Pakistan vs Hong Kong | Asia Cup | Karachi | 24/06/2008

[Oxy]

MAlik on 26* - but not moving his feet.

 

[lollol]

So star sports is doing the production? I would expect a Pakistani company doing production, but an Indian..

Who cares who does the production???? I only care if its good, and its good. So no complaints from me

 

[ahsan17]

I think it might be Star?

Yes - I believe Star sports is Indian. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Oxy]

What a shot!

Text book straight drive, down the ground by Malik

Nothing wrong with that

Malik 30*

 

[Plasma]

guyz any coverage of this match in uae? becuz still nothing and thers nothing on the internet as well

there are a few streams. Try to search on google. Also do you ahev star Cricket? Its being played on that channel.

Thats a slow stream you have - Pak have had 2 more since then!

Yes it is. But beggars can't be choosers right?

 

[iZeeshan]

MAlik on 26* - but not moving his feet.

When does he ever, nowadays?

 

[infamous9383]

is CBN freezing for anyone else either?

 

[NeVerMind]

another 4 from Malik. He is now only dealing in boundaries.

 

[Oxy]

Bloody Hell - Malik on fire

Sqaure cut for 4

34*

Pak 63-1 off 10 overs

 

[lollol]

Track is flat as hell!!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Wonderful shot from Malik, that last 4. Nicely timed.

I guess they just needed sometime to settle in.

 

[Oxy]

Yk 25* / Malik 34*

 

[Afridi_Fan]

abey yaar 2 aur fours, kia hu gaya Malik Bhai?

 

[iZeeshan]

Track is flat as hell!!!

I'd be scared to see what Ghambir and Sehwag would do on this pitch.

 

[Oxy]

Z Abbass comes on to bowl

 

[Afridi_Fan]

9.6 Irfan Ahmed to Shoaib Malik, FOUR, Moves back and across to cut past point. The floodgates are officially open.

 

[Oxy]

Guided through square - YK turns 2 into 3!!!!

66-1

 

[Sheikh]

Wonderful shot from Malik, that last 4. Nicely timed.

Really? How dare they! Should have been 100-0 after 3 overs!

 

[Plasma]

Where are the malik bashers? I guess he didn't get that duck some people were praying for.

 

[DM]

Oxy/Dblock I'm looking to start an Afridi thread here


***ELEVEN SHREDDED ""BEEF"" WITH FRIED RICE*** Shahid "Voltage Clamps" Afridi Vs HK


Change?

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Bhaiyo any video Link?

 

[lollol]

ALmost runout...

 

[Oxy]

Direct Hit - and Malik would have been run out

Good fielding

 

[lollol]

Where are the malik bashers? I guess he didn't get that duck some people were praying for.

Im not a malik hater, but i will become one if he doesnt open against india & sri-lanka!!

 

[DM]

Please bring Afridi in now - look at that track!!!!

 

[DM]

Good batting from Malik

YK too slow at the moment

 

[Sheikh]

For all of you bashing the low crowd turn-out; it's frickin Hong Kong for Baitullah's sake! Anyhow it's less than an hour into the game and I expect more people to filter in as the game progresses.


And the game on Thursday has been sold out since yesterday.

 

[Sparhawk]

Stadium is almost completely empty.

 

[lollol]

Please bring Afridi in now - look at that track!!!!

Agree! Im nog a afridi fan at all, but i want to see if he has REALLY lost his hitting ability. Ive seen him even get out from full-tosses, so id like to see if he can score quick against HK on a flat pitch

Didnt see your post there. But they just showed three people so thats a good sign. :dna

 

[iZeeshan]

Really? How dare they! Should have been 100-0 after 3 overs!

Dude, I said nothing of the sort. But the shots they were playing were just plain ugly.

And oh, I meant THESE two needed to settle in. Sehwag and Gambhir prolly would have started slashing from the start.

Do you understand what I meant in my original post now?

Yeah, but i still want to see some home support.

Ppl should go watch it live at the stadium instead of posting at PP

j/k

It better be. Karachi. Pakistan vs India. What more do they need?

 

[Sheikh]

Lots of under-edges so far. Some variable bounce in this pitch.

 

[Plasma]

Please bring Afridi in now - look at that track!!!!

Don't speak of such things DM!

Pakistan's reputation is already bad, the Breast killing the HK side with his rar will be the last thing we want!

 

[DM]

He actually had a wrist injury in the last few matches - that's why he wasn't hitting big

I hope that injury's settled.

 

[lollol]

Malik gone...

 

[Bad Light]

Please anyone knows that who is showing the match in UAE ?

 

[DM]

Plasma ) ) )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Ha Ha Ha Ha
Malik Gaya Ta Ta

 

[Sheikh]

I'm going on Thursday. Also the tickets have been priced so high that people can't afford to go to every game. I'm not sitting in my usual stand on Thursday because it's Rs 2700 for a ticket!

 

[Oxy]

Damn - Malik out!

