[161]

Poor Fawad.

Played one match and benched again.

He should been in the 11 in the is meaningless match !

 

[Hash]

Fawad should have been playing instead of Yousuf

 

[lollol]

Look, guys: some grasss..... WOW.....


btw, this is the only piece of grass and also is wide outside offstump, so no use for the bowlers

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Fawad should have been playing instead of Yousuf.
Looking at the line up it is pretty evident that Malik will bowl 10 overs.He will get smacking all over the park from Bangla batsman.

 

[neo88]

i agree totally with bountylover_2000 ,fawad is such a great talent

he played the first match against us and with his magnificent spell pakistan was able to beat us

why was he dropped?????

 

[lollol]

Again they throw a wicket away...

Man, this must be painful when u are a BAN fan....

 

[salmanbutt129]

how quick is rauf bowling

 

[bdchamp20]

Again they throw a wicket away...

Man, this must be painful when u are a BAN fan....

It's painful that Nazimuddin is playing in the first place.

 

[iZeeshan]

Really hope they score at least 250. Give Pakistan something to bat at.

 

[161]

Breaking News:

That was actually Afridi disguised as Nazimuddin

 

[salmanbutt129]

how quick is rauf bowling

 

[Hash]

how quick is rauf bowling

His speeds in his first over...


94.3 mph
92.1mph
99.1mph
61.2mph
95.6mph
91.4mph

 

[salmanbutt129]

very funny
realy how quick

 

[Easa]

Our team just does not look like without Afridi

Pakistan will find out soon enough, how much they gain to lose by dropping him

 

[the Great Khan]

rauf is maximum 82.0..thats as quick as he's gonna get especially on picthes like these..no point wasting energy...

 

[Bangla Tiger]

Again they throw a wicket away...

Man, this must be painful when u are a BAN fan....

oh yes.

but not in this case, when you hate (read: disagree with his selection) the player batting.

 

[usman_ash14]

anybody has a link to watch it
plz forward it

 

[salmanbutt129]

on a good day how quick can he bowl

 

[Rana]

one question, is there any way pakistan can go through?

 

[FM87]

Another darn boring match is being played on a darn dead flat track between a second and a third rate team, and that dope fielding behind the wickets just can't keep his trap shut.

 

[SpinIsKing]

Go on to find a link there.

 

[161]

neither bowler has broken 80 mph yet.

sad.

 

[iZeeshan]

Damn. Now they won't get 200.

 

[161]

rauf pushing the pace barrier .. two balls straight at 79.2 mph.

come on rauf .. u can do it and crack the 80 mph barrier !

 

[Hash]

I want to see Nasir Jamshed bat a proper innings.

So please Bangladesh get some runs.

 

[161]

ashraful rattled by that extra bit of pace and falls the next ball.

 

[iZeeshan]

I want to see Nasir Jamshed bat a proper innings.

So please Bangladesh get some runs.

Their two best batsmen are gone. Gonna be really difficult to get 200 from here, even after they had a decent start.

 

[bdchamp20]

Good ball from Rauf, Ash taken by surprise...unlucky Ash!

 

[Hash]

cricinfo...

Powerplay taken and Raqibul Hasan walks in. Trust him to stick around

Sohail Tanvir to Raqibul Hasan, OUT, Tanvir bangs it in the bouncer and Raqibul falls for the bait, his hook fails to get the distance and Iftikhar Anjum runs forward from fine leg and takes the sitter.

Raqibul Hasan c Iftikhar Anjum b Sohail Tanvir 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

 

[cars112]

Rauf absolutely terrorizing these kids

 

[Hash]

another one bites the dust

49 for 4

For crying out loud Bangladesh.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

What a beautiful ball from abdulrauf to get tamim all squared up with a bouncer.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good stuff

Bangladesh 49/4 off 11.1 overs

Rauf with 3 wickets

 

[SameerM]

mite aswell let bangla win!! wots point in pak winning this game

 

[Hash]

Good stuff

Bangladesh 49/4 off 11.1 overs

Rauf with 3 wickets

Yeah, it's good but I was hoping we would have to chase 220 or so. Enough time for a Nasir Jamshed century!

