Pakistan v Sri Lanka | CT Warm-up | Benoni | 18/9/09 | Pak Innings

[mindless slogging]

He didn't know how to that during SL series

He hardly got an opportunity in Sri Lanka.

 

[iHammad]

cmon Afridi!
BOOM them!

 

[Cover Drive]

And Albie still to come!!!

He is in now

 

[iHammad]

wide

 

[sali]

330 was on card if Rana, Gul, Ameer or Shoib had come in. Why Fawad?

 

[mindless slogging]

Malinga seems to have lost his discipline here. 3 wides and a no-ball

 

[iHammad]

4 runs off 3 balls in malingas current over

 

[Wassixpakistani]

And it's 50 for Malinga . Crappily bowled you walking noodle-head

 

[jalex382]

Can Afridi get to his fiffty. just a question. i am not trying to jinx him.

 

[iHammad]

8 balls to go in the innings

 

[Cover Drive]

He hardly got an opportunity in Sri Lanka.

Remember when U.Akmal and Alam were playing? He should have rotate the strike but didn't do it as you were suppose to do

 

[adarsh_bang]

48.4
Malinga to Shahid Afridi, no run, yorker dug out down the pitch

know what ?? this something for you afridi fans to celebrate... there were times the used to get bowled invariably to any yorker

 

[Juggernaut]

FOUR to Afridi

leg side flick.

Love that shot.

 

[WNC]

300 up. Afridi on 35

 

[iHammad]

48.5
Malinga to Shahid Afridi, FOUR, leg side, flicked away



300 up!!!!!

 

[adarsh_bang]

300 up

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Four by Afridi , Cmon a 50 is on the cards for ya

 

[pakcricketfan]

330 was on card if Rana, Gul, Ameer or Shoib had come in. Why Fawad?

I thought warm-up matches are meant to give some batting practice to batsmen and bowling practice to bowlers. Fawad has been selected for CT as a pure batsman, so it was a right decision to give him some batting practice.

 

[Cover Drive]

Can Afridi get to his fiffty. just a question. i am not trying to jinx him.

Insh ALLAH he will

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Afridi bhai 3 chikeee mardo please

 

[iHammad]

8 runs from that over

Pakistan RR 6.12
Last 5 ovs 43/1 RR 8.60

Malinga 8 overs 55 runs econ. 6.87 (1nb, 3w))

 

[mindless slogging]

Remember when U.Akmal and Alam were playing? He should have rotate the strike but didn't do it as you were suppose to do

1 innings when he was on bad form with his timing. Remember when Dhoni made 12 off 20 or so balls in T20 WC vs West Indies. Is he a bad player now?

 

[haroonrasheed320]

Poor Fawad Alam always comes late when there is no time

 

[Cover Drive]

Alam with a four!!!

 

[Kean0]

Damn, you guys update quicker than cricinfo and i know you lot get your info from cricinfo!

 

[iHammad]

49.1
Kulasekara to Fawad Alam, FOUR, creams one off the front foot, clears cover by a few meters

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Fawad joins the action

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Fawad joins the party!

 

[pakcricketfan]

49.1
Kulasekara to Fawad Alam, FOUR, creams one off the front foot, clears cover by a few meters

 

[adarsh_bang]

49.1
Kulasekara to Fawad Alam, FOUR, creams one off the front foot, clears cover by a few meters

selection dilemma's for younis

 

[Juggernaut]

Fawad Alam with a FOUR

 

[iHammad]

Imagine Malik and Sanga's faces right now!!!)

 

[Raz]

Somehow,I dont understand the logic of taking bat.Powerplay in the last 5 ovs of the innings..You are supposed to hit it around in the last 8-10 ovs..Before the introduction of Bat.Powerplay,we used to score around 90 runs in the last 10 ovs..even after the introduction of Bat.Powerplay,we still score 90-100 runs.So what is the difference.I think teams havent figured out yet when to take Bat.powerplay..Ideally,it should be taken in the middle ovs or when the ball is changed after 34 ovs..

I think much also does depend on the match situation itself, in terms of how many wickets have gone down, who is still to come with the bat. Most teams believe they can consolidate and keep wickets in hand until the last 10 overs and then hit out using the fielding restrictions.

