Pakistan vs England, 1st ODI, Cardiff: Updates

[Rana]

akhtars last spell has to be deadly

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

overs are still flying pass which is great.. and lets still pray it dont rain !!

 

[ShowStopper]

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

Cart wheeling u mean?

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Dropped! This is the kind of presents we have been serving Bell, Collingwood and co all summer. Somehow I dont think the Aussies will be in such charitable mood.

 

[DesiMD]

131/4....after 35

 

[iZeeshan]

akhtars last spell has to be deadly

yea he has to get at least a wicket in his comeback!

 

[Rana]

restart

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

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

Yes that was a beauty aswell, all of them was...but u know Laxman and his defence...and asif got his middle stump for a swing.

Sachin was undone by the pitch there, no bounce at all

 

[infamous9383]

drinks so far so good for Pakistan

 

[yk]

Feezy back on.

 

[Rana]

single taken

 

[ShowStopper]

Get Shoib in he need just one wicket to get to a mile syone of 200 ODI wickets. Inshallah he will get it today.

 

[Rana]

quite pre-meditated by Bell

 

[Rana]

134-4

 

[hisix]

partnership 35 off 66... 134/4

 

[Rana]

136-4

 

[ShowStopper]

And Afridi only needs 165 rund to go to 5000 runs in ODI cricket I am sure he will acheive the milestone too in this series Inshallah. And 12 more wickets to go to 200. Malik is also closingin on 100 he needs only 2 more.

 

[iZeeshan]

Man, this is a really SLOW partnership

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Eng 131-4 off 35 overs. 15 overs to go in the last hour. We need a wicket asap. No more presents to Bell please!

 

[hisix]

138/4 36 overs

 

[Rana]

138-4

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

only one boundry in last ten over, tidy bowling from pak, indeed!

 

[iZeeshan]

whats a chasable target?

 

[Rana]

afridi bowling a good spell here

 

[aamir]

Get Shoib in he need just one wicket to get to a mile syone of 200 ODI wickets. Inshallah he will get it today.

You just made me regret that Strauss decision in the first over for the first time. He deserved to get this 200 right then.

Dropped! This is the kind of presents we have been serving Bell, Collingwood and co all summer. Somehow I dont think the Aussies will be in such charitable mood.

agree brother. really frustrating to c our fileders keep on dropping the catches.

 

[Rana]

2 4 in a row

 

[iZeeshan]

Razzaq has only bowled 4 overs, and has done really well.

 

[hisix]

2 boundaries in 2 balls Bell 77*

 

[iZeeshan]

Great shot! Off the knees for four!

 

[Rana]

top spinner

 

[hisix]

37 overs gone. 148/4

 

[iZeeshan]

No 4s for 10 overs, but now two in a row!

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Cart wheeling u mean?

yeah, u can say that... =)

 

[Rana]

we need a couple of back to back wickets!

 

[aamir]

Well we have a little bit of a thing going there between Afridi and Bell.

 

[Rana]

i f pakistan bowl the way thet did at bristol near the end, i dont thing england ill reach 200

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I think the spin experiment should be curtailed.

 

[CricketJunoon]

is inzi sleeping
bring the damn fast bowlers

 

[ShowStopper]

agree brother. really frustrating to c our fileders keep on dropping the catches.

What the hell was Jonty hired for? and is he still there? is yes, then Jonty "YOU ARE FIRED"

 

[Rana]

151-4

 

[aamir]

Should bring back Razzaq for Afridi now.

 

[GQ]

I think we need to get them out under 250. Anything over 250 might get difficult for Pakistan.

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Well we have a little bit of a thing going there between Afridi and Bell.

Keep us updated, sir

 

[Rana]

Rana Naved needs to sort his throw out, hes a fast bowler and batsman can rrun two with how weak his throw is!

 

[Pakistani tigers]

boys calm down we are way behind over rate i think
we need to be finished bowling by 5.30pm othwrwise we will be docked overs

 

[Rana]

edged 4!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

150-4 we have let england off the hook. Inzy again letting the game drift.

 

[ShowStopper]

Recent overs . 1 1 1 1 . | 1 1 1 . 2 2 | 1 . 4 4 1 . | 1 1 . 1


Last few overs have been expensive for us.

And did anyone notice the 50 partnership? Dam we need to break this.

Current partnership 53 runs, 13.0 overs, rr: 4.07 (Bell 34, Dalrymple 17)

 

[Rana]

This partnetiop is in good conttrol

 

[the_game]

boys calm down we are way behind over rate i think
we need to be finished bowling by 5.30pm othwrwise we will be docked overs

Umm...docking of overs doesn't happen any longer.

 

[Rana]

singles are pileing!

 

[Rana]

England dont play ODI cricket with the right intent! no agression watsoever

 

[hisix]

I have a feeling Bell is going for his 1st ton in ODI

 

[ShowStopper]

Inzi back to his usuall self, leting the opponents off the hook.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

This why Inzy gets flak when he doesnt make obvious changes.

 

[iZeeshan]

think its time for a change, akhtar, asif, and rana should bowl the last 10 or 11 overs

 

[aamir]

Keep us updated, sir

Bell lofted Afridi for a 4 over mid-wicket. Afridi had some words for him. Next ball Bell cuts down to third man for another four. Afridi gives him the glare from hell, Bell winks back at him as he watches the ball cross the boundary

That round goes to Bell

 

[ShowStopper]

Bell will be out on 97

 

[CricketJunoon]

what is happening hafeez again...a 7th bowler

 

[CricketJunoon]

are we that behind in over rate

 

[Rana]

163-4, 10 overs remain!

 

[hisix]

163/4 40 OVERS gone

 

[Pathan007]

AFridi should be taken off the attack. he's losing his temper as a result giving away runs.

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

I have a feeling Bell is going for his 1st ton in ODI

We have a bad habit of giving mediocre players big runs. Players like Wavell Hinds, Sarwan and etc.

 

[Rana]

The gangster is back on!

 

[CricketJunoon]

Rameez is saying again and again that Inzi needs to have abowling change now rather than later....this is crazy

 

[ShowStopper]

Akhter and Rana have 4 overs each and Asif 2 why the hell is Inzi wasting their overs?

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Bell lofted Afridi for a 4 over mid-wicket. Afridi had some words for him. Next ball Bell cuts down to third man for another four. Afridi gives him the glare from hell, Bell winks back at him as he watches the ball cross the boundary

That round goes to Bell

Unfortunately it was bell´s round...but the MATCH will go to pakistan inshallah

 

[Rana]

excellent first ball

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib on...yes!

 

[hisix]

shoaib on

 

[ShowStopper]

The gangster is back on!

Lol who is the Gangster? O Shoiab good nick

 

[Rana]

1 run taken of the 2nd ball

 

[iZeeshan]

Great start from Shoaib. Play and a miss.

 

[Pathan007]

are we that behind in over rate

nope we still have 52mins and only 10overs to be bowled. so we r OK

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

Akhter and Rana have 4 overs each and Asif 2 why the hell is Inzi wasting their overs?

I don´t get this...

 

[Rana]

wat a delivery! 1 run

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

are we that behind in over rate

No we arent! we have until 6pm local time to bowl the last 10 overs. thats about 50 mins.

 

[ShowStopper]

40.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Dalrymple, no run, Great ball first up on his return. Dalrymple swooshes at that one and it whizzes past his outside edge at 86mph. Top bowling
