[Salman]

Wide ball Ek run ka izafa.....

Afridi cleverly changing his pace here.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Another one for Lala

115/7

 

[Saj]

Afridi strikes again and so do I

 

[Salman]

In the Air, GONE..... Another catch by Hazeez...

 

[sagar]

Well Pakistani bowlers have doneit again.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Another one for Afridi! SKA take a bow you have done it again!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Tricky Question, who is going to be the Man of the Match?

1.Malik.

2.Younis.

3.Afridi.

 

[Islamabadi]

Finally... I can relax a little...i was going to have a heart attack earlier

 

[Salman]

We should do this by 50 runs...

 

[filosofee]

And another wicket! Yessssssssssssssss Afridi bhai and Hafeez

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Afridi :

4 Overs

18 Runs

3 Wickets

 

[PlanetPakistan]

3/18 in 4 overs!!

 

[Saj]

Now thats what you call a spell of bowling - great stuff Afridi

4 overs 3 for 18

 

[kablooee87]

who got out?

 

[sagar]

I have to admit that Afridi is a good bowler for 20/20 format. I am not too sure about his batting though.

 

[down4whatever]

if it aint with the bat, its with the ball.

 

[RumiNYC]

how come u guys are so fast ? are u guys sitting front of the tv and typing ?

 

[Saj]

Finally... I can relax a little...i was going to have a heart attack earlier

lol. My wife thinks I've gone nuts the way I've been dancing around

 

[Afridi_Fan]

72 off 28 required

 

[Saj]

how come u guys are so fast ? are u guys sitting front of the tv and typing ?

move over Cricinfo. PP rules

 

[Saj]

Big smiles from the Pak fielders. Looking chilled and happy

 

[lakha84]

i think cricinfo froze again

lol @ cricinfo it aint india vs pak and india losing its srilanka

 

[Salman]

Tanvir warming up again?

 

[Islamabadi]

lol. My wife thinks I've gone nuts the way I've been dancing around

People sitting around me at my college are probably thinking the same thing.

 

[immubhai]

mashallaah , allah rakhaai PP.net

 

[kablooee87]

move over Cricinfo. PP rules

it's true. I've been following the game on both sites and PP is miles ahead. The only reason I keep cricinfo open is because the match situation is nicely organized and summarized there. But for updates, here is way faster.

 

[kablooee87]

People sitting around me at my college are probably thinking the same thing.

same with people at work here...

 

[Saj]

finish this off. Run rate may be important in the final analysis

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Gul bowling FAST! real fast!
72 of 25 balls needed

 

[sagar]

it's true. I've been following the game on both sites and PP is miles ahead. The only reason I keep cricinfo open is because the match situation is nicely organized and summarized there. But for updates, here is way faster.

I second that.

 

[iafzal]

Who should be MoM for this game, So many to choose from:

Younis Khan 51 off 35 balls 145.71
Shoaib Malik 57 off 31 balls 183.87
Shahid Afridi 17 off 9 balls 188.88 and 3wkts for 18 runs in 4overs

It seems for me it has to be Afridi was bowling as puts the brake on the train we call SL batting

 

[Islamabadi]

it's true. I've been following the game on both sites and PP is miles ahead. The only reason I keep cricinfo open is because the match situation is nicely organized and summarized there. But for updates, here is way faster.

i agree...I'm doing the same thing

 

[RumiNYC]

no more exciting in this game...was wishin' for a nail biter

 

[kablooee87]

Gul bowling FAST! real fast!
72 of 25 balls needed

oh cmon!!!! You can't just say that and not tell us the speed. How cruel.

 

[swaziboy]

Rajit says pakistan are not carryingpassengers
wots he tring to suggest that pakistan used to carry passengers?
eh yousuf, razzaq anyone?

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Yeah as Saj said finish them off.. RR could be the big difference at the end !!

 

[dirk diggler]

gul is def to 'go to' man - calming influence

 

[W63L35]

lol. My wife thinks I've gone nuts the way I've been dancing around

.....she just realized that?? How long you have been married??

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Tricky Question, who is going to be the Man of the Match?

1.Malik.

2.Younis.

3.Afridi.

My vote: Afridi, because he truly changed the complexion of the game. Prior to his introduction, a massacre was going on.

BUT, it's a lot more common for a batsman to be recognized for this award, so in that case, Malik.

