Pakistan v Zimbabwe | Group A | WC 11 | Pallekele | 14/3/11 | Pakistan innings

[Fireworks11]

How many times does Ramiz use the word "operates"?

"Asad should learn from how YK operates"

 

[Gujra]

Ramiz not a good commentary operator

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Finish of Ray's over and then go after the remaining.

 

[saajidrox]

Shafiq going well hope does not get like out that Hafeez on 49

 

[pakcricketfan]

'Operates well within his walls'

) ) )

LOL...What? ) ) )

 

[Amjid Javed]

Need to finish the game off as quickly as possible to try and boost the net run rate!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

oh man the ball remained low.

 

[Khan88]

He scored a few centuries with boom boom bat, no?

That was the MB Sher bat in the NZ series and I believe he had his MB bat with a Boom Boom sticker on it but not till the ENG warm up match i think...the other century was the BANG warmup and i don't remember if he had the BB bat yet.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need to finish the game off as quickly as possible to try and boost the net run rate!

It doesn't matter, if we loose to Aus we be 4th, if we win we be 1st, NRR doesnt matter now.

 

[Munna]

oh look ... patriot burger guys in the crowd!

 

[JilaWatan]

arnold is no good either...so slow

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Missed out there.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Asad de ghuma ke :stumpy

 

[Sledger]

"Asad Shafiq zindabad."

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Good running moves to 49.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

And YK takes another single.

 

[AZ]

Pull thattttt!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It doesn't matter, if we loose to Aus we be 4th, if we win we be 1st, NRR doesnt matter now.

And the result of SL/NZ matters as well. NRR is not a factor now, unless we loose to Zim.

 

[JilaWatan]

shafiq on strike... on 49

 

[Abdullah22]

So sad to see Junaid on bench.

This should be posted in Pakistan dressing room. Hopefully the players in question will take it seriously.

 

[Munna]

i hated arnold in the first series he commentated ... came on neo sports in india's home series against sri lanka ..... seemed like he had a sore neck!

 

[Sledger]

Younis doesn't flatten you, keeps punching you and earning those solid points. He'll get you eventually, not by knockout but by solid technique.

WHAT?!! ) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

50 for Asad.

 

[farsiddiqui]

How do you like me now?!!!!

 

[amirfanforlife]

[saajidrox]

[Afridi_Fan]

[hur rizvi]

Great innings


Well played Asad shafiq

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

One good over needed in the next 5 to ease the tension

 

[the Great Khan]

oh look shafiq makes more runs than mr blonde burger boy!!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need to kick out Shahzad, we cannot have Hafeez, Shahzad, Kamran in one line up, we need some certainty in the line up.

 

[tallashk]

asad doing well..like I thought unlike some people who were having babies..lack of cricket knowledge on this forum astounds me at times!

very right. forum is full of emotional people who don't think and use their brains..

 

[Bhaijaan]

Aur isi ke saath Asad ne apna ardh shatak puura kiya. laajawaab ballebaazi )

 

[zulfiqar]

nrr will b important if nz lose too sl and v lose t aus. cuz then nz=pak in pts; nrr will decide 3 n 4 in grp A

 

[Sledger]

37(60) needed.

 

[Khan6575]

Great innings by Asad........................ he definitely played within his wall's.

 

[GOAT]

3rd Pakistani to get to 50 eh?

I guess Misbah + Younis + Umar = 2 people?

 

[Munna]

is pakistan the only elite team .. whose no player has made a century so far so far in this wc?

 

[Pak_Pace]

so that's Misbah, Umar and now Shafiq with debut WC fifties.

Nice.

 

[Khan88]

Well done son!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Quick single.

 

[AZ]

Cremer found his first fan :

[Gujra]

lol anyone saw when Asad raises his bat to dressing room was sitting and sipping a tea..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

126/3

 

[saajidrox]

Graeme creamer is the wannabe swann

 

[tallashk]

We need to kick out Shahzad, we cannot have Hafeez, Shahzad, Kamran in one line up, we need some certainty in the line up.

where is afridi and razzaq. did you forget about him... they are 2 other parttimers.. (although afridi has become a full time bowler since his success against minnows )..

 

[Dreamer]

For the people who saw the first innings, was there a marked improved by Kakmal?

 

[pakcricketfan]

Good WC debut for Asad.
Misbah also scored a fifty on his WC debut.

 

[Sledger]

They're right, this is a very nice action for a legspinner.

 

[saajidrox]

Cremer found his first fan :

Creamer not Cremer said by rameez

 

[Markhor]

Rambo is on fire !

 

[Afridi_Fan]

34 needed from 54.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 3/128 | 29 Overs | Need 34 runs to win from 54 balls | Asad 52*

3 off the over!

 

[Sledger]

For the people who saw the first innings, was there a marked improved by Kakmal?

Gilchristesque.

 

[Iqbilla]

One of the best innings so far, great paced chase by the lad soaked up all the pressure and delivered !!!!!

Worth more than 100 ODI centuries by a loser Indian !!!!!

 

[classic]

Lovely to see them rotating the strike ...we will reach this target with no drama now..

 

[Bhaijaan]

Now hit a few sixes

 

[Sledger]

Some Rawalpindi fans in the crowd! Respect.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Now thats not good by Asad.

I heard that too, sounded like a direct jibe at captaan sahib

 

[Extreme Pace]

For the people who saw the first innings, was there a marked improved by Kakmal?

He didn't drop anything today...but that doesn't mean anything he may have some decent matches now and then but he'll always keep missing chances.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Come on lads!

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Gilchristesque.

That is under-statement. :kami

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Some Rawalpindi fans in the crowd! Respect.

arafat

 

[Markhor]

Really liking Shafiq's calmness,steadiness and composure,unlike other rash,panic-mode batsmen we have when they are under pressure.

 

[Gujra]

Where does this come from?

 

[Munna]

asad shafiq .. 1986 mein karachi mein paida hue ... 2007 mein karachi whites se inho ne apne first class career ka aaghaaz kia .. :mib

 

[ace4rmspace]

For the people who saw the first innings, was there a marked improved by Kakmal?

Kaka wasn't doing too bad actually. Took two catches and even made a direct hit at the non strikers end. Still too early to call.

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

I don't know what's going on from here. Sat in my room at work, everyone else home, watching cricinfo and PP!
