Pakistan vs Delhi - OD warm-up game - 02/11/2007

[Easa]

This has been a comical start to the innings. 4's, swing and misses, no balls, wides, etc..

40/1 (3) 16 runs from the over..

 

[Shahid A]

This has been a comical start to the innings. 4's, swing and misses, no balls, wides, etc..

40/1 (3) 16 runs from the over..

cricinfo saying 13 runs from that last over

 

[Shahid A]

only 1 run coming from that last over

 

[Easa]

I'm watching this live on Neo Sports by the way..

And Butt hits 3 4's in that over.. 12 runs off it. 53/1 after 5 overs..

 

[sohaibsyed]

on tv?

 

[Shahid A]

53/1 (5.0 Overs)

 

[Easa]

) ) This is hilarious!

Nazir gets 5, sneaked a single and then overthrow 4 from the hapless fielder..

58/1 (5.1)

 

[Easa]

Overpitched and struck for 4 through cover by Butt, class shot.

62/1

Already 9 runs off this ove.r

 

[Indiafan]

) this is carnage!

 

[Easa]

Bowler strays on Butt's legs and is flicked for 4 more through square leg.. 12 boundaries in 6 overs.

 

[cricket_crazy]

4 runs by Salman on leg side

 

[Easa]

P'ship - 53 of 29 balls.

 

[Easa]

66/1 after 6 overs..

13 runs off the over.

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Is this a 20/20 match?

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Salman has raced to 21 runs off just 12 balls...

 

[Sage]

this match will tell us nothing!!

 

[Easa]

Nazir mistimes one and is caught at long on, Amit Bhandari strikes.

34 off 22 balls, 66/2

 

[cricistan]

butt is playing like 20 20... good to see him play like thiss

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

this match will tell us nothing!!

It tells us that our opening combination is still about 2000 light years away from being sorted out!

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

C'mon Freedie !!

 

[Sage]

regardless of the match, i still feel salman is the future, nazir needs to be dumped in the ganges

 

[Easa]

Misbah ul-Haq in, probably to get some batting practice..

brilliant over, a wicket maiden.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

CrapInfo first mentioned Afridi as the new batsman but turns out it is actually Misbah...

 

[Indiafan]

can sense a collapse here

 

[Indiafan]

edge for 4

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Good opportunity here for Misbah to show what he can do batting up the order.

 

[cricket_crazy]

Again Misbah taking too long to get off the mark and killing our momentum

 

[slix10]

We should be like 200/0 in this match, puny bowlers.

 

[prepare]

Is this on tv????

 

[Hash]

Again Misbah taking too long to get off the mark and killing our momentum

batting practice/time in the middle is very important for Misbah. I'd rather he bat for 50 balls and score 25 than bat for 30 balls and score 25.

 

[Hash]

Butt needs to get a century here. Come on Sal.

 

[MIG]

Is this on tv????

NEO TV is showing it in the MiddleEast

 

[Easa]

I have to say, Salman Butt has played beautifully today. We saw glimpses of when he was back to his best through the off side today.

Seemed determined to succeed right from his first ball.

yes I must say Butt is the batting like well in Bahawalpur

 

[Easa]

yes I must say Butt is the batting like well in Bahawalpur

yes, i am watching it in my eye..

 

[Ahmad]

Butt's done well hasn't he. Does this bring him back into contention for the opening slot..? I was reading somewhere on a thread here that Sarfaraz Ahmed has been brought in..?? Good to see Misbah spending sometime out there in the middle. How has his innings been so far? Fidgety, or has he played a solid knock..?!

 

[waqar_ahmad]

So, Butt batting well might mean the end for Nazir. It will be butt and akmal opening I think

 

[Indiafan]

Butt left to make way for Hameed

 

[waqar_ahmad]

well, pakistanis want to give as much practice as possible to their weakest players, and guess what, that includes everyone but yk and moyo

 

[Hash]

Butt left to make way for Hameed

what was that you were saying about a collapse?

 

[Hash]

well, pakistanis want to give as much practice as possible to their weakest players, and guess what, that includes everyone but yk and moyo

Glad Butt and Misbah have got some valuable time in the middle. Both needed it and if both are in good form for the ODI series it will take us a long way towards lifting the trophy.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

has umar gul come out to bat?

 

[Hash]

29.6 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run
29.5 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run
29.4 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run


?????

Has cricinfo lost the plot or has Butt warped into Umar Gul's body? Or is the cricinfo guy hallucinating again? Has Butt retired? Shame, they should have let him get his 100, would have been a welcome boost to confidence.

 

[Indiafan]

what was that you were saying about a collapse?

Was it the following you were looking for?

Delhi bowlers have collapsed against brutal Pak onslaught

 

[cricistan]

So, Butt batting well might mean the end for Nazir. It will be butt and akmal opening I think

akmal opening>???!!! oh god no!!! he is better at number 7 or 8!

we should open with butt and afridi..