 

[Hash]

mite aswell let bangla win!! wots point in pak winning this game

players get win bonuses as part of their contracts.

They are quite hefty as well.

 

[SameerM]

ok @win bonuses.. but wot about getting kicked out of the CUP final??

 

[Monsee]

Why are U guys so obsessed with pace...Rauf with even 80 MPH or less is getting some movement, great bounce and taking wickets (even though against BD) on a dead track in the liddle of July...this guy has paid his dues for the last 9 years and deserves to play for Pak; so bugger off all you silly billies who are blind fans of the village Idiot

 

[SpinIsKing]

Abdur Rauf looks like hes bowling at least mid 80's.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf is bowling good especially getting the extra bounce with his height - Even though he's not bowling anything as 80 or 80+ mph like he did in the last match!

 

[bdchamp20]

Misinterpreted pitch. There is a lot in it for the bowlers and it doesn't look so hot out there today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh - That was a caught n bowled chance for Rauf there that didn't go to hand!

 

[bdchamp20]

4 by Kapali off Rao

 

[Monsee]

RAW the Terror is bowling his terrifyingly quick thunderbolts now...everyone take cover

 

[bdchamp20]

Man you guys have some weird pitches!

 

[bdchamp20]

Kapali gets 12 off Rao from this over

 

[bdchamp20]

Saeed Ajmal in.

 

[Rickz]

Pakistan in the drivers seat after 15 overs. Bangaldesh 70 for 4.

 

[Rickz]

Bangladesh is going down the barrel, 73 for 5 in the 19th over.

 

[FM87]

Man all these Karachiwalls look like south indians.

 

[SameerM]

aint pak batting yet? a few more overs to wait.. brb

 

[FM87]

I'm about to strangle this wicket keeper. Why can't he shut his mouth? issed:

 

[cars112]

Wasim: "Very trendy haircut Shoaib Malik, I must say"

 

[MIG]

Man all these Karachiwalls look like south indians.

And what is that supposed to mean?

Dont make any racists remarks like that again

 

[Legendary_Sage]

Wasim was criticizing malik for bowling leg stump line and said that when imran was captain in 87 he asked tauseef to bowl off stump line.he said that you might go for runs but more chances of taking a wicket with off stump line.

 

[Plasma]

Malik just got a wicket from the leg stump line.

 

[McBoom]

Useless Iftikhar fluking his way through maiden after maidens.

 

[darkmoon459]

wickets are falling all arround us , 100/7 ouch thats bad even for B'deshi's.

 

[McBoom]

I'm about to strangle this wicket keeper. Why can't he shut his mouth? issed:

Keepers are supposed to buck up the bowlers. If you are so annoyed then press the mute button on your remote.

 

[bdchamp20]

Keepers are supposed to buck up the bowlers. If you are so annoyed then press the mute button on your remote.

Exactly!

 

[FM87]

And what is that supposed to mean?

Dont make any racists remarks like that again

It supposed to mean that most of them look like south indians and there was nothing racist in my post unless you consider south indians ugly. Now may I ask you to delete my last two posts. Thanks and peace.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

update

 

[McBoom]

Wonderful doosra by Ajmal to dismiss Razzaq.

 

[Plasma]

This pitch is much much better then the previous ones. Seems there is some moisture in it, the spinners getting considerable turn.

Good doosra from saeed.

 

[Plasma]

Murtaza is known as 'Norail Express'

)

 

[the Great Khan]

who thinks ajmal is bowling too many doosra's?

 

[ataullah]

who thinks ajmal is bowling too many doosra's?

me. If no one can pick it then it's ok but if it can get picked then he should use it less

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Fantastic bowling by S Hussian!

Take that BATSMEN

 

[PlanetPakistan]

28-0!

 

[BAADSHAH]

excellent header by salman butt for 4 runs - lol

 

[lollol]

Looks like the coach gave them some instructions

Nice pitch this!

 

[Salman]

Butts batting like a panzy... can't play swing.

 

[Muddaser]

Butts batting like a panzy... can't play swing.

Most would struggle after spending 6 months playing on lifeless wickets.

 

[Hash]

Definitely something in this pitch. I'd like to see more pitches like this. Why didn't we give it to India?

Perhaps we are saving a greentop for them in the CT
