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

[Poison]

That wicket will really help DL calculations.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

its 12.30 am and i have job interview at 9.30 ......what am i doing? watching pk vs zim boring match?,,hang on pakistan never play a boring match , we would see when they start chase

 

[saajidrox]

Kamran eyes not in the ball while catching lol

 

[Sherlock]

Zim's inns are almost certainly over. Pakistan likely to bat at the next break imo.

 

[Sledger]

"Kamran Akmal's caught another one"

*complete silence in the studio*

) ) )

 

[Khan88]

Can they just call it the interval and set the target with D/L now even though Gul's over isn't finished?

 

[Munna]

wow .. we are suppose to have the best bowling attack .. but we also have the most unsettled one too despite that :d

 

[Sledger]

More covers coming on now.

 

[saajidrox]

It's raining heavily i think it's a passing cloud

 

[Munna]

cricinfo : that may well be the end of zim innings

 

[hamzie]

Foxsports showing 1992 WC stuff.

 

[JellyBro]

kamran took 2 catches today Must be his career's best ...

 

[Sherlock]

I think Pakistan should be chasing somewhere in region 150-140 in 40/38 overs.

 

[pakcricketfan]

Everyone patting Kamran. )

Yeah.. the way they did it when he caught Taylor was kinda nice.

Good to see that, TBH.

 

[saajidrox]

140 in 35 overs i guess ?

 

[hamzie]

living in australia?

 

[Slickman]

Fast chase please up the run rate!!

 

[pakcricketfan]

Kamran eyes not in the ball while catching lol

may be because they were on it?

 

[Gollum]

kamran took 2 catches today Must be his career's best ...

Nothing new here, he always seem to bounce back from a horrible game. He shall save his best (worst) for an important game later in the tournament.

 

[saajidrox]

raining still?

 

[hamzie]

Rain rain go away
come another day again
barneys friends all want to play
rain rain go away

 

[Poison]

I think Pakistan should be chasing somewhere in region 150-140 in 40/38 overs.

Expect 220 in 40 overs given this system's history.

 

[Sledger]

Not looking good - more covers coming on.

 

[Sherlock]

Looks like Pakistan WILL be batting after the break. More covers have come on.

 

[Sherlock]

That wicket could be really crucial in helping Pakistan get a lower target.

 

[yadunoe]

whats the situation if pak tie here

 

[PakistanPaindabad]

Is it a passing cloud? will it clear later or will this wash out the entire match? anyone with information?

 

[Sledger]

whats the situation if pak tie here

Qualify.

 

[chui_kadoo]

I hope we get atleast 20 overs in. We need the 2 points

 

[Khan88]

Looks like Pakistan WILL be batting after the break. More covers have come on.

Any confirmation of this?

 

[Strike!]

Cricinfo: If Zimbabwe don't resume their innings, Pakistan will chase 164 in 39 overs.

Seems kind of high.

 

[Gollum]

Will need to start with a bang in our innings and stay ahead of the DL rate because the game could end at any stage with this kind of weather.

 

[saajidrox]

If that is the end of the Zim innings , Pak will have to chase 164 off 39 overs, 140 off 30 overs or 108 off 20 overs? D/L could be harsh on pak

 

[sehban]

i will take the 108 of 20 overs, less the runs for pakistan better it is for them

 

[Gollum]

If that is the end of the Zim innings , Pak will have to chase 164 off 39 overs, 140 off 30 overs or 108 off 20 overs? D/L could be harsh on pak

Come on this is Zimbabwe....our batsmen gotta do the job once in a while!

 

[JibranAnsari]

If that is the end of the Zim innings , Pak will have to chase 164 off 39 overs, 140 off 30 overs or 108 off 20 overs? D/L could be harsh on pak

and in 15 or 10 overs?

 

[Gollum]

and in 15 or 10 overs?

no result if we don't play 20 overs

 

[hur rizvi]

Come on this is Zimbabwe....our batsmen gotta do the job once in a while!

this could be tough for our batsman as the ball will swing under lights

 

[Poison]

If that is the end of the Zim innings , Pak will have to chase 164 off 39 overs, 140 off 30 overs or 108 off 20 overs? D/L could be harsh on pak

Sorry but that is ridiculous, Zim were never even threatening to go above 4 an over for any part of their innings, but these chases are all over 4rpo, the last one at 5.4?! Makes NO sense.

 

[yadunoe]

108 in 20 is not hard at all

 

[saajidrox]

and in 15 or 10 overs?

lol match would be called off 1 point each

 

[Rudi hater]

Pakistan is going to finish 4th now.

 

[saajidrox]

Sorry but that is ridiculous, Zim were never even threatening to go above 4 an over for any part of their innings, but these chases are all over 4rpo, the last one at 5.4?! Makes NO sense.

true thats why this no use D/L to be altered its crap really harsh on pak its like giving bonus runs away

 

[Gollum]

this could be tough for our batsman as the ball will swing under lights

DEAL WITH IT....man up and do the job

 

[Legal Eye]

It makes perfect sense - had they known they'd be batting less overs, they'd have put their foot on the gas at some point.

 

[saajidrox]

guys it would be worth afridi opening zim have only one seamer. spin at the other end . afrdi can play spin well and give a boom boom start incase it rains again pak will be well ahead and match could be favored worth the risk what would you guys say?

 

[hamzie]

Still raining?

 

[Gollum]

Still raining?

the covers are still on....i think so

 

[Free Hit]

pakistan will win easily

 

[Poison]

It makes perfect sense - had they known they'd be batting less overs, they'd have put their foot on the gas at some point.

They were 6 down at the interruption ... who's to say they wouldn't have completely collapsed and gone all out before 130? Is it meant to be a predictor of some sort?

 

[WithLoveFromCanada]

koi update do bhai koi update do!!!!!

 

[thecricket]

short update @ 7:30 pm

 

[Free Hit]

final target here should be 169 of 43 overs

 

[Rudi hater]

Can someone ask Azhar to go back home.

 

[saajidrox]

It makes perfect sense - had they known they'd be batting less overs, they'd have put their foot on the gas at some point.

but they did get 10 overs mandatory and 5 overs batting powerplay and out of the reduced batting power play of two overs they got to face 4 balls

 

[Gollum]

covers are on, no movement from ground staff, so it doesn't look good out there

they may very well have taken lunch

 

[saajidrox]

Not raining any more, but groundsman and match official inspecting the skies suspiciously
Covers coming off now

 

[Free Hit]

covers still on?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan should get this easily. Openers should follow a cool approach and provide a steady start

 

[Nemo]

Covers being moved off...i think

 

[hussnainn]

and in 15 or 10 overs?

Can't have a match fr less than 20 overs

 

[saajidrox]

covers still on?

I would guess that we'll get a match in, although the process of bringing on and removing covers does take a while...

 

[thecricket]

covers cmin off

 

[Lara400]

Can someone ask Azhar to go back home.

We did after the last World Cup

 

[yadunoe]

man it rains soo much in sl. is this the rainy season?

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is not that bad an effort from Zimbabwe with the bat after the poor start they had. Decent score for a 40 over match, what is the adjusted target guys ?

 

[Free Hit]

Question: Umar Gul bowled really well, azhar what do you think of him opening the bowling

Azhar: Yah, he bowled well you know, and he open bowling you know is good for pakistan, he is wicket taker you know and get wickets at top of order...you know

[saajidrox]

[Bhaijaan]

something like 65-70 for 0 or 1 after 15 overs

 

[saajidrox]
