Pakistan v West Indies | 2nd ODI | Abu Dhabi | 14/11/08 | Pak Innings

[sehban]

i think so pak will be happy to get even 240 at this stage

 

[Foozee]

I would be really pissed if the so called Beast doesnt atleast make 20-30 runs today

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Salam guys,
Slowish start here.

Younis's wicket was a massive blow

 

[Easa]

I think we'll end up with 300. It's just a feeling.

I've been mighty impressed with the Windian bowling.. they are fast, aggressive, and get plenty of out swing. I'm a tad bit jealous, actually.

for West Indies' sake

Disgraceful stuff from malik

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

) Nikita

But he is slow left arm so might destroy us.

Likewise

What I'm most jealous about is that they have faith in their young talents like Baker and Kemar who have hardly played any first class cricket

We used to be like that

[Muyazzim Khan]

Anyone remember Maliks first ton in 2002 vs WI at Sharjah? I do and in that match we were in a pretty similar scenario.

 

[DM]

Salam guys,
Slowish start here.

wsalam PlanetP

It certainly was.

I don't think the response should be to bat at a snail's pace either.

 

[Easa]

In all honesty, we have the firepower to score 100 runs or more of the last 10 overs so I won't be worried unless we lose another wicket in a hurry.

Come on Cheetah Malik :romeo

 

[Poison]

If we're 150-3, or 150-4 at the 35th over stage, there are no worries

 

[DM]

Truth be told, if i were coach and we lose early wickets, I'd tell the batsmen to go even more violently after the bowlers, with special treatment for whichever bowler had done most damage.

Choke him by the throat and kill him.

 

[Foozee]

Im sure those topless pics of Shane Watson would take your mind off things

ok, ill make sure to post topless pics of RAW too for ur viewing pleasure

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Banner in the crowd ripping into Taylor

 

[Foozee]

If we're 150-3, or 150-4 at the 35th over stage, there are no worries

itll be 151-5 after Afridi departs

 

[DM]

and ) @ Nikita

He had better be very careful, for someone in the stadium is present who is most averse to effemination.......most averse.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Were you not happy with your first response?

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

There are more dots here than in hindu wedding!

 

[Foozee]

Were you not happy with your first response?

wanted to make sure u reply

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

We still have a powerplay, the logical thing to do would be to save it for Afridi.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Spin slowing things down a bit - but these two are both good players of spin, and quick runners so there should be no excuse.

 

[Noman]

can anyone explain me why is Shoaib Akhtar not playing, is he still injure?

 

[Poison]

This game carries stark similarities to the Kitply game (didnt get 100 before 25th over, ended up with 300+)

 

[Inswinger]

These two need to bat for 20 more overs.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

can anyone explain me why is Shoaib Akhtar not playing, is he still injure?

Yes he had a claf injury for the last game, which i assume keeps him out again.

Dont worry, Roa the Boa is in.

 

[Momo]

I have a feeling 220 will be enough today.

 

[Easa]

[Ghoshtbuster]

Very respectable crowd in so far.

 

[Sparhawk]

oops!

 

[Oxy]

Shoaib Malik RUN OUT!!!

 

[Poison]

Looking like a silent change in momentum in the game right now. Crucial crucial moment.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

run out????

 

[Inswinger]

Oh man
That was the last thing we needed. It looks out

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Malik is run out!

 

[Sparhawk]

OUT

This is not good. I wonder if they'l hold Afridi back.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

What a DOOFUS!

 

[Sparhawk]

Does anyone else hear a kid shouting not out?

 

[Poison]

Looking like a silent change in momentum in the game right now. Crucial crucial moment.

That was a terrible misjudgment on my part.

 

[DM]

I have to go now, noooooooooooo






















thank God

 

[Momo]

Afridi will now break all chains and come out firing on all cylinders, touching the ground running, and doing sundry barbaric acts whilst on his way to the pitch.

 

[sehban]

88/4 pak will be lucky to get 220 now with the batting to come

 

[Poison]

Impending doom averted. Akmal is in.

 

[Momo]

See you in some time from another locality (Afridi would Inshaallah have blasted his way to a violent fifty by then).

 

[Sultan Yusuf]

He can't even run! Anyway well played!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Afridi will now break all chains and come out firing on all cylinders, touching the ground running, and doing sundry barbaric acts whilst on his way to the pitch.

He will be in nxt. Akmal in now.

 

[Foozee]

Its all upto Afridi now...

 

[Poison]

Perhaps we'll miss Alam.

 

[asifp]

*Alam* cough cough

well Afridi this will be your chance, take it.

my mind says he will get less than 10 runs, heart says a smashing 50

 

[sehban]

93/4 25 overs

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Inti on screen, or is that Akhtar?

Lulz, get it?

 

[DM]

Its all upto Afridi now...

) ) )

I love it how regardless of criticism of batting, those very critics make him the focus of our batting innings, quite a bizarre phenomenon. What an effect he has!!

Of course I COMPLETELY agree with it

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

I predict Misbah to get out playing the scoop shot into his face and then being caught at long off.

I'm neutral

that is too easy

 

[sehban]

hey anybody got any gud links all the links stopped working for me

 

[volcyz]

I predict Misbah to get out playing the scoop shot into his face and then being caught at long off.

LOL that's not possible by the laws of physics

 

[Sheikh]

It's imperative that we bat the entire 50 overs. If we do that we'll get up towards 225 and that's a score we can defend. If these two can go about unworried until the 40th, we can get upwards of 250. Misbah's the key; if he stays in he can do some serious damage later on.

 

[DM]

I'm neutral

I'm sadly not neutral, mainly out of fear

 

[infamous9383]

im bored with the early 90s style cricket

I still think 280+ is on here. :akmal

 

[Oxy]

Oh dear! A let of.

Misbah is a big-hitter yaar.

 

[Foozee]

I'm sadly not neutral, mainly out of fear

well he's goota fire with the bat, coz from the looks of it... his bowling is useless if its a low scoring game with the likes of Gayle, Chanderpaul in line up

 

[Oxy]

im bored with the early 90s style cricket

Yeah - it only won us the World Cup

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

39 off 73, Misbah needs to stay till the end otherwise it would have been a sluggish innings.

 

[lollol]

Hmm, i knew there had to be a run-out, missed that one.

Who is to blame? Malik or Misbah?

 

[Sparhawk]

39 off 73, Misbah needs to stay till the end otherwise it would have been a sluggish innings.

Cant blame him given the situation though. He knows we have a really long tail today so he has to be careful.

 

[Poison]

Misbah's becoming the anchor. Great news.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 116/4 - Misbah needs to bat till end here and get a Ton. Akmals in good form thankfully.. after these two were into Sohail Tanvir and the Tail!

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

The bad thing about Kamran playing a good innings here is that his keeping will be even worse!

Expect 2 or 3 drops.

 

[lollol]

Misbah gets 50, only 1 boundary

 

[Poison]

Classy 50 Misbah.
