30 more minutes to go , it will be a intresting yet very important match for both side and Inshallah Pakistan will win .
What is the final XI for todays match any changes or pakistan going with the same team as the last match.

 

[161]

points are carried into the next round so i don't think we will be doing any experimenting with different players.

 

[Poison]

Whats the PP policy on streaming links?

[Hash]

Yeah with points being carried forward this isn't a meaningless game.

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. ^^

 

[P4K1 #1]

Pakistan should be looking for a 300+ score.

 

[Poison]

Pakistan should be looking for a 300+ score.

Only if the Beasty in your DP opens. He'll feast on Ishant Sharma and co if its not swinging.
Still, I think a good chance for a big hundred from somebody today inshallah.

 

[MIG]

is there a bonus point involved ?

 

[Momo]

Exactly. Sri Lanka is there too and one of the big three will have to make way for two in the finals.

lanka's got an advantage playing in the double minnow group ...

points shouldn't have been carried forward.

Is there any site I could go to to watch the game on the net?

 

[Poison]

Pakistan unchanged.

ha ha ha @ harsha ..
i feel sorry for ramiz for doing the pitch report for the same pitch everyday !

Thats right. Pakistan probably needs to beat India either today or in the roundrobin stage (or both) in addition to beating SriLanka. Like you say, Sril Lanka has an advantage.

 

[Random Aussie]

Just watching the intro - India beaten by Sri Lanka - 245 runs in Sharjah in 2000? ) )

Can someone PM me a working stream link? - cheers

 

[sehban]

hope they follow the same policy as pak did in the final ...save wickets and then go bang bang bang

 

[iZeeshan]

*sigh*

same team.

Batting first. Should be good stuff.

 

[DM]

Please Lord make us open with Afridi

 

[Poison]

*sigh*

same team.

Batting first. Should be good stuff.

Lookin at your avatar, i saw Khurram Manzoor's ODI figures.
Gettin the drop after scoring a maiden 50 on debut is a bit harsh.

 

[Momo]

Any working streams please!

 

[iZeeshan]

Its disappointing, but I don't consider it a drop. To be honest, there's no room for him in the team. Opening is "TECHNICALLY" fine. No room in middle order. So I don't blame selectors. I mean come on, Nasir hasn't even played.

 

[iZeeshan]

Really hope to see S Malik get off to a good start and no ugly shots. HE really really needs this.

yes, I remember the match. we got all out for 50 odd runs after Jayasurya alone scored almost 190 runs!!!!

 

[DM]

Afridi not opening

Butt and Malik

 

[lollol]

I hope they dont use the same strategy of a slow start

This time india have more regular bowlers!!

 

[iZeeshan]

Just leaving everything outside off. Both are clever cricketers. Praveen wants him to bite. And Butt knows that.

 

[Momo]

Go Butt!

 

[lollol]

Im getting nervous, kumar getting to much movement for my liking

 

[iZeeshan]

Great shot from Butt. Bit of a straight drive for 4.

Pakistan open their account.

4/0 1 over
Butt 4 (6)
Malik 0 (0)

Malik doesn look to comfortable

[Random Aussie]

India's improvement in the field is very noticeable

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik doesn look to comfortable

When does he ever?

 

[Random Aussie]

Good bouncer by RP, badly played by Malik

 

[Momo]

I think its for USA only. Thank you still!

 

[iZeeshan]

Malik refuses to score.

2 overs gone, Pak 4/0

 

[Random Aussie]

For some reason I get an error when I try to Pm you Momo, sorry.

Quick single to Butt, maybe a run out chance but missed the stumps

 

[lollol]

Almost runout again....

 

[iZeeshan]

You can't PM here. Just post it. Then edit your post.

 

[lollol]

Stupid butt, almost run-out malik

Whats it with this guy??? He gets himself runout every time, and also his partner....

 

[Poison]

Same approach as Kitply final ^^. No problems here

 

[Pak_mystery]

C'mon guys we need a 320+ today

 

[Random Aussie]

Cautious start by Pakistan

 

[McBoom]

Hands down Butt is the worst runner in cricket currently.

 

[iZeeshan]

Slow but steady start by Pakistan.

Pak 6/0

Malik 1 from 8
Butt 5 from 10

 

[dblock]

Problem is kitply tactic could be risky - what if there is a mid order collapse like the other day.

 

[Dhonifan]

we need a wkt!!!

 

[lollol]

Pakistani batsmen need to learn something about PLACEMENT.

 

[Poison]

Hands down Butt is the worst runner in cricket currently.

You cannot say that when Danish Kaneria still lurks.

 

[lollol]

Agree, and besides, arent they now with 1 more regular bowler??? I really hope they dont think they can use the same strategy..

 

[lollol]

We are talking about regular batsmen

 

[Poison]

We are talking about regular batsmen

He got a great score against South Africa in a Test batting with Rana Naved. Regular i say.

 

[DM]

I really hope we start increasing the run rate. We should really go after these bowlers' throats

 

[Random Aussie]

Malik pulls RP for 4444444444

 

[lollol]

RP trying the bouncer again, but it hasnt the necessary speed

 

[Oxy]

Great pull for 4 by MAlik

 

[Plasma]

Shot! Spanked over to the legside!

4 for Malik.

 

[iZeeshan]

Great pull shot by Malik! 4!

 

[Poison]

This looks absolutely flat as a tack.

 

[dblock]

Malik needs a big innings here.

 

[Momo]

You can't PM here. Just post it. Then edit your post.

Please read the above, Random Aussie.

 

[DM]

We need to send at least one or two boundaries an over.

This wicket is dead. Also Afridi needs to come in early

 

[Random Aussie]

Please read the above, Random Aussie.

Lol I did. Just edited it too quick

 

[lollol]

Dead wicket
Slow start
Not all too good bowlers from PAK
Viru + Gauti

.........


I hope this goes good.......

 

[iZeeshan]

Ok honestly, I was being patient, but this wicket is dead beat! At least get some singles! Rotate the strike, its a right-lefty!!!!

 

[TaZ]

would have been better to give Afridi a go and see him blast away Sehwag style

 

[Poison]

I think theyre seeing off Kumar.

 

[Momo]

Thank you Random Aussie.
Appreciated!

 

[lollol]

I think theyre seeing off Kumar.

Indeed they are...

Its simple as that: kumar with the new ball is too good for our openers...

 

[lollol]

Where can i apply for batting coach for PAK??

I can learn them something about placing the ball....

 

[Random Aussie]

Both batsman hitting the ball nicely but straight to the fielders

Crap shot from Malik, move your feet!

 

[Poison]

Meh he took the Aussies apart aswell. But i think theyre gonna have to have a go after the 8th or 9th over.
we'll need 300 +++ to be sure of a win.

 

[iZeeshan]

Just keep wickets and hand and try to get 4 runs an over. That would work, yes.

 

[lollol]

Both batsman hitting the ball nicely but straight to the fielders

Thats what i was saying.

But they hit it with the right length TO the fielders... if they place it a little bit short, they can take easy singles... just like the last ball btw

 

[iZeeshan]

6 gone.

14/0

Can they get singles?
