Butt Sahib

 

[PlanetPakistan]

good start by Vaas.,..right on target

 

[Oxy]

Great shot by BUTT!!!!

4 to start off with!!!

 

[pak4life]

have to make use of the powerplays

 

[purplehaze]

Great shot! 4 runs ... Pak 4/0

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Great shot by Salman...thats the first boundary/runs of the PAK innings

 

[pak4life]

lightning outfielf

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single to Butt


Now Nazir is on strike

 

[darkmoon459]

butt starts with a boundry.

 

[Oxy]

Butt nearly gets caught out by a slightly slower one - hit it on the up!

Single

5-0

 

[hellopak]

I think batting first is good in 20/20. Time will tell but in my opinion SL missed a trick by not batting first.

On papers Pakistan weakest link is bowling not batting if you look at the batting line up. And SL strength is also their batting so they will use their strength against Pakistan weakness.

 

[Oxy]

Nazir off the mark - single

6-0

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Some swing for Vaas as Nazir gets a thick inside edge for a single

 

[Afridi_Fan]

The ball is coming onto the bat very nicely

 

[Oxy]

Butt getting onto the front foot early. A sign of intent?

 

[Oxy]

7-0 off 1 over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

One more single to Butt Sahib

 

[sagar]

What's a good score on this pitch guys?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Dilhara Fernando to share the new ball

 

[purplehaze]

Over 1.0, Pak 7/0

I don't see any reason why Afridi shouldn't come at one down. Great pitch to bat on

 

[PlanetPakistan]

7/0 after 1 over

S Butt 6 of 5 balls

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Fernando to bowl from the other end

 

[sagar]

Wow Butt is on fire 6 off 5 balls.

 

[Oxy]

Theres hardly anyone in the crowd - yet a spectator holds up play!!!

 

[purplehaze]

What's a good score on this pitch guys?

Too early to predict, but 180-210 looks to be a good range.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

full toss straight to the fielder

 

[dirk diggler]

must ensure we exploit the powerplay bcoz SL certainly will be

 

[Oxy]

Solid looking drive by the Butt-ster...straight to a fielder

 

[Oxy]

No ball - and a single.

Free Hit!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No Ball


Free hit coming up

 

[sagar]

Lawson has said 230 would be a perfect score or even 200 + is a good score.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2 to butt on free hit

 

[Oxy]

2 runs off the free hit -

 

[dirk diggler]

ive made my mind up BUtt is a waste of space

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Well left Mr Test Player of the century

 

[iZeeshan]

Come on Butt, play quick today! Interesting team selection, no Fawad or Arafat?

 

[Oxy]

Wide should have been called - but wasnt.

10-0 off 1.3

 

[PlanetPakistan]

that looked wide to me.

 

[Oxy]

Leg bye

Hafeez to face last 2 balls

 

[Afridi_Fan]

and he misses yet again on the leg stump

 

[asifp]

butt sahab can he even play on the leg side , besides a flick.

that was a wide

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Salman should have done better with that

 

[iZeeshan]

Would it be in our best interests if Butt got out?

Btw, Afridi should come in next.

Anything over 210 should be good.

 

[asifp]

its been exposed Butt cant play on the leg side

 

[dirk diggler]

shot!!!!!!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

666666666666666666666


Nazir Pa ji keep it going

 

[Oxy]

SIXER by Nazir!!

17-0

 

[purplehaze]

Great shot by Nazir, it's MAXIMUM!

 

[iZeeshan]

SIX! 7 runs off 2 balls. YAY!

Oh man I hate school, I could have been watching this! Its amazing how there wasn't a single Pak game on the weekend!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

thats a 6 from Imran

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Miss times the drive

2 overs gone 17/0

 

[12thMan]

what a shot by Nazir
17-0

 

[asifp]

what a shot , shabba

 

[Oxy]

Mistimed by Nazir - should have been battered through the covers for 4.

Butt is causing concern - 3 or 4 leg side balls should have been punished

 

[dirk diggler]

Nazir's already sussed out that Butt aint gonna be lighting fireworks

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Solid start!

 

[asifp]

Well Nazir is showing good sensible intent so far.

Butt well the less said the better

 

[sagar]

If Nazir can stay for 10 overs then Pakistan will make 200+ for sure.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Miss field and they take 2

Highest opening partnership for Pakistan in the tournament

 

[Oxy]

Misfield - Butt gets 2 (to the leg!!!)

19-0 off 2.1

 

[asifp]

Butt is costing us too much.

 

[iZeeshan]

Butt is really not for this game. Hit out or get out Mr. VC!

 

[asifp]

omg butt actually hit a ball on the leg side

 

[Oxy]

Squared drive for 2 by Butt

21-0

 

[Afridi_Fan]

2 more to Butt

Nice wrist work

 

[pak4life]

butt looks a nervous wreck

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Man he is finding the fielders an indication he is out of form

 

[Oxy]

Butt finding the fielder every time - his timing has been OK.

 

[iZeeshan]

2 more to Butt. Pick up the pace, brah!

 

[dirk diggler]

Butt has a canny knack of finding the fielder, almost an art

 

[asifp]

all butt is doing is creating pressure on Nazir and everyone that is going to come after him. First 6 overs you need 60 ! on this wicket

 

[Oxy]

Another mistimed shot down leg. Sanath would have hit them for 5 sixes!!

 

[sagar]

Butt should be fine if he keeps taking 2 runs off every ball he plays.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn once again missed on the leg stump

Please Vaas bhai leg stump per mut kerwao bachey ku

 

[from_da_lost_dim3nsion]

buttttttttttt !! *** !

 

[asifp]

he has not an aggressive bone in his body.

 

[dirk diggler]

oh dear oh dear

 

[Oxy]

Nazir OUT!

22-1
