Afridi also available for selection again. I wonder who he will replace?

 

[Nauman]

Afridi also available for selection again. I wonder who he will replace?

Lots of open spaces, batsmen arent exactly setting the world up on fire.

 

[Pak_Attack]

i think he is set to open, zim won toss and put pakistan into bat

 

[Oxy]

Zimbabwe have won the toss and stuck Pakistan in to bat.

Pakistan leave out Azhar Mahmood and Mohammad Hafeez and in their place they have brought in Danish Kaneria and Shahid Afridi.

 

[Kamran]

there is hardly any grass on the pitch today

[snazir6]

Is there any links where we can watch game online?

 

[Raza Sohail]

I've never seen Inzi so dispiritied. He looks absolutely shattered. Makes your heart ache doesnt it. a sad, sad moment for all of us. Bob we loved you like our own family.

 

[JammydodgA]

[snazir6]

Cant watch online at skysports..any other links?

 

[Phuzz]

Maybe sopcast, but I dont think the quality is too great.

[Lara400]

I've never been so depressed before a PAK game.

Nothing but sadness fills my heart this afternoon for my beloved Pakistan.

 

[Phuzz]

I would love Ireland to go out, but I don't want to lose this game.

 

[Phuzz]

I've never been so depressed before a PAK game.

Nothing but sadness fills my heart this afternoon for my beloved Pakistan.

Me too.. Whats happened over the last week or so is just a nightmare.

 

[Kamran]

0-0 of the first over
good fielding saved runs

 

[moph5ao2]

[Kamran]

nazir gets a single and pakistan are away

 

[Lara400]

I hope for Nazir's sake he can prove a point in this game.

 

[Kamran]

2-0 2 overs gone

 

[Phuzz]

I hope for Nazir's sake he can prove a point in this game.

He might be able to prove a point, but I think this will be his last game for Pakistan too.

 

[Kamran]

akmal lucky there was almost caught at midwicket

 

[Phuzz]

I wish this was the pitch for the Ireland game. Boy do I still feel depressed about that. Anyway 6-0 now

 

[Kamran]

nice shot from nazir gets 4

 

[Kamran]

another 4 for nazir
16-0
3 overs

 

[Phuzz]

This pitch looks much easier than the last one, I expect us to make 300+.

 

[Uzzy]

Aamir Sohail making his views heard. Was wondering whether the WI v Zim game would have grass on the pitch.

 

[Kamran]

19-0
4overs

 

[Kamran]

akmal edged for 4

 

[lumber121]

guys where on the internet i can watch this game...
flippin ntl red button doesnt work..

 

[Lara400]

Yes you're right I think its the last we might see of Nazir. Not his fault for being pushed in the firing line at the last minute.

As this game goes on my depression only increases.

 

[Easa]

The thread seems very dead - where is everyone?

24/0

 

[MCMLXXXII]

Sopcast has the bangladesh SL game but not this one. Did anyone find this on sopcast?

 

[Easa]

25/0 (5)

Akmal ends the over by cover driving for one.

 

[Oxy]

The thread seems very dead - where is everyone?

24/0

I'll be honest - I dont have the desire to follow the game. I'm sure many feel that way.

I didnt want the game to go ahead when Bob died - since the news last night, more so.

 

[Phuzz]

25/0.. Irish supporters with a pakistan shirt lol

 

[Kamran]

nice shot for four from akmal

 

[Lara400]

The thread seems very dead - where is everyone?

24/0

I beg your pardon? that amounts to an insult.

I feel as though I have wasted the last hour or so on the thread!!

Like the depression wasn't bad enough!!

 

[Easa]

Fantastic cover drive by Akmal for 4.

30/0 (5.4)

 

[Phuzz]

I'll be honest - I dont have the desire to follow the game. I'm sure many feel that way.

I didnt want the game to go ahead when Bob died - since the news last night, more so.

I thought about it, but I guess the show must go on. I can understand why everyone is subdued. I feel pretty down watching it right now, but I hope we absoloutely destroy Zimbabwe.

 

[Lara400]

By the way I think the Indian Administrators have decided to mess our coverage up yet again.

If only you lot can see what a cool head I'm keeping at the moment!!

 

[Easa]

No offense Lara400, I just meant some of the more popular posters.

I'll be honest - I dont have the desire to follow the game. I'm sure many feel that way.

I didnt want the game to go ahead when Bob died - since the news last night, more so.

I'm only watching for Inzy and Bob - this is our tribute to them.

 

[ThaSiccSense]

Lovely drive by Akmal for 4, in the words of Ramiz - A classic!

 

[infamous9383]

[Phuzz]

akmal gone.

 

[Kamran]

akmal out caught behind

 

[Easa]

Ball jumping very awkwardly. And now Akmal gone, next ball, caught behind.

Chigumbara strikes.

 

[Phuzz]

I hope Afridi's in next.

 

[Easa]

31/1 (6.3)

 

[Kamran]

malik in at number 3

 

[Lara400]

We fight like warriors in moments of despair which no one dares to match.

I hope today we get a glimpse of that.

 

[Lara400]

Did I read that correctly Malik in at 3??

Takbeer!!

 

[Easa]

Malik in at number 3. Interesting move.

 

[Imy]

Kamran happy to get out he ran back poor guy does not want to be there

 

[SUPERSAMI]

Decent opening stand

 

[Kamran]

31-1
7 overs gone

 

[Easa]

Afridi scheduled in next.

 

[Lara400]

Afridi scheduled in next.

If thats the case I think we are running around like headless chickens.

Since when did he bat at 4? its either opening or at the end!!

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

 

[Easa]

Maiden over by Mpuriwa, 31/1 from 8.

 

[SUPERSAMI]

I want to see Afridi and Nazir go bezerk for what may be the last time.

 

[SameerM]

If Safraz's comments about match fixing is right then PAK will lose this game!

I my self hope Pak get a 450 in their 50 overs slot... ATLEAST have ONE good record in the WC!

 

[Karachi]

I guess mushy is running the show since Inzi doesn't even want to bat today.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

I am hoping since they 'playing for Bob' they will DEMOLISH the minnow.

 

[Lara400]

My prediction Pakistan all out for 168.
