[Juggernaut]

go easy brother... you wouldn't be able to bear the embarrassment and the pain in case india beat pak...

just in case.. you know ???

Well said adarsh.

For some reason their are too many loudmouths about at the moment.

We're have all the sane Pak and Ind fans gone?

 

[ahsan17]

If it helps,

in practice matches for WC 2007, Pakistan won both games and you guys know what happened.

in practice matches for T20 WC 2009, Pakistan lost both games and you guys know what happened.

The signs are not very good.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Yeah I'm so depressed.

I mean it always works that way doesn't it.

 

[Juggernaut]

Just a general observation but has anybody noticed how many useless threads crop in the cricket forum during a Pakistan game?

 

[mindless slogging]

Just come back. Looks like and are getting good practise. Now to use the PPlay wisely........

 

[Ummer Khan]

freedom of speech mate. what may sound useless to you may not be useless to others.

 

[ahsan17]

I was not serious guys. LOL

Just something to notice.

perhaps they're right here but abstaining from posting at the moment because they're too disappointed lookin ay the quality of the other post(er)s


but most of the posters dont mean what they write... eh tho jazba sar pe sawaar hae ji .. buss

Aint that the truth

 

[Muzy]

looks like whatever miandad did with misbah and malik worked they both seem to be in good batting form

 

[IAJ]

did you watch yousuf bat that you consider him out of sort. i dont ever remember him being out of form or not timing the ball well. its only a matter of time before he clicks.

I would still go with yousuf over imran N with malik opening.

Well apparantly you are a big fan of him right? But listen mate, We all know how good he is but at the moment he is not in form, the scores tell you that. List up all of his scores in Lanka (I know he scored a century there) and find the average and judge youself.
If you like a player that doesn't mean you can't critisize him.
That is the biggest problem in Pakistan set up. You play guys who are senior and on their reputation.

I want Yousuf to do well as I like his style of batting, besides I am pakistani and its in our teams interest that he performs well. But at the moment he is not in form and I wish him good luck.

 

[mindless slogging]

Just something to notice.

Look there is some sense in what you say, and I understand your concern against the team becoming complacent, but I don't think that should apply in a major tournament for Pakistan with our situation. We should be relishing the challenge.

Yeah but honestly some of the stuff I've read today on the forum from both sets of fans has been in poor taste really.

 

[sehban]

187/3 35.2

 

[adarsh_bang]

should be an easy victory for pak from here perhaps... i'm disappointed yet again that alam isn't tried... if you are not going to give him a chance in the warm ups !!! then when ???

too bad...

maybe the thinktank is too scared to experiment even in warmups...

 

[mindless slogging]

I know this is a bit early but am I right in suggesting the Aussies are through from our group(I know they lost today but they were experimenting )

 

[Juggernaut]

Every batsman is in some sort of batting form.

YK and Yousuf I'm not so worried about because they are our best two batsman overall.

Nazir has always been hit and miss so nothing surprising on his part.

I am a little bit dissapointed that Fawad hasn't had much of a chance to get some runs under his belt and thus some confidence.

 

[Muzy]

misbah nearing a half century

 

[zimmz]

Shoaib the new moon is sighted today and I guess he will grow in his game for next 14 days until he start diminishing again.

I have no great liking for yousuf. I just feel he is a better bet than nazir at the moment. quite honestly he has not looked all that out of sorts to me as he has to you and I have also watched a lot of cricket. averages are not everything.

i also like the idea of malik up the order and that can only be done by getting rid of nazir. akmal is batting well.

want to bet 10 quid with me that he will play against the WI and nazir will be dropped?

Looks like your rookies are getting a good work-out. Nayar and Mishra both staking a claim.

 

[adarsh_bang]

looks like whatever miandad did with misbah and malik worked they both seem to be in good batting form

looks like all they needed was support belief and backing ???? i doubt if the technique can drastically improve without much practise!!!

but tips do lead to massive improvement in short time durations

 

[sohaibsyed]

sucks cricinfo doenst have commentry for this

I am not sure the management has much confidence in Fawad at the moment. As much as we all like to go on and on about Alam, he has done nothing to justify his inclusion ahead of Malik, Misbah and MoYo. He got three chances in Sri Lanka when one of these three was dropped to accommodate him, but he just could not deliver. Fawad will warm the bench once again throughout the tournament, specially now that Malik and Misbah look to be back in form

 

[amjad_ali]

please post the scorecard link! cricinfo one sucks!

