Pakistan vs Afghanistan| Asia Cup 2014 | Fatullah | 27/2/2014| Pakistan Innings

[maddgenius]

I hope they dont get carried away in PP

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

After 35, Pakistan 142-6

 

[Barragan]

I haven't seen much of Anwar bowl, what is he like. All I've seen of him is his terrible seam position..

He loves to bowl short too, like many of our current bowlers.

Maybe the coach is telling them to?

 

[Shafi]

Pakistan seriously needs to thing for their batting problems. Need to get rid of Hafeez, Afridi,Sarjeel and Maqsood (?) and inject new players. We can not get worse than this. Also, we need serious coaching stuff rather than suited booted friendly deshi coaches. We need Waqar/Akhter as bowling, Inzamam/Yousuf as batting, Fountain as fielding coach. We also need to look our top performers from domestic and U-19 team (Sami and Inamul).

 

[hussain.r97]

OH GOD Batting Powerplay... Pakistan tend to lose wickets here....

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Powerplay Time

 

[Saeed]

Gul can hit big too if he connects.

 

[Fahdi]

25 runs off the PP are enough. I will even settle for 20.

 

[Madplayer]

anwar needs to calm the hell down

 

[Saeed]

WTH is anwer doing?

Sharjeel and Maqsood should stay. Afridi and Hafeez need to go NOW! honestly those two out and 2 new and good players in will make a massive difference....

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Almost a run out

Sharjeel and Maqsood were top performers when they got selected

 

[Red Devil]

2 from the first PP over

 

[Electron]

If Akmal stays till the end, then 225-250 is a good possibility.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Single to Ali. I'd be happy with 25-30 odd runs in the PP without the loss of any wicket

 

[Mr Consistent]

pak 144-6 after 36 overs

 

[Madplayer]

just target 20-25 runs here. Dont try to be heroes

 

[Saeed]

Umar will edge it if he kept doing it.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

If Akmal stays till the end, then 225-250 is a good possibility.

Aap ke mun mein ghee shakkar

 

[Red Devil]

Shapoor on

 

[mosh101]

Afghanistan's Irfan is back in the attack

 

[maddgenius]

Single to Ali. I'd be happy with 25-30 odd runs in the PP without the loss of any wicket

Even 15 runs will do...but dont lose a wicket

 

[Saeed]

If Akmal stays till the end, then 225-250 is a good possibility.

We are already safe, everything from now on is bonus.

 

[Fahdi]

He loves to bowl short too, like many of our current bowlers.

Maybe the coach is telling them to?

The coach has a worse bowling average than Sir Ishant in tests. So i will not be surprised.

 

[Madplayer]

great consistency shown by shapoor zadran. He is 29 years of age since last 3 years.

 

[Fahdi]

We are already safe, everything from now on is bonus.

Dont be complcent.

 

[hussain.r97]

If both Akmal and Anwar stay not out at the end, or at least take it to the 47th over, we are looking at 240+

 

[Electron]

Look at the captaincy. Afgnistan still looking for wickets. If it was Dhoni, then trundler part-timers ko laga deta...

 

[Saqib]

Pakistan needs to improve one department is running between the wickets if we can improve on that it will improve our perfromance and we can even win matches

Clearly the reason we are in this situation was the run rate was below 4.

 

[Madplayer]

afghans clearly have a plan.

 

[Saeed]

Just 35 more runs needed.

 

[maddgenius]

Dropped....sigh

 

[Red Devil]

Dropped Thank God

 

[mosh101]

Umar dropped !

Good riddance !

 

[Red Devil]

WTH was that

 

[Madplayer]

puts it down. Umar akmal gets a life. What a brain fart that was.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Pathetic Shot from umar

 

[Mr Consistent]

umar akmal

 

[Mark42]

Man! this afgan wicket keeper is so much into copying DHoni??? seriously even walking, appeal etc????

 

[Seen Sheen]

If both Akmal and Anwar stay not out at the end, or at least take it to the 47th over, we are looking at 240+

Highly unlikely I feel even if these two play full 50 overs. These two are in a situation where they can probably only take risks in last 4 overs of the innings.

 

[Mo_Ahmed84]

I have no doubt that we will win this match. But it is a big concern.

 

[Electron]

Bach gaya..

 

[Saeed]

Umar akmal dropped.

 

[mosh101]

That would have been the end for Pakistan

 

[Logical]

That drop is the turning point !

 

[hussain.r97]

That would've been curtains for Pakistan!!

 

[Madplayer]

trying to be a hero.

But you know what the ball is stopping after pitching

 

[Saeed]

Is this catch which dropped the match?

 

[Canistani Hero]

Oh dear Umer..

 

[Red Devil]

Fgs Umar

 

[Asif321]

why play this shot

 

[Electron]

Afganistan dropped the match there.

 

[saiyan0312]

Brainless shot by umer./.. thank God that dropped

 

[Red Devil]

Direct hit

 

[maddgenius]

No run out...please

 

[steelo green]

Cut Umar some slack, the entire pressure is on him. He got a life, it happens. Misbah got one last match.

 

[Madplayer]

oh man please be not out

 

[Red Devil]

He's in

 

[Mr Consistent]

now direct hit

 

[Madplayer]

what the hell are they upto

 

[Saqib]

Please someone give Umar Akmal a chocolat and tell him to calm down please !

 

[Sam18696]

[GreenKnightRises]

[Red Devil]

He's in He's in

 

[Mr Consistent]

bach gya

 

[Madplayer]

anu yaar please araam se

 

[zains_rulez]

mujhe heart attack ajaega .... yeh kya horha hai

 

[96NotOut]

God, what happened? The Afghans have got us in this position??

 

[Batman_DB]

pakistan will still win it easy!! they can even defend a small total like 185-190 with their great bowling line up

 

[saiyan0312]

umer living with danger

 

[Madplayer]

anwar ali has a brain. The ball is turning

 

[Sunny786]

God please help us get to atleast 200

 

[Canistani Hero]

A nail-biter against Afghanistan. No other team can make every match a thriller. Love you Pakistan

 

[Red Devil]

:4 Shot

 

[Seen Sheen]

trying to be a hero.

But you know what the ball is stopping after pitching

But it would start coming onto the bat with dew predicted in the evening. Odds are stacked heavily against us.

 

[Electron]

Umar Akmal :4

 

[mosh101]

Superb shot for fourrr !

Umar you beauty !

 

[maddgenius]

[GreenKnightRises]
