Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup | Karachi | 02/07/2008 | India Innings

[deathstreak]

pakistan should win this easily.
The pitch is good for batting

 

[Dhonifan]

hes in i htink

 

[Momo]

There you go. 7 more to go. Go Tanvir!

 

[majalani]

Tanvir to bowl 49
Rauf 50th
part bowler would have done better than Tanvir

 

[iZeeshan]

Sadly, 300 will be achieved.

 

[sehban]

wide by tanvir he has bowled quite horribly today

 

[Yaqub]

If India crosses 315, we will be in trouble

 

[lollol]

Wow, that was a STUPID move by misbah....

 

[Inswinger]

Collision but Sarfraz holds on.

 

[sehban]

dhoni gone

 

[Dhonifan]

misbah failed to make sarfraz drop the catch

 

[Momo]

Dhoni will complete his ton.

 

[FAM]

Thanks god!

 

[Big Mac]

Misbah trying to put Sarfraz off as he takes the catch

 

[Poison]

Tanvir does not beat Chawla, picks up the Poni.

 

[Momo]

Dhoni's wicket is actually a blessing in disguise for India. The next batter will tonk the ball into the orbit!

 

[Dhonifan]

Dhoni was looking tired

 

[12thMan]

good effort to fluff the catch. Were they arguing Tum Tum Tum Tum and couldn't decide who will catch it

 

[jusarrived]

Tanvir does not beat Chawla, picks up the Poni.

he does !

 

[Momo]

Two balls left. Tanvir needs 2 to better Chawla, 1 to equal him!
But he has taken a wicket so I guess Chawla has won after all.

 

[lollol]

The ball here in this pic is right above Sarfraz. Misbah didnt see him, and also didnt hear him for the call...

Collision, but luckily sarfraz didnt drop it

 

[12thMan]

last over coming up
Ind 294-5
Tanvir 1-86

 

[Momo]

230 on!

 

[jusarrived]

a match winning innings form Dhoni ...well played captain !

 

[FAM]

Thanks for the pics lollol

 

[Noddy]

Sohail becomes the 2nd most expensive pakistani bowler in odi history after Rana Naveed's 2/92 v SAf.

 

[Momo]

What an innings from Dhoni.
Super cricket. He has put India out of Pakistan's reach.

 

[FAM]

300 up.

 

[12thMan]

the tired fielding effort of Pakistan can get India pass 310

 

[iZeeshan]

Lucky 4s. 303 up.

 

[Poison]

a match winning innings form Dhoni ...well played captain !

Yes, at a strike rate of 70 with just 4 boundaries. He should cop the same stick as Malik.

 

[TruSachFan]

phew pathan getting us to a good total.

 

[FAM]

Total: 308 / 7 in 50.0 overs

 

[lollol]

They end up on 308.

I think its too much for us, especially now we dont have Malik (best batsmen for PAK this tournament)

 

[Indiafan]

Yes, at a strike rate of 70 with just 4 boundaries. He should cop the same stick as Malik.

difference when ur opeing and setting the tone and when u have just lost 4-5 wickets

 

[Poison]

309 to win.
Not out of reach, we need a good opening.

 

[iZeeshan]

14 off the last one, and 308 to win.

 

[Easa]

308 for 7. Its chaseable.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Not a bad effort considering out batting line up didnt click, now lets see what Nasir Bradman Jamshed can do..

 

[Momo]

Yes, at a strike rate of 70 with just 4 boundaries. He should cop the same stick as Malik.

How? He played only a minor part of power playes while Malik wasted all 20 overs. Dhoni has knowledge that 90 quick runs were already on board so he played sensibly. Malik started when Pakistan needed 6 an over and by the time 25 overs ended, we neded more than 8 with Malik still thuk thuking.

Comparing the two innings is a sin!

 

[pixaar]

Yes, at a strike rate of 70 with just 4 boundaries. He should cop the same stick as Malik.

check the context in which the runs are scored.
india were off to a great start and 3 quick wickets. malik opened the innings.
perfect inning from dhoni.

 

[cars112]

308 for 7. Its chaseable.

It most definitely is - just need a good start.

Wow, someone's "eager to please" today isn't he?

 

[W63L35]

77 runs in last 10 over........ 26 runs in last 2!

