Pakistan v Sri Lanka | 5th ODI | Abu Dhabi | 23/11/11 | Pakistan Innings

[imshally81]

i sense a collapse

U r senseless

 

[Justcrazy]

YK is just pathetic as ODI player.

 

[RehanG]

Why was Russel asking Waqar to apologize?

Waqar laughed it off. Was right before the Hafeez wicket.

cuz arnold said its not gonna turn and it turned a bit.. so he said apologize so waqar said u said that not me and it did not even turned

 

[junoonis]

Thanks god russell is gone out of the box..

 

[Anwar_194]

they will screw the RR to go close to 7

 

[Justcrazy]

Required RR 4.70
already with these two tuk tuk olgers.

 

[Asif321]

Tired of seeing Younis frm last 10 years

 

[liaqat]

hafeez is a let down

 

[attock]

We playing test match cricket

 

[Superman1]

Younis Khan must not be included in our ODI team. We have too many slow starters.

 

[Justcrazy]

They are absolutely shamelesss, wasting so many balls and putting pressure on others.

 

[Badsha]

This is really boring..

 

[iemjaved]

Smart Operator is back

 

[liaqat]

zahafeeq plays the ball to the fielder to often, and then gets out

 

[nads_rocks]

malinga will have maiden no.3 this over.

Bring in Afridi to being Malinga into place!

 

[sam]

Danny calling Rameez Ramneez

 

[Justcrazy]

This is so selfish , pathetic.

 

[imshally81]

:44

 

[nads_rocks]

they will screw the RR to go close to 7

then all hopes will be on Umar Akmal and boom boom and all hell will break loose if they give away their wicket!

 

[Badsha]

The "thak" from the bat.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two will take the RR to 7

 

[Asif321]

shotttt shafiq

 

[liaqat]

pak want this match to becoe a thriller,
first we need to raise the runrate then we will drop some wickets and then allow boom boom to finish it,

 

[qamar84]

that was a lovely shot

 

[liaqat]

maalinga maalinga

 

[sam]

Sangakarra appealing shamelessly

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get 3 - 4 singles every over .........

 

[nads_rocks]

Misbah has told Younis Khan that u can score runs but when I come at the crease then u have to stop scoring!

Misbah hates it when we try to stay ahead of the Reqd RR

 

[iemjaved]

shafiq have a lot better technique than farhat.

 

[Badsha]

So much for mohsin khan saying we've made sure everyone plays for the "team". It is clear shafiq is trying to get a big score to be in consideration for the starting eleven.

I don't blame Shafiq though. In this system that's the only way to survive.

 

[liaqat]

myk shud take a risk today and start hitting evey ball, any runs of his bat quick wud be a bonus,

 

[Asif321]

shafiq cool as spice

 

[nads_rocks]

31 runs in 10 overs is pathetic!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

YK has been playing for such a long time, but this idiot has not learned anything, continues to waste ball and laugh like a fool.

agree

 

[sam]

Cricinfo: "Younis and Shafiq together now, the scorers can go for a nice cup of coffee now." Make that a double latte, Hanif, since Misbah is due in next.

Dnt forget chewing gum too!

 

[liaqat]

cric info. hahaha

[Badsha]

Poor Umar Akmal and Afridi will have to take the burden of all of them

 

[attock]

Negative batting

 

[liaqat]

why wasnt that a wide?

 

[cricfan4ever]

we definitely can't afford asad, yk, and misbah in the line up at the same time...the target today is only 219 but anything over 250, no way these 3 can be in the same line up...YK must make way for a more aggressive batsman :ahmed

 

[Asif321]

tiny babe needs to duck every now and then

 

[Badsha]

Younis Khan is a great player, why are you guys mad ?

 

[iemjaved]

I don't mind slow approach as long as they win it..

 

[Gabbar Singh]

'The biggest risk in life is not to take a risk'. Someone should tell YK this. Can't always rely on your amazing bowling lineup to bail the batsmen out. They need to step up.

 

[Justcrazy]

Why the Hell they cannot find boundaries? why are they sooo timid that too against an average attack.

 

[imshally81]

 

[liaqat]

wide

 

[Badsha]

But I agree. Umar Akmal should be in place of Younis. I think for our current ODI team he's not required.

Ahmed Shehzad should open with Hafeez.

 

[anakwalajinn]

salaam awaam

so back from lecture and made me some dinner and ready for action

what's happening here?

 

[liaqat]

scoring against the spinners seems to be easier

 

[Justcrazy]

This is just pathetic stuff , poor batting by all means , just looking like chickens.

 

[nads_rocks]

England are going to destroy us if we keep playing like this and believe me we will be chasing an average of 270+ against them!

We can forget about us posting in excess of 280 if we bat first!

 

[liaqat]

myk will sweep the spinners all day,
dont worry ppl
4

 

[imshally81]

:444

 

[Justcrazy]

How can this team beat better teams??????

 

[Warfare]

Thats better.

 

[Badsha]

I'm going to make myself some kawaa. Nice aggresive shot from Shafiq but I'm not that excited. I want to see him rotate the strike.

 

[attock]

4

 

[liaqat]

great batting myk

using ur feet.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Shot!!

 

[nads_rocks]

Why the Hell they cannot find boundaries? why are they sooo timid that too against an average attack.

When ever Pakistan bat, the boundaries get further and further away from them and we automatically hit exactly where a fielder is placed.

No gaps are present when we bat as our players are blind barring Afridi and Akmal of course!

 

[liaqat]

great batting myk

using ur feet.

sos that was asad,,i got excited

 

[anakwalajinn]

lol that was a 'esque shot

 

[Shayan]

Hopefully I won't jinx him, but what an opportunity this is for Asad Shafiq to make so many PPers dreams' come true and get Farhat out of the XI.

 

[qamar84]

agression on that shot by :asad for four

 

[Badsha]

This team is just dying for Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal to come in at number 3 a long with a batsman who can easily rotate the strike like Hammad Azam.

 

[nads_rocks]

salaam awaam

so back from lecture and made me some dinner and ready for action

what's happening here?

Younis Khan and Shafiq batting together, Hafeez got out. Misbah to come in next. U can predict the rest.

 

[imshally81]

e

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan selectors need to have serious talk with Misbah and YK. They are seniors and should understand this approach is not going to get them anywhere, that is what Indian selectors did and kicked out Dravid, Laxman and Ganguly from ODI team, and look where they are now. Pakistan needs to make that hard decision.

 

[liaqat]

fernando seems the danger man today, with his extra pace and bounce,

 

[attock]

Wide by fernando

 

[anakwalajinn]

lol chill out guys. they are playing according to situation... + the balls are istill new. decent start. pressure is on SL

 

[Anwar_194]

what the hell.....Mithun and fernando....hahhaha

 

[Warfare]

lol that was a 'esque shot

Yaar bhai, camra man tau kia hogia hai? Pinky is nowhere to be seen.

 

[NeVerMind]

first four from Asad earned him very high praise from cricinfo:

Malinga to Asad Shafiq, FOUR, banged away, boy what a sumtupous stroke! Shafiq gets a ball back of a length outside off, he gets the front foot out and laces it square. For a brief instant he looked like Ponting there.

Saw him live in the Uk and knew he would be a class act...

 

[Badsha]

Rameez on about bollywood

 

[Justcrazy]

Misbah has to play like a captain , fearless.

 

[velu]

Pak can lose only to themselves in this game.
Expect Malinga to do fielding duties till 35th over.
