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

[Inswinger]

Not only do we need to win this match, we need to win it around 42-45 overs to cut into the RR.

 

[FAM]

Sehwag has come to bowl.

 

[FM87]

Required RR is 5.85/over. Pak can chase 308 within 40 overs if they don't lose unnecessary wickets.

 

[observer1]

ODI's are changing now, batsmen need to score faster to get to a good score... that includes yousuf, he let us down vs srilanka.

This is not a video game. Every player goes through a bad game/patch.

If this is as bad as Yousuf gets, so be it, atleast he is still making runs. As far as i am concerned, Yousuf is a Pakistan Legend.

 

[Inswinger]

Its time we treat guys like Y Pathan and Sehwag like the part timers they are..

 

[McBoom]

Did Wasim just say that Sehwag is a wicket taking bowler ??

 

[sehban]

148/1 23

161 to win of 162 balls
9 wickets in hand

 

[Showman]

Did Wasim just say that Sehwag is a wicket taking bowler ??

lol, I was wondering about that too!

 

[lollol]

Guys, prepare for another run-out......

 

[FAM]

Pakistan need 156 runs in 26.3 overs.

 

[Inswinger]

Oh what a shot!!
Right between the two fielders!!!!!

 

[12thMan]

Did Wasim just say that Sehwag is a wicket taking bowler ??

he has taken 79 wickets

 

[W63L35]

It's very unlikely that Pak will successfully chase this target of 308. You need at least one Inzamam and two Misbahs to chase this huge target, and unfortunately Pak has only one Misbah.

Required RR is 5.85/over. Pak can chase 308 within 40 overs if they don't lose unnecessary wickets.

A few overs - and opinions are changed!

 

[sagar]

I don't remember saying he's the only one under the microscope. Akmal had been under it for a long time and he's gone thankfully, afridi is too.

What my point is that you can't put a player under microscope if he has been your best player for past year and a half. If you don't believe me, look at the matches played Since the beggining of 2007. Yousuf clearly has been your best batsman period. His averages are actually probably around same if not better than Tendulkar and Ponting. What more do you want from your best batsman. He is the only Pakistan batsman who is in top ten ranking. I don't understand why such treatment for your best player. It is pathetic.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Guys we need to finish it off within 42 overs...

 

[Sparhawk]

This is not a video game. Every player goes through a bad game/patch.

If this is as bad as Yousuf gets, so be it, atleast he is still making runs. As far as i am concerned, Yousuf is a Pakistan Legend.

Hes a great player, has an average of 43 in ODI's and a strike rate of 75, which was ok some years ago but now he has to raise it. I'm a big fan of yousuf in tests, and i know he's capable of scoring a lot faster in ODI's. Its about time he started doing it.

 

[lollol]

Did Wasim just say that Sehwag is a wicket taking bowler ??

Yes, he did

He, just like Rameez, only likes to please his employer....

 

[MaVeRiCk]

we should win this now.. when we get to wiithin 50-60 runs without losing any we wickets we should really start going for it to boost the RR.

 

[FAM]

Spinners are bowling, and both YK and Moyo are good players of spin.

 

[sehban]

159/1 24 11 off the over good good stuff

 

[12thMan]

chokkon ki barish. MoYo zindabad
Pak 159-1 - need 150 from 26 overs

 

[FAM]

Run Rate : 6.62 (Required:5.77)

 

[lollol]

.

 

[azfar wali]

35th odi fifty for Younis Khan

 

[FAM]

Younis Khan not out 50 55 5 0 90.91

 

[FM87]

A few overs - and opinions are changed!

c'mon yaar, i'm just having fun here. Don't take my opinions so seriously.

 

[sagar]

chokkon ki barish. MoYo zindabad
Pak 159-1 - need 150 from 26 overs

Not 26 but 18 over to get a chance of making the finals.

 

[FAM]

Run Rate : 6.60 (Required:5.76)

 

[Sparhawk]

Guys we need to finish it off within 42 overs...

That means we need to score at over 8/over. Its very doable if we start the acceleration soon, still lots of wickets in hand.

 

[6hitter]

zindibad pakistan

 

[sehban]

165 at the half way stage

 

[iZeeshan]

This is in our hands now...

 

[lollol]

MoYo gone!

Bowled by Chawla.

Nice spin! really nice spin!

