[shahidafridi123]

Farhat moves to fifty with back to back fours

 

[adarsh_bang]

shafiq struggling a little bit here today isn't he?? and farhat 50, where's my brother hamza ...he must be gutted! :-D

 

[HamzaSaeen]

what the heck is doing? firmly believe Umar Amin should been sent instead of tuk.

 

[PB]

Shafiq sucks....Umar Akmal should have been there instead of Shafiq, he is a test player.

 

[Batman]

1/144 in 31

50 up for Farhat

here bro... definitely not gutted by sir farhat's 50, it is good that he is back in form, nothing personal against any player and shafiq is tuking like no tomorrow... arrgh!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will have a tough time selecting 3 fast bowlers

All looked good .......... Plus need to consider batting abilities as well.

 

[IAJ]

Shot Shafiq!

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Finally shafiq wakes ups

 

[Batman]

finaly a four from Shafiq after tuk tuk

 

[PB]

Let Farhat retire and have Amin come in. It'll give him a bit of exposure....

 

[Justcrazy]

Farhat
Hafeez
Jamshed
Misbah
Shafiq
Malik
Akmal
Asad
Junaid
Irfan
Ajmal

Batting lacks depth .......

 

[HamzaSaeen]

finally shafiq gets off the mark!

 

[shehzi]

can't be back its a warm up match

what if it wasnt warm up ... then ?

 

[PB]

Batting lacks depth .......

Bowling makes up for it

 

[WebGuru]

Sir Farhat Wagon Wheel:

<center>

</center>

 

[Justcrazy]

Farhat is a better choice than Jamshed on foreign tours.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

this game is ideal for sir farhat- chasing a low total he is batting at a strike rate of 70-odd

 

[PB]

Next Monday will be when we'll be excited with the Pakistani team, when theres pressure the match situation will be vice versa

 

[Justcrazy]

Bowling makes up for it

NO...... cannot go in a official match with such batting , that too with the kind of top order pakistan has.

 

[Professor]

Lol at people ripping into Shafiq's slow batting based on a warm up match where the Required RR is around 3. No surprise though most guys here are Afridi or Umer Akmal fans.

What do you want me to do, not my fault they didn't pick Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Ahmed Shahzad, Hammad Azam....

 

[HamzaSaeen]

ehsan adil sent in

He bats like that no matter what the situation.....

 

[Professor]

Good move to send Ehsan Adil, this will tell us a bit about his batting ability.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

gosh shafiq stop with the tuk already!

 

[Square Drive]

Umar Amin in. That's good.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[PB]

YES!! Umar Amin!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan require another 53 runs with 7 wickets and 17.0 overs remaining

 

[Square Drive]

ehsan adil sent in

LOL. Focus on the stream, not on Cricinfo.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

not sure if Umar Amin or Adil is in?

 

[uberkoen]

ehsan adil sent in

ummm what game are you watching?

 

[Square Drive]

Umar Amin is in, mere bhai.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

okay, so the classy left handed future star is in!

 

[Justcrazy]

Amin walks in

 

[HamzaSaeen]

ummm what game are you watching?

that was because cricinfo said that.

 

[adarsh_bang]

wasim just said amin is not an allrounder! some fans should realise

 

[PB]

Can't believe Shafiqs been in the team for 3 years...It still looks like hes on his debut every match...

 

[Justcrazy]

154 / 3

 

[HamzaSaeen]

wasim just said amin is not an allrounder! some fans should realise

most definitely not. can just chip in with 2-3 overs thats it.

 

[Friend786]

Last time we played SA in a warm up in 50 overs.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/wc2007/engine/match/247455.html

We know what followed after

afridi was also missing and we played that tournament after series in South Africa.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

first time watching umar amin... looks stylish!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

free hit!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

and what a waste of free hit

 

[Saurav]

so has Farhat cemented his spot in the XI

 

[WebGuru]

Another one gone lol

 

[PB]

first time watching umar amin... looks stylish!

...And that's where it stops

 

[uberkoen]

 

[PB]

Lol Shafiq

 

[HamzaSaeen]

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Misbah in the field.

 

[uberkoen]

Poor performance from Shafiq. Looked rather unsettled throughout even though he played 30-odd deliveries. Was actually expecting better from the lad.

 

[ads101]

Why send in Amin?

Send in Malik for goodness sake. Malik's gonna be playing in the actual match and he hasn't got a decent score yet. Not in England not in like 4 years I think .

Sure if Amin has the possibility of replacing Malik in the team, but I don't see that.

 

[uberkoen]

KAPTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!!!

 

[HamzaSaeen]

just last series almost everybody in the team was using boom boom gear- now its ihsan! new kit maker, ihsan?

 

[ads101]

Poor performance from Shafiq. Looked rather unsettled throughout even though he played 30-odd deliveries. Was actually expecting better from the lad.

It's the problem of expecting guys who haven't got a good international record to suddenly perform better than guys who have. Not saying Asad didn't deserve a chance, but he shouldn't have been playing over Umar.

 

[PB]

afridi was also missing and we played that tournament after series in South Africa.

Captains were both 35+, Both were Ul Haq's...

 

[hadi123]

We better not lose this

 

[HamzaSaeen]

 

[HamzaSaeen]

team kit looks exactly the same this time around as 2007 WC.

Amin looks better then Shafiq

 

[srh]

may be the choice is between Asad Shafiq and Umar Amin?

 

[WebGuru]

Misbah seems changed you know rotating the strike!!!

 

[PB]

Farhat
Jamshed
Hafeez
Misbah
Amin
Malik
Akmal

 

[WebGuru]

Required RR 3

We played and beat SA in our warm up match before the tourney in 2007 too (and we remember what happened afterward during the first game against the WI + lol)

Remember guys, dont get too happy/sad over a warm up game...they count for nothing

 

[WebGuru]

Nice shot Misbah!

[HamzaSaeen]

[shahidafridi123]

Remember Misbah said he was going to play aggressive from now on, this is a great start!