Often what has happened is that batsmen have gotten out when the team least expected them to or a cluster of wickets fall quickly. That's when the plans go out of the window. Also, the batsmen in the team, who can be termed as consolidators are not the best batsmen to take advantage of the fielding restrictions even if they are in. Teams tend to wait until a big hitter is at the crease before opting to take the powerplay.

 

[Cover Drive]

Alam out?Yes he is

 

[iHammad]

[iHammad]

[mindless slogging]

Alam is out!!!!!!

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Goneeee.......Fawad

 

[Kray_jackson7]

Afridi on strike. Fawad should be higher up. hasnt got power to clear infield

 

[iHammad]

out!!!
well played bhai!

 

[Juggernaut]

And Fawad out. Rana should come in.

 

[ahmed16]

Imagine Malik and Sanga's faces right now!!!)

Faces that say "damn my team needs to chase this", the other says "damn, i didnt get a chance to bat on this pitch".

 

[amarmak]

lol....

mohammad asif in guys

cricinfo at its best

 

[pakcricketfan]

Alam out?

Yes.

49.2
Kulasekara to Fawad Alam, OUT, swings that across the line, high to square leg

 

[adarsh_bang]

goneeeeeeeee

 

[iHammad]

Malik or Naved?

 

[RumiNYC]

why they keep sending this shorty when only 5 more overs to go ? cmon...it doesnt make sense...rana should have been here instead of Fawad..

 

[Juggernaut]

out!!!
well played bhai!

Not really.

He didn't really get a chance to play well.

 

[Cover Drive]

Ahhh afrdi with a single

 

[Raz]

Afridi will be on strike, as I think they crossed.

 

[iHammad]

Why Ifthikar Anjum!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mindless slogging]

Just remembered Dilshan is playing. Should be a good contest for our bowlers :naved :aamir

 

[Cover Drive]

Why didthey send Rao? Why not Rana?

 

[Mohsin]

Rana gone for a golden unda!

You just itching to make a new thread, aint ya?! lol

I think a score of 310 will be good but not impossible to chase. Seems like a good pitch.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Delivery wasted , Rambo gone

 

[adarsh_bang]

Kulasekara to Naved-ul-Hasan, OUT, plays across the line, up goes the finger
Naved-ul-Hasan lbw b Kulasekara 0 (0m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[iHammad]

It was Rana naved and he is out first ball!!!

horrible crapinfo!!!

 

[Inswinger]

:Rana out

 

[Cover Drive]

It was Rana not Rao and Rana is out as well

 

[ahmed16]

Why Ifthikar Anjum!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gul over Malik, i know Malik is bad but that is just ludicrous.

 

[IMMY69]

afridi should not have taken the single that brought navid ul hasan onto strike

 

[iHammad]

gul is in
on strike

 

[adarsh_bang]

1 ball to go afridi on strike

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Ifthikar over Malik, i know Malik is bad but that is just ludicrous.

Rao once averaged 85. Malik cant count that high.

 

[Cover Drive]

:Rana out

Didn't leave for Juma yet?

 

[iHammad]

umar gul is in over Malik!!!!!!!!

 

[Mohsin]

Pakistan 306/8 (50.0 ov)

lala left the last ball.

 

[iHammad]

That shouldve been a wide!
Kill Harper!

 

[Kray_jackson7]

36* off 24. Afridis fine form continues!

 

[adarsh_bang]

36 in 24... not out.. well played vice captain

 

[ahmed16]

Rao once averaged 85. Malik cant count that high.

Oh yeah, but now thats not the case.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

I wanna blow that Harpy's brains out

 

[Cover Drive]

PK made 306

 

[Juggernaut]

306.

Should be enough.

Probably 10 -15 runs short.

 

[Inswinger]

Didn't leave for Juma yet?

Will be leaving in an hour. Time to shower. See you later, fellas.

 

[adarsh_bang]

That shouldve been a wide!
Kill Harper!

did you see it ??

 

[amarmak]

looks like srilanka is gonna coast to victory...

they'll have 10 batsman and one all rounder in their innings to do it.

 

[mindless slogging]

I predicted 310. Damn 4 runs short, if only Afridi played that last ball, may have got a 4

 

[Momo]

36* off 24. Afridis fine form continues!

Going from strength to strength, mashaAllah. And silencing scores of detractors along the way (not that he cares!).