 

[TruSachFan]

moyo lmao

 

[FAM]

Moyo gone. Bowled by Chawal. Doob maro.

 

[FM87]

bowled, 2 down. I told ya, chasing 308 would be almost impossible for Pak

 

[Sparhawk]

Chawla is a pretty useful spinner.

 

[iZeeshan]

Are Pakistan even thinking of the NRR?

 

[Mercenary]

Still not a single six from any Pak batsman, what are the jokers playing at!

 

[iZeeshan]

Oh no! Yousuf out.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And there goes Moyo back to the pavilion for 20....

 

[Sher-e-Mysore]

Yousuf bowled around his legs. Nonsense shot.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Whats up with our batsmen treating chacha with so much respect

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Skipper Misbah walks out to join YK!

 

[lollol]

Misbah coming to bat.

Hmm, does that mean he himself thinks he needs to bat up the order...

 

[Inswinger]

Time for Misbah to do some damage control.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Misbah off the mark with his 1st ball faced!

 

[FAM]

Captain Misbah has come to the crease.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

what happened to jamshed and butt? what kind of injury they have?

 

[lollol]

Remember how many times PAK middle-lower order has collapsed....

 

[iZeeshan]

Should try to get the target in 44 overs, but I don't know if they will be going for that.

 

[Sparhawk]

Misbah's like a ticking time bomb. Any moment he's gonna explode and then it'l be one six after another, i hope he doesn't wait until the final overs to do that.

 

[the true passionist]

This will be tricky; Pakistan has a short batting line up.
Last recognized pair if Jamshed doesn't bat again.

 

[lollol]

what happened to jamshed and butt? what kind of injury they have?

Jamshed is having cramps.

Butt has no injury, but a disease. A chronic disease, of getting run-out every time. Its progressive, and incurable

 

[gibster82]

Misbah should have held him self back - now if a wicket falls Afridi will be the last recognized batsman. When will Paksitan understand that Afridi is not a finisher...we better hope that these two finish it off - no more wickets...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Last 5 overs: 23 runs and 1 wicket

 

[FM87]

Still not a single six from any Pak batsman, what are the jokers playing at!

Your wish will be soon fulfilled by Misbah.

 

[Oxy]

Scores PLEASE!!!

 

[Pak_mystery]

Ok guys lets do this,win this game doent matter how many overs it take but lets win it and then destroy BD,scoring over 400 and bowling them out under 200

 

[gibster82]

Yup almost gone...Mishab...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Excellent sweep shot by YK - Between the 2 fielders and neither had a chance to stop it!

 

[iafzal]

Misbah should have held him self back - now if a wicket falls Afridi will be the last recognized batsman. When will Paksitan understand that Afridi is not a finisher...we better hope that these two finish it off - no more wickets...

hmm... really?

 

[lollol]

This will be tricky; Pakistan has a short batting line up.
Last recognized pair if Jamshed doesn't bat again.

Agree, i hope that the PAK fans here see that...

No more reliable batsmen to come after these two!

 

[Easa]

Scores PLEASE!!!

173 for 2 after 26.3 overs

Need 136 runs @ 5.83

 

[FAM]

Pakistan: 175/2 (27.0 Ovs)

 

[FAM]

Run Rate : 6.48 (Required:5.83)

 

[6hitter]

yusuf!!!!!!!!!!! issed: issed:

 

[gibster82]

hmm... really?

Perhaps he isnt even a recognized batsman anymore - given that pakistan need to win this quick - it would have made sense to send afridi before misbah

 

[lollol]

Scores PLEASE!!!

Hmm, dont u watch the match?

 

[FAM]

134 runs required in 23 overs

 

[sehban]

175/2 27 overs...still pak is in a pretty good position
chose wickets intact and keep taking singles we shud win it
but couple of wickets and everything can change

 

[6hitter]

tanvir and safraz could bat

 

[gibster82]

tanvir and safraz could bat

I wouldnt rely on them when chasing

 

[Sparhawk]

uh oh, referred to 3rd ump

 

[Wazeeri]

Assuming SL marginally beat India
Pakistan need to win this in 43 overs
and beat Bangladesh by 30 runs.

 

[lollol]

I think he is in

 

[Oxy]

Hmm, dont u watch the match?

Obviously not all the time...

 

[gibster82]

i think he may be run out

 

[Sparhawk]

Just in!!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

uh oh - What is this now.............................Thank God he's just in!
