[Sledger]

109/3.

 

[USIND]

50 partnership.

 

[USIND]

109/3 after 28.

 

[iemjaved]

Rameez feels the match is lost already..

 

[chui_kadoo]

Mahela showing how poor Malik's 2 off 22 runs were. Shocking batting. Never seen anything like it.

 

[chui_kadoo]

pictures gone. Someone pulled out the plug

 

[USIND]

Pak need a wicket or it's getting so boring.

 

[Justcrazy]

We must appreciate the batting of these two here.... after all they have batted magnificently here....

 

[ads101]

hope we are not planning to choke them by bowling dots? lol

only strategy unfortunately. Pitch is too flat to properly bowl them out if they don't throw away their wickets. They know they don't have to play fast chasing a small total.

Wicket is hard to score runs (boundaries more than singles), so we could limit the runs. Strategy would have worked a lot better with 40 or so more runs though.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

111 again...will the wicket fall again?

 

[Sledger]

Missed the cut by miles.

 

[Fireworks11]

Really need a wicket.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ok We are not blind

 

[Justcrazy]

[lord boldemort]

Rameez feels the match is lost already..

Well he's the only one.

 

[Ambi]

Malik runs like a camel

 

[USIND]

113/3 after 29.

 

[iemjaved]

A wicket here can change things a bit..

 

[hur rizvi]

time to go for pace

 

[anakwalajinn]

Can you make that bigger? I can't seem to read what you've written.

 

[Hassan0987]

Malik back to bowl

 

[akhrot]

SL taking it easy, in no mood to do something stupid here

 

[iemjaved]

Malik hatrick

 

[USIND]

Sangakkara is such a decent player.

 

[Sherlock]

Malik is no longer a useful spinner. They might as well bring on YK.

 

[chui_kadoo]

pictures still not back yet

 

[anakwalajinn]

When is the final odi, this is a lost cause now

wednesday

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

Malik runs like a camel

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing is working now.....

 

[anakwalajinn]

Sangakkara is such a decent player.

then why don't u marry him? d issed gry issed: gry: (lol jk )

 

[Looney]

give Cheema an over :cheema

 

[Munna]

does anyone remember that match against srilanka in sharjah .. where razzaq took 5 wickets eventually while we were defending a small total of around 197 or something ... and Srilanka were on track 170 odd for one or two wickets down .. and then the magic happened and pakistan won?


those were the golden days... i dont know if that can happen again in pakistani cricket

 

[Sledger]

5 dots in a row from Shoaib Malik.. he's bowling and not batting btw.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

maiden over by sarak chaap aka street smart Malik

 

[Momo]

Must get Jaya out.
Must not get Sanga out.

 

[USIND]

113/3 after 30.

 

[Sledger]

SL need 88 from the last 20 overs. One more wicket soon and Pakistan can come back.. Angelo and the tail will struggle against the spin.

 

[chui_kadoo]

our batsmen should learn from these 2

 

[USIND]

then why don't u marry him? d issed gry issed: gry: (lol jk )

Because he's already married.

 

[Justcrazy]

where can pakistan steal a wicket now !!!

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

what is wrong with the DJ? playing trailers of bodyguard.....just heard some dialogues during the break.....those were not songs even....

 

[ads101]

good maiden over. Wow wasn't expecting that from

Now let's push the req run rate over 5.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Bad day at the office for both my teams so far

 

[Fireworks11]

If only our top order 'batted'.

 

[iemjaved]

where can pakistan steal a wicket now !!!

Obstructing a fielder

 

[pakcricketfan]

Most of our bowlers have been very economical today. But the target is just too small.

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah .... plz think out of box man.

 

[Afridiologist]

Get a wicket n push the rr above 5

 

[nads_rocks]

I still want to believe we can win this after being proved wrong last ODI when I thought Lankans will win when they were cruising up and UNTIL Afridi decided enough is enough.

So come on, we can win this.

 

[Asif321]

need a hat trick from malik lol

 

[lord boldemort]

Batting power play will once again decide who wins this match.

 

[anakwalajinn]

yaar it was looking good an hour agoo

 

[hur rizvi]

hopefully power-play will bring some wkts

 

[Ambi]

)

 

[Sledger]

SL easily milking the Prof. 5 off.

 

[anakwalajinn]

what is wrong with the DJ? playing trailers of bodyguard.....just heard some dialogues during the break.....those were not songs even....

maybe they r just having fun at youtube?

 

[pakbl10]

our batsmen should learn from these 2

lol, we all would probably be saying that Sanga is costing us the match by putting too much pressure on Jaya.

 

[Warfare]

This seems all but over.

Bring Gul back into the attack.

 

[Justcrazy]

A wicket here do wonders, will not be easy for a new man in

 

[hur rizvi]

Mahela ne AAj he form men ana tha issed:

 

[chui_kadoo]

SL just need 4 runs every over. Easy pickings

 

[akhrot]

need a lucky wicket nowww

 

[Fireworks11]

Malik's bowling well.

 

[ads101]

Most of our bowlers have been very economical today. But the target is just too small.

not really. We've got three doing their job, but two over 5 runs an over, and the other over 3 (and you have the feeling if we turn to him, that number will increase).

If Afridi starts firing, then it's game on in my opinion. We can choke them.

 

[USIND]

118/3 after 31.

 

[Warfare]

Theres no point bringing Malik back. They're easily milking the spin.

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

maybe they r just having fun at youtube?

btw thats sikandar sanam version they are playing...LOL!!!!

wow what a DJ ..take a bow!!!

 

[imshally81]

Match is slipping

 

[Looney]

bring on the pacers !

 

[Asif321]

Maaaalik

 

[Ambi]

Imagine englands performance on these pitches )

 

[Fireworks11]

Can't really fault the bowlers, it's the batters that deserve stick.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nothing is over till last run is scored

 

[akhrot]

what is Sarfraz shouting?

 

[Sledger]

Time to try pace?

 

[pakcricketfan]

not really. We've got three doing their job, but two over 5 runs an over, and the other over 3 (and you have the feeling if we turn to him, that number will increase).

If Afridi starts firing, then it's game on in my opinion. We can choke them.

Economical in general, not in the context of this match.