 

[WNC]

In the semi finals...maybe somewhere near the end of the innings, hell, maybe he'll be tossed the ball to roll over his arm!

[Nazir_ Rules]

PAK 198/3 in 37.4 Overs
Current Run rate:5.26| Required Run rate:5.18
To win: PAK needs 64 run(s) in 12.2 over(s)

 

[WNC]

Misbah's getting near his 50 as well....I wonder what the pitches are like.....

 

[WNC]

200 up. Been pretty smooth so far!

 

[mindless slogging]

200 is up, 200/3 after 38 and the big hitters may not even get to bat.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

4 by misbah

 

[sehban]

misbah with a boundary now 205/3 38.2

 

[WNC]

Misbah gets to his 50 with a four! Well played

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

and he brings up his half century in style.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

50 for Misbah. He sure loves these conditions.

 

[mindless slogging]

50 up for with an impressive strike rate of 90+. Impressive

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

I think that now either one of Yousuf or Imran Nazir will miss out in the first match. I would drop Nazir.

 

[amjad_ali]

thanks for the link guys!

 

[adarsh_bang]

Looks like your rookies are getting a good work-out. Nayar and Mishra both staking a claim.

yup ... nayar scored 41 i'm glad... but will he get to play ??? maybe it'll be between him and yusuf pathan...

and i believe mishra has to play with harbhajan.. our seamers are too bad.. cant play 3 seamers methinks...

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

another 4 by misbah

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Another four for Misbah..

 

[sehban]

misbah with another 4

 

[WNC]

Another Four...let's hit the accelerator now

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

PAK 212/3 in 39.1 Overs
Current Run rate:5.41| Required Run rate:4.61
To win: PAK needs 50 run(s) in 10.5 over(s)

 

[mindless slogging]

India match is over by the way.Lost by 103 runs to the a team ranked 6th and lost to the Warriors.

 

[mindless slogging]

yup ... nayar scored 41 i'm glad... but will he get to play ??? maybe it'll be between him and yusuf pathan...

and i believe mishra has to play with harbhajan.. our seamers are too bad.. cant play 3 seamers methinks...

That guy has a technique to match but apparently people in India rate him(along with P.Kumar?!)

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

India Bowled out for 198!

 

[Muzy]

well played misbah

mami is in town MAlik+MIsbah

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Malik the Hero

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

Pakistan inching towards victory!

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

misbah out!

 

[Wassixpakistani]

Pakistan is the team to beat................almost

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

PAK 215/4 in 40.4 Overs
Current Run rate:5.29| Required Run rate:5.03
To win: PAK needs 47 run(s) in 9.2 over(s)

 

[sehban]

misbah goes

 

[IAJ]

200 is up, 200/3 after 38 and the big hitters may not even get to bat.

I hope they can bat sensibly like this when even chasing scores above 300. They are 215/3 after 40.3 overs and still have big hitters like lahore dynamite, Sahibzada and rana still to come and they can easily score 7-8 runs per over.

And while typing this Misbah is out.

 

[Muzy]

ive got a feeling all the malik haters will be out with their knives sharpened as ever before!!! main excuse will be IT WAS ONLY A PRACTICE MATCH lol

 

[WNC]

And Misbah bowled...Was looking to him to finish this off. but oh well, time for Boom Boom!

 

[SAM'S]

Umer Akmal should be strolling in

 

[sehban]

whoever came hits a four

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

4 runs!

 

[adarsh_bang]

has alam come in atleast now???

 

[tiger-pathan]

india lost to NZ

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

5 more runs?

 

[Muzy]

akmal jnr in lets see if he can bat with tasting the rainbow

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

oh Umer and Shoiab both hit a four!

 

[sehban]

umar akmal with a four

 

[Syndrome]
