Pakistan v Sri Lanka | T20 WC | Group F | Johannesburg | 17/9/07 | Pak Inns

[Oxy]

185 would be OK I guess - 14 off the last over???

 

[161]

you hold back Afridi for that long - what idiocy on part of Pak management

Afridi bowled by Malinga

afridi came in at the right time .. sending him after losing 3 quick wickets would have been suicidal.

malik and yk had to build before afridi was sent in.

 

[pak4life]

afridi definate to open or come at 3 next match

 

[Saj]

ok sir

never mind ok sir. Grow up and add something worthwhile to read.

If I have to delete one more of your posts, I'll ban you.

 

[purplehaze]

171, wow sounds like a good recovery from Pakistan.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Jay to bowl the final one

 

[W63L35]

this will be remembered as the over we lost the match

...no, count 19th and 20th in too!

...anything less than 200 is getable!

 

[Noman]

185 would be OK I guess - 14 off the last over???

misbah is the man..

 

[hellopak]

All those Morons who were asking for YK out so that Afridi could come in. You see the result.
It was YK and Malik sensible innings that Pakistna have atleast a decent total to bowl to SL.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2 to Misbah

 

[dirk diggler]

200 was on tha card until akmal came in

 

[Oxy]

2 runs by Kami - 5 balls left

Sanath bowling!

 

[161]

this is really poor cricket in the end by the Pakistani,, they havet score anything...

good bowling by lanka - both malinga and fernando are good death bowlers !

 

[Afridi_Fan]

6666666666666666666666666

[Noman]

[dirk diggler]

[Oxy]

[Salman]

Huge SIX toward midoff, Misbah 179-6....

 

[hellopak]

Can he hit atleast 3-4 sixes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MIG]

afridi came in at the right time .. sending him after losing 3 quick wickets would have been suicidal.

malik and yk had to build before afridi was sent in.

The only kind of match Afridi is useful for is a 20/20 !! Instead of hafeez or Salman or Nazir, Afridi could have been sent in to play without fear

 

[junaidmalik]

Guys cheer up! Remember we have Asif and Gul!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn single more

 

[Saj]

180 for 6

3 balls left.

190 would be good.

 

[Oxy]

180-6

3 balls left

 

[Salman]

180

3 balls to go...

 

[Noman]

oh no ,, akmal on the strike..

 

[dirk diggler]

wat did misbah do wrong to come in below akmal?

 

[Noman]

this is really bad batting by akmal

 

[Afridi_Fan]

**** they shud have got 3 there

 

[purplehaze]

Last 2 balls .... come on Pakistan ... 2 sixes would do it for you!!!!!

 

[Salman]

Misfield 2 runs taken....

 

[Oxy]

Mislfield - por running also.

182-6

2 balls left

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Last ball coming up

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Jayasuriya is gutsy! 3 overs for 46, and comes in to bowl the final over. Vow! We all can use such confidence!

 

[sagar]

Go Misbah

 

[purplehaze]

Pakistan finishes with SIXXXXX

 

[Oxy]

Pakistan finish on 189-6 off 20 overs

 

[Salman]

SIX...... 190 the target....

 

[Afridi_Fan]

66666666666666666666666

To finish

189 off 20

 

[Saj]

wow great straight six from Misbah

189 for 6

 

[Noman]

what a shot by misbah,, u are my love,,, love u...now we have to win just for misbah,

 

[Rob H]

Last ball 6 to make it 189/6 off 20 overs. A par score by Pakistan

 

[dirk diggler]

misbah finishes in style, if only he'd come in before piano keys akmal

 

[Gunner786]

misbah does the job required in the last over

 

[aliff]

shot!!!!!!!! huge six

 

[iZeeshan]

So 190 to win for the Lankans. Don't think its enough.

 

[Oxy]

Misbah : 16 off 6

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Why on the earth they sent Akmal ahead of Misbah, I cant understand

 

[purplehaze]

Sri Lanka needs 190 to win!

 

[sagar]

Misbah the 20/20 international specialist. Good going man.

 

[pak4life]

if only we didnt waste the first 4-5 overs

 

[Saj]

Jayasuriya is gutsy! 3 overs for 46, and comes in to bowl the final over. Vow! We all can use such confidence!

yes very gutsy - 4 overs for 64. The highest number of runs conceded in twenty/20 international history.

Lets hope his horror night continues

 

[ali110]

Holy crap, Jaya 4 overs cost 64 runs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

We need to take a bow to Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik and for finally touches we had Misbah

 

[Noman]

189 not that bad,,,,,,average performance by Pakistan,, poor batting from the openers,, poor running between the wickets,, and poor batting in the end.....but we still got 189runs..

 

[immubhai]

who hit the six on the last ball?

 

[iafzal]

One word Misssbah

He played likie Afridi made the best of his 6 deliveries he had to face.
great inning

 

[161]

well done .. that's a fighting target !

 

[hellopak]

I think it is very unfair with Misbah to bat him so down the order. He should bat before Akmal.

 

[sagar]

Maybe Misbah should come ine before Afridi. From the looks of it, he has been a better choice than Afridi up the order.

 

[junaidmalik]

chalo bacho, tasbehya shuru kardo! We can do it inshAllah!!!

 

[Oxy]

I still think we are 25-30 runs short.

Top order might have cost us the game. We await...

Thats all from me in the Comm Box - off to a Iftaari Party and they dont have Geo where Iam going..

Good Luck Pakistan!!

And guys - keep those blades away from your wrists...especially Noman!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

yes very gutsy - 4 overs for 64. The highest number of runs conceded in twenty/20 international history.

Lets hope his horror night continues

And just pray its not his night with the bat too

 

[purplehaze]

Sri lanka needs 190 off 120 balls ... looks like we have another fantastic match on our hands!

 

[iZeeshan]

SIXTY-FOUR of Jayasuria's 4! WOW!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

yesterday NewZealand won here defending 190, so why cant we?

 

[Hash]

189 not that bad,,,,,,average performance by Pakistan,, poor batting from the openers,, poor running between the wickets,, and poor batting in the end.....but we still got 189runs..

189 average? ummm, ok


189 is a very good total and it is going to take some getting for the Sri Lankans. If we get Jayasuriya early then it is game, set and match. But what a brilliant fighting performance by Pakistan there.

Malik, Younis and Misbah have shoved a few peoples words down their throats for sure!

 

[dirk diggler]

I think it is very unfair with Misbah to bat him so down the order. He should bat before Akmal.

Does Lawson hav any say in the batting order, he is only the coach after all 111

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

AMAZING performance by Pakistan. Wonderful. From 33/3, what a remarkable recovery. Hats off to Younis and Shoaib to have cushioned the earlier fall.

See that magic those single do ... they rotate the strike, put the fielders under pressure, keep the scoreboard ticking, and do not bog you down. Otherwise, just a few dot balls would force one to make a reckless mistake.

Great going. We certainly have a position of strength.

 

[Phuzz]

Great partnership by Younis and Malik, they really saved our ***** lol. I think its a decent total, hope Asif and Gul bowl well.

 

[tauseefm]

189 not that bad,,,,,,average performance by Pakistan,, poor batting from the openers,, poor running between the wickets,, and poor batting in the end.....but we still got 189runs..

well, malik and younis ran very well between the wickets.. don't u think?
