Pakistan vs England, 1st ODI, Cardiff: Updates

[iZeeshan]

Any chance they will come back? Cuz if they do, it will be an EZeeeeee chase.

 

[CricketJunoon]

play off again due to rain

 

[yk]

ZM where r u????

 

[yk]

I doubt they'll come back, its 9.10pm already.

 

[Toony™®]

need 13 overs for result for game.

play could be called off 9:55pm.

 

[iZeeshan]

I knew Afridi should have come in. Who knows maybe he would have hit a very very fast 65 by now.

 

[iZeeshan]

The match looking even easier for Pakistan now. It just isn't fair. Thats two matches we get robbed of.

 

[Has]

Its started! And I'm sitting up stairs on the computer like an idiot!

Bye.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

luck going england´s way

 

[offcutter]

it is cruelty to Malik, our star number 3 performer, to push him down to opener

 

[yk]

I knew Afridi should have come in. Who knows maybe he would have hit a very very fast 65 by now.

makes no difference, we need 20 overs for a game to count.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Down to opener?? I thought opening was at the top...?

 

[Gunner786]

[yk]

BBC saying it shudn't be raining, then why is it??!!! ZM WHERE R U????

 

[GQ]

So what's the deal guys? What happens if play doesn't resume again? Is it gonna be a no result or what?

 

[yk]

^ yep no result.

 

[CricketJunoon]

So what's the deal guys? What happens if play doesn't resume again? Is it gonna be a no result or what?

yeah no result

 

[Mo.]

Yea, no result

 

[garbage_can2003]

[yk]

covers on......

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

So what's the deal guys? What happens if play doesn't resume again? Is it gonna be a no result or what?

Yes it will. It´s like loosing for Pakistan at this stage...

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to get another 13 overs in to consititute a match.

 

[Billy]

here we go again!!

the next glenn mcgrath

Was that Bumble again?

I turned it off as soon as Gower asked him about Broad. He just can't resist jumping onto the hype machine..

 

[GQ]

And how much official match time is left? How long can they wait?

 

[aamir]

BBC saying it shudn't be raining, then why is it??!!!

Must be Hair up to his tricks again

 

[yk]

Yep it was lloyd claiming broad to be the next mcgrath.

extended covers coming on now.

 

[Amjid Javed]

And how much official match time is left? How long can they wait?

when they came off they said sumat like 50 mins!

 

[Amjid Javed]

players need to be back out in 30 mins, sadly it looks like game over!

 

[shan]

we need 1 hour of play at least

 

[yk]

still raining....apprently they need to be back on the field in 30 mins or so, to complete the 20 overs required.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Yep it was lloyd claiming broad to be the next mcgrath.

extended covers coming on now.

This is only his first maych and they start saying things like this. Just as the indians kept on saying that pathan is the next akram...nonsence!!

 

[shan]

how much time they need to comeback if rain stop now?

 

[Rob H]

Well that's what you get for playing in Wales. Rain rain and more rain. We all knew it would happen but that's political correctness for you.

 

[yk]

That means the rain needs to stop in 5 mins or so, coz they take 20-25 mins taking the covers off, and drying the outfield.

 

[GQ]

Bad luck for Pakistan, I guess. Does anyone know if same weather predictions for the next game aswell?

 

[Amjid Javed]

how much time they need to comeback if rain stop now?

They need to be back on in next 25 mins!

 

[yk]

Well that's what you get for playing in Wales. Rain rain and more rain. We all knew it would happen but that's political correctness for you.

It mite rain all day at Lords on Sat, and thats in London.

 

[shan]

then game is over

unlucky Pakistan as has been for all series

 

[yk]

Bad luck for Pakistan, I guess. Does anyone know if same weather predictions for the next game aswell?

yep, not looking good for sat either.

 

[iZeeshan]

Well that's what you get for playing in Wales. Rain rain and more rain. We all knew it would happen but that's political correctness for you.

Yea and we scheduled the games right?

 

[iZeeshan]

But something has to be done. You can't just take a game away from Pakistan like this! I mean if it was England, I'd be happy but honestly I'd feel that its really not fair.

 

[Rob H]

It mite rain all day at Lords on Sat, and thats in London.

probability of rain in Wales is 200% higher though.

