Pakistan vs Bangladesh | 1st ODI | Lahore | 08/04/08 | Bangladesh Innings

[12thMan]

Riad runout - Cheetah MoYo to Afridi and out
Ban 68-6 after 17.4 overs

 

[Hash]

I think Bangladesh are going to win this

 

[PlanetPakistan]

One of the greatest miracles in the history of mankind....in fact not even the history of mankind but the history of the universe.

Kamran Akmal has NOT dropped a catch. Yet.

The catch which dismissed Aftab was very clean in fact. It was a huge edge yet he got there and took the catch with out even extending his arms( this is what Wasim Bari was famous for).

 

[McBoom]

MoYo was more pleased on this run out than his century

 

[Saj]

well, well, well. I've seen it all now, Yousuf inflicting a runout.

73 for 6

 

[Hash]

MoYo was more pleased on this run out than his century

Under the PCBs new performance based contracts, Yousuf looks set to make over Rs 1 million ($17000 or so, roughly) from this game alone!

He's making up for the ICL/IPL debacle. Good for him & Pakistan i say.

 

[BD-fan]

we seemed to be crossing 78 before 20 overs and stick around for 20+ overs. woohoo!!

 

[W63L35]

Wait till another light interpution....... that might give you some more chance get excited!

 

[BD-fan]

Just so that you guys know our best batsman has yet to take the field.

 

[OZGOD]

Bangladesh collapsing.

 

[W63L35]

Who is that?

 

[BANFAN]

I think Bangladesh are going to win this

You must be one of the greatest thinkers of all times.........

 

[BD-fan]

Who is that?

Abdur Razzak.

No Ozgod. This normal for BD. The last five is definitely better than the top five.?

 

[McBoom]

kaptaaan saab starts with a wide

 

[12thMan]

MoYo is fielding at mid on now. Watch out midoff and midwicket players. Your areas have been covered. Don't come in the way of the sprinting Cheetah

 

[12thMan]

Afridi strikes. Reza out LBW
Ban 92-7 after 23.1

 

[BD-fan]

Our bottom five is better than our top five.

 

[12thMan]

another one bites the dust - Ghosh ct at 1st slip off Afridi
92-8

 

[iZeeshan]

The beast on a hattrick!

 

[McBoom]

One of the greatest miracles in the history of mankind....in fact not even the history of mankind but the history of the universe.

Kamran Akmal has NOT dropped a catch. Yet.

Just as I thought miracles do happen Akmal drops one, luckily enough Younis caught it on the rebound.

 

[BD-fan]

Come on Razzak. show the top order how to do it.

 

[iZeeshan]

And no.

 

[BD-fan]

i guess Siddons is keeping him off as a secrect weapon for the coming matches. Mash in.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Our bottom five is better than our top five.

why dont u play them first??

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

according to cricinfo....afridi bowled a flipper to take his first wicket.

i would be really interested to see that.

 

[OZGOD]

9/92 now.

 

[12thMan]

Raqibul out. Akmal takes a forward diving catch off Malik
92-9
Did Sikandar Bakht just say "Bangladesh will have to change their strategy now"

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik takes a wicket now. Only a couple of minutes more....

 

[dblock]

Great catch from Akmal, it was like the Gilchrist catch in the 2001 Ashes.. without the deflection from fielder and also one handed not two.

[dblock]

Raqibul out. Akmal takes a forward diving catch off Malik
92-9
Did Sikandar Bakht just say "Bangladesh will have to change their strategy now"

for next match he meant.

 

[BD-fan]

why dont u play them first??

When I use to play these boys weren't born. At least I knew how important my wicket was.

 

[harman]

BD are worse than zimbabwe ..."Quite an acrobatic effort that by Akmal and it is refreshing to watch" something wrong with akmal today

 

[BD-fan]

The last pair will make sure that MR. extra becomes the highest run getter for the team first.

 

[Saj]

well done to the BD batsmen for carrying on despite one of the floodlight towers not working.

 

[Saj]

Malik and Afridi both getting a bit of turn.

Big 6 by Mortaza.

 

[BD-fan]

Shoaib Malik just leaked 11 runs.

 

[Saj]

Sharp chance missed by YK at slip

 

[Bh4i]

Light are down again... can u believe this....

As Waqar said: there are more (important) tournaments coming here, and u cant afford something like this happening again...

