don't throw it away we can get 280 here InshaAllah

 

[Qadeer]

I predict two golden ducks for shazaib in both T20

 

[saajidrox]

alam

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

They should play like this till the 35th over at least and then really start playing even more positively.

If we don't throw it away we can get 280 here InshaAllah

With Lala and Razzaq still to bat we can get more

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Bit harsh on Shahzaib, is he not meant to perform when he's selected?

Yes of course he is meant to peform, but against international teams also, not just against old-hasbeens and young-inexperianced khiladi....

 

[Qadeer]

Glad to see shahxaib bat well. Cuz personally I never thought of him as any good. (he had a bit of luck t20 cup last year though

 

[A.M.]

four to alam

 

[talha3]

commentators saying take batting powerplay. little do they know the real hitters to come afridi and razzaq

 

[Blitz]

Chunky playing very well

Fawad a victim! He's more qualified for the test matches then the ODI's.

Nashukri ka alam intehaa tak pohonch chuka hai

 

[Qadeer]

thanks guys...i rate Fawad very highly and hes not letting me down, I hope i dont jinx him

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

The shahid should break-out of his cage and come-out on the mission to destroy these amateurs after the next wicket falls.

 

[saajidrox]

hasan

 

[Poison]

Pakistan turning it on now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Abey score bhi tu saath saath update kertey raho.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Max (Kaneria) Waller getting hit all around the park by Hassan!

 

[DesiMD]

Nashukri ka alam intehaa tak pohonch chuka hai

I was actually being grateful... Even to a lame commentary as I said definitely better than nothing

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

135/3 from 28 overs

Shahzaib 66* (80)
Fawad 38* (55)

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Score: 135/3

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

2 runs to the hasan.

 

[Poison]

Shahzaib not exhibiting the skills I wish him to exhibit thus far.

 

[saajidrox]

139/3 29 overs

 

[talha3]

we've seen a different side from shahzaib today. not firing from the first ball. saw the wickets fall and has changed his game, building a partnership and now starting to fire.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

29 gone - 139/3
