Pakistan vs England, 1st ODI, Cardiff: Updates

[iZeeshan]

england batting looks very weak...

 

[Big Mac]

Shoaib limping

 

[iZeeshan]

cheeky single.

 

[Easa]

Shoaib seems to be limping a bit.

 

[Easa]

I hope its not too serious.

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib limping

when was that?

 

[evertonfan]

england batting looks very weak...

A bit like Akhtar's hair bobble.

 

[the_game]

Shobby limping. Good God.

 

[aamir]

did you not see the edge on sniko?

No I did not see one. Infact the closeup snicko replay they showed (in which the ball was completely out of the frame) was probably of the last ball of the over which was going down the leg anyways.

The contentious 4th landed on the leg was hitting middle of middle. I would have been happy with it had it been given against Pakistan.

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

Shoaib is limping.. great just great !!

 

[iZeeshan]

I hope its not too serious.

If its Shoaib, its serious.

 

[Bailan]

Shoaib should just go off ... no harm in that

 

[161]

oh well ley him rest and bring RAMBO In

 

[iZeeshan]

wide ball...man 3rd over and shoaib screwed up!

 

[Easa]

He's still bowling quickly, though.

 

[Easa]

Play and miss - great bowling!

 

[iZeeshan]

england rolling along at around 4 an over

 

[iZeeshan]

wonderful bowling from shoby

 

[Big Mac]

Guys, don't worry too much as it just means that Ranadinho comes into the attack in Shoaib's place

 

[KaSaNoVa_G]

this is just soo damn annoying watching shoaib limp.. just soo damn annoying ...

 

[Easa]

Nice cover drive, 2 to Bell.

 

[iZeeshan]

2 runs for belly

 

[Easa]

Shoaib continuing on, ignoring physio.

 

[Pakistani tigers]

what is happening now with Shoaib...is he on field?

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib continuing on, ignoring physio.

He should listen, it could be bad.

 

[Big Mac]

Shoaib's still there on the field, had a little chat with the physio at the boundary's edge but hasn't bothered with any treatment yet. Too busy making sure his hair is in place first, it's all about priorities you see.

 

[Rob H]

26/1 off 6

 

[MMA]

what kind of commentation is that on Cricinfo

 

[iZeeshan]

But the bolwers knows best whats happening...

 

[Big Mac]

He should listen, it could be bad.

He's been injured enough to know when something feels genuinely serious.

 

[iZeeshan]

great shot for four by belly

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Oh c'mon Shoaib dont leave us in the lurch again!

 

[UJ]

what kind of commentation is that on Cricinfo

5.1 Mohammad Asif to Bell, 2 runs, driven through the covers. Shoaib has stopped 15 yards from the boundary leaving the physio looking rather lost, rather like the pimply boy at the school disco

 

[evertonfan]

The contentious 4th landed on the leg was hitting middle of middle. I would have been happy with it had it been given against Pakistan.

No you wouldn't, you would have started a thread about how Daryl Hair payed Billy Doctorve to throw the game or something.

 

[iZeeshan]

Shoaib continuing, speed a bit down though

 

[ali_ed2006]

[iZeeshan]

So the powerplay rule is still in play...

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

Pitch looks 250+ to my mind.

 

[Easa]

Edged away for 1.

 

[Big Mac]

oooooooh another edge from Banger. This one would have been wide of a 3rd slip if one had been there.

 

[Easa]

Shoaib continuing, speed a bit down though

91 MPH is what I saw, 2 balls ago.

 

[Rob H]

Lack of atmosphere at the ground isn't there.

 

[Amir]

Last year on this ground Bangladesh beat Australia. So we very well could see a underdog beat top favourite story as England may just scrape past Pakistan

 

[Easa]

90.5 MPH last ball.

 

[iZeeshan]

Tresco looks very edgy

[Amir]

Good single, Bell can becomea good oneday player if he just takes singles like such.

 

[Big Mac]

Shoaib leaving the field now he's finished his opening spell.

 

[Easa]

Shoaib leaving the field after his spell, Farhat comes on

 

[Shayan]

30 for 1 after 7. Shoaibs gone off

 

[iZeeshan]

What's Billy doing? Light bad?

 

[Easa]

30-1 (7.1)

 

[Amir]

Akthar off the field and now Farhat on teh field...Oh no!

 

[iZeeshan]

And SHoaib goes off? Do you think he'll be back? If not then Razzaq, Malik, Afridi, and Hafeez will be bowling lots of overs

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

ok, hope he´s fine...champions trpohy coming up, everyone must be fit!!

 

[aamir]

No you wouldn't, you would have started a thread about how Daryl Hair payed Billy Doctorve to throw the game or something.

Don't make presumptions about knowing me buddy. You don't.

 

[Rob H]

Good running between these two. Block and run, disrupt the bowler's line.

[Amir]

Whoa I just realized Clarke was in teh oen day side. Where did that come from? And where is collyflower?

 

[Pakistani tigers]

Shoaib has the most fragile body ever man...he needs to stop smoking i thinks too and improve his general fitness.

 

[Amir]

Whoa I just realized Clarke was in teh oen day side. Where did that come from? And where is collyflower?

Nevermind, I just realized Yardy was the one dropped for some odd reason

 

[Big Mac]

Ranadinho

 

[Shayan]

only change is clarke for Yardy

 

[iZeeshan]

Seems like Rambo will be coming in soon.

Colly is in the side, Amir.

 

[Rob H]

that was a brilliant shot. Welcome to the crease Rana.

 

[Shayan]

rana driven first ball, 3 runs, 35 for 1.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

how come all those over in the nets ...and shoaib doesn't feel any pain...as soon as a real game starts something happens...maybe he tries his most in a real game...hope he is ok...

 

[Amir]

Alright Cricket has a new voice...Mick Jagger!

 

[iZeeshan]

Rambo goes for runs.

Whats the news on SHoaib, I have no audio so...

 

[Shayan]

shoaib is having his calf taped, dont think its too serious

 

[Rob H]

Alright Cricket has a new voice...Mick Jagger!

yeah he loves his cricket. I always remember him saying "that Glenn McGrath.......what a b*****d"

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i have shin splints and it could hurt at times when i bowl...but calf holders make the pain go away...maybe shoaib has the same problem

 

[Shayan]

35 for 1, 9 overs

 

[iZeeshan]

[Bailan]

shin splinters are a (#$@


they can go away with a little rest
