guys.. didn't watch the last game.

can someone tell me how duminy got the man of the match award?

 

[Levity]

I hope our retards go second this time. I'd like our bowling heroes to have first go.

 

[Newton_fan]

Shoaib Akhtar on air: "I am very good.. very happy as usual! Everyone seems to be very concerned about my body, except me. I try to bowl smartly, bowl many dot balls, and bowl balls that get people out since I am not a containing bowler." Wow, he's said everything there! "Did I not cross 150 kph last night? I have been bowling very fast for 18 years now. Shortening the run-up has helped me conserve energy and become more complete as a bowler. I was bowling 95-96 mph in England. My pace is there, I haven't lost touch."

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

shoaiby cheetah i wish he had shorten his runup earlier too but the old runup was a quite a sight

 

[CrIcKet_is_LiFe]

My pace is there, I haven't lost touch." - Shoaib Akhtar. He s a champ!!!!!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

He said that himself as well. He said that if he had done that 10 years ago he would have had 400 like Wasim Akram

 

[cricket_fever]

have patience...afridi will provide you with mango juice from now on

or niswaar

 

[AZ]

chalo chalo shabash sab Bismillah parlo!

 

[ZAK]

shoaiby cheetah i wish he had shorten his runup earlier too but the old runup was a quite a sight

Well if he had shortened his run up then the whole of the cricketing world would've been deprived of seeing one of the most exhilarating sights in Cricket.

Einstein Was not a God, Inshallah Afridi will prove him wrong.

 

[AZ]

Sajid sends in a factoid which I haven't been able to verify: "Abu Dhabi's real name is Abu Zahbi becose in Arabic there is no DHA."



DHA!!!!!

 

[farsiddiqui]

Good to know. What are your thoughts on Newton?

 

[CricketBuff]

He said that himself as well. He said that if he had done that 10 years ago he would have had 400 like Wasim Akram

Bob Woolmer had advised him to shorten his run-up many years ago, however Shoaib's bloated ego rejected that idea. And now the fool realizes that was a big mistake!!!

 

[Newton_fan]

Teams Anthem

Sajid sends in a factoid which I haven't been able to verify: "Abu Dhabi's real name is Abu Zahbi becose in Arabic there is no DHA."



DHA!!!!!

Sajid needs to work on his Arabic!

 

[AZ]

I think Shebby doesn't really mean it, he is not that 'I have regrets' kind of guy.

 

[mastermind_quad]

so same team ...one good thing is now no player can complain they did get only one chance...

 

[Newton_fan]

Good to know. What are your thoughts on Newton?

I am not the one who thinks after a apple fall on the head.

 

[insaftak]

lol at people clapping and whistling during moment of silence. )

 

[ballack13]

1 min silence game about to start

 

[akafen]

Disaster team!!!!

 

[Newton_fan]

And the Match starts.

 

[akafen]

This series is actually the worst possible preparation for South Africa. Pakistan hand out victories so how would you never know if you played well.

 

[NJamal]

Players are out there on the park

 

[jasimisbest2]

Pakistan will INSHALLAH win today.

Cricinfo is full of rubbish, Pakistan players o one thing bad they hav it on the main front page for weeks, the ODI agaisnt England and Sydney test both have been cleared of any wrong doing, Cricinfo and other newspapers around the world didnt even bother highlighting the issue...

it just goes to show Pakistan has so many haterd and enemies who are working around the clock to defame PAkistan...

BUT BUT!!!

PHIR ME DIL HAIN PAKISTANI AND WILL ALWAYS SHOUT... PAKISTAN ZINDABAAAAD!!!


Come on Pak Team.... Win this match!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

i just typed it up lmfao

Good at least you know what he will do now....

LOL

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Sajid sends in a factoid which I haven't been able to verify: "Abu Dhabi's real name is Abu Zahbi becose in Arabic there is no DHA." Mohammad replies: "@ Sajid, there's not "Z" in Arabic either, its "Abu Dabi" with an accent, hard to explain in Roman Arabic though." Roman Arabic? Boy, you learn something new everyday! Naveed: "With all due respect to Sajid, its the opposite. There is no ZHA in Arabic and therefore the real name is Abu Dhabi, However, in Pakistan people calls it Abu Zhabi becasue there is ZHA in Urdu." Ok, we have had views, counterviews and interjections. So now the topic is closed!

) One of the most RANDOM things I've ever read on Cricinfo

 

[akafen]

Imran aka 2 4s and out Farhat and Shahzaib Hasan out in hte middle

 

[iRfaN_LA]

do or die for Shahzaib !

 

[Sledger]

On a retarded scale of 1-10 how is Farhat's shot to get out going to be today?

 

[Shayan_Sohail]

Well if he had shortened his run up then the whole of the cricketing world would've been deprived of seeing one of the most exhilarating sights in Cricket.

I agree that runup was part of what got me interested in cricket and i have been a strong supporter of it but maybe after 2004 he should have shortened it.

Anyways i am hoping the airplane will take off today several times

 

[WNC]

The averages of our openers are so heartening

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

OK Shahzaib...you're free now.I've finally removed the black magic off you.
Now SCORE!

 

[NJamal]

Left alone by Shahzaib

 

[hashbb]

Well Left

 

[ads101]

so same team ...one good thing is now no player can complain they did get only one chance...

none of these batsmen have only got one chance.

While farhat has only played 4 T20 matches, what country in their right mind would persist with a guy who is just averaging 8 in this format over 4 matches?

 

[akafen]

whats with the stuffed animals. God knows if pakistan do well there will cotton everywhere

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What special openers we have for T20

One who averages 12 and the other a super 8!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

dot ball for first ball.

 

[srh]

OMG. Shahzaib Hasan has an average of 12 and Imran Farhat has an average of 8 in T20 internationals.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shoaib, Kamran Akmal, Imran nazir need to be in this team.

ShahZaib, Hafeez, Misbah need to be dropped... they are not made for this format...