 

[Billy]

But something has to be done. You can't just take a game away from Pakistan like this! I mean if it was England, I'd be happy but honestly I'd feel that its really not fair.

It doesn't seem fair but it's happened plenty of times in the past and will happen plenty of times in the future. There isn't anything that can be done short of an anti-rain dance.

 

[yk]

covers still on....9.33pm

 

[garbage_can2003]

looks like a no result .....shame

 

[iZeeshan]

It doesn't seem fair but it's happened plenty of times in the past and will happen plenty of times in the future. There isn't anything that can be done short of an anti-rain dance.

Continue the next day?

 

[garbage_can2003]

Absolutely no luck for Pak in this tour!

 

[yk]

Drizzle still in the air, umpires in the middle with brollies. Not looking good lads.

 

[iZeeshan]

Yup, the match has been called off. What a shame

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

i want to see the match payed.......

 

[iZeeshan]

No wait, they need to be back on the field in 20 mins....

 

[garbage_can2003]

Sky Sports come on interview Blind Billy!

 

[Amjid Javed]

But something has to be done. You can't just take a game away from Pakistan like this! I mean if it was England, I'd be happy but honestly I'd feel that its really not fair.

Lets go back to 1992 world cup. Pakistan bowled out for 74 by england. It rained and game was drawn. That point ultimatley helped pakistan into semi-finals!

so lets not whinge about situtation. It can go both ways.

 

[yk]

Match Abondoned...Its Official.

No Result.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Game abandened. Its just been announced.

 

[iZeeshan]

This is absolute ROBBERY, and a bunch of bullshiite, or hogwash if you must

Yes, but like I said, I still felt really bad for England, and still would. But "both ways", something should be done about it.

 

[evertonfan]

Rain is a great player isn't he? The number of times he has saved England has been unbelievable.

Pakistan will have to settle for a 4-0 series victory now.

 

[TaZ]

All over. Match abandoned. Strauss' crying that its too wet has earned england a get out. Whinger.

 

[yk]

It cud be 0-0 until the 3rd ODI, becoz it looks like the 2nd ODI will be a wash out as well.

ZM where r u? I put BELIEF in u!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Btw, Darrell Hair was also a great player. And Billy Doctrove always gave excellent support at the crease, no?

 

[iZeeshan]

EVen if it doesn't go down in the records, we ALL know in our hearts that Pakistan won

 

[TaZ]

Moan moan moan

 

[ali_ed2006]

oh well, we'll win 3-0 then!

 

[evertonfan]

Crickey stop whinging Pakistan fans! Rain stops games, get over it! It's not as iff your going to lose the series anyway. And what's to say that England couldn't have stole a victory? Improbable but you never know.

 

[Rob H]

EVen if it doesn't go down in the records, we ALL know in our hearts that Pakistan won

So what's the series score then?

Pakistan morale 1 - 0 England morale?

 

[cricketcrazy]

Pakistani bowlers will get the wickets they got or not?? I mean shoaib will keep his numebr at 200 or not?

 

[cricketcrazy]

Crickey stop whinging Pakistan fans! Rain stops games, get over it! It's not as iff your going to lose the series anyway. And what's to say that England couldn't have stole a victory? Improbable but you never know.

with this bowling attack no way man

You seem to be quite a chatty gal. Any problems?

 

[zaf1986]

England will only lose 4-0 now....

 

[yk]

Is evertonfan a girl?

 

[TaZ]

The only moaners and whingers are england!! Strauss would not have been moaning if they had scored 280 and then we were chasing 240ish in 32 overs!

 

[zaf1986]

Is evertonfan a girl?

With a signature like this:

I want my GoJo back!

...it does seem quite likely.

[evertonfan]

Evertonfan is in fact not a girl, he is actually a 15 year old boy who is very pessimisstic about England's chances in ODI cricket. He is also laughing his head off over the fact that some PP'ers are childish enough to call him a girl.

If your going to abuse him, make a better job of it please.

 

[kablooee87]

Alright kids, what did we learn today?

1. England need to figure out how to play ODIs.
2. Pakistan are a comepletely different team with their strike bowlers.
3. England fanboys will be England fanboys.
4. Pakistan fanboys will be Pakistan fanboys.

It explains that i'm a 15 year old boy yes. I'm glad you realised it finally.

I'm so glad that I could help a poor person learn.
