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

[FAM]

And another one! Shabash Rao! Keep going beta!

 

[McBoom]

By God I want to kill Rao!

 

[FAM]

Six!

 

[Osman]

keep trying Rao ... keep trying ...

 

[observer1]

Well i am probably only the few guys left that actually still rate Rao.

OK he is no Waqar or Wasim, i see him like Rana, maybe Azhar Mahmood or Abdul Razzaq. In the sense he can still pick up a few wickets and make a valuable contribution with the bat.

 

[FAM]

)

 

[Hash]

Just the start we needed

 

[iZeeshan]

) My stream shut off as soon as he got hit for six )

 

[SameerM]

RAo - getting owned first over !!!

time for Afridi to put his spin into action??????

 

[iZeeshan]

Just the start we needed

Are you going to keep saying that?

 

[CricketBuff]

This is murder. Call the Police!!

 

[FAM]

India: 65/0 (7.0 Ovs)

 

[Inswinger]

Its really hard to be optimistic after its 65/ 0 after 7

 

[dblock]

Rao getting spanked as predicted by everyone!!

 

[lollol]

15 from the Rao over )

Did i already say he is crap???

 

[IndianKing]

What a mighty strike ! Viru !! Six!

 

[Dhonifan]

Rr 9.5

 

[FAM]

Who's next?

 

[dblock]

They are swinging and connecting with everything.

 

[lollol]

Rao getting spanked as predicted by everyone!!

Not everyone, i remember saying someone he should be in the team for consistency )

The consistency to get hit for 6'es )

 

[Dhonifan]

if this doesnt change PCB's thinking nothing will

after 20/20 you just cant have patta pitches!

 

[Momo]

Momo, how do I be pessimistic in the highest sense?

You mean while I am there?

On a serious note, what's happening now isn't extraordinary. It is ODI cricket of 2008. Now, what you will see 3 hours from now will be extraordinary, in that you will see batsmen trying to occupy crease and leave balls outside off and go on doing thuk thuk till around 30th over. Kind of pisses one off!

I want our team to understand that we don't lose matches when we get hammered in the powerplays. We lose matches when we dont reply in kind.

 

[IndianKing]

Doesn't Pak have any better bowler other than Rao..seriously..I feel like SLAPPING him...thrash line n length

 

[iZeeshan]

At 9 an over! )

Ouch.

 

[Hash]

Are you going to keep saying that?

yep

 

[Kashif]

Score predictions anyone? I think India will get around 350.

 

[Zaad]

320+ is expected from india...today or even more.. and 159 will be pakistan total

50 from afridi

 

[Indiafan]

Yeah sure....nice to see my name along side the likes of Gambhir, Sehwag and ummm, Rao.

So you just sent a mail to them? I should try. i can be Indiafan Patel

 

[Random Aussie]

Pakistan are getting killed here

 

[Osman]

Who's next?

doesn't really matter .... i mean surely no-one here actually thinks these trundlers can contain this Indian batting line up?? We thought our lineup back in 2005 against India was bad ... we had Razzaq, Sami, Rana ... hell lookin at these "pacers" they were like McGrath, Lee and Gillespie compared with these lot... and at least they actually delivered!!!!

 

[lollol]

Score predictions anyone? I think India will get around 350.

380+

We already lost this man, what are you talking about? Stop having hope in the team! You are putting NAZR on them!

Look at you optimistic fools. Think we can chase down 400? DON'T THINK SO.

 

[Hash]

So you just sent a mail to them? I should try. i can be Indiafan Patel

yeah you go to feedback, click on the match in question and write away :miandad

 

[pixaar]

pak should learn from india how to take singles.

 

[SameerM]

prediction by ME - especially for u Izee (pesimistic view!)

100 off 10 ie. 500 of 50 overs!!!


and then the pak tiger in me says.. 200 off 50 overs..

 

[IndianKing]

4

 

[iZeeshan]

) Another 4. Boy, this is really killing some averages here, and boosting some SRs!

 

[Raz]

India will be restricted to 320

Pakistan will chase that down with a few overs to go.

 

[Osman]

oh ok, it was freaking me out that an India/Pakistan match had this sparse crowd! Never happened before y'see. And today Pak needs home support like never before

i wouldn't exactly pay to watch these bunch of pansies either ... not worth paying your money for.

 

[iZeeshan]

I seriously think Pakistan should have forfeited this game due to "Lack of performing players".

At least we wouldn't have to see this.

On a serious note, Rauf has been bowling relatively well.