Good catch.

 

[DM]

Ox/Dblock/any other mod around, i'm looking to start an afridi thread

***ELEVEN SHREDDED ""BEEF"" WITH FRIED RICE*** Shahid "Voltage Clamps" Afridi Vs HK

will i change this?

2700 rupee wow

 

[Oxy]

it's Rs 2700 for a ticket!

Is that seat made of solid gold??? Thats just too expensive

Do you understand what I meant in my original post now?

That's fine, but it would be nice to lay off the bashing for maybe half an hour so. You were ready to go 10 minutes into the game.

 

[Afridi_Fan]

who is the next man in?

I hope afridi but my mind says it wont be him, please prove me wrong

 

[lollol]

I will consider a score <400 below par :dna

Best not to....

 

[iZeeshan]

I love watching Mohammad Yousuf play. Pure class.

 

[Sparhawk]

Brilliant four by yousuf, i would have much rather seen misbah or afridi come in but if yousuf can keeping playing like that its all good!

 

[Oxy]

Moyo with a n exquistive cover drive for 4

71-2

 

[DM]

Good start from Moyo that's what i want to see

pure relentless bloodshed from ball 1

 

[Sheikh]

It better be. Karachi. Pakistan vs India. What more do they need?

We could have three Pakistan Vs India games in Karachi in this tournament.

 

[NeVerMind]

Irfan Ahmed to Shoaib Malik, OUT, Wicket no 2. Malik goes. Malik went back and across to cut a short of length delivery low to left of backward point where it's held smartly. Fab catch that. He had to go low to his left and lunge forward as well.
Shoaib Malik c Butt b Irfan Ahmed 35 (32b 7x4 0x6) SR: 109.37

 

[Oxy]

Did he say Wasim Akram in the comm box???

 

[lollol]

wasim bhai to commentate!!!!!!
GOGOOGOGOG

 

[iZeeshan]

That's fine, but it would be nice to lay off the bashing for maybe half an hour so. You were ready to go 10 minutes into the game.

Only because its Hong Kong. You shouldn't see such stupidity against third-class bowlers on a flat a** track.

 

[lollol]

Did he say Wasim Akram in the comm box???

Yes, he did

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Damn its MoYo

 

[NeVerMind]

Did he say Wasim Akram in the comm box???

Yup, He is speaking as I write.

 

[sohailalam]

why arent the younger batsmen getting a chance even against the likes of HK?
our main guns hogging all the minnows.......

 

[Oxy]

Wasim with a poor start to his stint.

Just reading everything on the screeen...then calls the next shot a 4...when it was only 2!

 

[DM]

Best not to....

no goat references, nothing lurid, much milder than previous stuff

can i try please?

 

[iZeeshan]

Damn its MoYo

Dude, the guy's pure class. Just watch him score a 40 ball 50.

 

[Oxy]

MArvellous shot for 4

YK leans into that one

 

[NeVerMind]

I wonder what Akram's catchphrase will be?

In the footsteps of Waqar 'Akksellant" Younis, Zaheer 'I must say" Abbass and Mushtaq "You Know like" Ahmed...

 

[Plasma]

Is that seat made of solid gold??? Thats just too expensive

PCB said that they want to cash in some moula from the Indo Pak match. However this game is not expensive at all. 500 rupees is the most expensive i believe.

and Wasim Bhai to comment!

 

[DM]

we should be looking for 2 boundaries an over at least against these guys, really show no mercy

 

[iZeeshan]

why arent the younger batsmen getting a chance even against the likes of HK?

Because we have monkeys running our team.

Meanwhile, a wonderful shot for 4.

 

[Oxy]

no goat references, nothing lurid, much milder than previous stuff

can i try please?

Like I said, best not to....

 

[Inswinger]

Espn360 are screwing up the coverage, first they decide to not show the first hour and now its still not up even though its past 7

 

[iZeeshan]

Going at a healthy 6.24. Should try to score at least 150 in the last 15 overs.

 

[Oxy]

Wasim Akram

"Good dive - I think he saved a 4 it but I think its 4"

 

[iZeeshan]

Espn360 are screwing up the coverage, first they decide to not show the first hour and now its still not up even though its past 7

Dude just buy a stream from somewhere. I got mine for just 14 bucks!

 

[Oxy]

I wonder what Akram's catchphrase will be?

In the footsteps of Waqar 'Akksellant" Younis, Zaheer 'I must say" Abbass and Mushtaq "You Know like" Ahmed...

He's not very good - thats his trademark

 

[DM]

Like I said, best not to....

I understand Ox, you dont want to be the one giving a green light

I'll start it and see how it goes - no beast references, no goat references, nothing lurid,

just metaphor - surely Afridi's agent can't be against any metaphor

 

[Sheikh]

Couple of nice, aggressive strokes by Younis. Pretty quick outfield this.

 

[lollol]

My man

 

[Oxy]

Lovely lofted straight drive for 4 by YK

88-2 off 13.3
