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

[ShehryarK]

So here it is, Gentlemen...

The Clash of The Titans.​

The match this tournament has been waiting for.

The encounter we have all been crying out for.

 

[TaZ]

Zimbabwe have won the toss and will bat first

 

[The Slogger]

Let's do this boys.

Umar and Akhtar out. Asad and Wahab in.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So, that means Jr was not faking an injury after all.

 

[arsalan660]

No Ajmal Again

Wahab and Asad in
Shoaib and Umar out

 

[hamzie]

or maybe hes being disciplined

 

[arsalan660]

This Means they are not going to play Ajmal in WC

 

[The Slogger]

Ajmal should have been given a chance.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So, now what the bashers gonna say about Jr's injury? :umarakmal

 

[Digital]

30% chance of rain !

 

[The Slogger]

Now if I were Afridi, I will open with Razzaq and Gul

 

[Strike!]

Just get taylor out and the rest are surely to follow quickly.

 

[The Slogger]

So, now what the bashers gonna say about Jr's injury? :umarakmal

It still doesn't tell us if he has faked it or not. He can still whine to the doctor and say "ooh it still hurts, I don't think I'll play"

 

[Pakistani93]

Good to see Shafiq and Wahab playing but IMO Junaid should have been tried out in this match as well.

 

[Umerr]

Stupid team selection again A.Rehman is worse then Yardy and we are playing him over Ajmal. Joke

 

[farz88]

ugh Only 2 fast bowlers and no ajmal again. Should have dropped one of the openers too.

 

[taxzu]

Lets pray gul guldozes zimbabwe top order in his 1st spell

 

[farz88]

OH wow rameez raja LEGEND:

Rameez Raja's chat with Shahid Afridi is rather more entertaining. "If Kamran is keeping, why is he keeping," asked Rameez, quite brazenly, but the question was swatted out of the park in typical Afridi fashion. Apparently Kamran's realised what he's done wrong in the past, and those mistakes have been corrected.

 

[Turbokam512]

no junaid & Ajmal...

Good to see Shafique in..

Chigumbura looks very confident..

Afridi a bit nervous..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

It still doesn't tell us if he has faked it or not. He can still whine to the doctor and say "ooh it still hurts, I don't think I'll play"

 

[Leonidos]

So we have three TUK TUK in the middle order now.Should have played an extra bowler rather than asad.

 

[The Slogger]

This is a better way for Pakistan to test their chase, against a weaker side. If they chase it, their chasing confidence will go up immensely.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

[UTUBE]Az9ZDLOgPjs[/UTUBE]

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

we cant hope to go past semi finals with such a team even with shoaib and umar back, raiz and ajmal need to be in final 11

Rehman has done bull crap 2 wickets in 9 games , hafeez is better then him

 

[161]

So Kamran plays again ... this time I will blame the coach and captain if he drops the match again.

And what is Wahab doing in the starting 11 ?

The guy leaks runs .. if they are giving Shoaib a day off I would tried the new guy ... and if they think Wahab is actually better than Shoaib ...

 

[The Slogger]

 

[Afridi_Fan]

So who should have kept?

 

[jattafridi]

Go Pakistan

 

[hamzie]

Are covers back on

 

[The Slogger]

I would like to know where Navjot Singh Sidhu graduated from.

 

[Digital]

"Today is Chigumbura's Birthday, he must open the batting and make century after drop by Kamran Akmal for 0," writes a very cheeky Imran Panjwani.

 

[arsalan660]

Still didn't understand why no ajmal.

I think Rehman have Butt behind him

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Are covers back on

And why will you say that?

 

[SlowerBall]

Ajmal should be playing. I don't have a good feeling about this match.

 

[arsalan660]

Very Defensive Approach from Afridi

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Very Defensive Approach from Afridi

Ab kia ker diya us ney?