 

[FAM]

A dot ball!

 

[Master Blaster]

Time to bring on the Beast !!

 

[pixaar]

India will be restricted to 320

Pakistan will chase that down with a few overs to go.

i believe the first part.
not the second.

 

[SameerM]

whoever is watching, is MISBAH as captain, doing ANYTHING?

is he reassuring, moving the field? doing his job..

 

[Raz]

This pitch seems like an absolute belter for batting, and will be the same for us. If the likes of Tanvir are getting smashed, heaven can only help Mr 70mph Praveen Kumar.

 

[dblock]

Hate watching the bowling attack.

 

[SameerM]

any chance of rain????

 

[lollol]

Umpire doesnt even bother for the appeal

 

[iZeeshan]

India will be restricted to 320

Pakistan will chase that down with a few overs to go.

I am sorry, but I hate these stupid predictions because it gets me hopeful, but then I think, and like HA! No way.

 

[lollol]

I cant express, how much it hurts to me to see this bowling attack

 

[dblock]

That was plumb!

 

[SameerM]

Rao had him lbw'd !!!!!!!!! umpire u blind rat !!!

 

[Raz]

Rao's ODI bowling average before the match started was 34.12, it is now 34.42

 

[TurkishCricketFan]

a hat-trick from Mr constipator would help.

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh dear, now that makes me mad.

 

[FAM]

that was out!

 

[pixaar]

actually they are playing quite relaxed.
no hurry. taking a lot of singles.

 

[Kashif]

The wicket retention plan will not work on this wicket. Just got for shots from the word go. Just as well there is no PP Radio coverage for today, what a depressing experience that would be for the commentators.

 

[SameerM]

It would have crashed into middle and off. It hit the left pad and then went on to hit the bat but umpire Ian Gould didn't pick it up


anyone know his ^ home address?

 

[IndianKing]

that was Plumb...Viru gets a life

 

[Raz]

I am sorry, but I hate these stupid predictions because it gets me hopeful, but then I think, and like HA! No way.

I think on this wicket anything below 340 can be chased, so there is about 20 runs or so leeway from my predicted score

 

[iZeeshan]

Lazy a$$ fielder.

 

[Oxy]

Hello

What seems to be the latest (toss wise etc)

 

[TaZ]

8.3 Iftikhar Anjum to Sehwag, 1 run, shout for lbw as the bowler thinks it hit the pad first. It cut back in towards the middle and off, Sehwag went back to cut and it did hit the pad first before running of the bat to third man. Lucky escape there. It would have crashed into middle and off. It hit the left pad and then went on to hit the bat but umpire Ian Gould didn't pick it up.

 

[Momo]

iZeeshan, I have had enough of this third rate cricket team. I am shutting everything down and going home. Now you hold the fort, okay!

P.S. Cricket is not an exciting sport. I have had enough of it. There are so many great sports in the world. You have Racquet Ball, you have Croquet, you have Tiddly winks, and many many more. I am going to follow those.

I know I have made some spelling mistakes above, but who cares?
Apna khayaal rakhna ...

I hope you are right.

But my brain is fired up right now.

 

[SameerM]

Hello

lol - games finished already!! india won toss.. therefore the game

 

[Raz]

Wow!! 5 runs off the over, good one Sir Rao!!

I think I am getting bored of watching cricket too, especially when Pakistan is getting pasted.

You know, you and I should catch a game of golf, or better yet, croquet sometime. Yes, that should be fun. And we can drink tea and talk about politics while playing.

 

[Momo]

Hello

Sassi's city Bambore has already been vandalized.

 

[lollol]

Actually, the ball was far away from the bat

 

[iZeeshan]

Wow!! 5 runs off the over, good one Sir Rao!!

Sad thing is, he should have had a wicket too, and only FOUR runs.

 

[SameerM]

Abdur Rauf still bowling!! go stallion

 

[Master Blaster]

Rameez is virtually crying !!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

looks bleak for pak....they need wickets or 320 plus is inevitable

 

[Oxy]

Full house today???

 

[iZeeshan]

OOO I KNOW!

Nasir Jamshed is going to have an epiphany and hit a majestic 195!

 

[jusarrived]

match still not over ........80 off nine overs can easily be 120/4 off 20 overs !

 

[iZeeshan]

Full house today???

When isn't?

 

[iZeeshan]

match still not over ........80 off nine overs can easily be 120/4 off 20 overs !

Not with Sir Raw bowling. And Tanvir completely off the mark.
