Pakistan Vs India | 2nd match | Kitply Cup | Mirpur | Pak Innings | 10/06/2008

[Dhonifan]

What you mean by he is owning? He scored just 15 runs.

so far, but seems to be going the 115 way
always looks confident against our bowlers no matter how much pressure there is

 

[Zaad]

we need to keep going

20 overs

167-3

 

[MIG]

Ok next target, 100/3 - INSHALLAH !! Chal bhai Chal Akmal !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's through and last ball goes for four!

 

[azfar wali]

8 runs form the over

 

[FAM]

another 4

 

[pakcricketfan]

boundary on the 1st n last ball....
Lagay raho Misbah!!

 

[Zaad]

what a beauty it is.....75-3 in 12 overs

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

pak showing some spine here....long way to go

 

[SameerM]

i dont think that akmal is good enough to be played as specialist batsman.when we have likes of fawad and amjad waiting in the ranks.both are way a head of akmal in terms of batting technique and above that adds variety to the attack with bowling options and brilliant fielding.

BUT have they got the persistence, the fire to succeed and save pakistan from a shameless defeat? Akmal has done it a few times already .. wot u think?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What a shot by Akmal!

SIX!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pakcricketfan]

Six!!!!!!!!

 

[azfar wali]

six runs for Akmal

 

[Zaad]

omg kamiii

u r amazingg

 

[khanz141]

What a shot by Akmal for a 6!

 

[Zaad]

calm down boy calm down

 

[SameerM]

Lagay raho Misbah bhaii!!

 

[SameerM]

Akmal in HULK mode !

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akmal gone...

 

[Dhonifan]

The ASASSIN is back in action

watch out Sameer, you gonna jinx him the way you did moyo

 

[McBoom]

After losing the swing, Praveen is bowling absolute pies.

 

[Salman]

Kamran gone...

 

[linuxaddict]

"Dhoni is standing up to the stumps". Says Cricinfo..

 

[Big Mac]

Kamran

Wait, do we like him now or is he still completely useless? So hard to tell with the official PP opinion of players changing by the hour.

 

[SameerM]

watch out Sameer, you gonna jinx him the way you did moyo

i jinxed Akmal! by callin hi hulk

 

[lollol]

akmal caught of a full-toss....

 

[Dhonifan]

phinally!

 

[maamrut]

Just when they were putting up a fight...too bad Kami gone.Praveen another 4 fer.

 

[khanz141]

thats it for Akmal. He did pretty well though....atleast not what we expected of him

 

[Legendary_Sage]

BUT have they got the persistence, the fire to succeed and save pakistan from a shameless defeat? Akmal has done it a few times already .. wot u think?

but they should be given a proper run like kamran has.despite the numorous failures he is kept with the team.
without giving any one a chance how would you know what he is capable of.

 

[Poison]

wickets r our issue.

 

[SameerM]

picked out the fielder !!!

 

[Mohsin]

Oh kaptaan sahib aa gaya!!!!!!!

 

[Dhonifan]

i jinxed Akmal! by callin hi hulk

rock, hulk, assasin...keep em coming

 

[McBoom]

Another pie lands in the hands of a fielder. Should have gone in the stands.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

RRR is 6.7, which is not too bad. These two now need to bat selfishly and aim to both get 100's.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India's player of the match so far - Younis Khan

 

[Legendary_Sage]

i have seen fawad batting and i have seen a fighter in him.he has all the shots in book.a very stable player to have in the middle order.can become next misbah for us

 

[SameerM]

here comes Malik - the Pakistani GW Bush ?? (dhonifan- u tink it'll work again?)

 

[Sheikh_Ji]

In Malik we trust

 

[SameerM]

i have seen fawad batting and i have seen a fighter in him.he has all the shots in book.a very stable player to have in the middle order.can become next misbah for us

i hope yk, butty boy, or malik himself is rested in next game.. so ur dream can come tru.. hopefully u r right

 

[Sheikh]

Kamran

Wait, do we like him now or is he still completely useless? So hard to tell with the official PP opinion of players changing by the hour.

My opinion hasn't changed; talented batsman who hasn't made the most of his ability, yet; and an absoulte dud as a keeper.

 

[Poison]

no matter how many wickets..230 in the 40th.

 

[Goldbrain]

here comes Malik - the Pakistani GW Bush ?? (dhonifan- u tink it'll work again?)

) I never thought anyone can be more dumber than GW Bush.
We have got one Mr. Kaptaan Saab

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Cricinfo ---- Omar: "Shoaib Malik...is not tactile enough" says Farhan. Really? The intimate level of information cricinfo's subscribers provide is remarkable.

