Pakistan v Sri Lanka | World T20 | Final | Lords | 21/6/09 [Pak Inns]

[karachiite]

afridi v murali again

 

[Momo]

I don't understand the panic really. Why is everybody so tense guys?

It's a run a ball.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Afridi be careful

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

just senisble cricket is required

 

[mnoman15]

Come on Malik, show the stuff you are made of

 

[purplehaze]

Why isn't afridi playing his natural game? 30 off 14 balls cameo would seal the game

 

[saqeeb90]

they should play dil dil pakistan when they get a boundary not when new batsman comes.

 

[who_dares]

malik on

 

[Jedi Knight]

I don't understand the panic really. Why is everybody so tense guys?

It's a run a ball.

Exactly

 

[The Slogger]

Shoaib is also a good player of Murali

 

[Momo]

in all fairness .. shahzaib did his job .. gave Pakistan the platform to win it from here

Exactly.

 

[abcanada]

this is going to be a closeeeeeeee finish!!
making all of us nervous!!

 

[Lethal]

S.Malik off the mark.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Malik off with a single

 

[Jedi Knight]

Pak 65-2 off 10

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

65 off ten

 

[Sparhawk]

Probably best if we stopped sweeping murali

 

[Lethal]

65-2 after 10 overs.

74 runs needed off 60 balls. Hope they don't leave it too late.

 

[who_dares]

half way through

 

[saqeeb90]

Malik off with a single

do u mean "thuk thuk" from pakistan

 

[saeed-sohail]

murali is bowling beautifully here.........

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

slinger in

 

[Lethal]

Malinga back on.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Malinga is back

 

[karachiite]

dangerman malinga's back.

 

[KB]

I don't understand the panic really

We're Pakistanis. Or should that be Panikstanis

 

[Phuzz]

come on pakistan

 

[12thMan]

Pakistan has got Fawad Alam coming in at #8 so long batting
Pak 65-2 after 10 overs - need 74 from 60 balls @ 6.95
SL was 54-4

 

[who_dares]

malik aka moon takes the single again

 

[Inswinger]

All it takes is a strong partnership. No need to go crazy.

 

[Jedi Knight]

single to malik

 

[swaziboy]

half way through......this is where something has to give..
either afridi gets the better of malinga or malinga gets him
i think this will decide who gets their way

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

malik looking in better nick today

 

[Jedi Knight]

boomboom gets a single as well

 

[Momo]

We're Pakistanis. Or should that be Panikstanis

It's unnecessary, really.

 

[Phuzz]

pakistan should win this comfortably

 

[who_dares]

mailnga gone for a single again

 

[Jedi Knight]

lovely shot by malik, another single

 

[purplehaze]

71 off 57 balls... 8 wickets in hand

 

[karachiite]

Situation tailor made for Maliks style of batting

 

[Jedi Knight]

bouncer ducked by afridi

 

[Momo]

I fear Malinga has just strained his brain in that dive.

 

[who_dares]

good bouncer to

 

[Lethal]

Surely that was one for the over. Umpire didn't agree.

 

[karachiite]

pakistan should win this comfortably

They never do it comfortably

 

[Uzzy]

I don't understand the panic really. Why is everybody so tense guys?

It's a run a ball.

Because this is Pakistan we are talking about. They can make a small target look like a big deal.

 

[Jedi Knight]

vicious bouncer to afridi

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

what good bowling by slinger

 

[junaidmalik]

Can I kindly request if any anybody says anything like "we're going to win" please say INSHALLAH too!

 

[Lethal]

2 good bouncers from Malinga to Afridi.

 

[who_dares]

another 1 to i think its kiss time now

 

[karachiite]

Great bouncer by Malinga and well negotiated by Afridi. Doing well not to lose his head here.

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

good batting by both

 

[Inswinger]

Afridi is not spotting the ball yet. I hope he does not lose his cool.

 

[who_dares]

was mainga really asking for the chuma

 

[FM87]

pak need 70 off 54 balls

 

[Jedi Knight]

69-2 off 11 ovs

we need to get a march on, otherwise it could get tight at the end.

 

[Sparhawk]

Req rate starting to get up. How many overs does Malinga have now?

 

[Lethal]

69-2 after 11 overs.

I do hope they don't leave it too late otherwise there will be too much pressure on the other batsman.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

70 from 54.its getting tough now......panic is on the way

 

[karachiite]

4 off the over. Murali and Malinga have got 4 overs left out of 9

 

[who_dares]

match is getting interesting

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

jayasuria in to afridi

 

[swaziboy]

dfference is 16 odd.....so i think a few blows from afridi
and rrr should be on par with run a ball

 

[kasoo10]

Singles will not do, we need a boundry every over or 2s.

 

[Jedi Knight]

16 is the gap between runs and balls

70 runs off 54 balls

 

[Lethal]

Req rate starting to get up. How many overs does Malinga have now?

2

 

[mnoman15]

70 off 9 overs needed

 

[lalaji]

man this guy Malinga is just soo good....well done man

 

[karachiite]

Need to go after Jaya this over.

 

[FM87]

required rr has gone a little up, almost 8 per over now

 

[who_dares]

one bounce 2 malinga

 

[mnoman15]

Wickets in hand will be key inshAllah

 

[Jedi Knight]

Need a good over soon

 

[pak4life]

hope we dont end up doing a south africa here

 

[Jive Jive Pakistan]

malik jsut needs to rotate the strike

 

[The Slogger]

Pak have clearly made a plan to attack jayasuriya.

 

[lalaji]

this is the over where we can score...lets hope

 

[who_dares]

com on

 

[Lethal]

Jayasuriya back into the attack.

3 singles so far.
