Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 1st ODI | Karachi | 20/1/09 - Pak Inngs

[HuZi]

man zoor gone

 

[the Great Khan]

manzoor out after a great innings!!

 

[Oxy]

Butt has played a good innings, he should get out now....and afridi in next

If it means you will then go back to school after his 2 ball inngs, I agree...

 

[jusarrived]

why should anyone get out ? talk about player worshiping..both deserve a hundred here!

 

[asifp]

oh there you go.

It was better for us that the field was spread, singe and double win the game. Brining the field in means these guys might try to play arial shots

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Manzoor gone to Murali

Manzoor made 83

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Batting powerplay - they may as well go ***nuts***

 

[IronMan2009]

Awesome batting by Pakistani openers. Sri lanka is getting creamed.

 

[ItsMeK1]

who made this decision of opting powerplay3

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Good stuff from Manzoor. He gets out, but looks like they were going to attack every ball.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

So, powerplay 3 was taken, and we lost Manzoor the first ball...wah wah wah

 

[ItsMeK1]

cricinfo: Doc from South Africa: "What was all that about Pakistan being rusty and out of match practice? They've been brilliant all round!"\

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

its younis.

hopefully there is a mini-collapse.

 

[asifp]

So, powerplay 3 was taken, and we lost Manzoor the first ball...wah wah wah

it was useless to take it. Its not like you HAVE to take it.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Manzoor gone, was tryin to break Murliz face or sumtn

 

[Oxy]

why should anyone get out ? talk about player worshiping..both deserve a hundred here!

And it seems to have worked....now they will pray for another, and another, and another - until their man gets in...

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Manzoor played really well.

 

[Mohsin]

I'm sorry guys, but how do i get the PP commentary on?

 

[Mohsin]

its younis.

hopefully there is a mini-collapse.

Thats just stupid

 

[natalia]

Just send to finish things off )
Anyways, remember THAT match? 5th ODI vs South Africa?



It could happen again.

 

[Oxy]

its younis.

hopefully there is a mini-collapse.

You think they would trust your man to come 1 down ) )

 

[natalia]

Yeah same here ghosht, im hoping Pakistan collapse so the ox comes in to bat

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

look at the score.

The game is won.

You can unclench your buttocks - and, enjoy. Thats right, actually enjoy the game.

 

[ItsMeK1]

younis 444444444444444444444444

 

[IronMan2009]

Pakistan is real hungry. You could see that.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Since we are in powerplays, they need to be able to pretty much finish it here...

 

[bluffmasterv2]

i think sanath jayasuriya has retired guys.

End to a great career

 

[Oxy]

look at the score.

The game is won.

Afridi has that affect on you guys...

 

[Gunner786]

will younis let butt get his 100?

 

[Tupac]

Pakistan handled Mendis + Murali superbly today. Excellent all round game for them and they hammered Sri Lanka today. Let's see how they do tomorrow. This game is Pakistan's.

[the Great Khan]

i hear nazir will be selected in the next ODI!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi has that affect on you guys...

his agent reads this site.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just pray we win this match ASAP with minimal damage i.e. less wickets lost!

Hopefully these 2 can take them home InshahAllah

 

[ItsMeK1]

no ball by murali
lets c what butt can do

 

[IronMan2009]

Pakistan handled Mendis + Murali superbly today. Excellent all round game for them and they hammered Sri Lanka today. Let's see how they do tomorrow. This game is Pakistan's.

Srilankans are gunning for Mahela's head. He went through a rough patch similar to this in 2003 world cup.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

CHACHA is back!!!!

CHACHA CRICKET AAYA RE...........................

 

[the Great Khan]

Bring Back Nazir!!

 

[Hash]

look at the score.

The game is won.

You can unclench your buttocks - and, enjoy. Thats right, actually enjoy the game.

Nothing more enjoyable than a nice, easy, comfortable win for Pakistan.

If all kiddies want to see is 'attempted' sixes they should stick to tape ball street cricket.

 

[ItsMeK1]

butt 4 off murali on free hit ball
Nice shot

 

[Goldbrain]

no ball by murali
lets c what butt can do

[Deewana Mastana]

Salman cracks it for 4

 

[McBoom]

Bring Back Nazir!!

) )

 

[the Great Khan]

is jaya protecting Mendis??

 

[IronMan2009]

Waqar is needling Ranil about tiredness of Lankans. He has a valid point.

 

[ItsMeK1]

butt another 44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

)))

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Nothing more enjoyable than a nice, easy, comfortable win for Pakistan.

Of course.

Zimbabwe/Bangladesh last year was a pinnacle of cricket.

 

[ItsMeK1]

butt now need 9 out 27 runs

 

[the Great Khan]

lankans will regret whoring themselves to the indians!!...theyll be knackered!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Waqar with the beard looks quite different....Seems as if he's put on more wait since he was last seen on TV during the Pak v WI series in Abu Dhabi...

 

[ItsMeK1]

another four leg glance by buttt

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Another FOUR by Butt! Butt needs 5 for his century now!

 

[ItsMeK1]

younis 4 off murali
200 up

 

[IronMan2009]

You can't blame their cricket team though for the mistakes of their board.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

good innings by butt, especially considering he had about 5 ducks in the QED trophy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

People who are using TVN, has the stream stopped once again?

 

[the Great Khan]

hit me!!..lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

hit me!!..lol

DHISHUM DHISHUM! LOL

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak 203 for 1 after 42 overs

 

[Savak]

Any idea where are Mallinga, Fernando and Prasad? This Sri Lankan attack is certainly short on pace.

 

[Hash]

Of course.

and nothing more yawn inducing than the classic Afridi 5 ball innings.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anyone watching TVN facing problems..........????????! I thought mostly everyone was with TVN!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Any idea where are Mallinga, Fernando and Prasad? This Sri Lankan attack is certainly short on pace.

Malinga is playing domestic back in SL

 

[On_the_up]

Butt just one good hit away now

 

[TaZ]

i've been saying it for years on every thread on openers, Butt is the best opener in pak.

 

[ItsMeK1]

younis OUTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[On_the_up]

other thn the first 10 overs of the match, this has been a totally professional performance by Pakistan. Cricket is back in Pakistan

 

[On_the_up]

A dolly to mid on. time to bring in Afridi

 

[Mohsin]

Oh no Afridi isnt out there, the world is at an end!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

YK gone for 20

Soft dismissal

Is it going to be Boom Boom or the skipper or Misbah?

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi?

 

[the Great Khan]

cuptaan fabulous is out there...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kuptaan Saab walks out to join Butt
