I thought I'd never see the day when they'd hit a four...

 

[Strike!]

We had to take that risk for runs didn't we??

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Lets hope now that hafeez doesnt get out, our opening partnership is getting lesser and lesser, last time it was 5.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice shot to open the inns!

[Sherazkhalid]

 

[Sledger]

Four to Hafeez now.

 

[pak4life]

[Sledger]

Good shot.

[iRfaN_LA]

[kaalakawaa]

Shahzad is always nervous when he plays against quality swing

I predict his demise by the end of this over

 

[Sherazkhalid]

[Sledger]

Wide for height now.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

2 wides. Mazakadakasasa is losing it.

Shoaib looks pissed about not playing today

Poor guy. Really did not deserve to get the phainty from Taylor if Kamran held on to the catch

 

[sada90]

pak doing good

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pak 15/0 after 3

Much better looking start

 

[RehanG]

Waqar has already warned Shahzad LAST MATCH not perfom = back to Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

That day the pakistani openers play without thinking too much on retaining their place in the team we will get aggressive starts.

Over the last years we have had poor openers who just played for keeping their place in the side, hence we rarely got any great start.

 

[saajidrox]

thats just total 15 overs of power play total

 

[Sledger]

wide..
