Pakistan vs England, 1st ODI, Cardiff: Updates

[iZeeshan]

And the partnership breaker is BACK!!!!!!!

 

[Big Mac]

Afridi \o/

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

haha....so is Afridi's career over...some ppl really say anything....go BEAST...

btw good fifty by BELL

 

[yk]

Unleash The Beast!!!!

 

[the_game]

Afridi breaks through! 98/4. Collingwood gone.

 

[iZeeshan]

So Jamie Airlymple. What can he do?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

England 98/4 (24.4 ov)

 

[Noman]

Surprise,,,,, LBW GIVEN::::::: PAkistani lucky this time

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

another quick wicket or two and inshallah we can bowl them out asap then !!

 

[hisix]

99/4 25 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

How many overs has Akhtar bowled so far, and for how many rubs?

 

[yk]

FEEZO in

 

[yk]

nice line feezy

 

[hisix]

Hafeez on for Razzaq

 

[iZeeshan]

Feez in at the other end...why not Malik?

 

[ShowStopper]

24.4 Shahid Afridi to Collingwood, OUT, drifting into Collingwood who comes forward, the ball turns enough and raps him on the pad and Afridi roars an appeal. That's about as plum as a rather large plum from a big plum tree in Plumshire

I love this commentator

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Rana needs to be pulled out bring on the spinners.

I wont say I told you so!

 

[iZeeshan]

Is Hafeez really better then Malik? I mean they're both offspinners so it can't be a question of that...

 

[ShowStopper]

England are in a mess again here. Super bowling change from Inzamam though. Here comes Dalrymple

 

[hisix]

25 overs gone 101/4

 

[iZeeshan]

England's RR is suffering, and with 25 overs to go, they won't be able to attack because of a lack of wickets!

 

[pak4life]

hafeez is a underrated bowler

 

[iZeeshan]

Maybe. Bell almost got Darlymple

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Feez in at the other end...why not Malik?

Probably cos they r trying to ease him in after his elbow troubles.

 

[hisix]

another no ball. 105/4

 

[iZeeshan]

When Afridi bowls short and wide, you can easily get a four, but they're playing it into the gorund.

 

[GQ]

Surprise,,,,, LBW GIVEN::::::: PAkistani lucky this time

Haha. I know man. It seemed like we're only gonna have to get them clean bowled.

 

[ShowStopper]

25.6 Mohammad Hafeez to Bell, 1 run, crunched and well timed but straight to long off and they can only grab a single
There's England's hundred, from about four million overs
25.5 Mohammad Hafeez to Dalrymple, 1 run, pushed out into the covers and they walk a single, the fielder half asleep there
25.4 Mohammad Hafeez to Dalrymple, no run, a cracker, drifting away from Dalrymple's meek prod forward and passing the outside edge
25.3 Mohammad Hafeez to Dalrymple, no run, better line and length, Dalrymple defends on the front foot. No turn here for Hafeez
25.2 Mohammad Hafeez to Dalrymple, no run
25.1 Mohammad Hafeez to Dalrymple, no run, outside the off stump, miles too wide but not called a wide by the umpire

 

[iZeeshan]

Probably cos they r trying to ease him in after his elbow troubles.

Or maybe because Billy Docshiite is umpiring. He must be looking to call at least one person for chucking today, if not Asif.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

i am thinking we are behind over rate...need to get these overs in quickly i feel

 

[hisix]

107/4 27.1 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

Well with 3 spinners in the side, it shouldn't be problem eh?

 

[iZeeshan]

Easy singles coming for England.

 

[hisix]

End of 28 0ver 110/4

 

[iZeeshan]

If you analyze England's situation, this is really thier last recognizable pair. I mean Read can bat a bit, but I have seen him play in ODIs. And I can almost assure Rikki will be absolutely useles..

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i am sorry but u have to bring back a strike bowler...maybe akhtar for 2 overs....kinda waiting for soemthing to happen with 2 spinners...need to attack from one end

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

we need to bowl 23 overs in an hour and a half or get 6 wickets i know which i prefer.

 

[iZeeshan]

i am sorry but u have to bring back a strike bowler...maybe akhtar for 2 overs....kinda waiting for soemthing to happen with 2 spinners...need to attack from one end

Yes that would be a good idea, because you aint going anywhere with two spinners.

 

[iZeeshan]

we need to bowl 23 overs in an hour and a half or get 6 wickets i know which i prefer.

23 in 90 minutes? That's a bit troublesome, but if Afridi, Malik and Hafeez get in 18 overs together, we should be fine.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

The overs are just flying pass now.. which is good we wer behind the right !!

 

[hisix]

wide ... 113/4

 

[iZeeshan]

Wide ball again.

 

[Rob H]

Wow, Zulu got it spot on!

 

[iZeeshan]

These bowlers are just bowling line and length. Wickets will not come this way.

 

[hisix]

misfield from shoaib gives englad first 4 in 7 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

4 runs thru third man.

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow, Zulu got it spot on!

Zulu? Interesting nickname...

 

[aamir]

On that point about Zulu's email, for England to have a chance in the world cup they may need experiiment with the opening pair a bit. Maybe either KP or Flintoff at the opening stop with Thicko?

 

[ShowStopper]

29.5 Mohammad Hafeez to Bell, FOUR, waits for that one and helps it to third man where it's misfielded by Shoaib Akhtar. That's the first four from seven overs

Kia baat hey Cheetey?

 

[hisix]

121/4 30 overs finished

 

[CricketJunoon]

is razaq off the field still?

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

England 121/4 (31.0 ov)

 

[DesiMD]

123/4

 

[iZeeshan]

It maybe time to bring Malik in...

 

[iZeeshan]

Rapped on the pads. Good bowling.

 

[DesiMD]

It maybe time to bring Malik in...

there isn't a need...as long as run rate is going down...there is no need to change bowlers..i think

 

[ShowStopper]

KP fell to Asif for only two. Well This Official now Kp is Asif's Bunny

 

[DesiMD]

asif is too good for any one...

 

[DesiMD]

126/4....33 overs

 

[Rob H]

i cannot believe this. Someone text oxy to shoot these 2.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

asif is too good for any one...

True

 

[Rana]

127-4

 

[aamir]

Slowwwwwww!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

If these two get a decent partnership I reckon England will post 236. 126-4 off 33.2

 

[Rana]

34 overs gones

 

[hisix]

127/4

 

[DesiMD]

i thinkshoaib should come back replacing hafeez in 38th over....
127/4...34

 

[iZeeshan]

Yes but we also want wickets. btw, when Hafeez bowls, I can't tell a difference if its him or Malik.

 

[Rana]

pakistani bowling looking very hard to score off

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I can never forget the 3rd test match against india in karachi, the second innings when asif got all the big guns.

The dismissal of Laxman was awesome...the middle stump spinning and spinning and spinning....and spinning in the air

 

[iZeeshan]

dang...149 zeros in a odi? thts half an inning!

 

[Rana]

dropped

 

[DesiMD]

yes...that was nice indeed...but i liked sachin's out in that match as well..lol

 

[hisix]

Is that a missed chance

 

[Rana]

drinks

 

[iZeeshan]

it was a hard chance...

 

[yk]

half chance, caught and bowled, afridi puts it down.....drinks break.

 

[Rana]

i dont think afridi is injured

 

[aamir]

Afridi drops a caught and bowled chance off Bell. Low but catchable.

 

[iZeeshan]

knowing afridi he would have caught it, but oh well...
