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

[dirk diggler]

younis owes us a big innings

 

[TaZ]

Weve got such good openers

 

[iZeeshan]

kahah ge wo din when SL were a joke....Oh yeah... around 1983

Pardon?

 

[asifp]

I cant see one reaosn why Hafeez should not be playing over butt

 

[Oxy]

34 off 5 overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good running, and very good batting. Two boundaries and then rotating the strike. Here's hoping Hafeez lasts the whole innings

Pakistan 33/0 in 5 overs

 

[Noman]

Salman Butt shud only play in test and odi,,,he is a crap 20-20 player, Why cant he give strike to Nazir,,000====???

 

[Afridi_Fan]

5 gone 33/2

Butt being replaced by YK

 

[Oxy]

Pardon?

Remember those days when SL were crap...in 1983!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Four! Good stuff.

Is this a really flat deck, or is there something for the bowlers?

Some of Vaas deliveries swung but really nothing special

 

[Noman]

I cant see one reaosn why Hafeez should not be playing over butt

me too

 

[sagar]

Pakistan would make 150 by the looks of it.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

slow short ball, man this guy Fernando is impressisve

 

[Afridi_Fan]

another slower one a big swing and a miss by Hafeez

 

[Usman Chadda]

Play and a miss by Hafeez

Next ball, another wild slog by Hafeez. Missed both. Sri Lanka clearly on top here

 

[dirk diggler]

SL bowlers making us look like park players

 

[iZeeshan]

Remember those days when SL were crap...in 1983!

Thank you Oxy. God, we really need people like you around with fools like these

34/2 in 5 overs. Come on 25 runs in the next 3 overs.

 

[sagar]

So much for the 20/20 specialist Mr. Hafo

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Pinned Hafeez on Helmet of the bat

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hafeez hit on the helmet trying to sweep Fernando. Tings not happening for Pakistan in the first 6 overs

 

[Afridi_Fan]

No run

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Fernando really troubling M hafeez

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Can we make 150?

 

[tauseefm]

what a ball by fernendo

 

[dirk diggler]

SL playing like champions, hafeez totally done over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bowled him great yorker man

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

LMAO... haha what a disgrace

ahahah 4 swings and his misses.. and then bowled..


Oh god these guys are a joke ..

 

[Noman]

really ugly cricket,, Pakistani players are just looking to fare.. just try to watch the ball and be aggresive,,.. these cricket should be shown the way too death..

 

[Gunner786]

hafeez gone!
yorked

 

[Imy]

this is embarassing

 

[sagar]

Is M. Hafeez really a 20/20 specialist?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Malik in

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is ridiculous! Pakistan being owned here by Sri Lanka

I suggest rounding up the top three of our team and giving them a good, slid phainty when they reach Pakistan

 

[tauseefm]

Hafeez gave his wicket by himself.. there is nothing in the pitch its totally amazing bowling by SL.

they surly are playing like champs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Well this is not good folks...not good at all!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Fernando really troubling M hafeez

His trouble is over

 

[Gunner786]

keep afridi away from the pacers
keep him as low as possible
lol

 

[Noman]

I have no faith in Malik batting,,

 

[dirk diggler]

so lads, complete rethink on our T20 team then? friggin waste of timers

 

[the true passionist]

LMAO... haha what a disgrace

ahahah 4 swings and his misses.. and then bowled..


Oh god these guys are a joke ..

and you were the one who blaming Butt for playing the most sensible innings thus far.

 

[Imy]

these guys are getting out thought forget 150 they wont last 20 overs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

they surly are playing like champs

yeah credit to the sri Lankans they have been awesome

 

[sagar]

Well Now I guess Pakistan won't even make 100. Good going.

 

[161]

man the funniest thing about this is how seriously the PCB took this T20 tournament .. oh how sad it is ..