[McBoom]

Kamran

Wait, do we like him now or is he still completely useless? So hard to tell with the official PP opinion of players changing by the hour.

Keeping well is his primary job, his ineptness comes to haunt us even more in test matches.

 

[Legendary_Sage]

i hope yk, butty boy, or malik himself is rested in next game.. so ur dream can come tru.. hopefully u r right

i rate player on his ability rather then being blind follower.i 100% back fawad to be our next big thing in middle order in both forms of the games or rather three i mean T20 as well.

 

[Poison]

misbah should launch chawla !

 

[pakcricketfan]

Malik...you've got to play well!!!
You've got to get your form back...remember how u played in the T20 Wc against SL and Australia...

 

[SameerM]

cricinfo: "Nice deft touch. Good wrist work, too"

hmmm, looks like the Bush label is working on Malik!!

 

[Usman Chadda]

I believe we should drop the mighty Younis Khan from the ODI team and play Fawad Alam in that no.3 position. Or better, play Misbah at no.3, put Fawad at no.5 or 6. Younis is a liability with the bat nowadays, he just cannot score in ODI cricket!

 

[SameerM]

ishants back for more!! can Misbah give him a 1st class ticket to the resurrection?

 

[Sheikh]

Will Malik do an Ashraful?

 

[SameerM]

imagin him bald.. looks a bit like Yoda

 

[khanz141]

I think Fawad should be brought in the next game inplace of yunis khan.

I wouldn't hav agreed with u about dropping Younus had u said it some time back (may be that Pak tour of India)...but now I do.

 

[lollol]

) )

)

mind you, he is one of the most promising pacers right now!

 

[khanz141]

I wouldn't hav agreed with u about dropping Younus had u said it some time back (may be that Pak tour of India)...but now I do.

I was a very strong backer of Yunis Khan too but since he isn't our captain i think he should be droped to make way for Fawad.

 

[prince_of_hell]

lol.... how many runs do pakistan have to make just to keep their net run rate above Bangladesh or such that they can be sure of reaching the final...
Coz if Pak gets shot down here for a really low score, India could lose to Bangladesh just so that they can play Bangladesh in the final once again........

SO who's hoping SHahid Afridi's batting clicks today!!!!
I cant hope for Kaptaan sahib, he's just becoming a disgrace

 

[pakcricketfan]

I think Fawad should be brought in the next game inplace of yunis khan.

I agree..

 

[khanz141]

We need a few more misbahs in the line up

 

[SameerM]

now comes the sensible singles and double batting.... zzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

back in a bit

 

[lollol]

look at afridi's avg, and compare it with a reserve)bowler (iftikhar) ) )

 

[Muddaser]

Guys, stick to the topic.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Chance for Malik to show if he is actually made of anything.

A big knock here, might be something for the future.

 

[Zaad]

so guys it looks like mr.malik has to play a captain of an inning!

 

[Zaad]

why isnt sohail tanvir up the order

is he a an all rounder

 

[SameerM]

look at afridi's avg, and compare it with a reserve)bowler (iftikhar) ) )

Afridi is a bowler too.. so what are u trying to say?

 

[SameerM]

why isnt sohail tanvir up the order

is he a an all rounder

we need some foundation b4 we let the 'allrounders' on the pitch

 

[prince_of_hell]

SHoaib Malik needs to score and stop wasting balls

 

[prince_of_hell]

Kaptaaan gone!

OOps , sory, not kaptaan, Misbah gone

 

[pakcricketfan]

look at afridi's avg, and compare it with a reserve)bowler (iftikhar) ) )

yeah...but Wahab's is the best..

 

[Dhonifan]

here comes Malik - the Pakistani GW Bush ?? (dhonifan- u tink it'll work again?)

The most powerful man on earth? The one who has brains and looks? sure, it should work (for us)

 

[maamrut]

Ishant impeccable line..gets Misbah.Thats tame.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Malik and Misbah should look to get to the 40th over with the Required run-rate at around 6.5-7.0 RPO. Afridi and Tanvir can be handy for finishing off the game. All depends on these two now

 

[prince_of_hell]

wait, s**t, MIsbah gone! WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[pakcricketfan]

noo...Misbah!!!
Never expected this from him...

 

[Zaad]

ok over and out

 

[Zaad]

but the good news is boom boom is in.

 

[Dhonifan]

assasin gone!
now I can relax