 

[Saj]

Game over.

Mortaza hits one straight to long off. BD 128 all out and Pak win by 152 runs.

 

[BD-fan]

This pair has the highest partnership for BD. I told you our bottom five is better than the top five.

 

[BD-fan]

And now Abdur Razzak is opening up.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

This is embrassing lights going off again! Pakistan needs to get this sorted out!

Also I am frustrated with Malik not bringing on pace bowlers to take the last wicket! Damn IT!!! I want Tanvir to get a 4-fer

 

[BD-fan]

shuck!! It is all over.

 

[BD-fan]

have a good day you all. Great game by the Pakistani team.

Hope Bd team shows some heart in the next one. At least win a toss for a change.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

hopefully the next match will be a better contest played under better lights


Surely this light situation can't reoccur in the great city of Faisalabad.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Why should he? Fast bowlers should be protected as much as possible especially if they are as injury prone as our Pakistani bowlers

 

[Uzi]

'Stand up for the champions'

 

[MalikBrother]

Tanvir and Rao were impressive and put pressure on Bangladesh from the beginning. Credit goes to them .

Not surprised by the performance of Yousuf and Malik. I was hoping to see youngsters action

 

[PlanetPakistan]

DNA presenting a special souvenir- for what?

 

[Savak]

Expected victory. Some cricket is obviously better than no cricket at all. Good to see Umar Gul back, he looked nippy, dissapointed there was no speed gun. Tanvir did well, Rao as usual very workman like performance. But no exciting fast bowling prospect yet. We need to try some speedy prospects because this same attack will be treated disdainfully by better sides.

 

[McBoom]

DNA presenting a special souvenir- for what?

for being an obidient servant of DNA

 

[infamous9383]

strange out of nowhere Sikander Bakht asked about WC 2011 to Yousuf.

 

[BANFAN]

Hope nextone is played under lights... Nice being here.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

A good victory for Pakistan ( their seventh consecutive one in ODI's ). Even though its only BD but still a victory is a victory. Nice to see Yousuf do well . Afridi was also good with his little cameo and 3 wickets.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

And yeah Tanvir too bowled a fine spell. He was pretty effective i thought and only if he can work on his batting he might be able to fill the void left by Razzaq.

 

[Savak]

And yeah Tanvir too bowled a fine spell. He was pretty effective i thought and only if he can work on his batting he might be able to fill the void left by Razzaq.

Very difficult to do that. Razzaq was a unique and special talent, probably the best striker of the ball in the game. Tanvir is just too limited. Razzaq needs to be brought back now, i think the message was sent when we dropped him, its his batting that we all miss.

 

[lavauk]

WELDONE PAK BHAI FOR 1st ONEDAY WIN YOU GUYS DESERVE IT BRAVO

 

[P4K1 #1]

I didnt watch the bangladesh innings, due to falling asleep, how was umar gul bowling?

 

[Hash]

Gul was getting some good bounce and some movement too. He was looking pretty good.

Congratulations Pakistan....couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive victory than this. Unlucky Bangladesh, hope you put up a better fight in the next game.

 

[McBoom]

Congrats to the pak side & commiserations for the Bangladesh team.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Would have loved to see Sohail Khan bowl on this pitch

 

[Hash]

It's funny how people have mentioned Yousuf and Afridi shoving Lawson's words down his throat or egg on Lawson's face or whatever.

Funny because the moment anyone mentions Malik the same people will change tune and talk about how 'oh it was only Bangladesh, let's see him against the big boys bla bla bla'

Such is PakPassion I guess!

Congratulations to all the performers today. Well done.

DNA presenting a special souvenir- for what?

Who is presenting to who?

 

[12thMan]

It was given to Shoaib Malik. It was probably no souvenior but a trophy for winning the match. Kudos to Sikandar for causing a commotion

 

[W63L35]

Light are down again... can u believe this....

As Waqar said: there are more (important) tournaments coming here, and u cant afford something like this happening again...

I hope... ICC takes notice and makes DNA take his head out of ..... I'll be polite.... out of sand and do something about the lights for freaking Champion Trophy.... if it was going to be held here. But then again.... if DNA stays, I wouldn't be surprised if ICC moves CT out of Pak. I'd love to see DNA refuse the "neutral venue" in that case!

 

[W63L35]

you sometimes say the right thing

I hope... it is a complement!