 

[jusarrived]

Yes, at a strike rate of 70 with just 4 boundaries. He should cop the same stick as Malik.

well , you shud check my post about maliks innings first .......anyway if not for dhoni we wud have never got 250 , forget 300 ....his personal strike rate hardly matters !

 

[Momo]

They end up on 308.

I think its too much for us, especially now we dont have Malik (best batsmen for PAK this tournament)

Malik or no Malik, it's impossible. Because you are going to see a great Test performance from our players.

 

[SameerM]

308/7 !!

Butt will fire it up or crack under the pressure!

 

[dblock]

I think some luck and superb batting will be required to get even near this total, need a century from one of the top order, a quick start, lbw shouts evened up and a few dropped catches hopefully.

 

[Rickz]

India end strong at 308/7. Well batted by Irfan Pathan in the death overs.

 

[vaibhav_delhi]

308 is a par score.....
1 +ive thing is that dhoni has played arnd 100 balls......the longer dhoni bats, the better is the chance for india always...

 

[pixaar]

will pakistan be docked overs for failing to complete the quota withing times?
or it was just that there were too many breaks because of the heat?

 

[bablu_khan]

77 runs in last 10 over........ 26 runs in last 2!

not bad really

last 10 overs, pakistan bowled pretty well.

dhoni also batted well for his knock

 

[Poison]

Im comparing that people thought Malik should have accelerated after consolidating, and i think Dhoni had the same responsibility..India could've been around 340-350.

 

[Momo]

Wow, someone's "eager to please" today isn't he?

Want another dose like yesterday?
Don't hesitate. I will oblige.

 

[cars112]

Don't hesitate. I will oblige.

No, the inadvertent comedy provided your posts today already has me in raptures. ) ) )

 

[Big Mac]

Don't think they dock overs anymore, just fine/suspend the captains

 

[McBoom]

After India & then Australia, you are his next target !

 

[Momo]

In this tournamenet everybody is struggling so no overs will be docked. England captain had to sit out some games due to the same offence though. However Karachi is very hot and an allowance is being given t everybody.

 

[cars112]

After India & then Australia, you are his next target !

Someone really has a lot of time to keep tracking a fellow poster, doesn't he?

 

[NeVerMind]

It's do or die for Afridi today...

 

[Indiafan]

Im comparing that people thought Malik should have accelerated after consolidating, and i think Dhoni had the same responsibility..India could've been around 340-350.

with 5 wicket down, with only Pahtans to come, India would have more likely ended at 270 all out of Dhoni had gone put. On the other hand, for Malik all his batting was left who would have scored faster

 

[Sher-e-Mysore]

308 is an over par score on this flat track. Pak keep wickets till say the 40th over and its their game to lose.

 

[Momo]

No, the inadvertent comedy provided your posts today already has me in raptures. ) ) )

So when you are amused, you start whining like you did yesterday?
Want me to produce some proofs? Who resolved never to respond to me ever?
You remind me of Ponting. First you throw something and when it comes back you are the first to complain about behaviour.

 

[Momo]

After India & then Australia, you are his next target !

[SameerM]

a NEW pak innings THREAD is open.. get ready for the Fight back ....

Nice comeback, totally unexpected..........

Cars112 is notorious for his unexpected comebacks ) ) )

Every one here knows what ur main agendas are . :miandad

 

[lollol]

Not a bad effort considering out batting line up didnt click, now lets see what Nasir Bradman Jamshed can do..

Are u going to call him bradman all the time?

After a while, it isnt funny anymore...

And batting line up didnt click? It was good bowling by our bowlers.

The wicket of ghambir was lucky indeed, but even i - the greatest Rao hater in the universe - have to say he bowled really well today.

IND should practice with short-pitched deliveries against these youngsters, as two of them got out on those.

 

[McBoom]

Cars112 is notorious for his unexpected comebacks ) ) )

) ) The next one will be don't butt in the middle of an argument, you have nothing to do with it blah blah.

 

[Momo]

) ) The next one will be don't butt in the middle of an argument, you have nothing to do with it blah blah.

That's correct. After about two three messages he starts whining but the best thing is that come the next day, he starts all over again!

 

[Yaqub]

Hello Guys. How u doin today?

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Hello Guys. How u doin today?

Not so good thanks. My back is aching, my legs are buckling, my mind is adrift on a featherbed of gently lunacy, I have this persistent tic in my cheek, and my hands are itching to strangle someone in a blaze of desolate madness.

And I'm one of the better members here.

But how're you doing today?