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh **** is this pwnage. 33/3 after 6 overs with a RR of 5.5? Dang.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Effing maiden! TBH none of those deliveries were hard to vdeal with, our Bradman-esque players make ordinary players look world class

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Maiden wicket

33/3 off 6 overs

we can make 110 if we kept on going like this

 

[12thMan]

nice stuff by Fernando there. a maiden wicket over

 

[Afridi_Fan]

keep afridi away from the pacers
keep him as low as possible
lol

LoLz

 

[Gunner786]

guess hafeez and nazir have realised there is a big difference between domestic 20/20 specialists and playing in a international 20/20.

but just sticks in every form of 20/20

 

[PlanetPakistan]

180 is a par score for mine

 

[Noman]

Pakistani team cant play International cricket,, pressure gets them out,, if this match was a practice match Pakistan wud have killed the Sri Lankas

 

[sagar]

"Fernando to Mohammad Hafeez, OUT, he's bowled him! Fernando fires in a fast yorker, Hafeez tries to play it on the leg side, falls over a touch, and hears the ball crash into the stumps, awesome over from Fernando, he's tied Hafeez down and sent him packing "

This is shameful.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

and you were the one who blaming Butt for playing the most sensible innings thus far.

Mate if you going to swing your bat 4 times you would atleast expect him to connect ONE.. he didnt even get bat on ball..

Bring back Hameed tell Butt to %$%$ off .. atleast Hameed has got power in his shots and dont look half dead after running a single ..

 

[iZeeshan]

I still think we can do this. Malik and Younis just have to show some responsibility, and Afridi has to play a blinder. Misbah is also there along with Akmal, and Tanvir can also bat.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Are we in durban or JoBurg?

Is it a 20/20 or a test match

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sri Lanka are wiping the floor with us here

Pakistan's run-rate right now a paltry 5.21

 

[dirk diggler]

btw, does the wanderers pitch favour batsmen? if so, can we sue

 

[Noman]

I really thing afridi shod open the inning, his mishit goes to six.

 

[iZeeshan]

Younis playing extremely slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sagar]

Now I wonder if Pakistan can even make 50?

 

[PlanetPakistan]

may be we should only look to get around 6 an over of Vaas and Fernando

 

[Afridi_Fan]

thanks God single to YK

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Single to Malik

 

[sagar]

Younis playing extremely slowly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That'a what he always does anyways.

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik takes a single next ball. Younis bhai back on strike.

 

[the true passionist]

It is extremely difficult to reach 180-190 from here, and is only a competitive score.

Malik has to play a captains innings here!

 

[Rob H]

Spuerb straight drive for 2 by Yunus

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Great short and 2 taken

we cant seem to hit the boundaries

 

[iZeeshan]

Need the boundaries...

 

[Zaad]

dnt worry guys

inshAllah 190+ !

afridi is gona do something special today !

i have a feeling !

 

[Noman]

Are we in durban or JoBurg?

Is it a 20/20 or a test match

I think Waim Akram and Imran is bowling in a lively Perth track.

 

[sagar]

Hello where is MoYo? God we need him now.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

7 gone 37/2


106 at this rate

 

[chuck]

This is a good batting surface. Pakistan needs to attack a bit more. Not easy with 3 wickets down.

 

[sagar]

dnt worry guys

inshAllah 190+ !

afridi is gona do something special today !

i have a feeling !

Wishful thinking.

 

[Usman Chadda]

guess hafeez and nazir have realised there is a big difference between domestic 20/20 specialists and playing in a international 20/20.

but just sticks in every form of 20/20

Only Nazir's dismissal was due to the quality of the delivery. That slower ball would have out-foxed most batsmen. Hafeez and Butt have been shocking\

Younis plays a near perfect straight drive, doesnt get a four. Tat shot deserved one. Seems its not our day

Pakistan 37/3 in 7 overs

Run-rate of 5.29

 

[pak4life]

wha a joke on the flatest pitch in SA

 

[iZeeshan]

And Younis dots the last ball .GRRRRRRRRRRREAT!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok now what the hell?how we play Malinga?
