Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup, 5th Match | Dhaka | 18/3/12 | Pakistan Innings

[ekpakistani]

it will be cautious start for pakistan for sure ... but one of the opener needs to take attack to indian bowlers

yes they should start in attacking style .. i don't mind 70/2 in 10 overs

 

[hamzie]

 

[iZeeshan]

It probably would have been better to chase against India given the nature of their bowling and our ability to take it slow and not set as high a total as we can

But then again, we're awful chasers. But India are amazing chasers.

IT'S TOO MUCH.

Let's go

 

[Mission18thMarch]

nasir jamshed century inshallah...

 

[Shaan]

why taking batting first after winning toss

 

[Asif321]

here we goo

 

[BMW Power]

So batting first, good or bad idea? I thought the ball starts to come to the bat under light

I reckon they are better of setting a target, rather than chasing.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should have added a batsman here. Why would you play 7 bowling options???

 

[cool n cool]

a B I G PHEW that we'r batting first!!!!!
.

now i know that we can/should/will win

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Kumar to open up, Prof to take strike.

 

[Shaan]

Pakistan all the way, I hope Umar bhai will give some stick to Indians!

 

[Justcrazy]

I think Pakistan is showing too much confidence in & as batsman, playing a batsman short may haunt.

 

[iZeeshan]

Pak vs India clashes makes my blood pressure go up

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Here we go, Parveen Kumar to open the bowling for India.

 

[Farhan2c]

Leggo

 

[Justcrazy]

Afridi at number 7 is too high for him.

 

[NJamal]

I back the decision of going with 3 quicks, its an aggressive move and InshAllah will pay dividends.

 

[insaftak]

Salam all

Is Skysports showing this?

 

[Maher96]

1st ball pk to hafeez.

Inswibger hafeez struggles.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hafeez needs some runs here.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

almost bowled

 

[sarmadsl]

Ohhhh

 

[PB]

Hafeez was gone

 

[Justcrazy]

250 , India will chase that.... Pakistan should look for solid start rather than flashy ones.

 

[ads101]

er why did we go with one less batsman?

Silly decision. If we wanted 3 pacers we should have dropped Afridi. We're just making our batting weaker, our bowling is strong enough.

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Some crazy swings from parveen kumar

 

[PB]

Wow swing

 

[Munna]

Pakistan should have added a batsman here. Why would you play 7 bowling options???

Because we want to mentally demoralize india by showing off how many genuine bowlers we have unlike them

 

[NJamal]

The ball is keeping low.

 

[imshally81]

big swing

 

[Justcrazy]

averaging a poor 26

 

[carbon11]

gonna see another phattu innings from hafeez most likely

 

[imshally81]

:4

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Afridi should have been replaced by Wahab

 

[NJamal]

by Hafeez

 

[iZeeshan]

Four! Good.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Short, slow , wide. Hafeez guides to the ropes.

 

[pakistani lion]

come on hafeez four!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zane]

I think its calling for disastrous.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

[NJamal]

[KingKhanWC]

The ball is keeping low.

Lack of Indian pace.

Swinging a bit.

 

[Zane]

Pakistan all the way, I hope Umar bhai will give some stick to Indians!

LOL, I think the whole bangladesh is suppporting us today ... I feel sorry for india! 2 matches in a row with no support what so ever

 

[NJamal]

LOL @ Praveen

 

[insaftak]

Guys is skysports showing this match?

 

[Muhammad Waleed]

Pak 5/0

 

[Justcrazy]

When you are making when you are making Umar WK , you should take advantage of that and play extra batsman and look to bat out opposition by getting 300.

 

[sarmadsl]

5 4rm the over

 

[NJamal]

5/0 after 1 over.

 

[KingKhanWC]

5-0 off the first.

Irfan will partner his trundler mate.

 

[iZeeshan]

Here's hoping Nasir plays his natural game

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Pitch is really slow, have to time the ball rather than pushing at the ball.

Pathan to come on.

 

[yadunoe]

good start by prof

 

[dhump]

I am already worried about Umar Akmals Keeping with ajmal and afridi as our main strike bowlers we dont have a proper keeper.

 

[Munna]

Add sri lanka to the list too!

 

[Justcrazy]

Partnerships is what Pakistan should look for..... partnerships will win them games.

 

[NJamal]

Naqli Pathan into attack

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow 300 should be easy. Umar Akmal will kill them

 

[KingKhanWC]