 

[Saj]

finish this off. Run rate may be important in the final analysis

especially if Sri Lanka beat Aussies and we lose to them

how about all of the above...this really was a team effort

 

[MCMLXXXII]

Same here.

Plus you get the added comedy of wrist slitters on PP commentary. Can't find that on cricinfo!

 

[kablooee87]

true...but cricinfo has its own quality. Nothing tops the subdued squirming from the Indians.

 

[iafzal]

hi,
I am Islamabadi too from F/6/1

 

[sagar]

I think Malik and YK should both share the MOM award. If it wasn't for them, Pakistan would not have scored these runs.

 

[Saj]

oh cmon!!!! You can't just say that and not tell us the speed. How cruel.

he was hitting middle 140kph. I noted 146 kph for one delivery

 

[kablooee87]

especially if Sri Lanka beat Aussies and we lose to them

as long as we beat Bang aren't we in? I figured it was simple: win 2 out fo 3 and go into semis.

EDIT: My bad, I guess you were talking about ranking within the top 2.

 

[Islamabadi]

hi,
I am Islamabadi too from F/6/1

I'm from I/8-1...living in New York

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

finish this off. Run rate may be important in the final analysis

I agree ... and to improve the Net Run Rate, let's not get them out. Let them play the full 20 overs, and score 3-4 runs an over here on.

OR ... am I mistakenly assuming how it works? If SL is bowled out in 18 overs, for the sake of NRR calculations, would they count 18 overs or 20? I think 20, but I'd be glad to hear a correction.

Thanks.

 

[RumiNYC]

yeah stop bragging....foaming comin out of you mouth dude..

 

[Saj]

as long as we beat Bang aren't we in? I figured it was simple: win 2 out fo 3 and go into semis.

nope if SL beat Aussies and BD, they will have 2 wins also, If Aussies beat us and BD and they lose to SL, they too will have 2 wins

 

[MCMLXXXII]

I say YK should get MOM. He set up the innings nicely and allowed us to reach a defendable total. Pakistan should not have lost from that score so the batting should get the award not Afridi's bowling.

 

[sagar]

I'm from I/8-1...living in New York

Me too from F/10-2.

 

[161]

especially if Sri Lanka beat Aussies and we lose to them

aussies already have a great net RR after demolishing bangladesh

+2.8 to be precise

i doubt we can demolish bangla by that much ..

only and aussie win over lanka will secure us ( or us winning against Ozzies - dare i say)

full 20 overs yar

 

[Gunner786]

i would name afridi man of the match
quick innings down the order and 3 match turning wickets

 

[iafzal]

We should try to get good RR differential here as it may be crucial for Semis

 

[W63L35]

as long as we beat Bang aren't we in? I figured it was simple: win 2 out fo 3 and go into semis.

EDIT: My bad, I guess you were talking about ranking within the top 2.

...yeh but what if one of the later match gets rained out???

 

[kablooee87]

nope if SL beat Aussies and BD, they will have 2 wins also, If Aussies beat us and BD and they lose to SL, they too will have 2 wins

thanks for that, I hadn't bothered to think it through.

 

[Saj]

MOM - Malik

Great batting and captaincy in my opinion

 

[pak4life]

the aussies must be watching wonder what the australians are making of tanveer

 

[RumiNYC]

nope if SL beat Aussies and BD, they will have 2 wins also, If Aussies beat us and BD and they lose to SL, they too will have 2 wins

beating bangla is that easy nowadays huh

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh cmon!!!! You can't just say that and not tell us the speed. How cruel.

average of about 139 KPH

 

[iafzal]

Me too from F/10-2.

Good to know some Islamabadi on PP

 

[kablooee87]

guys can I get a score update?

 

[filosofee]

Thank you Pakistan, you may be unpredictable but you are magnificent!

 

[kablooee87]

beating bangla is that easy nowadays huh

we were talking about scenarios...and this is a possible scenario. Nobody said it was easy.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

62 needed of 14 balls

 

[MCMLXXXII]

we were talking about scenarios...and this is a possible scenario. Nobody said it was easy.

Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Good to know some Islamabadi on PP

New type of discussion is taking prevail

 

[Islamabadi]

Good to know some Islamabadi on PP

[Amjid Javed]

[RumiNYC]

we were talking about scenarios...and this is a possible scenario. Nobody said it was easy.

[Amjid Javed]

[kablooee87]

Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard.
