Pakistan v Warriors | CT Warm-up | Benoni | 20/9/09

[Boi]

About one hour to go now.

Looks like Shahid Afridi will be captaining today.
Lets see if Pakistan can make it 2 out of 2.

 

[hasanb]

Will Mohammed Aamer be playing in this one or is he still suffering from 'wrong-shoeitis'

 

[Juggernaut]

Who'll play at number 3?

It is a warm up so maybe give Fawad a chance. We all know what Afridi can do up the order anyway so I'd love to see Fawad at 3.

, id bet 10 pound on it, wether he is the right choice is a different matter.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

how long to go for the match to get started?

 

[Juggernaut]

how long to go for the match to get started?

45 minutes

 

[IAJ]

Well I hope Pakistan field first if they win the toss. Chasing under lights will be a challenge when the real matches start and this will be a good practise as the Warriors did beat Kiwis the other day.

 

[IAJ]

BTW Eid Mubarak to all of the brothers

 

[ace_allrounder]

I wonder if Cricinfo will mess up again today.

I enjoyed day before yesterday's match mainly because of the goofs Cricinfo made

 

[sehban]

any news guyz??? on the toss or anything... cricinfo havent updated anything yet

 

[Zaka]

Hope Pakistan Wins Today and Keeps The Winning Streak In The CT Insallah

 

[hashman]

Not sure whether Cricinfo will have the ball by ball for this match. Im not sure whether they had it for the previous Warriors game either.

 

[Salman]

Hope Pakistan Wins Today and Keeps The Winning Streak In The CT Insallah

I avoid reading too much into warm up matches, just hope the players are put through their paces..

 

[Extreme Pace]

It won't be ball by ball, its only going to be updated after a few overs.

 

[adarsh_bang]

wont it be ball by ball ?? its a pity

 

[sehban]

Warriors 2/0 1.3

 

[Extreme Pace]

^^ Any link ?

 

[sehban]

chasing under lights wont be that easy...no matter how easy the team look. I still remember wc2003

 

[sehban]

[sehban]

rana into the attack
29/0 6.5

 

[sehban]

31/0 8 overs

 

[sehban]

Pak should look to keep them around 230 mark becuz anything more than that might be tough to chase although i expect spinners to come and cause havoc

 

[sehban]

38/0 9.2 ... nice solid start by the warriors

 

[sehban]

Pak actually won the toss ... Interesting decision to field and i think so the right one also since they better get used to chasing under the lights which in south africa is never easy

 

[sehban]

42/0 12 overs

 

[sehban]

50/0 13

Warriors- 54/0 after 13.3

 

[Boi]

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are struggling against West Indies. 90-3 after 22.3 overs. They are chasing 202.

 

[Juggernaut]

Run Rate isn't amazing from the Warriors but they haven't lost a wicket.

We need a break through.

 

[Boi]

Saeed Ajmal brought on.

 

[Extreme Pace]

hmm...i guess we shouldn't take WI lightly.

 

[Boi]

58-0 after 15 overs.

Solid start from the Warriors.
Pakistan need a wicket here.

 

[sehban]

71-0 17 overs....

 

[sehban]

75/0 18.... this is starting to look a dangerous partnership...
Pak needs a breakthrough

 

[JIbranG]

damn! they r raping pak bowlers ....
Aamir !!! Wake UP ,,,, :aamir

 

[umarf76]

has asif not joined the Pak team yet? Why is he not playing?

 

[cricket47]

75/0 18.... this is starting to look a dangerous partnership...
Pak needs a breakthrough

Am i the only one who is sorta liking the way the game is going? cz common we all know more then our bowling we need batting practice under lights, and if we end up chasing a good total it will be good in the long run for the tournament rather thn chasing 200 only? (as long as the bowlers dont lose their confidence by going for few runs today tht is)

 

[haroonrasheed320]

two batsmen faced 58 + 33 balls i.e. 91 means 15 overs & they are saying its 9 overs whats the reality

 

[sehban]

afridi strikes... 79/1 19 overs

 

[Da Best]

Wicket!!! Afridi!!!

 

[JIbranG]

has asif not joined the Pak team yet? Why is he not playing?

not sure if he reached south africa via london ...bt sure he is not gonna play till Saturday's BIg Game....Pak VS India

 

[PB]

so its who provides the breakthroughs...

 

[Juggernaut]

Afridi picks up the wicket!

Misbah caught it. Slip catch I think?

I'd have prefered it to have been Kreusch but its a breakthrough nonetheless.

 

[PB]

Afridi pick up the wicket!

Misbah caught it. Slip catch I think?

Yepp...you thought right...

 

[Da Best]

Afridi pick up the wicket!

Misbah caught it. Slip catch I think?

Most likely slip catch either way, he usually does his fielding within the 30 yard circle.

 

[Da Best]

81/1 after 20

 

[sehban]

81/1 20 overs....

 

[Da Best]

Guys, is the first CT game tomorrow ?

 

[sehban]

88/1 21 overs

 

[PB]

Guys, is the first CT game tomorrow ?

The first game is on the 22nd.

 

[Juggernaut]

Guys, is the first CT game tomorrow ?

Its on the 22nd.

By the way, Ajmal seems like he's getting plundered.

 

[JIbranG]

[Wassixpakistani]

Sad to see the commentary coverage isn't as good as it was in the Sl one .

 

[IAJ]

Much better to follow the match here:

http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/livematch?mid=23090#Now

 

[PB]

1st Innings
WAR 115/1 in 26 Overs
Current Run rate:4.42

 

[sehban]

Afridi smacked for a six... spinners being rather expensive which is quite unexpected

115-1 26

 

[IAJ]

Sad to see the commentary coverage isn't as good as it was in the Sl one .

Well cricinfo doesn't have commentary for India-New Zealand so it is naive to think they would have it for Pak-Warriors.

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Where you following this match guys ? Mine is stuck on 81/1 ;/ on Crapinfo .

 

[PB]

Shoaib Malik into the attack.

 

[Juggernaut]

Its been decent stuff from Pakistan.

But we need a few wickets.

On paper the bowling figures don't look too bad.

 

[Wassixpakistani]