 

[pacman]

29.6 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run
29.5 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run
29.4 Nanda to Umar Gul, no run


?????

Has cricinfo lost the plot or has Butt warped into Umar Gul's body? Or is the cricinfo guy hallucinating again? Has Butt retired? Shame, they should have let him get his 100, would have been a welcome boost to confidence.

according to cricbuzz it is Yasir Hameed out in the middle, and not Umar Gul.

 

[Hash]

can sense a collapse here

muahahahaha

 

[Hash]

34.5 Sangwan to Umar Gul, FOUR, fuller outside off, driven elegantly through covers

So Gul has now started 'driving elegantly'?

Is this another masterstroke by the team management? Bring in Gul at 4?

 

[waqar_ahmad]

34.5 Sangwan to Umar Gul, FOUR, fuller outside off, driven elegantly through covers

haha.... I think its hameed.

 

[Hash]

according to cricbuzz it is Yasir Hameed out in the middle, and not Umar Gul.

ah ic.

So the cricinfo guy is obviously hallucinating again.

 

[Sheikh]

Apparently Gul just drove elegantly through the covers for 4.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

and for some reason, cricinfo has gone back to india's innings. Brilliant

 

[Sheikh]

Tanvir joins Gul after Misbah's downfall. Maybe Alam should get a bat?

 

[Sheikh]

My mistake (or is it Cricinfo's?) and it is Alam who's batting.

 

[S_haq]

according to cricinfo its Fawad Alam who joined Gul

 

[Sheikh]

Apparently Misbah fell chasing a wide one again. He's becoming quite the professional fisherman now.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad and Hameed are batting

Pakistan need 20 runs from 71 balls

 

[Hash]

i can't see us winning from here

 

[Hash]

Apparently Misbah fell chasing a wide one again. He's becoming quite the professional fisherman now.

he batted for over 90 balls. That's the important thing.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad looks all over the place with his footwork. Has already been hit on the back of his head by a bouncer

Hameed on the other hand is having fun plonking these trundlers around the park

 

[Usman Chadda]

Nazir, Butt and Hameed have all done pretty well today. All three look in great touch at the moment

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fawad pulls over square-leg for a boundary. That was a cracking pull shot

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Nazir, Butt and Hameed have all done pretty well today. All three look in great touch at the moment

Just watch our great openers in the real match

 

[Sheikh]

he batted for over 90 balls. That's the important thing.

Is it? He's rarely going to get 90 odd balls batting at number 6 or 7. What worries me is that after facing a substantial amount of deliveries he still finds a way to throw his wicket away...as he did in the test match.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hameed finishes the match off with a boundary through the legside

 

[Wazeeri]

Some really stupid decissions by Shoaib

Why give Younis a bowl?
Why not bowl out Gul and Afridi?

Just because it is a practice doesn't mean you p1ss about

I think the main thing for him at this stage is to spend time in the middle. Wasn't such a bad thing that he got out...Fawad got to have a bat.

Warm up games should not be taken too seriously. Just use them to warm up, nothing else.

Was trying Younis out. Might be a strategy in the ODIs to give him 2 or 3 overs. Maybe Younus, Malik and Fawad will share the 5th bowler slot....gives us room for an extra batsman (Fawad). Was a good move.

We have played a fair amount of cricket in the last month so its not important that our bowlers bowl 10 overs.

 

[Wazeeri]

And why did we allow this Bhandari guy to keep us quiet?
The last time he played us we absolutely killed him.

 

[Wazeeri]

Was trying Younis out.

How many times has Younis done anything with the ball?
I think that there was spin in the pitch so malik thought about winning the match rather than getting the people who need practice the practice.

I understand that, I'm just a little wary of Misbah. In 2 tests and 5 Odi's he's failed to even register a 50. When he gets starts he throws them away. When he gets close to the finish line, he has a brain freeze and panics. Sure, it's much too early to form a definitive judgement on him, but he's not exactly doing himself any favours. This is a massive series for him and I'd like him to seize this opportunity.

 

[Gunner786]

is this match on tv?
where are you guys watchingit?

 

[Hash]

How many times has Younis done anything with the ball?
I think that there was spin in the pitch so malik thought about winning the match rather than getting the people who need practice the practice.

Younis wasn't bowling spin

Was bowling medium pace.....71-77 mph. He bowled a bit for Yorkshire too and picked up a wicket or two here and there.

Everyone got a bowl, and Fawad, Butt, Misbah and Yasir got a bat. All in all, it was fine.

 

[MIG]

NEO TV has the coverage

 

[salman24]

nah, I don't swing that way.

Neither do I bro, Neither do I

 

[aussie-pak]

shocked at Misbah-ul-Haq. 39 runs off 93 balls. whats going on, mate!