 

[farz88]

If we have to lose this match for the management to realize that they need to play Ajmal over rehman. Or drop 1 batsmen and play another fast bolwer then so be it. Because the current combination we are not going to with the cup

 

[Turbokam512]

Saqlain Mushtaq got a hatrick against Zimnbabwe in WC

 

[sharaf katawazi]

y is no ajmal.what the **** is this

 

[Afridi_Fan]

I just love the atmosphere of positive vibes in this thread. Keep'em coming.

 

[TaZ]

2.18pm Bad news! It's raining again in Pallekele and the covers are back on.

 

[IAJ]

To the posters who are worried about Ajmal; Just calm down. He will play in the quarters InshaAllah. We are just "hiding" him. (He might even play against the Aussies)

 

[midaz]

Its raining

 

[hamzie]

Its overcast condition.
as if not have a third seamer .. either akthar or junaid in place of rehman

 

[farz88]

To the posters who are worried about Ajmal; Just calm down. He will play in the quarters InshaAllah. We are just "hiding" him. (He might even play against the Aussies)

Fine hide him. But then play Junaid instead of Rehman.

 

[tahaqureshi]

Raining now. Covers on.

 

[hamzie]

And why will you say that?

Because they are back on i think

 

[The Slogger]

is it raining? lol

 

[ilovebouncers]

they should have played AJMAL..zim has no idea of his doosra or variations!..bad bad decision!

 

[Liverpool_Faizan]

its amazing to think that afridi and rameez raja played in a few games together.

 

[Dragon]

pakistan on chase? trouble

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Kool, its raining.

 

[Dragon]

Rain has just started

 

[Poison]

they should have played AJMAL..zim has no idea of his doosra or variations!..bad bad decision!

Zimbabwe has an army of off spinners.

 

[faizpak]

raining?

 

[arsalan660]

Afridi thinking If we change some strategy we will lose

 

[tahaqureshi]

I'm gonna enjoy watching the Bang v Ned match more than this rain interrupted match WITHOUT ajmal.

 

[PakPosheeda]

Man its always raining in SL. I'd hate for us to share a point with Zimbabwe.

 

[farz88]

Afridi thinking If we change some strategy we will lose

He looked worried after toss. I think scared of chasing.

 

[hamzie]

Covers coming back off.
yay

 

[arsalan660]

Covers removing

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

my wish for today .....

it stops raining
Asad makes hundred
Rehman goes for 120 /0

Pakistan wins

 

[The Slogger]

Covers off.

 

[PakPosheeda]

I'm gonna enjoy watching the Bang v Ned match more than this rain interrupted match WITHOUT ajmal.

If we can watch our team WITH Akmal, cant you watch it WITHOUT Ajmal?

 

[Digital]

No rain it's just overcast and heavy breeze at the moment !

 

[taqi]

it seems that players will be on and off the field due to rain during the day

 

[Afridi_Fan]

He looked worried after toss. I think scared of chasing.

He was thinking about his kids near the swimming pool. The match is the last thing on his mind. Chill

 

[The Slogger]

We are Pakistan! We are here to win!

 

[tahaqureshi]

If we can watch our team WITH Akmal, cant you watch it WITHOUT Ajmal?

I think if I see Akmal fumble even one catch today I'm gonna burst a blood vessel

 

[*syed59*]

If this pitch has something in it, we MUST get them out under 100. Otherwise the chase could be full of tension.

 

[Strike!]

Rain rain go away. issed:

 

[*syed59*]

hahaha

 

[saeedhk]

Should have tested Junaid .Woh koi hotaloon ki rootian to nahin khaney aya.

 

[IAJ]

Excellent set-up for Pakistan this: Clouds covered, rain in the air, bowling first. Just pitch the bowl up and it will do wonders InshaAllah.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Players coming out.

 

[Digital]

Players are coming out !

 

[Khan88]

inshAllah we will get a full game. Good to see Shafiq and Riaz in.

 

[sehban]

should look to restrict them less than 150... they reach 200 and i will start to feel nervous

 

[The Slogger]

no anthems?

 

[Poison]

Looks like the sun is out too ... wth?!
